Cement worker of the month- Michael Miller

Michael Miller –Contributed photo

By ED PANY Mr. Michael Miller was reared in Nazareth, graduating from Nazareth High School in 1986, where he played tackle on the football team and was a heavy weight wrestler on the Blue Eagle Championship wresting squad.

He recalled, “I especially admired Coach Ray Nunamaker and Larry Oberly, my social studies teacher.” Michael attended Unity College in Maine and studied conservation and law enforcement. He used this training and served on the Coopersburg Police Department for seven years.

A prolific weight lifter, Michael owned Nazareth Barbell for 12 years.

He remembered, “Mr. James McGaughrin of Essroc encouraged me to start a new career at Essroc, now Lehigh Heidelberg

in Nazareth. My grandfather and uncles were former cement workers at the old Penn-Dixie.”

Starting in the labor department, he progressed to labor supervisor at the plant, number three grinding facility. Today he is the plant’s service supervisor, in charge of a 15-man team. With pride in his voice he said, “We are fortunate to have hard working, cooperative and respectful men in the department. They are all good men and I care about them. Our production manager is another fine man, Mr. Joyse Riva. Old timers Billy Lambert and David Dean have also shared their experiences with me.”

“Our team is responsible in keeping the plant clean and safe, each day we have a “tool box”

At Bath Quilt Show, every quilt tells a story

By KERI LINDENMUTH A nine-year-old’s quilt made from stencils and sugar bags by the light of a kerosene lamp; a late husband’s cherished tie collection turned into a geometric piece of art; a wedding quilt signed by loved ones and friends; Bath’s old ribbon mill preserved in the backing of a quilt made of suit scraps.

These were just some of the

stories told at the second annual quilt show at Christ Church UCC in Bath on Saturday, September 30. The show proved that sometimes quilts, whether sewn by hand or finished by machine, tell stories just as engaging and heartfelt as any story told in the pages of a book. “[Quilts are] a piece of your family, [a] piece of your history,” explained Sharon Schrantz, co-

Allen Township Supervisors disagree over Future Jaindl development

By KERI LINDENMUTH The Allen Township Supervisors could not agree over whether or not an internal road in the future Jaindl warehouse development at Howertown Road, Seemsville Road, and Route 329 should remain public or private.

During the monthly board of supervisors meeting on Tuesday, September 26, developers of the site presented their road plans.

The plans consist of one four-lane section of road at the site’s eastern section. This road will have two through lanes and two staging lanes for trucks. On the property’s western side, a three-lane section of road will feature two through lanes and one center turning lane.

A turnaround area will preclude trucks from using Howertown Road and force that traffic onto Seemsville Road instead.

The road will be public, allowing car traffic to cut through the development to avoid congestion on Howertown Road. Developers said liability is too high to allow the road to be private. However, developers made sure the road is designed to be “better-than-public standards.”

Supervisor Alfred Pierce was the first to voice concern over the plan. He was upset that the plan did not include a road connecting the warehouse development to an industrial development across Howertown Road.

“It does not strike me as beneficial to the township if we do not connect roads,” he said.

He worried that, as the plan stands now, traffic will remain congested on Howertown Road and Route 329.

“I see what it does for your guys,” he told developers, “but I do not see what it does for us,” in terms of community planning.

However, developers said that such a through road would be impossible because they do not own the parcel of land across from the development.

Pierce was not the only supervisor concerned with the plan.

Supervisor Dale Hassler worried what an additional public road would mean to the public works team during wintertime.

Meanwhile, Supervisor Gary Behler did not care for the idea of an additional public road because taxpayers would have to care for it. Supervisor Bruce Frack agreed.

“You want it, you build it, you take it,” he told developers.

In addition, Chairman Larry Oberly was worried what Pierce’s suggestion would mean for future traffic light warrants. If too many cars avoided Howertown Road, traffic would decrease to the point that much-needed traffic light warrants would be harder for the township to acquire.

“My biggest fear [is]…we do not get the warrants,” he said. Continued from page 1 “[We] got to get the warrants for meeting to plan the day’s work the light.” schedule.

daries. He suggested deferring the road connection until the future, when, or if, ownership can be resolved.

“We have not lost an opportunity to do anything,” he said.

“We just will not do it today.”

“I am not happy with it,” said Pierce, “but it is the best we are going to do.”

Oberly was not happy with the plan either, but, adamant on ensuring that the traffic light warrants remain in reach, voiced reluctant support.

“It is not exactly what I like, but what I will be forced to live with,” he said. He also said he understood the liability reasons for making the road public.

To help ease supervisors’ concerns when it came to public works, Jaindl said they would maintain responsibility for the development’s staging and parking lanes.

After much back and forth, council chose not to take a motion and instead allowed the developers to continue with their plans. Although a formal motion was not taken, Behler and Frack stated they were still not in support of the idea of a public road.

However, after requesting other changes to the plan, the remaining supervisors were content not request any more road changes.

“It is what it is,” said Hassler.

Bath Dramatic Club Imagine, if you can, life without cell phones, Internet and television. What did people do for fun and entertainment? Well, the late 1800s and early 1900s abounded with clubs, societies and groups that met to socialize and collaborate for different interests. And Bath was no exception - the Bath Museum has the artifacts to prove it. The Bath Dramatic Club was one example.

The Bath Museum has a playbill from a mystery play in three acts called, "The House of the Flashing Light" which was performed Friday and Saturday, May 26, 27, 1930. The play was held in the Fireman's Auditorium (now the Bath Social Hall) with the erection of scenery (a living room

somewhere on the coast of California) done by Fred Angelstein, paper hanging and woodwork

by M. B. Siegfried and music by Elizabeth Sencenbach. General Admission was 25 cents with reserved seats priced at 40 cents.

The stage manager was Huge Horner. One can imagine the shenanigans from the description of the cast of characters: Ethel Bittenberger plays "the housekeeper, the mistress of the house of the flashing light."

Rebecca Abel plays "the sister to the mistress."

Myrtie Miltenberger, Rosa Moser play "nieces who have come to hear the will."

Moore Township Historical Country Harvest sales Commission to hold Through holiday Oktoberfest Celebration

By KERI LINDENMUTH At the Moore Township Historical Commission’s monthly meeting on Wednesday, September 27, planning was underway for the upcoming Oktoberfest celebration, which will benefit the commission’s Edelman School Restoration Fundraiser.

On Thursday, October 12, the food and music of Germany will be brought to the Klecknersville Rangers Volunteer Fire Company in Bath. Attendees will have an opportunity to indulge in their choice of sausage and mashed potatoes or Bavarian pork roast and sauerkraut. And, of course, an Oktoberfest celebration would not be complete without German chocolate cake or apple pie.

The food will be provided by Latteman’s. The historical commission is looking forward to Oktoberfest as an opportunity for the community to come together, eat, celebrate, and perhaps even share information about their family’s history. The commission will have a table set up for people to share historical information they have about the township, as well as to ask questions about the township’s history. The commission will also be selling copies

of its recently published book on the Edelman School.

The event will have both a basket raffle, with prizes donated by local businesses, and a variety of musical entertainment.

The celebration follows on the heels of a successful Community Day celebration for the historical commission, which had a display table with pictures, information, and books. “[At the celebration] we had a lot of interest,” says commission Chairwoman Charmaine Bartholomew. “The most we ever had. That day out there was informational and beneficial.”

She said many community members came to share their stories and history. Now, the Oktoberfest celebration will be another opportunity for stories to be shared.

The Oktoberfest celebration will be held on October 12 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Klecknersville Rangers Volunteer Fire Company. Tickets are $18 per person, or $35 for pairs. They can be purchased at the Moore Township Municipal Building, from historical commission members, or by calling Supervisor Dick Gable at 610-759-9449 ext. 3.

“My staff and I are looking forward to again spending time with our neighbors and friends who come out every year,” Hahn said. “With nearly 70 vendors scheduled to attend, this event is

a great opportunity for them to check out the many local, state and federal service providers that are available.”

The Lehigh Valley Hospital Network will provide free flu shots. Anyone wishing to be vaccinated simply needs to show proof of identity. Door prizes will be awarded and light refreshments will be served.

Questions about this or any state government issue should call Hahn’s district office at 610746-2100.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Another shooting tragedy has shaken our nation, as more than 58 people were shot dead and another 515 were injured when a 64-year-old man fired automatic rifles down from a 32nd floor hotel room in Las Vegas as 23,000 country music fans were attending a concert below him.

We’ll never know what drove him to do such an evil thing because he killed himself. What is this world coming to? God help us. . . .It’s hard to imagine, and we can only pray that it never happens to any of us. . . .Turning to positive things, Martin Guitar had a networking event at their factory over in Nazareth that was enjoyed by about 70+ folks, and the Nazareth Business Council, Chamber of Commerce and Moravian Historical Society had an outdoor concert on the lawn of the Whitefield House that families loved. These were uplifting experiences. . . .Electrical crews were busy in Bath last Monday replacing a pole that was knocked off downtown. Even though signs read “road closed,” traffic got by and repairs made. . . . It turned a bit warmer this week. Too bad the farmers market is now closed for the season. They could have had a couple more weeks of sunshine, Indian Summer they call it. . . .

Phillies season finally wrapped up and they fired their skipper Pete Mackanin. Not sure how things are all his fault - not like he can pitch for ‘em. Hey, get ready for my World Series prediction gang after the wildcard games are over this week . . . Columbus Day is this coming Monday. Don’t know how many places will be closed, but it’s a holiday and we’ll find out, most likely post offices and banks. It usta be celebrated on the 12th of October, now it’s one of those Monday holidays. . . .Gas prices were high for a while just after the hurricane hit Houston, but I took notice that they came

down a bit this past week, about $2.72 a gallon for regular. . . . A final thought on Sunday night’s shooting tragedy. Gun control and all the laws of the land can never prevent what happened.

It’s a force of evil that has taken over the forces of good here and around the world. We can debate it until the end of time, but until the minds of mankind change, things like the Las Vegas massacre and other acts of evil will prevail.

BATH AREA making since the beginning of time. Many of the quilts at the Bath Quilt Show were made of old pieces of fabric. One quilt from the late nineteenth century was made from old pieces of men’s suits and backed with a light pink ribbon from Bath’s old ribbon mill. Other quilts from the early twentieth century were sewn from washed feed and sugar bags. Known as red work quilts, they featured red stencil stiches of animals and flowers, sewn by children. Another quilt, owned

by Bath resident Marjorie Rehrig, is made of her late husband Carl’s colorful tie collection. Marjorie herself even painted detailed pictures on some of the ties.

Schrantz said there is a “closeness” these quilts form, a “oneness,” with family members.

“Each time you give a quilt,” she said, “you give a hug.”

Schrantz and other organizers of the quilt show are already planning for next year, where more stories and pieces of art will be on display.

Quilt made from Carl Rehrig’s tie collection.

Bath Quilt Show Continued from page 2

own. Last year, the church’s first quilt show featured 50 pieces from church members in Bath.

This year, there were 42 quilt pieces—42 stories—on display at the show from members of four different churches in the area: Christ Church UCC, St. John’s Lutheran UCC, Salem UCC, and

St. Peter’s UCC. Every piece used different patterns, different stitches, different colors, and different fabrics.

Some were made in the 1800s, while others were made as recently as this year. Some were large enough to cover a king size bed, while others were small enough for a baby’s crib.

There is no right or wrong way to make a quilt, explained

Schrantz, part of the reason quilting remains so popular.

Another reason people both young and old continue to quilt?

Schrantz says there is a yearning to go back to a simpler time, away from the noise of the Internet.

Joanne Pokorny, a volunteer who helped make the quilt show possible and a quilter herself, agrees. She said there is something “comfy and relaxed” about hand-sewn quilts. They evoke feelings of calmness and quietness. Pokorny, who runs an online quilting business with her husband called Pokorny Patchwork, had a table set up at the show with her own quilt work, as well as her husband’s woodwork.

She said it is fun to work with the different patterns and colors of the fabric. She focuses on reusing fabrics in her pieces, such as old dress shirts or flannel. “[I] enjoy making use of what I have,” she said.

Reusing materials is something Wendy Hujsa also enjoys.

She also had a table set up at the show, selling repurposed quilt pieces made from vintage lace and handkerchiefs. Owner of her own Etsy store Yesterday’s Threadz, she has been quilting for ten years. She describes her work as “bringing a vintage touch” to quilting, trying to figure out how to make something old work for today. The idea of repurposing and reusing fabric is something that has shaped quilt

NAZARETH AREA

Residents bring questions, Holy Family Church hosts official Groundbreaking of new Parish Center concerns to Nazareth Borough Council

Dirt abounds where the former convent used to sit. Now the ground is nearly ready for the construction of the new Holy Family Church Parish Center, just in front of the school. This corner will be the entrance to the parish center that will have an enclosed bridge connecting it to the school.

–Contributed photo

submitted by KRISTINE PORTER Holy Family Church in Nazareth is expanding. A church expanding? Yes, and we’re pretty excited about it.

At 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 8, just outside of Holy Family School, the church will be hosting its official groundbreaking for a new 19,000 square foot, twostory parish center. The project is expected to cost about $3 million and should be completed by August 2018.

The ceremony will take place in front of Holy Family School and will advance to the school

gymnasium where the time capsule from 1908 will be opened.

The capsule had been in the cornerstone of the old church.

The new center will be completely handicap-accessible and will accommodate a wide range of activities. Parishioners will be welcomed into a glass-enclosed atrium lobby that accesses the elevator to the second floor. The lobby will include a coffee bar for small gatherings, such as the Hospitality Committee’s Sunday donuts.

On the first floor, there will be a large banquet hall with a full-service kitchen that can be

subdivided to create a smaller hall for functions such as funeral luncheons. The open space will provide ample room for large and small parish events with a total seating capacity of 244. The first floor will also include a parish meeting room, as well as a coat room and restrooms.

The second floor will have a cafeteria to serve the Holy Family School students, a warming kitchen and several meeting rooms to accommodate the more than 23 parish organizations.

The building was designed by the architecture firm, W2A Design Group in Allentown. Some of their work includes the Crayola Experience in Easton and the Pottstown Borough Hall.

Bracy Contracting Inc., also in Allentown, has been hired to handle the construction. They are known for their work on the Levitt Pavilion at Steel Stacks, the Jaindl Building/America Bank in Allentown and the Hanover Township Administration and Public Works Facility in Allentown.

For more information about the construction project, please contact the Rev. Joseph Tobias, pastor of Holy Family Church, at 610-759-0870 or Dennis Sullivan, co-chairman of communications for the church's campaign, at 610-746-3418 or email at sulldm107@aol.com.

By JUSTIN SWEITZER In usual fashion, Nazareth Borough Council’s public workshop meeting on Thursday, Sept. 28 offered residents an opportunity to commend, question or air grievances of various facets of the borough community. Discussions stretched across multiple topics, including local apartment buildings, new ordinances, downtown development and the borough’s current garbage disposal contract.

Two Nazareth residents brought forth questions to borough council regarding the Lincoln Commons apartment complex at East Belvidere and South Whitfield streets. The former home of the Lincoln Textile Products Co. factory, the apartment complex will have nearly 80 units upon completion.

Resident Sandy Klotz relayed information to council, stating that some occupants at Lincoln Commons have been hearing a loud “chirping” noise coming from the building’s roof.

Zoning Administrator Dennis Huth said the noise is emanating from an ultrasonic device on the roof placed to address a turkey vulture problem that the building has. Members of council said that the birds are attracted to the type of roofing present at the apartment complex.

Borough resident Becky Butz also raised concerns of her own over Lincoln Commons, questioning the status of construction improvements in comparison

with the original Oct. 5 deadline that developer Nat Hyman gave to have the improvements completed by.

Solicitor Alfred Pierce said Hyman is now working with a deadline of Nov. 30 to complete outside improvements.

“He has to install stormwater, he has to blacktop the parking lot, he has to install a fence,” Pierce said. “This was [a deadline] that he sent us.”

Butz also noted that some residents had concerns with windows and insulation.

Council stressed to both residents that they cannot rely on secondhand information, and that residents with concerns need to come to them directly so that problems can be addressed in a more efficient manner.

“You’re bringing secondhand information,” Council President Daniel Chiavaroli said.

Council Vice President Larry Stoudt echoed Chiavaroli’s sentiment. He said that if residents have any concerns, they should contact the owner of Lincoln Commons themselves.

“They should contact the owner of the building,” he said.

In unrelated business, council will direct Councilman Charles Donello to contact J.P. Mascaro & Sons after resident Joe Lichner, along with many others, voiced his dissatisfaction with their service.

God’s Got Your Number

Evangelist Ken Gaub was traveling with his family on I-75 near Dayton, Ohio, when they decided to make a refreshment stop. Feeling the need to stretch his legs, he left his family at a restaurant and began walking.

As he passed a phone booth, the phone began ringing. Curiosity drove him to answer it. “Hello,” he said casually. An operator responded, “Long distance call for Ken Gaub.” His eyes widened and in shock he replied, “This can’t be! I was walking...” “Is Ken Gaub there?” the operator interrupted. “Yes, but how in the world did you reach me here?” I was walking by and the pay phone started ringing, and I …”

The operator broke in, “Is Mr. Gaub there or isn’t he?” “Yes, I am Ken Gaub,” he responded shaken and perplexed. Then another voice said, “Yes, that’s him, operator.” Ken listened dumbfounded. “I’m Millie from Harrisburg, PA. You don’t know me, but I’m desperate. Please help me.” She began weeping and then said, “I was about to commit suicide and had just finished writing a note, when I began to pray and tell God I really didn’t want to. Then I remembered seeing you on TV and thought if I could just talk to you, you could help me. Then some numbers came to my mind, and I scribbled them down.”

Knowing this encounter could only have been arranged by God, Ken began to counsel the woman. As she told of her despair, the presence of the Holy Spirit flooded the phone booth giving him words of wisdom beyond his ability. Then she prayed the sinner’s prayer (see www. naog.ws/message.htm) and met Jesus Christ Who would lead her into a new life. Ken walked away from that phone booth with an electrifying sense of the heavenly Father’s concern for those who cry out to Him as Psalm 34:15 promises, “His ears are open unto their cry.”

Only an all-knowing God could have caused that woman to call that number at that moment! –Adapted from God’s Got Your Number by Ken Gaub

Councilman Lance Colondo said there are stark contrasts between the service of J.P. Mascaro & Sons, the borough’s current service, and their former service provider, Waste Management.

“I’ve been a little baffled by their service. You could almost set your watch for Waste Management,” Colondo said. “I’ll be honest with you, it was like

ies for his dry cleaning business on South Chestnut Street. Even Dr. George Brong M.D. made house calls, if summoned, in his trusty red Jeep and carrying his black bag.

Seeing his Jeep parked at a house always sparked curious gossip in the neighborhood. Our favorite was the Wartman’s Ice Cream man. In warm months, he came to our part of town on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday toward evening. Along with standard flavors, each run he featured a few special varieties of ice cream hand dipped into cones and cups. His truck was equipped with a bell that rang between stops. You could almost judge the heat of the day by the number of times the bell paused on his approach.

One cool evening after the new school year had started, it was almost dark when I sat by an open window doing homework. I heard the bell slowly make its way up Chestnut Street, pass our house and continue out of town without a single pause.

It was a mournful sound- summer was over.

Lehigh Valley Zoo Recognizes East Allen Township Youth Summer Camp

by KERI LINDENMUTH The East Allen Township Youth Summer Camp was recognized by the Lehigh Valley Zoo at the East Allen Township Board of Supervisors monthly meeting on Thursday, September 28. The summer camp raised $1,779.50 for the Lehigh Valley Zoo’s endangered giraffe and African ex-

hibit. Chuck Frantz, program director for the summer camp, told the board how special this is for both the camp and the township as a whole.

Fundraising and the importance of giving is something instilled in the children at the summer camp. Frantz explained that every week, the children are given

a small burlap bag to fill with change. Those pennies, nickels, and dimes soon add up. Frantz said that $400 was raised within the first week of camp.

“We are very honored…[by] the support of the local community,” said Doreen Carl, Development Manager for the Lehigh Valley Zoo. “This is your zoo,” she told the residents of East Allen Township.

“This is a community zoo.”

The endangered giraffe exhibit and African Trail have cost roughly a million dollars. However, the immense project was finished on time, Carl said, thanks to the donations raised by the East Allen Township Youth Summer Camp.

She thanked the summer camp for “having passion…wanting to participate…and do good will.”

The camp’s top male fundraiser, Landon Nickischer, and

top female fundraiser, Morgan Hughes, were awarded plaques of appreciation by Carl. All members of the camp will be honored with an eight-foot bench on the zoo’s African Trail.

“This is an amazing program,” Pete Nickischer, father of Landon, said of the summer camp. “As you can see, Chuck [Frantz] and his team are teaching the children about community service and giving back.”

“If I can see those children smile,” Frantz said, it is worth it.

Other news in East Allen Township: • The third Rockefeller rezoning hearing will be held on October 18 at Northampton Area High School, from 6:30 to 10 p.m.

“My hope is that we will conclude that evening,” said Township Solicitor Joseph Piperato III.

“[I am] not so sure that we will, but we will try to.”

• Township Engineer James Milot recommended that the board look at repairing the Jacksonville Road Bridge with sealer for the winter.

The bridge is in need of major repairs, but if those repairs cannot be completed, sealer will serve as a “very minor Band-Aid,” says Milot.

• East Allen Township has been put under quarantine by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture due to the invasive spotted lantern fly species. This species, from Asia, feeds off live trees and plants. It can nest its eggs anywhere, such as in wood and brush piles. Removing such plants, wood, and brush from the township may result in the lantern fly spreading to other regions of the state.
