17-year-old arrested For double homicide in North Catasauqua

By HOME NEWS STAFF

A news conference was held on Tuesday, September 19 in regards to the double homicide committed in North Catasauqua Borough on Thursday, September 14.

District Attorney Terry Houck’s office announced an arrest in the case. John Bradley, a 17-year-old from Parkland School District, has been accused of killing his 16-yearold ex-girlfriend, Rianna Lynn Glass, a junior at Northampton Area High School, and her mother, 39-year-old Rosalyn Siobal Glass, with a knife.

Railroad St. residence, joining Bradley. As a result of the one-vehicle car crash, Bradley was transported to St. Luke's in Bethlehem and the 14-yearold was transported to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Houck stated that at the time of the press conference, investigators had not been able to communicate with the 14-year-old due to her injuries, but that they are not ruling out charges for her.

District Attorney Houck reported at the news conference that Rianna and Bradley had been in a previous relationship, and that about a week before the crime was committed, Rianna had informed Bradley that she had moved on.

Houck stated that there is DNA evidence linking Bradley to the crime, in addition to surveillance video.

A GoFundMe has been established to help with costs of funeral services for Rosalyn and Rianna. The GoFundMe page states that once all expenses are paid, remaining funds will be donated to Turning Point of the Lehigh Valley, in memory of Rianna.

There are quite a few misconceptions about dairy and animal farmers, most of which come from the fact that everything has

become so commercialized that many people no longer know where their dairy and meat come from. Thankfully, our neck of the woods has some top-notch farm-

Layne Klein from Klein Dairy Farm and Ed Lorah from Lorah’s Pig Farm are both third generation farmers that grew up knowing they wanted to take over the family farm someday. Other commonalities they share are how much pride they take in their farming practices, quality products, ethical treatment of their animals and let’s not forget, their family values that are at the core of everything they do.

Layne Klein resides at his farm in Forks Township with his wife Beth. The pair have been married for 44 years with four children and 12 grandchildren. This year also marks the 88th anniversary of Klein Farms.

DA Houck detailed that after the crime was committed, Bradley stole Rosalyn’s vehicle, which he later crashed on Spring Valley Road in Upper Saucon Township. According to Houck, a 14-year-old female was with Bradley in the stolen vehicle, and was also seen on a camera entering the front entrance of the 1106

Continued from page 1

Between Layne and his son, they own 150 acres of farmland and rent an additional 105 acres. Klein Dairy Farm is situated on the original 81-acre lot, which is also where his 70 cattle and 110 other animals reside.

Seven days a week and 365 days a year, his days start around 5 a.m. and don’t end until 7 to 8 p.m. Twice a day, Layne milks 70 cows for roughly two hours in the morning and two hours at night, although it is now done by machines rather than by hand.

In fact, during their first 28 years of marriage, Layne and Beth only had one week off due to their demanding farming schedule, but now that they have help around the farm, they can do a little more traveling than those early years.

Suddenly, in November 2002, Layne was injured when a sick cow rolled on him, breaking his leg and dislocating his foot, which required surgery and many months of rest. Layne and Beth decided to sell their milking cows the following January but kept the young animals to raise.

That’s when they started researching and experimenting with making cheeses and other items.

Then, in 2004, Layne and Beth began selling retail milk, beef, eggs and cheeses to the public and also obtained their raw milk

SPORTSMAN’S DRAWING & MEAT RAFFLE

license from the state, which requires their milk to be tested twice a month to ensure optimal quality.

Now, they sell nothing but raw milk and have expanded to include drinkable yogurt (sMOOgurt) and ice cream in addition to selling milk, cheese and yogurt to 40 wholesalers. Both Layne’s storefront and ice cream business (Happy Holstein Ice Cream) are all located on the farm. Layne shares Happy Holstein Ice Cream with partner Daniel Duffin, where Duffin makes over 20 flavors of ice cream right there on the premises.

Layne also discloses that over the 21 years they have been selling raw milk, he has often found that lactose intolerant individuals can actually drink raw milk without any of the normal issues they have with pasteurized milk.

Additionally, Layne points out some misconceptions that the general public tends to have, the first of which centers around animal abuse.

“The average farmer treats their animals better than themselves actually, especially the cows that they milk because they’re mothers,” Layne shares.

He jokes that the second misconception is that chocolate milk comes from brown cows.

Layne also shares that there are quite a few challenges that go into farming such as finances and the inability to control the weather or set their own prices, which is why a lot of farmers struggle to make ends meet.

“There’s a lot of work, time, labor and expenses that go into putting a gallon of milk on the table, and $1.50 is all farmers get for a gallon of milk right now,” Layne adds.

Moreover, most farmers don’t

have generations to take over their farm, so many small farmers have been selling their farms to warehouses when they retire, which is why there are only 10 dairy farmers left in Northampton County from the 150 or so that used to exist in the 1980s.

Layne divulged that if every farmer stopped shipping milk, the whole country would run out of milk in just three days.

Therefore, Layne is a big believer in making sure he keeps moving forward and says he will continue farming until his time runs out.

Klein Dairy Farms’ storefront and Happy Holstein Ice Cream

are both located at 410 Klein Rd. in Easton where they also welcome school tours. Their store is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. where they offer natural and fresh products such as raw milk, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, aged cheeses, cheese spreads, sMOOgurt drinkable yogurt, Greek style yogurt, brown eggs, baked goods, seasonal produce, homemade applesauce, salsa, bacon, pork, beef and chicken.

Similarly, Ed Lorah resides on his 190-acre farm, which is located in Lehigh Township, where his grandfather settled in 1910 at

Pa. Historic Preservation Office gives presentation at Bath HARB meeting

By SAVANNAH BROWN

The Bath Historical Architecture Review Board held a meeting on Wednesday, September 20 to discuss the Bath Historic District’s nomination for the National Register of Historic Places by the Pennsylvania Historic Preservation Board.

Division Manager Elizabeth Rairigh of the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office provided a presentation on the possibility of Bath Historic District becoming a nationally registered district.

Rairigh explained that the Pa. State Historic Preservation Office is the official historic preservation agency for the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and it is a bureau within the Pa. Historical and Museum Commission.

The National Register of Historic Places was established in 1966 to help coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate and protect historic and archeological resources, is maintained by the National Park Service and includes properties of national, state and local significance.

To be listed, historic resources must be at least 50 years old, retain integrity and meet one of four criteria, which includes association with significant events, association with people significant to the past, architecture/ work of a master or archaeology/ provide information about the past, whereas local significance is the most listed. Additionally, the seven aspects of integrity include

location, design, setting, association, materials, workmanship and feeling.

The Bath Historic District is being recognized for its significance for commerce and architecture, with the associated period of significance being 1799-1930.

Some of the reasons to list things in the National Register that Rairigh pointed out are recognition, promotion of community and economic development and tourism, consideration, applying for grants and tax credits and because nationally registered properties tend to hold their value.

Rairigh shared that the National Register does not restrict a property owner’s ability to alter, manage or dispose of a property, require properties to be maintained, repaired or restored, require properties to be open to the public or invoke local zoning or landmark designation.

Listing with the National Register provides recognition of a property’s historic importance and assures review of federally funded or permitted projects that might affect the historic character of the property. When a property is listed in the National Register, certain federal investment tax credits for rehabilitation and other provisions many apply.

Consideration in planning for federal, federally-licensed and federally-assisted projects

includes Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, which requires that federal agencies allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation an opportunity to comment on all projects affecting historic properties listed. Some listings also qualify for federal grants for historic preservation. Additionally, listings also re-

ceive eligibility for certain tax provisions. Owners of properties listed in the National Register may be eligible for a 20% investment tax credit for the certified rehabilitation of income-producing certified historic structures such as commercial, industrial or rental residential buildings. Federal tax deductions are also available for charitable contributions for conservation purposes of partial interest in historically important land areas or structures. However, owner/occupants of properties do not qualify for the tax credit, but they can apply tax credits to the part of their prop-

erty that is a business, and owner’s that rent out their properties wholly qualify for the tax credit. There are also certain conditions that permit nonprofits to be eligible for the tax credit, but it is a sophisticated process. Therefore, the National Register opens up the opportunity for grants, which is often what historic churches use to pay for building renovations and restorations.

It was noted that not all of the properties within Bath Historic District are included in this review process. The Historic Map of 1878 is roughly the same boundaries being proposed, which is outlined in red on the site plan, whereas excluded properties are highlighted in blue.

Northampton Borough Council approves music Festival, requests fire police volunteers

By KERI LINDENMUTH

A new music festival highlighting local bands may soon debut in Northampton Borough. During their September 21 meeting, Northampton Borough Council approved the Equinox Music & Arts Festival for March 19, 2024 at Municipal Park. Originally planned for the fall

equinox, the festival was moved to the spring due to scheduling conflicts. It will feature a variety of independent artists as well as performances by local bands and food trucks.

While this event has not been held before, organizers say similar local music and art festivals have attracted “a few hundred” attend-

ees. With Community Days, Paw Prints on the Canal, and the Uptown Street Fair already annual traditions in the borough, the size of this new event is not unprecedented and something borough facilities, like parking lots, would be prepared for.

However, several questions remain since this event is the first of its kind. Police Chief Bryan Kadingo asked event organizers to meet with Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst to discuss security at the event. He said a private security force could monitor the event without costing taxpayers and provide a line of communication to police if needed. Councilwoman Judith Haldeman also asked organizers to prepare a list of vendors and a detailed list of the merchandise.

In other news, council approved the closure of 19th Street between

Lincoln Avenue and Ridge Alley for another borough celebration.

A trunk-or-treat will be held at St. Paul’s UCC on October 29. The road closure will be in effect from 1 until 4 p.m.

“They have a nice little shindig,” said Brobst.

The Northampton Exchange Club’s Annual Jack Frost Parade is also scheduled for October. The parade, which Mayor Tony Pristash says is among the oldest in the Lehigh Valley, is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 19. Any groups wishing to participate in the parade must call 610-262-

9479 for more information.

In other news, it was announced that the borough is looking for fire police volunteers, among many others. The fire police are a unit within the borough’s fire department. Qualified volunteers at least 14 or older are encouraged to apply online at www.northamptonboro.com/fire.

Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. was a former fire police volunteer.

“We need help,” he said. “It’s a calling.”

“We have the best…service branches…in the valley,” he continued. “[But] I would like to get our numbers higher.” He said neighboring townships are

growing and may soon rely on Northampton’s emergency services for aid.

Public works was another borough department recognized during the meeting. Mayor Tony Pristash praised public works and the engineering department, speaking with excitement about upcoming beautification efforts. Plans are in the works for a Welcome Center at Canal Park. Grants are being applied for to help build this facility.

“This will be the D&L Trail oasis we’ve waited for for a long time,” said Mayor Tony Pristash. “[And] it will give a little more prominence to the borough.”

The welcome area will highlight local attractions, businesses and restaurants while giving hikers and bikers a place to rest. A riverfront garden is still in the works, while the butterfly garden debuted last month to much fanfare.

Mayor Pristash encouraged council to continue to come forward with ideas on how they can help beautify the borough and thanked members for all their help thus far.

Finally, a moment of silence was held for Debra Brobst, wife of the borough manager. Brobst passed away on September 12. She was an active member of the community, having served as manager of the Northampton Memorial Community Center for 20 years. She was also a member of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northampton and the Northampton Exchange Club.

“It seems everyone in the whole world knew who my wife was,” Brobst said at the end of the meeting. “The outpouring of support has been tremendous. It has made my life much more bearable to know she meant so much to so many people.”

The Distinguished Alumni Award Celebration, sponsored by the Northampton Area Konkrete Kids Educational Foundation, was held on Sunday, September 17 to honor seven Northampton Area High School alumni. Front row seated from left to right: Monica Jurasits Weninger (Class of 1988), Arthur R. Schisler (Class of 1958) and Roseanna M. Neupauer, Ph.D. (Class of 1985).

Free basic Construction Methods and Operations Training for Northampton County residents

Submitted by BRITTNEY WAYLEN

County Executive Lamont

G. McClure and Northampton Community College (NCC) announce that NCC will be providing free training for Northampton County residents to enhance the skills of current home construction employees or prepare new employees for employment, thanks to a grant provided by the Northampton County Department of Economic Development.

The training program will include hands-on instruction in basic construction methods and operations, including hand and power tools, framing and applications of trim, drywall and wall repairs, door and window installation, ladder and scaffolding safety, and building code awareness.

Northampton County has a 24-hour emergency hotline for all human services-related emergencies. Anyone struggling with a mental health crisis, abuse, neglect, suicidal thoughts, evictions, substance abuse, food insecurity, etc. can call 610-252-9060 for help and referrals.

"Concern for safety on the job has been one of the hallmarks of my Administration. We are so fortunate to have an institution of higher learning like NCC to partner with to make sure we can continue to realize that vision in Northampton County," said County Executive Lamont G. McClure.

Candidates successfully completing the program will earn an OSHA 10-Hour Outreach Training for Construction card. An employer day will also be included so participants will have the opportunity to network and interview with potential employers.

Interested participants must attend a mandatory information session on Wednesday, October 4 from 10 to 11 a.m. or 2 to 3 p.m. at the Fowler Family Southside Center, Room 103. The sixweek training program will be held Monday-Thursday, October 23 – December 7, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Northampton County residents interested in registering should email Heather Ehritz at hehritz@northampton.edu for the information session and questions. Participants will be qualified once the requirements are met and following the interview process.
