This plaque, which can be viewed at the Atlas Cement Memorial Museum, lists the early U.S. cement plants. In our years of cement research, we met Mr. Daniel Fritz when he was senior vice president for Lehigh Heidelberg, now Lehigh Hanson. He had just returned from San Ramon, Calif., where he was president of the west region. Dan managed 75 aggregate and cement facilities. A University of Massachusetts and Harvard University graduate, he earned civil engineering and business degrees. His cement and construction journey of 40 years has taken him to Asia, Florida, South Carolina and Georgia, with leadership positions at Cimentos, N.A., Polysius, Lehigh Heidelberg and Willis & Paul Group.

A few other parents joined in voicing their concerns about the topic. “I am not racist, but I don’t want CRT or trans information in schools,” said one father. Linda G. Stubits, a board member, agreed that there should be more oversight and that the parent’s concerns should be addressed. The next school board meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 24 at 7 p.m.

Sons of Veterans to Visit local Churches and Cemeteries

Submitted by PEGGY MOSER Do you know which war the Sons of Veterans were formed for? How did they start? What do they do? The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War was a congressionally chartered fraternal organization that carried out activities to preserve the history and legacy of the veterans who fought in the Civil War. It is the legal successor to the Grand Army of the Republic, the large and influential grouping of Union Army veterans that existed in the decades following the Civil War. Most activities occurred at the "Camp" at the local community level. In our area, in 1910, local men formed the Theodore H. Howell Camp No. 48 Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. Camp No. 48 has changed over the years. They are all vol-

Natural Perspectives

For the healthMinded individual Is Blood Sugar Important?

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

Do you know what your blood sugar level is at this exact moment? I ask because this could truly be a life and death situation here. If you think I say this flippantly, you would be mistaken. Allow me to explain. We are aware diabetes is a disruption of normal glucose (sugar) circulating in the blood for one reason or another. Sustained elevated levels over time essentially burn out glands, organs, and tissues to the point the body struggles to thrive. Very upsetting. The American Diabetes Association released statistics that state some 37 million Americans have

diabetes. The ADA also released stats that in 2019, some 282,000 deaths had a diabetic complication or involvement. Now getting back to my question: Do you know what your blood sugar is right now? Go check, I will wait… While you do, let’s talk about what normal blood glucose levels are. Depending on your age, the normal accepted levels will vary. For our discussion, I want to speak to adults who are going about a normal day eating and drinking as they see fit. For these individuals, I would like to see less than 140 mg/DL. Candidly, even that is a little too elevated from my perspective but what do I know. Presently mine is 109 and is about two hours after breakfast (which was a blender smoothie concoction of fresh sliced fruit, vegetable powders, and frozen blueberries). Additionally, I had 12 ounces of fresh pressed celery juice. I will share that when my blood sugars hover around 103105 I feel my body getting leaner and I feel strong. There are times when my diet is not as good as I would like, and I have been in the 130s and usually don’t feel all that great. I try to make my elevated blood sugars an exception, not the rule, day in and out. If you are reading this today and you have levels over 300, please take action immediately. Time is of the essence as the longer that excess glucose circulates, Continued on page 5

Bath Borough Authority to upgrade water main on Broad Street The Bath Borough Authority will replace approximately 1100 feet of existing 6-inch cast iron water main with new 8-inch ductile iron Main. The project will include new service line taps, new curb valves and new service lines. The project will include the replacement of an existing fire hydrant and adding a new one. This will reduce operational costs and the increase in line size may also improve fire flows to the fire hydrants in the area. In August 2020, Bath Borough Authority was approved by the Commonwealth Financing Authority for a grant in the amount of $224,825 for the replacement of the water main and service laterals, work is scheduled to begin on or around June 6, 2022. The new main and service laterals will be installed from Main Street to Penn Street. The Authority is asking all residents and businesses in the area for their cooperation with parking restrictions and traffic patterns at different times during the construction period. There will be periods of service interruptions during the construction. The Authority plans to provide advanced notification to customers before any necessary service interruption to switch customers from the old water main to the new one.

Customers may call the Bath Borough Authority Office at 610-837-0652 with questions.

East Allen Supervisors vote On Airport Road Commercial Park agreements

By SAVANNAH BROWN The East Allen supervisors began their May 11 meeting with the discussion of two Airport Road agenda items. The first item was a recommendation to execute nine various agreements for the Airport Road Commercial Park.

Township Solicitor Joseph Piperato stated that the agreements are finally in appropriate form after months of deliberation and identified that the first four agreements were typical agreements for all developments, including the Subdivision & Land Development Agreement, the Developmental Security Agreement, the Land Development Maintenance and Guaranty Agreement, and the Stormwater Operations & Maintenance Agreement. Due to this project involving additional real estate that was not owned by the applicant, the applicant was required to be a party to a number of additional agreements. Therefore, Piperato addressed that the Construction, Maintenance and Access Easement agreement was created to permit owners of the Zumas property in the event that they were somehow disconnected to the community septic system to be able to install a septic system on the applicant’s property. The Community On-Lot Sewage Management Agreement stipulated that there would always be a licensed and appropriate company that would maintain the sewage system and do the appropriate reporting to work with the township, and the Replacement Septic System Agreement, which outlined the access and easement agreement with the Zumas property and East Allen Township in the event that it is necessary for the township to access the property for any action that the applicant fails to do. The Maintenance Agreement for Sidewalks and Street Lights imposes the obligation for the owner of the property for both items in perpetuity, and the Downstream Property Owners Affidavit holds the township

harmless for any damages caused by stormwater. The nine agreements presented were approved by the board unanimously. The next agenda item was the recommendation to extend the developer’s improvement period for Airport Road Lot 1 and board members approved a 60-day extension for developers to coordinate mark ups that need to be addressed. In response to last meeting’s issue with the truck parking on Silver Crest Road, Township Engineer James Milot identified that he pulled the plans for Trader Joe’s and some of the existing aerial work. Milot stated that he will be coordinating with Piperato about delineation of queuing area for the trucks on the property in the plan. Milot added that he did not check the conditional approval yet but is looking into what the plan outlined as the truck courtyard area. Township Manager Brent Green reported the FRCA requested the use of the township’s municipal building basement to store records at a rate of $200 per month for the downstairs storage area, which was approved unanimously. East Allen EMS President Joe Light reported that April was a slow month with 12 ALS calls, 14 DLS, three fire calls and four refusals. There were 44 transports of the total 68 dispatches. Light stated that the company is doing “pretty well” financially with a net profit of $73,000. Light announced that East Allen EMS will be holding a community yard sale event and a possible coin toss as fundraising Continued on page 7

Allen Township Supervisors Discuss formation of ad hoc Committee for Howertown Park By SAVANNAH BROWN At the May 10 supervisors meeting, the Northampton Regional EMS Executive Director requested if the township workers could cut the grass on their corner property at the fire station. The director added they had a tractor that broke down and previously had a company that did this; however, the price has since gone up. Supervisors unanimously approved the township to cut this 2/3 acre of land for Northampton Regional EMS. Two residents emailed their public comments to Township Manager Illene Eckhart to be read at the meeting regarding the tractor trailer traffic on Willowbrook Road. One resident stated the trucks are often forced to turn left from W. Bullshead Road onto Willowbrook Road because they cannot make the right-hand turn over the Catasauqua Creek Bridge. The resident stated that as a result, the trucks are stopping on the shoulder between McNair Drive and Walker Drive, causing problems with traffic and increasing the number of trucks that use this route as a turnaround. The resident stated this ongoing issue appears to be getting worse and is problematic to the residential areas and streets that are not designed to have this kind of traffic. Another resident emailed Eckhart regarding the Northampton Generating Co. truck traffic on Seemsville Road and Kreidersville Road. The resident noted that 80 to 90% of the trucks on these roads are operating correctly, but the remaining 10 to 20% are creating an excessive amount of noise by using their Jake Brakes. The resident suggested the company should have a safety and equipment standard for all vehicles, which could be checked upon entry of the contracted trucks to the plant. Eckhart reported the First Regional Compost Authority received their second DEP grant

of $350,000. FRCA is considering how they want to spread this money across the major purchase of a replacement grinder and some containers. Additionally, per their policy change this season, they will be accepting grass clippings at $1 per container. However, the authority requests residents avoid using compostable containers to reduce the garbage in the yard waste material. If residents bring a compostable bag, they must take it home with them. Next, Eckhart expressed that she followed up with the youth association; the estimates they obtained prior to the last board meeting were compared to a vendor previously used. The General Recreation vendor provided a quote of $6,624 for the replacement of the batting tunnel and net “cage” for a proposed area of 70’ by 21’, which does not include labor or installation. Eckhart brought up the water issue where the batting tunnel currently sits due to the flood plain skirting through that area. Vice Chairman Gary Behler voiced his concern that if the net is constantly in water in the spot where it is now, it will deteriorate over time. Behler also addressed that placing sandbags underneath the fence would be beneficial to prevent balls from going underneath the fence, while also being easily removable for grass mowing and maintenance purposes. Supervisor Paul Link stated the township should also look into getting pads for the top part of the fence, and Eckhart stated that she would include the pads and get bids for both regular and black chain link fencing. The item was tabled for further discussion. At last month’s supervisors meeting, the formation of an ad hoc committee was approved for the purpose of Howertown Park, consisting of two supervisors, two or three members of the Bath Allen Youth Club, two or

three members of tri-boro, and two or three members from the community. The supervisors who volunteered to be on the committee were Gary Behler and Paul Link. Manager Eckhart stated she will need to know whether the board would prefer to appoint five, seven, or nine members in order to draft an ordinance with Township Solicitor B. Lincoln Treadwell, Jr. She also recommended the committee members’ functions and obligations be outlined in the ordinance. Treadwell suggested trying out the ad hoc committee before creating an official recreation board, so that members can see how it works and what the best outcome would be. The board decided to stick with an ad hoc committee for now, with the intention of expanding coverage to all parks in the township in the future. In other business, board members unanimously approved the authorization of the annual Memorial Day Procession Fire Police at Zion State Church. Under public comments, a resident voiced their concern regarding speeding and reckless driving on W. Bullshead Road. The resident asked, “If there’s nothing we can do at this level, is there somewhere I can go to about this?” Behler stated this concern would need to be brought up to the state police, but the resident expressed that the state police said they would not come out to the area because there is nowhere they can pull drivers over safely on the road. Eckhart said she would formally ask the state police about this issue and Engineer Martin said she would look into traffic calming measures for the road. Link suggested a solar powered speed limit sign on the road. Eckhart said she would look into pricing for the sign and Martin said she would look into possible grants the township could apply for to cover the cost, or a portion of it. The next Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be held Tuesday, May 24 at 7 p.m. in the Allen Township Fire Company Building, located at 3530 Howertown Rd.

opportunities. He also addressed that they have a staffing shortage and have not had an application in months, but they will be doing ride-alongs with Moravian University, which will hopefully turn into future applications. Open Space and Farmland Preservation reported they are having issues with people taking down the Open Space Plan signs, which residents are having to replace. During correspondence, super-

visors addressed the Notification of Final Report from PA DEP 6955 Chrisphalt Dr., Bath, which has been posted on the website. Green stated that the remediation project will have a finalized report on their central transport from 2018 due to testing issues and the DEP will respond within 60-days of their report. The property owner was fined and willingly working with DEP, and Green said that adjacent property

NORTHAMPTON AREA Northampton School Board hears NCC budget Presentation, approves new hires, prohibits resident

New personnel hires from left to right: Michael Lopata – Middle School Principal, Joseph Provini – Head Wrestling Coach, Angela Borealo – High School Assistant Principal, Jamison Barnhart – High School Assistant Principal, Joseph Kovalchik – NASD Superintendent, Billie Fruit – Network Administrator and Douglas Sherman – Northampton Borough Elementary School Principal.

By SAVANNAH BROWN The Northampton School Board met Monday, May 9 in the Northampton Area High School auditorium with a lengthy agenda and many concerns from residents. The first item on the agenda was the Northampton Community College’s budget presentation by Dr. Mark H. Erikson. NCC is the region’s largest and most diverse college with more than 20,000 students and 142 degree and certificate programs. On average, one out of every four

Northampton County students attends NCC, and their annual tuition cost is $4,890 for fulltime students. In fall 2021, the Northampton Area School District had 663 students enroll in NCC with 34% of those being full-time students, 61% being female students, and 23% of those enrollments were minority students. Dr. Erikson presented that it has been a challenging two years for NCC, which saw a double digit decline in fall enrollment, with an uptick in winter, and a

rebound in the spring. While noting that federal stimulus funds have been helpful, Erikson stated that NCC has put together an aggressive two-year plan to reduce costs while maintaining quality. However, Erikson added that NCC fully expects their enrollment numbers to bounce back to pre-pandemic levels soon. The community college is excited to work with NASD to expand dual enrollment opportunities, and to provide life changing opportunities for their new graduates and district residents of all ages. Overall, Erikson expressed the Northampton proposed sponsor increase total for the 2022-2023 school year will be $28,279, which will be a 3.28% increase for the district budget. During public comment on agenda items, several residents voiced their concerns regarding the banning of Gerald Bretzik from all future 2022 board meetings after his disruption of the April Northampton School Board meeting, stating their disagreement with the board for their “selective targeting” and “unfair” infringement on the public’s rights to free speech. Resident Gerald Bretzik was

asked to leave the premises prior to the start of this month’s meeting after being escorted out by security at last month’s school board meeting for shouting obscenities and threatening President Chuss during the meeting’s public comment. One resident stated, “I don’t believe in banning people for speaking up,” and other residents implored the board to “rethink” banning Gerald Bretzik from attending future meetings. Residents also addressed their issues with the board’s current operation of removing or deleting the livestreaming of board meetings 24 hours after they are held. They explained that this policy prohibits many residents from being able to view the meeting due to exigent circumstances such as their work and home life, which prevents them from being able to attend the meeting. Residents stated that leaving the livestream up for 24 hours is not enough time for many individuals to watch the meeting and requested that the board revise the policy on when they remove the livestream to allow more time for individuals to watch the event online.

NASD Superintendent Joseph Kovalchik identified that the livestreaming policy is a local decision regarding when the livestreams are deleted. Additionally, he stated that the policy committee that develops the drafts presented to the board meets publicly once a month and that the drafts are “out there for a couple months before the final decision is actually made by the full board.” Kovalchik also added that the next public policy meeting with be held Wednesday, May 18 at 10 a.m. in the District Office. Board member Doug Vaughn moved to make a motion to add a nonbinding resolution to the agenda regarding Moore Elementary. Vaughn proposed the board members vote on whether NASD should invest in repairing Moore Elementary School with the intention of keeping Moore Elementary School open indefinitely. Vaughn added, “I’m simply asking the board to give their opinion to the public.” There was debate from other board members regarding whether the motion was in compliance with the Sunshine Act requiring agenda items to be presented at least 24 hours in advance. Vaughn’s motion was moved to table the discussion until the next Northampton School Board meeting under the Old Business section of the agenda. Vaughn expressed his disappointment in board members and their lack of transparency on the subject, which residents appeared to agree with. Board member Kim Bretzik also brought up how her husband, Gerald Bretzik, has been criminally charged with two misdemeanors punishable by up to one year in prison and a $2,000 fine, which she said sends a message to the public: “Don’t get up. Don’t misspeak at the podium,” Bretzik said. “But the fact is, we can’t ban someone from a public meeting for prior restraint. We can’t ban them because we are afraid that they are going to do something. We also can’t censor speech just Continued on page 9

because we don’t like it,” said Bretzik. She added that the Supreme Court recently ruled that public speech restrictions in public school board meetings as unconstitutional. Bretzik stated, “When we cut people off from speaking at the podium, we exacerbate the divide that we have heard about here between parents and the school.” Next on the agenda, board members voted on various resignations, leave of absences, staff transfers, additions and deletions to the Substitute List, and a revised Master District Volunteer List for the district. Board members approved all items (A-K) under the New Business Personnel/ Voice Vote unanimously. The resignation of Renee Sallit from the position of Principal of the Borough Elementary Schools, effective at the end of the day on June 30, was met with regret from board members.

The Skinny on Long Term Care

Insurance is a part of living. It’s a state mandate to have automobile insurance if you own a car. We all want to protect our home in the unlikely event that it is damaged or destroyed. Some of us even insure our pets. And yet, the likelihood of us needing automobile, home insurance and pet insurance protection is far less than the need for us to insure our future long term care. Long term care is the need for assisted living or nursing home care when living at home is no longer an option because of your health. Health insurance does not cover long term care housing. And if you have any doubts about whether or not you will need it, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that 70% of people over the age of 65 can expect to use long term care during their lives. Currently, the average cost of a year’s care in a nursing home in Lehigh Valley, PA is $156,000 or $13,000 per month. So the question is how do you plan for paying for long term care when you need it? There are basically three ways you can pay for long term care:

1 You can self-insure. This means you will use the assets, savings and income you have. And if you deplete your financial resources, you can apply for Medicaid which is a government-funded program reserved for people with very limited financial resources. It is important to know that if Medicaid is paying for your long term care, it is Medicaid that will make decisions about your care and where you will be able to move to receive the care you need. If you do nothing to plan for your long term care needs then this is the option you have selected.

2 You can purchase a long term care insurance policy to subsidize the cost of your long term care. This will help you reduce your out of pocket expenses. And if you purchase it while you are young, the payments for it will be a lot less than if you wait until you are older. Long term care insurance is most commonly sold by

insurance companies, and it is not part of the health insurance plan you have. Here’s how it works…you pay the insurance company each year, either monthly or annually, for a financial benefit amount that will be used to subsidize your long term care costs. When you need long term care, the daily benefit amount is paid out by the insurance company to help cover some of the costs you’ll incur. With long term care policy premiums going up recently, and fewer companies offering long term care insurance, the number of people that have it is reducing. It is estimated that fewer than 5% of people have long-term care insurance. That means the large majority of people don’t have a financial plan for their long term care needs. One other key fact is that even if you have long term care insurance, it is just one part of having a plan. Because your long term care policy is sold by insurance companies, you still will have to have someone make decisions about your care and where you will be able to move to get the care you need.

3 You can move to a Life Plan Community that offers a Life Care Plan. There are only a handful of communities that offer a Life Care Plan so most people don’t know what it is. A Life Care Plan can only be offered by a Life Plan Community that has health care services and accommodations at the community for residents who live there. In comparison to long term care insurance, a Life Care Plan covers long term care accommodations at 100% of the cost. Morningstar Living’s Moravian Hall Square and Heritage Village, both in Nazareth, PA, are two that offer Life Care Plans. Unlike long term care insurance that is sold through insurance companies, the benefit amount at a Life Care Community is not capped or limited. That means whatever the assisted living or long term nursing home costs are, the cost is covered in full. A Life Care Plan provides “peace of mind” knowing you are in control of your future. Not only are you financially covered for the care you may need, but you can select the community and lifestyle you want. And that removes the burden of your care decisions from your children, who have busy lives of their own. Studies have found that people who live in Life Plan Communities live longer, healthier and more vibrantly than those who don’t. Why? Because whole life wellness programs are included for you that keep you socially connected and engaged with other people, physically active, and emotionally and mentally supported and healthy.

Linda and Richard Solliday Residents at Morningstar Living’s Heritage Village

“We moved to a 55+ Community in the Lehigh Valley and lived there for a few years. And when we were in our 60’s, we moved to a Life Plan Community. Many of our friends and family thought we were crazy to move again. But after living in the 55+ community we quickly realized we still didn’t have a plan for our future care. The Life Plan Community where we live now offers an amazing lifestyle that is filled with recreation, fitness, dining, entertainment and continuing education on site. But the real reason we moved to Heritage Village in Nazareth is because we didn’t have long term care insurance and were concerned about long term care costs that would deplete the assets and savings we worked hard to accumulate.

We have a Life Care Plan now that is preserving and protecting our assets and savings, and we’re enjoying the best lifestyle we’ve ever had. And the truth is, if we had waited until one of us needed long term care, we wouldn’t be able to experience the kind of lifestyle we have now.”

NAZARETH AREA ‘A Night on Broadway’ Comes to Nazareth By KERI LINDENMUTH Broadway is quite the distance from the Borough of Nazareth. But for a special two nights in April and May, the melodies of some of Broadway’s greatest love songs filled the Nazareth Center for the Arts. “A Night on Broadway…with Love” was the center’s debut original stage production. Originally slated to be a one-night-only performance on April 30, audience demand led to a sold-out crowd and a second performance on May 7. Directed by Paul Gerber, the production featured a medley of old and new Broadway hits sung by five local performers. The cast included Gerber, who has over 40 years of theater experience; Julia Urich, who is a familiar face for audiences of Muhlenberg Summer Theatre and MunOpCo; Emma Fliszar, a musical theatre freshman at DeSales University; Heather LaBelle, a graduate of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy and current nurse practitioner; and Hans Howk, a Nazareth resident marking his theatrical debut. Gerber described his fellow castmates as “the perfect dream.” Despite the variety of experience amongst the cast, it was hard for audiences to tell who was the seasoned professional and who was marking their debut. All of the performers sang their numbers with confidence and a smile. More than 20 love-themed songs were performed, including familiar favorites from classics like “Rent,” “Wicked” and “Miss

Saigon” and new numbers from hit shows like “Six,” “The Greatest Showman” and “Waitress.” The performers sang of romantic love, love for home, love for family, and self-love. “Seasons of Love” fittingly opened the show, allowing the voices of the cast to blend beautifully and powerfully. Other highlights included Six’s “Heart of Stone,” performed by the women of the cast, and “The Proposal/ The Night was Alive” from Titanic, performed by Howk and Gerber. All members of the cast had the chance to shine. Fliszar had the voice of a Disney princess in her performance of “Part of Your World,” while Howk was able to capture the rock style of Roger from “Rent” in his take on “Your Eyes.” Gerber’s strong voice boomed through the theater during his performances of “If I Can’t Love Her” and “Anthem,” while LaBelle’s clear voice floated during “On My Own.” Urich closed the show with a resounding performance of “This Is Me,” bringing tears to the audience as she sang the anthem to her young nieces. Gerber says this will not be the last “Night on Broadway.” Later this year, the center will put on a horror-themed production featuring songs from some of Broadway’s spookiest musicals. The center is also looking to restage “Twelve Angry Jurors.” The play was scheduled for January, but COVID-19 postponed the production. Locals interested in audition-

ing for future productions, or participating in other events held by the center, are encouraged to email nazaretharts@gmail.com. The center is looking for musicians, artists, comedians, actors, dancers and poets.
