by JOE KORBA The Upper Nazareth Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a motion to advertise the creation of an Environmental Advisory Council in the township. Solicitor Gary Asteak drafted the ordinance to form a council that would advise the board of supervisors on environmental and open-space issues. They would also be charged with promoting environmental awareness and education in Upper Nazareth. Residents of the township are eligible to serve on the seven-person council for a three-year term and are appointed by the board of supervisors. There is no compensation for being on it and it should include at least one supervisor and one member of the planning commission. Township Manager Lisa Klem noted in her report that they have new permit tracking software to better keep track of building permits and other documents. She also presented a request by the Nazareth Memorial Library to have pavilion rental fees waived for events the library is having there this summer. The motion to waive the $36 fees passed unanimously. Police Chief Bill Cope received approval to hire two new fulltime officers effective June 20. He said they are needed to better serve residents and to cover the schedule. Chief Cope also sought approval for $42,500 to purchase a new police vehicle, $4,900 for equipment and $37,600 for the Dodge car. The motion passed with Cope saying that he thinks the new vehicle will come in under budget. A motion for the police department to close Liberty

Street fair brings Crowds back to Uptown Northampton
By KERI LINDENMUTH The Uptown Northampton Street Fair, hosted by the Northampton Area Chamber of Commerce, made a triumphant return on Saturday, May 22, after COVID-19 canceled the popular event in 2020. Over 80 vendors lined Main Street from 21st Street to 17th Street. With over four blocks of live music, food, and local vendors, each member of the family could find something to enjoy. “We are so excited to be able to host this event for the community,” said Jessica O’Donnell, Executive Vice President of Affiliated Chambers. This is the 31st year of the event. This event is the chance for the community to “come together and celebrate everything we have been through,” she added. Popular local food trucks like Fancy Funnels, Donut NV, and Bananarama set up shop, along with other vendors selling everything from homemade perogies and sandwiches to smoothies and kettle corn. Shoppers could browse the booths of local crafters selling handmade jewelry, purses, accessories, wreaths, soaps, lotions, cards, and birdhouses. With graduation season and Father’s Day
right around the corner, many shoppers were picking out oneof-a-kind gifts for loved ones, while others were simply looking forward to a much-needed shopping spree after a year inside. The Roxy Theater opened its doors for a behind-the-scenes tour and history lesson on the local landmark. Visitors could also get a history lesson on another local figure: Mario Andretti’s Indy race car was on display and speakers were there to give background on the car and Andretti’s career. 3D Dance and Elite Mixed Martial Arts gave demonstrations, along with performances by musicians Kendal Conrad and Chasing Daylight. The event was Chasing Daylight’s first live performance since the shutdown started in spring 2020. “Northampton is open for business again, inside and out,” said Street Fair Chairman Tony Continued on page 9

nue were also present at the meeting to bring up concerns about a fellow resident that seems to be hoarding, burning pallets without a permit, and conducting drug deals. Councilmember Judy Kutzler expressed that the resident in question has received multiple citations from the code officers, but that is all they can really do concerning the situation. Further, code officer Keith Knoblach will be sent out to the property to take a look at the situation. Borough council approved a request for a handicap spot at 146 Howertown Rd., which was originally rejected at police chief Bryan Kadingo’s suggestion since there is a garage on the property.
Council approved the request due to the doctor’s note with the application and earlier testimony from a family member of the applicant. They approved a request for a handicap spot at 1258 Main St. as well. The Northampton Joint Veterans’ Organization’s request to hold a memorial tribute on May 31 at 11 a.m. at the Memorial Plaza was approved. The rededication of the howitzer will also occur at that time. The public works supervisor, along with LeRoy Brobst, met with UGI representatives to discuss conditions of Main Street. Work between the 1700 and 1800 blocks of Main Street was started and hoped to be finished by Saturday’s street fair. Conditions on East 21st Street between Dewey and Lincoln Avenues

Well we made it through the first heat wave of the season, let’s see how the next one goes! Northampton’s Street Fair took place during the high temps, looks like that didn’t stop anyone from coming out though, good for them...My Place Pizza is opening to in-person dining again, good news. The Bath Borough volleyball court is also back open, looks real nice... Grace Lutheran Church is open for in-person worship for the month of June, so is Christ Church of Bath. We’re holding off on running the church directory just yet, since our page counts are varying, we rarely have room to run it but I’d like to get it in soon, if you would like you can email us at AskUs@HomeNewsPA.com or mail us your updated worship times/location to P.O. Box A in Walnutport, 18088...Over the weekend there was a shooting in Northampton County, on Sunday afternoon. A trooper shot a 55-year-old Northampton County man in Williams Twp. on Berger Road. I read that neighbors had reported the man was acting erratically and violently and raising red flags prior to the shooting. It’s currently under investigation...Looks like the food truck Wednesdays at Unangst Tree Farms are really growing, they ran out of parking last week. They’re suggest-
ing people carpool or order takeout...Next week a brand new series by Ed Pany will begin, keep an eye out. We have a cement worker of the month coming up also for June...This weekend is the unofficial start of summer with Memorial Day weekend. As usual, please take the time over the weekend and on Memorial Day to remember and honor all of the heroes that made the ultimate sacrifice for their country; for us. Please remember that the day is not just about BBQs and having off of work and drinking- it’s about our fallen soldiers. There are many services and opportunities to pay your respects over the weekend, we printed the services two weeks in a row just in case. There will also be the annual parade in Nazareth, followed by a dedication of a plaque to three Vietnam veterans from the Nazareth area who lost their lives in that conflict; that’ll be in Council Chambers after the parade...Anywho, I gotta wrap it up here, I hope everyone has a safe Memorial Day weekend, cya next time.

They swear they will be fired if you don’t help recover the mistake, and ultimately seek to convince you to send the money back by purchasing a prepaid debit or gift card for the amount and reading the numbers off the back. You buy $9,900 in gift cards, share the information, and are immediately out $9,900. Know this – retailers don’t work this way. And anytime you are asked to purchase a gift card – to buy something, to pay an obligation – anything, it’s a scam 100% of the time. Rental Property Scams The post-pandemic pent up demand for travel has the summer travel industry booming. But rather than looking to hotels for

overnight stays, travelers are increasingly looking at home rentals. While these properties offer privacy and distance from crowds, they could pose threats to consumers’ wallets. Crooks steal photos and descriptions of properties on real estate websites, then advertise rentals at rock-bottom prices. After a deal is struck — typically by email — renters are asked for payment upfront – often by purchasing a gift card (Google Play is a common one) and sharing the numbers off the back. When they arrive, they discover that the rental doesn't exist, or that the actual Continued on page 7

Retail Refund Scams
Submitted by STEVE GARDNER A burgeoning scam impersonates Amazon or another big retailer, claiming you are owed a refund and that you need to call a number or click a link to get it processed. These paths always lead to a scammer – who will ingratiate himself to you, and then convince you to allow them to remotely access your device. They will “show” you the refund owed (let’s say it’s $100). Then they will convince you to sign into your bank account online so the can “show” you the deposit they are ready to make – only they show you a fake page in which it appears they mistakenly refunded you $10,000,

Northampton School Board discusses Plans for graduation, 2021-22 school year By CHRISTINA SANTO The Northampton Area School Board met on Monday, May 24 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss plans for graduation and the 2021-22 school year. Graduation will take place on Friday, June 4 at 7 p.m. with rain dates on June 5 and 6. Since graduates will be seated 3 to 4 feet apart in the stadium, they will not be required to wear masks. Guests will not be required to wear masks either, unless they are leaving their seats. Next year, the board is planning for schools to be open five days a week on a full schedule. Whether or not masks will be required is still up in the air, and will depend on CDC and/ or

state mandates. Online learning will still be offered to a degree, as long as the demand is there, which may not be known until July or August 2021. However, if the demand for online learning is there, a teacher from one elementary school may be the online learning teacher for all second graders across the district, according to the school board. Students cannot have more than 18 absences throughout the past school year, cannot have failed any online courses, and must commit to a full marking period of online learning in order to enroll in the online learning program for the next school year.

Over 40 Yrs. Experience
"But that only magnifies the importance of recognizing the accomplishments of our students who have had to confront obstacles unlike any other in NCC's history," Dr. Erickson, president of NCC, said during his live remarks. "And while we can't honor our students live and in person, technology does allow us to do the next best thing." He told the students, "You continue to define NCC in ways that are so impressive, making an impact on our campus, in our communities, workplaces and your families, rising above the COVID crisis as well as academic and personal challenges to succeed when it mattered most. You are shining examples of NCC at its very best and are giving new meaning to the words Spartan Strong!" License # PA003267

Sermonette
Remember
by FRANKLIN HOMME On Memorial Day, we think of all military veterans and because of COVD-19, we think of all medical personal heroes; all who sacrifice their lives to help others. I served, but especially my brothers and uncles, brothers-inlaw who served in the military. I had brothers and brother-in laws serving in Army-Air Force and Marines. Some of them made it home, but in all the wars, hundreds and thousands of families lost loved ones in serving their country. You ask any of them; they will give their life for their country and stand for what they believe to be right. Freedom is not free- don’t be too quick to give up after fighting for it. In war, many soldiers prayed to God. Don’t take it for granted. We fought for our country, why would anyone want to take our freedom away? Be careful what you wish for or vote for. Our veterans fought for our freedom. We will not have freedom if our country is changed. Men and women fought for
our freedom- do you want to give up your freedom to choose when-what-where you go, what you can buy, make your own choices. When someone dies in defense of their country, (John 15:13)- “Greater love has no one than this: veteran’s laydown one’s life for one’s friends” at a funeral service is to honor their sacrifice. We have built memorials to our soldiers of war, who fought and died for our freedom, as a remembrance. In Washington, a memorial has been built in our most honored cemetery, in remembrance of the unknown soldier, giving special honor and recognition to all soldiers. A military guard paces back and forth, night and day, in silence, as a fitting expression of our nation's indebtedness. Remember, Jesus sacrificed His life for us (Romans 5;10). Jesus entered our dark world to bring freedom and life. His resurrection celebrates that He accomplished what He set out to do. We can celebrate His resurrection and share the good alive. Jesus left us a memorial: communion service. In this observance, he would have us honor Him, and remember Him as the One Who came from heaven to earth, to give Himself as a sacrifice for our sin. Deity He took our pain and

our punishment. Jesus died for us, to give us freedom from sin's penalty, eternal death, and to impart to His life, eternal life. Let us not forget. So we thank all service members and all Heroes – who served their country and those who were Heroes who took part with COVID-19. We knew God would get us through that.
