Lehigh Township Supervisors
Discuss newsletter and banners
By LAURA KLOTZ
During the Sept. 24 Lehigh Township Supervisors meeting, Township Manager Alice Rehrig informed the board that the new maintenance building’s certificate of occupancy has been received. Rehrig is working on collecting all of the final paperwork from the contractors, and the Public Works crew is transitioning into their new facility. The old buildings will, at least for the time being, be used for storage and also for messy projects such as oil changes in maintenance vehicles. A public open house for the new building will be discussed and scheduled with Public Works Director Frank Zamadics.
Rehrig next presented the board members with the minimum required amounts for 2025 pension MMOs for the township employees. The township will receive roughly $200,000 in state assistance next year for this purpose. The board also voted to once again purchase Thanksgiving turkeys as employee appreciation gifts.
A lengthy discussion was held concerning what should be printed in the township newsletter regarding the appointment of the new tax collector, Suzanne Hawke. Hawke was asked for an update on her position, and she replied that she has completed her background check and given her oath of office to Rehrig; the bonding paperwork has been filed. Outgoing tax collector Mary Lou-
ise Trexler was also present, and is working well with Hawke, who is assisting her with correcting errors in previous reports.
The board members present agreed to the wording of the short article which will appear in the newsletter, and it should be printed and distributed in the coming weeks. It was noted that Hawke’s appointment is only until the conclusion of what would have been Trexler’s current term, which expires on Dec. 31, 2025. Residents who have tax questions should contact Hawke by calling 610-760-9295, or by sending an email to lehightwsptax@aol.com, rather than calling board members or the township office. Additionally, any residents who would like to view the results of the forensic audit may request to do so by filling out a right-to-know form on the township website, www.lehightownship.com.
Board member Cynthia Miller advised the board that state law requires a closeout audit for the portion of 2024 when Trexler was actively in office. This audit clears the outgoing tax collector so that the incoming tax collector starts fresh, and it must be done as soon as possible. Rehrig will get a cost quote from David Kunsman, the accountant who has done previous audits for the township.
During public comment, resident Paul Nikisher encouraged everyone to attend the Dream

Come True fundraiser being held at Becky’s Drive-In on Sunday, Oct. 6.
Another lengthy discussion was held concerning a political banner which has been erected over Wood Drive near the elementary school, and whether this is in violation of the right-of-way. Board member Miller read the definition of right-of-way, which does include all streets and the space directly above them. One audience member said that he had examined the construction of the banner’s supports, and he felt that it could pose a potential safety hazard. Another pointed out that the township, having been made aware of the sign, is now liable if something unsafe were to happen, such as an accident caused by people stopping to take pictures with the banner. It was observed that a number of people, especially on motorcycles, have already traveled to the banner’s location to do exactly that. A resident volunteered to submit a written complaint to Zoning Officer Elizabeth Amato, so that she has a paper trail with which to investigate the matter and determine the legality of the banner.
On a final note, it was observed that the Hometown Heroes banners are beginning to be erected, and most if not all residents at the meeting agreed that they look great.
The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 8 in the municipal building, located at 1069 Municipal Rd., Walnutport.

Darvin G. Hartzell
Darvin G. Hartzell passed away peacefully on July 23, 2024, at the age of 101 at Sycamore Run Rehabilitation Center in Millersburg, Ohio. Born in Bath, Pa. on June 14, 1923, to the late Earle and Thelma (Wittle) Hartzell, Darvin’s journey through life was marked by a determination to grow beyond his Depression-era upbringing.
Darvin grew up on Cherry Hill outside Nazareth, Pa. with his sister, the late Dorrace (Woodward), and parents. He graduated from Nazareth High School in June 1942 and joined the U.S. Coast Guard that fall. He was posted aboard the CG Cutter Mistletoe, which patrolled the Chesapeake Bay, then down along the Atlantic coast to Norfolk. Towards the war’s end, he attended radio school, preparing for an assignment where he would have been among the first men ashore during the planned invasion of Japan. Following the war, he received an honorable discharge and returned to Nazareth. He was a lifetime member of the Harold V. Knecht Post 415 of the American Legion.
Not wishing to return to his pre-war job at the local cement plant, he used the GI Bill to enroll in a refrigeration school in Cleveland in 1946. Ultimately, Darvin was hired as an office worker in the accounting department at the Ramsey-Bennett Co. which sold air conditioning and refrigeration systems. In the early ’60s, he was employed by Brubaker, Helfrich & Taylor, CPAs. He took evening classes at Western Reserve University, until he was confident enough to pass the state exam and become a Certi-
fied Public Accountant. In 1972, he was hired at Hausser & Taylor, a local accounting firm, where he was named one of 26 partners and worked most of his career as an auditor serving Cleveland-area clients.
Darvin was married to Thelma Jane (Weber) for 38 years. They raised two sons, Brian, now 75, and living outside Loudonville, Ohio, and Eric, 64, in Columbus. Brian is married to Terry Ann (Schamber) and they have two children, Doreen Hartzell of Bruno, Minn., and Bradford Hartzell of Oak Point, Texas. Eric is married to Virginia Pausal.
After Darvin retired, he moved to Arizona from 1985 until 2008, then to Harrison, Ark. He relocated to Loudonville, Ohio in 2021. During these years, he was married to Jacqueline (Jaclyn) Junglas and together they were active with their local churches. Jaclyn passed away in 2020. He leaves step-daughter Beverly Pardo of Mesa, Ariz., and sistersin-law Ruth Davis of Springfield, Mo. and Judy Werner of Prescott, Ariz. In his final years, Darvin resided at McMullen Assisted Care in Loudonville.
Services: A graveside memorial service and interment is planned for Green Mount Cemetery in Bath, at 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 4. Local arrangements are entrusted to the Bartholomew Funeral Home, Bath.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the Schoeneck Moravian Church, located at 316 N. Broad St. Ext., Nazareth, PA 18064.

proposed increase could set the base at $400.
During the Sept. 24 Board of Supervisors meeting, Township Manager Ilene Eckhart admitted the township was not as “aggressive” as it could have been when raising fees in the past.
“We probably should have adjusted last time a little more aggressively,” she told supervisors while outlining updates to the 2025 draft budget.
With the increases proposed by JP Mascaro, supervisors worry that the township's reserve will be depleted. The equity in this fund
helps support other programs in the township, such as electronics recycling and yard waste recycling through FRCA.
“We need some reserve at the end of the budget year,” added Eckhart.
No increase was approved during the meeting, as this decision will be part of the 2025 final budget.
In other news, the township discussed further upgrades to the new municipal building on Howertown Road, which has been undergoing renovations since January.
Supervisors approved access control and security upgrades through Keystone Technologies for $73,199. This price will cover all camera equipment, networking, door access, card readers and telephones.
Eckhart called this a “competitive price.”

ing smoke detectors to the new building; however, some worried that the township was adding too many.
A new change request from contractors recommended 26 smoke detectors for the building, including in every office. The proposed cost would be $1,000 per smoke detector.
“That’s a lot of money,” said Supervisor Paul Link, whose fulltime job involves installing fire systems. “I think it is overkill.”
“I cannot imagine that, halfway through the project, we missed 26 smoke detectors,” Link added.
Supervisors did not vote to approve the additional fire alarms and will wait to hear whether they are required.

dispatched to P.J. Whelihan’s in Hanover Township for a report of a male laying in the grass. Upon officers’ arrival, the male, who was identified as 61-year-old Steven Barker Doyne, was seen walking in the middle of Stoke Park Road and stumbling. Officers made contact with Doyne and determined him to be under the influence of alcohol. While officers were speaking to Doyne, he became belligerent and kept yelling, which kept causing public inconvenience. Bethlehem City Police Dept. officers arrived on scene to assist in arresting Doyne. Doyne was charged with disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. Doyne was taken to Northampton County Prison.
Terroristic threats/harassment
On Sept. 12, the victim in this case contacted the CRPD and stated that at the Hanover Elementary School at around 9 a.m., 36-year-old Lamar Jackson, of Bethlehem, drove up to him and stated, “Meet me down the street and I will put a bullet in you…” He then drove away. An arrest warrant was granted by District Judge Zumas for terroristic threats and harassment. The arrest warrant was then served.
Simple assault
On Sept. 12 around 5:52 p.m., Northampton County Dispatch requested additional
units to help Nazareth detectives, who were in a physical altercation. Colonial Regional Police arrived to the scene. It was learned that Nazareth detectives observed a female, later identified as 23-year-old Hailey Farber, of Nazareth, going in and out of traffic. Detectives made contact with Farber. Farber was asked by detectives to sit down, to which she did not comply. Farber then ran from detectives and was later caught, where a struggle ensued, and a detective got kicked in the left leg. They then were able to control Farber and get her into the back of a patrol vehicle.
Farber is being charged with simple assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.

Area Public Library
Announces October Events
Submitted by VERONICA LAROCHE
The autumn online auction has arrived! Check out the items we have to bid on by going to https://napl.tiny.us/oa24. Bid while you can; the auction closes at 11 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5. If the auction is here, the au-
cards. Dues for 2025 will be collected.
No membership dues will be collected at the Christmas party. All members are cordially invited to attend.
We welcome any new members to visit or join.
Bus trips will be displayed at the trip table.
tumn basket social can't be far behind! On Friday, Oct. 11 from 6 to 8 p.m., you'll have time to drop your tickets on over 250 gift cards and baskets. Tickets at the door are $10 per sheet of 26 tickets, including the door prize ticket, which you can drop for any item as well. Do yourself a giant favor though; stop by the library through 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 10 to buy your tickets in advance and save $10, as you can purchase four sheets of tickets for $30. That's 104 tickets! Join us for a short time or join us all evening because there's a lot going on besides the regular baskets and gift cards. As usual, the Friends of the Library will be having a bake sale. All items start at $2, so bring your cash because
the Friends can't take cards. If you're looking to make a night of it, the banquet and event center will be selling food; all of the Hungarian staples you know and love, plus more.
The library will also be raffling off big-ticket items, including an Apple watch. These tickets are separate from your sheets of tickets, as are the tickets for the library's 50/50. These tickets are $2 each or three for $5. Again, only cash or check can be accepted, since raffles are considered gambling. We will be pulling the big-ticket items and the 50/50 around 7:45 p.m., so those winners are able to take their prizes home. All other prizes will be pulled after 8 p.m. and taken back to the library. Winners will be called beginning Monday afternoon, Oct. 14. Here's wishing the best of luck to all of our supporters.
As we move through October, programs begin opening up again. Tech Tutoring remains on Mondays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon by appointment only; sign up on our website (northamptonapl.org) or give us a call at 610-262-7537.

Pleasure gardens were deliberately planned and cultivated landscapes within a Moravian settlement. In the mid-18th to early 19th centuries these green spaces provided a place for rest, contemplation of nature, and mental solitude. Susan Ellis, Executive Director of the Moravian Historical Society will discuss the international influences which the Moravians brought together to create their own distinct landscapes and pleasure gardens in Europe and Pennsylvania. Weather permitting, Susan will take us on a guided walk in Moravian Hall Square's Pleasure Garden to see what remains of the original garden and what has changed.
