Northampton County Honors those who Have served

Allen Union Cemetery. (More pictures on pages 8 and 9.)

By KERI LINDENMUTH A series of Memorial Day ceremonies and services were held at churches and cemeteries across Northampton County over Memorial Day weekend. Family, friends, and other loved ones paid their respects to the men and women who have served in the armed forces through prayer, song, and silent remembrance.

The Sons of Veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, made up of a group of men who are descendants of Civil War Union soldiers, visited 10 churches and cemeteries throughout the county, including St. Peter’s United Church of Christ, Allen Union Cemetery, and Horner’s Cem-

etery, the oldest in Northampton County, to partake in such services. They were accompanied by the Tri-Community Marching Band, who performed hymns and patriotic tunes such as “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “America the Beautiful,” and “The Star Spangled Banner.”

Members of the Sons of Veterans recited the Gettysburg Address and conducted a 21-gun salute before bowing their heads as “Taps” was played.

At St. Peter’s UCC, Reverend Lamar Handwerk led the congregation in prayer for the nation’s armed forces and veterans, and

Students Celebrate the 16th Annual Freddy Awards

Freddy Awards Continued from page 1 live on WFMZ. A total of 29 schools from across Lehigh, Northampton, and Warren County, New Jersey participated in this season’s awards.

From February until May, these schools performed their spring musicals in front of sold-out audiences and a panel of Freddy Awards judges. These judges evaluated the schools’ choirs, scenery, actors and actresses, choreography, and more. Nominations for the more than 20 Freddy Awards up for grabs were announced on May 11. The annual ceremony held at the State Theatre is where the winners are revealed, but it is so much more. It is a celebration

of all the students’ hard work. It is a celebration of musical theater.

And, in a time of divisiveness, it is a celebration of unity, friendship, and kindness.

“The respect, kindness, and love that is in this theatre…I wish it could be everywhere,” Freddy Awards host and State Theatre president and CEO Shelley Brown said before the ceremony went live.

The awards began with over 100 students, representing every school, performing an opening medley of songs from Broadway hits like Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen. Their fellow cast mates, their theater directors, and their families cheered them on so loudly, their voices were sometimes drowned out by the excitement,

but their smiles were visible from every seat in the house.

Five schools were nominated for Outstanding Overall Production of a Musical and each had their chance to perform a musical number from their show. Bangor Area High School was nominated for its production of 42nd Street.

The cast performed the show’s tap-dancing filled title number.

The flawless choreography and the cast’s stunning quick change had the audience on its feet.

Southern Lehigh High School’s Disney’s Little Mermaid was also nominated. Dressed as mermaids, crabs, stingrays, starfish, and squids, the cast performed “Under the Sea.” To give the effect of gliding under the water, they all floated across the stage in Heelys, much to the audience’s delight.

Emmaus High School’s cast of West Side Story performed “The Dance at the Gym/Promenade/ Mambo” sequence. The show’s intense choreography, which garnered the school a Freddy Award for Outstanding Choreography, was directed entirely by Emmaus student Luke Csordas, who won a Freddy himself for Outstanding Performance by a Featured Dancer.

Dieruff High School’s cast of Side Show slowed it down a bit by performing the powerful ballad “Who Will Love Me as I Am.” Dieruff, which in the past has performed productions of Chicago, The Producers, and In the Heights, is known for bringing something new to the Freddy Awards every single year, and this year was no exception. As they were with past productions, they are the first school to perform Side Show, the musical based on the lives on conjoined twins Violet and Daisy Hilton.

Finally, Parkland High School performed “Esmerelda” from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Parkland’s production garnered the most nominations this year, with a total of 15. Before performing toward the end of the evening, the school had already won Outstanding Performance by an Orchestra, Outstanding Use of Scenery, Outstanding Small Ensemble Performance, and Outstanding Chorus.

In addition to the nominated schools, the nominated lead actors and actresses also performed.

Meghan Altemose from Saucon Valley High School was awarded Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Marian Paroo in The Music Man. Reese Diaz from Parkland High School was awarded Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

The biggest awards of the evening, Outstanding Overall Production by a Smaller School and Outstanding Overall Production of a Musical, were presented last.

Overall Production by a Smaller School resulted in a shocking tie between Hackettstown High School’s Godspell and Northern Lehigh High School’s Swee-

ney Todd. It marked the latter school’s first win in the category.

Outstanding Overall Production of a Musical was awarded to Parkland High School, which ended up winning a total of eight awards throughout the evening.

However, no matter which school or student won an award, everyone was there to celebrate one thing that trumped all else: the arts.

“The arts matter, the arts change lives,” said Freedom High School theater director Jennifer Wescoe, who is retiring from the school’s theater department this year. She received a special Freddy Award for her more than 18 years supporting high school theater. “We work just as hard as the sports teams. Be inspired. Be encouraged.”

Allen Township Supervisors Consider Changing Industrial zone To rural

By KERI LINDENMUTH Allen Township Supervisors looked at proposed zoning map changes during their Tuesday, May 22 meeting. These changes, recommended by the planning commission, include a recommendation to keep the property on which the future Jaindl-Watson warehouse complex may reside zoned for industrial, following past discussions to potentially change that zone to rural.

Supervisors agree that there is a “99 percent” chance the proposed warehouse will be approved.

Some worry that changing the zone this late in the process may have severe legal ramifications.

The value of the property as industrial is significantly higher than it would be should the zone be changed to rural.

“You need to look at the ramifications for what [this] means,” warned township solicitor B. Lincoln Treadwell, Jr. “What do you do if you are a property owner [and you see] significant decrease in the value of your property?”

However, Supervisor Dale Hassler said the risk is one worth taking.

“If we do not make this move, we will not have enough time to go back and make it rural,” he said. “We missed the boat. Once we know the building is there, turn it back to industrial.”

“We do not want to miss an opportunity here to stop something,” he added. “Residents do not want any warehouses [and] no plan has been approved.”

Supervisors plan to continue this discussion.

“We want the decision to be the best for the township,” said Chairman Larry Oberly.

Rodeo coming to Willow Brook Farms

By KERI LINDENMUTH Allen Township residents may soon be seeing their first rodeo.

Phil Hussmann, a rodeo professional who moved to Willow Brook Farms when he was 16, approached the Allen Township Board of Supervisors to tell them about the farm’s upcoming Western Heritage Festival. The festival, which will be held from June 30 to July 1, will be the first of its kind on the farm.

The event in the farm’s outdoor arena will feature food, a beer garden, barrel racing, bull riding, “cowboy shootouts,” an authentic 1880 Western show, and more.

Hussmann anticipates a crowd of

1,000 to 1,500 attendees.

Hussmann said he is willing to work with the township in any way possible to make sure the event goes off smoothly. He also said he understands that he will have to deal with construction on Willowbrook Road. The board made a motion to allow the township’s zoning officer to issue a permit for the event.

For Hussmann, this year’s event is just the beginning of what he hopes will become a Willow Brook Farms tradition.

“If it is successful, [we] hope to have it every year,” he said. “[Ultimately] we want to bring professional rodeo to Willow Brook.”

Grow UR BizFive ways to Upsell me

By CAROL RITTER Holiday weekends change the schedule, change the mood, and change the way we go about our daily lives. We visit with family, friends, and take time to smell the roses before we get back to work and the daily grind. I took advantage of that time, babysat the grandkids, went for ice cream, ordered take out, did a little shopping and prepared for the big picnic. So I decided to take a little time before the fun began and stop for a cup of coffee at a coffee shop. When I arrived I ordered a gluten free sandwich.

The very friendly barista notified me that they were no longer carrying them. I guessed, like any Continued on page 5

Carol Ritter Continued from page 4

business, they probably weren’t selling enough of them to keep them on the menu. She then came out from behind the counter to show me all of the gluten free items they did offer, a fruit cup, a cheese and salami tray and a hard-boiled egg and veggie package. I was impressed with her desire to please the customer. She never tried to sell me anything but took the time to educate me about their products. I was so impressed I bought the gluten free Manchego cheese and salami package, shared it with friends and then went on to buy a little gift for someone who loves Manchego cheese. Basically, I spent another $12 at the coffee shop.

This barista was not only impressive; she was dedicated to the company. I never felt pressured, I never felt forced and I didn’t realize that education actually could lead to an up sell.

The Oxford Dictionary defines the term upsell: to persuade a customer to buy something additional or more expensive.

You sometimes find in many restaurants that when you place an order for dinner, the waitress will offer you an appetizer to start. And almost every restaurant would be remiss by not offering dessert at the end of the meal.

Expected, but depending on how it is presented, could look like an upsell. Or you walk into a car

dealership looking to buy a basic, small car and walk away with an SUV. Here are five ways To upsell me: 1. Education first - even on your Facebook page, teach people about your business, your products and your services.

2. Engagement second - engage your customers into a dialogue, get to know them better and ask them questions about their particular needs.

3. Save them money - everyone loves a sale and, even more, everyone loves to tell everyone else that they got a deal. Keep savings in mind when you are educating your customers.

4. Make sure you are meeting their needs - take the time to listen to what makes your customer happy, ask not only ‘how can I help you?’ but also ‘how are you doing today?’ Listen with sincerity.

5. Timing is everything - just like the barista, she more than likely would not have mentioned the other gluten free items without my asking for sandwich. Obviously she was well trained in customer service and even better trained in waiting for the right moment.

One thing we all know about business is cash flow doesn’t need to be a customer issue but it sure is what matters to the owner/ boss/leadership. Let’s face it, cash flow rocks. So upsell me, just don’t let me know it.

Ash Road bridge construction And public works Representation among issues Discussed at LT meeting

by JOE KORBA There were a variety of topics covered at the May 22 Lehigh Township Supervisors meeting, spanning from bridge construction to the township’s ongoing fight against an unfunded state environmental mandate. The first item discussed was hiring a firm to plan the bridge construction on Ash Road and Poplar Drive, which connects to Lehigh Drive. Alice Rehrig, the Township Manager, said that Peters Design Group, Inc., an engineering firm based in Bloomsburg, comes highly recommended from some municipalities in their region. Their contact in Selinsgrove called Peters “competent and professional.” After hearing a few other positive reviews, board Chairman Daryl Snover noted that there were “no negative” re-

views and said that they “would have to go 300% over budget to hit the next bid.” Supervisor Keith Hantz had a slight reservation about not using a local firm, but ultimately they motioned and unanimously voted to accept the bid and move forward with the project.

A motion also passed unanimously after some discussion to get a new loader for the public works crew. A 2018 CASE Wheel Loader model 621G will be purchased for the crew.

Supervisor Cindy Miller, during new business, made the suggestion that someone from public works should attend the first meeting of the month to represent that department. Hantz had some concerns about mandating Continued on page 8

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual

Take Care of Yourself, Or Not

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

Helping for 20 years

When we were children we pretty much had our days spelled out for us, didn’t we? Like many, I had certain times set aside for playing and chores. Bathing was for the most part preset days and times. So was bedtime and wake time. Sundays I would go to church whether I wanted to or not. The same held true for my eating. I didn’t have a voice in the matter what so ever. I either ate what was set before me or I would go hungry. No other options were available.

As I got older things changed a bit. I can remember when I actu-

ally started picking out the clothes I would wear for school. I also was able, within reason, to decide when I wanted to go to bed and certain things along those lines.

Obviously, as we all have gotten older, we make, by and large, our own decisions. Some have been good and right and still others have been downright foolish and consequences ensued. Needs to be stated my best decision was the acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savior. Praise God. Another one of my “homerun decisions” was asking my childhood sweetheart to marry me. Again, I find myself

May 31-June 6, 2018 5

praising God. Conversely, the decision to antagonize our rooster was extremely unwise. My granny told me repeatedly to leave the chickens alone. I didn’t listen and I paid for it. To this day I steer clear of anything that clucks.

I say all this as I want to turn attention to our daily decisions and the effect on our physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

Some of our decisions foster health, healing, and contentment while others lead to disease, frustration, and angst. It’s true for me and it is true for you. We each have the free will to decide whether we will or will not take care of ourselves. You can decide to drink soda or water. You can decide to eat chicken or pizza.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Except for rain last Tuesday, there was lots of nice sunshine the rest of the week, so it was great to have some time off and enjoy the warmth. It even got as high as 91 degrees. That’s the kind of spring weather we’ll take. It was welcomed, too, by the folks at the just re-opened Bath Farmers Market – those who run it, and those who go there for fresh fruits and veggies. . . . Memorial Day was observed by the Legion and Sons of Veterans in tribute to those men and women who were lost in past wars, and it turned cool and cloudy again, a little cool for swimming in the Northampton pool. . . . The Phillies enjoyed one full day of first place, but are back again in second place after losing a game to Toronto’s Blue Jays on Sunday, while the Atlanta Braves beat Boston’s Red Sox. . . .It has been 10 years since Horner’s Cemetery over in East Allen Township has been restored, so their society is celebrating with free tours. They did a lotta work cleaning up around the tombstones, and Peggy Moser is proud to show it off from now to the end of October. Twelve families started it in the year 1745, the oldest in Northampton County.

We have a lot of history around here and this is a part of it. . . .

Hard to believe, but it’s June, the middle of the year already. Man, the years go faster than ever. . . .Take care and enjoy the summer just ahead.

Remembering Toys

Do you remember Tinker Toys? They were created in

1914 by Charles H. Pajeau, who formed the Tinker Toy Company in Evanston, ILL. Pajean was a stonemason and he designed the toy after seeing children play with sticks and empty spools of thread.

He joined Robert Pettit and Gordon Tinker to market the toy.

Remember Pick Up Stix? They were thin wooden sticks, which were packaged in a tube, and we would dump them out of the tube and try to pick up each one without touching the others, until all the sticks were picked up. It was such a simple game but lots of fun.

Jacks: My childhood girlfriend and I used to spend hours and hours playing Jacks. We'd find a place on the flat concrete stoop and sit and play. Another simple game but it kept us out of trouble for hours.

We can decide to exercise or not.

It’s truly up to us.

Candidly, there have been times in my life when I have taken really good care of myself and there have been times when I haven’t. I have enjoyed great health and I have also suffered through illness, injury, and more.

Can I say all were self-inflicted?

No, but deciding to consume half my Halloween candy in one sitting as a teenager wasn’t smart. So yes, I have been a large contributor to my own problems. I have also been the biggest contributor to the good health I presently enjoy. Let me tell you, I like good health a whole lot better.

These days I am taking gentler care of myself and you know what? That’s okay. I may not be running as far and I tend to walk more and more these days. I also may not be swinging the ax as hard nor as long but there is a younger version of me living in the house and he can.

Taking care of ourselves isn’t always easy but you cannot tell me it’s actually difficult. No matter how ill injured or sick you are this very moment you can make a

decision once and for all to take really good care of yourself….or not.

The root of the vast majority of our health problems is linked to what you’re eating today. It’s not for debate. Simply put, you are ill because of what you have done to yourself through horrible food choices. If you have high blood pressure, depression, anxiety, diabetes, a wound that won’t heal, widespread joint pain, colitis, constipation, any type of autoimmune problem, fatigue, or whatever else is common to humankind, you cannot tell me you can’t do something about it. You can. You just refuse to.

Whatever may be afflicting you at this very moment I ask you, are you taking really good care of yourself?

I hope you are. If not, my hope is that starting today you make the right decision to do so. My best to you.

attendance after he felt Public Works Manager Franklin Zamadics was unduly criticized at previous meetings. “I don’t think it’s fair to have Frank here to get blasted by one of the supervisors,” he said.

Snover agreed with Hantz’s take on the issue, saying “I don’t think it’s fair to have anyone piled on personally. That’s inappropriate. I don’t do this often, but I would insist to the board that it doesn’t happen.” The supervisors, except Hantz, all seemed to be on board with having representation from public works. “We can ask him directly about what equipment they need. They can get credit for things that they are doing,” Supervisor Phil Gogel said.

Miller agreed, saying that “he can talk about the positive, like road improvements.” Ultimately a motion to require a Public Works employee at the first meeting of each month passed with only Hantz abstaining.

Township Solicitor David Backenstoe discussed the ongo-

ing issues that Lehigh Township is having with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) Program, which outlines necessary measures that municipalities must implement to reduce the impacts from silt and sediment runoff into our local waterways like the Lehigh River. The state mandate

is completely unfunded, with the state itself being exempt from its own rules. Backenstoe met with a Montgomery County attorney specializing in municipal issues such as the MS4, who advised that they immediately challenge the state. “It has to be done now.

It has to be appealed within 30 days of issuing the permit,” Backenstoe said. Snover asked the board if they would be in favor of meeting with the attorney and they agreed that they would like to for more information on the process of challenging what they see as arbitrary rules being imposed on them.

The next Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors Meeting will be June 12 at 7 p.m. at the municipal building at 1069 Municipal Road in Walnutport.

talked about their dedication and service in his message, “A Time to Remember.” The senior choir led a rendition of “America, the Beautiful” and “My County, ‘Tis of Thee.”

During the Allen Union Cemetery service, Eugene Kutzler performed a bagpipe solo and Larry Oberly recited the invocation and benediction. He also addressed the assemblage with a duty he urged them to carry out during Memorial Day and beyond.

“Remembering those who have passed is only half the duty,” he said. “We must carry their love…We must never waiver from the path of freedom and democracy.”

The Barn Swallows

By Charles McIlhaney Jr. For many years, barn swallows have nested in the back bay of the barn. They use the same mudbuilt nest every year. In anticipation of their arrival from winter migration, usually near the end of YO April, I let the upper half of the SA barn door open for them. Over -$ course of the next few months, while feeding their voracious chicks, we share the barn space.

They often perch on an overhead Irw Bit wire, as my friends and I engage in &A conversation seated below.

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
