Submitted by DICK GABLE The Moore Township Historical Commission has been busy with the restoration of the Edelman One Room Schoolhouse on Longley Drive. We have received our new sashes and have had the windows installed. The sashes have been painted and are ready for the frames to be made and installed. We made a decision in September to install a new roof

on the school which would have replaced the over 100 year old slates with asphalt shingles due to the cost of a new slate roof. We had a fantastic call in mid- September from a local slate roof consultant by the name of Chad Brandon. We met with him and to our amazement he agreed to generously install a new slate roof Continued on page 2

In this concluding column we look back at the impact the Walking Purchase had on Colonial Pennsylvania. The new boundaries set by the walk were very beneficial to John and Thomas Penn but a disaster for the Lenni Lenape tribe.

The Lenape were furious and did not want to move from their villages and hunting grounds.

They would rapidly be surrounded by new settlers who wanted to farm the land.

Their pent up frustration exploded with the advent of the French and Indian War, a conflict between the English and French for control of Colonial America.

Both countries attempted to enlist the tribes as allies and their struggle with the promise of restoring to them the land lost by the Walking Purchase. All through the summer and early fall of 1755 there were increasing indications of Indian dissatisfaction. On the evening of Nov. 24, 1755, hostilities flared up. An Indian attack took place where it was least expected, the Moravian Settlement at Gnaden-Huetten (Tents of Grace) near the present site of Weissport. The settlement was settled by both Moravians and Indians who were converted to the Moravian faith. Eleven people were killed in the attack.

The attack shocked and alarmed the early settlers. Settlers from throughout the area fled to Bethlehem for safety. Residents of the Craig-Irish settlement, which is present day Weaversville, also left their homes for safety.

Militia units filled with volunteers were organized to protect the settlers. The man in charge of the colonial militia was Benjamin Franklin. He came to the area and rallied the residents to organize local militia units and construct a system of fronts to protect the frightened residents.

Two attacks occurred in present day Allen Township. One was the attack on the home of John Stemton. There Stemton and a number of militia men were killed. His wife and two children were able to escape. Another was the death of Jane Horner who was tomahawked while going to a neighbor to borrow fire as her home fire had gone out during the night. Her memory has been preserved at the Jane Horner Cemetery in East Allen Township. Two Irish settlement settlers Captain John Hays and Captain Craig led a regiment of men from the Irish settlement patrolling the woods to protect their neighbors from attack.

Two forts familiar to some of our local residents were Fort Ralston, built in 1757 on the farm of James Ralston. Another was the Wilson Block House which is the present symbol of the borough of Northampton.

By 1758 the power of England ended the French challenge in North America. The French and Indian War was over. On the horizon was another struggle which would face Colonial America, the Revolutionary War! See you in two weeks when we visit the greatest show on earth.

Schoolhouse roof Continued from page 1

on the school at no charge to the township or the commission. We agreed to remove the old slate roof and install new boards and underlayment on the school. So, on Sept. 26 a crew of 16 fantastic volunteers met at the school and started removal of the existing roof. To be able to have a slate

roof on this historic building is fantastic to say the least. The crew started around 7:45 a.m. and by noon had one side removed and had installed the new boards and underlayment. They worked until around 6 p.m. to finish the other side. Now we are ready for slates, which should happen in about three weeks. As some of you know, the Edelman One Room Schoolhouse is the last remaining school that has not been converted to something else. The school has been approved and accepted

by the National Registry of Historic Places in Washington D.C. So far we have repaired some of the brick work on the side of the building. We have also scraped the old paint off the walls and the ceiling. We have had the inside of the building plastered and primed and ready for paint. A lot of work has been completed but there is a lot of work still to be done. We are always looking for volunteers to help with the restoration. We want to thank all of the volunteers that helped with

the roof repairs for their hard work and generosity in taking time away from their families to help with our repairs.

When completed, we would like to open the school to the public for educational purposes.

Natural Perspectives For the healthMinded individual

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

Contradictions and Consequences As the self-proclaimed leader of my family, I feel emboldened to deliver philosophical texts to my family on a regular basis.

Candidly, I feel much, if not most, of the ‘wisdom’ I impart on this family group text thread goes largely unrecognized. At the very least, I stopped getting responses a long, long time ago….Nevertheless, I am diligent in sending texts on a routine basis. The world is a strange place and in a roundabout way, I feel these text communications are well placed, have meaning, and actually do teach my kids a little something each time. They will thank me later; I know it!

In the past several weeks I have been considering and con-

templating the incredible gift of life and how cool it is to be human, albeit challenging on several fronts. In going deep on this topic, I realized that I had just spent the better part of 20 minutes having a serious dialogue with myself. I laughed to think it’s probably only a matter of time before the conversation turns into out-loud talking with myself as I have heard my mother often do.

Oh, the tragedy of it all.

While I did not have an audible conversation, I will admit that I did let out a verbal wow when it struck me that it is just so important to be in a good relationship with myself as “we” have a lot of daily conversations. When I talk with myself no topic is taboo.

“We” discuss all topics from A to Z and, on rare occasion, I actually agree with myself! (Hope you’re finding the humor, yet truth in all of this.)

On this side of heaven relationships among human beings matter. I believe that first and foremost having a good, honestto-goodness relationship with yourself is paramount to being able to have good relationships with others. Truthfully, if you are upset with or dislike yourself then you truly go about your days irritated, annoyed, and projecting a bad attitude like a high beam headlight. What I have come to understand is that by and large, contradictions in your life usually drive self-deprecation, self-loathing, and the like. Even the smallest contradiction will affect you like a pebble in your shoe.

The text I sent to the family read, “Dad’s thought of the day: The greater the contradiction in yourself the bigger the Continued on page 5

BATH AREA Rental inspection paused for year, but Code enforcement in full effect

By KERI LINDENMUTH During the monthly Borough of Bath Council meeting on Monday, October 5, several residents asked for an update on the borough’s rental inspection ordinance. After going through committee and one round of council review, President Mark Saginario said work on the ordinance has been paused until 2021 due to COVID-19.

The borough, he said, has stopped all capital expenditures and nonessential legal costs to help preserve funds. The move is one the borough made early in the pandemic in preparation for a lower-than-average tax collection year. In fact, during the meeting, Manager Brad Flynn confirmed

that the current tax collection total is about $90,000 lower than what it was at this time last year.

Saginario said the ordinance is about three-fourths of the way done and will be ready for discussion early next year.

Residents brought to council complaints of overgrown grass, rodents, garbage, illegal parking, and more.

“It is getting to the point where I am fed up and want to move,” said one resident.

However, council stressed that residents do not need to wait for the rental inspection ordinance to voice their concerns. Issues like tall grass, illegal parking, and property neglect fall under the borough’s Quality of Life or-

dinance, which is enforced by a code officer.

Flynn encouraged residents to speak up and contact the borough’s code enforcer.

For code enforcement to work, “we need the support of the public,” he said. Residents need to be witnesses and need to give permission for code officers to enter their property.

----------------------We want folks to see something, say something.

Brad Flynn -----------------------

“[Allow] us to see and hear what [you are] seeing and hearing,” he added. “We want folks to see something, say something.”

The code enforcement officer patrols the borough randomly on weekdays and weekends. To make a report when he is not in the area, residents are encouraged to call or text 484-225-0728.

Residents can even send pictures to this number. In addition, residents can email bathpeco@boroughofbath.org.

Mayor Fiorella Mirabito stressed that residents who do receive tickets should not take matters into their own hands. Her warning follows a similar one made by Flynn last month after a resident physically assaulted the code enforcement officer.

“Please do not come to borough hall and scream, carry on, and curse at our employees,” she said. “I will not have these employees who go above and beyond be screamed at by people who are simply ignorant.”

She said residents who would like to perform work on their

consequences.” It was simple yet straight to the point. Would you believe I actually received responses to this one?

At the end of the day, you had better be in unison with yourself. If not, life is much, much harder to grind through and in addition, consequences will be reaped. While we won’t be going into contradictions this time round I really don’t think I need to. As soon as you read this article you already got to thinking about what you needed to clean up in your own life so that you could literally feel good about yourself.

This last statement really throws a wide net doesn’t it? Let’s leave it all here for now and in the meantime I encourage you to go stand in front of a mirror, look at yourself, and have a honest-togoodness, no-holds-barred conversation about what undeniably needs to be cleared up between the two of you! My best to you all.

Behind the Mask

By Charles McIlhaney Jr. Each one of us bares a face, which at first meeting, evokes innate regard from strangers, many times not justified. These days we wear masks that render the eye of the beholder as blind, and perhaps more able to judge each other with better vindication. And we may more readily detect a young woman’s spirit behind 90-year-old eyes; or sense a good soul behind a sorely disfigured visage; or not be as easily fooled by a pretty face.

What veiled personna may be perceived, What depth of soul defined, When without visual veneer deceived, Be a face of beauty or maligned.

NORTHAMPTON AREA Residents voice feral cat concerns at Northampton Borough Council meeting

By CHRISTINA SANTO The Northampton Borough Council met on Thursday, October 1 at 7:30 p.m. in the municipal building.

A few borough residents brought up concerns about feral

cats and black vultures near Hokendauqua and Northampton Avenues. These cats are being fed by someone in the neighborhood, so the cats will not leave the area; they are well-fed and are hard to catch.

Further, the feral cats are urinating and defecating in peoples’ yards and surrounding areas. One borough resident at the meeting stated she is unable to open her window due to the smell of cat urine and that the feces is affecting her small dog. Additionally, the woman who is feeding the cats has flushed the cat litter down the toilet, causing the system to back up for many people in the area.

Because these cats live mostly outside, they are preyed on by black vultures when they die.

The black vultures are perching on residents’ roofs; residents are concerned for their dogs as well.

Residents came to the borough council meeting because they are looking for a solution.

Many council members had stated they were aware of the feral cat issue, but did not realize cat litter was being flushed down the toilet. Councilwoman Judy Kutzler suggested the borough get animal control, code enforcement, and health and safety all involved and on the same page to resolve the issue.

Next, council discussed applying for a $1.2 million grant from PennDOT. The grant would be used to prepare an alternate route from 24th Street and Cherryville Road to Cement Haul Road, connecting to Route 329; this would keep trucks off of 21st and Main Streets. The proposed road would be 32 feet wide and 2,675 feet long to accommodate truck traffic in two directions. This entire plan, however, is contingent upon receiving the necessary land from Lafarge Cement.

After a lot of discussion about what the $1.2 million would be used for, the potential of Lafarge selling the land, and what would happen if the grant wasn’t fully funded, the motion was tabled so that council members could get more information on the plan and interactions with Lafarge.

However, a request for a review letter can still be put in with the Lehigh Valley Planning Com-

The Northampton Borough Council reviewed 3-year and 5-year bids for refuse collection and disposal from Waste Management, J. P. Mascaro & Sons, Advanced Disposals, and Raritan Valley Disposal. Information on these bids was passed along to solicitor Brian Panella for review; the bid will not be awarded until the October 15 council meeting.

Councilman Tony Pristash discussed some COVID-19 trickor-treating precautions. Those participating should not go in a large group, as well as wear a mask, maintain social distancing, and use hand sanitizer often.

Councilwoman Kutzer added that parents should disinfect candy wrappers once their children get home. Northampton Borough’s trick-or-treat night is on Saturday, October 31 between 6 and 8 p.m.; participating residents should make sure to turn their lights on.

The next Northampton Borough Council meeting will be on Thursday, October 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the municipal building.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month

When we think about protecting ourselves from cybercrime, we often stop at password protection and anti-virus software.

But in today’s day and age, being cyber safe extends beyond our computers and phones. Televisions, video games, doorbells, refrigerators and more can all be connected to the Internet. These are all ways that scammers can gain access to our personal data.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month and AARP is joining federal law enforcement and other partners to urge consumers to take cyber safety measures throughout their homes and businesses. Make sure all of your devices are secure and your private data are protected. You can find some great tips on securing your devices at staysafeonline. org. Think about it this way: if you can connect it, protect it.

Utility Scams Some scams never go away regardless of the season. Utility scams are a perfect example. If it’s hot or cold out, scammers will call, email and even knock at your door demanding immediate payment for overdue bills or they’ll shut off your service. When it’s storm season and the power goes out, these crooks show up offering to restore service for a payment.

Whatever the season, the goal of these crooks is the same – to create a sense of panic in their

targets in hopes they will act hastily and pay up. If you get a surprise visit or call from the “utility company,” ask questions like what your bill history is or what the individual’s employee ID number is, and then follow up to confirm before taking any action.

Be a fraud fighter. If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam.

Report scams to local law enforcement. For help from AARP, call 1-877-908-3360 or visit the AARP Fraud Watch Network at www.aarp.org/fraudwatchnetwork.

NAZARETH AREA Nazareth Borough Council addresses speeding concerns, Approves Christmas events NEW YEAR...

tions with Forest Drive and Main Street. This is especially concerning because there are a lot of children living in the neighborhood.

Another resident echoed this concern and stated that there are drivers rolling through or running the 4-way stop sign near High and Broad Streets.

The road is considered a state highway, so the borough cannot add or remove signage without PennDOT’s permissions; however, the police department can and will conduct traffic studies in the area to see what exactly is going on.

Dean Brodt, property manager of St. John’s Lutheran Church, addressed council about their decision to deny their request for two 15-minute parking spaces

on the south side of East Prospect Street. Brodt recognized the concerns of other residents about children’s safety that were voiced at the meeting; then, emphasized the sense of community in Nazareth and gave a list of events held at the church.

Councilman Carl R. Strye Jr., who voted in favor of the motion, stated that council had said they could take another look at the issue in a month or two and possibly change their decision.

Next, Lauren Bertucci from the Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce asked council for suggestions on how to keep the Tree Lighting Ceremony COVIDfriendly. Councilman Strye suggested moving the ceremony to the grassy field by council chambers; this space is a lot larger than the Center Square, where the event is usually held. Councilwoman Laureen Pellegrino suggested conducting the event in different shifts to keep the number of people down.

More ideas will be discussed at the Public Property Committee Meeting on Tuesday, October 27.

For now, council approved the Chamber’s request to hold the Tree Lighting ceremony on Friday, December 11 at 7 p.m. and Christmas in Nazareth on Saturday, December 12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

An Electronics Recycling Event will be held by Responsible Recycling Services on Tuesday, October 20 from 3 to 6 p.m. in the Borough Park. The event is for Nazareth Borough residents only.

Council also approved a motion to adopt new park rules prohibiting parking in the Borough Park from 10 p.m. to sunrise and in the satellite parks from sunset to sunrise.

The next Nazareth Borough Council meeting will be held on Monday, November 2 at 6 p.m. in the Borough Hall.

SHANNON KEITH State Rep. Robert Freeman announced today that $223,399 has been awarded to his district through the COVID-19 Cultural and Museum Preservation Grant Program for cultural organizations and museums to offset lost revenue caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted our cultural organizations and museums," Freeman said. "These grant dollars will aid in facilitating recovery efforts and operation efforts so that they can continue to be viable assets to our communities."

The grant awards are as follows: Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, $42,300.

Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society, $25,000.

State Theatre Center for the Arts, Inc, $156,099.

According to Freeman, funds may be used to offset lost revenue for eligible cultural organizations and museums that were subject to closure by the proclamation of disaster emergency issued by the governor on March 6 and any renewal of the state of disaster emergency, and that experienced a loss of revenue related to the closure.

Funds cannot be used to offset revenue, which has already been offset from other sources, including philanthropic and federal, state and local government sources.
