First Nazareth Small Business and Community Round Table Discussion held by DAWN DUDECK TUNNEY In cooperation with the NBC (Nazareth Business Council) and the Chamber of Commerce, the first Nazareth Small Business and Community Round Table Discussion was held on Monday, Oct. 21. The Nazareth Library hosted the evening meeting. Those in attendance included Mayor Lance Colondo, members of the NEDC (Nazareth Economic Development Committee) and City Council President Dan Chiavaroli. Holly Trella Bennett, Executive Director of the Nazareth Library, who was the emcee, began the discussion by introducing the four Chiefs of police from the surrounding municipalities who
made up the panel, and thanking them for their hard work in protecting and supporting the community. Panel members included Nazareth's own Chief Randall Miller, Colonial Regional Chief Roy Seiple, Upper Nazareth Chief William Cope and Chief Michael McLouth of Bushkill Township. After their introductions, each chief gave a status update about their communities and plans for improvement in the future, and the floor was opened up to questions from the public. A few of the questions and issues from the audience involved parking, truck traffic and speeding. All departments spoke about the importance of working toContinued on page 14
Looking by Back Ed Pany Heimer Series Part 1 of 3- Colonial America
A few weeks ago I was given an email from Janet and Bill Johnson of Mechanicsburg. Our loyal readers must know this writer has no E-F-or G-mail… They have done an extensive genealogy on their family history, dating back to the American Revolution and Civil War. Both Janet and William graduated from Nazareth High School. Mr. Johnson had a long teaching career at Mechanicsburg High School. Their research centered on Janet’s great-great grandfather William Heimer, who served in the 153rd Regiment during the Civil War. But the family’s history goes back to the founding of the United States when family members took up arms to join the fight for independence. William Heimer’s grandfather
Charles (1734-1820) immigrated to Colonial America from what is now Germany. Many came from the Palatinate area of the country. William entered Pennsylvania at the busy port of Philadelphia. In Germany there were constant religious and political conflicts. Taxes were high and great sections of farmland turned into wasteland. PENN’s province provided religious freedom and opportunity in a new land. Most Germans were of the Lutheran and Reformed faith. By 1776 there were 100,000 Germans in Pennsylvania. German families were arriving by the boatload and were regarded as the best farmers in their native land. They searched for land on which Continued on page 16

by ERIN FERGUSON The Northampton Halloween Parade, known as the Jack Frost Parade, blew into town on a windy and cold Oct. 17 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. for the 71st year. Many people braved the cold to take part in a day that Mayor Thomas Reenock proclaimed as Jack Frost Day. Beginning at the

need is met. Our goal is to meet the needs of hungry children by providing them with nutritious and easy- to- prepare food to take home on weekends and school vacations. Each Friday, students previously identified as being in need will take home a backpack
of non-perishable food items for the weekend. The meals are packed by students in the Autistic support class. Backpacks are returned the following week and repacked. We are currently feeding 24 students, and we continue to grow. We are in hopes to expand the program into more of the district schools. Plans are in the works to provide families with holiday meals as well.

Jack Frost
Continued from page 1 Northampton and the surrounding Lehigh Valley area who come dressed up to participate in this ever-growing tradition. The parade started shortly after 7 p.m. and was led by the flashing lights and sirens of fire trucks and first responders from all over the Lehigh Valley. Receiving applause as they passed by, candy was tossed to the crowds and met with smiles from the children dressed to impress in their favorite Halloween attire. Throughout the parade, vendors pushing shopping carts filled with cotton candy, hot dogs and pretzels, walked around selling their items to the attendees. Floats from local businesses,
school groups and teams, borough committees and scout troops were all present with performances from the marching band and other Northampton choral and sporting groups. Each float tossed candy to the crowds for the children to fill their bags or plastic pumpkins with. Many of the floats were decorated with cobwebs, fake blood and spooky décor and the float drivers and passengers were decked out in costume adding thrills and fright to the parade. From witches to werewolves, princesses and ninjas, the Jack Frost Parade welcomed the Halloween season to Northampton adding fright and delight to all who attended. Trick or Treating will be held in Northampton on Oct. 31 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Log cabin circa 1780
GWHS 39th Annual Christmas House Tour submitted by CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN Plans are underway for the 39th Annual Christmas House Tour. The Governor Wolf Historical Society will open six private historic homes and four early buildings on Saturday, Dec. 7. The homes will be open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. This year’s theme is “Artistic Dates and Documents,” featuring dated frakturs, early birth certificates, old family bibles, dated quilts and more. The Home News will feature one of the homes each week until tour day. Andrew and Theresa Krohn are blessed to be the new owners of this one of a kind home in Upper Nazareth Township. Previously owned by Jack and Roberta Schmauch the 1-1/2 story log cabin, circa 1780, was found in Lehighton. In 1997 the cabin was disassembled and moved piece by piece to this property on Blossom Hill Road, where it was meticulously reassembled by Jack and his company Country Craftsmen Construction. The unique “L shape” floor plan was designed by Roberta to integrate the cabin with the existing ranch home. The result was the 1998 award winner for Professional Excellence. The entryway is faced with natural stone and inside the foyer moldings were created to mimic woodwork of early Northampton County homes. The six-panel front door comes from the former Herd home in Bath, PA. Leading to the main entrance you will find brick and fieldstone walkways, iron box locks, and a black walnut butcher’s table saved from a local barn. Inside you will be drawn to the cabin and its exposed white oak logs. Be sure to say hello to “Star Gazer,” the Native American Scout hand carved by Jack, who watches over the home. The “great room” in the cabin houses a 9-foot wide, stone, wood burning fireplace. The varied length flooring and chestnut center beam are all original to 1780. The kitchen and dining areas were refinished to match period era colors and design. Theresa has lovingly decorated the home with antiques, tapestries, and furniture collected from Roseto, Bath, Tamaqua, and regions of Germany and Italy. Open for the tour are both floors of the
log cabin, the entryway and dining area. On the same day, the Annual Historic Christmas Family Day will fill the GWHS campus from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Historic craftsmen will demonstrate, the 153 Civil War Coddington Reenactors will be encamped. Taste and watch hearth cooking, spinning and weaving, iron crafts, early powder horns and flintlocks, and more. There will be arts and crafts for children. Make this a yearly family destination. There is no parking or admission fee. A free-will donation may be dropped into our preservation jars if you wish. There will also be quality crafters selling their wares and fresh greens for sale. The Daily Grind in the Schoolhouse Café will offer food to take with you on the tour, or to enjoy there. Ticket books are available$25 advance and $30 day of tour. Booklets will be sold at S. Seem Antiques in Bath, Miller Ace Hardware on Rt. 329, Curt’s Cyclery in Nazareth, Country Capers in Bethlehem and Bath Drug on Rt. 512.

Being a body repair shop, they deal with a lot of accident cases and insurance companies. “You know you’re doing something right when insurance adjusters come and get their own cars fixed. They see hundreds of body shops and they picked me.

Creative Corner Speaking of Halloween
By Charles McIlhaney Jr. There was a time, with all reverence shown At sacred grounds of ancestral bones, The righteous, the pious, and bereaved, On the night of “All Hallows’ Eve,” Joined in solemn by the ancient stones. But these days, it’s a different scene At the time of Halloween. Sheeted goblins “Boo!” with delight, While masked skeletons dance in the night With playful ghouls and frolicsome fiends.

Annual parade followed by Fall Fest held in Nazareth by DAWN DUDECK TUNNEY A new annual venture for the Borough of Nazareth is off to a successful start. The Fall Festival in downtown Nazareth began immediately after the Halloween Parade on Saturday, Oct. 19. Jessica O'Donnell from the Chamber of Commerce created
the Fall Festival by bringing vendors and small business together, helping to promote all that Nazareth has to offer. The Chamber estimated the number of attendees to be approximately two to three thousand, which is what O'Donnell was aiming for, "The first time we Continued on page 15

Halloween Horror
Continued from page 5
And through the bright of town is staged Marching bands in grand parade To the beat of festive drums Far, far from among The rub of dark and silent graves.
By Lila Sabia It’s goblins and ghosts and witches I fear, I shake and I shiver whenever they’re near. Count Dracula’s awaiting the hours till dark, So, children beware of the bats in the park.

The ghosts will be flying allover the town, They’ll boo and they’ll scream then swoop down. To scare all the people they’ve gathered round, And if they see me, they’ll chase me around.
The witches will race on their broomsticks tonight, To trick and mistreat everyone that’s in sight. While black cats’ eyes will glow with delight, At the thought of this ghoulish and ghastly sight.
While headless horsemen go riding past, The dogs will be trying to get away fast. As the parade goes moving past, How can this “Halloween Horror” last?

NORTHAMPTON AREA
Northampton’s 4th Ward History explored through Photographs by KERI LINDENMUTH On Saturday, Oct. 19, the Northampton Area Historical Society presented over 70 photographs of Northampton’s 4th Ward, past and present. Over 50 residents packed into the borough’s municipal hall to listen to the presentation, given by Larry Oberly. Together, Oberly and residents explored history, shared stories, and offered memories of friends and family. “This is not a lecture,” Oberly said. “I expect that people in the audience have recollections, anecdotes.” And many people did. Residents shared stories of their grandparents’ businesses, ice cream or soda from the borough’s many grocery stores, and boarders from the cement factories
sharing their family’s homes. Newport and Canal Street make up a large portion of the 4th Ward, previously known as Laubachsville. The village predated the borough by over a century. Founded by the Laubach family in 1822, it included a gristmill, coalyard, general store, blacksmith, and distillery. “It was the commercial center,” said Oberly. This area of town was so influential that the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Canal made it a stop on its route only seven years later. “This canal had a greater impact than you and I can even imagine,” Oberly explained. “[Residents] could get goods from anywhere in the world cheaply and efficiently.” Even a railroad engine, he said, was delivered by the canal. Photographs of the area showed the canal boats during the 19th and 20th centuries. There were several locks in the borough, but the exact locations in the photographs could not be identified. Every single block in the 4th Ward had businesses, spurred by this new economic development. From jewelers and butchers to tailors and photographers, residents of Newport did not have

to travel far to find anything they needed. In fact, according to the historical society, there was one grocer or more for every single block. Many of the photographs during the presentation showed those businesses during their heyday. Other photographs showed what those buildings look like now, with many of them having been converted into homes or apartments. The biggest business in Newport was the Northampton Brewing Corporation, which produced TruBlu beer. Oberly said that the brew was so popular, shipments of it were sent to soldiers in the Pacific during World War II. With the area’s growing cement industry, Newport also became a center for immigration. Atlas Cement had over 5,000 employees, many of them Eastern European immigrants. Land value in Newport was cheapest because it was next to the river. However, when available space for homes ran out, taking in boarders became a popular means of earning extra money. Homes in Newport had as many as 10 to 20 boarders. -5 “Each [new resident] came $ 99 each with their own faith,” Oberly explained, leading to the diverse array of churches still seen in Newport today.

Willow Brook developer Offers revised plan to Northampton Council By KERI LINDENMUTH Michael Stadulis, representative for the Fuller family’s Willow Brook Farms, proposed a revised plan to Northampton council for 56 single homes on the property. The single-family homes would be along Howertown Road and Fourth Street. Developers had previously presented plans for apartment units in the area, which were rejected by council. The homes would have their backyards facing Howertown Road. Previous plans had proposed front yards facing the busy roadway, but the construction of driveways would lead to the loss of the road’s evergreen trees. “These trees are important to the community,” said Councilman Ed Pany. Werbicky’s Photo courtesy of Larry Oberly
The developer’s new plans propose backyards of 35 feet and front yards of 20 feet. This plan would require a waiver, but would save “many” of the evergreen trees. Stadulis said the future of the evergreen trees on the corner lot is questionable, but developers would attempt to move them if possible. Stadulis wanted to know whether council would be in support of such a plan before seeking a waiver from zoning and moving forward with the final plan. “This would help them tremendously to know where the borough stands,” said solicitor Steven Goudsouzian. When a poll was taken, all council members voiced support for the plan. However, Councilwoman Judy Kutlzer said devel-

opment on the property makes her “very sad.” “I am not in favor of any development in that area,” she said. Pany agreed. “I wish it was a cornfield…but I am glad we can [at least] save the trees.” In other news, council approved the purchase of a new Pierce aerial ladder truck for the volunteer fire department. The price of the new truck is $1.44 million with an annual loan repayment of $105,000. Approval was unanimous. The borough will not receive the truck until the end of 2020 because it takes roughly 13 months to build. Loan repayment will not start until the end of 2021. Borough manager LeRoy Brobst said the loan will not affect 2020’s budget, but will have an impact on 2021’s budget. Planning should start now, he said, to “stay ahead of the curve.” “The need is what it is,” said Continued on page 12

The Changing Seasons
What is your favorite season of the year? Some tell me spring is their favorite—they love the beauty of flowers in bloom. Others favor autumn or fall with the splendor of the changing colors of the leaves. Still others prefer summer for its warmth, and others winter—they love the snow! If it were not for the changing seasons, I suppose we would get bored. Some long, cold, snowy winters have had me longing for springtime! Personally, I love spring and autumn. It seems to me that these gorgeous seasons with lots of refreshingly low-humidity days pass by far too quickly. Behind our church we have several sugar maple trees that always give a magnificent autumn show of leaf color—bright reds, golden yellows, etc. As the season progressed this year, the leaves were transformed into a spectrum of colors inspiring me to often snap pictures of the splendor with the church steeple and cross in the background. Then one day I noticed how few leaves were left on the trees signaling that soon this season would be past and winter would be here. I was struck with the thought of how God has reflected the cycle of life in the changing seasons and how that each year He sends to all of us this message—this warning—that the seasons of life from birth to adulthood pass by quickly! God reveals His truths through His creation, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made” (Romans 1:20). God made the changing seasons and though them He wants us to understand that the seasons of life quickly pass by as we read in James 4:14, “For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” Are you ready for the coming winter season and to stand before God? “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). – Written by the late Pastor Daniel E. Lundmark

cate the citizens about the focal points of each department. Jessica O'Donnell from the Chamber, who organized the round table, stated, "The thought behind these quarterly round table discussions was one based in mutual consideration for the communities success. We want to be a part of a solution, by being as proactive as possible." She went on by adding, "With this first one bringing the Chiefs together, our main goal was to discuss safety and learn what initiatives they are working on--how we can better work together for the same results, and move forward by addressing the concerns of both business and community members." O'Donnell said they were "looking forward to our next one, and continuing the dialogue." The future dates as of now are as follows: the Fire Chief John Deutsch Jan. 27 from 6 to 7:30 p.m., and May 18 with Mayor Colondo and the city managers from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

to live and raise a family. They found Plainfield was blessed with abundant fertile soil. The Heimer family settled on the rich farmland in Plainfield Township. Charles Heimer acquired a number of acres from a Pennsylvania land law. The land transfer was signed by one of our most famous Pennsylvanians, “His excellence, Benjamin Franklin, Esquire, President of the Supreme Executive Council.”
Charles, much like many other men, was part time soldier and part time farmer during the American Revolution. Raw and untrained, yet they were determined to create a new nation. Charles served as a private in the Northampton Militia in the second battalion of the militia. His son Adam would also serve in the same battalion. In two weeks we’ll learn more about Charles and Adam.
