By SAVANNAH BROWN

An Eagle Scout Court of Hon or ceremony was held on Sunday, September 25 for Scouts BSA

Troop 50’s three newest Eagle Scouts, Mason Kessler, Elias Decker, and James Kornhausl, at Salem United Church of Christ in Bath.

All three Scouts completed projects to obtain their Eagle rank. Elias Decker worked on redoing the cakewalk at Salem UCC in Bath. Mason Kessler built and installed three food blessing boxes, one in Easton and two in Saucon Valley. James Ko

rnhausl rehabilitated the wooden train at the Ironton Rail Trail.

Scout Cody Kessler welcomed everyone and moderated the cer emony, sharing: “This is an occa sion for pride and joy, as well as a time for serious reflection. The Eagle is the highest recognition that Scouting offers the Scouts. It is earned through the advance ment program and only a small percentage of boys who begin Scouting receive this honor. The wearer of the Eagle’s Award is the epitome of Scouting’s best efforts and beliefs.”

Northampton Borough Council Considers fire tax

By KERI LINDENMUTH

With the Northampton Volun teer Fire Department faced with increasing costs and an impend ing need for new fire trucks, the Northampton Borough Council has started to consider whether it is time for a fire tax to help sup port the department.

Councilwoman Judy Kutzler started the discussion during council’s September 22 meeting.

“We need assistance…by the entire borough populace,” she said. “Many folks and corpora tions have no idea that our de partment is only partially fund ed…[and] staffed by professional volunteers.”

In 2023, the fire department is expected to pay $152,176 in truck payments. It also costs the department $6,000 to equip one firefighter. In the industry, turn over is high.

“We are blessed if we keep one firefighter a year,” said Council woman Kutzler.

Yearly, the fire department

sends brochures to residents ask ing for a donation. Response rates, however, are low.

Kutzler said a one-mill tax would bring in $45 a year from each property owner, ensuring landlords who live outside the borough are contributing.

“I want people who are out of town, who own these properties, to pay up,” she said.

A one-mill tax now, she added, would also prevent a significant tax increase ten years from now, something the city of Allentown is seeing.

Councilman Ronald Glassic commended Councilwoman Kutzler for speaking up. He said it would be easier for the borough and fire department to secure loans for new vehicles with tax money coming in. Glassic also said the borough should go after the large corporations in the area for funding.

Councilman Anthony Lop sonzski, Sr. agreed.

“This is something that needs

to come to light and come to life,” he said. “We are not doing this for today…we are doing this for [our] grandchildren.”

With funding for volunteer fire departments difficult to secure across the area, Kutzler believes the county will soon move to a regional volunteer fire depart ment. However, with the proper funding and equipment, the headquarters may end up in the borough.

Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst said such a tax has been on his mind. He said a decision is already on October’s agenda for a fire equipment fund. Council will

Pastor Kaye Lentz provided the ceremony’s invocation with a prayer to celebrate the commit ment and hard work of the three scouts and asking God for his blessing and “to continue to walk with them as they take the next steps in becoming the Scouts and the people You desire them to be.”

Amy Decker, mother of Eagle Scout recipient Elias Decker, then read a poem titled “It’s Only a Pin,” which spoke of the jour neys for these “Knights of Today” that has guided them along their right path and how their hearts beat true below the wings of their Eagle Scout pins.

Scoutmaster Kirk Decker, and father of Elias Decker, expressed,

“Gentlemen, you’ve heard me say this many times, there is no place I’d rather be than right here right now. The three of you started Cub Scouts as first graders and now they’re seniors in high school and Eagle Scouts. We shared a lot of memories along the way.”

Scoutmaster Decker shared fond memories of each of the boys throughout the years and expressed that there is one thing that he prays each of them get to experience, which is becoming a Scoutmaster.

“Never be shy about what you have accomplished. The world needs you and others like you,” said Decker.

Next, the parents of Mason Kessler, Elias Decker, and James Kornhausl pinned their son’s Ea gle Medal above their left pocket flaps and the Scouts presented their mother and father with a pin as well.

Ryan Rupp, cousin of Elias

Decker and Troop 50 Eagle Scout, presented the Eagle Charge. Rupp stated that 20 years ago, almost to the day, he was presented with his own Eagle Scout pin.

“You have been judged by the Boy Scouts of America of being worthy of the highest rank in this great movement. All who know you rejoice in your achievement. Your position, as you know, is one of honor and responsibility. You are a marked man. I charge you, to be among those who dedicate their skills and ability to the com mon good. Build America on the solid foundation of clean living, honest work, unselfish citizen ship, and reverence for God; and, whatever others may do, you will leave behind a record of which every other Scout may be justly proud,” Rupp shared.

The ceremony had four guest speakers. Former Troop 50 Scoutmaster and President of the Northampton School Board, James Chuss, congratulated the Scouts and all the friends and family members that helped each of the Scouts get to where they are today.

“Scouting builds memory and knowledge and lasting friend ships. There is quite a history in Troop 50 and it’s something to be proud of,” said Chuss.

Pa. State Representatives Ann Flood and Zach Mako present ed the three Eagle Scouts with citations from the House of Representatives from the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania that highlighted the leadership roles and community service that each of the Scouts completed and achieved.

“The skills that these guys have acquired are going to carry them through college, tech school,

or whatever they choose to do. These skills are grounded within you, and you will carry them with you for the rest of your lives,” said Flood.

“This sets you up for suc cess in life. It teaches you to set larger goals and smaller goals that you achieve along the way,” said Mako. “This is the only good ci tation you will ever get from the state, so cherish it,” Mako joked.

A representative from Sena tor Mario Scavello’s office also presented the three Eagle Scouts with Senate citations and shared, “Your determination and self-dis cipline are going to carry you for ward in life. We are all proud of you. Just like you’ve had mentors in Scouting that you’ve looked up to, you’re now going to become those mentors and other Scouts will look up to you.”

Reverend Cliff Herring pro vided the benediction prayer and congratulated Mason Kes sler, Elias Decker, and James Kornhausl on their hard work and dedication. Senior Patrol Leader Brayden Eckhart invited all Scouts into a Troop Circle and led the Scouts in a closing Scout Benediction and the audience congratulated Mason Kessler, Elias Decker, and James Korn hausl on their achievement as newly awarded Eagle Scouts.

A Moth’s sAlvAtion

C.E. McIlhaney Jr., 2015

The moth was a determined little critter, In flutter outside my window at night.

I wonder what attraction he considered

By the glowing orb within his sight.

I doubt he sought an open fire

Or a wayward drop of sun. Yet, of intention he so de sired,

I can only think of one.

As though within the lamplit room,

Might be salvation found By the light that split the gloom, A beacon to Elysian grounds.

And deemed the pane the “Pearly Gate,”

Whereby near the eternal light,

Thought I was St. Peter in patient wait, He saw through the window

closed down tight.

Next morn he rested there still.

I opened the sash to let air inside.

Slowly he walked to the in side sillAnd died.

Easton park to benefit From $100,000 state grant

Submitted by TOM ANDREWS

State Rep. Robert Freeman announced the city of Easton was awarded a $100,000 Gre enways, Trails and Recreation grant for Phase 2 rehabilitation of Vanderveer Park located in the city.

“This grant is good news for the city of Easton and the West Ward neighborhood in particu lar. It will bring important im provements to Vanderveer Park, which is enjoyed by so many of the students at Paxinosa Elemen tary school and neighborhood residents and provides needed green space to the West Ward. It’s always nice to see state funding going to worthwhile recreational amenities that so greatly ben efit a community and enhance the quality of life in a neighbor hood,” Freeman said.

Phase 2 of the project will in clude site preparation on the west side of the park to ready the site for the larger greenspace. This new greenspace will be five times larger than the existing greens pace and will include an ADA walking path, trash cans, benches and native shade trees and bush es. Phase 2 will also include six bollards and ADA ramps for the

crosswalk to Paxinosa Elementary to allow for safer crossing for stu dents when they use the park dur ing the school day.

Freeman said the grant was ap proved by the Commonwealth Financing Authority, an indepen dent agency of the Department of Community and Economic Development that administers Pennsylvania’s economic stimulus packages.

Moore Township Zoning Hearing Board continues cross-examination During Water’s Edge appeal

By SAVANNAH BROWN

The Moore Township Zoning Hearing Board met Wednesday, September 21 to continue the Water’s Edge at Wind Gap ap peal. The ongoing appeal that began in June challenges the substantive validity of various sections of the township’s zoning ordinance and zoning officer de terminations.

During the previous meet

ing, Township Solicitor David Backenstoe conducted a direct examination of Township Engi neer Kevin Horvath as the town ship’s first witness. The hearing resumed with the applicant’s representation, Attorney Marc B. Kaplin, cross-examining Hor vath.

Kaplin began by asking Hor vath to confirm that the Key stone Consulting Engineers re

view letters dated Sept. 23, 2021 and Jan. 24, 2022 both state the same comment that the applicant needs to provide detailed infor mation to the township at the time of application of the zon ing permit relative to the types of activities to be conducted on the site, hours of operation, times of delivery, etc.

Horvath confirmed that he did.

Kaplin presented that Engineer Stephen M. Walsh provided a re sponse letter from Dynamic En gineering Consultants on Dec. 8, 2021, which stated that the requisite information will be sup plied at the time of the zoning permit and that a covenant note will be added to the record plan consistent with this requirement as a promise of future action.

Kaplin established that his client does not have to obtain a zoning permit until he has a ten ant to occupy the warehouse and that the applicant has submitted as much information as they pos sibly can at this time in the devel opment process based on general warehouse use.

Based on the zoning officer’s interpretation of the zoning ordi nance, Kaplin alleged that his cli ent will never be able to develop a warehouse on their property unless they have a tenant. Kaplin asked Horvath what additional information he would require. Horvath responded that he

would need to sit down and dis cuss this with the applicant. Kap lin claimed that Horvath should have called Walsh to obtain the necessary information to satisfy the requirement.

Backenstoe objected on the ba sis that it presumes that the town ship engineer has an obligation to call the applicant, when gener ally, the applicant responds to the township engineer’s letter.

Kaplin established that Walsh filed a parking and loading com pliance plan, which demonstrates that the proposed development meets the minimum require ments of the zoning ordinance. Kaplin presented that Walsh’s Dec. 8, 2021 response letter ad dresses that “parking, loading, and staging will be refined based on the tenant’s needs at the time of zoning permit, which is consis tent with [Horvath’s] direction to supply information at the time of zoning permit.”

Kaplin established that the ap plicant meets the requirements for parking, loading, and staging spaces, but that the applicant can not determine the exact number of required spaces until the tenant is known in regard to what their truck traffic and number of em ployees will be.

Kaplin expressed that the park ing requirements based on square feet versus number of employees

is inconsistent and therefore the applicant cannot meet the re quirements of both at this time.

Horvath asserted that the re quirements are not mutually ex clusive.

Next, Kaplin pointed to sec tion 200-35 of the zoning ordi nance, subsection VI Environ mental Protection Standards, which states: “The purpose of this section is to protect and preserve the environment and the charac ter of the township through the preservation of natural resources including but not limited to wetlands, floodplains, floodplain soils, woodlands, steep slopes, and riparian carvers.”

Kaplin established that this ordinance discusses protecting natural resources and does not include man-made resources. Kaplin argued that section 20035.A.3: Natural Resource Iden tification and Preservation Stan dards only applies to natural resources.

Horvath confirmed that the or dinance does not indicate whether the steep slopes on the golf course occurred naturally or were manmade. Horvath explained that his interpretation does not exclude man-made slopes under the en

Barry Bickert

vironmental protection stan dards and that he has not seen any evidence that indicates all of the slopes on the plan shown in gray are man-made steep slopes created by the golf course, aside from Walsh’s testimony.

Next, Kaplin addressed the placement of the 100-foot raised berm buffer yard requirement along the lot line. Horvath testi fied that the raised berm buffer yard can be located anywhere between the building and the lot

line. Therefore, Horvath iden tified that if the buffer yard ex tends 100 feet, it can begin far ther in or away from the property line as long as it runs parallel to the lot line.

Kaplin argued that the 100foot berm requirement from the lot line would position the berm where the woodlands cur rently are, which would destroy the woodlands, but Horvath ex pressed that putting the berm be hind the woodlands would be in compliance with the ordinance.

During Backenstoe’s redirect examination of Horvath, he es tablished that the applicant never

provided a response or clarifica tion pursuant to two questions following the Jan. 24, 2022 re view letter that would have assist ed Horvath in his review process prior to the hearing.

Following, Backenstoe estab lished that the definition of steep slopes does not indicate that man-made steep slopes are not applicable to environmental pro tection standards, and therefore, does not exclude them per Hor vath’s testimony.

During Kaplin’s recross-exam ination of Horvath, he alleged that after slopes are changed, they are no longer in their natural con dition, which he argued would exclude them from environmen tal protection standards.

Zoning Board member Zacha ry Zeitner asked Horvath whether something man-made becomes a natural feature or resource once it is developed. Horvath confirmed that this was his interpretation.

Zoning Board Solicitor Chad DiFelice asked Kaplin what the applicant plans to do if the future tenant has higher levels of truck traffic or employees than previ ously estimated, and whether the applicant would agree to a restric tion on the number of trucks and employees allowed.

Kaplin expressed that the appli cant would redo the calculations for parking, loading, and staging spaces in compliance with the ordinance when a tenant is estab lished.

DiFelice also asked for clarifi cation on the applicant’s position on several items. Kaplin asserted that the applicant’s position on man-made steep slopes is that they are man-made and not natu ral, therefore, man-made steep slopes should not be applicable to the environmental protection standards because they did not occur naturally. Kaplin also clari fied that the applicant’s position is that they cannot meet both the buffer yard and woodland requirements at the same time and requested a variance so they would not be required to build the berm.

Kaplin requested that he be al lowed to prepare proposed find ings of fact, proposed conclusions of law, and to submit a memoran dum of law after the next hearing, which the board was amenable to. Therefore, after the remaining testimony and public comment at the next meeting, both par ties will be provided 30 days to submit their findings of fact and conclusions of law to the board. Then, after the next meeting and the 30-day period for the attor neys to provide findings of fact and proposed conclusions of law, the Zoning Hearing Board will reconvene to render their deci sion. The next meeting will re convene for additional testimony and public comment on Thurs day, October 27 at 6 p.m. at the Klecknersville Rangers Volunteer Fire Company, located at 2718 Mountain View Dr., Bath.

Earlier this week the Bath Republican Club presented the Bath Volunteer Fire Dept. with a donation of $7,500, made possible from this year’s weekend fundraising event held in July. The Bath Republican Club thanks all of their members and the Bath community that donated to make this possible.

Gab Over The Fence by Pete G. Ossip

Welp, it’s definitely not summer anymore, that’s for sure! It’s like we flipped a switch out there on the first day of fall and it’s been brisk ever since. Might haveta turn the heat on a little earlier than usual this year. It’s an excuse to make soup though, right? Once again we’ll feature soup recipes from readers so if you wanna submit a soup recipe, email it to cstroh@home newspa.com…Congrats to the winner of the September photo contest, Carl Fischer Jr. with his photo of the moth that looks like a lobster! We received a record amount of photo submissions this time, looks like people love insects! It was a tough decision, there were so many great photos we received. Lotsa praying man tises, bees, butterflies, flies, caterpillars and stick bugs. Thanks to all that submitted their photos, next month’s theme is Autumn with a deadline of Oct. 24…Over the weekend there was an elk missing in Lehigh Town ship. That’s not something you hear everyday now is it? Luckily the elk was found safe a few days later and was given a lift home back to its farm… That sure was a close game between the Bucs and the Packers on Sunday. In the last two minutes the Bucs finally started gettin’ somewhere but they just couldn’t make it happen. I bet Tom Brady was in a mood after that game! Cowboys came away with a win against the Giants. They seem to be doin’ pretty good in Prescott’s absence. Thought this was pretty nice- on Sun day almost 400 people left Nazareth in busloads to watch their former Blue Eagle foot ball star Jahan Dotson, now on the Washington Com manders, play against the Eagles at FedEx Field. Eagles whooped ‘em though, they’re on a roll so far…Okay gotta end things here and hit the road, cya next time!
