East Allen Supervisors Vote No on Weaversville Rezoning

Plenty of sweets And scares at Northampton’s Jack Frost Parade

By KERI LINDENMUTH Northampton held its annual Jack Frost Parade on Thursday, October 19. Main Street was lined with tons of excited children (and adults). There were plenty of costumes and plenty of bags and buckets waiting to be filled with candy. A line of fire trucks from Northampton, Bath, Whitehall, and beyond led off the parade with blaring sirens, flashing lights, and plenty of Tootsie Rolls. Following the fire trucks were local Cub Scout troops and the Northampton High School Big N Band. Local businesses also had their own floats covered in Halloween decorations. Drivers and passengers were decked out in plenty of different costumes, from Elsa and Anna to goblins and ghouls.

One of the highlights of the parade was the headless horseman right of Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hallow. The

horseman galloped down Main Street on his black horse, his cape flying behind him, his head under his arm, and his sword waving wildly. The Northampton Middle School Band also performed, as did the Allentown Hobo Band. Northampton Area High School’s Student Council had their own float, as did the local football team, volleyball team, cheerleading team, dance team, and step team. The parade ended with just as many horns and lights as it started with when truck tractors of every size and color finished off the parade.

They rumbled down Main Street, flashing lights, blowing smoke, and honking horns. With plenty of scares and sweets, the Jack Frost Parade helped Northampton residents welcome the Halloween season. Now, residents have Trick-or-Treat to look forward to on October 31 from 6 to 8 p.m.

By KERI LINDENMUTH Cheers erupted in the Northampton Area High School Auditorium on Wednesday, October 17 as the East Allen Township Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 against the Rockefeller Group proposal to rezone a stretch of land on Weaversville Road. Had the land been rezoned from agricultural use to light industrial, as Rockefeller had hoped, it would make room for yet another warehouse in the area, right next to the future FedEx Ground hub.

The decisive vote came after months of discussion and three public hearings. Residents did all they could to voice their opinions during the hearings, from cross examining project manager Mark Heeb on threats to the area’s endangered bog turtle to filling their testimonies with personal stories and fears about the future of their families and the township.

“This is personal to a lot of us,” said Eric Miller, township resident.

Traffic was the main focus during the final hearing, as the Rockefeller Group called traffic engineer Brian Harmon to testify on their behalf. Harmon presented a 2013 traffic study that took FedEx’s historic data into concern. According to Harmon, the study shows that infrastructure is available to maintain a warehouse on Weaversville Road.

Such a warehouse, he said, would even lead to much-needed road improvements at Willowbrook Road, Airport Road, Bullshead Road, and other area roadways.

However, residents were not happy with Harmon’s four-yearold study, especially the part of the study that did not identify any area roads as congested or unsafe, something a more recent 2016 traffic study reportedly contradicts.

“You are welcome to ride with me anytime. I have a very com-

fortable back seat,” township resident Boyd Moore said to representatives from the Rockefeller Group.

“Traffic conditions change over time,” said another township resident, Paula Mckee. “[The] traffic study that keeps coming up is obsolete at this point.”

Despite residents not agreeing with the results of the traffic study, representatives from the Rockefeller Group firmly believed the land on Weaversville Road was the only spot in the township prime for such a warehouse, or “modern, contemporary logistic center” as Heeb described.

“There is not another spot in the township…to do what we are proposing,” he said, as some residents in the audience shouted “Good!”

“If you want to stop time in its tracks…if not here, than where?” asked attorney for the Rockefeller Group, Joseph Fitzpatrick, in his closing arguments. “We might be the suits you do no trust…but we are presenting an opportunity.”

Supervisors ultimately sided with residents and did not see how the rezoning would provide benefits or opportunities to the township. Every single supervisor voted “no.”

However, Supervisor Robert Mills left residents with this thought: “Convenience comes at a price,” he said.

The popularity of online marketplaces like eBay and Amazon, he explained, helps drive warehouses. He asked that residents think carefully about this the next time they opt to buy something online instead of by visiting a local business. For now, another warehouse in East Allen Township has been avoided, but there are still many more industrial complexes proposed throughout the Lehigh Valley, where many residents are discovering firsthand the price of convenience.

Four Bath Lions receive Chevrons for membership

By HOME NEWS STAFF District 14-K Governor Donald Kaufman made his official visit to the Bath Lions Club at their dinner meeting on October 18 in the fellowship hall of St. John’s Lutheran Church.

He presented membership chevrons to four members for their years as members of the club. They included William Falstich, Rev. Jay R. Wetzel, and James Spengler, all 35 years; and Jack Metcalf, 45 years. Asked what they like about Lionism, they replied fellowship with other members and giving back to the community.

DG Kaufman told about the Lions International president and his motto, “We Serve.” Bringing in new members is a goal and this year there are 746 new clubs, all with a minimum of 20 members.

Pennsylvania has the third largest membership in the United States.

The district governor said, “It’s more difficult to add new clubs, but I would advise you to get peo-

ple who serve in the community.”

With the Bath Lions planning a membership meeting on Wednesday, November 1 at 7 p.m., he suggested bank managers, insurance agents, restaurant managers, firefighters, police officers, and antique dealers as ideal members.

Food Drive On Friday and Saturday, Nov. 3 and 4, the club will have a White Cane project collecting money or food items for the Bath Area Food Bank at Ahart’s Market from 9 a.m. to noon and at the Town & Country Restaurant from 8 to 11 a.m.

By JUSTIN SWEITZER Northampton Borough Council may soon find an ally in their efforts to develop and revitalize the borough’s business community, as the Northampton Area Chamber of Commerce revealed plans to add a Main Street Manager position to the chamber’s own board. The initiative was revealed at borough council’s Oct. 18 meeting, where Northampton Area Chamber of Commerce President Tony Pristash outlined the organization's recent successes, as well as the chamber’s plans for new opportunities and development.

Pristash, who also serves as a member of borough council but chose to speak only as a member of the chamber, said that the position would be responsible for looking for ways to revitalize the borough, seeking out opportunities for grant money and would work to fill openings where businesses could operate. Pristash also said that the manager would be in charge of planning out long and short-term development for the borough.

“What I would do with the Main Street Manager is simply sit down with them, do a one-, five- and 10year plan on revitalization,” he said.

“They’d make regular presentations to borough council and keep everybody invested in what we’re doing.”

The position would report to Pristash and the rest of the chamber’s board. Pristash noted that while councils and chambers of commerce often split the cost of hiring a manager in charge of business development, the Northampton Area Chamber of Commerce would foot the bill for the Main Street Manager position.

“In this case, the chamber will be picking up the tab,” Pristash said. He described the position as an “entrepreneurial, private sector initiative.”

In other chamber of commercerelated business, Pristash also thanked council for their cooperation regarding this year’s Northampton Street Fair, which he said was the borough’s most successful street fair in over 20 years.

“We had a very profitable street fair, and it’s because of your ‘yes’ to allow us to have it that made it so,” he said.

Pristash said that this year’s event marked numerous firsts for the historic street fair, as alcohol was served for the first time, and police officers were also on the site for the first time.

“I’m here to say thank you to borough council, for allowing us the facilities, the street crew and other things we had for our street fair,” he said. “It was our 29th street fair, and was our most successful in over 20 years.”

Pristash said the chamber of commerce has helped grow the event since its inception 29 years ago to an event that attracts visitors from across the Lehigh Valley.

“Now, it’s a Lehigh Valley-wide event,” he said.

Natural perspectives

Oct. 26-Nov. 1, 2017 5

For the health-minded individual

Finding Yourself Through Illness I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is you can be much healthier than you are today. The bad news is if you change nothing…then nothing will change. I say this as I hear many people lamenting their health issues yet I do not see all that many taking matters into their own hands and doing something about it.

More often than not, a spouse tells me they wish they could get their loved one to do what they should be doing. Then somewhere along the conversation the word stubborn comes out.

The ensuing conversation typically has a frustrating tone about it and ends with the usual hands thrown up in the air and a “I give up” phrase of sorts.

I bet in earlier days my wife may even have had a similar conversation with someone about me but then I personally was afflicted with an issue that has dramatically changed my perspective on life and well, everything.

Many of you may already be aware as I have shared this before.

In my early forties I had prolonged cardiac arrhythmia and I have had two separate cardiac ablations over the course of about two years. A long two years. For the better part of that time, when my health was compromised, I did a lot of soul searching. I wouldn’t wish this type of hardship on anyone but I learned a lot from the experiences I went through.

To be frank, I believe this ordeal has changed the way I now see the world and has allowed me to help other people in very fulfilling way. While I wouldn’t say it then, I will say now that my health concerns actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It needs to be boldly said that recapturing the health you lost can be done yet do not expect the journey to leave you the same. You won’t be. I am not.

If you are a cancer survivor you are in total agreement aren’t you?

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

This holds true with many of life’s curveballs that are thrown at us.

Sure, we may be blindsided by a serious issue in our life. We may go “down for the count” but how amazing is it to get up, brush the dirt off and continue moving forward?

To those of you that are reading this week’s article and are going through really tough times, whatever they may be, I want you to know that it won’t always be this bad. You will see. Somehow you will see.

I know in my heart and from personal experience that YOU will come out of whatever is afflicting you better, stronger, more compassionate, and grateful beyond words for every little thing. From the air you breathe, to a sunset, to holding a hand, to a good laugh or a good cry, I guarantee you will see things a lot differently.

As far as being stubborn? I bet you won’t be anymore. I am not.

What would be the point? So simply agree here and now that despite dealing with suffering and ailments you are going to do what you can do to help your body heal. That may be eating dramatically better, exercise, sleeping and many other things.

As I said before if you change nothing, nothing will change. My best to you.

“The Filbert”

37th Annual GWHS Christmas House Tour

submitted by CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN The Governor Wolf Historical Society is proud to announce they will be holding the 37th Annual Christmas House Tour on Saturday, December 2. The tour features six private, historic homes in Bath and the surrounding countryside. The theme for this year's tour is coverlets. Finish your day at the society's Wolf Academy Historic Site with a free Colonial Family fun day featuring hearth cooking, demonstrations, colonial crafts, museum, carolers, crafts for children, raffle, display of antique coverlets, greens for sale and food by Daily Grind.

Each week The Home News will feature one of the historic houses on the tour. The first featured house is “The Filbert” in Danielsville, a Queen Anne Victorian farmhouse with a general store, which currently operates as a bed and breakfast and a unique event venue. The original home was built in the early 1800s; the newest part of the home was added in 1856. This plank home is constructed of chestnut wood and has a stone foundation.

The burgundy, white, and estate green colors highlight the fanciful Victorian trim. Outside there is an expansive front porch with original fretwork, original clapboard, shutters, and windows.

The wrought iron fence outlines the property frontage. Original outbuildings include the vintage barn, tack house, carriage house, icehouse, pig barn, chicken coop, summer kitchen, wood shed, smokehouse, and outhouse.

The house was part of a 200acre tract, which Phillip Schaffer purchased from the William Penn family on March 3, 1785. Several generations of the Herman family owned the property and ran the general store from 1882 until 1982. Restorations have continued throughout the fifteen years of ownership. The property was purchased from Lee Herman in June of 2002.

Inside the house you will find the original floors, woodwork,

hardware, wallpaper, a room stencil dating to the 1800s, and a functional dumbwaiter. The general store boasts the original tin ceiling, hardwood floors, wooden counters, and dry bins. The tour will include the first floor of the house and general store as well as the outbuildings including the barn on the property.

Tickets for the tour go on sale November 11. They are $25 in advance and $30 the day of the tour. They are on sale at Bath Drug and S. Seem Antiques in

Bath, Curt’s Cyclery in Nazareth, Miller Supply Ace Hardware in Allen Township and Snow Goose Gallery in Bethlehem.

Tickets are for sale the day of the tour at the society's historic site at 6600 Jacksonville Road, just off Route 512, three miles north of Route 22, between Bethlehem and Bath.

For further information, call 610-837-9015. The campus is open from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.

The 2017 tour theme is "Coverlets-A Warm Christmas.”

Police Blotter

Evicted Tenant In Bath Trespassing Colonial Regional Police responded to 432 Old Forge Drive on October 20 for a report of a former tenant of that address breaking into the residence.

When police arrived on scene, they found a broken kitchen window. When police looked inside the residence, the front door was barricaded with a couch and there were several young children inside. Police announced their presence and after several minutes an adult female identified as Aliea Hughes appeared but refused to unlock the doors for police. Police were able to make entry into the residence with the assistance of the property management company. Hughes was an evicted tenant who was not allowed back on the property. She was arrested for criminal trespass, criminal mischief and endangering the welfare of children.

Understanding the Ballot Referendum

By State Rep. Marcia Hahn 138th Legislative District In 1997, the Pennsylvania Constitution was amended to allow local taxing authorities - counties, school districts and municipalities - to reduce any homeowner’s property taxes by no more than 50 percent of the median assessed value of all primary residences (the Homestead Exclusion). On Election Day, we will have a chance to potentially raise that figure to 100 percent.

When we go to our polling place on Election Day (Nov. 7), we will be asked to vote on the following question: “Shall the Pennsylvania Constitution be amended to permit the General Assembly to enact legislation authorizing local taxing authorities to exclude from taxation up to 100 percent of the assessed value of each homestead property within a local taxing jurisdiction, rather than limit the exclusion to one-half of the median assessed value of all homestead property, which is the existing law?”

There have been few ballot referendum questions that have generated more confusion than the one we are facing in November. Some people think we are voting to eliminate property taxes. We are not. What we are considering is the possibility of empowering our local taxing authorities with the ability to reduce or eliminate property taxes.

The referendum question also differs from Senate Bill 76, for which there are many advocates. Senate Bill 76 deals strictly with school property taxes. This question addresses ALL property taxes that are imposed.

If the referendum is approved, the next step involves the General Assembly crafting appropriate legislation to empower local governments. They would then have to decide whether or not to exercise their option to reduce or eliminate property taxes. It is important to note that should a local taxing authority choose elimination, another funding stream would have to be put in place to make up for the lost revenue.

If this referendum is defeated, the fight to eliminate property taxes does not die. I, for one, will continue to support any and all attempts to address this burden we as property owners bear. Likewise, if the referendum passes, proponents of property tax elimination still have some work to do.

What they can do is be happy that their argument has advanced.

You’ve no doubt heard property taxes are not a statewide problem. One thing the ballot referendum may do is define how much of a statewide issue they are.

I know this ballot referendum question has generated a great deal of questions. What I hope I have done is educate the voters by laying out the facts for your consideration and decision, in the hope that you will be better able to make an educated decision. If you still have questions, please feel free to contact my district office at 610-746-2100.

Halloween

When I was about three years old, we were visiting my grandfather's house one evening near Halloween. A knock on the door brought my older cousins running to see who was there. Two very tall, ugly masked trick or treaters came into the kitchen where we were sitting. They said nothing while some of the family tried to guess their identity. One of them made a move toward me.

Never having seen such ugly faces before, I became so frightened that I lifted the pillow on a daybed and stuck my head under the pillows, crying and screaming.

My grandfather became very angry and yelled at the two tricksters to leave immediately. He said it was enough to scare a child into convulsions. Before they left, however, they threw handfuls of corn inside the kitchen and onto the coal stove. The noise of the corn hitting the linoleum and the hot stove sent me into another crying spell. That scene remains imprinted in my memory to this day. Halloween was derived from the word Hallowmas given to the three Church holy days - the eve of All Saints Day (October 31), All Saints Day (November 1) and All Soul's Day (November 2).

The custom of "trick or treat" probably dates back to early All Soul's Day parades in England.

During the festival, poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called 'soul cakes.' Dressing in costumes has both European and Celtic roots. On Halloween, it was believed ghosts came back to earth and people thought they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes after dark, so they wore masks when they went out.

On Halloween, to keep ghosts away, people would place bowls of food outside their homes to appease ghosts and prevent they from attempting to enter the house.

Annual Halloween Parade marches Through the Borough of Bath

by KERI LINDENMUTH There were plenty of fire trucks to be heard, floats to be seen, and candy to be had at the annual Bath Firefighters Halloween Parade on Tuesday, October 17, which was organized by members of the Bath Volunteer Fire Department.

Mayor Fiorella Mirabito and Borough Manager Brad Flynn helped lead the parade, which included four divisions of local scout troops, sports teams, business, and fire departments.

The Bath Volunteer Fire Department, Bethlehem Township Fire Department, Bushkill Fire Department, and many more gave families plenty of reasons to cheer as the flashing lights of the firetrucks lit the borough.

The Shriners also made an appearance and zipped around in their “Tin Lizzies.” Meanwhile, the Moore Township RedHawks football and cheerleading teams led the crowd in some spirited chants. The

Northampton Big N Band and the Northampton Middle School Band also provided the borough with some musical entertainment.

The popular costumes of the night were superheroes. From local scout troops to even some four-legged friends, there were plenty of Supermans, Batmans, and Iron Mans throwing out candy.

There were also plenty of scares. The team at Kory Rabenold Productions performed their own tale of terror for parade goers. Their colorful costumes, wild dancing, and intricate float transported those watching to a twisted carnival you should probably think twice about before visiting.

An appearance from Santa Clause finished up the parade, but before the holiday season begins, there are still some more Halloween celebrations to be had in the borough.

Trick-or-Treat will be held on Saturday, October 28.

from several hundreds of dollars to over $1000. The Bath Museum is fortunate to have an all-original 1940, two-tone, Elgin girl's bicycle. It was pur-

chased from Sears, Roebuck & Co. in 1940. Marjorie Houser Rehrig received this cream and blue color bicycle as a Christmas gift here in Bath. She later donated the bicycle to the museum and now it hangs proudly suspended from the ceiling.

You'll find the most fascinating things at the Bath Museum.

The Bath Museum is open free to the public every third Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Currently it is located on the second floor of the Bath Municipal Building at Penn and Washington Streets. Mark November 17 on your calendar and come out and visit this local treasure. P.S. The Governor Wolf Historical Society, located just south of Bath, also has their museum open the same date from 1 to 3 p.m.

God Reconstructed Her Face

Seventeen-year-old Claudia Oggero lay on the road in Uruguay, bleeding.

Moments before a truck suddenly slammed into her, sending her flying from her bike and crushing her face. Well-intentioned neighbors dragged Claudia by her arms back to her home. There her sister screamed in terror and her mother broke into hysterical tears. “Please, just leave me alone,” Claudia slurred, “I want to pray.” In her room, she heard the voice of Jesus. She had accepted Him as Savior years ago when her family, desperate for healing, began attending a Pentecostal church. “Share testimonies about Me,” His voice said, “and in three days I will heal you.”

Doctors declared many bones in her back were broken. Even with multiple facial reconstruction surgeries, they told her, she would never be whole again.

“No,” Claudia said, “I will be healed.” The next day, despite everyone’s protests, Claudia went to school, intent on telling everyone of God’s promise to heal her.

Some students openly wept when they saw her; others screamed in fear. The librarian fainted. Claudia returned to school the next day. Her friend, whose father was a renowned plastic surgeon, tried to console her. “Don’t worry. My father can operate on you.” “No thank you,” Claudia replied firmly. “My Father will operate on me.” That afternoon when she got home, Claudia pled with the Lord. “Father, I know You will not embarrass your children. I will wait for You.” She went into the bathroom to gently wash her injured face. Claudia was horrified to see clumps of battered flesh falling from her face into the sink. She felt her mouth and nose begin to move and snap. In the mirror she saw her face – perfect, precise, whole! Doctors had no explanation. No broken bones could now be found anywhere in her body, and her face was perfectly restored. “Not even the best doctor in the world could have done this,” one surgeon stammered. “Not even on a newborn child have I seen skin so beautiful. Your God is real.”

18 state budget. House Bill 542 must now be taken up by the Senate before it can be signed into law by Gov. Tom Wolf.

Hahn issued the following statement after passage of the bill: “There is a saying around Harrisburg that there is no such thing as a perfect bill. What that infers is a level of compromise is necessary if legislation is to be enacted, and that is particularly true in difficult times. The current budget debate is one of those times.

“I feel the bill we are advancing is a win for Pennsylvania taxpayers. We managed to hold the line on broad-based tax increases on personal income. House Bill 542 closes the door on recent attempts to increase taxes on commercial warehouses and hotels, two efforts that would have been especially punitive to businesses and tourism in the Lehigh Valley.

“This revenue package also closes the book on the 201617 fiscal year by addressing the

spending shortfall. It funds our schools and the core functions of government without reaching deeper into taxpayers’ wallets.

“I hope my Senate colleagues act quickly on it and send it to the governor for his signature into law.”

Questions about this or any legislative issue should be addressed to Hahn’s district office by calling 610-746-2100.

Seated: Kay Saeger, Connie Diehl, Unknown, Bonnie Hahn, Patricia West, Dianne Kist, Brenda Hahn, Carol Heckman, Sharon Bittenbender.

By CHARLES MCILHANEY JR. The first day of fifth grade, 1956, followed the summer of Elvis Presley’s popularity. As I sat at the last desk at end of a row, I noticed a few boys wearing a new shoe style called the “flagg flyer.”

It was a black casual with laces replaced by a mechanical front flap to open and close the shoe. I admired those shoes, but they were expensive. And since my new school year wardrobe, including shoes, had already been outfitted at Louis Katz’s clothing store

on Main Street in Bath, I would need to wait ‘til the next year’s school term to get a pair.

And so it was, on the first day of sixth grade, 1957, I again sat at an end desk proudly wearing my new pair of “Flagg Flyer” shoes, which remarkably were much less

expensive than last year. But as I looked up the aisle, those same boys were not wearing “Flagg Flyers.” It was the summer of Pat Boone, and they were sporting shoes with laces called “white bucks.” That’s right, as always, a day late and a “buck” short.

Vince Bauer Fiberglass Repair won 3 to 1 over Maxx Amusements and made first place in the Bath Commercial League’s as of week seven. Wyatt Davison’s 243236-241–720 turned the trick for Fiberglass Repair over Maxx even though they had Brent Bartholomew, 200-217–596; Logan Davidson, 228–566; Ed Musselman, 205–546; Harry Emery, 213–535; and Gerald Bartholomew, 201–509.

Proclamation

A Proclamation Designating October 2017 As National Breast Cancer Month In The Borough Of Northampton

WHEREAS, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, for

woman age 40 and over who have never had a mammogram, October is a reminder to schedule your baseline mammograms or call for an appointment to start or continue your regular exams with a visit to your doctor and the Northampton Imaging Center, and WHEREAS, regular mammograms can be thought of as a form of insurance; breast cancer risk rises with age and is more likely to be treated by a mammogram before symptoms develop. Northampton Imaging Center is a fully accredited mammography facility, being accredited by the ACR and MQSA, and WHEREAS, metastatic breast cancer is Stage IV advanced breast cancer that has spread from the original breast site to the bones and/or organs such as liver, lungs, and the brain, and WHEREAS, there are thousands of Americans currently living with metastatic breast cancer, for which there is no cure at the present time, and the disease can move quickly or be active sometimes and not others, underscoring the immediate need for increased public awareness; statistics suggest that most of those living with metastatic breast cancer have a life expectancy of two to three years from the initial diagnosis, and WHEREAS, metastatic breast cancer frequently involves one treatment after another (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal treatment, targeted therapies), with the end goal of extending life as long as possible with the best quality of life possible, resulting in metastatic breast cancer patients living with the constant fear that treatments will stop working and treatment options will be exhausted, and WHEREAS, metastatic breast cancer is rarely discussed during Breast Cancer Awareness Month; however, those living with the disease should never feel isolated or ignored, and WHEREAS, Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Month emphasizes the urgent need for new, targeted breast cancer treatments that will provide a high quality of life and prolong life expectancy for patients by making Stage IV Cancer a chronic, not a terminal, disease, and WHEREAS, the raising awareness of this misunderstood disease will help bring about acceptance, support, and solidarity, and help advocate for medical advances. It is critical to educate the public and to help provide metastatic breast cancer patients with a more supportive and productive environment, and WHEREAS, it is your decision to get the help you need, if you believe and desire; start with an appointment to your doctor to arrange for a mammogram, and you will be taking the first step for saving your life; also remember there is a lot of information and people who are out there willing to help, and WHEREAS, The Metastatic Breast Cancer Network is calling for everyone to do their part to further build awareness of this disease and, together, fight for development of treatments that extend lives, while the search for the cure continues.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Thomas D. Reenock, Mayor of the Borough of Northampton, by virtue of authority vested in me, acknowledge “October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month” in the Borough of Northampton, and I encourage all residents of the Borough and surrounding area to join me in communicating with one another by taking part in appropriate programs and activities that demonstrate a commitment of recognition, support and acceptance to our friends and neighbors living with metastatic breast cancer.

Thomas D. Reenock, Mayor

Moore Township Leaf Collection Program

The Moore Township leaf collection program will begin on or about the week of October 31st and will continue for the next eight weeks (depending on conditions). Actual collection will commence when a sufficient amount of leaves have fallen to warrant dispatching the collection equipment.

With the continuing increase in volume of leaves it has become impossible to guarantee a specific pick-up day for any one location.

There will be multiple trips through neighborhoods for the duration of the collection program; therefore, if the leaves are not in place when the crew goes by, they will be picked up on the next rotation. This schedule is subject to inclement weather, mechanical breakdowns, and township emergencies making it necessary to temporarily delay pick-up.

THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES MUST BE FOLLOWED

1. Leaves cannot be collected on private roads.

2. LEAVES ONLY shall be raked to the edge of the roadway.

3. Leaf piles shall be kept off roadways.

4. Leaf piles must be free of sticks and other foreign matters.

THE PUBLIC WORKS CREW MAY REFUSE TO PICK UP ANY LEAF PILE IF INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL IS FOUND WITHIN THE PILE OR IF THE ABOVE RULES ARE NOT FOLLOWED. Moore Township residents are welcome to bring leaves and brush to the Brush and Leaf Recycling Area, located to the east side of the Public Works Building during daylight hours, seven days a week.

by KERI LINDENMUTH The unseasonably warm weather did not keep families from an annual October tradition in Nazareth. The Nazareth Halloween parade was held on Saturday, October 21 and families lined the streets to see the floats and catch the candy.

The Nazareth Borough Police Department and mayoral candidate Lance Colondo led off the parade, followed by the Vigilance Hose Company and its fleet of fire engines.

The Nazareth Area Blue Eagle Marching Band performed and Nazareth’s own World War II veteran Harry Adams rode through town in a replica World War II artillery vehicle (cannon fire included). There was no shortage of fire engines, blowing their horns, flashing their lights, and whistling their sirens. The Upper Nazareth Fire Company, the Bushkill Fire Department, Hecktown Volunteer Fire Company,

Tatamy Fire Company, and Bath Volunteer Fire Department all made appearances.

There were also plenty of marching bands to keep the crowds entertained. In addition to the Blue Eagle Marching Band, the East Hills Middle School Charger Band, the Broughal Middle School Rockets Band, the Wind Gap Blue Eagles Alumni Drum and Bugle Corps, the Northeast Middle School Musical Hornets, and the Nitschmann Marching Band all performed.

Local sports teams, dance schools, businesses, and scout troops had their own decorated floats and plenty of creative costumes, including the cast of Disney's Descendants, fishermen, scientists, and even solar eclipse enthusiasts complete with glasses.

By the time the four-division parade was over, buckets and bags were filled with candy and the Halloween season in Nazareth was in full swing.
