By HOME NEWS STAFF

On Saturday, September 30 just after 11:30 a.m., the Northampton Borough Police Department was dispatched to the 300 block of East Ninth Street in the Northampton Borough for the report of gunshots in the residence. Upon arrival, a 53-year-old male was deceased from a gunshot wound and a 51-year-old female was injured from a gunshot wound.

The female, a Northampton Borough resident, was transported from the scene by Northampton Regional EMS

to Lehigh Valley Hospital –Muhlenberg. She is currently in a stable condition and cooperating with the investigation.

The male, Burt Schutt, was pronounced deceased by the Northampton County Coroner’s Office at 12:52 p.m. on September 30.

During the investigation, it has been determined that Schutt and the woman were previously in a romantic relationship. A Smith and Wesson M&P 380 was found at the scene and utilized in this incident.

This case remains under in-

vestigation and is being investigated as an attempted homicide and suicide.

The Troop M Major Case Team is the lead investigator in this case. Assisting in this investigation are: Troop M Forensic Services Unit (F.S.U.), Troop M Collision Analysis Reconstruction Specialist Unit (C.A.R.S.), Northampton County Coroner's Office, Northampton Regional EMS, Northampton Borough Police Department, North Catasauqua Borough Police Department and Coplay Police Department.

Lehigh Township Supervisors talk taxes

By LAURA KLOTZ

The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors met on Tuesday, September 26 at 6 p.m. to continue their budget discussion.

The meeting began with Township Manager Alice Rehrig reviewing her notes on the budget from the previous meeting for chairman Michael Jones, as he had been absent, before going on to talk about other changes and additions which have been made. She hopes to have up-

dated numbers for the insurance figures by the next meeting. There was a slight increase to revenue from real estate from the previous year, but tax collections came in at just 92% which is a drop from the last few years; she admitted to being unsure why that was the case. It was pointed out that the fire tax details must be arranged by the beginning of December at the absolute latest.

Following a lengthy discussion on the subject, during which it

was asked why there has been so little information made public, the board explained they have been waiting to share the details until they are complete. Rehrig and Fire Commissioner Richard Hildebrand will compare calendars and find a suitable date for the board members to sit down with members of the fire company. They will need to finetune specifics such as what residents will pay and how the money may be used. Once all the details are confirmed, the tax will be advertised to the public at large. Hildebrand believes their goals can be accomplished fairly quickly.

Continuing to review the budget, Rehrig mentioned that she has edited numbers to include requests which Police Chief Scott Fogel made at the previous meeting. There was also a brief conversation about the public works summer help; Frank Zamadics informed the board that this year’s summer workers were the best he has ever had and he hopes to bring them back next year. Among other things, they were so careful with the use of township equipment that the cost of mower repairs is down significantly from last year. The recreation board is continuing to save money for roofing projects at the parks, and will be completing the recreation plan in order to apply for grants. Rehrig was also able to put extra money into the contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

Jones noted that a resident of Brighton Circle has been calling him in regards to a misspelled street sign. The budget for signs has been increased to $10,000, so hopefully that can be rectified soon. The expected income from the state for 2024 should be equal to or possibly slightly more than what was received in 2023.

Operating expenses are being met without difficulty, though Rehrig warned the board that the township does need to be careful with regard to capital costs. In response to an audience inquiry, it was explained that the building fund, contingency fund and equipment fund are all kept in separate capital funds earmarked for specific purposes, rather than being part of the general budget. The budget discussion was then tabled until the next meeting.

Elizabeth Amato of the zoning board presented their August report, stating that 24 new permits had been received; 31 permits, including some which carried over from July, had been issued. The medical marijuana dispensary was denied as previously reported. Board member David Hess informed Amato that the property on Wood Drive, which had been an ongoing issue for the zoning board, has been sold at sheriff’s sale and the tenant should be moving out very soon, so they are unlikely to have any further difficulties with the individual.

The board approved a payment request from Bracy Construction for their work on the maintenance building. All of the work has been inspected and approved. An ordinance amendment concerning cluster developments, allowing higher density population in certain residential areas, was reviewed by both the township planning commission and the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission and was advertised accordingly; the board voted to adopt it. They also voted to adopt a change to the ordinance concerning wholesale and wholesale trades, to clean up the language and make it consistent.

Rehrig presented the board

with the annual pension numbers - $267,754 for uniformed (police) employees and $48,064 for non-uniformed. Hess informed everyone that he was contacted by a construction manager for BVCI, which is performing work on the turnpike, with a donation of telephone poles for Lehigh Township. These poles include LED lights and can be used at the township parks; they are being given at no charge, with the only cost being that of sending public works crew members to collect the donation. The board accepted the offer.

Rehrig presented the board with two resolutions for adoption, which would be necessary for her to continue applying for grants from the gaming commissions of Lehigh, Northampton and Monroe counties. The grants, if given, will pay for updating township office computers and the computers in the police station and cars. These were approved unanimously, as was the annual plan to provide holiday turkeys as appreciation gifts to township employees and subcommittee board members. Rehrig has bids out for the township’s fuel island and has received inquiries from three companies thus far; she expects to have actual bid numbers by the next meeting.

On a final note, the fire company is once again selling tickets for their annual sportsman's raffle. The 2024 raffle includes $50,000 worth of prizes, and tickets can be purchased from any fire company member. Tickets are $20 each or three for $50. The drawing will take place on March 23 of next year; doors to the fire hall will open at 3:30 p.m. and the event will run until the final drawing at 10 p.m. With public comments concluded, the board members went into an executive session to discuss personnel matters.

The next meeting of the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors is scheduled for Tuesday, October 10 at 7 p.m. in the municipal building, located at 1069 Municipal Rd., Walnutport.

John “Big John” Fiedor

John “Big John” Fiedor, 93, formerly of Bath, Pa., passed away peacefully on Oct. 1,2023, at Phoebe Home in Allentown, Pa. Big John was born June 19, 1930, at home on the farm in Upper Nazareth Township, to the late John W. and Rose (Lucas) Fiedor. John was the loving husband of 46 years to Helen (Steurer) Fiedor. He was a faithful and active member of Sacred Heart Church in Bath. Prior to John's retirement after 16 years at FXI Bath Pa., he was a truck driver for 21 years at Modern Transfer of Allentown. Following his retirement, John found great enjoyment at the former Straw-

berry Acres in Egypt, by driving all the visitors out to the orchard to pick apples on the tractor. Big John volunteered for Meals on Wheels for 15 years. He was also a Teamsters member Local # 773. Besides his loving wife Helen, John will be dearly missed by his brother, Larry Fiedor of Nazareth, sister, Dianne James, and husband David, of Port Richey, Florida, two nephews and two nieces, and three great nephews. John was predeceased by a sister, Helen Stannard and brother, Raymond Fiedor, great nephew Matthew. In keeping with John’s wishes, services and burial will be private.

John A. “Jim”

George

John A. “Jim” George, 95, of Danielsville, passed away peacefully at home, while surrounded by loving family, on Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2023. Born in Fullerton, Whitehall Township, he was the only child of the late John I. and Verna S. (Derhammer) George. Jim was the beloved husband of the late Claire G. (Kepp) George to whom he was married 66 years prior to her passing in 2022. A 1946 graduate of Liberty High School, he later honorably served in the United States Army during the Korean War. Jim was a fitter at Bethlehem Contracting Co. until retiring in 1993. He was previously employed for many years at the former General Welding, a tank manufacturer which was in Bethlehem. A sportsman at heart, Jim loved to play softball, and he was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was also an active member of Faith Independent Church of Christ, Walnutport.

Survivors: Jim will be lovingly remembered and dearly missed by his children, Jacqueline Altemose and husband, Raymond, of Moore Township, Allen George and wife, Jennifer, of Bath, and

Darryl Silfies of Germansville; and four grandchildren, Cassandra, Autumn, Luke and Mitchel. Services: A viewing for friends and relatives was held on Sunday evening, Oct. 1, 2023, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the George G. Bensing Funeral Home, LLC, 2165 Community Dr., Route 946, in the Village of Moorestown – Bath, PA 18014. Burial

was held privately with the family in New Hope Cemetery at Little Moore, Danielsville.

Contributions: In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be offered to Shriners Hospital for Children – Philadelphia, 3551 N. Broad St., Philadelphia, PA 19140.

The doctor knew some members of the NBC String Quartet. Nationally known, they played concerts on Sunday mornings on NBC radio.

The first violinist was Daniel Guilet. Born in France, he was a master violinist. Carlton Cooley played the viola. He formerly played for the Cleveland Orchestra. Second violin was Bernard Robbins, and Benar Heifetz, cellist, was formerly with the Philadelphia Orchestra.

Mr. Scott Haff, great-grandson of the late Dr. Charles Haff, gave Mr. Oberly the music that was played at that memorable concert. The music included great classics by Beethoven, Mozart and Schubert- the best of classical music. They were assisted by composer and cellist Alan Shul-

man. Seventy-five guests enjoyed the wonderful concert.

Dr. Haff and his father were both excellent violinists.

This writer lived two blocks from the hospital but never was in the family home on East 21st Street.

In researching the Haff family, this writer and Larry Oberly were surprised that Margie, Larry’s wife, was a classmate of Andrea Haff, one of Dr. Haff’s daughters. They were students at the Wolf building, now the Col. John Siegfried Elementary School.

She relates, “We were in a class play, and I was invited to the home for practice. When I walked through the door, there was a beautiful stairway, exquisite molding and a complete library. A memory that stays with you for a lifetime.”

This writer remembers Theodora, Dr. Haff’s other daughter. She was a student and graduate of Northampton High School. Her future husband was Gary Kellner, who was outstanding in football and track. He is a member of the Northampton High School Sports Hall of Fame. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Gary played wide receiver. The quarterback was Roger Staubach. Commander Kellner served the nation as a skilled fighter pilot. We will be closing the landmark hospital in two weeks.

Natural Perspectives For the healthMinded individual

Mindful of Life

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

If I was to ask you the color of the leaves outside, what would you say? Clearly an acceptable answer is the color green, and you would be correct. That’s what I would say for sure, and I would move along to other

matters that beckon for real attention. In fact, I would be adamant in my answer as clearly green is the answer. To me this is not just for debate except for perhaps the fall, when leaves change. Could there be a misconception on my part when I truly take a moment to ponder?

Now go ahead and ask the same question to an artist, or better yet, an oil painter. Would they simply answer green? From their intentional observation and perspective, simply accepting green as the color perhaps demonstrates to them my ignorance of the beauty that exists all along the green spectrum.

Just this weekend I went out

Northern R&S

to look at this color green we are talking about, and I will share that each tree and plant, while having an inherent green, had a unique version of green among each species I examined. It was like I was seeing green in all its many variations for the first time once again.

What this discussion is alluding to, with the color as the example, can in fact be any area of our lives where we do not, have not, no longer see, or better said, are not mindful of, some aspect of everyday life. Now perhaps I am speaking to myself here, in that eyes wide-open is a much better way than to be a walking zombie.

As another example, pick up your own hand and look at it. You have looked at your hand thousands of times, agreed? Now go ahead and find three things about your hand that

you have not realized before. I know you can easily find three because I did it myself. When you take your mind off auto pilot and intentionally take stock of the world around you, everything changes. Clearly when we dig into this, we

have an understanding that it may not be the world that changed magically-it’s us who are once again seeing the old

Allen Township Supervisors approve Stone Ridge Major Subdivision Plan

By KERI LINDENMUTH

During their Tuesday, September 26 meeting, Allen Township Supervisors approved the Stone Ridge Major Subdivision Plan’s lot consolidation and waiver requests. This approval did not include the proposed Wawa at the intersection of Route 329 and

Savage Road or the other commercial properties in the area.

(The Wawa plan is contingent on this subdivision and will be discussed at an upcoming October meeting.) As part of their approval, supervisors voted to require sidewalks on the west side of Savage Road and traffic met-

rics on Savage and Atlas roads. Supervisors have expressed fears that traffic from the proposed Wawa will travel south on Savage Road, turn left onto Atlas Road, and attempt to turn left onto Weaversville Road to return to Route 329. Engineers for the development have countered this, saying studies indicate a majority of the Wawa traffic will remain on Savage Road due to the number of residential properties south of the convenience store.

“I’m using a common sense approach…I’ve lived here,” said Supervisor Dale Hassler. “I see the way the cars go,” he continued, indicating that most traffic will be traveling east or west from Route 329.

Joseph Zator, legal counsel for the project, said the property’s developer has committed to addressing safety concerns on Atlas Road as a good-faith offer. However, doing so immediately would be “speculative.” Instead, supervisors and the developer agreed to study the total number of cars using Atlas Road in the nine months following the convenience store’s opening. Within a year, supervisors can decide whether or not the developer should pay for a cul-de-sac or dead-end at Atlas and Weaversville roads. Funding will be added to security.

But Zator warned that no metric will prevent them from eliminating the property’s exit onto Savage Road.

“There’s a right to connect to Savage,” he said. “There is no metric that we could live with to limit the access to Savage.”

Township Solicitor Lincoln Treadwell echoed this sentiment, warning supervisors that attempting to block access to Savage would not win in court.

“I need an expert to say that [it is a safety issue],” he said. “And right now, your traffic engineer is saying something different.”

Supervisor Gary Behler said he does not see “a legitimate safety reason why the access road [from Wawa onto Savage Road] should not be there.” He said he worries eliminating it will push traffic up to Stonegate Drive and Route 329 and east to the intersection at Route 329 and Savage Road, which accident reports have shown as the most dangerous intersection in the township.

Sidewalks leading to the Wawa development were also a major discussion point. Plans showed sidewalks on the western side of Savage Road. However, because sidewalks are a homeowner’s responsibility, homeowners with properties backing up to Savage Road would be responsible for maintaining these sidewalks. Supervisors said this was unfair.

“It is unfair for us to mandate this to people 12 or 10 years after they bought a home,” said Hassler. “All of a sudden you have to maintain sidewalks behind your

property.”

Hassler added he did not think it would be fair to have the township’s public works team (and taxpayer dollars) maintain the sidewalks for a corporation.

Supervisors discussed waiving the sidewalks, but worried this would create safety concerns for pedestrian traffic coming to Wawa from Howertown Park.

Supervisors ultimately decided to extend and wrap a portion of the township-owned sidewalk on John Drive up the west side of Savage Road. Public works would maintain this sidewalk to limit the burden on residents. Developers did say they may have to narrow Savage Road to 11-foot lanes and 3-foot shoulders to accommodate the sidewalks without impacting a stormwater swale. But engineers said this may have a positive effect in slowing traffic.

With these measures in place, supervisors ultimately voted to approve the plan. Only Hassler

voted no. The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be on Tuesday,

Therefore, the library is committed to collecting, protecting and making accessible banned, challenged and endangered books to anyone and everyone who is interested in the information and experiences they contain.

Mindful of Life

Continued from page 5

The next Nazareth Borough Council meeting will be held on Monday, November 6 at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers. through new eyes, if you will.

I’ve hit a stride where I have this zeal for what’s real. Life is too short to have it any other way. That said, I am seeking mindfulness of all I can while my limited days here on Earth are still before me.

Perhaps this mindfulness about being mindful has to do with age. Maybe it's having been through much of life, experiencing both joy and sadness alike, that has changed me little by little to the person I now see in the mirror and feel in my heart. It could also be because my wife of 30 plus years reminds me to pay attention.

If you get what I am laying down here, then it’s not too farfetched to say that what I once thought was important, kind of wasn’t looking back. You probably laugh at what you thought was important and now know it was a mere stepping stone to what’s front and center. But there is more.

To be mindful is to be deeply rooted in the desire to develop personally. If you could care less about it all, then truth be told, green will only be and stay one color. If you’re mindlessly going through the day just to get back to the couch, then who really cares?

Desiring a life full of meaning tends to have the concept of mindfulness inherent to it. Would you agree? It makes sense to me. To be a little more mindful doesn’t mean to stress out about everything you could be missing. No, far from it. Simply do your best to lean

into life and when you do you will see much more than you currently are as your eyes, heart and spirit will all be mindful of the world around you. It’s worth the discovery. My best to you.
