Discussion begins for dedication of Sleepy Hollow Road
By KERI LINDENMUTH Residents of Bath who live along Sleepy Hollow Road gathered in the Bath Municipal Building on Wednesday, November 9, to discuss plans that would dedicate the private drive to the borough. Officials recently discovered that Sleepy Hollow Road was never dedicated to the borough. As a result, no state funds can currently go toward the repair of the road. In addition, if the road remains private, the borough will be unable to plow it in the win-

ter, despite having done so previously, which will leave the road’s 12 property owners to fend for themselves. Six of those property owners and all of Bath councilmembers came together to discuss the issue and begin planning for the road’s possible dedication. The major goal of the meeting, councilmembers clarified, was to gauge the opinions of residents at a concept level and move on from there. Some residents expressed frustration at being caught off guard by the news earlier this year. The borough, they explained, always took care of the road. Councilmembers understood their frustration. “We are trying to right that wrong now,” explained Borough Manager Brad Flynn. During the discussion, all resi-
dents present seemed to be in agreement with the road dedication, as long as two stipulations were met: that no sidewalks be installed along the sides of the road and that the road not be made a through-street. While council agreed that these conditions are not unreasonable, Assistant Borough Solicitor James Kratz did warn that, if residents “want this [the dedication] to happen, there is going to be some change.” In order for the dedication to be approved, the decision must be unanimous with all 12 property owners in agreement. As winter approaches, residents and council will work hard to move forward with the dedication. Said Mayor Fiorella Mirabito: “This should be done sooner rather than later.”
East Allen Township Sets conditions on VerTek construction By JUSTIN SWEITZER The East Allen Township Board of Supervisors met on Wednesday, Nov. 9, approving VerTek Construction Management’s warehouse development project at the intersection of Airport Road and Route 329. A continuation of their meeting on Oct. 12, the board debated and solidified restrictions VerTek will have to abide by when constructing the warehouse under the rules of conditional use. Traffic was the number one concern of the township’s supervisors, leading the board to take multiple steps to try and reduce the amount of traffic the warehouse will cause. According to the board, VerTek must conduct a traffic study which will confirm that daily traffic will not exceed 305 cars and 31 tractor trailers, effectively capping the amount of traffic that will travel through the property. Additionally, single-side loading docks will be limited to 42 on the warehouse’s southern side. James Milot, of Hanover Engineering, discussed the conditions in detail, saying that VerTek will have to provide safety improvements to the township and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation regarding traffic. “The developer will provide safety improvements and traffic congestion mitigation to offset and mitigate those traffic, safety
and congestion impacts,” he said. “This traffic study and design of any traffic, safety and congestion improvements should be subject to the review and approval of the township and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.” The board also stressed that there is to be “no parking, loading, staging or queuing” anywhere off of the premises, particularly forbidding such activity on Airport Road and Route 329. Trucks will be unable to turn right onto Route 329, as VerTek will have to provide construction to restrict trucks weighing over 26,000 pounds from making that right-hand turn. 26,000 pounds is the current weight restriction posting on the Jacksonville Road Bridge, which East Allen Supervisors were wary of as they came to the truckingrelated restrictions. Another crucial facet introduced by the board was the implementation of a berm to reduce disturbances emanating from the warehouse into residential areas. Milot said that VerTek “will provide for a continuous 100 ft. wide berm or its equivalent of adequate height along the southerly and easterly perimeter from Airport Road to Route 329 to mitigate sight, sound and light from leaving the site.” According to the board, VerTek will be notified of the board’s decision in writing by Nov. 28.

years, this great old lady has acquired quite a reputation. According to Jacobsburg, by Charles Sandwick Sr., she was known as the Asylum because temporary haven was given to young couples dismissed from the Nazareth Moravian Church for dating without consent. In 1815, the Asylum became the permanent home to a brother-inlaw of the builder when his daughter became pregnant out of wedlock, requiring them to leave Nazareth. Since the baby was born and raised here, the Asylum has also been known as a Home for Wayward Girls. There are four working fireplaces the original cooking fireplace in the basement, fireplaces in the dining room and living room, and one in a bedroom. The floors, for the most part, are the original random width plank floors. Note the original staircase - its construction is typical of the late 1700s and early 1800s. The home was purchased in 2006 after it was listed on the Internet. The homeowners fell in love with the house, while also appreciating the fact that it had air conditioning and some land. They have fulfilled a long time dream by creating a winery. Besides planting grape vines, the homeowners have made plumbing repairs, air-conditioning and heat pump installations, furnace work and well/water pump repairs. House tour tickets are $20 if purchased in advance, or $25 on the day of the tour. Tickets are available for purchase at the following locations: -Bath Drug, 310 S. Walnut St., Bath. -S.

Five tips from Bahama Breeze
“Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya to Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama…” Wait, did I say the Bahamas? That song reminds me of the restaurant my kids took us to this weekend… Bahama Breeze in King of Prussia. As you pull up, you actually believe you are at the beach. When you enter the front door a classy young lady smiles and says, “Hello, can I help you, how many in your party?” They take us to a big table and within seconds a gentleman dressed with his logoed shirt says, “Hi folks, my name is Drew. Have you ever been here before?” We tell him we haven’t and he tells us that this is his first time too. We break into laughter and he tells us that he is actually from another store and was brought in to help that day. “How about drinks?” We began to order appetizers and he recommended the “coke and rum ribs” along with guacamole and seafood quesadillas. The drinks arrived within four minutes; the guacamole showed up
one minute later, and the ribs and quesadillas only took three more minutes. Each item was delivered by a new person smiling tremendously. The ribs were outrageous, just as Drew said they would be. Shortly following the apps, our meals arrived. Jerk Chicken, Crab and Avocado Salad, and Shrimp and Mahi Bowl. Drew asked how we like everything and we, of course, collectively said everything was amazing. As we were finishing, we started to hear music. They had a live beach band. My little granddaughter began to dance, we sang along and it was the icing on the cake.
So what can a small business learn from this restaurant?

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip After a really tough election campaign, we will have a new president come January 20. Nobody much gave Donald Trump a chance, but he pulled it off. Now let’s hope our people will come together and support our country. One gal said the weather was great on Tuesday, but it
rained on Wednesday, believing God was crying. . . . I could’ve sworn that the super moon we had on Sunday and Monday nights had a smile on the Old Man in the Moon’s face. Maybe we’re in for some good times. . . .Veterans Day was a quiet celebration over the weekend in the Bath area. Marcia Hahn did her part out in Harrisburg, and Mayor Fi had folks in Bath turn on green lights to honor all veterans. They deserve all the honors they get for the sacrifices they and their families go through. I salute every one of them!! The Bath Legion post had a special treat for them, like they do every Veterans Day. . . .I see Bath Council is debating whether or not to make the Thirst Quenchers into a municipal building. Seems to me that it would cost a lot to renovate into offices, but maybe they can do it cheaper with their own workers. A while back they were talking about renovating or fixing up what they have now in the old Bath Public School or constructing a new building. Reckon it will take a lot of head scratching before they decide on any move, one way or the other. I like the museum where it is. But that’s one person’s opinion. . . .Those Philadelphia Eagles put everything together and beat the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. It was something most fans didn’t think would happen, but they played like a team with a strong running game. Like that Carson Wentz a lot, too. He does a great job for a rookie! If only he had some better receivers. Now it’s on to Seattle and Green Bay, no slouches those two either. . . . Fire company auxiliaries have been busy making stuffing for turkeys to save Mom a little time when she makes her Thanksgiving meal next Thursday. Stuffing is a Pa. Dutch treat, I think, and one most folks enjoy. . . .I see the theater people at Northampton High School are putting on the play, “It’s A Wonderful Life,” this Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. That movie has been one of my favorites over the years as Jimmy Stewart had a savings company that lost money by mistake and an angel from Heaven came down to save the day for everybody. Oughta be fun watching the local version. . . . If I don’t think of it next week, I’ll say it now: Have a wonderful family Thanksgiving Day everybody!! And may Northampton’s Konkrete Kids beat those Catty Rough Riders.

Home Improvement
Put A Great New Face On Your Fireplace
(NAPSI)—Here’s a hot tip from decorating experts: A small change can have a big effect on the look of a room. For example, consider refacing your fireplace. It’s as easy to do as changing your kitchen countertops—and with today’s natural thin stone veneers, it’s also cost effective. That’s because when you’re looking for materials that are beautiful, durable and versatile, natural thin stone veneer can be a surprisingly affordable choice, which can even help to raise the resale value of your home. From the Pyramids to the Parthenon, natural stone has long provided aspirational design and durability. Now, natural thin stone veneer can be cut from 100 percent natural quarried stone... so even a thin slice offers some of the same durability, low maintenance and aesthetic qualities of the thicker version.
In addition, natural thin stone veneer is widely available. Because of its reduced weight, natural thin stone veneer is extremely versatile. It requires no additional foundation support and installs, often easily, over existing rigid materials such as brick and concrete block, turning a small remodeling project into one with impressive design results. Ninety-degree angles that can be cut from full-thickness stones are used in corner applications, concealing the true thickness of the stone. The overall cost-effective result is a unique fireplace that looks like a traditional full-thickness installation. Natural thin stone veneer is available in a multitude of stone types, including limestone, granite, bluestone, sandstone and quartzite, and is available in a wide variety of styles, textures, cuts and colors, making it easy
to integrate into existing design schemes from modern to traditional. What’s more, unlike its manmade counterparts, natural thin stone veneer doesn’t fade in color, so your fireplace will maintain its lasting beauty. Because custom or one-of-akind products often come with a hefty price tag, homeowners are generally unwilling to splurge on renovations. However, because stone is a natural, nonmanufactured product, no two pieces are exactly alike—offering a custom look every time. Natural thin stone veneer makes this opportunity one step more convenient, as it gives you the custom-made look in a most cost-efficient application. For those who are eco conscious, natural thin stone veneer offers many sustainable attributes. It is also virtually maintenance-free, which will al-
low you to spend less time worrying and more time enjoying your “new” fireplace with family and friends. Learn More

By JUSTIN SWEITZER The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors decided at their Nov. 8 meeting that they will offer a reward to any person who provides information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for vandalizing Delps Park. The reward, which was suggested to be around $1,000, was suggested by board member Keith Hantz who also advocated for signs at both Delps Park and Berlinsville Park to discourage and prevent vandalism within the township’s parks. Chairman Darryl Snover said Delps Park has suffered lawn damage from vehicles being driven on the grass, leading the board to take action to try and prevent future cases of vandalism. The implementation of a reward and signs was viewed as a short term measure, while the board also discussed long term solutions to the problem. Police Chief Scott Fogel said the township should consider installing closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras at the parks, which would allow them to be monitored by the police department around the clock. Fogel also said that the cameras would allow officers to access the surveillance feed in their police vehicles, allowing for quicker response time to potential crimes. “There’s some serious benefit to that,” Fogel said. “They’re very effective, and they’re very helpful. It’s something to think about.” In other business, the board also discussed the design of the township’s proposed maintenance building. They expressed interest in the design of a similar building in Nazareth. Hantz suggested that the township should form a committee responsible for compiling design ideas for the maintenance building. After coming up with a draft, the committee will then present their ideas to the board who will make a decision on it. The board also said that the amount of zoning requests has slowed as of late, as the board had received no zoning applications throughout the month of November up to that point. The next Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be held on Nov. 22 at 7 p.m.
My Dad was a water well driller all his life. He started when he was 14, hanging around the quarry near his home where they were drilling through the limestone. He hung around so much that the drillers put him to work, carrying tools and lifting blocking. In 1916, he was drafted into WWI and spent several months in France, but that is another story. When he returned from Europe, he and his two brothers formed a well drilling business. Charles, Alvin and Daddy drilled water wells in the area for many years. In 1950, Daddy bought out his brothers and worked the drill by himself with the help of my mother. My experience with this operation began when I was in grade school. Whenever Daddy finished a well and moved his rig to another jobsite, Mother and I would load the pickup truck with all the blocking that was needed to level the rig. Daddy would lower the derrick, tie up all the loose tools and away we would go to the next jobsite. Daddy would lead the way with the big old drill rig and we would follow with the loaded down pick-up truck. Sometimes a tool would fall off the rig and we would stop and pick it up.
Sometimes Daddy would use the turn signal and forget to turn it off and he would drive for miles with the signal blinking and blinking. Because he was hard of hearing, it would do no good to toot the horn to indicate he should turn off the signal. We would then pull up to the new jobsite and Daddy would raise the derrick and get set up to behind drilling for water. I enjoyed seeing the bit break through the sod or topsoil to begin the search for water. Then we would go back home to get me ready for school. Daddy drilled wells until he was 81 years old.

Anderson Campus Celebrates five Years of growth Submitted by MARIELLA MILLER St. Luke’s Anderson Campus in Bethlehem Township celebrated five years of exceptional service to the community since it officially opened its doors on Nov. 11, 2011. The $175-million construction project transformed 500 acres of farmland into a hospital campus that now treats and heals members of the community, and helps them to maintain their good health. At the time it was built, the St. Luke’s Anderson Campus was the first new, full-service, acute-care hospital built in Pennsylvania in 40 years. It features a 250,000-square foot, 108-bed hospital; a state-of-the-art cancer center; and a medical office building dedicated to bone and

joint, heart and vascular, women’s health and primary care medicine. And much like the crops that were once located on this site, St. Luke’s Anderson Campus has been poised to grow. Overwhelming demand was the primary driver for early expansion. In 2013, the hospital expanded its Emergency Department by doubling the number of treatment rooms and tripling the staff. Seventeen new private rooms were added to the space, as well as a new CT scanner and diagnostic X-ray. That same year, the St. Luke's Anderson Campus opened a newly-outfitted medical/surgical floor, increasing the number of private patient rooms from 72 to 108 and adding four ICU rooms. The fourth floor addition provides specialized care for oncology patients. St. Luke’s also invested in amenities such as the Anderson Campus Auxiliary Gardens, a two-mile walking path, a pond with a fountain, and a gazebo sitting area surrounded by beautiful landscaping. St. Luke’s mission is to be excellent stewards of the land. Staying true to its mission, it honored the past by restoring a 19th century barn now used as Continued on page 15

Sing with Thanksgiving
The Bible commands, “Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving” (Psalm 147:7). What would Thanksgiving be like without hymns such as “Great is Thy Faithfulness” and “Count Your Many Blessings?” Songs like these encourage us to focus on the Lord as the source of our life. Samuel said, “...consider how great things he hath done for you” (1 Samuel 12:24). God has given us innumerable spiritual and material blessings for which we owe Him bountiful thanks. Even if we had nothing materially for which we could thank Him, we owe the Lord our most earnest thanks for providing our salvation! As a result of pondering the Lord’s goodness to us, expressions of gratitude to the Lord spring from our hearts and give us every cause to sing with thanksgiving! Jesus said, “…out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” (Matthew 12:34). Thanksgiving flows from humble, grateful hearts full of thoughts about God’s goodness and breaks forth into joyous singing of choruses such as, “I will sing and praise the Lord for He is so good!” That leads to singing “God Is So Good” and then to other Thanksgiving choruses such as “Thank You, Lord,” “Jesus, I Just Want To Thank You,” “That Is Why I’m Thankful,” and many more! When our hearts overflow with gratitude to God, it is easy to obey the command to "…be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God…" (Eph.5:18-20). I invite you to join us in any of our services as we sing with Thanksgiving to God to express our appreciation for all He has done for us.

Law Enforcement, PennDOT focus on Seat-Belt Use, Impaired Driving as Holiday Travel period begins
Submitted by SEAN BROWN The Pennsylvania State Police and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invite parents and caregivers to make this holiday season a safer one by taking advantage of free car seat checks across the state that will complement the nationwide Click It or Ticket “Operation Safe Holiday” enforcement effort occurring from November 20 through December 4. Troopers and other department members certified as Child Passenger Safety Technicians will conduct no-cost car seat fittings, at various locations from November 14 through November 27, no appointment necessary. Car seats will be checked for suitability, and participants will receive instruction on proper installation and child restraint. For a complete list of child passenger seat fitting stations, please visit www. psp.pa.gov. “Seat-belts and child passenger safety seats save lives when used properly,” said Major Edward Hoke, Director, Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Patrol. “Troopers will be issuing citations for seat-belt and child seat violations as part of the enforcement effort, but other focuses of ‘Operation Safe Holiday’ are education
conference space. But the patient is still the heart of the Anderson Campus. Stateof-the-art facilities, the latest technology, and great healthcare providers complement abundant amenities, including private suites with spectacular views, flat-screen TVs, free WiFi, daily newspaper delivery, iPads, room service and much more to ensure an outstanding patient experience. Through its partnership with The Rodale Institute, in 2013 the Anderson Campus opened the third hospital-based organic farm in the United States. It provides patients and employees with locally grown organic produce,
putting its commitment to the health of its community and the environment into practice. It also designated a 20,000 square foot parcel of land as its Employee Community Garden, where St. Luke’s University Health Network (SLUHN) employees can grow their own produce. The Anderson Campus was designed to accommodate the needs of the community—now and into the future. In 2017, it will open a new Ambulatory Surgery Center that will house additional operating rooms and practices that focus on specialty services, such as urology and women’s health. The St. Luke's Anderson Campus has been built on fertile ground and is well-equipped to continue to grow.

It’s never too late to add a little excitement to your Life
(Left and Center) Marilyn Brewster on the zipline, (Right) Marilyn Brewster and Matt Matejcek back on solid ground.
submitted by LIZ BRANDL Have you ever wished you could see the fall foliage from a bird’s point of view? Add some speed and you have the makings of a wonderful, never to be forgotten experience. Moravian Hall Square resi-
dent Marilyn Brewster has always wanted to zipline. As part of Moravian Hall Square’s Never Too Late program she got to experience it when she travelled to Camelback Mountain Outdoor Adventures in Tannersville to cross ziplining off her bucket list.
87-year-old Marilyn has lived at the retirement community in Nazareth, PA since 2004, which is also the year she started volunteering at the community. Since then Marilyn has racked up 2,675 volunteer hours, whether she is heading the Beautification Days program, heading committees, attending meetings or visiting residents in Health Care. Always a busy lady, and when staff invited residents to submit their Never Too Late wishes, Marilyn submitted her wish to
zipline and was chosen to have her wish come true. She enjoyed the added challenge of riding the 4000 ft. Dual Zip Line alongside Matt Matejcek, Moravian Hall Square’s Senior Director of Environmental Services, as they raced to see who would make it to the bottom first. Marilyn and Matt were cheered on by residents and staff from Moravian Hall Square. Marilyn was then presented with a gift bag of goodies from Camelback Mountain Outdoor Adven-
tures and enjoyed lunch at the mountain before returning to Nazareth. Morningstar Senior Living, Inc. owns and operates Moravian Hall Square, a Life Care Community in Nazareth; Senior Solutions a home care and certified care management business; and Heritage Village, a new active adult community to be built in Upper Nazareth Township.

tions, law enforcement will conduct seat belt and impaired driving enforcement simultaneously because unbelted and impaired driving crashes are shown to be significant contributors to traffic injuries and deaths, especially during nighttime hours According to PennDOT data, during the Thanksgiving holiday travel period in 2015, including the weekend before and after the holiday as well as the day itself, there were 4,029 crashes and 45 fatalities in those crashes statewide. The Christmas and New Year’s travel periods, including the weekend before Christmas, New Year’s and the weekend after, saw 4,985 crashes and 46 fatalities. Additionally, during the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s holidays last year, 1,209 of the statewide crashes involved a driver impaired by drugs or alcohol, with 38 fatalities in those crashes. In that same period, there were 1,076 crashes
with unbuckled occupants, with 48 fatalities in those crashes. Officials also encouraged travelers to use the SaferRide app. The app, developed in 2014 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in an effort to curb drunk driving, is available for free download on Android and Apple devices and is a great option to facilitate a safe ride home after you’ve been drinking. Once the app is downloaded, you can use it to call a taxi or a friend by identifying your location so you can be picked up. The holiday seat-belt and DUI enforcement are funded by part of PennDOT’s statewide distribution of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration enforcement monies this federal fiscal year. For more information on PennDOT’s highway safety efforts visit, www.penndot.gov/ safety. The public can join the discussion using the hashtag #PASafeHoliday.

and prevention.” Under Pennsylvania law, children under the age of four must be properly restrained in an approved child safety seat. A new provision, signed into law this summer, mandates that children under two-years-old be secured in a rear-facing car seat. Children from age four to age eight must use an appropriate booster seat. Children ages eight to 18 must wear a seat-belt when riding anywhere in a vehicle and all drivers and front-seat passengers 18-years-old and older are required to buckle up. “Part of PennDOT’s mission is to educate the public on safety concerns and encourage them to do the right thing to protect themselves and their families, PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards said. “This holiday season we’ll work with law enforcement to urge travelers to always buckle up and never drive impaired by drugs or alcohol.” During enforcement opera-
