Lehigh Township Planning Commission Considers medical Marijuana campus

By SAVANNAH BROWN

The Lehigh Township Planning Commission met Monday, May 8 with a lengthy meeting to discuss the construction of a Verizon Wireless communication facility and the building of a medical marijuana campus on Birch Drive.

The first order of business was Verizon’s special exception request to erect a 180-foot-tall wireless communication facility at 3861 Lehigh Dr. due to the height of the pole exceeding the township’s ordinance. The

manacle will be set back 369 feet on the Villanova property along Indian Trail Road off of Route 248 and will help provide coverage to Verizon customers where there are coverage gaps in that area. Representative Kate Durso also acknowledged that Verizon would be willing to share the tower with other companies. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval for the variances conditioned upon the applicant

East Allen Supervisors hear plans for Lettuce greenhouse off Route 512

By KERI LINDENMUTH

During their meeting on Wednesday, May 10, East Allen Township supervisors met with representatives of Bright Farms LLC, an indoor farming company that grows local, nonGMO lettuce. The company is interested in building one of its East Coast greenhouses in East Allen Township on Locust Road between Route 512 and Arrowhead Road. The company already has six greenhouses along the East Coast, including one in Selinsgrove.

Kate Bowdler, Senior Project Developer, said Bright Farms grows lettuce for local consumption. West Coast lettuce, she said, lacks in quality due to shipping times and also pollutes the

Academic updates presented to Northampton School Board

By SAVANNAH BROWN

During the Northampton School Board meeting on Monday, May 8, Superintendent Joseph Kovalchik and Assistant Superintendent Michelle Schoeneberger provided academic updates on 2022 Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) results, projected Star assessment scores, and academic remediation contracts for students.

The PSSAs are state standardsbased assessments that show student and school performances for proficiency in English and language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science and technology based on grade level. Students in

Grades 3 through 8 are assessed in ELA and math, and students in Grades 4 and 8 are additionally assessed in science. The Star assessments measure students’ reading and math skills, monitor achievement and growth, and track how well students understand skills aligned with state and common core standards.

Schoeneberger revealed the spring 2022 Northampton Area School District PSSA results that the state recently released.

For ELA, the district received the following scores: Grade 3 had a 64% proficiency score with the state average showing a 52.3% proficiency score and a 65.7%

projected proficiency score for the Star assessment; Grade 4 had a 65% proficiency score with the state average showing a 52.2% proficiency score and a 66.1% projected proficiency score for the Star assessment; Grade 5 had a 63% proficiency score with the state average showing a 53.6% proficiency score and a 64.3% projected proficiency score for the Star assessment; Grade 6 had a 47% proficiency score with the state average showing a 56.1% proficiency score and a 60.6% projected proficiency score for the Star assessment; Grade 7 had a 57% proficiency score with

environment because of crosscountry shipping. Bright Farms lettuce is consumed by customers within a four hour radius. Giant is currently one of the company’s biggest customers. The 32-acre greenhouse is powered by sunlight and uses horizontal farming. It would cost roughly $300 million to develop and create 255 full-time jobs with healthcare, 401Ks, and managerial opportunities. The company predicts 68 trucks per day at full-build, which will happen over the course of eight years.

To begin the development process, Bowdler and her team requested the opportunity to open up an escrow with the township and meet with the township’s so-

licitor and engineer to potentially plan out language for a zoning amendment that would allow for a controlled environment greenhouse in this agricultural zone. The draft amendment must still go through the proper advertising procedures. Supervisors approved this request.

In other news, supervisors also granted conditional final plan approval for the 6292 Hanoverville Rd. Minor Subdivision Plan. This plan is part of developer Abe Atiyeh’s Farmhouse Village Major Subdivision in Hanover Township.

The development is at Jacksonville and Airport roads. The municipal dividing line between

Lehigh Township Supervisors hear Resident complaints

By LAURA KLOTZ

The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors met on Tuesday, May 9 at 7 p.m.

A representative of the Vineyard Estates project was present to discuss their request for an extension of time for plan recording. The Vineyard Estates project is a development of 17 singlefamily homes along Persimmon Road, Willow Road and Long Lane Road. The representative explained that the original model which had been submitted was denied due to a need for their drip irrigation system to be a certain depth. This has been met and

the planning module has been resubmitted to the Department of Environmental Protection. The plan was set to expire on June 14 and they asked the board for an extension until the end of the year in order to allow enough time for the DEP to send their approval.

providing a waiver from Villanova regarding the township not being liable for any damage incurred to the property as a result of the tower, and that the applicant indemnify the township for any costs incurred for equipment coming off the tower.

Next, the commission had a lengthy discussion regarding a special exception application for the construction of a medical marijuana campus on a vacant lot along Birch Drive by

the LURRS partnership, which would include medical marijuana grower/processor facilities, a medical marijuana dispensary, and a separate drive-through and/or fast-food restaurant.

Applicant Mark Leuthe is president of Lehigh Engineering Associates, which sits across from the proposed lot that Leuthe and his partners currently own.

In regard to the drive-through fast-food restaurant, Leuthe stated that the lot will sit at the furthest point away from nearby residential zoning and that he is confident they can meet all of the criteria for development, although the concept is for a generic drive-through concept with no outlined tenant at this time.

Following, Leuthe stated that one of the permitted use special exceptions allowed by zoning in the district, which the Planning Commission also approved in 2017, is for medical marijuana facilities.

Leuthe expressed that he is confident he and his partners can meet all of the township’s requirements for their proposed 3,000 square-foot dispensary and sixteen 20,000 square-foot grow/processor warehouse facilities, with each being owned by a separate user who would potentially grow and ship their product statewide.

Chairman David Shulman noted that a dispensary cannot be on the same site as a growing facility per the township’s ordi-

nance, and Leuthe maintained that they will not “technically” be on the same property because the lots will be subdivided.

Shulman also raised concerns regarding the noise of the generators that would be used for potential power outages for each building and the odor that would permeate the area due to the strong “skunky” odor that marijuana is associated with.

Leuthe assured that the noise from the generators would be under the maximum amount and that there will be precautionary measures taken to mitigate any cannabis odors because the township ordinance states that the facilities must be odorless.

Leuthe also divulged that the grower/processing facilities would accumulate the same amount of traffic as a singlefamily home, whereas the projected dispensary traffic would be 633 vehicles entering/exiting

In the Bath Area Fish Committee ad in the May 11 issue of The Home News, the Borough of Bath was listed as a donor; that was incorrect as they did not donate to the fish committee. Mayor Fiorella Mirabito (Mayor’s Fund) should have been listed instead.

Projects To Upgrade Your Backyard

Familyhandyman.com

Your backyard is your personal part of the great outdoors, and that means different things to different people. For some, a backyard is a retreat from the bustle of the world. For others, it provides the opportunity to bring the world home.

Here are some upgrades you can do this year to get things started.

Projects To Make Your Backyard More Comfortable

Plant gardens

Start your backyard makeover by establishing in-ground gardens, placing container gardens around the yard and planting trees and shrubs.

Plants and gardens subdivide your yard into specific areas, and they take a while to grow. Planting is also one of the least costly backyard projects, as long as you don’t mind doing the work.

If you want to group plants into mutually supportive companion clusters, container gardens are a good way to go. You can build containers out of wood for about $25 to $50 per square foot, or buy easy-to-assemble container kits online.

Improve drainage

If water pools in your yard or digs deep trenches as it flows from one place to another, make drainage control one of your priorities. Backfill depressions with dirt and topsoil, level uneven ground with a rake and shovel, and install French drains where standing water collects. Control drainage gives you more real estate for planting and building.

Build a shed

If you do a lot of gardening,

you’ll need a shed to store your tools and supplies. You can build a simple plywood shed with a composite roof for $16 to $22 per square foot, or purchase one and drop it onto a gravel or concrete foundation. An 8- by 10foot pre-fab workshop shed with T1-11 siding costs about $3,000.

Establish a hang-out area

The most common ways to establish permanent seating areas in your backyard are by building a patio or a deck.

A patio is easier. Excavate an area in the yard to a depth of about six inches, backfill with drain rock and tamped sand, lay concrete or stone pavers or bricks, backfill with sand and add a border. Unless you opt for high-end stone pavers, costs should range

from $4 to $10 per square foot, without labor.

For sloping or irregular terrain, a deck might be a better choice. You probably won’t need a permit if you build low enough to the ground to avoid railings. The deck materials can cost from $7 to $16 per square foot, depending on whether you use pressuretreated wood, composite, cedar or redwood.

Create some shade

Planting trees provides shade, but it takes years. If you want the shade ASAP, build a structure. It can be a pergola with a slatted open roof, or a gazebo, with a solid roof. Both projects are DIYfriendly, although a gazebo calls for more carpentry skills.

If you prefer, go the easy route

and purchase a pre-fab 10-by-10foot gazebo kit that assembles in a couple of hours.

Install a hot tub

Nothing brings more relaxation to your home than a hot tub. If you have the budget, you can build one in-ground for $6,000 to $21,000 or more. An above-ground model, on the other hand, runs $2,000 to $10,000 depending on material and size.

No hot tub is complete without decking, which you can make yourself from redwood or cedar. You’ll need a minimum of eight square feet for a hot tub. Add at least two extra feet on each side with decking.

Deliver some warmth

Your idea of a comfortable space may include warmth for chilly nights, like a fire pit. You can go the simple route and purchase a portable wood-burning or propane fire pit for around $100, then make a sitting area around it. With a little more time, money and space, you can build a permanent stone fire pit from a kit for about $600.

An outdoor fireplace is more expensive and challenging, with kits available from $3,000 to $5,000. By comparison, a fully

equipped outdoor kitchen with plumbed gas lines and electrical service runs around $13,000.

Add lights

Lighting adds a lot to any landscape. Low-voltage landscape lighting is easy to install. You place the lights and dig shallow trenches for the wires leading to the transformer, which plugs into any available exterior 120-volt receptacle.

Solar lighting is even easier, although you must place them where there’s plenty of sunlight for recharging.

Projects To Add Backyard Privacy

Build a fence

So many fencing options are available that it’s hard to establish a price range.

Wood, composite and vinyl privacy fences cost from $15 to $37 per linear foot, with wood surprisingly the cheapest material. The cost depends on height and design. If you value privacy most of all, go with a flat panel or shadowbox design at least six feet high.

Construct hanging screens Your yard may already be par-

Friends and relatives were invited to call on Monday morning from 10 to 11 a.m. at the funeral home. Interment followed in Fairview Cemetery, Moorestown.

Susan F. Villiatora

Susan F. Villiatora, 67, of Honolulu, HI, formerly of Bath, passed away on Friday, March 31, 2023 at her residence. Born on Nov. 7, 1955, in Columbus, GA, she was the daughter of Frances V. (Reilly) Butler Hickert of Richardson, TX, and the late Harry K. Butler, Jr. She was the wife of Juss Villiatora. Susan worked as an administrative assistant for the last 10 years.

Survivors: In addition to her husband Juss and mother Frances, she is survived by two daughters, Jennifer Hammons and her husband Daniel, Sarah Valdez and her husband Haven; a son, Cy Nobriga; sister, MaryLou Thomas of Nazareth; brother, Harry K. Butler, III, of Richardson, TX; and eight grandchildren.

Services were held in Hawaii with Susan's family. Burial will be held privately with her family in Sacred Heart Cemetery, Bath, Pa. Local arrangements have been entrusted to the Bartholomew Funeral Home, Bath.

the facility per day and the fastfood restaurant would generate approximately 1,599 vehicles per day, with the facilities having room for additional parking if necessary.

During public comment, resident Glenn Pereira expressed that the general sentiment of the township’s residents is that the proposed medical marijuana campus is unwanted because it will have a detrimental impact on the area.

Many residents voiced concerns regarding the facilities’ hours of operation, resources the facilities will require such as water and electricity, disposal of water and soil waste, security measures, odor, increased criminal activity, and the impact the campus would have on the welfare of residents.

One resident asked: “What’s going to prevent criminals from targeting the facility, which puts residents in jeopardy?”

Commissioner Cynthia Miller stated: “This will put a strain on our police department because there will be more DUIs.”

“Security, the welfare of children and residents, and that anyone can get a medical marijuana card are the biggest issues for me,” said commissioner Kristin Soldridge.

Shulman suggested the “application be rejected on the basis of the state statute for the dispensary and growing facility not being on the same site and the general welfare of the community not being protected by this property.”

Further, Shulman stated that if the zoning board were to grant a special exception, that they should consider odor issues, noise from generators, gates and security, the distance between the dispensary and growing facility, traffic and its effect upon Birch Drive, and adequate infrastructure for water, sewage and electricity.

Commissioners voted 4-1 in a motion to recommend the plan be rejected by the Zoning Hearing Board, with commissioner Bill Jones being the only dissenting vote.

The Zoning Hearing Board will

meet on Thursday, August 10 at 6 p.m. in the Lehigh Township Vol. Fire Co. located at 4188 Lehigh Dr. to make their determination with consideration to the Planning Commission’s recommendation where residents are encouraged to attend to provide testimony on the proposed medical marijuana campus.

The next Lehigh Township Planning Commission meeting will be held Monday, June 12 at 6 p.m.

East Allen

Continued from page 1

Hanover and East Allen Townships is mid-way through the development. While homes will be in the southwestern corner of the property in Hanover Township, their backyards will be in East

Allen Township. The northern portion of the property in East Allen Township consists mainly of detention ponds.

However, Atiyeh is asking for an emergency access road onto Hanoverville Road. The emergency access road would consist of 39 paved feet, then a gate prohibiting through traffic. The rest

of the emergency road will be used with impervious pavers.

Atiyeh’s representatives at the meeting said their client does not know what he will be developing in East Allen Township yet but insinuated that the road could potentially become a public road in the future.

“Every day is an adventure,” one representative said of working with his client.

Supervisors approved the conditional final plan, deferring curbs and sidewalks for two years.

Supervisors also approved an Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement with Northampton Borough for Sanitary Sewer Treatment & Conveyance, as well as a separate agreement with Allen Township for Sanitary Sewer Conveyance. This will allow sewage to flow from the future Northampton Area School District building on Route 329.

Supervisors also approved the purchase of an asphalt paver and trailer with Moore Township. The township received a $266,573 state LSA grant, which was used to purchase the paver from Stevenson Equipment. The trailer was purchased from Hale Trailer. Moore Township will own the trailer, while both townships will own the paver. However, East Allen will be permitted to use the trailer for hauling. A formal maintenance agreement between the two municipalities is being drafted. The total cost after the grant was $16,708.

a 24% proficiency score with the state average showing a 32.3% proficiency score and a 28% projected proficiency score for the Star assessment; Grade 7 had a 32% proficiency score with the state average showing a 27% proficiency score and a 25.4% projected proficiency score for the Star assessment; and Grade 8 had a 20% proficiency score with the state average showing a 22% proficiency score and a 27.3% projected proficiency score for the Star assessment. Therefore, NASD scored higher than state proficiency averages for Grades 3, 4, 5 and 7, and lower than state proficiency averages for Grades 6 and 8.

For science, the district received an 88% proficiency score for Grade 4 with the state average showing a 73.7% proficiency score, and a 57% proficiency score for Grade 8 with the state average showing a 51% proficien-

cy score, so both science scores were higher than state averages.

Schoeneberger noted that Grade 6 is an area of concern that needs to be addressed in the district, which may be attributed to transition issues because this is not consistent with state average scores.

Additionally, Schoeneberger noted that the district has hired an individual who has been helping teachers incorporate new strategies that promote long-term retention and that changes are being implemented at the middle school.

Northampton Middle School

Principal Michael Lopata expressed that there has been an upward trend in the Grade 6 Star assessments and that next year, the middle school will be “tweaking” the schedule so that the English and math periods will have double the instructional time. The lunch and Kid’s Team Time

periods will be shortened to 30 minutes each to allow for double instructional time for math, the writing period will be combined with the language arts period to allow for double instructional time, and the social studies, sci-

ence, and related arts periods will remain 46 minutes of instructional time each.

Following, Superintendent Kovalchik shared that the district will be voting on an update to

Ron and Helen were professors and taught in Africa for over 12 years, sharing many wonderful experiences. Their two-bedroom apartment has plenty of room to display their treasure trove of handmade goods and photos of friendships they forged. At Traditions of Hanover, the couple still has the freedom for adventures while being surrounded by a caring, vibrant community.

Lehigh Twp. Supervisors

Continued from page 1

The representative promised to return to the board for the plan recording as soon as the approval is received; the board agreed to the extension.

Wayne Doyle, design engineer for the township municipal authority’s land development plan, was present along with Carl Sharpe of the authority. Their plan was set to expire on May 14, and they requested that the board approve it before that could happen. The board approved the plan itself as well as six waiver requests and one deferral request from the authority.

Township Engineer Michael Muffley reported that construction continues on the Northwoods project. The water lines are currently being installed.

Sandra Hopkins of the recreation board thanked everyone who assisted with the refreshment stand for the game on May 8. The board will be sponsoring an inoculation clinic for pets, providing inexpensive rabies and distemper shots, at the municipal building on Saturday, June 17 from 9 a.m to 1 p.m.

Frank Zamadics of the public works department said that street sweeping is nearly completed. He also noted that the summer help

has started and they are doing an excellent job.

Elizabeth Amato of the zoning board reported that 29 permits were issued in April, and Lloyd Grim has been granted permission to add auto sales to his existing business. A pair of advisory issues will be addressed at their June meetings. The representative for a medical marijuana campus, which has been proposed to be established near the Hills at Greenock, will not be available to attend a zoning meeting until August.

Police Chief Scott Fogel noted the department is getting ready for National Night Out on August 1 at Indian Trail Park. Their new records management system will be implemented in the coming weeks. He noted the department is currently short-handed due to two personnel being out on medical leave, and may also have two officers retiring in the next few years. He asked the board for permission to start drafting a list of potential candidates who could eventually be interviewed to possibly fill the coming vacancies, though he stressed that the department is not looking to hire at this time. The board approved his request.

Carl Sharpe of the municipal authority stated that they are inspecting the water lines and testing the water quality at the Northwoods project.

Vice-chairman Cynthia Miller, in response to some audience in-

quiries about the possible medical marijuana campus, provided a detailed timeline of events. She explained that this has been in the works for several years, and the planning commission has discussed it extensively. She will be bringing some ordinance amendments to the board for their approval, but she strongly urged the board to use Covid relief money to hire a consultant to help the ad hoc committee review the zoning ordinances and close any loopholes. It was agreed that this will be added to the agenda for the next meeting in order to discuss it in detail, and Miller also suggested that board members attend an ad hoc committee meeting to see how the ordinance review process is done.

Fire Commissioner Richard Hildebrand recommended the board start a plan now for replacing another company truck, which will need to be done in about five years. He also proposed that the fire company provide the board with quarterly reports rather than monthly, to which they agreed.

Township Manager Alice Rehrig reported that the bills for the Cherryville intersection project have been paid. She still needs one piece of documentation corrected, but everything else has been submitted. Bids for the maintenance building project are due by May 18; the architect will review the bids and bring a recommendation to the board at the next meeting.

When the floor opened up for public comment, several residents of the Overlook Drive neighborhood came forward with a complaint about a new neighbor who is using their property for business instead of merely residential, creating difficulties for the neighborhood with regard to traffic, security and noise. They expressed there have also been trespassing issues, with people using private driveways for parking, and also with the neighbor in question allowing their dog to roam; the police were called on one occasion because the dog knocked over a resident’s toddler. They brought photographic evidence of retaliatory actions the neighbor had taken, and offered video evidence as well.

“We love our neighborhood,” said one resident, “but this is a serious matter.” Miller said that they have received complaints not just from those living on Overlook Drive but from nearby streets as well, so this is a growing concern for many and some citations have already been issued. Chief Fogel assured the residents that he had taken “a fistful of notes” and would be personally looking into the situation.

The board then adjourned for an executive session to discuss personnel matters.

The next supervisors meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 23 at 7 p.m. in the municipal building at 1069 Municipal Rd., Walnutport.

Natural Perspectives

WARM WEATHER GEAR IS HERE! Farmacy

For the healthMinded individual

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

When exactly did we forget that cleanly living off what the earth naturally provides will keep us healthy? Perhaps such an assertion sounds too far-fetched in some circles yet utilizing the lost art of common sense we all innately know this truth. I have this inner sense that if we humans would just get out of the way all would work itself out better, much better, than the plans of us mice and men.

Increasingly, we are seeing the squeezing of our healthy food supply chain as we are all being ushered into corporate frankenfood creations that keep us sick.

Anyone else have a Little Debbie today? While nobody seems to be investigating, chicken farms are going up in flames. Anyone heard about the government shaking down the Lancaster farmer? Internationally, there is a war against farmers. Canadian farmers and truckers have had enough. The situation is not dire, yet you would have to have your head stuck in the sand not to see that trouble is ahead.

Food and beverage are no longer to be taken for granted. If you wanted to get rid of GMO products laden with pesticides, plastics, sugars, carcinogenic tidbits in all categories such as aspartame, preservatives, dyes, binders and all the rest, you would be increasingly hard pressed to do so.

The food you eat, the water you drink, the air you breathe, are all contributing to disease and despair. Think I am mistaken?

You know I am not. You’re just unwilling to believe that this is where we find ourselves. I am in disbelief myself and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Or is there…?

Because we find ourselves in a deplorable state of health collectively as a nation, perhaps we should rethink what we have been promoting the last few decades and do the opposite.

I have been giving much thought to the statement that “food will be your medicine or medicine will be your food.” Nobody can argue that vast amounts of drugs are consumed daily like food-three times per day. Drugs have become a dining experience here in America. Something is very wrong. It’s simply not working out the way it was all promised in the brochure.

The line at the pharmacy is long both inside the store and of course, the drug-through (sorry I meant drive-through) is always busy.

School Board

Continued from page 7

the current high school policy for students that do not meet minimum passing scores. Currently, the minimum passing grade is 55% for students, which was lowered from 65% during the Covid-19 pandemic. Included in that percentage are the final exam weighted total of 12% of a students’ grade, with each of the four marking periods accounting for 22% of the weighted total. However, the proposed change would make the final exam worth 8% of the weighted total and each marking period worth 23% of the weighted total, which more accu-

rately displays a student’s progress over the course of each marking period rather than placing so much weight on one final exam.

Additionally, students that are below passing will also have a onetime chance per year for all classes during marking periods one through three to pull their grades up to the 55% minimum passing grade upon signing a remediation contract and completing all necessary assignments outlined by their teachers during a two-week period.

Approximately 400 students would have benefited from this opportunity this year, with the majority of those students being in Grade 9.

“The proposed remediation

contracts will help give students a second chance to raise their level of learning,” said Kovalchik. School board directors will be able to vote on implementing the proposed remediation contracts in the high school manual for the upcoming school year during the next Northampton School Board meeting on Monday, June 12 at 6:30 p.m. in the Northampton Area High School auditorium, located at 1619 Laubach Ave.

All other regular agenda items were approved by board members unanimously. A copy of the detailed agenda can be found on the district website for further review.

tially isolated by foliage, and you may just need to cover some areas with screens to get full privacy.

A simple way to do this: Extend a cable from tree branches or poles set in concrete and hang inexpensive fabric screens. You can also hang the screen from a 2×4 header set on posts. You

probably can cover a 10-foot opening for less than $200.

Plant trees or shrubs

Vegetation establishes privacy in an organic way. But even fastgrowing varieties take years to mature, so take on this project with an eye toward the future.

Most common privacy trees are hardy in most USDA Plant Hardiness Zones, including Leyland Cypress, Thuja Green Giant and Emerald Green Arborvitae. Hydrangea, lilac and yew are popular shrubs that can provide privacy in a year or two.

Continued from page 10

Thinking upon this debacle recently was when the pharmacy/ farmacy/farm-a-sea thoughts danced across my psyche. Just the play on words alone really is powerful isn’t it? I think so, and ruminating on this it is clear that real food, from our lands and seas, holds the answers to 90% of your health problems. The other 10% you are on your own.

The problem with sticking to filling a farmacy prescription is that not all farmacies are the same. Furthermore, all naturaltype foods, whether they be fruit, vegetables, meats from the land or products of the sea, can all be straight up great for you, okay, or simply terrible for health. It takes a lot of due diligence to figure out food consumption these days.

It should not be this hard.

I earnestly wish I had a solution. Alas, I do not. However, I do believe that the answer is rooted in our local farmacy. When more of us understand this, I believe we can eat our way out of poor health. My best to you.

Area settlement To celebrate 295th Anniversary

Submitted by PEGGY

SPENGLER-MOSER

This year marks the 295th anniversary of Craig’s Scotch-Irish Settlement. The founders settled the towns of Bath and Northampton, along with Allen and East Allen Township. Most are buried in Horner’s Cemetery.

As the Horner’s Cemetery Historical Society prepares for the festival, we are asking the public if they would like to help plan the anniversary celebration which will be held on Saturday, September 9. Admission will be free.

This community festival will offer volunteer opportunities for everyone who wants to help with a short term project.

Can you volunteer for three onsite planning meetings, once a month for three months? We need help signing people in, handing out surveys after the cemetery tours, serving snacks and water, and helping set up and take down tables.

If you would rather volunteer behind the scenes, we could use help with advertising with posters, letters, phone calls and newspaper articles. Or, can you cut grass or weed whack once every other month?

For more information or to volunteer, please call Peggy at 610984-4532.
