Bath Area Fish Committee Holds 67th Annual Children’s Fishing Contest
By SAVANNAH BROWN Beginning at 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 30, the Bath Area Fish Committee held its 67th Annual Children’s Fishing Contest in memory of Tommy Fehr and Herbie Bensing at Monocacy Creek with two days of fishing and fun for children ages 0 to 15. The contest returned this year after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The Bath Area Fish Committee stocked the creek Friday evening with 503 trout this year, costing them $3,000, which they raised through donations from businesses and individuals in the community. These donations also allowed the committee to purchase prizes for 20 tagged fish, consisting of fishing poles, nets, and tackle boxes. Various baskets of toys, fishing gear, candy,
and even a bike was purchased or donated to the committee, which was raffled off on Sunday, May 1 at noon, and helped the committee raise back some of the funds they used for the contest. Families arrived early to set up their spots all along Monocacy Creek. At 8 a.m. Chris Fehr sounded the horn with Bath Borough Mayor Fiorella Mirabito, Bath Borough Council Vice President Frank Hesch, and Pa. State Representative Ann Flood who all came out for the festivities. State Rep. Ann Flood, who grew up going fishing with her dad, expressed, “I love being here to watch the children fish. I find a lot of enjoyment in it and it’s great for them to be outdoors and pick up a great pastime.” Scott Cavallo of the Bath Area Fish Committee was raised in
Bath and grew up playing in the Monocacy Creek every summer with his brother and sister, so the fishing contest is very special to him. Cavallo and other members of the committee met with volunteers the prior evening at 6:30 p.m. to stock the creek. Cavallo stated, “The kids helped dump the fish in the creek and it was cool because they got to see how big they were.” The contest, which ended May 1 at 3:30 p.m., limited the catches to four fish per person. Children of all ages were very excited to show off their catches, and many of them caught their four fish within the first hour of the contest. Proud parents and grandparents could also be seen teaching and helping their chilContinued on page 3

Allen Township supervisors continue Howertown Park discussion
By SAVANNAH BROWN The Allen Township Board of Supervisors met on Tuesday, April 26. First on the agenda was a follow up from the presentation by Bath Allen Youth Club on club updates and Howertown Park requests, which was presented by Bath Allen Youth Club board members Nicole Dotta and Michael Henahan. Dotta began by thanking the supervisors for approving Howertown field upgrades recently and wanted to address questions from the board on batting cages and signage at the park.
Vice Chairman Gary Behler voiced concerns about the batting cages, such as how the current batting cages are more of a netting, which looks like it needs to be maintained and hung correctly so there are no safety issues. Behler expressed that he believes properly built batting cages would be a positive improvement to the park and also suggested moving the current position of the batting cage area to a different area of the park because it currently is in a very wet area. Behler stated that although he was against fencing at the last meeting, after exploration of the
park he is open to amending his stance on approval for the fencing. However, he stated he is still adamantly against advertising at the park because he feels advertising on public land is unethical. Dotta agreed, stating they can look for other ways to acknowledge partners that have donated. “We have big dreams for the club. Our goal is to create scholarship funds and create opportunities for kids that want to play baseball,” said Dotta. Dotta added that it would be nice to be able to put signage up for the Bath Allen Youth Club kids to feel like they have a home.

flow ultrasonic level sensors to monitor flow conditions in various low-flow areas of the township for a quote of $5,500. The sensors were approved unanimously. The board then opened the floor to public comments, where several township residents voiced their concerns regarding the Northampton Generating Co. trucks hauling waste coal and fly ash on Seemsville Road. Residents are concerned the trucks are not airtight or sealed properly, causing toxic contents to spread through the air, creating build-up on their property. Northampton Generating Co. Fuels Manager Henry J. Zielinski assured residents the company runs tests regularly to look for toxic trace elements and the trucks are required to be covered by tarps to prevent debris from being emitted. Zielinski clarified the contents are mostly silicon dioxide, which makes up 90% of the material. However, residents retorted the tarps are frayed, and the ash is spewing all over, which they believe is violating the Clean Air Act of 1970. Additionally, residents expressed outrage over the amount of dump trucks from Northampton Generating Co. that travel Seemsville Road daily. Residents complained that the road is not wide enough, the drivers exceed speed limits, and the Jake brakes are so loud they wake residents up every morning and make it impossible for them to sleep.

After determining Northampton Generating Co. trucks drive through Seemsville Road approximately 160 times per day, residents questioned whether the routes can be divided up, breaking up some of the traffic. In response, Zielinski stated Northampton Generating Co. has policies in place for drivers that use Jake brakes in prohibited areas and include repercussions in the form of time off but admitted this is hard to enforce because it requires proof of noncompliance. Zielinski also explained they’re looking into other routes, but they currently use Seemsville Road because it is the most efficient and timely route. Zielinski stated the logistics of the routes is a complex issue and would be a lot simpler if the Cementon Bridge replacement was completed, which has been closed since 2018 and still has no start date. Zielinski assured residents Northampton Generating Co. will be working diligently to address residents’ complaints, but residents appeared to remain skeptical. The next Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be Tuesday, May 10 at 7 p.m. at Allen Township Fire Company, located at 3530 Howertown Rd., Northampton.

Upon arrival, troopers observed 10-15 motorcycles lying on the highway with traffic stopped. All traffic was detoured from Rt. 22 to Rt. 378 southbound during this crash investigation. It was determined that 40 motorcycles were traveling recklessly. This crash investigation determined that five motorcycles crashed, causing four operators to be transported to local hospitals for their injuries. A secondary crash occurred immediately after the initial crash. A BMW S1000RR rear-ended a Ford Explorer, which had slowed down due to the motorcycles’ crash. This incident remains under investigation. Assisting at the scene were the Bethlehem Township EMS and Hanover Township Fire Company. All lanes were reopened at 2:25 p.m.
PSP Troop M announces Arrest in shooting The PSP Troop M announce the arrest of 20-year-old Christopher Melton of Allentown, related to a shooting incident that occured on April 27 in the 5400 block of Mauser Street in North Whitehall Township. On Wednesday, April 27 at 3:57 p.m., troopers were advised of a shooting outside a residence in the 5400 block of Mauser Street and a vehicle description of a white Pontiac G6 sedan which had fled the scene traveling towards Rt. 145. As troopers were responding to the area, they observed a vehicle matching the description of the fleeing vehicle and began to pursue the Pontiac as it fled at a high rate of speed. As the vehicle was fleeing southbound on Rt. 145, it lost control, spun, and crossed over the northbound lanes of travel, where it came to final rest in the lawn of the Whitehall Township Municipal Complex. After coming to a final rest, the operator, Christopher Melton, fled on foot but was taken into custody by both troopers and officers of the Whitehall Township Police Department. Inside the vehicle, a black Taurus .38 Special Revolver with an obliterated serial number was found which contained one live round and five discharged casings. Upon further investigation it was determined Melton and four other individuals arrived at the victim’s residence in the Pontiac G6 and confronted both the homeowner and homeowner’s son with the intention to retrieve personal items that belonged to the driver’s friend.

Bath Borough Council Holds monthly meeting By SAVANNAH BROWN Bath Borough Council President Michele Ehrgott began Monday’s session with an announcement about courtesy of the floor comments at the meetings. President Ehrgott declared that moving forward, the council will no longer respond directly to public comments in real time. Rather, this will allow council members the time to process public comments and questions, so they can provide residents with resolutions and answers directly or at the following meeting. Residents should also clearly state their name and address, so
the council has it for the record. Councilwoman Phyllis Andrews then gave the Water Authority report, stating, “The final walk-through for the borough authority for the new waste management with the Northampton Conservation District for Wastewater Treatment was completed. A notice of termination for completion of the work has been received by the Bath Borough Authority and was forwarded to the USDA to close out the project. Warranty inspection required by the USDA was also performed.” Council Pro Tem Barry Fenstermaker reported that the Parks
& Recreation Committee met and discussed the rental of a stage to hold concerts. The larger stage would be approximately $1,000, whereas the smaller stage would be approximately $500 to $600 to rent. The committee determined several days they would hold music in the park, which will be on Friday, June 24, Friday, July 22, Sunday, August 14, Saturday, September 17, and Saturday, October 29 at Firefighters Park. They are currently trying to line up bands for these dates. Mayor Fiorella Mirabito expressed that six youths have been identified as the vandals at Keystone Park. They will be reimbursing the borough for the damages and will be consequently doing community service for the vandalism. Council Pro Tem Fenstermaker said several people have asked

him if the borough can put up a four-way stop at the intersection of Mill Street and South Walnut Street where the Senior Center is due to people racing through the intersection. Pro Tem Fenstermaker stated he wasn’t sure what could be done to rectify this, but Vice President Frank Hesch suggested the borough could move their portable speed limit machine to that intersection for the time being. In other news, it was stated that everything was “a go” for the project on Broad Street. Mayor Mirabito said the borough will release a NIXLE alert when they start restricted parking. Next, the council unanimously approved a motion to advertise a public hearing on June 6 to consider a proposed new regional comprehensive plan, as well as a motion to change the June 8 bimonthly meeting of Council to Wednesday, June 15. Solicitor Kratz addressed the council regarding an outline with the bid specs on Bid 2022-02 for three different recycling prices,

which will continue as weekly, biweekly, and no recycle. A motion to advertise pursuant to the specifications in the outline council received was also approved unanimously.

Lehigh Township Vol. Fire Co. releases quarterly report
By SHERRY MARCHEFSKY The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors met at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 26. At the opening of the meeting was the Timothy Pitts Manufactured Home Community Conditional Use hearing. The community’s plan was approved by
the Board to move forward. In the zoning report the Solar Panel Variance was also approved, updating the kilowatt output for hookup capabilities. The Lehigh Township Volunteer Fire Company released its quarterly report for the first part of 2022. Total incident
count was 119, EMS having 64 and Fire having 55. The fire company assisted additional fire companies in 21 incidents and received help from outside fire companies 11 times. The average response time to get to the station was 5:13 minutes for EMS and 7:17 minutes for Fire. The average turnout time (dispatch to enroute) was 23 seconds for EMS and 57 seconds for Fire. The department’s average time on the scene was 40 minutes. Of the 119 incidents, 53.78%
were rescue and emergency, 21.01% were fires, 8.4% were good intent calls, 6.72% were non-fire hazardous incidents, 5.88% were false alarm and fall calls, and 4.2% were service calls. Of the three property value losses due to fire, two sustained minimal damage. Pre-incident values of these three properties were $815,600. One was a total loss of $45,000, however the other two were able to save a combined $747,100. This shows in the response time to station,

NORTHAMPTON AREA East Allen Supervisors discuss capital Equipment replacements, status of Locust Road By SAVANNAH BROWN The East Allen Township Board of Supervisors met on Thursday, April 28 to discuss grants, capital equipment replacements, maintenance proposals, the Open Space Plan, and resident concerns regarding Locust Road. The first order of business was the consideration of Resolution 2022-16, Northampton County Livable Landscapes grant application, in the amount of $75,000, which was previously discussed as a planning grant for the Recreational Open Space Plan. The grant was already submitted, so the board approved the item unanimously. The board then discussed capital equipment replacements for the township. The two proposals for the Public Works Department are for one loader and one tractor side flail. Public Works Coordinator
Gary Mathesz expressed the loader is used on a regular basis and is key to township function. Mathesz added there is nothing wrong with the current 2014 loader, but both the loader and attachments are showing wear. Mathesz agreed with Township Manager Brent Green that rotating equipment out while they still hold value is a good thing. Manager Green identified the cost for replacing the loader and all existing attachments would be $244,670.79, which includes pallets, material ending arm, forks, standard bucket side dump, hook, power angle broom, broom kit, and adapter for machine. A motion was made to move forward with the purchase to replace capital equipment at the quoted prices and was amended to be contingent on the quoted trade-in value of current equip-
ment and attachments. Both were approved unanimously, but the township will not see the equipment until spring 2023. The Public Works Department is looking to purchase a new Massey Ferguson Diamond boom mower. The proposed equipment purchase includes a Massey Ferguson Tractor, a Tiger mid-mount 75” flail mower, and a Tiger rear-mount 96” flail mower with freight and dealer preparation for a total of $147,347, which does not include any trade-in values. The contract price for the tractor alone would be for $86,829.05. Manager Green explained that the township would be taking the money for the equipment out of capital funds that are already budgeted out in the township’s
revolving equipment loan fund. The township will not have to pay interest on the equipment’s payment plan because they will not be going through a bank. This estimated cost of the new tractor is roughly what the township paid for the last multi-purpose tractor’s full set-up, which includes the tractor, boom mower, side flail, and rear flail. Manager Green added that he will also have to check on the trade-in value of the current tractor. The board decided to table the discussion on the proposed tractor and flail mower purchases to allow Manager Green to gather comparative quotes. In other business, the board unanimously approved the recommendation to approve a proposal for basketball court surface
restoration at Bicentennial Park with Pavement Maintenance Contractor’s Proposal Park in the amount of $25,450 and the recommendation to approve the pavement maintenance contractor’s proposal for two tennis courts in Bicentennial Park for the amount of $31,890. When the board opened the floor up for public comments, resident Sharon Fournier asked the supervisors, “What is the status of Locust Road?” Township Engineer James Milot responded that the contractor had done temporary patching on the road six months ago. “They are supposed to return to do the final patching, but we haven’t seen them come back yet.” Milot added that he raised concerns with PennDOT about this last week, and he anticipates a response soon. Fournier also asked the board what the status is of trucks parkContinued on page 12

The Pennsylvania Longrifle... and You! Saturday, May 28 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. In this seminar, guest speaker Dave Ehrig will explore the roots of our state’s iconic new symbol. From humble frontier roots, an evolution of gunmaking technology took place, the rifled barrel. While Henry of Lancaster, along with other Lancaster gunsmiths like Matthias Roesser, George Fainot, Jacob Dickert, and others were among the first to exploit the legendary accuracy of long rifled barrels, the Henry family’s fame would increase as the technology was brought to the Moravian Societies in Christian’s Spring, Nazareth, and Boulton. To hold an early Andreas Albrecht, Christian Oerter, or Wm. Henry Jr. longrifle in one’s hands is to create such an indelible memory of Pennsylvania history that it causes many skilled modern longrifle builders to attempt to recreate them. This program will raise your spirits and enlighten your pride in the Keystone State and its iconic
gun. Registration is required.

Unsolicited Voter Registration And mailIn ballot Applications
Submitted by BECKY BARTLETT The Northampton County Elections Office reports that outside groups are mailing unsolicited voter registration and mail-in ballot applications to citizens in Northampton County. In some cases, the applications are partially filled out with the citizen’s information. These mailings are causing confusion among those voters who have already filled out an application and are scheduled to receive a mail-in ballot for the Primary Election. The Elections Office issued the
following statement: “We want the public to know that the Elections Office does not send out unsolicited applications. These mailings have generated a great deal of confusion. Anyone who receives an unsolicited application should check the ‘Paid by’ notice to see which group sent it.” Groups which have sent out unsolicited applications include the Center for Voter Information and the Voter Participation Center. The letters have a code near the bottom that can be used to email the organizations and be removed from their mailing list: unsubscribe@centerforvoterinformation.org or unsubscribe@ voterparticipation.org. Mail-in and Absentee ballots for Northampton County residents started being mailed out on April 22. Voters can check their registration status and the status of their ballot at vote.pa.gov. Ballots must be returned to the Elections Office by 8 p.m. on May 17 in order to be counted.
Ballots can be returned via the U.S. mail, directly to the Elections Office at 669 Washington St., Easton, PA or in one of the County’s four secure ballot dropoff boxes. Voters are reminded to only drop off their own ballot. To drop off someone else’s ballot you must have a “Certification of Designated Agent” form on file at the Elections Office. The four secure ballot drop-off boxes are located at: Rotunda of the Government Center – 669 Washington St., Easton, PA 18042 • Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Human Services Building – 2801 Emrick Blvd., Bethlehem, PA 18020 • Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Northampton County 911 Center – 100 Gracedale Ave., Nazareth, PA 18064 • Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Bethlehem City Hall – 10 E.

ing on Silver Crest Road. Township Manager Green stated the township can assess a $100 summary offense ticket to drivers parked there for obstructing the roadway, but ultimately, this doesn’t solve the problem of the trucks being there. Chairperson Unangst proposed, “Let’s go to the magistrate and see what we can do.” Solicitor Joe Piperato chimed in that the township would have to establish that a condition of the land development plan has been violated to pursue legal action against the company allowing drivers to park there. To move forward, Engineer Milot will need to pull files on review letters to see the specific conditions outlined in the approval letter and land development plan, and Solicitor Piperato will need to file a complaint against the company on a land condition violation with the magistrate. Chairperson Unangst made a motion to authorize township professionals and administrative staff to deal with the parking issue on Silver Crest Road, which was approved unanimously. In other news, Supervisor Chris Cruz announced the signs came in for the Open Space Plan and that if any residents would like one, they can pick one up at the municipal building. For more

The next East Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be on Wednesday, May 11 at 7 p.m. at the East Allen Township Municipal Building, located at 5344 Nor-Bath Blvd.

Migrating Motor Complex
by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
I would like to take some liberty here in that everyone at some point has heard their stomach “growl.” Have you ever wondered what it was exactly? Most would perhaps state that whatever the sounds erupting from the gut are, they can be embarrassing or better said, a little awkward in the wrong setting. Personally, I find that my stomach will make “those sounds” when two criteria are met: when I am having a higher carbohydrate diet and when I am hungry. When I am consuming a higher protein and clean fats diet, “those sounds” occur much less. These gut sounds by and large may be due to the cyclical patterns of motility that are occurring in our stomach and intestines, much like when our dryers are on a wrinkle free setting that turns the tumbler off and on at intervals. While this may seem like an odd comparison, this is what I envision the Migrating Motor Complex likened to. From what we understand, the Migrating Motor Complex does its job in approximately four phases that occur during a 60 to 120-minute cycle, give or take. Perhaps the phases may be longer depending on food consumption. To the point, when you are in between meals for a length of time, the autonomic nervous system and its wiring to the gut will, at intervals, jump start peristalsis or motility within the intestines. Said another way, the inner tubing will “wave through” in cycles.
The former Howell home, located in Allen Township. Photo by Larry Oberly. This has always amazed me and the health implications of such appear to be beneficial. I will state that as much as we may know about the MMC, there is truly much we do not. An example is wondering how much nerves control the on/ off of the MMC versus perhaps hormonal influence such as Motilin or Leptin. As stated, we do know that during times that food content is reduced, this intestinal movement will occur. This could lead to that growling stomach and perhaps hunger that we experience. Quite interesting if you are into this type of thing. Let’s say you are performing intermittent fasting and suddenly

you hear and feel the MMC randomly kick on, then off. What is occurring? Well, it is believed that this transient motility facilitates movement of left-over debris from the stomach and small intestine into the large, and of course, hopefully, out the door soon enough. If this is valid in any manner, then wouldn’t it be prudent, better yet advisable, to foster an environment where on regular intervals you intentionally help the MMC to kick in and scrape out left behind particulates et al that would arguably stay residing inside otherwise? Perhaps this is a benefit of fasting here. This action is clearly important as nobody wants a small intestinal bowel disorder (SIBO) and this MMC system helps to sweep bacteria along. Consider this function as the housekeeper sweeping out the small intestine. What appears to be another interesting take is that excessive cortisol inhibits the MMC from doing its job. This is relevant in that chronic stress can and does elevate circulating cortisol- another example of how stress can truly impact our bodies. Does the MMC work while we sleep? All indications point that it does. Herein is another example where you may want to consider a food cut off time at night to allow for an overnight fast. That said, perhaps eating the last tasty morsels as you climb into bed may not be that good for us after all.
