Beautification project of Creek Road begins

submitted by FRANK HESCH III On Saturday, September 26 the Community and Economic Development Committee of Bath Borough began what they hope to be a multiple stage effort to beautify the area near Creek Road in the Borough. Trees were planted to help screen a section of Borough property that in the future

may serve as an area designed to fulfill multiple needs, from the storage of stone, fill, and mulch for Borough projects to an area where limbs and yard waste can be collected, in an effort to provide more resources for Borough residents. The Creek Road area Continued on page 5

Bath Restaurant Week will run October 4 through October 10. Fourteen businesses will be participating in the event, presented by the Greater Bath Area Chamber of Commerce. “[This] has been something we have been working on for the last year and we felt that more than ever we should be doing this for our businesses, as our businesses need us, the community, to support local,” says Jessica O’Donnell, EVP of Affiliated Chambers for the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber. Participating restaurants will be offering a variety of affordable dishes, take out specials, and gift card deals, as well as safe-dining options. “We hope that our community members step up and support our local businesses and all that they have to offer, especially during these challenging times,” adds O’Donnell. She hopes restaurant owners see plenty of new faces during the week and know that their friends, family, and neighbors have their back. With so many options to choose from, we know picking your breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert might be a challenge! My Place Pizza Restaurant Week Special: Make any $25 purchase and receive a

$10 gift card toward a future purchase. Fan Favorite Dishes: Among the most loved and popular dishes is Manny’s Special Sicilian.

They’ll still be in their usual location on Fridays but at a new time, 2:30 until 5:30 p.m..Diane Lager gave me a big thank you for the mention of the Bath Museum’s anniversary last week. I had the pleasure of meeting her during last year’s Christmas House Tour, our final stop was at the Siegfried Log Cabin where we ran into Diane, she was manning the cabin and passing out those amazing molasses cookies. I managed to snag the last one and got the recipe too. I am saddened to hear that the GWHS won’t be having the Christmas House Tour this year. They’re still going to do some festive things though so stay tuned for that...An employee has tested positive for the coronavirus at Point Phillips Hotel, however because they follow government guidelines for masks and spacing, the CDC has said their diners do not meet the definition of close contact with any of

their staff...There was a structure fire at the Subway/Shell station on Nor-Bath Blvd. last weekend, smoke was reported in the building...An SUV crashed into a house without breaking last week at the triangular intersection with Daniels Road in Lower Nazareth Township, the impact was around 4:45 p.m. and forced part of the two-story home off its foundation. It also tore the electrical panel from the wall, causing a fire that spread among the first-floor’s floorboards...Also last week in Lower Nazareth Township, a dump truck rolled on its side during a four-vehicle crash last Wednesday morning, it shut down Newburg and Georgetown Roads. So many crashes within the past few weeks, drive carefully out there...Participating Bath restaurants are gearin’ up for Bath Restaurant Week next week, we have lotsa information about their specials in this week’s issue...We’re still accepting photos for our October Photo of the Month contest.

NORTHAMPTON AREA Allen Township rejects Pyrotechnic Club Display, pushes forward with trick-or-treat By KERI LINDENMUTH During their September 22 virtual meeting, the Allen Township Board of Supervisors heard from the Lappawinzo Fish and Game Protective Association and the Northern Lights Pyrotechnic Club. The two clubs were seeking to hold a consumer and display fireworks event that would consist of nearly five hours of fireworks, from 3:30 to 8:30 p.m. with a thirty-minute break. However, supervisors were quick to turn down the request. It was a similar event in 2018, they said, that prompted them to pass the township’s fireworks ordinance. That year, residents were subjected to the sound of fireworks for over 12 hours. Now, township ordinance allows for

only one hour of fireworks in any 24-hour period. Brett Hallden, the pyrotechnic club’s safety officer, said the event would be for charity and would help the fish and game club financially. He also said local hotels, restaurants, and shops would benefit from the number of visitors to the area. “We hope that our meager financial contribution to the local area is able to offset the [level of nuisance],” he said. “I will stand by our ordinance,” countered Supervisor Gerald Montaneri. He cited the impact fireworks have on both residents and pets. “A half an hour of it is enough.” Supervisor Dale Hassler abstained from the vote since he is

a member of the fish and game club. Meanwhile, Supervisor Carl Edwards voted in favor of the event, arguing that it is only one day per year. Despite this, the request was still denied by supervisors three to one. Meanwhile, supervisors did vote to allow trick-or-treat to move forward on October 31 from 6 until 8 p.m. “From a health standpoint, it is a bad idea,” said Supervisor Gary Behler. “On the flip side, because each family can make that decision for themselves...I would be okay allowing trick-or-treat to continue.” Supervisors urged residents to keep their porch lights off if they do not want trick-or-treaters.

LT Supervisors Discuss Budget, award Cherryville bid

by JOE KORBA At the September 22 meeting of the Lehigh Township Supervisors, which began an hour earlier than usual at 6 p.m., they addressed preliminary budget concerns and awarded the longanticipated bid for work on the Cherryville intersection. The meeting was extended for the budget discussion which included looking into two new body cameras for the police department, as part of the capital improvement plan, and digital radios. The Public Works Department said there was no need to replace generators, which could be pushed off to another year. They are, however, looking into getting a new skid loader for approximately $120,000. Chairperson Cindy Miller was skeptical of allocating funds to a loader that is rarely used. “We need to put out $120,000 on a piece of equipment that we don’t use a lot?” she asked. The Parks and Recreation Department requested new rules and regulations signs, as well as a hot dog roller for the concession stand, to be included in the budget. Township Manager Alice Rehrig noted that medical costs will be going up between seven and eight percent and real estate taxes will be around $5,000, a reduction from last year because of a better collection rate. An upgraded e-mail platform is also in the works. They can either renew for $621 annually, or go with a new service for $645 for the first year with a $1,200 a year subscription after. Although the new service is more expensive, Rehrig said that they will be forced to upgrade eventually. She also ad-

dressed putting some funds towards updating the Township’s website. The final approval of the budget and further discussion will take place at a meeting later this year. Work at the intersection of Route 248 and Blue Mountain Drive in Cherryville has been ongoing for years. The project, now in its fourth stage, will culminate with a new Turkey Hill on the opposite side of the road from the existing one. After accepting final bids before the last meeting, the supervisors passed a motion to accept a $433,052 bid from Lehigh Valley Site Contractors, based in Easton. Their bid was over $8,000 lower than their nearest competitor. The board seemed relieved to be moving forward. “This is a happy night,” Miller said, noting that they have been working on this project for over five years. Township Solicitor David Backenstoe finalized revised language in the short-term rental ordinance that would stand up to challenges of exclusionary zon-

ing. The ordinance now defines transient visitors, includes a provision that anyone who wishes to rent rooms has to fill out a detailed application with the Township that must be renewed every year and can be revoked after two ordinance violations, sets a maximum of five bedrooms in short-term rental properties and requires proprietors who don’t reside or have an office on premises to apply for an exception. The motion to advertise the ordinance passed while some residents in attendance clapped. Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors meetings are held 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. There has been a time change for upcoming meetings. Instead of the usual 7 p.m. start, the October 13 meeting will be at 6 p.m.. The October 27 meeting will be at 5 p.m. with a discussion of an inter-municipal liquor license transfer first on the agenda.

employees was offered a position as the township secretary. If the offer is accepted, she would have to go through the usual probationary period of six months. The other two are seasonal employees working in the Parks and Recreation department. Next, the board discussed and approved drafting a resolution that would convert the current sodium vapor street lights to LED lights. This only applies to their PPL lights, which are mainly on the western side of Airport Road. The change would save the township around $4 a month. Board members voted to approve the purchase of a used 2000 Eglin Pelican Street Sweeper from Walnutport Borough for $17,500. There are no major problems with the street sweeper; it only needs one part replaced, which the board also approved the purchase of for $2,000. Jim Milot, the township’s engineer, stated that Imperial Realty’s new plan for the Airport Road Commercial Center will be on the agenda for the next Planning Commission Meeting. The next Planning Commission Meeting will be held on Thursday, October 1 at 7 p.m. The East Allen EMS team brought on another volunteer and staff member. However, they are still looking to hire more staff; qualified candidates can fill out an application on their website. Purchasing a new ambulance is in the works, so the department will be collecting donations and fundraising to help with the costs. Continued on page 12

Allen Township residents want Homestead Estates Trail to stay By KERI LINDENMUTH After exploring plans to close off the Homestead Estates Pedestrian Spur Trail following safety concerns, the Allen Township Board of Supervisors heard from a handful of residents in favor of keeping the trail. Several homeowners in and around Homestead Estates participated in the supervisors’ September 22 virtual meeting, expressing their love for the trail and the benefits it provides “Individuals in the community have grown fond of the path over the years,” said borough manager Ilene Eckhart. “A majority of Homestead Estate residents did not know about the complaints,” said resident Maria Gougoustamos. She added that the trail brings the community together. Residents walk their dogs, exercise,

ride bikes, and play with their children. The trail also provides a safe way of accessing Wayne Grube Park, since East Bullshead Road has no sidewalks. Plans for eliminating the trail were explored after a resident complained of loitering and trespassing. However, those present during Tuesday’s meeting said that resident, Joseph Younes, did not speak for them. Younes, who was present during the meeting, said he did not want to take away convenience from any resident, but safety concerns outweigh any convenience. “People are constantly walking by and staring at us,” he said. “I gave it time, [but] it just seemed to be something that repeated itself more often than I would like it to.” He cited walkers taking pictures of his home, watching

children, and loitering. His two young daughters accompanied him during the virtual meeting. His oldest daughter said she worries about playing outside and described seeing men on the trail watching her play. Susan Mattaboni, a neighbor, said residents should have known what they bought into when purchasing a home alongside a trail. Meanwhile her husband, John, acknowledged that there is a little bit of an insecurity and invasion of privacy. He asked supervisors whether the trail could remain private for use by Homestead Estates residents only. Neighbor Kevin Fenstermaker expressed similar concerns and asked whether the trail could be gated and residents could be given a key. Solicitor Lincoln Treadwell asked residents to think carefully about this request. The trail can either be private or public. If it is private, it will have to be maintained by residents. If it stays public, the township cannot restrict its use. Supervisors decided to leave

the future of the trail up to residents. “Let them really think this out and come back later,” said Supervisor Gerarld Montanari. “They live as a community, let them work it out.” Supervisor Gary Behler agreed. “[We want to] do what is best for the community...but we did not hear the whole community,” he said. “I think the community themselves should come up with a consensus for what they want to do and bring that to us. The township can help design and implement.” In the meantime, the township will send residents a questionnaire and visit the trail themselves to see whether or not there are visible safety concerns.
