Complaints of FedEx traffic Prompt supervisor response In Allen Township By KERI LINDENMUTH Allen Township supervisors addressed growing concerns about FedEx truck traffic in the township during their October 9 meeting. Specifically, concerns that truck traffic has increased on roads explicitly closed to tractor trailers. Township manager Ilene Eckhart said she has been in contact with the Pennsylvania State
Police, but they “can only do so much.” She has also called the FedEx corporate office to voice residents’ complaints. She said FedEx blamed the GPS map that the drivers use. They gave a timeline of three to five days to have the issue resolved. Resident complaints, she said, are being transmitted. However, residents are not
convinced that the issue will be resolved so quickly. Many of the drivers for FedEx are not FedEx employees, but independent subcontractors who are not able to afford the advanced GPS equipment a company like FedEx may supply employees. As a result, drivers are relying on phone GPS devices that Continued on page 7
Northampton Area High School Theatre Company presents
‘The Diary of Anne Frank’
By KERI LINDENMUTH On October 12 and 13, Northampton Area High School’s Theatre Company brought the true and moving story of Anne Frank to life on stage in their production of “The Diary of Anne Frank.” Based on the best-selling book “Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl,” the play gives audiences a glimpse into the more than two years Anne and her family spent hiding from the Na-
zis in an Amsterdam annex during World War II. The play opens after the end of the war, with Otto Frank, Anne’s father, returning to the empty annex where his family and their friends, the Van Daans, once hid. There he finds Anne’s diary and the play transports audiences back to 1942 and the Frank’s arrival to the annex. The play follows the Franks and Continued on page 2

Anne Frank Continued from page 1
Van Daans as they live quietly above the shop along the Amsterdam canals. During the day, they can barely move and must sit quietly until the business is closed. Food and even water are limited. They are given rations and news from the generous Miep Geis
and Mr. Kraler, employees of the shop. As food and patience run low, tensions arise between the two families stuck in the small rooms hidden behind a book case. The impatient and grouchy Doctor Dussell soon joins the families in the annex. The audience witnesses the families during their fear of air raids and intruders and during their joys of Ally invasions. Soon, romance blooms between Anne
and the Van Daan son Peter. However, only a year before the end of the war, the families are discovered by the Nazis and sent to concentration camps. Only Otto survives. The play was directed by Gianna Neal, who said she knew this heartbreaking production would not be an easy one for students. However, Neal says students in the cast “really tried to empathize with the people of the play.” “I watched them have so many moments of clarity as they connected to their character on a personal level,” she continues. Celia Doll portrayed Anne Frank, perfectly capturing the young girl’s innocence and her strength, not letting the walls of the cramped annex limit her imagination, kindness, and love for those around her. Brandon Costanzo played Otto Frank, the patriarch of the family who leads them into
hiding. He bravely attempts to maintain a sense of normalcy in the annex even as war and death wage around them. He teaches Anne, his daughter Margot, and Peter their lessons. He reads Anne stories. He even leads the families in a Hanukah celebration. Elaina Bastow played Anne’s mother Edith. The protective Edith and Anne have a tense relationship at first, but soon grow closer. Senior Korina Zambrano played Margot Frank. Her quietness makes her different from her outgoing sister in every way. Billy Bachiashvili and Kaitlin Kolonia played Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan, whose bickering stands in stark contrast to the loving relationship of the Franks. When it is revealed that Mr. Van Daan has been stealing food, the couple is nearly kicked out of the annex. Austin Fleury played Peter Van Daan. Stubborn and lonesome at first, Peter soon grows fond of the outgoing Anne and the two form

a deep friendship that give them each something to look forward to as the war drags on. Tulsa McGinnis played Doctor Dussell. Cranky and serious, his quarrelling with Anne brings several light moments to the otherwise heavy production. Neal was impressed with her students’ ability to bring this story to life. “They keep [Anne’s] spirit alive and breathe new life into her account of the war and [the Franks’] hiding,” she says. This play, says Neal, teaches the student actors and the audience not only about “these horrific events in history, but also much about human nature, love, and growing up.” They are lessons audiences can relate to 70 years later.

By CAROL RITTER Can you believe it? Shark Tank is 10 years old. It’s a fun, hit-itout of the park television show. Entrepreneurs from all over the country try their luck at getting a deal with the famous Mark Cuban, the marvelous Barbara Corcoran, the brilliant Lori Greiner, the talented Daymon John, the debonair Robert Herjavec, and, of course, the wonderful, Mr. Wonderful, Kevin O’Leary. All contestants walk down the hall of fame or maybe the hall of shame, if they don’t get a deal, in the very dramatic opening and ending of the show. Having only a few minutes to pitch their product or service, they definitely don’t want to tick off any of the sharks; it’s the kiss of death. What they want more than a deal is their connections. The sharks are all experienced at knowing what will sell and what won’t. The top ten sellers are, my favorite, the Scrub Daddy, a sponge that has made $170 million. 2. Simply Fit Board and exercise board that made $152 million 3. The famous Squatty Potty (not explaining this) $140 million 4. Tipsy Elves Ugly Christmas Sweaters $100 million 5. Bombas (socks) $78 million 6. Sleep Styler, Hairstyling accessories $56 million 7. Cousins Maine Lobster (seafood trucks) $50 million 8. FiberFix (repair tape) $50 million 9. Bantam Bagels (stuffed bagel puffs) $40 million 10. Grace & Lace $36 million Statistically, the Sharks select food and beverage deals first, household and kitchen products second and sports and fitness third. Here’s what they all had in
common: • A realistic valuation is a must • The business needs to have solid sales • The sharks love proprietary products that can be licensed • They want to meet an entrepreneur that is hungry for success • And a lively/effective presentation is a plus How about you, do you have a “Shark Tank” idea?
Creative Corner Why were WWI soldiers Called Dough Boys?
By KATHLEEN UNGER When the American army was in Mexico fighting Pancho Fillia, their uniforms became covered with the local dirt. They began to look like Adobe-clay material that the Mexicans used to build their huts. An English cavalryman observed that the Americans looked like Adobe boys. The American soldiers did not like the term Adobe boys and changed it to Doughboys, although Civil War memoirs indicated that the first doughboys were British riflemen fighting a century earlier in the Peninsular War against the forces of Napoleon.

dle in the Window,” a German custom that welcomed travelers. The Home News will feature one of the homes each week until tour day. This week’s historic home is at the western edge of the Borough of Bath. The home is red brick, built in the Craftsman style in 1928. Craftsman houses were inspired primarily by the Greene brothers who built homes in California from 1893 to 1914. The
style quickly spread throughout the country by pattern books and popular magazines. The home features the characteristic fullwidth front porch, large centered dormer, and braces under the gables. Inside there is the original staircase, stained glass and brick fireplace in the living room. Wonderful collections of motion lamps, banks, soft-paste china, and agateware will delight you against a backdrop of Christmas

Congrats to Northampton’s Mayor Tom Reenock for being named “Distinguished Citizen of the Year” by the Boy Scouts. He received a plaque showing five merit badges he no doubt earned, knowing him: labor, community citizenship, national citizenship, crime prevention and electricity. . . .That was a shock to read in Keri’s story that Miller’s Diner was abandoned, and that they can’t locate the owners. As one person said, “It’s sad.” . . .Still watching those baseball playoffs on TV. I was surprised to see that at the Boston game, an upper tier of seats was empty. Probably couldn’t get a sell out with the high cost of tickets. It’s getting close to the wire now, as ties are broken and they play the best-of-seven. The Yankees are long gone, and that was surprising with those big hitters they have. Sorry, Marge, I hope the Astros win again, even though the Red Sox deserve it after the big regular season they had with 108 wins. I’m still sticking with the Milwaukee Brewers over the L.A. Dodgers, but that probably won’t happen. . . . Boy, I sure got a lot out of Doc Clearie’s column on aging. How true it is, all he said. If you missed it, pick up a copy. We’re all getting older, so take one day at a time and make it a good one. . . .Late fall reminds us that winter is coming. The historical society gave us another reminder – announcing their annual Christmas House Tour on December 1. From what Carol said in last week’s paper, it’s gonna be a lotta fun for the kids, too, this year. 38 years of doing it. Wow! The Governor Wolf Historical Society is a really active group and they do a great job of preserving our heritage and letting us know what we have in these house tours, year after year. . . . I received a couple questions from our readers: “Where is Horner’s Cemetery”? The answer: About a hundred feet behind God’s Missionary Church, located midway between Bath and Northampton along Rt. 329, and, “How come Northampton calls their Halloween parade the Jack Frost Parade?” I don’t know the answer to that one. Maybe a member of the Exchange Club, which sponsors it, will give me the answer. It started many years ago, so I don’t know if present members remember. Maybe Ed Pany might know. Anyhow, it’s always good, so enjoy it tonight, Thursday, October 18. But, bundle up! Temperatures are gonna be way down on account of a cold front that’s coming in today – 37 degrees and windy. Bath’s parade is next Tuesday, October 23 at 7:00 p.m. . . . Speaking about the cold front, we might see frost on Saturday. I’m not ready for winter!!! . . . . That horse chestnut tree down at the Race St. corner of Keystone Park is still doing good. If you didn’t know it, Ye Ed got in from Mount Vernon when Bath celebrated its anniversary in 1962. It came in by U.S. mail . . . .Gotta go. Time to seal the windows and other winterizing.

FedEx Traffic Continued from page 1
take them through Fullerton and into Catasauqua via Race Street. Other drivers are finding their way to Weaversville Road. The widening of the Willowbrook Road Bridge from two to three lanes also has residents concerned about truck traffic making its way deeper into the township. The bridge is being widened because traffic studies show more car traffic using Willowbrook Road to enter North Catasauqua. However, residents say the bridge will be “an attractive nuisance” that welcomes truck traffic. “Nobody can stop these trucks from going North [on Willowbrook],” one resident said. Residents asked supervisors to put more “heat” on FedEx and invite corporate officials to meetings so they can hear residents’ concerns themselves. Residents request proactivity from supervisors.
----------------------“FedEx is only the tip of the iceberg,” another resident said. -----------------------
“FedEx is only the tip of the iceberg,” another resident said. In other news, a sinkhole on Willowbrook Road alongside Catasauqua High School grows larger as North Catasauqua and Allen Township decipher who owns the property. The sinkhole is in a UGI utility area, close to a gas line, water line, and communication line. Catasauqua High School plans have the land belonging to North Catasauqua, but there are conflicting reports to those plans as well as to the location of the gas line. Although some residents report the odor of natural gas, UGI told the township the line is not in danger. The township’s main concern is finding out “who owns what and where.”

Members of the Northampton High School Class of 1948 had a reunion on Friday morning, marking 70 years since they graduated. Less than half of the class is still alive, but those who remain had a joyous breakfast together at a Coplay restaurant. Verna Hoffman Chandick welcomed them and Bill Halbfoerster offered prayer. Annetta Wasser Reichard received an e-mail in which the editor of a newspaper in California recounted the friendship he had with the late Richard Phillips, a member of the class. Sent by Phillips’ wife, it was read at the reunion. Philips was president of a California company. – Home News photo
Moore Township Land Preservation continues to grow Submitted by PETER LOCKE Moore Township’s Land and Environmental Preservation Board continues to preserve land and is looking for land owners who want to preserve their land

on the process and benefits. Over the years, the township has preserved over 30 farms and 2,000 acres. Moore Township has the third largest area under preservation of all municipalities in Northampton County. This has only been possible with the full support of our Board of Supervisors and the volunteers who serve on the Land and Environmental Preservation Board. This year even more farmland will be preserved under the Township and County Farmland Preservation Program. We are also adding more land, woods and wetlands for preservation through Open Space Preservation. Preserving natural areas is just as valuable as farmland. Moore Township is blessed with Kittatinny Ridge to our north and we have the head waters to four major streams that are better protected through preservation. Protecting our water supply, air and the rural nature of Moore Township has been a key demand by residents and are goals of the Township’s Open Space Program. None of this would be possible except for the participation of residents who have preserved their land for us to enjoy today and for many generations to come. Moore Township will be hosting an Open House for residents on Land Preservation, Thursday, November 8 at 7 p.m. in the township building on Community Drive for those who might be interested in preserving their land or just need to have more information. There will be a presentation by Laura Baird, Senior Land Conservationist of the Heritage Conservancy.

East Allen calls For meeting with Allen Supervisors To discuss Seemsville Road By KERI LINDENMUTH Following plans PennDOT has with Jaindl-Watson to move Seemsville Road to the east, East Allen Supervisors are calling for a special inter-municipal meeting with Allen Township supervisors. An inter-municipal agreement is needed between the two townships to cover maintenance requirements. The new part of Seemsville Road will continue to remain a state road. The “old” part of the road will revert to the townships. Plans for maintenance and right-of-way must be agreed upon within 30-45 days of the developer’s notice to the township. However, Board of Supervisors president Roger Unangst said this is a timeline East Allen cannot meet if they want to “get their ducks in a row.” Unangst called for an internal special meeting between East Allen Supervisors for mid-to-late January, followed by an inter-municipal meeting with Allen Township. The developer’s timeline, Unangst said, is not East Allen’s problem. “This township has been kept in the dark,” he said. Township solicitor Joseph Piperato believes an extension will be granted, giving the township time to plan. However, the idea of more truck traffic in and near the
township is not something residents are particularly fond of. New warehouses and development, said resident Sara Derremer, “Never benefit any of us.” She said quality of life and home values are being destroyed. “We saved for so many years to buy our dream property,” she said. “When do we get a real say in any of this?”

Have You Tasted?
An infidel had just completed an eloquent address to a large audience. “And now, does anyone have any questions?” he asked. An old man, who had been a drunkard most of his life but who had recently become a Christian, shuffled down the aisle and ascended the platform. Taking an orange from his pocket, he began to peel it. The lecturer asked him to state his question, but the old man just went on--peeling his orange and eating it section by section. Finally, wiping his hands on his pocket handkerchief, the old man turned to the lecturer and said: “Here’s my question. Can you tell me, was that orange sour or sweet?” “Idiot!” retorted the lecturer in anger. “How do I know? I never tasted it!” To which the elderly man replied: “And how can you know anything about Christ, if you have never tasted Him?” Experience outweighs any argument! I urge you to taste—to experience the love, peace, and joy of sins forgiven through faith in Christ! Let Jesus prove Himself in your life as did the converted drunkard. Then you will understand the significance of Psalm 34:8, “O taste and see that the Lord is good!” Honestly seek the Lord in prayer and He will satisfy you! “For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness” (Psalm 107:9). Jesus declared in John 6:35, “I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst” (see www.naog.ws/thirsty.htm). A verse of a song we sing in our church asks, “Have you tasted that the Lord is gracious? Do you walk in the way that’s new? Have you drunk from the living fountain? There’s honey in the Rock for you!” Many “have tasted that the Lord is gracious” (I Peter 2:3). Taste now by humbly asking Jesus to save you from your sin and see! Visit the church or contact us, and we will do all we can to help you experience the goodness of the Lord!

Obituaries Bruce M. Applegate
Bruce Morris Applegate, 72, of Wellsboro, formerly of Nazareth, passed peacefully to eternal rest on Saturday, Oct. 6, 2018, at his home. He was the loving husband of Bonnie L. (Filchner) Applegate. They celebrated their 52nd wedding anniversary on May 14. Born in Wilson Borough on Nov. 4, 1945, he was a son of the late Morris J. and Lucille W. (Flick) Applegate. A 1963 graduate of Nazareth Area High School, Bruce worked as an accountant at the Bethlehem Steel Corporation for 31 years. He also worked as the theater director at Nazareth Area High School for 24 years and was Executive Director of the Blue Eagle Education Foundation. Bruce was a member of the Nazareth Lions and Rotary Clubs and was a very active member of Holy Cross Lutheran Church where he served as a lay pastor, church treasurer, Sunday school teacher and superintendent, and participated in vocal and bell choirs. Bruce’s love of theater began when he was in fifth grade. Over the years he appeared in or directed over 150 productions in the Lehigh Valley, with the Whitfield Players, and Pennsylvania Playhouse, and other groups. He co-produced Nazareth’s Heritage Revue for the 250th anniversary in 1990 and was remembered as “the real Santa’ by those who heard his annual reading of “The Night Before Christmas” at the Nazareth Memorial Library during the walking tours. Bruce, aka, Santa appeared at the Nazareth community tree lighting ceremony for more than thirty years and generations of families had the gift of home visits from Santa for nearly 48 years. After retiring to Wellsboro in 2008, Bruce continued his involvement in theater where he worked with Hamilton Gibson productions as a performer, director, and overseer of the conversion of a local warehouse into their new theater space. Bruce’s commitment to the community, constant pursuit of excellence and quiet strength have left us with beautiful memories and a legacy
to live up to. Survivors: In addition to his loving wife, Bonnie, he is survived by two daughters, Denise Delp, of DuBois, and Karen Steele and her husband, Kirth, of Emmaus; four grandchildren, Erin McLaughlin, Brandon Dollar and his wife, Melissa (Canaway), Cory McLaughlin, and Wayne Bruce Delp. Bruce was preceded in death by his brother, Ronald M. Applegate. Services were held on Saturday, Oct. 13, 2018, at noon in the George G.

Wolf admin. Reminds drivers To beware of deer This fall as crashes And fatalities rose In 2017 Submitted by RON RUMAN Insurance Commissioner Jessica Altman and Acting State Police Commissioner Lieutenant Colonel Robert Evanchick today reminded drivers this is the time of year drivers are most likely to be involved in a deer-related crash, noting total crashes, as well as those involving injuries and those resulting in fatalities, rose in 2017. Figures compiled by State
www.HomeNewsPA.com
Farm Insurance show Pennsylvania drivers had a 1-in-63 chance of a deer-related crash from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, the same as the prior 12 months, and the third-highest rate in the country. However, while State Farm reports the chance of hitting a deer dropped slightly for the nation last year, the number of crashes rose in Pennsylvania. PennDOT reports the number of deer-related crashes rose from 5,468 in 2016 to 5,674 in 2017. Also, the number of fatalities rose from 13 to 17, and the number of injuries was up slightly, from 1,267 to 1,275. Fatal deer-related crashes occurred in 14 of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties last year. These include Berks (1 fatality), Blair (2), Bradford (2), Bucks (1), Carbon (1), Chester (1), Clearfield (1), Erie (1), Fulton (1), Philadelphia (1), Pike (1), Somerset (1), Westmoreland (2), and York (1). “Fall is breeding season for deer, and they may be less aware of their surroundings,” Altman advised. “Deer also often travel in groups, so if you see one deer, there are often more nearby.” November is the month when drivers are most likely to have a deer-related crash, according to insurance industry information. October and December are the second and third most likely months for these crashes. Dawn and dusk are the peak times for deer activity, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission. When daylight saving time ends November 4, more drivers will be traveling to and from work and school at these times of day. “Deer-related crashes and other collisions can cause serious injury and thousands of dollars in property damage,” said Lieutenant Colonel Evanchick. “Drivers should slow down, buckle up, and never drive distracted to keep themselves and their passengers safe.” In Pennsylvania, two types of crashes must be reported to the police: crashes that result in one or more vehicles being damaged to the point that they cannot be driven from the scene and collisions that result in injury or death.

DAPHNE MAYER The City of Easton and the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor are once again co-hosting a family-friendly Halloween event at Hugh Moore Park in late October. Haunted Hugh Moore Park features a “spooktacular” ride on the Josiah White II canal boat, family-friendly Halloween activities, and a nottoo-scary ghost walk to the lock tender’s house with ghost stories that scream fun. This ghoulish event returns for a fifth year on October 19, 20, 26, and 27 from 6 until 9 p.m. The evening of spookery in the park starts with guests taking a twilight canal boat ride along historic Section 8 of the Lehigh Canal drawn by our two mules, Hank and George. After the canal boat ride, our docents will lead everyone on a spooky walk from the National Canal Museum to the lock tender’s house next to the Chain Dam. This year, ghost walk participants will encounter tragic spirits from railroad history, tying
in with the National Canal Museum’s special exhibition, “Powering America: Pennsylvania’s Anthracite Railroads.” Other experiences include a bonfire with s’mores, a hayride ending in a pumpkin patch, and viewings of classic scary films. Ghostly goodies and hot apple cider will also be served. Participation is by reservation only; each night is limited to 80 people. Participants are asked to arrive in the park by 6 p.m. and board the Josiah White II canal boat at 6:15 p.m. Activities conclude at 9 p.m. The cost is $18 per adult, $12 per child (ages 3-15), and children under 3 are free. Reservations for “Haunted Hugh Moore Park” are on a firstcome, first-served basis. Tickets are sold online at: https://canals. org/product/haunted-hughmoore-park/. For more information, call Loretta Susen at 610923-3548 x221. During October, the public is also invited to enjoy “Canal Appreciation Month.” Go to https://canals.org/events/ for more information.

Submitted by ASHLEY PONTIUS The recent death of legendary singer-songwriter Aretha Franklin initially posed a quandary for her four surviving sons. Because she didn’t leave a will, her $80 million fortune – including Franklin’s numerous real estate holdings – likely will take longer to divide, and the process could become complicated. Although Franklin’s sons appointed her niece to execute the estate, the situation brings to mind how family feuds and other problems can potentially result when inheritance portions aren’t clearly defined, or when an executor may be in over their head. Many newfound executors can face uncertainty and feel stress when inheriting a property after the death of a loved one.

“Inheriting a property can come as a shock and may feel like an insurmountable obstacle,” says Alex Lehr (www. lehrrealestate.com), a real estate broker and author of The Unexpected Sale: Guidance For The Executor/Administrator Of An Estate. “Especially in the wake of a family tragedy or death, being the executor of an estate can be challenging. And usually the biggest asset in an estate – and the most difficult to resolve – is a house.” 1. Lehr provides a list of important decisions the executor might face when a house is part of an inheritance: To keep, rent or sell. Competing interests among siblings can make the right decision difficult. “Caught in the middle, the executor has to ask the heirs to keep their emotions under control and put the rational facts on the table,” Lehr says. “Selling is often the best decision if medical bills, tax issues or other reasons require cashing out. And it produces a specific amount that can be divided equally.” 2. Can you manage a property investment? When considering keeping the property in the family, the executor needs to be objective about the beneficiaries’ dependability. “Would you choose the other beneficiaries to be your partners in any longterm investment?” asks Lehr. “Could they get divorced, go bankrupt or bring other entanglements?” And if you decide to rent the property, Lehr says there are issues to consider such as the local market for rentals and your ability to maintain the property.
3. Establishing value of the property. If one heir or beneficiary wants to buy the house, the estate must determine the market value and get a fair price for the heirs and beneficiaries. “One way is to get two appraisals, and to look at estimates from a real estate website such as Zillow,” Lehr says. “Alternatively, the executor can put the property on the market with the expressed provision that one of the heirs has the right of first refusal to match the highest offer.” 4. Repair and renovate? The executor must make sure the house is maintained in good condition, necessary repairs are carried out, and that it’s kept insured. “An executor can be personally liable for failure to maintain a property that results in losses for the heirs,” Lehr says. “But how much work is worthwhile before putting a home on the market? That’s a big question that depends on the property and circumstances.” 5. Furnished or unfurnished? It’s not unusual for an inherited home to be filled with a 30-year accumulation of stuff. “In most cases, when the property goes on the market, thinning out the furnishings will help it show better,” Lehr says. “Nine out of 10 buyers first see the home in online photographs.” “Being an executor is a highresponsibility, time-consuming, and often thankless job that people often take on while grieving,” Lehr says. “It’s up to the executor to assess not only the physical assets of an estate, but also the people and emotions involved.
