Fire trucks parade through Northampton During inaugural block party

by KERI LINDENMUTH Over 50 fire trucks, lights ablaze and sirens blaring, rolled through the borough of Northampton during the Northampton Borough Fire Department’s inaugural block party.

The block party was held on

Washington Avenue in front of the Alliance Fire Company. Visitors could get up close to ladder trucks, pumpers, rescue boats, and even antique engines from the turn of the 20th century. Volunteer firefighters from over 20 municipalities showed off their

equipment and gear for a panel of judges and even some young aspiring firefighters.

There was plenty of food being served by the Alliance Fire Company, as well as a beer garden where visitors could sit back, relax, and admire the shining

fire trucks lining the street. For children, there were games, prize wheels, and candy. Some dawned plastic red helmets and spent time petting Ember, the two-year old Northampton Fire Department Dalmatian.

There were plenty of cheers

Looking by Back Ed Pany The Village of Kreidersville

Police Chief Bryan Kadingo welcomes Brandon Reph to the Northampton Police Department.

by KERI LINDENMUTH Brandon Reph, 28, was hired as a part-time police officer for the Borough of Northampton during borough council’s public meeting on Thursday, September 20. Reph is a graduate of

Whitehall High School. After high school, he served in the United States Army’s 4th Infantry Division and spent one year in Afghanistan. He is a 2015 graduate of the Allentown Police Academy.

Today we will look into the history of the Village of Kreidersville. The village is on the old road from Bethlehem to Lehigh Gap. It consisted of a tavern, store, foundry and a score of buildings.

It derives its name from Conrad Kreider, a native of Switzerland, who settled there during the colonial era.

He was born Sept. 7, 1736, and came to Allen Township as a young man with his parents and married Regina Bastian. He owned a store and tavern and operated several mills on the Hokendauqua Creek. Kreider was

appointed “wagonmaster” during the Revolutionary War by the justices of Northampton County June 26, 1777.

He reported that there were 550 wagons assembled. Northampton County furnished 200 wagons to the Army during the Revolutionary War. Kreider and his wagons played a crucial role in saving an American icon, the Liberty Bell, from British control.

As the British occupied Philadelphia, it was decided that the bell should be taken away and hidden in a safe place. It was placed on a wagon and driven to-

(and sirens) when the parade of over 50 trucks took off from Washington Avenue, ventured through the municipal complex, and came back through the center of town via Main Street.

ward Allentown, but on the way through Bethlehem, the wagon broke down on the town square and was repaired by the brethren. After great effort, the bell was hidden beneath the floor of Zion Reformed Church, where it remained until the British left Philadelphia. The bell, America’s symbol of liberty, was thus saved for future generations.

Kreider died on the anniversary of his birth at the age of 92.

The American patriot, who has been all but forgotten, was buried in the cemetery at Zion Stone United Church of Christ in Kreidersville — a fitting site.

It would be a trip back in time to visit the church cemetery, Continued on page 2

Fire Trucks Continued from page 1

There were several Northampton County fire departments in attendance, including Allen Township, East Allen Township, and Nazareth. However, fire departments came from as far away as Shartlesville and Bowmanstown.

The Northampton Fire Department and Chief Keith Knoblach led off the parade, showing

off the department’s brand new Pearce Enforcer Pumper, which was dedicated during the event.

For many in Northampton, the block party was an opportunity to meet the men and women dedicating their time and their lives to the safety of the borough. And, based on the big smiles and excited waves as the fire trucks made their way through the borough, there may be a few members of the crowd that wait anxiously to one day follow in their footsteps.

For the health-minded individual

Let Us Eat Lettuce

It’s to absolutely no one’s surprise that the more green leafy vegetables you consume the greater the chances that you will live longer and, perhaps more importantly, thrive much better along life’s journey.

You just can’t argue with that hypothesis, can you?

Forget the peer reviewed research that demonstrates the minerals, nutrients et al, that are inclusive within let’s say, Swiss chard, and just think for a moment about what your instincts tell you. Consuming lettuce improves health and sustains life far better than anything that a person can create. I honestly do not love salads. Specifically, spinach leaves just feel strange in my mouth. It’s an effort to get it down the hatch.

I do not think I have ever admitted that to anyone up to this point but having that off my chest just feels good. If I was to keep going I truly do not like tomatoes (sorry mom). But guess what? I eat spinach often. Tomatoes, usually five out of seven days. I “just do it” because I know that the alternative is greater odds of sickness

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

Helping for 20 years down the road if I don’t.

Perhaps the easiest way for me to consume green leaf type stuff is to simply put it in my daily super smoothie. I would rather grind up stuff then have to use a fork. It’s just how I do it these days. Yes, I sit and have traditional salad concoctions yet it doesn’t thrill me like a chocolate milkshake does. I rarely start salivating at a pile of spring mix, romaine, or iceberg lettuce siting on a plate. But I do what I have to do because we know what we know about the intrinsic super powers encased within.

To this day my mind is blown by those who tell me they can-

Really? God says ‘eat this and eat it often”. Man says “don’t eat that ever”. Someone is correct and someone is mistaken. I wonder who…

I have been thinking a lot about how the earth, nature, God if you will, keeps giving without reservation, never asking for anything in return. No payment is ever demanded. Think about it; water flows freely to use each day. Apples, peaches, and blue berries develop ‘magically’ upon trees and bushes that also give life sustaining oxygen. Consider how food pushes forth from dirt.

Yams, potatoes, asparagus, and of course, the topic at hand, lettuce.

We could go on all day about how unselfish nature just loves us

and provides for us. It is beautiful and I am humbled at the mere thought of it all.

Ladies and gentleman, I do not have an inclining how it all really works. I have decided to simply trust in the natural laws that our divine creator has decided that we will be a part of. I know the rules

for the most part. So do you.

It’s pretty simple when you boil it all down. I am not saying it’s easy but ‘it ain’t that hard’ neither.

Simply put those greens in your mouth. Chew a wee bit as my granny would say and swallow. Let us eat lettuce!

My best to you.

Northampton residents are Fed up with 451 E. 10th St. Property

By KERI LINDENMUTH Buying your first home is supposed to be an exciting experience, but for Northampton resident Lynn Mattern, this dream quickly turned into a nightmare since she purchased her home in June.

Mattern had no idea what lay behind the walls of the rental property next door. When the family that had previously lived there was evicted, they left behind rotten food, dirty diapers, urine-soaked mattresses, and cockroaches. “[She] has been robbed of her first house experience,” said her father Doug.

Now, Mattern and her neighbor Melissa Cser are using their voices to ensure something changes and changes soon. Both appeared before the Northampton Borough Council on Thursday, September 20, to complain of the property, located at 451 E. 10th Street.

“We are at the mercy of the owners of this property,” Mattern told council.

Council reported that code inspector Keith Knoblach sent a certified letter to the owner.

When that letter was received, the owner was supposed to call the borough to schedule an inspection of the property. Howev-

er, the borough received no calls.

When asked what the next step would be, council said it would be sending another letter and posting that letter on the property’s front door.

However, a letter, say Mattern and Cser, is not enough. It is too easy, they argue, for the property owner to say he never received or saw the letter.

“With every day that passes,” Mattern told council, “this [problem] continues to grow.”

“I am ripping my furniture apart,” says Cser, who has spoken to borough officials and council several times about this issue.

“They [council] do not have to go home to this.”

The cockroaches, Cser told council during their last meeting on September 9, are in her furniture. They are in her kitchen and in her appliances. Both Cser and Mattern are paying for exterminators. Exterminators warn them that the situation will only worsen come winter, when the bugs will look for someplace warm to hide.

Meanwhile, while Cser and Mattern pay hundreds to exterminators and try to explain this situation to their children, the infestation continues to grow behind the doors of 451 E. 10th Street. The property owner, they said, has never done anything to help them.

“Please do not think that we are heartless,” said borough solicitor Steven Goudsouzian. “There are limited things a municipality can do when it is a private problem.”

There can be no enforcement, he says, until the landlord sees the letter.

Coincidentally, Cser and Mattern spoke before council on the same night council once again voted on the borough’s rental

inspection ordinance, which had been vetoed by Mayor Thomas Reenock for a second time.

Council again voted 6-2 to pass the ordinance, but for Cser and Mattern, this ordinance comes too late. If the ordinance would have been in effect before, one audience member said out loud during the meeting, they would not be facing the problems they are now.

“We have lost Lynn,” said Mattern’s father. His daughter, he says, has not been the same since buying her property on E. 10th Street.

“Home is supposed to be a haven,” he added. “Where else can you go?”

This research is especially important since fewer than 10 percent of dam removals in the last century were accompanied by scientific study. Megan Rothenberger, Assistant Professor of Biology and Environmental Science at Lafayette College, will present a summary of the ongoing pre-dam removal research, which includes almost 8 years of water quality monitoring, surveys of freshwater mussels, analysis of heavy metals in legacy sediments and associated toxicity assays to assess potential risks to organisms downstream.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip We’re into the fall season, and soon all the leaves that turn red and yellow and other colors will be falling from trees. After that comes the cold, cold weather of winter, which most of us dread.

That’s how it is and you can’t fool Mother Nature. . . .I was glad to see Pastor Fran Merkel in Bath the other day. She came in from Berks County for breakfast with the Christ Church men and women from town. Although she’s serving two churches now, she was sad to report that several churches in the Southeast Pennsylvania Synod have closed their doors. Also in attendance at the breakfast was Betty Gehring, our 100-year-old friend now living over at Whitehall’s Fellowship Manor. . . . I heard a rumor that Green Street, alongside of Keystone Park, is gonna get milled down this Thursday, and then paved over shortly after. It would be nice if it’s true.

Next in line should be West Northampton Street, Penn Street and Washington Street. . . .If you see a big smile on Ye Olde Editor’s face it’s because he just became a great-grandpop, and he’s proud as punch. Congrats, Pappy! . . . . In case you missed it, Bath has a new motto that Charlie McIlhaney cooked up.

It’s “Bath: History Nestled with Friendship”. Way to go, Charlie! . . . .I don’t remember, but it’s interesting how the late Paul Kahler got the tag “P.A.K. from Bath, Pa.” – from Mohammed Ali (or Cassius Clay), as he was talking to him on a plane while they were traveling on business.

Ali asked him where he lived and Paul said Bath, Pa. Ali had a training camp at Deer Lake in the Poconos and he said it wasn’t far from Bath. Then came the name tag. Wow! . . . .Phillies are playing out the string after being swept by the Atlanta Braves, and no doubt, losses to Colorado

and three more with the Braves.

Although Ye Ed rooted against the Braves, now he has to root for ‘em because of his daughters and grandchildren living in the Atlanta area. Oh well, the young Phillies got some learning experience, so better luck next year. . . . I hear the State Police are doing a great job of serving Bath now, and a get-together with the police and the public was planned. . . .Paul Csencsits didn’t believe the 427 bowling score of Marty Csencsits a couple weeks ago was right in the paper, but it was. Paul said Marty is a good bowler, so he didn’t believe it and thought it was a misprint. The scores are higher now. . . . Penn State and the Eagles were football winners over the weekend. Nittany Lions host Ohio State Saturday night, though. Could be trouble there. . . .Congrats to the East Allen summer campers for raising $3,500 and then giving it to the Lehigh Valley Zoo to build a new home of trees, logs and water for two North American otters. Kids like to help out animals. . . .The U.C.C. church in Bath is gonna have a quilt show this Saturday.

They’re great to look at for all the work there is in quilting them. I used to like the display they had at the Kutztown Fair. . . . See you around next week. If you have any good stories, give the office a call. It can spice up my letter.

Gambler Converted

John knew the dangers of addiction. Yet despite his counseling credentials, he had foolishly let gambling drive him, his wife, and their daughter to near suicide.

John M. Eades held a doctorate in counseling and for 20 years had worked as a therapist with drug and alcohol addicts. But neither his education nor his professional expertise prevented his descent into compulsive gambling. His downfall began when friends pestered him to accompany them to a nearby casino. Although Eades never had a proclivity toward gambling before, the urge to deposit quarters in slot machines escalated into repeated casino visits. Within two years he had racked up $245,000 in gambling debts on 17 credit cards. One night, with no credit card availability and after losing all the cash he had brought to the casino, Eades pulled into a rest stop and reached into the glove compartment for his .357 Magnum.

It was not there. He figured his wife had removed the pistol to prevent his suicide. Upon returning home Eades thanked her for caring enough to spare his life. She responded, “I sold the gun so we could pay our electric bills.” Soon the economic strain became too much for his wife and she attempted suicide.

When his adult daughter was missing during a suicide attempt, Eades turned to God and prayed fervently and sincerely. A series of miracles resulted. Eades now regularly attends church, reads the Bible and prays. “I don’t think anybody really changes without spiritual transformation from God,” he says. “The ones who change are those who had a conversion experience, repented of their sins and asked God to forgive them.” –AG-NEWS #466 Don’t let gambling destroy your life and family!

Holy Family School’s Coding Club Takes up game Designing Submitted by KRIS PORTER

The Coding Club at Holy Family School has launched another year for students in fourth through eighth grades.

Computer teacher Joe McMaster said he offers the club, “because it’s something the kids are interested in, particularly game

design. It’s another feather in their technology cap.”

McMaster uses a program called Google CS First: Passport to Computer Science to teach the club members. The program focuses on game design, which isn’t something he necessarily covers in class. That’s why McMaster thought a club would be a great place to offer it.

“For those who want to go further in computer science, it’s great for them,” he said.

The club has 11 students in it of which about half of them were in the club last year.

This is the second year for seventh-grader Emily Olsen.

“I enjoy computer science and honestly I just really like coding and how all the gaming things work,” she said.

For sixth-grader Abigail Halldorson, Coding Club is brand new for her.

“I’ve always loved computer science and computing,” she said.

“My dad taught me the basics, so I wanted to learn more because I find it interesting.”
