Veterans in Northampton Honored in annual service

Looking by Back Ed Pany Coal to War, part 4 of 6

By KERI LINDENMUTH Veterans in Northampton and across the country were honored in a moving Veteran’s Day service hosted by the Northampton Joint Veterans Organization on Saturday, November 13. Despite the slight drizzle and cold chill, residents from the borough came out to join in the service, including members of VFW Post 4714, American Legion Post 353, and Catholic War Veterans Post 454. “[We honor] the 20 million veterans…those who have borne the burden of battle so that others may live peacefully,” said Post 4714 Commander Larry Schlittler. “You deserve every single bit of recognition you receive.”

The service opened with the

ringing of the Veteran’s Bell eleven times to symbolize the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month when the armistice became effective during World War I. Joan Glover then performed the National Anthem before honoring the POW/ MIA veterans with the White Table Ceremony. This ceremony, which features a symbolic white table and lone, empty chair, asks those listening to honor those who cannot join in the festivities and remember America’s missing veterans until the day they come home.

The ceremony’s special guest was State Representative Zach Mako, a fellow veteran.

Out of more than 300 million

Americans only 17.4 million, or 5% of the population, are veterans, he said.

He thanked those veterans for their “deep and selfless commitment to the idea we call America…when others have turned away.”

Rep. Mako also thanked the families of veterans.

“They are serving too…whether they like it or not,” he said.

The service ended with a 21gun salute, the playing of TAPS, a performance of “Amazing Grace” on the bagpipes by Eugene Kutlzer, and a prayer for departed comrades.

The Joint Veterans Organization will reunite again for another service on Memorial Day.

TOY RAFFLE

By CHRISTINA SANTO Moore Elementary held their Veterans Day program on Nov. 11 despite a smaller turnout than normal due to COVID-19. Elementary school math teacher Katy Dremock started the event years ago due to the countless veterans in her family.

Veterans were treated to breakfast courtesy of Amarak, and were given a Moore Elementary hat featuring “Proud Veteran” on the back. Then, the day started at 8:45 a.m. with veterans greeting students as they entered the

building.

Sing for America, an organization whose “initial and continued mission is to raise money for our local hero’s family serving in the Nation's Military,” performed at the opening ceremony after the Palmerton American Legion presented the flags of the United States and each military branch.

Throughout the day, students moved through various classrooms where veterans discussed their experiences in the military, showed pictures and videos, and

answered questions.

Pennsylvania State Representative Zach Mako was one of at least 15 presenters.

Mako joined the PA National Guard in 2008, and was deployed to Afghanistan in December 2012 as a Chinook helicopter pilot for nine months supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.

In 2019, he was deployed to the Middle East again to serve as part of Operation Freedom’s Sentinel.

Inside the Federal-style home, the ladies will have the table set for Christmas dinner. Kathleen Coddington will provide a typical menu for the holiday feast. Festival goers are invited to taste a few of the items – eggnog, fruit cake, ginger cake, pound cake. The cakes back then had very little icing since sugar was so expensive.

The ladies will also decorate the rooms with period 1861-65 decorations. Some will be working on their needlework, and others will be cloving oranges.

One of the favorite activities at the festival is hearth cooking.

There are only two times a year when you can observe, and taste this 1800s activity – the Holiday History Festival and the Antiques Show in March. Potato pie, sausage simmered in apple cider, soup, apple cranberry cobbler, and rosemary cake are some of the dishes you can watch them create, cook and taste. A softcover booklet is available with many of the recipes they will be using at the festival.

In the meantime, get ready for the holidays and sign up for one of the society's Fresh Wreath Classes. You will learn how to make a 24” fresh evergreen wreath with the trimmings of your choice. In the Historic Wolf Academy, you may bring your cookies, wine, etc. while you learn to create a professional and beautiful fresh wreath for your door. All wreath supplies are provided -mixed fresh greens, wreath form, ribbons, cones, and other decorations. There are still a few seats available in two classes: Saturday, November 27 from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. Questions and reservations, call Linda Kortz at 610-905-0007.

Stories From My Heart

By Cynthia DeLuca Mind Over Matter

I love to tell stories that touch people's hearts. That is why I write. Hearing someone say, "Your story was exactly what I needed to hear," makes my heart soar. I have written over 100 short stories, four children's books, two short story collections, and am now working on a novel titled “Chipped and Mismatched.” It is based on my teacup series. Five years ago, I started writing the “Skyler Letters” as a way of helping me deal with the grief of losing my greatgrandson.

My love of words started back when I was a little girl growing up on a small farm. Over the years, Mom shared with me how much she enjoyed listening to my stories. Especially those I said to the many kittens that gathered near the back-porch stoop.

My love of words has never stopped. However, this morning, when I got up, a feeling came over me that I could not shake.

It stayed with me all through

So, the first home improvement project to tackle this fall should be cleaning your gutters and installing gutter guards to protect them from additional debris, ensuring there will be less work to do next year.

Moore Township TED’S ROOFING Leaf Collection Program The Moore Township leaf collection program will begin on or about the week of October 26th and will continue for the next eight weeks (depending on conditions). Actual collection will commence when a sufficient amount of leaves have fallen to warrant dispatching the collection equipment.

With the continuing increase in volume of leaves it has become impossible to guarantee a specific pick-up day for any one location. There will be multiple trips through neighborhoods for the duration of the collection program; therefore, if the leaves are not in place when the crew goes by, they will be picked up on the next rotation. This schedule is subject to inclement weather, mechanical breakdowns, and Township Emergencies making it necessary to temporarily delay pick-up.

THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES MUST BE FOLLOWED 1. Leaves cannot be collected on private roads.

2. LEAVES ONLY shall be raked to the edge of the roadway.

3. Leaf piles shall be kept off the roadways.

4. Leaf piles must be free of sticks and other foreign materials.

5. Mow There really is no reason to rake all the leaves off your lawn. If you run over them with a mower, they'll break down over the winter, providing your soil with nutrients and suppressing weeds. If you do this once a week until the leaves have finished falling, you likely won't have to rake a single leaf, and your lawn will look better for it next spring and summer. However, keep in mind this requires a mulching lawnmower, which cuts grass clippings into small enough pieces that can be left on the lawn rather than being collected and bagged. The same design works with leaves. Most modern lawnmowers have mulching capability, and older mowers can be conLicense #a verted to mulchers by installing PA003267 mulching blade.

East Allen Supervisors reject Atiyeh request, approve 2022 Budget for advertisement

By KERI LINDENMUTH During their November 10 meeting, the East Allen Township Supervisors rejected the request by developer Abraham Atiyeh to change zoning ordinance language that would allow agequalified housing on 25 acres.

On October 28, Atiyeh presented his case for this text amendment. Current zoning requires a minimum of 50 acres for age-qualified housing, but Atiyeh said allowing his development

alongside the existing Toll Brothers development could create a “cluster” of retirement communities. Should the text amendment be approved, Atiyeh requested to rezone his land from industrial to agricultural-residential.

Supervisor Chris Cruz made the motion to reject the amendment and Supervisor Georgiann Hunsicker seconded the motion.

All supervisors voted to reject the amendment except Supervisor Roger Unangst.

With this rejection, Atiyeh withdrew his request to rezone his property from planned commercial to agricultural-residential.

In other news, supervisors voted to table their joint-municipal letter to state representatives. Ten municipalities around Northampton County are asking representatives in Harrisburg to reject a request to open up the state’s Municipal Planning Code to prevent developers and lobbyists from potentially changing the code.

Supervisors determined that time would be better spent focusing on the River Central Comprehensive Plan. Township manager Brent Green predicts the plan will be ready for implementation by next year.

“Overall, we are going in a smooth direction,” he told supervisors.

Supervisors also approved an extension for the Escrow Agreement for Nor-Bath Lot 1. The property needs final landscaping, but developers said they are having supply issues acquiring trees and seeds. The previous deadline was October 31, but supervisors agreed to extend the escrow to December 31. The property will still require inspection by engineers.

Finally, supervisors approved the 2022 budget for advertisement. The budget comes with no real estate tax increase. For 16 years, there has been no tax increase in the township.

The total budget is $2.6 million and includes reserve funds for a new fire truck. Supervisors are expected to approve the budget during their December 8 meeting.

Mako Bill to open up employment opportunities For veterans and spouses passes House Submitted by TRACY POLOVICK The House last week approved legislation written by Rep. Zach Mako (R-Lehigh/Northampton) that would help to remove obstacles for veterans and their spouses transitioning to civilian work.

House Bill 1868, which is supported by a bipartisan group of legislators, would make it easier for veterans and their spouses to obtain state licensure.

“This legislation is just a small way to thank those who served in the military and their spouses for their sacrifice and service,” Mako said. “As a member of the Pennsylvania National Guard, I know firsthand the challenges these men and women face returning to civilian life. This change will assist them in finding employment.”

“As Chair of the House Professional Licensure Committee, I believe it is important to review our existing licensing requirements and processes by our state

licensing boards and commissions, and look at ways to improve these processes,” said Rep. Dave Hickernell (R-Lancaster/ Dauphin). “House Bill 1868 is an important step in this direction to reduce barriers for our veterans, service members and military spouses in obtaining an occupational license in Pennsylvania.”

More specifically, the bill would: • Require the licensing board to expedite application review for veterans and military spouses, and waive the initial licensure fee for military spouses traveling to Pennsylvania.

• Consider military experience when determining if an applicant meets qualifications.

• Use the Military Occupational Codes Crosswalk to help translate military experience into civilian licensure requirements.

• Allow for early submission for licensure renewals for military members being deployed to allow

them to immediately resume employment upon return.

• Increase the presence of veterans and military spouses on licensing boards and commissions.

• Require the board to issue an expedited temporary license to service members, veterans and their spouses.

“I want to thank my fellow members for working with me to get this bill across the finish line the House. This bill will help veterans, service members and their families as they transition to civilian life, smoothing the path for them to join the workforce or start their own businesses,” said Rep. Jake Wheatley (D-Allegheny), who is Democratic chair of the Processional Licensure Committee and a Marine veteran.

“With the media so often focusing on the differences between Democrats and Republicans, it is an excellent example of how we are working together. I also want to thank the executive directors of the Processional Licensure Committee, Marlene Wilson, Esq., for her drafting and coordination and Nicole Sidle for her cooperation.”

“Men and women in the armed forces put their lives on hold to serve our nation, but many face a tough time transitioning to the civilian workforce despite having highly marketable skills,” said Rep. Chris Sainato (DLawrence), who is Democratic chairman of the House Veterans Affairs and Emergency Prepared-

Criminal mischief

Nathan Sigafoos, 21 of Stockertown, has been charged with Criminal Mischief and Disorderly Conduct through DJ Capobianco’s office. The charges are a result of a dispute Sigafoos had with a female in the parking lot of Walmart on Easton-Nazareth Highway on November 7. According to witnesses and a female victim, Sigafoos engaged in a verbal argument with the female. As the female walked towards the store, Sigafoos exited his vehicle and followed her, yelling at her and calling her vulgar names. Si-

On October 15, CRPD was called to the Wawa on Schoenersville Road for a report of a road rage incident between a vehicle and a motorcycle. The incident started when David Tesis was on his motorcycle and he passed a vehicle on the Rt. 22 westbound offramp at Schoenersville Road.

The vehicle was waiting at the red light to make a right turn onto the road when Tesis drove around it on the right, straddling two lanes. The two exchanged words and Tesis began to follow the vehicle as it drove around the industrial complex of Valley Center Parkway and ended at Wawa. Tesis confronted the vehicle and began banging on the driver’s window. He also struck the driver’s side rear view mirror with his fists and caused damage.

Tesis was cited with summary harassment and summary disorderly conduct.

Chairwoman Cindy Miller suggested that this could give one of the incoming supervisors “a head start” of sorts, as it would allow them two meetings on the Board to familiarize themselves with the budget and responsibilities of be-

Miller also mentioned two vacancies opening on the township recreation board.

In the Solicitor’s report, David Backenstoe discussed the ongoing issue of a short-term rental property on Longacre Drive in Cherryville. The property, which has been listed as a rental through Airbnb for several years, is currently the subject of an ongoing zoning hearing. Not only have the property owners violated zoning ordinances through their rental practices, but the rental property has been the topic of several complaints from area residents who have called township police with concerns regarding noise and general safety as large groups have rented the house.

Backenstoe stated his intent to reach an agreement with the property owners, who have said they would withdraw their appeal to the zoning board if they can be permitted to operate through Jan. 16, 2022. The Board also discussed the possibility of holding an informational meeting to allow concerned residents to discuss the ongoing issue with local police and the Board of Supervisors, though further details have yet to be decided. The next regularly scheduled Board of Supervisors meeting will be Tuesday, November 23 at 7 p.m.

the day and is still meandering around my head as I write this story. The thoughts I had today have been showing up quite a lot lately. In fact, they are not new to me. Ever since I was a schoolgirl, the naysayers filled my mind with doubts of failure.

I was young then and believed them. However, today, it is the memories of those doubts and new doubts that dance around my head.

This is where the first part of the story ends, and the real story begins.

How many of you, dear, readers, struggle with doubts? How many of you struggle with how you look, your weight, your passions, and yes, even things that you are good at? How many of you are afraid to take a chance because words might have been said to you, others laughed, or those who put you down despite something good you did? Those words and feelings are real and hang around a very long time.

Some never go away.

I want you to know that you are beautiful, your passions and dreams are real, and all the good things you do, make your heart shine. I want you to know that God created you to be who you are. He gave you your gifts and talents. I can't help to feel His sadness when He sees any of His children doubting themselves, including me.

Believe in yourself. Take one day at a time. Do not fear failure for it is when we fail that we grow. Stand tall and keep doing what you love, learn from your

mistakes, then rise again. When those doubts start to dance, hold your head up high, and don't give in. You are better than that. I am better than that. We all deserve better than that.

One more thing, never forget

how much you are loved! Dream big, work hard, laugh often, help others, forgive the naysayers, and love like there is no tomorrow. One more thing, remember how important you are, especially to me.

NAZARETH AREA House approves Rep. Flood’s legislation Aimed at protecting children from abuse By parents on alcohol or drugs

Submitted by DAN MASSING The state House in Harrisburg approved legislation introduced by Rep. Ann Flood (R-Northampton) that would enable county agencies to seek a court order for a drug or alcohol test for a parent or guardian being investigated for child abuse.

“We know that drugs and alcohol can be a contributing factor in an overwhelming number of child neglect and abuse cases,” Flood said. “When county agencies are investigating child abuse incidents, we want them to have every tool they need to protect

that child.”

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court in a June 2020 decision ruled a county children and youth agency cannot force a parent to submit to a drug screening test as part of a child welfare investigation.

The state Child Protective Services Law does not specifically provide county agencies with the authority to compel an involuntary sample during the course of child abuse investigations. While the authority is not expressed in the law, counties had traditionally considered it within their in-

vestigative powers.

Flood’s legislation – House Bill 1737 – which she believes stands on solid constitutional footing, recognizes and protects individual liberty and privacy rights. It would specifically authorize in state law the power of county agencies to compel involuntary drug or alcohol samples from parents through a court order during child abuse investigations.

The bill would grant this power only in cases with evidence of impairment due to drug or alcohol abuse, abuse or neglect of a child and a causal link between

the two.

“The goal is to protect children by ensuring counties have access to factual information related to parental substance abuse,” Flood said. “If a parent is taking drugs or drinking alcohol and abusing their child, we need to have the ability to rescue that child and keep them safe.”

Flood’s bill now heads to the state Senate for consideration.

More information about Flood is available on her website at www.

RepAnnFlood.com or by following her on Facebook at www.

The Long Game

Pull tab tickets, progressive jackpots, and piggy

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

I expect it is pretty common for most of us to have some type of to-do list hanging around. The idea of a to-do list is to prioritize and remain aware of “things” that generally need to be tackled in the short term, whether that day or within a few days. I typically create a mini list daily for myself virtually every morning. I find that if I perform this task consistently it helps me “set my jaw” for the day and week ahead.

On my to-do list I attribute the level of priority each may require.

This may sound labor intensive.

It really isn’t-in fact those days when I do not begin with daily organization, I find it leads to greater stress and many items left unaccomplished. In the evening I generally take stock of what came to pass and where things stand.

Not all gets completed of course, and that has its place the following day.

The problem with a daily todo list is that it's thinking nearterm and leaves out what should be worked on, considered or pursued on a longer-term scale.

Oftentimes we get so busy with what needs to be done this morning, this afternoon, or within the next couple days, that we fail to take stock of and plan for “the long game.”

A couple years ago I purchased a personal planner unlike any I have had before. This “high performance planner” (as it is called) has allowed me to not only list my daily to-do’s as is clearly important, it also has areas that ask specific questions about the day and week(s) ahead. One question is, “Why are you doing what you need to do today?” Another is “Who do you feel you need to connect with really well today?”

Another may ask, “Who could use a call or encouragement today?” Still another asks, “What is something you know needs to get done today but the truth is you just can’t get to it?” Questions like these and more help take my mind off the minute-to-minute actionable steps that need to be taken and get me looking at the long game, the bigger picture if you will.

Taking the long game perspective not only changes and calms you, but it also changes and calms those around you. Trust me, I have witnessed this firsthand.

Now I have utilized long- term goal setting techniques in the past and you probably have as well. I am glad I did! That said, not all goes according to plan and naturally as I have experienced life more fully, I have a clearer vision for my personal long game As many already are aware, I’ve had a month-long sabbatical from practice recently during which I really considered what I desire out of the finite heartbeats

that are left. Thinking this way, while not minimizing the daily, never-ending tasks, has allowed me to think beyond a singular sunrise to sunset. I have even been asking myself how I want my grandchildren to remember me, and I don’t have any as of now. By golly, thinking about the long game I can already see them!

Lots of them!

What I have come to see is that while a daily or weekly to-do list is clearly important on many levels, so is coming to grips with the knowledge that the next decade will be here before I know it and I don’t want to get caught flatfooted.

Take for example a football team. The next snap of the ball is clearly very important. So is the next and the next and the ones after that. The expectation is to win that day’s game. But the next game’s kick off and subsequent play is just around the corner, isn’t it? Not to be left unsaid is a long look down the road at the desire to win a Superbowl. All of these short- and near-term looks should have a long game perspective. Play the long game my friends, you will be glad you did.

My best to you.
