Allen Andy Weaver of Looking by Township Nazareth awarded Ed Pany Supervisors Back County Citizen of the Approve Year at annual festival Settlement Coal to War, part 2 of 6 With K&H Development

By HOME NEWS STAFF and COUNTY of NORTHAMPTON Northampton County held its second annual festival on Saturday, October 16 at Louise Moore Park. Lamont McClure recognized a number of municipal employees and residents at an awards ceremony for the positive impact they have on the County.

“We have so many people in this County who make everyone’s life better through their dedication to their job or through their volunteer work,” says Lamont McClure. “It is my great privilege to recognize these citizens for their service to Northampton County.”

Mr. Andy Weaver of the Bor-

ough of Nazareth was awarded County Citizen of the Year.

Andy Weaver is Nazareth’s number one fan, and is known as the face of the Nazareth Area School District. He is the school’s official greeter and ticket taker at all paid events such as football, basketball and wrestling events.

Andy is the Goodwill Ambassador for Nazareth High School Theater Group and a youth softball coach. He also helps post school announcements including bell schedules to help the students of the Nazareth School District. Mr. Weaver also writes a weekly sports column for The Home News.

By KERI LINDENMUTH During their meeting on Tuesday, October 12, the Allen Township Board of Supervisors approved a settlement with K&H Development and Kay Krapf. This settlement will allow the developers to submit plans for the construction of four warehouses at Atlas and Savage Roads.

In 2019, Krapf appealed a zoning decision made in 2018 that rejected plans for the development of a 40,000 square-foot industrial flex property. At the time, the land was zoned for industrial use. However, after the rejection, the township rezoned the land for residential use. Attorney for Krapf Jamie Kratz said the township “conspired” to reject these plans.

While the original plans proposed a warehouse with frontage on Atlas Road, the revised plans under the settlement would route warehouse traffic to Savage Road. The property will include residential development with frontage on Atlas Road.

While supervisors agreed with the settlement, Supervisor Gary Behler suggested that the township put a time limit on the plan

Wind Gap’s Marketplace 316 features one-of-aKind finds From local Entrepreneurs and artisans

My Fellow Moore Township Residents

My name is Jeffery Ayers and I am running to be your next Supervisor for Moore township. I have lived in the township for over fifty years. The last twenty years I have attended most of the supervisors meetings. The last twelve years I have proudly served the township by being appointed to the zoning hearing board, currently as chairmen. This has given me a unique insight to the issues that face our township on a daily basis. I am not running against a political candidate. I am promoting myself and for issues I stand for. As supervisor I will try to the best of my ability to keep our township free of over development and keep it’s rural feel that we all have grown up with and enjoy, as long as we can do this within the law. I do not have all the answers to the tough issues that face our community going forward into the future, that is why the only promise I will make is to continue listening to my fellow neighbors, so together we can keep our township family friendly. Hopefully together we can save Moore Township.

By KERI LINDENMUTH When walking into Marketplace 316 at 316 North Broadway in Wind Gap, you’re welcomed with an assortment of sights and sounds- the sparkling handmade jewelry, the clicking of old cuckoo clocks, and the laughter of vendors and shoppers sharing a story.

New life has been brought to 316 Broadway, which for nearly three decades was an indoor flea market (before that the building was also a garment factory, a candle company, and a machine shop, among other establishments). Now, new owner Pete Rains, GM Rick Brummundt, and business owner Char Brummundt hope the market can become not only a gathering place for locals and tourists, but a stepping stone for local business owners striving to achieve the American Dream.

“Where do you think you can take yourself if given the opportunity?” Char Brummundt asks.

Marketplace 316 gives new vendors the chance to explore, grow, and inspire. Kelly Feathers is one of those vendors.

The market is Feathers’ first storefront. The full-time teacher and owner of The Same Hammer Custom Design specializes in laser cut and laser printing woodwork. Shoppers can purchase one-of-a-kind ornaments made using recycled wood materials (like benches from Bushkill Park) or customized cutting boards laser cut with the handwriting of a loved one.

Her craft is more than a business. It is a “creative outlet I didn’t know I needed until I found it,” she says.

There are nearly 20 vendors in the market, some just starting out and others more established local vendors, like Dave’s Emporium, which sells antiques, DVDs, magazines, cameras, and “a little bit of everything” else.

Char Brummundt, who helps with leasing and finding vendors, also runs her own business out of the market. Vintage Farmhouse Repurposed sells beautiful antique furniture repurposed by Brummundt, along with specialty foods like jams, maple syrups, and bread mixes all made by family-owned companies.

“I had no idea [my hobby] would take off as it did,” she says.

Brummundt and her husband Rick took an active role in renovating the market before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

New heating was installed, new booths were constructed, new floors added, and new security put in place. While the market opened in July 2020, COVID-19 made it hard to complete the renovations and fill vendor booths.

But with society reopening, the market has finally been able to realize its goals.

“This can really be a place… [where business owners] start their life again after COVID,” says Brummundt, “and move forward with something they always wanted.”

Other businesses include Biscuits, Bones & Belly Rubs (purrfect gifts for pets and their humans!); Celtic Vibe (Celticinspired fashion, accessories, and jewelry you don’t have to cross the Atlantic for); Clocks on Time (expert clock repairs for everything from heirloom grandfather clocks to antique cuckoos); Jackie Ann’s Designs (beautiful handmade Swarovski Crystal & precious stone jewelry); Paula Dahlenburg’s Avon (makeup, jewelry, and more); Ray’s Coins, Militaria, and Jewelry (rare coins perfect for collectors); Rust Road (handmade jewelry using stainless, copper, sterling, and other metals); Uncle Chuck & Sons (quality pre-owned furniture, now 40% off); Bobby’s Record Rack (45s, cassettes, and more…all sold by Bobby Hepburn, a local music legend himself and member of the band Desire); The Man Table (unique signs, flags, and memorabilia geared toward men); Lu & Sons Collectibles and Cards (vintage, graded, and new trading cards for sports fans); A Primitive Touch (floral arrangements that will add just the right touch to your home); Unique Finds (relaxing wax melts and LED lit bottles); R&R Furniture (owned

At that time, both Brown and Shackleford were found to be in possession of illegal items. Both were given disorderly conduct citations for the possession of those items. The citations were filed through DJ Capobianco’s office.

The front facade of the market is also being renovated.

“This is our retirement!” laughs Char Brummundt.

For Brummundt, the future looks bright. She compares the market to an old piece of furniture restored with a fresh coat of paint, giving it new life.

What started as a cocoon, an idea, has “turned into a beautiful butterfly of people and experiences,” she says.

Tips for Voting on Election Day

Submitted by COUNTY OF NORTHAMPTON On November 2, Northampton County’s 156 precincts will be fully staffed for voters who prefer to cast their ballot on the ES&S ExpressVote XL machine.

It is recommended that voters wear comfortable shoes and bring a chair if standing for long periods is difficult. The County requests that everyone wear a mask while at the polls out of respect for the poll workers. All poll workers will wear PPE and each precinct will be supplied with hand sanitizer and tape to mark off spaces for social distancing.

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. until 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.

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

Voters who applied for a mailin ballot, but have decided 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 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 voting on the ES&S ExpressVote XL is available online at NorthamptonVotes.com Continued on page 13

Dale Barthol expanded on the idea that the property was deemed unsafe for a school years ago and asked what the township did to make it safer.

Madelyn Kemp was also concerned about the childrens’ safety and the amount of traffic in the area. Kemp believes the property would be better suited for an administrative building or maintenance hub; additionally, the district can find a more suitable property for a school building or renovate the elementary school in Moore Township, which is situated in farmland.

By CHRISTINA SANTO The East Allen Township Board of Supervisors met on Wednesday, October 13 to continue the Northampton Area School District’s conditional use hearing from September 8.

The district is proposing an elementary school on the property at the intersection of Route 329 and Seemsville Road. The property is zoned agricultural and conservation; however, if the conditional use permit is granted, the district would be able to use the property for a school

building.

While NASD’s testimony was closed at the September 8 meeting, the township’s testimony was kept open to allow residents to voice their opinions.

Residents near the property in question are concerned about the safety of the children and their neighborhood. Michelle Bollinger explained that other schools have previously been denied in the area. Further, the roads are already heavily traveled and not equipped for more truck and bus traffic. More warehouses

submission.

“I do not want future supervisors to deal with it,” he said.

However, Supervisor Gerald Montanari disagreed. “They went through hell to get this.”

He did not think it fair to limit the developer’s timeline.

Kratz agreed, adding that he suspects his client will submit plans sooner rather than later.

“We went through all this trouble,” he said.

Kratz said he anticipates plans being submitted within the next few years.

In other news, supervisors also approved an amendment to Jaindl Watson’s Howertown Road industrial development.

Two accessory buildings will be added to the original plan, dated July 30, 2021. These buildings

www.HomeNewsPA.com

include a water pump building and a guardhouse. Several more guardhouses are expected in the future.

“Guardhouses are to our benefit,” said Behler.

The amendment was approved unanimously.

Finally, supervisors approved public works to begin construction on the Walker Street MS4 basin. This stormwater reduction project will convert the township-owned land into a rain garden. The total cost to bid out the project would be $109,000; however, having public works perform the project will cut costs in half.

The next Board of Supervisors meetings will be held on Tuesday, October 19 at 6 p.m. (budget meeting) and Tuesday, October 26 at 7 p.m. (regular meeting).

Lehigh Township BOS prepare to Fill vacant supervisor position

By LAUREN SCHUSTER The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors met on Tuesday, October 12 in the township municipal building. Prior to the general meeting, the board met for ongoing discussion of the township budget for the upcoming year.

Budget discussions will continue until an official budget plan for 2022 is finalized.

The board discussed the ongoing work on the Cherryville intersection of Route 248 and Blue Mountain Drive. The intersection still requires final walkthroughs to ensure it meets PennDOT and ADA standards.

Solicitor David Backenstoe stated that Turkey Hill intends to move forward with construction once necessary permits are secured.

Other items on the agenda included extensions of planning items and reports from other

township departments.

Among new business for the evening, Supervisor Phil Gogel presented a letter stating his intended resignation from the board. Gogel stated that he had an interest in applying for the position left vacant by the passing of Supervisor Michael McGonigle last month, and that he would be unable to submit his name for consideration while actively serving on the Board of Supervisors. There was debate regarding the legitimacy of the process, which the other supervisors and gathered members of the public discussed at length.

While Gogel had consulted with the township’s ethics committee and election board, as well as a legal counsel, the board plans to discuss the situation further with the ethics committee going forward.

The Board of Supervisors has 30 days following the opening of a vacant position to fill the vacancy, and will be considering applicants for the open position. Letters of interest were due to the township office by Friday, October 15. The board met to interview the interested parties for the position on Tuesday, October 19 at 7 p.m. Additional meetings will be scheduled if the board does not reach a decision at the October 19 meeting.

These meetings will be open for the public to attend. If someone is not appointed within the allotted period, the decision is then made by a vacancy board which will review all candidates for the vacancy. The Board of Supervisors will meet again on Tuesday, October 26 at 7 p.m. in the municipal building.

I would like to thank all of my supporters who have entrusted in me.

I will serve your district court with honor, integrity, and justice keeping politics aside.

I look forward to working with each and everyone in the district to better our community.

idly and in an efficient manner during the invasion?

They constructed water purification plants and sharpened the engineers’ bridge-building skills with very intensive training. Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, supreme commander of Allied Forces Europe, would lead the mammoth operation.

The men, planes, tanks and the tools were assembled for the fateful day, D-Day, June 6, 1944.

The largest fleet ever assembled - probably never to be seen again, 5,000 ships - carried out the operation. Sgt. Swiderski would never forget the scope of the invasion. The 5th Engineers landed June 26, 1944, in Normandy on Utah Beach, which had been won with great loss of life.

Before construction could start, the areas had to be clear of land mines; they seemed to be everywhere. They were cleared

with loss of life and limb. It was then time to replace all the bridges the German Army destroyed on their withdrawal.

One of the most famous was Remagen Bridge over the Rhine River, gateway to Germany.

In December 1944, Staff Sgt. John Swiderski and his unit were in the Ardennes forest in Belgium, at a road center in the town of Bastogne. To everyone’s surprise, the Germans launched their last full-scale attack on the western front in World War II. Two Panzer armies surrounded Bastogne and demanded surrender of the American army. Gen. Anthony McAuliffe gave his famous reply: “Nuts.”

When the skies cleared, the Allied Air Forces and Gen. Patton’s Third Army broke the siege. Sgt. Swiderski recalled the bitter, miserable, cold weather and the furious battle that killed 8,000 soldiers and wounded thousands.

The German western front was shattered. Allied forces rolled into Germany. The soldier recalled May 8, 1945, the day Germany surrendered - V-E Day. The war in Europe was over, but it still raged in the Pacific.

Sgt. Swiderski had spent more than four years away from his Nanticoke home. After a long trip across the Atlantic, he finally saw the harbor of New York City. The Statue of Liberty welcomed our servicemen and women home at last.

John would be mustered out of the U.S. Army May 30, 1945, at Fort Dix, N.J. The former bus driver now boarded a bus for the trip home. Soon, there it was good, ol’ Nanticoke, Pa. The neighborhood looked the same, and his family and neighbors welcomed one of Nanticoke’s sons home from the war.

In two weeks, we will be driving to the Philadelphia Navy Yard. It is 1942.

and under, JHS members, activeduty military and scouts in uniform are free. Food and drink are provided both days by Mad J’s BBQ and The Colony Meadery.

The Market Faire and Rendezvous is family-friendly with a living history encampment representing many periods of American history, including the Pre-Colonial, Colonial, and Fur Trade Eras. Demonstrations and events include primitive archery, blacksmithing, black powder demos, children’s games and crafts, a Market Faire of 18th and 19th century traders, and individual blanket traders in the encampment.

Demonstrators of Early American Arts and Crafts will present their skills in leatherwork, hornwork, shoemaking, and gunmaking near the Craft Center and Nicholas Hawk Gun Shop. Open hearth cooking demonstrations will also be provided in the Summer Kitchen.

Bear Honey Farms will be joining us again this year. Bear Honey Farms is a local honey bee farm that offers a variety of bee related products including local honey and beeswax candles. Cliff Wright-Sunflower is a master beekeeper, environmental educator, storyteller and performer. Cliff will be presenting his “Dancin’ with the Honeybees” program on Saturday and Sunday, October 30 and 31, at 1 p.m. for the public behind the Nicholas Hawk Gunshop.

The Jacobsburg Historical Society is the home of the Pennsylvania Longrifle Museum which contains a substantial collection of original, hand-crafted Pennsylvania longrifles and items related to the making of longrifles from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This museum features more than 100 historic arms on display and is currently featuring an impressive 18th c. Horn Object Collection on loan from Tim and Terri Lubenesky along with new displays of Henry family artifacts including some of

their personal firearms. The Longrifle Museum itself is housed in the historic Henry Homestead, which was initially a log cabin in which the workers who built Boulton in 1812 lived. The Pennsylvania Longrifle Museum and our Museum Gift Shop will be open for tours on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Other buildings on the Boulton Historic Site include the 1832 J. Joseph Henry House, an ambitious Philadelphia townhouse built on the Bushkill Creek. Five generations of the Henry family lived in this home from 1832 to 1989, filling it with musical instruments, books, tools, paintings, furniture, and numerous other personal belongings. The most important history painting produced in colonial America, the 1756 “Death of Socrates” painted for William Henry in Lancaster, hung in this home until the Henry family donated it to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania several decades ago. Near the mansion stands the family’s original summer kitchen, cold cellar, smokehouse and its carriage and sleigh barns, still filled with the vehicles that Dr. Thomas Stites and his wife, Mary Adeleine Henry Stites, used to travel for business or pleasure.

The John Joseph Henry House, Summer Kitchen, Carriage and Sleigh barns will be open for tours on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 3 p.m.

Visitors will also be able to tour the Nicholas Hawk Gun Shop, an authentic, 200-yearold log cabin gun shop that was moved from its original location in Monroe County and reconstructed on the Boulton campus.

Although the structure is only 12 by 15 feet, in it Nicholas Hawk built high-quality longrifles that are now considered works of art.

How to Build a Fire Pit for Less Than $100

ww.hgtv.com It’s not that hard to build a basic outdoor fire pit. You can do it in an afternoon, with a little elbow grease and less than $100.

least 15 feet from any structure and close to a water source.

Ideally, you’ll want it on level ground. That will make building it much easier and sitting around it more comfortable.

Materials + Tools Shovel Level Retaining wall blocks (we used about 36) Metal fire pit ring 7” square concrete pavers or fire brick for the bottom of the pit (we used about 15) Pea gravel to fill in the spaces (about .5 cubic feet) All-purpose sand (one bag should do it)

Step 2: Determine the Size The size of your fire pit will be determined by your metal fire ring. Place the ring and retaining-wall blocks on the ground to figure out the size of the fire pit. Mark the outside of the circle with the edge of a shovel.

Step 1: Plan Location and Layout A fire pit should be built at

Step 3: Dig a Hole Move the retaining wall blocks out of the way and dig inside the marked hole. Make the hole at least 7” deep.

Step 4: Line Hole With Sand Add a 1” layer of all-purpose sand in the hole and tamp it down flat. You may want to use a level to make sure it's all on the same plain.

Step 5: Add Base Row Lay the bottom row of blocks inside the hole. Place the outside of the block on the very edge of the sand.

Step 6: Place Metal Ring Place the metal ring on the sand inside the base row of blocks.

Step 7: Insert Bricks into Fire Pit Floor Lay the pavers or fireplace bricks in the bottom of the fire pit. Cover as much area as possible.
