Decision on Willow Brook Farm Trust Development Tabled Again
Michael Wachter
Holy Family School Student wins American Pride Drawing Contest Submitted by KRISTINE PORTER Holy Family School fourthgrader Michael Wachter won first place in the fourth-grade division of the American Pride Drawing Contest. The contest was sponsored by the American Citizenship Committee of the Northampton County Bar Association of Pennsylvania. The artwork of two win-
ners in grades third, fourth and fifth was chosen from those submitted by art teachers in schools throughout Northampton County. Each winner received a $75 gift certificate to Barnes and Noble and an invitation to the Naturalization Court Ceremony on Monday, Nov. 6 at the courthouse in Easton. Continued on page 2
By KERI LINDENMUTH At their Thursday, November 16 meeting, the Northampton Borough Council once again tabled their decision on the preliminary plan of the Willow Brook Farm Trust Development. The move follows the council’s November 2 decision to table conditional approval for eleven single-family homes proposed on the Fuller-family-owned property. One of the conditions imposed on the plan was that the Willow Brook Farm Trust post an escrow for a traffic light at Howertown Road and Fourth Street. Council tabled their decision to allow for the discussion of alternatives. Lawyers for the trust, trust consultant Robert Dwyer, and borough solicitor Steven Goudsouzian, met in the interim and composed a list of options the council can impose in lieu of a nearly $250,000 escrow, which the trust currently cannot afford. Council will contemplate those options and return with a decision at their December meeting. “I understand it requires a bit of thought,” said Dwyer, “but [we are] anxious to keep this moving.” In addition to discussion on Willow Brook Farms, the council discussed traffic in the borough. Previously, Councilman Kenneth Hall suggested that traffic studies be conducted on various borough streets. “Perhaps it would be to our advantage,” said Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst. “[To] limit speed, the direction of travel, [and] the number of vehicles.” However, council believes an ad hoc traffic committee should
be implemented instead of a traffic study, which some members of council believe will lead to higher expenses. “I have seen so many traffic studies I thought were bogus,” said Councilman Ed Pany. Pany suggested forming a committee with Police Chief Bryan Kadingo, Councilman Hall, Mayor Thomas Reenock, and other members of council. Goudsouzian says a committee would be fine, but recommended that council still pay for expert traffic studies after the committee collects its findings. Finally, council also discussed their upcoming rental property ordinance, a draft of which was provided to council members at the meeting. Council plans to discuss it in more detail at their December meeting in order to keep it moving. “This ordinance…is really needed,” said Councilwoman Judy Kutzler.

Lehigh Township Supervisors discuss Pollution Reduction Plan By JUSTIN SWEITZER Lehigh Township supervisors will have to adopt a pollution reduction plan in accordance with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, according to Township Engineer Phil Malitsch, who notified the board at their Nov. 14 meeting. The plan, according to Malitsch, needs to be a “program of work” that outlines how the township will reduce pollution over the next five years. The plan specifically applies to watersheds within the township, as is required under the state’s municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) regulations. “You now need to provide what’s called a pollution reduction plan for the watersheds that are in your township,” Malitsch said. “What it is is a program of work that the township needs to do in the next five years to meet certain requirements. Those requirements are based on two things: the watersheds that are in your township, and what the impairment of those watersheds is.” The watersheds that the township will need to provide a plan for are the Hokendauqua Creek, Birch Creek and the Lehigh
River, according to Malitsch. “The minimum pollution reduction percentage that any township can apply to meet these requirements is 10 percent,” Malitsch said. “So of all the calculated sediment loading into a watercourse, you are responsible over the next five years to deal with 10 percent of that.” Malitsch said that according to DEP, the current sediment loading in township watersheds is approximately 8,450,000 pounds of sediment. The 10 percent of sediment that the township is required to address over the course of the next five years comes out to 845,000 pounds of sediment. “DEP has formulas that say for certain BMPs [best management practices] you get a certain credit of pounds of sediment that you’re remediating from this issue. So the pollution reduction plan, what it is, is a combination of different BMPs added up to meet that total requirement that you’re obligated to meet over your permit term,” Malitsch said. “We have to come up with a combination of BMPs that hit that number.” Malitsch said that the problem for the township is how they will be able to conduct such

taking such projects, which Malitsch said will depend on what BMPs the township chooses and what methods the township will be able to handle. Snover then voiced another concern about how DEP comes up with the percentages and totals the township must hit. “Where do they come up with
the numbers?” Snover asked. Malitsch admitted he had little knowledge of DEP’s techniques for coming up with their percentages, which only added to Snover’s skepticism of the program. “The only way that I can answer the question as I sit here is: I have no idea,” Malitsch said. “Everything that we do usually involves equations of some kind. How they come up with those equations I think is really the question and I don’t think

that it’s very tangible.” Snover continued to express his opposition against the state mandate, noting that the township has few avenues to pay for the pollution remediation practices, which would either require diverting funds from other areas or raising taxes on residents. Supervisor Cindy Miller also said the township has the option of implementing a stormwater management authority, which she said would also impact taxpayers. “That’s where municipalities are moving because they can’t afford it out of their general funds,” Miller said. Snover was also vocal about the option of implementing a stormwater management authority, denying it outright. “Hell no.. it’s more government. It’s the exact opposite direction that, me personally, wants to see,” he said. “We’ve got numbers that are given to us that are going to impact our taxpayers and we aren't even privy to how they come up with these numbers in the first place.” Supervisor Keith Hantz remained open to the idea of a stormwater management authority, as Miller noted that the township’s hands were tied after receiving an “unfunded mandate by the state.” “The idea of an authority maybe isn’t such a bad thing,” Hantz said. “I really do think

we need to keep that as an option going forward here because obviously we’re not getting out.” In other business, the liquor license transfer hearing that was scheduled for the Nov. 14 meeting was canceled before the meeting began.

Eight Ways to Live Generously My favorite holiday, by far, is Thanksgiving; our annual, national holiday marked by religious observances and a traditional meal including turkey. The holiday commemorates a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621 and is held in the U.S. on the fourth Thursday in November. Giving thanks or living generously is much more than turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce. Expressing gratitude or showing appreciation towards others can be a life worth living. Thrivent Financial has a tagline that reads, “living generously.” It says so much, it’s a brand that says what it means and means what it says. I was wondering…. what does that really mean and how can all of us, literally, live generously?
Eight ways to live generously
1. Take care of others and take
the time to help others in need, whether it be friends or family.
2.
Speak with kindness - use words to build people up, not tear them down.
3.
Go last - instead of pushing to the front of the line, how about stepping back and letting folks go first, specially the elderly and children?
4. Limit complaining - con-
stant complaining sends a message of selfishness. If we must do it, do it in private.
5. Give first - expect nothing in return, give from your heart, not your wallet.
6. Volunteer or donate to an organization or cause.
7.
Set an example for children, watch them watch you living generously.
8. Always buy lemonade from
children, don’t pass that stand (it says a lot about who you are). There is plenty of research out there confirming that giving back is not only good for our planet, it makes for healthier and happier citizens. Also, a study I found claims that when people give, the midbrain region of the brain lights up. So if you want a “happy brain glow” or a warm and fuzzy feeling, give generously. This Thanksgiving take time to be thankful for those in your life but also think about how you might embrace living generously in the months to come.
37th Annual Governor Wolf Historical Society Christmas House Tour- Test Home submitted by CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN The Governor Wolf Historical Society is proud to announce they will be holding the 37th Annual Christmas House Tour on Saturday, December 2. The tour features seven private, historic homes in Bath and the surrounding countryside. The theme for this year’s tour is “Coverlets – A Warm Christmas.” Finish your day at the society’s Wolf Academy Historic Site with a free Colonial Family fun day featuring hearth cooking, demonstrations, colonial crafts, museum, carolers, crafts for children, raffle, display of antique coverlets, greens for sale, and food by Daily Grind. Welcome to the fifth home, the Test family barn. The owners have had the pleasure of living in this 1830 Pennsylvania bank barn since 1999. The pegged beam barn originally belonged to the house across the street and was built by the Teel family, for whom the road is named. Former owners improved many areas when they moved into the barn in 1986. The current owners are continuing that process.
In 2007, they rebuilt the entire back deck that runs the length of the barn. At one time, below this side it was known as the barnyard for animals. The original rafters and large ancient beams that were removed from the side were all re-purposed. The entire front wall was opened and rebuilt from scratch. It was assembled flat on the front yard and then raised in the traditional barn raising style by only four people using ancient techniques. The living room, with its 16” wide plank floors and open staircase, is two stories high. It was constructed with pegged beams that are identified with Roman numerals. The inside focuses on space and natural light and the
amazing workmanship of that era. The owners have certainly enjoyed preserving the craftsmanship and adding their own story to this historic home. Tickets for the tour are on sale. They are $25 in advance and $30 the day of the tour. They are on sale at Bath Drug, S. Seem Antiques in Bath, Curt’s Cyclery in Nazareth, Miller Supply Ace Hardware in Allen Township and Snow Goose Gallery in Bethlehem. Tickets are for sale the day of the tour at the society’s historic site at 6600 Jacksonville Road, Bath just off Route 512, three miles north of Route 22, between Bethlehem and Bath. For further information, call 610-837-9015.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Thursday is Thanksgiving Day so our newspaper is coming out on Wednesday. We decided to go to the Thanksgiving dinner at St. John’s Lutheran, so I spared Tom again. There’s always a nice crowd because they do a great job with the meal. About the same time it’s all the high school football games and then there’s Black Friday in the stores and at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Kreidersville and the gals will be looking for bargains, gifts to put away for Christmas. . . .I see the Bath Museum down by Jacksonville Road in East Allen Township will be open on December 2nd, the same day as the Christmas House Tour, so there’s one more stop when you make your rounds. It will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. . . .Our condolences to the families of Fred Michael and Jimmy Harold Beltz. It seems as you get older all your friends are passing away. But that’s life. . . .The snow birds are heading south to the warmth of Florida. . . .I see there’s gonna be a Nativity scene at Christ Church in Danielsville as well as the one at Hope Lutheran in Cherryville. . . .Don’t forget the Christmas lighting ceremony at Monocacy Creek Park in Bath on November 25 . . . .Nazareth is gonna have theirs on December 7th. I haven’t heard when Northampton is holding the ceremony they have around a donated tree between Miller’s Diner and Bob’s Flower Shop and the VFW. . . Concrete truck made a delivery this week at the new location of the Bath municipal building. . . . It rained pretty hard Thursday night. . .
.I’ve been doing the house cleaning while Elmira is shopping, so I didn’t get out of the house. . . .Hope your family has a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.

Six important reasons to shop on Small Business Saturday co-opcreditunions.org So maybe you’ve decided to skip out on Black Friday this year. You might want to consider starting your local holiday shopping on Small Business Saturday instead. Held annually the Saturday after Thanksgiving since 2010, SBS is an awesome way to support local businesses in your community. Here are a few reasons why it’s a great idea to shop on Small Business Saturday: 1. You’ll help create jobs in the community. Money spent in the com-

munity will go back into it in the form of creating employment opportunities. According to the Small Business Administration, the 28 million small businesses in America account for 54 percent of all sales in the U.S. Plus small businesses have provided 55 percent of all jobs and 66 percent of all new jobs since the 1970s. When you make a purchase at a small business, you are doing your part to stimulate the local economy. 2. Your tax dollars stay local. Shopping at small busi-

Small Business Saturday nesses helps keep money within the neighborhood. A series of studies by the research firm Civic Economics found that 48 percent of purchases at local independent businesses go right back into the community, compared to less than 14 percent of sales made at chain stores. Your tax dollars stay locally, going toward public services, better schools, and libraries. 3. Small businesses give back to the neighborhood. Small businesses go beyond writing a check to a local cause. They’re more likely to develop partnerships and strengthen ties with people in the neighborhood. Brick and mortar establishments can serve as community hubs, such as the coffee shop that holds open mic night
or the pizza parlor that sponsors little league fundraisers. 4. Shopping at one local business helps other local businesses. By shopping at a business in the neighborhood, you’ll most likely stop by other independent retailers in the vicinity. On top of that, some small businesses tend to offer products that are made locally, creating a ripple effect in the local economy. You can use this handy store locator tool to find businesses in your neighborhood that will be participating in this year’s SBS. 5. Small businesses offer more unique products. You can get away from the mass-produced items found at big box chains by shopping at an independent retailer. You’ll be able to find locally made
gifts that are perfect for your significant other or enjoy a one-ofa-kind specialty drink at the local watering hole. 6. It helps keep communities diverse. Sure, we all love and go to the mainstream retailers, but can you imagine what it would be like to live in a place with nothing but non-descript strip malls? By participating in Small Business Saturday, we’re making sure independent businesses thrive by adding to the vibrancy and uniqueness of a community. It would be tough for the charming trinkets shop or the mom and pop deli around the corner to stay afloat without your patronage. Kate Dore of Cashville Skyline explains how anytime she needs to purchase gifts, she chooses to shop at the local businesses in her neighborhood of East Nashville. “Small businesses make my neighborhood a more interesting and diverse place to live,” Dore explains.
So before you put on a shirt that reads “Consumerism is for suckers” and opt out of holiday shopping completely, consider participating in
Small Business Saturday this year. It’s a great way to get to become better acquainted with your neighborhood and support the community.

One Door
Our family visited the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky earlier this year. It is an impressive Noah’s Ark exhibit built to the dimensions listed in Scripture. Touring the structure, you find many answers to critics of the historical account of the Great Flood recorded in the Bible. It’s definitely worth the time and travel to visit. But what does this message from history have to say to us today? There are very clear parallels from the message of the Flood to our culture today. God created mankind, but they rebelled against Him and “the wickedness of man was great in the earth.” When they would not turn back to God, He pronounced judgment in the form of a Flood that would destroy life from the earth. Yet in that judgment (which was deserved), God granted mercy.... “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” How does that relate to today? Each of us has sinned before God. We have not obeyed His laws. He, a righteous, holy God, Who has created us, and to Whom we answer, has stated that “the wages of sin is death.” His Word says that, “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” The just judgment for all who have sinned against God is being separated from Him forever. But just as in the judgment of the Flood, so in the eternal judgment pronounced against sin--God has granted a way to mercy... “He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” The Bible records that there was One door into the ark. Everyone who entered the ark, had to enter by that door. There weren’t many ways into the ark of safety, but there was One way. The same is true today. Jesus said, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved” (John 10:9). That One Door is still open. Have you entered in? Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). --Submitted by Melody Lundmark

NAZARETH AREA NOSEY IN NAZARETH Submitted by TINA SMITH
Dear Nazareth, What a beautiful autumn season we are having. Yesterday was one of our last Indian summer days and good for raking the yard. I found a cute, fuzzy caterpillar on the tree and my neighbor informed me that we are going to have a mild winter. Huh? He explained that my furry friend is able to forecast the winter coming. So I’m sure all you Nazareth locals know I found a Wooley Bear Caterpillar. They have three distinct segments of color. This little guy was black, orange/brown, and black. The wider the orange/ brown section, the milder the coming winter. Okay, we’ll see. This morning I went to the Nazareth Diner (581 N. Broad Street) to meet a client and have breakfast. I chose
a breakfast wrap with a cup of fresh fruit. It was the perfect choice because while we were discussing business my breakfast didn’t get cold. And the waitresses passing by with the coffee pot never missed our table. There’s always good
November 23-29, 2017 17
service at the Nazareth Diner. Next stop was my dentist appointment at the Green Street Dental Associates (150 S. Green Street). I was due for a cleaning and my hygienist was Yolanda. I appreciate that they were able to take me in
on my scheduled time; it was just going to be a full day for me. So I felt very relaxed and Yolanda gave me some important tips on easier ways to floss. (Just not my favorite thing to do.) Leaving the office, I didn’t feel sore and was
ready to continue through my list of errands. I noticed a parking spot open in front of Smooch on Main Boutique (101 S. Main Street). Continued on page 19

Nosey in Nazareth Continued from page 17
There was still time on the meter in front of the shop. I remembered I needed a birthday gift and I love Stephanie’s scarves and jewelry. It didn’t take too much time for me to find just the perfect items and something extra for me; I have to come back here for a few people on my Christmas list. Leaving the shop, I put two more quarters in the meter and crossed the street to my hairdresser Shear Envy (108 S. Main Street). It was time to refresh my “natural” color; adding a few highlights is always fun. I appreciate going to this salon because I can count on the advice of the stylists to keep my look updated. Fun time to catch up on People magazines, yet I’m finding that I don’t recognize the featured movie stars. I can hear my Mom complaining about that same thing 30 years ago. My favorite moment is when they have to wash out the color. Great time to lay back and rest. Looking good, I’m headed up North Main Street to our local Nazareth/Bath Regional Chamber of Commerce (201 N. Main Street). I needed some information about being a keynote speaker for a luncheon the Chamber sponsors called WINN (Women in Nazareth Networking). Tina Smith was waiting for me with a fresh brewed flavored coffee. This function is usually held once a month over an extended lunch period. Perfect to meet new people in business and share what my services are. The luncheons are always planned in the local area, so we do enjoy a variety of good food. Afterwards it was downtown to Herbs to Your Success (64 S. Main Street). I forgot I needed some herbal tea. They custom blend teas for you, and this is the time I love, my tea in the evening with a bit of honey. Also, have you ever tried essential oils? I use the lavender oil throughout my home. One of the uses is it helps with any headaches and since cold season is here, it’s a perfect aid to help your sinuses. I’m finished with my list,
ready to go home, but do I really feel like cooking? I could stop at Stehly’s Bakery & Eatery (113 S. Main Street) and pick something up for dinner. I order “The Josh;” roast beef sliced thin, Russian dressing and coleslaw in a French roll. I even get a pickle and a kiffle. I love their homemade pierogies that you can purchase from their freezer. Just thinking ahead to the cold weather. I’m home again. More leaves to rake since I left today. I just realized I was able to accomplish my list all in one community. I love small town living. Did you have a chance to go to the Nazareth Borough Park at the end of October? The Nazareth/Bath Regional Chamber planned for the kids “Truck or Treat,” a fun
festival where the children could dress up and collect candy. I didn’t wear a costume but enjoyed the food offered by a variety of food trucks and farmer’s market products. I love planning to attend the traditional Nazareth Tree Lighting that is always cel-
ebrated the first Thursday of December in Center Square at 7 p.m. We sing “Jingle Bells” until Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive by fire truck. Finished raking and guess what I found on my sidewalk? A darling Wooley Bear caterpillar. Furry and one color, all black. Going to find my
