Concrete Busters,

In today’s column, we are looking at a 1946 football pro gram for a game between the Allentown Buccaneers and the Northampton Concrete Bust ers.

Ms. Chris Damore, a 1965 graduate of Northampton High School, is sharing this program for our readers. Her father, Phil, was a cocaptain of the team. He was the

quarterback when Northamp ton High School won the Le high Valley League football championship in 1942.

After World War II, the Eastern Pennsylvania pro league was formed. The Con crete Busters team was formed by a number of local business men. One was Dave Phillips,

Paul Bachnick and Phil DaMore.

Pumpkin Carving Tips and Tricks

Choose the Right Pumpkin

patch where you can pick your own pumpkin right out of the field.

3. Check for blemishes.

want a pumpkin without any bruising, soft spots, wrinkles or other damage that could cause premature rotting. Also select a pumpkin with uniform color ing.

4. Shape matters. The best carving pumpkins have uni form, rounded sides with a flat bottom. The flat bottom will ensure your carved pumpkin

doesn’t roll away. Look for a place that offers a variety of pumpkin aptly named JackO-Lantern. This variety was bred specifically to have fea tures that are desirable for carving.

5. Bigger is better. Large pumpkins are easier to carve because you have a bigger work surface. Also, a pump kin that’s heavier than it looks is a quality pumpkin.

Carving Your Pumpkin Masterpiece

1. There are three options for the opening you’ll make to clean the pumpkin out and place your light source.

Top – It’s a popular choice to cut the hole in the top. If you do, angle your knife at 45 degrees when you make the cut. This solves the prob lem of the top falling inside the pumpkin when you put the “lid” on.

Back – Pumpkins are vine plants, and it turns out that the stem is there for a reason. It delivers moisture and nu trients to the pumpkin. By severing the stem from the pumpkin when you cut a “lid” in the top, you actually speed up the rotting process. You can solve this problem by cutting the hole in the back of your pumpkin. And there’s no tricky “lid” to deal with either.

Bottom – You can also cut the hole in the bottom of the pumpkin. This allows you to cut off any bumps that may be on the bottom, so the jack-o-lantern sits flat. It also leaves the stem intact, and there’s no “lid” like the above method. Finally, you can just place the pumpkin over your light source, rath er than having to put your hand inside. This is really helpful if you choose to use a candle to light your jacko-lantern. The one con to cutting a hole in the bottom is that sometimes moisture will run out from inside the pumpkin. Be sure to place the pumpkin on something

who was an official with our Tru Blu Brewery. Al Erdosy, successful Northampton High School coach, was asked to coach the Busters. Many of the players played for Al on his high school team. A few mem bers of Northampton’s famous “1937 Wonder Team” joined the squad.

The opening game was scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 15, 1946, 2:30 p.m., on Wolf Field. When the Busters called for players, 30 sturdy young men joined the new team. Twenty men were World War II veterans. Phil Damore, who left school and enlisted in the U.S. Navy, was one of the first men to join.

Coach Erdosy held some practices at 7 p.m., after his high school practices. He really loved football!

In looking at the lineup, many men came from our neighborhoods. Some names our older readers may remem ber: John Chermansky, Louis Skok, former Wonder Team teammates, Gene Miletics, Al Eberhard, Richard Reimer, Andy Krill, John Jurasits, John Hewko, Charles Wolfe and Steve Pritko.

In those days, Wolf Field was very busy. The high school played on Saturday afternoons, the Busters on Sunday. There were no lights or Astro Turf, just good, hard-nosed football.

The Allentown Buccaneers’ owner was Dick Stewart. His lineup included many players with college experience. Some

of the schools mentioned were Florida A&M, Clemson, Tem ple, St. Joseph’s, Moravian and Seton Hall. Only the players’ family names were listed on the roster.

As a youth, I saw some of the games. We saw these strong men as our neighborhood he roes. Their compensation was usually based on gate receipts. There were no player agents.

They loved the game and their community.

We hope to see you again in two weeks.

only be open for private events and not used as a public bar, Giovanni, Jr. told supervisors it will not impact the “welfare, peace, and morals” of the town ship.

Supervisors unanimously ap proved this request.

Ron Check also appeared before the board for two other requests during the October 11 meeting. The first was for pre liminary/final approval of the property’s development plan.

The township’s planning com mission had previously recom mended approval of the plan, with the condition that fund ing be set aside for future curb ing and sidewalks. The board unanimously approved this pre liminary/final plan with these conditions.

The second request was to trim pear trees lining the prop erty. Ron Check is the only HOA owner on the road. The board approved this request as long as Check notifies other

residents.

In other news, Gene Clater appeared before the board to warn that the township may face legal action for allegedly violating its zoning ordinance by allowing industrial use on a residential property.

Clater previously appeared before the board in July to voice concerns over the prop erty at 3742 Kreidersville Rd. The property was approved for residential-business use under a nonconforming use in 1988. However, it was sold to new owners in 2021 and has since transitioned to industrial use.

In July, Clater told the board that vehicles were coming and going from the site as early as 3 a.m. He added that there were no buffers on the property to hide the noise and traffic from neighboring homes. In addi tion, he claimed there are as many as 11 vehicles parked on the property, more than the seven the property has a vari ance for.

Under the zoning ordinance, the nonconforming use no longer applies when the prop erty transferred to new owners. Clater alleged that the township knew of this violation but let it persist. He added legal action is forthcoming unless the town ship enforces its ordinance.

Finally, supervisors noted that Lappawinzo Fish and Game will host fireworks on October 29 from 7 until 8 p.m. This event does not violate the township’s nuisance ordinance.

The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be on October 25 at 7 p.m. November’s meeting has moved to November 1 at 7 p.m.

that will protect the surface it’s sitting on if you want to keep it clean and dry.

2. Get it squeaky clean. The cleaner your carved pumpkin is on the inside, the longer it will last.

3. Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to remove all the seeds and pulp.

4. Take off a little extra. Once the seeds and pulp are gone, re move a little more of the inside flesh. This helps remove mois ture from the pumpkin which increases longevity. Don’t take off too much. You want the walls to be at least an inch thick.

5. Plan ahead. Before you

start carving your design, care fully select the side you want to use. Then draw your design on the pumpkin with a pencil or marker, or use a template print ed on paper. Trace the design by using a nail or pin to score the pumpkin. Remove the template and connect the dots with your knife.

6. Use the right tools. Anything sharp works. Paring knives and small serrated knives are great. A small saw will even work. The pumpkin carving kits sold in stores are good and are generally kid-safe. For intricate designs, you can use a lemon zester, rasp, Exacto knife and even clay sculpting tools like a ribbon hoop. Use a sawing mo tion when making big cuts. This helps cut through the thick wall of the pumpkin.

7. Put it in your lap. Holding

the pumpkin in your lap gives you maximum control. Espe cially for intricate work. Just be careful not to cut yourself.

Making Your Carved Pumpkin Last

1. Wait as long as you can to carve. Even using all the pres ervation methods, your carved pumpkin will only last a few days. If you need your jack-olantern for a party decoration, wait to carve it until the day be fore your event.

2. Cover carved areas with petroleum jelly. Petroleum jelly will form a barrier to keep bac teria out and also prevent the pumpkin from drying out.

3. Keep it cool. Place your pumpkin outside, in a shady spot.

4. Use a cool light source. While candles are traditional, they make your pumpkin warm, speeding up decay. Use a battery operated light source like an LED light or flameless candle instead. You also won’t have to

worry about your jack-o-lantern being a fire hazard.

5. Soak in water. If your pumpkin starts to shrivel and dry out, try soaking it in water to rehydrate.

6. Or simply don’t carve your pumpkin at all. Use paint,

markers or decals to deco rate your pumpkin instead of cutting into it. An uncarved pumpkin stored in a cool place can last until Thanksgiving or even longer.

40 years of the GWHS Christmas House Tour

1700s stone home

Submitted by CAROL BEAR

This year celebrates the 40th year of the Governor Wolf His torical Society’s Christmas House Tour, taking place on December 2 and 3. Private homes will be open for touring, florists and garden clubs will be adding decorations, and the historical society site will be open for a two-day holiday fes tival.

This year the tour theme is “Christmas Dinner” and the fes tivities will kick off Friday evening with the Candlelight Tour.

As you round the curve in the

country road just outside of Bath you come upon this beautiful 1700s stone home built into the hillside. Our ancestors were clever in their positioning of this home, the front façade of windows facing south gathering the sun’s heat and the rear of the home built into the hillside retaining the earth’s warmth. This early home is a cen ter hall with a cut-stone façade with formal keystones over each window. The property came from a farm which contained over 102 acres. Deeds trace back to 1795 when it was sold to Christian

Billheimer of Nazareth, a cooper by trade, whoowned several tracts of land then called the “Nazareth Tract of 5000 Acres.”

The Home News will feature each of the private homes of this year’s tour. Ticket tour booklets go on sale November 12 and have sketches and descriptions of each of the nine homes and buildings open for the tour as well as a map and written directions. Advance tickets are $25, and tickets pur chased the day of the tour are $30. The tour booklet also gains you free admission into the two-day holiday craft festival at the Gov ernor Wolf Historical Society’s site. The Friday Candlelight Tour is a private showing of the homes starting at 5:30 p.m. for the home owners, volunteers, decorators and patrons. Patron cost is $40 for members and $48 for non-mem bers. To be a patron, or a volun teer, or for more information, call Carol at 610-390-0555.

n On Monday Oct. 17, the Bath Social Hall presented a check to the Bath Volunteer Fire Department totaling $11,854. The Social Hall and the Fire Dept. recently hosted a joint basket social, with an original plan to split the proceeds. However, the Bath Social Hall and President Jimmy Pasquariello decided to donate 100% of their portion, $5,927, directly to the fire department.

President Pasquariello, who is very passionate about giving back and supporting the town’s fire department, said he wanted to make this donation as a thank you to the volunteer firefighters and as a way to help, since finding volun teers can be very difficult and the fire department is in need of a replacement tanker truck and other fire equipment. The cost to equip and train just one firefighter is thousands of dollars. If you are interested in becoming a firefighter or would like to learn more about volunteering, stop by the station on any Monday night between 7 and 9 p.m.

The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors met on Tuesday, Oc tober 11. Following a brief execu tive session to discuss personnel is sues, during which no action was taken, they continued reviewing the 2023 budget.

After approving the previous meeting’s minutes and some bills for the general and state funds, the board heard from the recre ation department. The softball tournament which was supposed to have happened on October 1 was washed out by the remnants of Hurricane Ian; no report is yet available regarding rescheduling the event. Sandra Hopkins stated

the township tree lighting cer emony has been arranged for De cember 3. She also reported on her interactions with the Lions Club regarding the new sign at Bryfogle Park; they wanted the board to decide on a size for the sign. Af ter some discussion, it was decided that three feet by five feet would be sufficient for the purpose, and the Lions will have their emblem added.

Hopkins confirmed the town ship does not have its own per sonal address system and proposed purchasing one to use for events, instead of borrowing. The board discussed making the purchase us ing the general fund, so that the system could be shared among all departments. Hopkins will gather prices and report back.

line of events, including when he was called to pick up the repaired mower, it did not work. Township Solicitor David Backenstoe said this means the township should not be liable for the invoice for the secondary repairs. It was agreed the original invoice should be paid. Miller made a motion to deny the second invoice; this mo tion carried, with Board President Michael Jones casting the lone negative vote, citing his reluctance to have the bill sent to collections.

Backenstoe said the payment for the first invoice will be accompa nied by a statement the township considers the matter paid in full, adding if Deere elects to sue the township for payment, the board will fight it.

Police Chief Scott Fogel pre sented a list of police activity in the past month. Of the 17 car ac cidents investigated, he reported roughly half of them involved deer, and reminded residents to be extra careful at this time of the year. He noted that one incident involved a deer running into a police car, leaving a dent which is being inspected; the deer survived. He stated the Movie in the Park went well and they hope to do it twice a year, and also that the new cruiser car has arrived and runs beautifully. A resolution was passed authorizing the chief to up grade and update the department’s records management system. He already has a system in mind and, if the grant for which they have applied is acquired, it will cost taxpayers nothing.

Public Works Director Frank Zamadics reported the township’s fuel pump has been having issues due to the damp mornings of re cent days, which prevents them from fueling the police cars. Board member Cynthia Miller said they have applied for a grant to finance repairs.

Elizabeth Amato of the zoning board reported the Uniform Con struction Code board meeting with Jaindl went well; the board has been formally established, and she recommends appointing a permanent solicitor for them, as this will probably not be the last time they are needed. Backen stoe was of the opinion that the UCC board did an excellent job. The zoning board has proposed updates to ordinances regulating smaller landscaping businesses; the board will review these and vote on the details next month.

Fire Commissioner Richard Hildebrand stated repairs have be gun on the fire truck, and should cost approximately $10,000. Ap paratus repairs are expected to cost around $100,00 for the year. A discussion was held about the op portunity to purchase a used en gine for the company; a township in Columbia County is disband ing its fire company and selling the equipment.

East Allen Supervisors discuss Grants and waiver

By SAVANNAH BROWN

The East Allen Township Board of Supervisors met Wednesday, October 12 at 7 p.m. with a brief agenda.

Supervisors began the meet ing with the recommendation to grant a well isolation distance waiver request for 5149 Nor-Bath Blvd. The property has a shared cesspool with adjacent property to the east. The system malfunc tioned and the property owners hired a company to put a replace ment system in. Township Man ager Brent Green stated that the sewage enforcement officer has been working on this diligently and recommended supervisors grant the request. The board ap proved the waiver unanimously.

Next, the board discussed the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan request for proposal. Manager Green shared that the township previously applied for the Northampton Coun ty Livable Landscapes Grant, which awarded them $30,000 of matched funds to update the township’s Parks and Recreation Plan and add the Open Space Plan to the project. Green added that Hanover Engineering would be providing the mapping and technical details that are needed, but that they would be looking for a facilitator to assist with any

public involvement that may be needed.

Green expressed that he was looking for permission from the board to draft a request for pro posal for services to begin work ing on this relatively soon with the goal of awarding the proposal by the end of the year to begin working on the project January 1.

Supervisors unanimously ap proved Green to begin draft ing the request and the motion passed.

In other business, the board discussed the consideration to ap ply for 2022 Special DCNR De velopment Grant Round. Green stated that this is funds from the American Rescue Act money and had an influx of funds, which is why there is a special round. Typically, their grants are due by April, but the modified round has special provisions that would allow the township to only have to match 20 percent of the funds instead of the normal 50 percent for being a community of less than 5,000 residents. This grant would be used to substantially complete the parking lot, pavil ion, playground, trail access, and possibly bathrooms at the park.
