Northampton Borough Council Shares Northampton Regional EMS report; considers Band trailer repairs
By SAVANNAH BROWN
At the Northampton Borough Council meeting on Thursday, Sept. 19, President Julia Kutzler shared that the Northampton Regional EMS basic financial report included their response to 1,617 calls for services in Northampton Borough and 6,400 emergencies in total.
Every year, NREMS must write off $2,950,000 in bad debt and contractual obligations due
to insurances and non-payment for services.
“They greatly depend on our support and contributions are vital to their ability to provide services,” said Kutzler.
In the borough, residents are sent an ambulance subscription notice, but only 21% of borough residents responded to the notice and signed up for the subscription, Kutzler noted.
As a subscriber, borough resi-
dents have insurance copays waived and a 50% discount on any out-of-pocket expenses related to medically necessary emergency ambulance services provided by NREMS to the closest appropriate medical facility within the Lehigh Valley.
Subscriptions also help ensure NREMS has the staff, vehicles and equipment required to pro-
Today we are remembering when Mr. William Beck, founder of Becky’s Drive-In, visited many local schools to show films to happy students.
Cindy Beck Deppe is sharing some memories from local residents who remember William Becky’s visits to schools in the area.
Retired Moore Township Elementary School teacher, Richard Becker, remembers when Cindy’s dad came to the two-room schoolhouse in Pennsville to show the Shirley Temple movies, “Heidi” and “On the Good Ship Lollipop” around 1950.
Joe Nierer from Pennsville remembers attending a two-room schoolhouse in Cherryville where he went for five years.
Cindy said, “When dad and his good friend, Bobby Spangler, of Lehigh Township School Authority, showed movies to the students, the shutters were closed to keep the room dark. Joe remembers action movies like ‘Robinhood’ with Errol Flinn. This sticks in his mind because students had recess after the movie and would go out and find sticks
to use as swords like in the movie. He thought my dad showed movies at Cherryville from 1950 to 1955.”
My friend and faithful photographer, Larry Oberly, remembered when Mr. Beck made visits to Kreidersville and Howertown elementary schools in Allen Township to show films. His wife, Margie, former supervisor of the Senior Center in Cherryville for many years, recalled Mr. Beck’s visits and film showings at the center. Always welcome, he showed many films including the classic “Gone With the Wind.”
Mr. Beck was also a regular visitor at the Franklin, Washington, and Wolf (now Colonel John Siegfried) buildings in Northampton.

“In my dad’s later years, he volunteered to show films at Gracedale. He showed ‘Laurel’ and ‘Hardy’ and other comedy films to bring cheer to everyone,” said Cindy.
In the 1950s, the drive-in helped American Legion Post 899 in Edgemont and the Lehigh Township Fire Company to raise funds for their organizations.
Cindy’s parents also sponsored the Lehigh Township eighth grade students’ trip to Gettysburg in the ’50s. At the time, the township was not part of the Northampton Area School District.
Each year since 1988, Becky’s Drive-In hosts special events and gives 100% of the profits to Dream Come True. Over $400,000 has been donated to the organization.
Dream Come True works to fulfill the dreams of seriously, chronically and terminally ill children who live in the Greater Lehigh Valley.
We will conclude the Becky’s Drive-In series in two weeks. See you then!

‘OktoPURRfest’ To take over New Emmaus Taproom
Submitted by HAYDEN RINDE
Two Emmaus businesses are joining forces on Oct. 6 with OktoPURRfest, a fun-filled event to support local cat rescues.
Hosted by Purr Haus and Weyerbacher Brewing Company, the event will be held in the courtyard of Weyerbacher’s new Emmaus taproom at 518 Bank St., from noon until 3 p.m. Ok-
toPURRfest will feature adoptable kittens, beer specials, raffles and games to raise funds and awareness.
Purr Haus owner Laurie Mason Schroeder said the Oktoberfest style event will be a rare opportunity for “cat people” to socialize in a way that dog owners have long enjoyed.
“We’re going to get together and raise a mug of delicious beer, and it’s all for a good cause,” she said.
The event is free, but attendees are encouraged to bring a cat food or kitten food donation for a chance to win a prize. Five rescues are participating: Aunt Helen’s Cats in Need, Foxy’s Cradle, Feline Finish Line, Feline Urban Rescue and Rehabilitation (FURR) and Lehigh Valley Humane Society.
Each rescue will have activities going on at their station, including raffles and games. Weyerbacher is donating $1 from every beer sold to the LV Humane Society. The Sunday Snack Shack food truck will also be onsite.

In other news, council unanimously approved a motion to allow a vintage Ford Model T to park in front of the Roxy Theatre on Nov. 2 for a bride and groom to take photos for their wedding being held there.
Council also unanimously approved a request from the Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce to use the band trailer on Dec. 13 for their Christmas in Nazareth event. They will be required to pay a $300 rental fee and $150 for delivery and setup.
Northampton Borough is one of the few municipalities in the area to have a portable band trailer. However, the trailer has been housed outdoors, which has made it susceptible to damage from the weather, which is why it is currently in need of some repairs.
Due to the costs associated with the repairs and the low amount the borough receives to loan out the band trailer, Councilwoman Judy Haldeman suggested reaching out to Bethlehem Area Vocational-Technical School to ask if the school would take on the repairs as a project for one of the classes.
Additionally, Borough Manager Brian Welsko suggested the borough look into getting storage for the band trailer once repairs are made to prevent future damages and deterioration from the elements.
During reports from committees, it was announced that Tuesday, Sept. 24 would be the last day for the farmer’s market, which is held from 3 to 6 p.m. at Municipal Park, located at Laubach Avenue and Smith Lane. The market will reopen in May 2025.

Also in attendance were representatives from Allen Township and East Allen Township, D’Huy Engineering Inc., Penn Builders Inc., Terraform, KCBA Architects, Snyder Hoffman Associates and the Act 93 administrative team.
“Today marks the commitment to the school district to provide the educational resources needed for future generations in today's fast educational technologically driven world. In this district,
we've been very fortunate to have supportive parents, a supportive community and a great staff to get the kids going in the right direction here,” Kovalchik shared.
“I’ve always said that Northampton is the best kept secret in the region. Well, that's no longer a secret anymore. The district is 98 square miles [and] there are 2,000 homes being built in our school district, so you have residential growth, you have commercial growth, and the district is primed to be the next huge success in the region. Some of that is because of location, and some of it is because we have one of the lowest tax bases and lowest tax rates in the entire region. And success doesn't happen by accident. Everyone here has had some type of part in the success of the school district,” Kovalchik divulged.
“I'm just extremely proud of what we've been able to do as a unit over the years and on this project, and I'm looking for more continued growth and more opportunities for all of our kids and the community at large,” added Kovalchik.
Former board member and Northampton Area High School history teacher, Robert Mentzell, then provided the audience with a history lesson on the property and the area.
Mentzell noted that the land the elementary school is being built on was the Craig Settlement, named after James Craig, who was a leader of the ScotchIrish group that settled in the area in 1728, and just 1/5 of mile away is Horner Cemetery, which served the Craig Settlement and is the oldest cemetery in Northampton County.
Buried at Horner’s Cemetery are some of the notable figures of the settlement’s Scotch-Irish community including Craig’s father and sons, Hugh Wilson (builder of the blockhouse that is now on Laubach Avenue and one of the first three judges in Northampton County Court), James Ralston (builder of the fort that was located at Franks Corner at the intersection between Airport Road and Nor Bath Boulevard, and who also drew the plans that laid out the town of Bath) and General Robert Brown (Revolutionary War hero and U.S. congressman who was gifted two horsechestnut saplings by George Washington for their friendship that Brown planted at his home north of Franks Corner, which is known as the Friendship Tree that later became the symbol of Bath).
“When East Allen Elementary is completed, that small
network of roads around the buildings should be named in honor of these East Allen pioneers and heroes: James Craig, Hugh Wilson, James Ralston and General Robert Brown,” Mentzell offered.

Planting Event Announced

NICOLE ROMANISHAN
The Nazareth Borough Municipal Authority (NBMA) is
excited to announce they have teamed up with Material Matters, Inc. and the Keystone 10 Million Trees Partnership (K10) to organize a riparian buffer tree planting event on Saturday, Oct. 12.
The K10 Partnership is committed to improving Pennsylvania’s communities, economy and ecology by planting 10 million trees throughout the commonwealth. The tree planting will take place at 6249 Hower Rd. in Nazareth. This event will include volunteers from local groups and agencies as well as members of Material Matters and NBMA.
K10 is providing 600 trees, free of charge, that will be planted in a four-acre wetland and riparian buffer area at the Hower Farm. Tree species were chosen based on species native to Pennsylvania and K10 species availability.
Riparian buffer tree plantings provide numerous benefits to the watershed including water quality protection, flood protection, streambank stabilization and wildlife habitat. This project will benefit the ecosystem of the Little Bushkill Creek watershed.
Freeman Welcomes $54,000 Sewer grant For West Easton
Submitted by TOM
ANDREWS
State Rep. Robert Freeman said the PA Commonwealth Financing Authority recently approved more than $54,000 in grant funding for a sewer project in West Easton.
West Easton will use its $54,671 American Rescue Plan Small Water and Sewer grant for Cured-in-Place-Pipe Lining of sanitary sewer pipes in the borough.
“These funds will allow West Easton to complete this project and ensure a better sewer system for many years to come,” said Freeman, D-Northampton. “I would like to thank the CFA
board for recognizing the significance this grant will have on the infrastructure in West Easton.” Funds distributed through the Small Water and Sewer program provide for small water, sewer and storm system water infrastructure projects. Act 54 of 2022 appropriated $105.6 million of American Rescue Plan Act funds to the PA Small Water and Sewer Program.
The CFA was established in 2004 as an independent agency of the state Department of Community and Economic Development to administer Pennsylvania’s economic stimulus packages. Unique among state agencies in structure and scope, the CFA consists of seven board members: four legislative appointees and the secretaries of DCED, the Office of the Budget and Department of Banking and Securities.
2 new Exhibits Featuring Warehouses And Easton Opening at The Sigal Museum
Submitted by SARAH WHITE
Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society explores our changing landscape, urban development and the geographic role of the Lehigh Valley in two thought-provoking exhibitions opening on Sept. 26 at the Sigal Museum in Easton.
Warehouse Valley: A Changing Landscape
This exhibit explores the history of the landscape of the Lehigh Valley and the ways in which place shapes community identity. It pairs historic artworks and images by regional artists like Walter Emerson Baum, Mary Maxwell McCartney and Gustav Grunewald with photos of those same locations today.
While the juxtapositions can be startling, and it seems like our landscape is rapidly shifting, it has been changing throughout history. Small settlements grew to larger towns, which grew into cities. People started businesses, used the natural resources of the area to grow their communities, and farmed the vast and fertile lands of eastern Pennsylvania. Industries grew and changed. For the last 250 years, we have evolved from small businesses

and farms to megamalls to warehouses. What does this mean for the land itself, and to those living and working here?
"Warehouse Valley is very much an exhibit about our relationship with space and memory," notes Curator of Exhibitions Tim Betz. "It looks at the landscape as a historical document which can be used to compare the past and present and learn more about the community." How does today's landscape reflect our values?
"We are looking at all sides of the current development boom," says Executive Director Megan van Ravenswaay, "but some of the statistics we've learned during our research have been sobering. Is continued growth always positive? What is the impact on the environment and quality of life? What do we want our landscape to look like moving forward? We hope this exhibition will foster important community dialogue about how our actions affect the world around us."
"I Saw Easton The Way It Could Be:” Tim Hare
This exhibit celebrates the life of Tim Hare (1947-2020), an artist and architect who was a driving force in historic preservation and community revitalization in Easton after urban renewal. As an artist, he saw the beauty in his town and its buildings. As a husband, Tim advocated for marriage equality and basic civil rights for the Lehigh Valley’s LGBTQ+ community.
"Tim Hare reminds us all of the role we play in our broader community," remembers van Ravenswaay. "We can use our voice and the power of peaceful protest to enact important change and advocate for issues that
are dear to our hearts. Imagine what downtown Easton would look like today if Tim and other residents kept silent and did not fight to preserve and protect our historic structures?"
The Warehouse Valley and Tim Hare exhibits will be open to the public beginning Thursday, Sept. 26 with a VIP Reception from 4 to 7 p.m.
Members enjoy free admission. The fee for non-members is $10.
RSVP to Sarah White at sarah@northamptonctymuseum. org.
The Sigal Museum hours are Thursday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. The museum is located at 342 Northampton St., Easton.
For more information, call 610-253-1222 or visit www.sigalmuseum.org.
Did You Know?
Thirty percent of American consumers are within a one-day drive of the Lehigh Valley.
As of 2023, 521 million square feet of warehouses are in the Lehigh Valley.
The Lehigh River is considered
one of the most endangered rivers in the United States due to high development and pollution.
Manufacturing accounts for 16.5% in the Lehigh Valley’s economy. This is higher than the national average of 12%.
to the Borough of Bath
A total of 86 bridges in the Lehigh Valley (many of which carry semi-trucks full of goods from warehouses) are rated as “poor” by the Federal Highway Administration.

Arrange 1 oven rack at lowest rack setting; place second rack in middle of oven. Preheat oven to 425. Place potatoes in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss to coat. Roast potatoes until tender, 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a large bowl, mix yeast, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 2 cups flour. Add warm water; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Gently knead in roasted potatoes and cheese. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch down dough. Shape into a 7-inch round loaf. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until dough expands to a 9-inch loaf, about 45 minutes.
Heat an oven-safe skillet on bottom oven rack. Meanwhile, in a teakettle, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Using a sharp knife, make a 1/4-inch-deep slash across top of loaf. Place bread on top rack. Pull bottom rack out by 6-8 inches; add boiling water to skillet. (Work quickly and carefully, pouring water away from you. Don't worry if some water is left in the kettle.)
