Allen Township Supervisors Approve Ordinances, Appoint Parks and Rec members

By SAVANNAH BROWN

The Allen Township Board of Supervisors met Tuesday, October 25 to hold hearings for a storm water update ordinance and Parks and Recreation Board ordinance, as well as to discuss the 2023 bud get, appointing Parks and Recre ation members, land development and subdivisions, the Tucker Toy Run, the purchase of an enclosed trailer, and a debit card program for the sewer account.

6th Annual TrunkOr-Treat held in Moore Township

The circus pulls into town. Photo courtesy of Thom Horvath. in 1906-07 by seven Ringling Brothers of Baraboo, Wis. In Pittsburgh, they performed their final tented show. The following year, RB and BB started perform ing in arenas under the direction of Irvin Field.”

A few months ago, Mr. and Mrs. Thom Horvath, of Bridge water, N.J., visited the Atlas Ce ment Company Memorial Mu seum. A pleasant couple, they experienced my incessant ques tioning.

Mr. Horvath is a railroad buff who has written a number of ar ticles for TRP, the railroad maga zine. The editor, Mr. J.F.M. Se rensits, was a former student of this writer. The magazine’s office is in Hanover, Pa.

Mr. Horvath is very interested in circus trains and has writ ten and photographed the most famous of all circus trains - the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus trains. He has gra ciously forwarded Mr. Oberly and this writer some of his ar ticles and beautiful photographs to share with our loyal readers and gave permission to allow us to print them.

Since 1983, he has chased ei ther the Blue or Red unit, closely following their schedule of stops.

Mr. Horvath writes, “PT Bar num and James Bailey initiated the ‘Greatest Show on Earth’ in 1888. The show was bought

The owners continued to use the Blue and Red units to move around the country.

He writes, “The trains averaged around 48 cars and about 4,284 feet in length. The Red and Blue units, respectively, will each travel less than 20,000 miles per year. The train will usually be made up in this manner: the animal cars, passenger cars and the last are flat, or equipment, cars.

“Former Union Pacific baggage cars were transformed by Ringling Brothers personnel into homes on wheels for horses, elephants, cam els, etc. The passenger cars follow ing would serve as home for an estimated 300 circus people from January to Dec. 8.”

I found Mr. Horvath’s next paragraph extremely interestinga real slice of history!

“When Barnum and Bailey

To begin, supervisors held a hearing for a revision to the ex isting stormwater management ordinance under Chapter 8 of the code, which will bring stormwa ter regulations up to MS4 require ments and also makes it more consistent with what the conser vation district requires.

Township Engineer Stan Wojciechowski explained that the ordinance will update the language of the existing ordi nance and a paragraph was added “to identify that when subdivi sions come in, they must prepare stormwater management and ba sins have to take care of require ments for all of the impervious coverage on each lot.”

The board unanimously ap proved to take action to update the ordinance.

Next, supervisors held another hearing regarding an ordinance for the creation of the Allen Township Parks and Recreation Board, which will consist of nine members. However, the board will not have any authority to make financial purchases or enter into any contracts. Their role will be to make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors.

The board voted unanimously to approve the Parks and Recre ation Board.

Firetrucks and finances dominate discussion at Lehigh Twp. Supervisors meeting

By LAURA KLOTZ

The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors met on Tuesday, October 25 to continue their review of the 2023 budget. First was a discussion of the Zoning Hearing Board’s expenses; they sent a letter to the supervisors regarding what they discovered while reviewing invoices. Per the request of the Board of Supervi

sors, attorney Neil Ettinger will break down the legal charges for all zoning board hearings.

The next item examined was the range fees charged by the po lice shooting range. Other mu nicipalities sometimes use the Le high Township range, for which they pay a fee. Board member David Hess suggested having Police Chief Scott Fogel present

data about the fees at the next meeting, so the board can deter mine whether these fees should be increased.

Township Manager Alice Reh rig was able to provide all the re maining missing pieces of infor mation in the newest printing of the budget, although she has yet to hear anything about any of the grants for which the township

BINGO FOR EQUI-LIBRIUM

has applied.

Fire Commissioner Richard Hildebrand reported that the ap paratus committee is putting to gether information for the board about the costs of maintaining fire equipment, which he hopes will be ready by the end of the year. The funds available for these costs will depend on what grant money the township is able to get. Further budget discussion was tabled until the November 8 meeting.

Regarding the Turkey Hill proj ect in Cherryville, it was reported that the township’s contractor has completed the accessibility proj ect mentioned during the Sep tember meetings. Board member Cynthia Miller stated that the board needs to have a concrete completion date. Rehrig has told the contractor that paperwork must be completed by the end of the year. Turkey Hill’s original submission with PennDOT was returned, so they have now made a second submission.

Deere Country has stated they will be following their process for collections in regards to the un paid invoices. They want an addi tional $2600 on top of what has already been paid. Board mem ber Gerald Pritchard proposed simply paying the bill to end the

situation, but Township Solici tor David Backenstoe objected due to the circumstances. Board member Philip Gogel agreed with Backenstoe, citing it to be a “matter of principle,” and the board decided to take no action as yet.

Copies of the revised amend ment concerning personal shoot ing ranges were provided to board members, and it was ap proved unanimously. The ranges will now be held to the com monwealth’s standards as stated at the October 11 meeting; fire arm ranges must be at least 150 feet from dwellings, and archery ranges at least 75 feet.

The fire department gave the board a report on their appara tus. They have not yet looked at the used truck being sold as men tioned at the previous meeting, but the department examined the numbers and believes the truck in question is nearing re tirement age, so they do not rec ommend moving forward with the purchase. A lengthy debate followed, in which Hildebrand and the board members debated the feasibility of purchasing a new truck versus a used one. The board is in agreement that the de partment deserves the township’s support, but raising the funds to purchase a brand new truck is challenging even if a fire tax were to be implemented. It was noted that this is a problem for

Moore Township Zoning examines Officer at Water’s Edge warehouse Development appeal

By SAVANNAH BROWN

The Moore Township Zoning Hearing Board met Thursday, Oc tober 27 to continue the ongoing hearing of the Water’s Edge pro posal appeal. The ongoing appeal that began in June challenges the substantive validity of various sec tions of the township’s zoning or dinance and zoning officer deter

The hearing began with a di rect examination of the Township Zoning Officer, Jason L. Harhart by Township Solicitor David M. Backenstoe.

Harhart testified that the town ship does not issue building per mits because Moore Township is an opt-out municipality for all commercial code enforcement. This means that the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry is responsible for all commercial

code enforcement in Moore Town ship and therefore, issues all com mercial building permits as well.

Backenstoe established that during Township Engineer Kevin Horvath’s testimony, he misstated some of the issues associated with a zoning permit versus a building permit and the procedures for ob taining both, whereas zoning per mits must be issued first before any other permits can be issued after land development approval for all township structures. As such, all construction in the township first requires a zoning permit issued by the zoning officer.

Backenstoe also established that the answer to the applicant’s representation, Attorney Marc B. Kaplin’s question during the Oc tober meeting regarding whether his client does not have to obtain a zoning permit until the occupant

is known was misleading because a zoning permit must be issued first before any construction begins in the township.

Harhart testified that Kaplin’s previous allegations regarding the statements of non-compliance with several issues on the Keystone Consulting Engineers’ review let ters were also false because the let ters stated that the findings were that the applicant did not pro vide adequate information, rather than that the applicant was not in compliance. Additionally, Har hart stated that he never received a follow-up email from the applicant or a revised plan after additional in formation was requested.

Next, Harhart read section W of the ordinance’s preamble, which states: "When submitting this ac tual land development plan for the warehouse, the applicant shall pro vide a detailed description of the proposed use in each of the top ics." Therefore, the applicant was required to provide a description of

the proposed uses of the warehous es, and not the name of the tenant as Kaplin had suggested. However, the applicant did not provide a suf

ficient response for the detailed proposed uses of the warehouses.

Harhart testified that the ap plicant did not provide adequate information for the following ar eas although a generalized answer was provided: general scale of the operation, terms of its market area, specific floor space requirements

Looking Back

toured in Berlin in 1897, the German general staff was inter ested in a circus. Why?

“They watched the logisti cal problems of moving all the personnel and equipment. They watched the precision with which it was assembled and taken down. The same techniques were then adopted into the German army’s system for transporting men and material whenever it proved fea sible.

“This is fascinating - from cir cus to war?”

Let’s get back to the RB and BB train.

“If you are a circus employee, your living compartment is small, measuring 7 feet high, 6 feet long and 4 feet wide, with cabinets and shelves for storage, a bed that converts into a table and a win dow to watch America pass by. A weekly fee of $10 is deducted from your paycheck to pay for lodging.

“The compartment can be decorated to your taste. Paint or wallpaper it, hang posters or photos of family and friends. It is your place to relax, especially af ter doing a ‘six-pack,’ three shows one day, followed by three more the next day.

“Activities to pass the time are limited to catching up on lost sleep, writing letters, visiting with friends, playing board or card games and, of course, eating in the dining car.

“Yes, the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus was the ‘Greatest Show on Earth.’”

In two weeks, Mr. Horvath will take us on another RB and BB Circus tour.

The board also voted unani mously to formally approve the following Parks and Recreation members effective Jan. 1, 2023: two seats for a one-year term –Louise Bugbee; two seats for a two-year term – Mary Austin and one individual wishing to remain anonymous for news purposes; two seats for a three-year term – Maria Bonnett and Adrienne Ibarra; two seats for a four-year term – Gary Behler and Paul Link; and one seat for a five-year term – vacant. Two members are still needed to fulfill the ordi nance.

In other news, supervisors voted unanimously to adopt the 2023 budget with the current millage remaining unchanged.

Regarding the proposal for the Howertown and Kreidersville Covered Bridge parks master site development plans, the supervi sors have received two responses to their request for proposals and have decided they will conduct

interviews to determine the de sired firm in the next month or two as time permits.

Next, supervisors discussed the Northampton County Bod narczuk preserve subdivision of approximately 40 acres of land. The property will be subdivided into two lots, with lot one being preserved and possibly made into a park, and lot two remaining un der current ownership. The appli cant requested three waivers and a non-building lot waiver, which the Planning Commission recom mended for approval to the board.

Supervisor Gary Behler referred to the purchase of the lot as a bar gain price for the county and very valuable.

The board unanimously voted to approve the plan, subject to the conditions outlined in the Octo ber review letter.

Following, supervisors unani mously voted to approve the re quest for fire and police assistance for the 12th Annual Tucker’s Toy Run on November 5 at 12 p.m. where motorcycles will ride from the parking lot of the Tri-Boro Sportsmen Club to St. Luke’s

Hospital in Bethlehem to drop off toys and gifts.

The board also unanimously approved the purchase of an en closed trailer for the Sewer Cam era and Deployment System and associated tools required for responses throughout the town ship. The trailer will cost a total of $6,109.87 and will be purchased through the township’s sewer funds.

Last, supervisors voted unani mously to approve authorization of the First National Bank Debit Card for the township’s sewer account. Previously, anything purchased through the sewer ac count required transfers between funds from other accounts. Now, the sewer account will be able to make purchases using their own debit card.

Due to the election, supervi sors held their first meeting of the month on Tuesday, Nov. 1. Their next meeting will be Tuesday, Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. at the Allen Township Fire Company, located at 3530 Howertown Rd.

size. Harhart also found that the applicant did not sufficiently provide the specifics of the environmental impacts of odor, noise, smoke, dust, litter, glare, vi bration, electric disturbance, waste water, stormwater, solid waste, etc.

specific measures employed to mitigate or eliminate any of the negative impacts to meet the re quirements of the application.

Following, Backenstoe estab lished through Harhart’s testimony that the applicant did not schedule a meeting with the township engi neer, zoning officer, and PennDOT to define the scope of a traffic study that would show any major traffic impacts to the roads and neighbor hoods.

Additionally, Harhart testified that his interpretation of the pres ervation of the woodlands and the requirement of the 100-foot-wide raised berm buffer yard along the entire length of the property line is that the berm could be construct ed between the building and the road to not disturb the woodlands, which would comply with the or dinance.

Later in the hearing, Stephen M. Walsh from Dynamic Engineering Consultants representing Water’s Edge at Wind Gap, presented a new plan, which had not been seen or reviewed by the township prior to the October hearing and was referred to as the submission of an alternate plan.

The new plan had adjustments made to the buildings, which were rotated to allow for 60% protection of the woodland area and to ensure headlights from tractor trailers are not facing the roads or residential areas, a narrower berm to maximize the benefit of the woodlands, the berm placed behind the woodlands along Jones, removal of the emer gency egress on Jones Road, build ing two was dropped 4’ and set further back, and a 10% increase in size for building two, which in creases the size of the building by approximately 15,000 square feet for a total size of 156,000 square feet.

However, Backenstoe established that the 10% increase in size for building two would pose different calculations for various require ments in the ordinance.

During public comment/ testimony, numerous residents presented their concerns regard ing the intersections around the property, which were explained to

be congested and difficult to ma neuver due to blind spots. Several residents also pointed out that the proposed intersection will make it increasingly unsafe for children that get on and off the school bus in that area because vehicles are unable to stop for the school buses and instead, pass around them.

“Public safety is our number one concern,” Zoning Hearing Board Chairman Jeffrey Ayers assured residents.

Due to the new submission of an alternate land development plan, the township engineer, Zon ing Hearing Board, zoning officer, and public will now have time to review the alternate plan. Chair

man Ayers requested that Horvath prepare a new high-level con ceptual review letter after Walsh provides Horvath with updated specification requirements, which will assess whether the alternate plan meets zoning requirements and will be made public. The next appeal meeting will allow Backen stoe to rebut the exhibit.

The Water’s Edge at Wind Gap warehouse development proposal appeal will reconvene on Thurs day, December 8 at 6 p.m. at the Klecknersville Rangers Volunteer Fire Company, located at 2718 Mountain View Dr.

Hildebrand was encouraged to at least look at the used pumper truck, and Board President Mi chael Jones found information about a used 2016 ladder truck for sale, which he promised to share with Hildebrand. Getting both of these trucks would buy the township time to save money for the purchase of new ones, although it was agreed that the

board must wait until they know what grant money will be coming before any decisions are finalized.

Sandra Hopkins of the rec reation committee brought the new graphic of the proposed sign for Bryfogle field, which was ap proved by the board. She is still gathering information about a public address system.

The board received a request from a township resident for a waiver of a foundation location and elevation survey. On the ad vice of Township Engineer Mi chael Muffley, the board voted to deny the waiver. This was fol lowed by a discussion regarding

the ad hoc committee, which is working on amendments; Miller suggested outsourcing some of the work to a clerical person. The subject was sent back to the com mittee for discussion so that they can decide how best to relieve pressure on their volunteers.

Join with us for a special evening of prayer. It does not matter what church you go to or what your political affiliation is. It will not be a regular church service.

This is a gathering of prayer for the heart and soul and future of our nation, our families, and the universal Body of Christ world-wide.

Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is announcing the Litter Hawk Youth Award Program, a recogni tion program for students in Kin dergarten through 6th Grade, who complete a designated project spe cific to their grade level. Kids can participate individually or as part of a lesson initiated by schools, home-schools, scout troops, 4-H clubs, environmental clubs or oth er organized groups.

The Litter Hawk Youth Award Program is a way for kids to share their hope, optimism and concerns about litter and inspire others to care for their communities through art, words or video. In response to Pennsylvania’s new anti-littering

education campaign, PA Fights

Dirty: Every Litter Bit Matters, the theme is: Show Us How Every Litter Bit Matters to You. Projects include:

• Grades K through 4 - Poster

• Grades 5 and 6 – Essay or video

Two entries will be selected as

winners in each grade level. First place will receive a $50 gift card. First runner-up will receive a $25 gift card. All participants will be recognized with certificates. The deadline to participate is January 31. Winners will be announced in April in time for Earth Day cel ebrations.

The Wolf Administration re leased its Litter Action Plan in 2021 in response to Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful’s 2019 Litter Research Study which found Pennsylvania has more than 500 million pieces of litter on its roadways. As part of the plan, the state launched a pub lic awareness campaign, PA Fights Dirty: Every Litter Bit Matters, this summer. The campaign calls upon Pennsylvanians to ensure every

piece of their trash, regardless of size, is disposed of properly.

“We wanted to help bring aware ness to the state’s new anti-littering campaign by incorporating it into this years’ Litter Hawk theme and have students show us and tell us how every piece of trash matters when keeping our neighborhoods clean and beautiful! Keep Penn sylvania Beautiful believes that engaging youth in protecting the environment not only creates a direct impact on changing behav iors and attitudes, but also influ ences their friends and families,” said Shannon Reiter, President of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful. “We are all responsible for keeping our communities clean and beautiful. This program provides a fun and easy way for students to illustrate respect for the environment and their community.”

The Litter Hawk Youth Award program was created with fund

ing provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.

Tips for voting On Election Day

Submitted by BECKY BARTLETT

On November 8, Northamp ton County’s 154 precincts will be fully staffed for voters who prefer to cast their ballot on the ES&S ExpressVote XL machine. It is suggested that voters wear

comfortable shoes and bring a chair if standing is difficult. Face masks are recommended, but not required.

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters will check in at the registration table on an Epoll book by giving their name. The E-poll book will indicate if the voter is eligible to vote and if they are at the correct polling place. If so, they will sign in on the touchpad. First-time voters and voters who are voting in a new precinct may be required to show ID.

Voters who applied for a mailin or absentee ballot and have turned it in are not eligible to vote at the polls.

Voters who applied for a mailin or absentee ballot, but have de cided they’d rather cast their vote on the machine must give the ballot and the return envelope to the Judge of Elections. After spoiling the ballot, the Judge will have the voter sign a Declaration to Surrender Ballot form. Only then will they be permitted to vote on the ExpressVote XL.

Voters who applied for a mailin ballot, but do not have their ballot or the return envelope with them will be given a provisional ballot. The Elections Board will verify that the voter did not vote by mail before the provisional ballot can be counted.

An instructional video for vot ing on the ES&S ExpressVote XL is available online at Northamp tonVotes.com.

Casting a mail-in or absentee ballot

The Elections Office reminds voters to carefully follow the in structions included with their ballot. “Naked” ballots—those which have not been enclosed in the inner secrecy envelope—will not be counted. The voter should use black or blue ink and must sign and date the back of the return envelope. Mail-in ballots will be declared void if there are any identifying marks on the bal lot or secrecy envelope.

If submitted by mail, the bal lot must be received by 8 p.m. on November 8. Postmarks will not be considered. All return enve lopes include postage; voters do not need to add a stamp.

On Election Day, mail-in bal lots can be returned directly to the Elections Office located on the Lower Level of the Govern ment Center at 669 Washing ton St., Easton by 8 p.m., or at one of the County’s four secure ballot drop-off boxes. The dropoff boxes have different closing times on Election Day. PA State Law states that voters must only drop off their own ballot. If you come into the Elections Office, you may be asked for your ID. If you drop off someone else’s ballot you must have a “Certification of Designated Agent” form on file at the Elections Office. A copy of the form can be downloaded at www.vote.pa.gov

Secure Ballot Drop-off Boxes

• Bethlehem City Hall Ro tunda– 10 E. Church St., Beth lehem, PA 18018- City Hall is closed on Election Day but the ballot drop-off box will be avail able in the Rotunda from 7 a.m.

The timeless contribution of the early Scots-Irish settlement just south of Bath is “the Acad emy.” It is an expression of how they loved and valued education. Those early settlers contributed money and labor in 1785 to build what we now call the Wolf Academy. They were determined that their sons be provided with a formal, classical education. One of those sons educated in the Academy, George Wolf, rose

Congratulations to the Borough of Bath Happy 275th Anniversary

from humble beginnings, born in a nearby log cabin, to become the seventh governor of Pennsyl vania. His best-known legislation was the Pennsylvania Common School Act of 1834, which pro vided free education for all chil dren. The Wolf Academy is the centerpiece of the Governor Wolf Historical Society’s site.

This week’s featured house was the home of one of those early Scots-Irish settlers who helped build the Wolf Academy. The

1813 James H. Horner Home stead is a stone farmhouse that has been restored to its original charm. It is constructed of na tive limestone typical of the early Scotch-Irish homes in this area around Bath. With four fireplaces, original corner Federal Mantels, hardwood floors, exposed beams and a bake oven, the family has spent the last 20 years creating a feel of stepping back in time. The keeping room dates to the late 1700s and has a walk-in fireplace. The large-sized living rooms and bedrooms on the second floor are reflective of James Horner’s status as a gentleman farmer. With orig inal hardware, doors, and mold ings, each room radiates an Early American warmth. The owners have also recreated that same pres ence on the outside of the home with beautiful Williamsburg in spired landscaping and gardens.

With each twist and turn of the home’s unusual floor layout, visitors get to enjoy the stunning views of the original farm fields that are still farmed today. Since acquiring the home in 2002, the 13th family to live here, the ma jor renovations have included re pointing the entire exterior stone, building two new chimneys, get ting all fireplaces working again, replastering some of the interior walls, and painting the entire

home with colonial era colors. New this year is a recent kitch en and great room remodel. But with all that restora tion time and also with three teenage kids, all future plans are just for the ongoing main tenance that an old home ren ders.
