Horner’s Cemetery Historical Society celebrates 293rd Anniversary of Craig’s Scotch-Irish Settlement

By KERI LINDENMUTH On Saturday, October 2, the Horner’s Cemetery Historical Society celebrated the 293rd Anniversary of Craig’s Scotch-Irish Settlement with guided tours, reenactments, and the opportunity for visitors to meet with other local historical experts.

In 1728, sixteen families of Scotch-Irish heritage, led by the Craig family, settled in Northampton County near what is today Bath Borough. This settlement was one of the earliest in the Lehigh Valley, even older than the Moravians in Nazareth. By 1731, Horner’s Church was built and by 1745, Horner’s Cemetery was established. The settlers faced many of the threats common on the Pennsylvania frontier in the 18th century, including disease and fighting with local Native American tribes.

These “founding families,” as the historical society calls them, are buried in Horner’s Cemetery.

Peggy Moser, founder and president of the historical society, told their tales during several guided tours throughout the day.

Those resting in the cemetery include 21 veterans of the French

& Indian War, the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. Others include a delegate to the Constitutional Convention and an ancestor of President Truman. Perhaps the most famous individual is Jane Horner, Continued on page 5

Bath Borough 2022 budget Includes fire tax increase

In my years writing columns, I have found many interesting stories in my own neighborhood.

For example, I wrote a series on two World War II veterans, one who was a German prisoner of war and another was a soldier who helped liberate a prison camp and saw the results of the Holocaust.

My neighbor Mrs. Catherine Csencsitz shared some interesting memories of her parents during World War II. They resided in the

coal community of Nanticoke, Pa. A number of family members worked in the anthracite mining industry.

A few years ago, we drove through Nanticoke and, as usual, spoke to a number of residents at a local restaurant. Today, the city has a population of 10,465.

The city peaked in population at 27,000 when coal collieries dotted the area. Many of her famContinued on page 2

By KERI LINDENMUTH During the Borough of Bath Council meeting on Monday, October 4, Borough Manager Brad Flynn introduced council to the proposed 2022 budget. The budget includes a fire tax increase of .25 mils, the first increase since 2016, bringing the total fire tax up to .5 mils. No other tax increases are anticipated The .5 mils would translate into a 1.7% property tax increase, which is about $5 per resident. It would net $27,565.05 for the borough’s volunteer fire department.

“Our fire company here has struggled for years,” said Flynn.

2020 and 2021 were particularly difficult because in-person fundraising operations had to be suspended.

“We are lucky that our department is volunteer,” said Mayor

Fiorella Mirabito. Under the law, every municipality must provide fire services for its residents. Some municipalities without volunteers must pay for these services. “I am incredibly grateful for our volunteers here.”

This tax increase marks only the second tax increase for residents since 2012.

Also outlined in the 2022 budget are revenue and expenditure projections. Revenue is expected to increase by $321,349. However, expenditures are also expected to increase by $281,736. This increase is attributed to the hiring of more personnel, including full-time public works personnel.

Council unanimously approved the budget for advertisement.

In other news, council approved a stay on parking enforcement for several homes on Old

Forge Drive. Residents of 418 to 432 Old Forge Drive will not be ticketed for vehicles blocking the sidewalk until the engineer can look at their current parking situation.

Last month, residents came to council because their driveways were too short, leading to parked cars blocking parts of the sidewalk.

The engineer will most likely not review this situation until 2022. Council stressed that this

Both grandfathers of Catherine were employed in the mining industry. Her maternal grandfather, John Wadzinski, as a young man worked for Glen Alden Coal. After a period of time, he was promoted to fire boss. His responsibilities were to check on miners and laborers so the company knew how many miners were in the mine and in what section they were working.

After a few years in the mines, John decided to open a tavern in Nanticoke. Called the White Owl Cafe, it was a gathering spot for many thirsty miners.

The business was very successful.

John’s father, George Wadzinski, a Pennsylvania Railroad employee, died in an accident, leaving a wife and eight children.

Son Frank had a very interesting career. An outstanding student at Nanticoke High School, he graduated from Temple University with a degree in pharmacy in 1932 during the Great Depression. He would serve his community for 52 years in his Walnut Street pharmacy.

Catherine’s paternal grandfather, Michael Swiderski, was

born in Poznan, Poland. Michael and fellow immigrants came to America in search of opportunity and employment. Large numbers settled in Nanticoke and the hard coal regions of Pennsylvania.

More than 300 coal breakers processed coal around the clock, producing millions of tons of coal.

Early conditions were harsh, dating back to the “Molly Maguires,” who used violence to improve conditions. Some miners organized unions, the most famous of which was the United Mine Workers of America, headed by John L. Lewis. Mr. Swiderski joined the UMWA and was active in union affairs, legally bargaining for fair wages and safe working conditions.

Cathy’s father, John, left Nanticoke High School to join the workforce and eventually became a bus driver for Nanticoke Transportation. The United States was on the brink of war in 1940, so the young man from Nanticoke stepped forward and enlisted in the U.S. Army in October 1940.

Inducted at Wilkes-Barre, he received basic training at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

One cold morning, he boarded a troop ship for a long, rough voyage. He wondered, “Where are we going?” When he entered the port, he wondered, “Where are we? Oh, my, this is Iceland, in the North Atlantic. Why are we here?”

John was surprised the island was not a total iceberg. It actually was relatively warm in the winter.

“The capital was Reykjavik. We couldn’t spell it.”

His 5th Army engineering unit was there to construct and maintain facilities for supply and troop support for the war in Europe.

There were already thousands of British troops on the island.

They feared Germany would seize the country for a submarine base against England.

This island once was under the control of Denmark. Iceland would play an important role in World War II. In two weeks: Getting ready for D-Day.

By KERI LINDENMUTH During their meeting on Tuesday, September 28, the Allen Township Board of Supervisors accepted the deeds of dedication for two roads in the North Hills housing development. Earlier in the year, residents of the development came to supervisors to complain of rough roads and sewer grates clogged with weeds.

The roads in question were Eisenhower Drive and 32nd Street.

Since that meeting, the developer has finished the construction of the roads by adding a final wear course and even cleaning out the grates. Supervisors were impressed with the improvements.

“It was very nicely done,” said Supervisor Gary Behler. All supervisors had independently visited the site and agreed with Behler’s opinion. The township engineer and public works department also inspected the roads. Neither had any objection to accepting them.

Accepting the deed of dedication for portions of both roads was unanimously approved by supervisors.

Supervisors also unanimously approved an extension on the completion of another township subdivision. They extended the completion of the High Meadow subdivision due to the township’s sewer moratorium and a lack of available EDUs. There has been a moratorium on EDU hookups since the township’s contract with Northampton Borough expired in 2016.

While the conversation with Northampton Borough’s water and sewer authority is moving along, no resolution has been announced yet. Developers of High Meadows will have four years from the date that public sewer is available for purchase to complete construction.

Finally, supervisors approved repairs to a public works 2008 Mack 10-wheeler. The truck, which has 40,000 miles on it, is out of inspection and in need

of repairs that could cost at least $25,000.

Tom Gogle, public works crew leader, said the township needs the truck back on the road. It has been with the repair shop all summer.

“It comes down to having reliable equipment for what we need to do this winter,” he told supervisors. In addition to township roads, the public works team also helps plow state highways in the township.

“If we do not get it repaired, it does not do anyone any good,” said Supervisor Dale Hassler. He added that current shortages are making new vehicles hard to find.

While supervisors approved the Mack truck repairs, they asked Gogle to prepare and present a 5-year vehicle plan for repairing and replacing public works’ current fleet.

The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 12 at 7 p.m. at the Allen Township Fire Company building. A 2022 budget workshop will be held on Tuesday, October 19 at 6 p.m.

Bath Borough Continued from page 1

stay does not mean that people in other areas of the borough who are illegally parked will not be ticketed.

Also discussed was the possibility of moving the time and location of the Bath Farmers’ Market. Councilwoman Carol Bear-Heckman said vendors and organizers are considering moving the market to Saturday or Sunday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon. Weekends tend to be busier and will allow shoppers to explore other markets in the area.

The market will also be scaled back. There will no longer be food trucks, music, children’s activities, or cooking demonstrations.

Due to this smaller scale, BearHeckman asked whether council would allow the market to move to Monocacy Creek Park.

This park is more central to the borough, she said, and easier for drivers to spot. Drivers on Route 329 move too fast to notice the market in Keystone Park. She added that the brick walkways will be easier for vendors and shoppers, as opposed to the uneven grounds of Keystone.

“We have struggled for 14 years to grow,” Bear-Heckman said.

While many on council agreed with moving the day, they did not agree with moving the location.

Mayor Mirabito worried about safety, with individuals walking to the market having to cross the intersection of Main Street and 512.

“I think it would be beneficial if you moved it to Ciff Cowling,” she said. “There is access from 512, you don’t have the danger you have from that intersection…there is much more parking…and maybe it will grow.”

Councilwoman Phyllis Andrews agreed, adding that there are too many liabilities.

Council failed to approve the motion to move the farmers’ market.

Finally, borough management is considering the purchase of OpenGov, web-based software that will aid the administration team with rental inspection, permitting, and code enforcement.

This software will not only run reporting and help staff keep up with permitting, but it will also allow residents to file complaints, register rental properties, submit for permits, and monitor permit statuses. Meanwhile, staff will get notifications on when inspections are due and will be able to leave comments for permit applicants.

This application will greatly improve efficiency and transparency, said Flynn. “[Citizens] know where [they] are in the [permit] process.”

The cost of the software will be $38,000 for the first year because data must be migrated and modules must be built out. Then,

the application will cost $15,000 per year. However, Flynn says this will be more affordable than paying for additional personnel. The borough would use “Build Back Better” funding to pay for this

application.

The goal would be to have the system up and running by January, in time for the rental inspection ordinance. A kiosk will be available in the borough office for

McGonigle the night prior.

McGonigle’s passing leaves a vacancy on the board, which the township aims to fill for the remainder of the current term.

Old business to be revisited included the ongoing work on the Cherryville intersection of Blue Mountain Drive and Route 248. The project continues to proceed as planned, with striping at the intersection now completed. Miller said that the board “should be ready to release final payments” for the project at the next meeting.

The board also addressed the costs of a proposed maintenance building, estimating necessary expenses at approximately $4 million. As a result of budgetary constraints, the supervisors rejected the bid for the project, agreeing to revisit it at a later time.

Other items on the evening’s agenda included the extension of planning items, the need for the township to hire a new public works employee, and public concern over the state of the flag displayed outside the Township Municipal Building. The board discussed proper replacement and disposal of the old flag.

The next meeting of the Board of Supervisors will be held on Tuesday, October 12 at 7 p.m. in the Township Municipal building. Any interested candidates for the newly vacant Supervisor position for the remainder of the term should send resumes or letters of interest to the Lehigh Township Municipal Building by October 15. Additional information is available on the Township website.

Freeman bill would Establish tutoring program In all Pa. public schools Submitted by TOM ANDREWS In an effort to improve academic performance in Pennsylvania’s public schools, state Rep. Robert Freeman is introducing legislation that would provide students in 11th and 12th grade with academic credit for tutoring elementary school-aged children.

“Tutoring is a time-honored and cost-effective way to enhance academic performance for the student being tutored and the student who serves as a tutor,” said Freeman, DNorthampton.

“The benefits of high school students tutoring elementary students is abundant. Tutoring can increase good study habits, improve academic performance, boost self-esteem and put students in charge of their own learning process as they pass that knowledge onto younger students. The students

being tutored would get the extra attention they need to improve their academic performance and younger students are typically more receptive to learning from a high school student who would serve as a mentor,” he said.

Freeman said his legislation (H.B. 1933) would require the state Board of Education to establish a tutoring program, which would provide academic credit to students in 11th and 12th grades for tutoring pupils in grades one to six.

School districts would be able to implement the program at little or no cost to taxpayers and it would foster a sense of community and pride in students, according to Freeman.

House Bill 1933 was referred to the House Education Committee for consideration.

NAZARETH AREA Nazareth School Board hears parents’ Concerns about mandates, masks

By JOE KORBA The September 28 meeting of the Nazareth School Board opened with a warning about proper mask wearing for the people in attendance by Board President Dr. Linda Stubits. She also outlined a policy that if any board member feels that attendees aren’t following appropriate guidelines for behavior during public comment they could make a motion to immediately adjourn the meeting.

After a roll call and an approval of minutes from prior meetings, some residents expressed concern about the resignation of solicitor Gary Brienza and questioned if it was appropriate to continue the meeting with an acting solicitor from the law firm of Sweet,

Stevens, Katz and Williams who hasn’t been officially appointed by the board or advertised in the paper.

The Superintendent, Dr. Dennis Riker, clarified that the firm was often used by the district for special and acting legal counsel.

Riker said the position would be advertised tomorrow and encouraged any legal counsel or firm to apply.

As has become routine at school board meetings throughout the country, many parents and grandparents spoke out about masks and vaccine mandates during the Community Corner portion of the meeting agenda. Alison Warner, Nazareth resident, said she sent emails asking for the voting records of board members and

demanding great data transparency when it comes to Covid-19 cases in the schools. Warner explained that they don’t want any identifying information about the students, but would like to know their vaccination status and if they contracted the virus while wearing a mask.

James Cunningham, a regular at the Nazareth Board meetings, asked the board to put compulsory recitations of the Pledge of Allegiance on their agenda. He asked them to make a motion to require it in all the schools in the district every morning.

“I think this is step one to show our children what our country is all about,” Cunningham said.

Another parent, Nick Caruso, said that he knows there are no

easy answers right now regarding health safety measures.

“The narrative says we only have two choices, but this dualistic thinking is not mature thinking. You can choose to oppress, segregate and discriminate, but we will keep showing up,” he said.

After more comments about the dangers of a vaccine mandate for children, which has not been announced, some of the other parents expressed support for mask wearing.

“It is sad that wearing a mask has been made a political statement when it should be a civic duty,” one supporter said.

The next Nazareth School Board meeting will be on October 12 at 7 p.m.

Nazareth Borough Council Passes Ordinance Amendment

By CHRISTINA SANTO Nazareth Borough Council met on Monday, October 4 to vote on an amendment to the borough’s parking ordinances and discuss upcoming events and improvements.

One resident and her family members were present at the meeting to speak against the ordinance amendment on the meeting agenda.

The family has two trailers in addition to their cars, but they do not have a driveway; the trailers are used for their landscaping business. Further, they cannot afford the price of the tickets day after day. Council brought up two potential solutions for them: parking the trailers in a public parking lot or acquiring a business location where they can freely park their trailers.

Councilman Christopher Crook said that many borough residents brought the issue up due to safety concerns, rather than aesthetics; also, there are other places in the borough where this problem is evident.

Despite the resident’s concerns, all council members present voted in favor of the parking ordinance amendment. Chapter 15, Section 412 originally stated that no person shall park an oversized vehicle, excluding busses, on any borough street; an oversized vehicle measures seven feet in width or 10 feet in height. This ordinance now prohibits the parking of unattached trailers as well.

In other business, council discussed upcoming events and improvements.

The Halloween parade will take place at 1 p.m. on Saturday, October 16, and the Chamber of Commerce’s Fall Festival will follow between 2 and 6 p.m. Action Karate received approval to hold a Trunk or Treat event in the Nazareth Park on Saturday, October 30 between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Finally, Sunday, October 31 will see Cars and Coffee with the police force in the morning and Trick-or-Treat in the evening.

Council also approved various events for November and December, including a Pumpkin Pie 5K and Christmas in Nazareth.

As for improvements, council chambers will have new doors installed at the main entrance.

The project will cost around $15,000, and includes the reContinued on page 11

moval of the current doors, installation of weather stripping, bottom sweeps, a key fob entry system, and an enrollment station. The borough’s property on Roth Street will also be receiving a split rail fence for $16,879.
