LT Supervisors Adopt Changes To shortTerm rental Bath American Legion Ordinance by JOE KORBA
Post 470 holds grand Reopening after Renovation
By KERI LINDENMUTH After more than two years of planning and fundraising and months of construction, Bath American Legion Eckley E. Patch Post 470 reopened to members with a new bar and new social hall. “Today has been a long time
coming,” said Commander Brian Radcliffe during the November 14 grand reopening celebration. COVID-19 had delayed construction and the reopening, but now members finally had the chance to see all that the legion Continued on page 2
Looking by Back Ed Pany Dragon Cement Part 1 Recently, LeRoy Brobst, Northampton Borough manager, and Keith Piescienski, borough councilman, gave this writer five volumes of “The Dragon” magazine from the Dragon Cement Co., dated 1958. Keith’s father Frank was a long-time employee at the Northampton plant. The old Dragon provided employment for many area residents. The original plant was located in the village of Siegfried, which is now Northampton’s first ward. Cement in Siegfried was first produced in 1828 by Samuel Glase in a primitive operation. The cement was used in the construction of the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Canal. The name Dragon was the symbol of the Lawrence Cement Co. 1899-1951. The president of
the Lawrence selected the name Dragon after watching the opera Siegfried in which a dragon was part of the production. In those years, the Lawrence was in the village of Siegfried. Over the years Dragon Cement was used in many projects. New York City was a big market for the cement projects, including Grand Central Terminal, New York Custom House, New York subways, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania highways. In 1951 the Lawrence became the Dragon Portland Cement Co. In 1961 Martin Marietta purchased the plant. Sadly, the plant closed in 1983 thus ending the cement era in the Konkrete borough.

The November 11 meeting of the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors opened with the usual approval of the minutes from previous meetings and payment of bills. In planningrelated items, there were approvals for waivers and deferrals for the Bowman minor subdivision and final approval for the Jason Hankee Lot Line Adjustment Plan. The Cherryville Turkey Hill Land Development Plan received final approval after some changes and Lehigh Township Elementary School received an extension of time to record their approved plan. The Recreation Department reported that the Berlinsville Park concession stand is closed with the water turned off, cleaned and locked up. The stands at the parks in Danielsville and at Indian Trail Road are also closed for the winter. Township Solicitor David Backenstoe said that he presented the changes to the Township’s short-term rental ordinance to the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission who offered no comments or suggestions. Backenstoe said the ordinance has been advertised, fulfilling the legal obligation to do so, and is ready for adoption. At this point, a representative for the Jaindl resort project on Cherryville Road wanted to clarify that they plan on having rental properties in residential neighborhoods on property. He said that the property will be “an enclosed Jaindl community with a homeowner’s association,” implying that such an arrangement would keep out trouble and disturbances to people who live in the area. Board Chairperson Cindy Miller disagreed.

Northampton Borough Honors veterans in Moving service By KERI LINDENMUTH Northampton’s service men and women were honored during a Veterans Day service on Saturday, November 14. The event, organized by Northampton’s Joint Veterans Organization, was held at Veterans Plaza. The morning was marked with prayer, remembrance, and appreciation for all who have served. Several dozen residents and veterans were in attendance, including veterans from American Legion Post 353, Catholic War Veterans Post 454, and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4714. Flags were given to all in attendance to wave as veterans were recognized and, most importantly, thanked. “Please bring hope and healing to those vets who still hurt,” said Carl Wunderler, chaplain of Post 4714, in an opening prayer. “[And] angels of protection, love, and comfort, to all of the
service men and women still at war.” Bruce Shellock, of Post 454, solemnly remembered America’s POWs. At the center of the plaza sat an empty table, clothed in white with a single rose. “They depend on us to bring them home,” Shellock said. To honor fallen veterans at home and abroad, a three-volley salute was given, followed by Taps. Larry Schlittler of Post 454 closed the ceremony by reading “Daddy’s Poem.” “Take the time to live and love Continued on page 2

dedicated volunteers who spent years raising money to make the renovations possible. Vicki Hahn and Paulette Fritz were awarded the American Legion Certificate of Appreciation for hosting “fundraiser after fundraiser,” from basket socials to clam nights. “They were a driving force,” said Radcliffe. “They gave members of the community the chance to win great prizes, eat, and socialize.” One final phase of the construction is left to complete, including updates to the kitchen. Until then, members can enjoy the new bar and social hall and know they helped play a part in making them possible.

until eternity,” the poem, which tells the story of a daughter honoring her father killed in war, concludes. “If it was not for our veterans, we would not have what we have today,” said Schlittler. “It isn’t the politicians...it is the veterans that defend this country.” In 2021, the borough will come together again to honor their service men and women during a Memorial Day dedication of the 105 Howitzer that was moved to the plaza.

had worked toward. Also in attendance were Bath’s Mayor Fiorella Mirabito and State Representative Marcia Hahn. Mayor Mirabito honored the legion for all of the work it does for the community, while Representative Hahn recalled volunteering with the legion as a Girl Scout. She thanked the legion for “hammering home to our young people what veterans do.” Several past commanders of the post were also in attendance. “Your past leadership and guidance have helped shape us,” Radcliffe told them. “We are the American Legion family...without you, we would not be here today for this celebration.” Construction was completed by Jerdon Construction. Former Klecknersville resident Ron Jerdon is the company’s president. “It is great to be able to come back so many years later and make an impact,” Jerdon said.

With COVID Cases rising, Allen Township Will keep Meetings Online
By KERI LINDENMUTH During their November 10 meeting, Allen Township supervisors decided to hold 2020’s remaining meetings online. “I think the way things are going...I think we should stay with this format through the end of the year,” said Supervisor Dale Hassler. “The numbers are really going high fast.” Supervisors Gary Behler, Gerald Montanari, and Bruce Frack agreed. Township Manager Ilene Eckhart said there are “most likely” two meetings left for the year, if the budget is adopted on December 8. She added that she is working on a way to simultaneously stream future public meetings so that residents can attend in-person or online. After 2021’s reorganization meeting, which supervisors said should be in-person at the fire department building, they will reassess the situation. “We have done basically five months and managed,” said Hassler. “None of us got sick yet so Continued on page 4
Lehigh Twsp. Self-storage facility Continued from page 1 Proposed for Snowdrift Road “In my opinion, when a house becomes an Airbnb it becomes commercial, not residential,” In East Allen Township she said. “Our residents do not
By KERI LINDENMUTH During the East Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting on November 12, supervisors heard the conditional use hearing for a proposed self-storage facility on Snowdrift Road. DT Davis Inc. has proposed building a oneunit self-storage facility with an adjoined office on the 3.81 acre, light industrial parcel of land. Dave Davis, of DT Davis, will be the facility’s owner, operator, and user. Attorney Stephanie Koenig, on behalf of Davis, explained that the building will be 2,700 square feet with one 300 to 400 square-foot office so the owner can manage the unit. It will utilize fireproof construction and will be secured with a gate. The facility will operate no earlier than 5 a.m. and no later than 11 p.m. Some residents expressed concern over what exactly would be stored in the single unit. Koenig explained that there will be no outdoor storage, and no storage of trash, flammable materials, or hazardous materials. Instead, Davis said that he will be using the unit so he can store his vehicle, clean his boat, and work on his trailer. Koenig clarified that Davis has the right to store his personal property in the facility. “[I am] just a guy wanting to have a garage to store his stuff
[and] an office. That is it,” Davis said to concerned residents. “Frankly, this can be a lot higher intensity than what he is intending,” added township solicitor Joseph Piperato. No decision was made as to whether to grant the conditional use approval during the November 12 meeting. Supervisors will review the testimony and render a decision during their next meeting. Supervisors also heard a proposal from another developer. Abraham Atiyeh is proposing the Villages of East Allen, 110 units of “affordable” senior housing on Beth-Bath Pike. “There is no retirement community in East Allen that is affordable,” said Atiyeh. However, before the property can be built, a text amendment and a zoning amendment must be granted to change the land parcel from residential to agricultural. A hearing will be needed in order for the proposed property to go before the planning commission and board. While several supervisors said they have concerns, they voted to at least hold a hearing on the zoning change. They indicated they will bring their concerns up at that time. The hearing will be held in January.

want short-term rentals in residential areas.” The Jaindl representative denied that the properties sounded like a “time-share” situation when questioned by a resident. Ultimately, the board members and Backenstoe wanted to clarify that this issue is a separate one from the shortterm rental ordinance that they would be voting to adopt. The changes to the ordinance, that for a property to operate as a bed and breakfast the owners must reside on premises and for a property to operate as a hotel it must have an office on site, passed unanimously and were adopted. In other business, the 2021 budget is approved and ready to advertise and a motion to give turkeys to township employ-
ees as a show of appreciation passed. Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors meetings are held at 7 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month in the municipal building. Because of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, a teleconference option is available with the number listed on the township’s website.

Creative Corner A Morning Prayer by Charles McIlhaney Jr.
Oh, these troubled times. Along with the long-term menaces, both natural and man-made, that threaten the total annihilation of mankind, we are now gripped in the jaws of a viral pandemic. There are even some prognosticators that see it as a sign of end-most times and doom. But take heart, the Bubonic Plague of the Middle Ages and the influenza outbreak of the early Twentieth Century also had their Doomsday professers. Some day, maybe, one of them will be right. But ‘til then, I prefer to believe that 50 or maybe even 100 years from now, the “Looking Back” series in The Home News will feature quaint pictures and articles of the year 2020. Included will be tables and canopies set up at restaurants to accommodate outdoor dining only; and small groups of people gathered in hospital parking lots with placards reading “Get well soon” as a loved one looks out from a hospital room window; and a child waving jubilantly in appreciation from a front yard as a passing motorcade wishes him or her a “Happy Birthday.” For after all, soothsayers notwithstanding, life has no contract; only that each of us is but a heartbeat away from eternity. So give thanks for each day and enjoy it for all its worth, one heartbeat at a time.

let’s try to keep it that way.” In other news, supervisors authorized the township’s 2021 budget for public inspection. It includes a five mil property tax, which has been unchanged for over 20 years.

The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be held on November 24 at 7 p.m.
Gab Over by Pete The Fence G. Ossip We ushered in the week with that storm and high winds, I know some people lost power. The birds couldn’t scrape by this time with a win from the Giants, they lost 27-17. This may be an unpopular opinion but I was disappointed when they traded Nick Foles a few years ago. He’s not playin’ too hot for Da Bears right now though...How ‘bout those Steelers? They smoked the Bengals...only team in the NFL with 9 wins. Chiefs aren’t far behind with 8 wins. Guess we’ll see what happens this week...Woke up to a light dusting on the rooftops earlier in the week, I wouldn’t mind a fresh coat of snow. This week it was two years ago that we got that crazy snowstorm that nobody was expecting and people got stuck on the highways for hours. It was also the occurrence of the snow camel if anybody remembers that. A camel was spotted walking on Route 309 during the snowstorm... Justin Walker is still collecting toys for Toys for Tots at Klecknersville Rangers every Sunday, just look for the big FedEx trailer. This past Sunday they collected 799 toys in just one day. A total of 1,688 toys have already been collected...‘Scouting For Food’ was held this past Saturday. Moore Township Scout Pack 50 donated 495 pounds of food to the Bath Food Bank... Moore Township Association for
Families in Need has set up a Go Fund Me page for donations; if you’d like to donate visit them on Facebook where you can access that link. The association formed in 1986 and 34 years later they’re still assisting families in need in the Moore Township area, so consider donating today. Lots of opportunities to donate in the community, ‘tis the season, right?...We’re getting excited for the holiday season so we announced last week that our next Photo of the Month theme will be Christmas. Email us any festive photo that represents Christmas or a winter wonderland to you for a chance to be featured on our front page and on our Facebook page. Photos do not need to have been taken this year by the way. You can email those submissions to AskUs@HomeNewsPA. com…Next week will be our Thanksgiving and Small Business Saturday issue, we’ll be featuring the Small Business Saturday gameboard again this year...Don’t know if you noticed but we’ve made some changes to the Find N Seek form- we’ll be hiding the icon on 4 ads now instead of 3!...I think that’s it for this week, have a good week gang and cya next time- stay warm!

Submitted by STEVE GARDNER It’s open enrollment season, which means it is also Medicare fraud season. Eligible beneficiaries have until December 7 to shop for the best deal for their health care dollar. Unfortunately some of the deals they will be offered won’t be deals at all. Just like in other years, Medicare scams spike during open enrollment season with scammers posing as insurance providers calling and emailing about free gifts or limited time offers. These scams are all designed to capture information scammers can use to bill Medicare for bogus services and treatment. Be suspicious of anyone who calls, emails or visits you promoting a Medicare plan. Legitimate health plans can only contact you if you’ve requested information. Don’t give personal information to anyone who calls or visits out of the blue and always review your Medicare or explanation of benefits statement to ensure fraudulent charges aren’t included. Be a fraud fighter. If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam. Visit the AARP Fraud Watch Network at www.aarp.org/fraudwatchnetwork or call the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline at 1-877-908-3360 to report a scam or get help if you’ve fallen victim.

Home Improvement t n e m e v o r p Im e m o H 8 Ideas for the Holidays www.carpettogo.com
1. Start The Holiday Season With a Clutter-free Home
Take some time to declutter your home. Things have a tendency to accumulate over the year, so take November and December as an opportunity to eliminate some extra items. Starting off the new year with a tidy, organized home is the best way to do it, so declutter relentlessly.
2. Make Your First Impression a Good One
Another great holiday home improvement is to thoroughly deep clean and organize your home’s entryway. The entryway is where your guests make their first impression of your home, so don’t overlook it in the cleaning process. Make sure to declutter, reorganize, deep clean,
and spruce up your entryway to give it a clean and festive feel for the holiday season.
3. Light Up Your Home
You don’t want to head into the holiday season and new year with a dim house and dead lightbulbs do you? Be sure to bring the festive spirit from outside into your home with a brightly lit, welcoming atmosphere. Go around your home and replace all the dead and dying lightbulbs. This is a quick and easy home improvement you should definitely be making before your first Christmas party begins.
4. Touch Up Your Home’s Exterior
Give your home that holiday curb appeal. Add lights to the exterior of your home, groom your lawn, clean up your porch, and touch up any chips on your house’s paint job. These are sim-

ple home improvements that go a long way in increasing your home’s overall aesthetic.
5. Make Sure Your Decor/Furniture Is Cohesive
Maybe you just grabbed the box of Christmas decor from last year (or several years ago) and hastily stashed the contents around your house – only to realize you have a lot of mismatched pieces that are no longer your style. If this has happened to you, start this holiday season off by purging the old decor or furniture that you no longer use, like, or isn’t your style. One of the simplest holiday home improvements out there is simply going through your home and making sure that all of your holiday decor

and furniture is cohesive and up to date with your tastes.
6. Add New Holiday Accents
Consider replacing old or out of style accents such as furniture pieces, rugs, or pillows with new and timeless holiday pieces. Again, holiday home improvements don’t have to be fancy or overly expensive to beautify your home and add cheer. You don’t have to completely makeover or remodel your entire home for the holidays. It’s often the simple and inexpensive fixes that can make such a huge difference when it comes to holiday improvements.
7. Liven Up Your Home
Add festive greenery or poinsettias as a way to bring in living accents. Plants and greenery have a way of brightening and freshening up spaces while also giving off a subtle holiday scent throughout your home. While
in the process of freshening up your home, be sure to purchase a couple of holiday scented candles as they can make your home feel extremely cozy and are among the most affordable holiday home improvements out there.
8. Start The New Year Off With Fresh Floors
This may fall more under the category of holiday home remodels instead of improvements, but if your home has overly damaged carpet or hardwood floors, it might be time to think about getting them replaced. Starting off the New Year with clean, new floors is wonderfully refreshing – and it can make a good Christmas gift for your husband or wife as well. Getting your floors redone isn’t a lengthy process and will definitely help give your home a clean start for the new year.

Martucci was recognized for making a difference by volunteering weekly at his church to assist with a donation drive to provide basic essentials for the homeless.. "Through the High School Leadership Awards, Widener University has the pleasure of honoring the inspiring young leaders within our community who demonstrate courage and strong leadership," said Widener University President Julie E. Wollman. "This year we are extremely proud to recognize students like Julian Martucci who embody the important principals of character and leadership, and who work to create positive change in their communities. It is my pleasure to give all the honorees this well-deserved recognition." Award recipients will also receive a scholarship of $20,000 over four years should they choose to enroll at Widener University as a freshman for undergraduate studies. Honorees who choose to attend Widener are known as Apogee Scholars. As Apogee Scholars, students will have an opportunity to receive four years of valuable leadership programming and experiences. Through our Leadership Institute, Apogee Scholars can uncover their potential and further develop their leadership skills by earning a leadership certificate or pursuing a minor in leadership studies. "NBC10 and Telemundo62 are proud to continue our partnership with Widener University and the Widener High School Leadership Awards which recognizes the leaders of tomorrow," said Ric Harris, President and General Manager of NBC10 and Telemundo62.

Stories From My Heart by Cynthia Jean DeLuca
When Butterflies Come To Town
I am in love with all four seasons! Each one has its own splendor and beauty laced with recurring reminders that we are not alone. Whether it be a cloud in the sky, the smell of a fresh hot apple pie baking in the oven, or the tune of a particular song, the bond of memories brings back a wave from a time past when life was simple, and those we loved surrounded us. But as life has it, the seasons often bring back a time of sadness, reminding us of a loved one who made their journey to heaven. Or perhaps a time when things were not going as well as we expected. Sometimes, certain days can be overwhelmingly hard to get through. My heart breaks on those days. However, memories meander through my senses, continuing to heal the cracks in my heart. Will those little cracks completely heal? Probably not. I believe that God creates memories in which patterns of faces, voices, smiles, laughter, and tears are etched in our hearts and minds, bringing us moments of happi-

This year with its ups and downs, violence, the virus, and many uncertainties, I have found that those little moments of flashbacks to happier times have helped me through some difficult times. I purposely look for them every day. This summer, I waited patiently for the beautiful Monarch Butterflies to make their appearance. I yearned for their magnificent colors and graceful fluttering from flower and flower. It seemed like the more I wished to see just one flutter in all their majesty, not one appeared. Like the Cardinals that daily grace my birdfeeder, butterflies are always a reminder that someone in heaven is thinking of me. Throughout the day, I would peek out the window or walk out to my garden and search for any kind of movement, but nothing. I am usually very patient, but this year the urgency I felt was beyond waiting. In my heart, I needed to see those precious, delicate gifts from God more than any other time of my life. The search continued every day for several weeks, then one afternoon, as I sat on my front porch, a yellow Monarch fluttered by me. So close in fact that I could feel its wings brush my cheek. Oh, what a feeling of surprise then of great gratitude. A “hello” from heaven filled my heart with what I needed, hope. Hope for a better tomorrow. Not long after the first yellow Monarch, several others made their appearance fluttering around some of my other bushes. One landed on a small plant right outside my patio door. It was a gorgeous blue one, my favorite. Now some might say that it was the correct migration time for these beauties to make their appearance. And maybe they are right. But for me, I choose to think that God knew what I needed and when I needed it. His wisdom never ceases to amaze me. And for that, I am grateful. I can’t help to think that each year when the butterflies come to town, messages from above are delivered, and hearts feel a little lighter.

Looking Back Continued from page 1
The first quarry dates back to the Bonneville Cement Co. in 1890. The quarry was purchased by the Lawrence Cement Co. in 1899 and it
continued until a new quarry was opened. Today the quarry is owned by LaFarge and was a major source of cement rock for many years. The old quarry is filled with water. Presently, a diving academy utilizes the quarry
to train divers. The depth at spots reaches 300 feet. The Dragon constructed a road to haul stone to the crusher. The stone was moved by rail crossing Main Street to the mill. In two weeks, Dragon and the community.
