Looking by Back Ed Pany Public Education Part Two Today we continue to look back at early local education using the research found in the pamphlet by my friend Larry Oberly, “Schools of Allen.”

With the passage of the Common School Act of 1834, every township, borough and city were required to create a school district. The state of Pennsylvania created a Department of Education and a State of Superintendent.

In those days schools were run by a county school board who hired a county superintendent of schools. The county board decided the issues of teacher salaries, set grade levels, assigned students to buildings and bought textbooks.

The first county superintendent was Valentine Hillburn of Lower Saucon Township. Locally, three different academies provided secondary education.

The Allen Township Academy of 1783 would become the Wolf Academy in honor of the Governor, George Wolf.

Vanderver Academy was founded in 1819 and the Weaversville Academy was built in 1856. All provided many opportunities for secondary education.

During the Civil War, schools suffered as funding was cut in order to support the war effort. Women replaced male staff members so that the men

could go off and fight the war.

Some members of the public feared the children would be “feminized.”

Members of the school boards conducted examinations of the students. In many, the test results were equal to or greater than newer, largergraded schools of the cities.

High schools were not established by the law. High schools came into being first in cities or boroughs with multiple wards.

Allen Township School District built the Brooklyn School in 1886. The school became part of the Borough of Alliance in 1902, the present Borough of Northampton.

In 1903, changes in the law allowed students living in a district without a high school to attend high school in another district with tuition paid by the sending district. Allen Township students selected either Coplay High School or Northampton High School. Bath students attended Northampton, Nazareth and some old timers attended high school in Bethlehem.

Some of the older residents recall their days at Coplay High School. The last Allen Township students graduated from Coplay High School in 1960.

The old Coplay High School is the present municipal building in the Borough of Coplay.

the ‘Friday night’ feel and have live entertainment too.”

The Bath Farmers’ Market was started in 2008 as a project “under the umbrella of the Bath Business and Community Partnership,” which aimed to “help breathe new life into downtown Bath, strengthen the local economy, give local farmers a venue to sell their produce and provide consumers with the opportunity to ‘buy fresh, buy local’,” according to the official website.

The market — hosted every Friday from 3 to 7 p.m. at Keystone Park between late May and September — saw the addition of four new vendors for the 2018

season: Banter’s Hard Cider, Sweets N Savories, Foothill Farm and Faber Liquors.

Next week, the market aims to bring some local flavor to the event with the addition of music from pop rocker — and Bath native — Bobby Siegfried.

“Now on a Friday night, there’s something for all ages,” Fulton added. “You can come down and get an adult beverage and something to eat, enjoy live entertainment too.”

Fulton wasn’t the only one excited about the market.

“It’s exciting to be a part of the community here in Bath,” said Steve Brancato, owner and operator of Banter’s Hard Cider, one of the new vendors for the season.

Armed with a tap of the brewery’s signature cider — aptly dubbed “Overcast” — Brancato

hoped to make his way down Route 33 to introduce himself and his creation to a new crowd.

“We have a taproom in downtown Stroudsburg, which is where we’re located,” he said. “Bath is a really nice gateway to the Lehigh Valley, so we’re excited to be part of the community here through the market.”

Even the littlest patrons got enjoyment from the vendors at the market — just follow the lead of one of Bath’s littlest residents, Zoe McGouldrick.

Parked at a table with her mother, three-year-old McGouldrick was beyond content sipping on freshly squeezed lemonade and snacking on popcorn.

“She wanted to check out the jewelry vendor,” said Zoe’s mom, Bath resident Melinda McGouldrick. “And besides, you definitely can’t miss the first day.”

Allen Township Planning Commission Discusses zoning map changes

By KERI LINDENMUTH The Allen Township Planning Commission discussed several proposed changes to the township’s official zoning map. The biggest point of discussion was whether or not the land where the proposed Jaindl warehouse development will be built should change from industrial commercial to rural. Township solicitor B. Lincoln Treadwell, Jr. warned against such a change.

Jaindl has already made a proposal for the property as it is currently zoned, he said. To change the zoning would open it up for appeal. If the appeal is upheld, then the proposed warehouse would become “nonconforming.”

“I cannot tell you what the ramifications of that are,” said Treadwell.

Treadwell warned that the warehouse could potentially get bigger if it becomes “nonconforming.”

“The problems will be greater if

we change it than if we leave it,” agreed Eugene Clater, planning commission chairman.

As a result, the commission motioned to recommend to the Board of Supervisors that the zone be kept industrial commercial. However, if the warehouse does not go through, something commissioners forewarned was “slim,” the commission can change the zone to rural at a later date.

Other changes include the zon-

ing of a former township quarry and its frontage on Savage Road.

Part of the zone, to the old Atlas Road, will be changed from industrial to neighborhood commercial. The rest of the area will be changed to residential.

In addition to such zoning map changes, the planning commission also motioned to recommend supervisors adopt ordinances that eliminate single family cluster development and increase the minimum lot size from one acre to two. A public hearing will be held on June 12.

Five successful Entrepreneur Traits I work with and meet entrepreneurs on a weekly basis. I watch, I listen, I observe and always look for that magic bullet that makes them and their service or product successful. When a popcorn guy moved into town, I knew immediately he would be a success. He has a fabulous, delicious product and he has an irresistible personality. Then there is the dress shop, filled with beautiful items.

The owner has charisma and is willing to take any risk necessary to drive people into her store. She also dresses the way she wants you to dress. Another example of real success is the furniture store that moved into town. The owners are marketing geniuses, friendly and willing to say, “yes” to most ideas.

Well, Barbara Corcoran, one of the sharks on “Shark Tank” says she knows five traits that make entrepreneurs successful: 1. They know themselves.

Corcoran says that successful entrepreneurs are highly attuned to what makes them unique and they channel their energy into developing that expertise.

2. They understand that persistence is everything.

In her experience, Corcoran says that successful entrepreneurs are resourceful, have an ability to navigate around obstacles thrown in their path and have a competitive spirit.

3. They are not afraid of uncertainty.

Successful entrepreneurs don’t lose interest when the novelty begins to wear off. They don’t run at the first sign of trouble. “They are not afraid of being at risk.”

4. They remember that business isn’t about fairness.

Corcoran says a sure sign of a successful entrepreneur is how

Even if they are dealt a bad turn, the mentality is always about moving forward. “There is a missing gene in all my good entrepreneurs -- they never blame anybody for anything. They’ll take responsibility 150 percent of the time.”

5. They jump at opportunity.

So what is Corcoran’s top tip for aspiring entrepreneurs who want to start their first business but may be on the fence? “Go and do it right away,” she says.

“Do it immediately, before you have three kids and a mortgage.

Life gets in the way. And while you’re analyzing something, someone else is running away with the cheese.”

Overall, I guess there is no magic bullet, but there is one fine line that runs through the personality of a successful entrepreneur. It is courage; the cowardly lion does not exist in that successful entrepreneurial personality. They have the courage to look in the mirror and know themselves, the courage to keep going, the courage to take risks, the courage to take responsibility and they especially have courage to seize the moment. How about you? Do you have the courage?

Don

Mcneill’s Breakfast Club Every weekday, we listened

to The Breakfast Club on NBC radio. It was a morning variety show originally broad cast from Chicago from 1933 to 1968.

Don McNeill was the show’s host for 35 ½ years, longer than any other variety show host.

The show featured the “four calls to breakfast.” There was music, informal talk, jokes, comedy persormers, various vocal groups and soloists and a moment of silent prayer Fran Allison (known later for her role in the Kukla, Fran and Ollie Show) played Aunt Fanny along with Capt.

Stubby and the Buccaneers.

Every quarter hour, came the “the call to breakfast” -- a march around the breakfast table. As a child, I remember marching around the kitchen table to march music provided by the show.

Beginning in 1950, the show aired on ABC Television, but it failed to make the transition from radio to TV and was cancelled.

Konkrete Kids Foundation Golf Tournament

Lane Markulics of Bath.

Submitted by GREG YESTRUMSKAS Northampton Area Seniors from the greater Bath area are asked to submit an essay about “How could you better the community (Bath) in which you live?” The winner receives funding to help them to buy books, supplies and help get them off to a great start in their college career. The students had outstand-

ing ideas such as promoting the welcoming community, create more activities for the kids during the summer months- like a pool and water features, open a local public library, planting more trees and using more green resources. These were just a few.

The Greater Bath Area Chamber volunteers did not have an easy task in selecting the scholarship winner.

Too Narrow?

The preacher is sometimes accused of being narrow-minded because he insists upon the Christian’s forsaking all to follow Christ. Is it necessary to be so narrow?

There is no room for broad-mindedness in the chemical laboratory.

Water is composed of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. The slightest deviation is forbidden. There is no room for broad-mindedness in mathematics. Neither geometry, calculus, nor trigonometry allows any variation from exact accuracy. The solution of the problem is either right or wrong--no tolerance there! There is no room for broad-mindedness in the garage. The piston rings must fit the cylinder walls within one-thousandth part of an inch! How, then, shall we expect that broad-mindedness shall rule in the realm of religion and morals?

There are those who believe there are many ways to get to heaven, however, the Bible says, “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 16:25). Jesus Christ said, “wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13-14).

How narrow is the way? The Bible narrows it down exclusively to one person! Jesus Christ declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). The Apostles affirmed that Jesus is the only way! “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). There are no other choices!

“He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” (I John 5:12). The Bible assures, “as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12). See www.naog.ws/theway.htm

Game 3 Salem pounded away with three runs in each of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th, while East Hills picked up a run in the 1st and three in the 9th. Salem hit for four runs to win it all, 16-4.

start for the pre- colonial settlement.

About 12 brave families cleared the land to farm. The logs they cut became their building material for their first homes. As time progressed, the drafty log cabins became high maintenance. Some settlers then used the stones in the field to build more substantial homes in this area.

The first generation established the oldest congregation and church in 1730 and 1731. The settlers lived here among the Native Americans for 35 years. It was the death of Mrs. Jane Horner in Oct. 1763 in this settlement, and the deaths of others in others in PA, that brought the end of the French and Indian War. In honor of Jane Horner, the Allen Township Presbyterian Cemetery is called Horner’s Cemetery.

Other important family names are Craig, Walker, McNair, King, Grey, Horner, Clendenin, Lattimore, Ralston, Brown, Allison, Boyd, Clyde, Rosbrough, Hemphill, Humphrey, Hays, Palmer and Wilson.

Some roads in Allen Township bear their names, as well as Palmer Township. Some of their homes still stand and have been identified, as well as all their tombstones. In a one-acre cemetery, there are seven esquires, four doctors, three ministers, and delegates to the Constitutional Convention and Continental Congress.

On May 27 at noon, the Son of Veterans, Union soldiers, will hold a short memorial service in the cemetery, to honor the 21 veterans from four wars, with 19 soldiers from the American Revolution. One Civil War veteran lost his life due to this country’s conflict and his service to preserve the Union.

There will be a tour offered after the cemetery for those who are interested. For the rest of the year, there will be individual and group tours offered many days and times, including school children and scout troops. For more information, please contact Peggy Moser at 610-837-1757.

Northampton Police Chief Bryan Kadingo welcomes new full-time patrol officer Matthew Bennicoff.

By KERI LINDENMUTH The Borough of Northampton Council narrowly passed its highly contested rental inspection ordinance 4-3 during its May 17 public meeting. Councilmembers Judy Kutzler, Kenneth Hall, Anthony Lopsonzs-

ki, Sr., and Robert McHale voted in favor of the ordinance.

Councilmembers Tony Pristash, Ed Pany, and Keith Piescienski voted against.

The ordinance will take effect on January 1. A registry of rental properties will be maintained and inspections will take place regularly by a code enforcement officer. If the rental unit passes inspection, a license will be issued, stating the rental unit is in safe and livable condition.

Landlords will be required to pay an inspection fee for each unit.

Borough resident Justin Boandl spoke before council’s vote, saying he was for the ordinance, which puts safety as top priority; however, he said landlords should be given some sort of list to let them know what will be inspected.

Borough resident Jim Kucharik also spoke in support of the ordinance. He said his car is inspected every year, even though he knows it is safe, so apartments should be too.

“It is a safety issue, it is a health issue, it is a fire issue,” he said.

As for the fees, he said, “ForContinued on page 9

ty to fifty dollars is minimal.

I would gladly pay it for my neighbors so I am safe.”

Resident Ruth Miller, a bor-

ough landlord, agreed.

“You cannot put a price on health and safety,” she said.

However, not all residents spoke in favor of the ordinance.

Landlords in attendance spoke against the fees. Some even said the inspections breach search

and seizure laws.

“I view inspections as necessary,” said Councilman Ed Pany, “[but] other elements are excessive baggage and big government.”

Councilman Tony Pristash said the ordinance takes a “one percent problem in town [and] drags 100 percent into it.”

“We have a lot of good landlords taking care of their properties,” he added.

Councilman Robert McHale, a member of the rental inspection committee, said the committee took care to make sure the ordinance is not a “cash cow.” If there is excess revenue from the collected fees, those fees will be dropped or reduced the following year.

Councilwoman Judy Kutzler, also a member of the committee, said this ordinance is a matter of safety, not financial gain. It will “provide a standard of living that is humane for all residents.”

Mayor Thomas Reenock, who spoke openly against the ordinance, said the borough has no means of enforcing it. How-

ever, council was able to solve this problem by appointing fire chief Keith Knoblach as a parttime code enforcement officer.

Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. attempted to as-

suage landlords’ fears.

“No one is going to go in a home…it is not the evil empire,” he said. “[We are] just looking for someone to help.”

Today, Dave is an industrial electrician working and maintaining the plant’s electrical components, including 3500 HP motors. The hardworking eight-member electrical gang is supervised by David Young, and they’re all fine men.

He said, “I have great camaraderie with my coworkers, each day on the job is different; there is always a challenge to be solved, and there is satisfaction when the job is completed.”

On a number of occasions, Dave and fellow employees remained at the plant for over 30 hours during winter blizzards; the entrance was closed for days.

Safety is a priority at the plant.

Each morning supervisor Young updates the men on all safety issues. The objective is to operate the plant in a safe and efficient manner.

Mr. Sonon has a strong work ethic following his father Lester, who was employed at the old Fogelsville Lehigh Plant. He and his brother Benjamin work on restoring old farm equipment; a prize piece being a 1917 Geiser Peerless steam engine, in their spare time.

Paul A. Kokolus, Secretary Alfred S. Pierce, Solicitor (5/24) LEGAL NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the Council of the Borough of Nazareth intends to adopt the following Ordinance at its regularly scheduled monthly meeting to be held on June 4, 2018, at 6:00 P.M., E.D.T., at Nazareth Municipal Building, West Center and Church Streets, Nazareth, Pennsylvania.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 10 OF THE BOROUGH OF NAZARETH CODE OF ORDINANCES; REGULATING THE DISPOSAL OF GRASS CLIPPINGS AND YARD WASTE ON THE BOROUGH STREETS; SETTING PROCEDURES FOR REDUCTION IN WASTE AND REMEDIATION; PROVIDING FOR LIABILITY OF HOMEOWNERS; AND SETTING CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES.

Management

§801. Purpose and Intent.

The purpose of this Ordinance is to establish requirements for the proper management and disposal of yard waste in the Borough of Nazareth, so as to protect public health, safety and welfare, and to prescribe penalties for the failure to comply.

The Borough Council makes the following findings: A. The deposit and accumulation of grass clippings, leaves and other yard waste upon and into the streets of the Borough have created a public problem by increasing the amount of waste and debris in the streets, making the Borough less visually attractive, and increasing pollution and run-off into the Borough’s storm water system; and B. A significant portion of the run-off and debris in the streets results from persons intentionally disposing or placing grass clippings, leaves and yard waste in the Borough streets; and C. The current ordinances and procedures are inadequate to abate the dumping of grass clippings, leaves and yard waste into the streets; and D. A new ordinance is required to remediate the problems identified herein. §802. Definitions.

For the purpose of this Ordinance the following definitions shall apply: A. Containerized. – The placement of yard waste in a trash can, bucket, bag or other similar receptacle to prevent yard waste from spilling, blowing or in any way being deposited onto the street and coming into contact with storm water.

B. Person. – Any individual, corporation, association or similar entity subject to municipal jurisdiction who owns or occupies an improved or unimproved parcel of real property in the Borough.

C. Street. – Any street, avenue, boulevard, road, parkway, drive, alley, or other way, and includes the lane between the street lines, whether improved or unimproved, and may comprise pavement, shoulders, gutters, curbs, sidewalks, parking areas, and other areas within the street lines.

D. Yard Waste. – Including, but not limited, to leaves, grass clippings or other debris or waste produced in conjunction with yard maintenance, gardening or similar activities. §803. Offense Defined.

A. Except as stated in Paragraph C below, it shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly cause yard waste to be deposited onto the streets of the Borough unless it is containerized.

A property owner or occupier is responsible to ensure that any third-party individuals or entities hired to perform landscape maintenance or other services on the property abide by this Ordinance. Any yard waste which inadvertently enters the streets of the Borough shall be promptly removed; there is no “grace period” within which to remove yard waste.

B. It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly cause yard waste to be swept, spilled,

blown or in any way deposited directly or indirectly into the storm water system.

C. Sweeping, raking, blowing or otherwise depositing leaves that are not containerized at the curb or along the street shall be permitted only during scheduled and announced collection times during the fall, and any such leaves shall not be deposited within ten (10) feet of any storm water system inlet. §804. Enforcement.

A. This Ordinance may be enforced by the Police Department or the Borough Code Enforcement Officer. A violation of this Ordinance shall initially be sanctioned by the civil penalty method set forth in Section 805. The enforcing officer will use common sense and discretion in the enforcement of this Ordinance and shall consider means other than the issuance of a citation where appropriate.

No citation may be based upon hearsay.

B. There shall be a presumption that yard waste found in a street immediately adjacent to a property was placed there by the property owner or occupier.

This is a rebuttable presumption. §805. Civil Penalty.

A violation of this Ordinance shall constitute a civil penalty punishable by a fine set by resolution of the Borough Council. A citation, similar in form to a parking citation, shall be tendered by the officer to the offending person. Any offending person who does not pay the citation amount at the Borough Office within seventy-two (72) hours may be subject to increased penalties or fines. §806. Criminal Penalty.

Any person who fails to pay a civil penalty set under Section 805 within thirty (30) days commits a summary offense under the Borough Code and shall be issued a citation to appear before the District Justice. Upon conviction, a Defendant shall be fined not more than six hundred ($600.00) dollars and costs of prosecution for each offense, or in default thereof, sentenced to the county jail for up to thirty (30) days. §807. Severability.

Should any portion of this Ordinance be determined to be unlawful or unconstitutional, then the remainder of the Ordinance shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect.

www.HomeNewsPA.com §808. Effective Date.

All provisions of this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect five (5) calendar days after adoption by the Borough Council and approval of the Mayor.

Copies of the complete Ordinance are available at the Borough Office, 134 South Main Street, Nazareth, Pennsylvania.

Bethlehem Steel employee newsletter gets special Reprinting for 100 year anniversary submitted by GLENN KOEHLER In May of 1918 the Bethlehem Steel Corporation launched its first employee newsletter, a publication "devoted to the interest and general health and welfare of all Employees.” A contest later renamed the newsletter to the “Bethlehem Booster,” and the rest is history. In celebration of the centennial anniversary of the newsletter’s debut, the National Museum of Industrial History (NMIH) is running a limited reprinting of these fascinating, and often humorous, looks into the past.

The bulletin was run by editor-in-chief J. E. Gheen under

the Bureau of Labor and Safety (later renamed the Bureau of Employment, Compensation, and Welfare) at Bethlehem Steel Corporation. The semimonthly publication is filled with company news, whimsical cartoons, poetry, photographs of the plant, and recaps of the Bethlehem Steel athletic teams. The reproductions are printed in coordination with Brad Orey, the manager of Reprographics & Print Services at Lafayette College, and include the full sixteen-issue run of 1918 newsletters.

The first two issues are now available in the NMIH gift shop for $3 per issue, and will later be available online at nmih.org.

New issues will be available each month until the last publications in December. Sets of all sixteen issues will be available for $42.

About the National Museum of Industrial History

A Smithsonian Institutionaffiliate, the National Museum of Industrial History is dedicated to preserving America's rich industrial heritage. Housed in an 18,000-square-foot, 100-year-old

former Bethlehem Steel facility on the largest private brownfield in America, the Museum is home to exciting exhibits, engaging programs and amazing history.
