Historic Cemetery
Grave of Gen. Robert Brown.
By ED PANY I recently made my semi-annual visit to the historic Horner Cemetery in East Allen Township. The cemetery was part of the Scottish Irish Craig Settlement founded in 1728. The cemetery is the oldest cemetery in Northampton County. The first burial there was in 1747. Ten years ago my friend Peggy Moser organized a group of dedicated volunteers who cleaned and restored the cemetery. A 10th Anniversary program will be held there on Sept. 22 from 1 to 4 p.m. on the cemetery grounds. Their mission is to raise funds to place nameplates on unreadable tombstones. In this serene atmosphere rests men who fought in the American Revolutionary War. Walking through the cemetery one remembers the men and women who helped forge a new nation. Nineteen veterans of that war and two generals, Robert Brown and William Lattimer, are buried there, along with the early settlers of the Scottish Irish Settlement. The most prominent citizen buried there is General Robert Brown, the son of Samuel Brown, one of the first 13 people to settle there in 1728. Robert Brown was born on Christmas, Dec. 25,
1744. With the approach of war, Robert Brown and his neighbors joined the Northampton militia. The chaplain of the unit was Rev. John Rosbrugh, a Presbyterian minister. Their training was basic but with courage and determination they would engage the British Army on many Revolutionary battlefields. Brown would be promoted to Lieutenant and with his comrades fought bravely only to be captured in New York by the British at Fort Washington. They were imprisoned in an old church. Conditions were horrible, for the first few days they were given wormy crackers to eat. While in prison, Brown used his blacksmith skills and actually used what funds he had to buy food for the prisoners. Hundreds perished. Brown was later transferred and held on the British ship Judith. Eventually he was paroled pledging not to rejoin the militia. Brown returned to the militia and was promoted to General. During his service he met General George Washington and they became friends. The war was costly and many men were lost including Rev. Rosbrugh who was captured at the Battle of Trenton and executed. General Brown would be invited to Mt. Vernon where General Washington presented a gift of two chestnut trees; one was named “The Friendship Tree.” The majestic tree was damaged by lightning in 1921. Today it is a symbol on the East Allen Township flag. When General Brown returned home, he married and built a home in Allen Township. In 1842 a section of Allen Township was organized as East Allen Township. General Brown continued to serve our nation when Continued on page 2

Township manager Brent Green and members of the East Allen Youth Summer Camp present donations to the Lehigh Valley Zoo.
East Allen Township Youth Summer Camp raises Donations for zoo’s Otter exhibit by KERI LINDENMUTH A year after raising money to help the Lehigh Valley Zoo open its endangered giraffe and African exhibit, the children in the East Allen Township Youth Summer Camp once again raised money to help the local zoo build a home for two very playful North American otters. Thanks to the donations raised by the more than 150 children in the program, otters Naya and Luani will have a brand new home that closely resembles their natural river habitat. The new exhibit will have trees, logs, and water for the otters to play in. North American otters are becoming scarce due to hunting and pollution. They have nearly disappeared from the world’s
freshwater habitats. Exhibits like the one the children are helping fund are instrumental to ensuring the otter population does not go extinct. Nancy McCuller, Development Assistant for the zoo, could not thank the children enough. “We are so delighted,” she said. “[The] kids were instrumental in helping us put the exhibit in.” The two top donors were presented tickets to the zoo and stuffed otter toys. They made the lives of Naya and Luani better, McCuller said. This is the second year the summer camp, under program director Chuck Frantz, has raised money for the zoo. Overall, the Continued on page 5

suggestion of Board Chairman Daryl Snover, the September 11 Supervisors’ meeting opened with a discussion of the proposed maintenance building. The Board of Supervisors announced that they have received a state grant for one million dollars towards the building. The board acknowledged the hard work and contributions of Lehigh Township Manager Alice Rehrig and State Representative Zach Mako. Supervisor Cindy Miller also wanted to acknowledge Senator Mario Scavello for getting the grant written into a bill, which was a prerequisite for receiving the money. Miller said he started the process nearly two years ago. Supervisor Keith Hantz, who has worked closely with the building committee and public works employees, discussed what will be necessary to move the project forward. “The building committee thinks you should sit down as a board and come up with ‘board questions’ that we can answer moving forward,” he said. Supervisor Phil Gogel raised a concern about locking interest rates in while they are low while Miller suggested looking at financing options like bonds. Ultimately, the board agreed to sit down, come up with questions and expedite the process. In other business, Police Chief Scott Fogel said that the National Night Out, an event for the community to meet and interact with their police force, held on August 7 in Bryfogel Park was a successful event. He noted that they are planning on holding the event at Indian Trail Park next year. “It gets better every year,” Snover noted. Chief Fogel also cautioned residents to keep an eye out for school buses now that school is back in session. The next Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be September 25 at 7 p.m. in the municipal building .

he was elected as Northampton County’s first Pennsylvania Senator. This highly respected citizen and soldier died on February 26, 1823 and was buried in the Horner Cemetery. General Robert Brown is buried in a corner
of the cemetery under a simple stone. The service of General Brown and his fellow veterans have faded into history. Their everlasting monument is the nation they fought to create, the United States of America. I hope some of you will visit the cemetery and walk through a page of local history.

Allen Township Seeking additional Recreational land By KERI LINDENMUTH Following the widening of Route 329 and the construction of storm water drainage ponds in Howertown Park, Allen Township is being required by the state to seek out additional recreational land. The state’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is requiring the township to set aside recreational land equal in size to the land lost to Howertown Park by the recent construction. The reasoning for this requirement, township manager Ilene Eckhart explained, is because Howertown Park was funded by a land-water conservation fund from the state and the National Park Service in the 1970s. The township, Eckhart said, was not aware of this requirement during the planning process. Now, it is in discussion with the state to determine how
much land must be set aside. The selected property must meet National Park standards, meaning it cannot be woodlands or wetlands. It must be used for “active recreation.” There are no fines from the state and no definite timeline or deadline. Eckhart admitted that the entire process will “most likely take several years.” The requirement frustrated some supervisors. “In essence, by helping PennDOT [with the road work], it is costing the township,” said Supervisor Dale Hassler. Some early plans are already being discussed. Engineer Bob Cox proposed the possibility of modifying the ponds with underground infiltration and filling them in, thereby giving the township back its park land. “There is technology available for that,” he said.

3 Desperate Lessons
Yesterday we went to lunch with my son and his family. After an afternoon of soccer and sun, we were catching up on our grandkids’ school days and just more family talk. My son has a habit of saying, “Mom, did I tell you?” and I said, “No, what’s up?” He told us that the restaurant that we were in was the best in his town considering their last experience at this local restaurant. He told me that they came in here on a Saturday night about five months ago and ordered soup for our granddaughter so she could start eating (you know she’s 6 years old). They brought the soup and they waited for the menus. When the menu came he ordered a chicken sandwich but was told that they were out of chicken, my daughter-in-law ordered a toasted cheese panini, but was told the panini maker was broken. He then ordered a hamburger but the beef wasn't delivered. She ordered a salad and the salad fixings weren’t available. He asked, “Ok, is there anything on this menu we can have and the waitress said, “Yes the soup.” They were, to say the least, stunned and had to sit
ously this was a struggling business on the verge of going under. Why would you even open your doors if you only had soup? The answer is desperation. Desperation means a state of despair resulting in extreme behavior, hopelessness. I would say I’ve never been to a restaurant where soup is the only selection but I have been to a restaurant that when I ordered I was told they were out of three things. I have never been back. It’s a sign that something is wrong with the management or the owner.
Three desperate lessons:
there while Lily ate her soup. They said no thank you to the soup and decided never to go back. How can this happen in a restaurant? They actually felt sorry for the waitress. Whose fault is it? I believe desperate people do desperate things and the owner/ manager of this operation had to be desperate. The end of the story is they closed a few weeks later with a new owner, new pizza oven, mini brewery, farm to table menu, serving mostly all local food and beverages; it was a home run. I had a succulent lamb burger lettuce wrap with fresh spinach, tomato jam and a killer sauce. Let’s get back to why. Obvi-
SAVE THE DATE!!
Self-awareness is one of the greatest traits a small business owner can have. Recognize the situation and, if you cannot rectify it, don’t involve your customers. Sadly, the same goes for your employees, embarrassing someone like that is just not right.
If you are struggling with staff, cash flow and customer satisfaction and don’t know what do to, look for professional help, talk to a colleague or a friend who has experienced this situation. You can ruin your reputation in a flash. If you only have soup, don’t open your doors.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip It’s been a pretty good week, temperature wise, a little cooler than usual. But, according to the weather folks, we’re supposed to get a lotta rain from the downgraded Hurricane Florence when it reaches us. I sure hope it’s nothing like it has been down in North Carolina. I wonder if Jen, a former waitress at the Town & Country Restaurant, who moved back to South Carolina, is having that much rain? And Willard and Grace Stratz, who moved down in North Carolina from Moore Township must be affected by all that water. Aren’t Ronnie Silfies and his wife (can’t remember her name) living down there, too? . . .The Phillies had a rally on Monday, but they felt victim to one hitter, who collected six RBI’s and that was that for the New York Mets. So even though they lost, the Atlanta Braves saw their magic number drop another notch because of the Phillies’ loss. Oh well. . . .TP keeps telling me to talk about his Penn State football team some more. Maybe next week buddy. Although, I did see your Eagles lost. Hey, Carson Wentz is back next week so chin up. . . . It was Customer Appreciation Week on September 14 at the Bath Farmers’ Market, so that means they’re getting close to the end of their season, two more weeks to be exact. . . . Petersville Rod & Gun Club members are gonna honor our veterans with some motorcycle riding and band music on the 30th of
this month. It’s great when folks remember to honor our veterans, who do so much to preserve our freedoms. . . .Sorry to see that Bill Mineo passed away. He sure was a conservationist. Ye Ed tells me he was looked up to by the Junior Conservation School staff and students. . . .The kids enjoyed climbing on the fire trucks when they had a block party last week over at Victoria Square in East Allen Township. And the firefighters enjoyed helping them explore their apparatus. . . . Moore Township Lions Club had a nice car show on Sunday up at the Rec Center. . . .”Fi” Mirabito is excited about the toy raffle she’s planning as a member of the Bath Lions Club. It’s gonna be in time for Christmas, when Mom and Dad want to buy nice toys for their kids. . . . The Northampton Area Food Bank is gonna have a so-called “penny party” at Hope Lutheran Church up in Cherryville this coming Sunday afternoon. I guess Elmira could help me out on that one. Most gals know about them. Anyhow, if it’s a benefit for the food bank, they can use the money they make to buy food. . . . Power went out in a Moore Township neighborhood last week when a squirrel got into the lines and was electrocuted. . . . There’s a growing herd of deer in a local forest, protected pretty much because of homes nearby. The only way hunters can get at them is by bow and arrow when deer season rolls around. . . .Margie Rehrig has moved over to Moravian Hall Square, but will be around for breakfast with the U.C.C. church gang this Thursday morning at the T & C. . . . Take care and drive safely. See you next week.

P.A.K. from Bath, Pa. By BLAINE HOFFMEISTER It was nice to read about the American flag and plague in honor of Paul Kahler in The Home News (Aug. 30-Sept. 5 issue). I am sure if he was with us yet he would love the new borough building. I worked for Paul from 1989 until he retired from the Water Authority. I have to say, he was the best manager I ever worked for. One day I asked him why they call him P.A.K. He told me why, and it’s quite a story. So now I know, a few other people know, but many people still don’t. Here is the story as it was told by Paul. Paul was on a business trip for Penn-Dixie Cement Corp. He was dressed in a suit, shirt, tie and had a name tag that read: Penn-Dixie Cement Corp., Paul A. Kahler. Among the other passengers on the plane with Paul was “the greatest,” Mohammed Continued on page 16

(NAPSI)—Relaxing by the water or in the mountains is more than a once-a-year vacation for people who own a second home, and the explosive growth of the vacation home rental industry has put the dream of affording a vacation home within reach for more people. For those who already own a second home, the increasing popularity of renting those homes to others is boosting retirement savings, college tuition payments and disposable income. How It Works Here’s helpful information
to know when estimating how much you can earn by renting out a second home to others: Vacation home owners who list their properties for rent on one site, HomeAway.com®, garner an average of $32,000 each year, according to HomeAway data. That income lets most owners cover a significant chunk of their mortgage payment each year, 75 percent or more. The numbers get even more appealing if house payments are split among more than one owner. In fact, nearly one in three vacation homes are owned by multiple
people, typically family members and friends. What You Should Know Here’s what potential buyers should consider before taking the plunge into buying and renting out a vacation home: • HomeAway.com offers a free online tool called “Earn” that lets you enter a home’s address and other information, then presents a range of rental income potential based on nearby high-performing, like-sized properties already being rented Continued on page 16

Special needs student sexually Assaulted, lawsuit filed By HOME NEWS STAFF A lawsuit has been filed against the Northampton School District and a subdivision of the district, Colonial Northampton IU 20, for the sexual assault of a special needs minor. The 15-year-old female student was assaulted by another special needs student. The victim is described as having severe psychological and mental health issues. The incident occurred back in December of 2017 on the school bus, involving a 12year old boy who inappropriately touched the victim and made her perform sexual acts in front
of the other students on the bus, minors with similar psychological and behavioral issues. The Civil Rights complaint that has been filed against the school district and CLIU 20 states that there was an aide present on the bus but never turned around to monitor the children. The female student has been traumatized by the incident and she has since attempted suicide on two different occasions. The 12-year-old boy and other students on the bus had mocked and tormented the victim after the incident, according to the complaint that has been filed.

Jesus…Divisive?
Dr. Jack Wyrtzen said, “I often have opportunities to speak in high schools…I never go into a high school on any false pretenses, but one day something got mixed up. Somehow the principal of the school did not know what I stood for or what I believed in. He and I were on our way into the gymnasium where I was to speak to some 2,000 young people. I had already walked the hallways and been down in the locker and washroom. “The principal turned to me and said, ‘You know, Mr. Wyrtzen, we never allow the name of Jesus Christ to be mentioned in this high school.’ I replied, ‘You must be kidding. I thought Jesus Christ was the most popular person in this entire school. While walking up and down the hallways and in the locker room, everybody was using the name of Jesus Christ.’ He said, ‘Well, that’s sort of in cursing. I said, ‘If people in your school are permitted to curse Him, I ought to have the privilege of praising Him in your school. Suppose I were to talk about Caesar, Roosevelt, Washington, Lincoln or Churchill?’ He said, ‘That would be fine.’ ‘Well, why not about Jesus Christ? What did Jesus Christ do that I can’t talk about Him?’ He said, ‘Jesus Christ is very, very divisive.’ His answer reminded me of a verse, John 7:43, that says, ‘So there was a division among the people because of him.’ “One day, every one of us is going to meet Jesus Christ. You, my friend, now while there is breath in your body, are either going to meet Jesus Christ as your Savior from your sins, or one day you are going to meet Him as the Judge of your sins. The Bible says, ‘the wages of sin is death’ (Romans 6:23). You are either going to spend eternity in Hell because of your sins, or you can look at the cross of Calvary and say, ‘I believe that Jesus Christ took my place and died on the cross for me.”

He was the husband of Anna Jane (Schisler) Miller for 70 years since June 19, 1948. He attended Bath public school, Northampton High School, Ursinus College, and graduated in 1947 from Jefferson Medical College, now known as Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. After an internship and residency in St. Luke’s Hospital in Fountain Hill, he began his legacy family practice at 1220 Broadway in Fountain Hill in 1948. His practice was interrupted in 1951 for two years of service in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, where he served as Battalion Surgeon and then at a MASH unit near Seoul. He received the Bronze Star for meritorious service while training Korean doctors and medical personnel. Born in Bath on Nov. 26, 1924, he was a son of the late William Abraham and Lillian Freeda (Fehnel) Miller. Dr. Miller had an abiding passion for family medicine and the care of his patients. After 33 years of solo practice, he and his son, Dr. William L. Miller, along with Dr. Dale Grove and Dr. Michael Abgott, formed South Mountain Family Practice in 1981 and moved to a new building at 1545 Broadway in Fountain Hill. Warren retired in 1991 after 43 years of family practice serving the Fountain Hill community, delivering more than 3,000 babies and thoroughly enjoying every min-
ute. He was always there when needed. He had two great loves – his wife and Blue Heron Lake in Porter Township, Pike County, PA, where he first went to hunt in 1947 and 1948 with his wife Anna Jane’s uncles, George Schisler and Franklin Silfies. He became a member of the Blue Heron Lake on Nov. 9, 1949 and served on the board of directors for 30 years and as president for 21 years. Warren and Anna Jane wrote and self-published a book, “A History of Blue Heron Lake” in 2004. He stayed involved in multiple projects at the lake including building a new skeet field and modernizing the existing trap shooting field. An enthusiastic fisherman and hunter, “Doc” Miller approached life exuberantly and filled it with many avocations, including playing French horn when returning from seeing patients at the hospital and trumpet and the occasional family hike. He indulged in being a photographer, gardener, tennis player at his cabin or at Saucon Valley Country Club, world traveler, fly fisherman, building fly rods and tying flies, woodworker, and rifle, pistol, skeet and trap shooting competitions. He was anchorman on the Pennsylvania 5-man skeet squad that won a title at the World Skeet Shooting Championships in St. Janvier, Canada in 1962. Dr. Miller was a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians from 1972 to 1992. Other memberships included the American Medical Association, the Pennsylvania Medical Society, the Pennsylvania Academy of Family Physicians, and the Northampton County Medical Society. He also served as chairman of the Concentrated Care Unit at St. Luke’s University Hospital, Bethlehem Campus, for 12 years in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Dr. Miller was a guarantor of the Bach Choir of Bethlehem and member of the Pennsylvania German Society. He was chairman of the building committee for St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Fountain Hill when they built their new sanctuary at 1059 Delaware Ave. in 1964-65, and he also served on the committee that oversaw the renovations at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church at Dingman’s Ferry, PA in the late 1980’s.

Microwave Tips
In microwaving beef tips, chunks and stews, a tight-cover glass bowl is a good choice. A low power setting cooks meat tender in liquid and steam. Stirring helps distribute heat evenly. Remove cover carefully to avoid steam.
