East Allen Supervisors want Time to review LVPC letter for Airport Road commercial park By KERI LINDENMUTH During their September 23 meeting, Joseph Plunkett, attorney representing Imperial Realty Group and manager director Tom Skeans, presented the East Allen Township Board of Supervisors with a letter from the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission. Although he and Skeans were hoping to receive a signature of approval on the letter that evening so they could move forward with sewage planning for their Airport Road warehouse, supervisors said they needed more time to review the materials, having just received them that day.
Announced in 2019, Imperial Realty is planning to develop one 245,000 square foot warehouse at Airport Road and Route 329, replacing the 16 buildings currently within the Airport Road commercial complex. The LVPC provided Skeans and developers with comments on a proposed planning module for the Department of Environmental Protection. Supervisors said they wanted more time to review the comments made by the planning commission, which would mean the letter could not be approved until October 13.
“Three weeks is a lifetime with the DEP,” said Plunkett. Although township engineer James Milot said the LVPC letter is a standard letter, “it is a board’s right to have that info in front of them.” In addition, the board added that the state’s new Act 665 plan prevents any new items from being voted on if they are not present on the night’s agenda prior to it being shared publicly. In other news, supervisors approved trick-or-treat for Friday, October 29 from 6 to 8 Continued on page 5
Updated Comprehensive Plan discussed at joint Lehigh Township meeting
By KERI LINDENMUTH For over 45 years, Coplay resident Hercules Foskolos has been collecting: original paintings, vintage furniture, Depressionera glassware, retro dining sets, crystal vases, and so much more. Now, those collections are for sale at Foskolos’s new antique and thrift store, Grandpa’s Attic, located at 1204 Main St. in Northampton (the former VFW building). Foskolos hopes there are others just like him in Northampton and beyond who appreciate these one-of-a-kind treasures.
Foskolos started collecting antiques over four decades ago when he began buying abandoned storage units. Behind those locked storage unit doors were retro furniture, original paintings by Letterman, 19th-century baby cradles, authentic Norman Rockwell dishes, vintage store signs, and lots of antique glassware, pottery, and crystal. Foskolos held on to, showed off, and admired these pieces for decades. However, he says it is time to pass these items off to new owners. Continued on page 3
By LAUREN SCHUSTER On Thursday, September 23, Lehigh Township’s Comprehensive Planning Committee held a meeting with representatives from the Board of Supervisors to discuss the updated Comprehensive Plan for the township. The Comprehensive Plan encompasses intended divisions and usages of township land. Having already presented a draft of the plan at a Board of Supervisors meeting last month, the Comprehensive Planning Committee gave an overview of the current draft before opening the floor to comments.
According to David Shulman, chairman of the Township Planning Commission, the intended goal when composing the updated plan was to maintain the rural area of the township. As the size and nature of the population has seen little change in recent years, major changes to the township will be few; Shulman added that “we will not be expanding industrial areas in any way” and that warehouses “are probably not a concern at this time.” He continued, clarifying that any expansion of commercial zones within the township would be minimal as the acreage allotted for com-
mercial purposes is limited. The only major change that will affect the township, Shulman said, is the “seminary project,” referring to the redevelopment of the Mary Immaculate Center property in Northampton. Continued on page 5

On a Crusade to Combat Loneliness at Home
Bonnie and Larry Kern Residents at Moravian Hall Square in Nazareth, PA Living at home alone is a lifestyle choice that can be hazardous to your health. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, over 30% of people age 60 and older live alone today in the United States. And of those, almost half of them experience loneliness. And while living alone doesn’t always cause loneliness, it is often the case. Loneliness can lead to severe health problems such as depression, anxiety, cognitive decline, chronic pain and fatigue…just to name a few. Loneliness can also make people feel empty and without purpose. So just imagine
how harmful loneliness and forced social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic can be for people living alone at home.
Morningstar Living, in Nazareth, Pa is on a crusade to combat loneliness among people living at home alone. If you’re an adult child, you have to play detective, to identify the warning signs that indicate your parents may need help and support living alone at home. Warning signs include weight loss, changes in personal appearance and hygiene, confusion, forgetfulness, and other cognitive issues such as dementia. These warning signs are often the result of loneliness and lack of social interaction with others. It’s a simple fact that most of us need social interaction and actually thrive when we socialize with other people. Just ask Larry and Bonnie Kern of Nazareth, PA. They both had aging parents who began experiencing health issues after living alone at home. After detecting some warning signs, they took two different approaches to solving the problem. For Bonnie’s parents, Larry and Bonnie purchased a two-family home so they could move Bonnie’s parents in with them. But as Bonnie shares, “Even the closest relationships become strained when parents need help and assistance.” So when Larry’s mother began experiencing health issues living alone at home in Florida, they decided to move her to a community that was in close proximity to their home in Belvidere, New Jersey. “We wanted her to have a built in system of socialization with others so she could thrive and be active,” comments Larry. “We began researching and visiting adult living facilities and we took my mother to visit the ones we were most impressed with. My mother selected Moravian Hall Square, Morningstar Living’s life plan community in Nazareth, and we were so thankful she did. Her life turned around almost immediately from the interaction with others who lived there. In a very short period of time, she perked up, her physical health improved dramatically, and she was always so happy to be with the friends she made at Moravian Hall Square.
When it was time for Bonnie and Larry to look at active adult communities for their retirement, they started the process of visiting different types of communities but could never find one that measured up to Moravian Hall Square. “We learned a lot about Moravian Hall Square through our many visits with my mother,” states Larry. “She was always eager to show us around the campus and tell us about the activities and fun she had living there. In fact, we wanted to be as busy as she was. Bonnie and I love the theater, the symphony, hiking, swimming, playing tennis and golf, and working out at the gym. So we moved to Moravian Hall Square in 2019. We’re busier now than we ever have been, doing the things we love in life. The professional staff who work here provide endless opportunities for education, fitness, recreation, and entertainment. Quite frankly, it’s impossible to feel isolated or alone here.” “Living at Moravian Hall Square throughout COVID-19 has been a blessing. We realize more than ever before, how vital social connection with others is to our health and well-being,” adds Bonnie. “The dining and activities, fitness, education and wellness programming we participate in each day with others who live here has enabled us to live healthier and more vibrantly than if we were living alone at home. While choosing the right community is a complex process, knowing when it’s the right time to move is the hardest decision.”

“It was time to do something,” he said. “My garage was loaded.” When the former VFW building, an impressive stone building at the bottom of Main Street, was available for rent, Foskolos believed the building with so much borough history would be the perfect spot to open his antique store. Many of the items that await shoppers inside have their own impressive history and stories to share. Shoppers who enter through the front door are greeted by a vintage elephant sign from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation. In the back is a 1923 piano, painted red and adorned with East Asian designs. To his knowledge, Foskolos says it is the only piano in the U.S. like it. Nearing 70, Foskolos says he invested nearly his entire life savings into the building. Although the store only opened in September, he has big plans. If the business is successful, he hopes he can one day expand the antique store into the building’s second floor, where he can sell more furniture and even clothing. Foskolos restores the vintage and antique furniture he finds himself before selling it. With so many shelves, nooks and crannies to explore, there’s bound to be a treasure for everyone who enters the store. Make sure to look at the walls, too, so you don’t miss many of the original antique paintings for sale. There are also shelves for Christmas and Halloween items. Foskolos says it is hard to pick a favorite item in his store, although he does like the Dale

Diana M. Fields
Diana M. Fields, 77, of Bath, passed away peacefully at her home on T h u r s d a y, Sept. 23, 2021 after a long and courageous battle with leukemia. Born on Oct. 10, 1943, in Allentown, Pa., she was the daughter of the late Michael and Marie J. (DeCarlo) Nicolini. Diana and her husband, Robert R. Fields, observed their 59th wedding anniversary in July. She was a 1961 graduate of Northampton High School. She worked as a sewing machine operator at Mary Fashion Co., Bath, until retiring.

p.m. Residents who would like to participate in trick-or-treat should turn their porch lights on that evening. Those who do not should keep them off. Although surrounding municipalities have opted to have their trick-or-treat on October 31, Green says this decision was not taken lightly. “We will take flack for the 29th or the 31st,” he said. “We have never had a more contested item for the Board here,” he added with a laugh. In addition, during the meeting, the board thanked the township’s summer camp counselors. With the summer camp now drawn to a close, counselors were relieved of their duties and have returned to school. Supervisors like Don Heiney said the positive impact the counselors played on the camp’s young children was evident. Everyone, he said, was enjoying themselves when he visited over the summer. Finally, supervisors are now reviewing the findings of fact prepared by counsel representing both the township and Rock Lehigh Valley in the long-going curative amendment hearing. It is expected that the board will deliberate during their October 13 meeting, although it is not known whether a decision will be made. These findings will be released online to the public. The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be held on October 13 at 7 p.m.

Following the discussion of the plan’s latest draft, the Planning Committee opened the floor to concerns, questions, or suggested improvements. Phil Gogel from the Township Supervisory Board voiced concerns about the need for more commercial interests that could generate revenue for the township. Gogel questioned whether it would be in the interest of the township to potentially expand commercial districts to build lodging areas. However, Charlie Schmael, a consultant from Urban Research and Development Corporation, added there are “other ways of accomplishing [these goals] without rezoning.” Having presented the proposed plan to the Board of Supervisors and to the public and received comments, the Comprehensive Planning Committee will continue to discuss necessary changes. Overall, the finalization of the new Comprehensive Plan
will be the first step of many; the final draft then needs to be approved by the Board of Supervisors and granted funding for any changes to be put into effect. Following the plan’s approval and implementation, any necessary changes to township zoning ordinances may be addressed. The Comprehensive Planning Committee will meet next on Thursday, October 28 at 6:30 p.m., and the Township Planning Commission will meet Monday, October 11 at 6 p.m. All meetings will take place in the Lehigh Township Municipal Building.

Moore Township Planning discusses Land development and Subdivision plans By CHRISTINA SANTO At their September 27 meeting, the Moore Township Planning Commission discussed a land development plan from Wheel Collision Center and two major subdivision plans. Wheel Collision Center is proposing a 6,000 square-foot storage unit in the back of the existing property on Moorestown Drive. The applicant questioned if the 20-foot wide buffering yard was required on the southern edge of the property; they stated that there is some buffering where there are currently residential properties. However, the planning commission has no jurisdiction over buffer requirements, and the applicant would have to ask for a variance from the Zoning Hearing Board. The property also marks the transition between the industrial and residential zones. Two subdivision plans were discussed at the meeting as well. The first was for Loren Arthofer. According to the May 4 Board of Supervisors meeting, the proposed plan is to split a 20-acre property into two 10acre building lots. The planning commission approved a motion to move the plan forward to the Board of Supervisors with the conditions set forth by Keystone Engineering and Moore Township’s sewage enforcement officer. The other major subdivision was for Nico DelSerro. DelSerro’s plan proposes to split a 56-acre lot into one 39-acre building lot and one 15- acre parcel. The property has previously undergone three successive minor subdivisions, which according to township subdivision and land development ordinances (SALDO), means it should proceed as a major subdivision. However, the last minor subdivision was 32 years ago, and the applicant is asking that it be reviewed as a minor subdivision. Eventually, the planning commission decided to approve a motion to grant deferral of the SALDO requirements that go along with a major subdivision, with the understanding that if either of the properties are further subdivided and/or developed in the future, the entire stretch of road must be improved in accordance with township standards at that time. Also discussed at the meeting was an update on the Southmoore Golf Course project. Kaplin Stewart is now representing Water’s Edge at Wind
Gap, the project’s developer. Discussion on the plan was moved to next month’s meeting to allow the representative to review Keystone Engineering’s extensive comments. Further, the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission sent a letter saying the warehouse is not a good fit for Route 512 as it is too far from Routes 22 and 33. The Moore Township Planning Commission will hold their next meeting on Monday, October 25 at 7 p.m. at the Klecknersville Rangers Volunteer Fire Company, located at 2718 Mountain View Dr.

By CATHERINE STROH Last Thursday, September 23, a group of 30 cyclists stopped by Nazareth Ambulance Corps. The cyclists began their journey that day in Stroudsburg, and were on their way to King of Prussia, participating in the East Coast division of the National EMS Memorial Bike Ride. Last Thursday’s 90-mile ride was just a leg of the East Coast’s journey from Boston, Massachusetts to Washington D.C. The cyclists began their ride in Massachusetts on September 18 and completed their ride on September 25 in Washington D.C. According to their website, “The National EMS Memorial Bike Ride, Inc. honors Emergency Medical Services personnel by organizing and implementing long distance cycling events that memorialize and celebrate the lives of those who serve everyday, those who have become sick or
injured while performing their duties, and those who have died in the line of duty. The National EMS Memorial Bike Ride seeks to recognize the sacrifices of EMS personnel who are killed in the line of duty, who become sick or injured during EMS service, or who died of various causes but who left an impact on their local — or the greater — EMS community." Along their journey, participating cyclists stop at emergency services locations, such as fire services or emergency medical services, to use the restrooms and grab some water and a snack before pedaling back out on their route. “As an organization, we were happy to offer the riders our building facilities, water and snacks as a small token of our appreciation and support of their Continued on page 11

Gab Over by Pete The Fence G. Ossip
homenewspa.com. The deadline isn't until Oct. 25 so you've got plenty of time...I'm a week behind on some of my info as I just didn't have time last week to get this in the issue. Is September just flying by for anyone else? I can barely keep up. The Newburg Inn was recently demolished to widen the intersection. There's no denying that the intersection could have benefited from being widened, but it seems like such a shame to demolish all that history of the building just for a wider street. Oh well it's done now I guess...A few weeks ago there was a motorcycle ride to support police, over 100 bikers participated. That's alotta bikers! Speaking of
bikers, last week a bunch of cyclists stopped by the Nazareth Ambulance Corps on their way to King of Prussia. They biked 90 miles that day. Can you imagine? I gotta call it quits after about 5... It has been announced that Moravian Historical Society's Harvest Fest is being cancelled, I think on accounta lack of participation from vendors. They're still going to have the annual Christmas in Nazareth though. The Governor Wolf Historical Society's annual Christmas House Tour has been cancelled though again this year. They are, however, moving forward with their Annual History Holiday Festival, more on that later...Nazareth's Restaurant Week just ended recently, Bath has one coming up soon though, more on that later...Hammerhead Lounge out of Hampton Lanes is now open for business. Hampton Lanes will not be open for some time yet though...Chapman Borough is having a community yard sale this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., hopefully the weather cooperates for them...Apparently last Sunday night there were shots fired in Nazareth. It was in the
area of West Mauch Chunk and Kohl streets. Shell casings could be seen on the street. No injuries were reported though thankfully. Also, I heard a suspicious package was discovered last week in the Bath Borough; people were told to avoid the area of 248 Old Forge to Chestnut and W. Main from Old Forge to Race St., the area of Monocacy Creek Park. Unfortunately that's all I know right now, not even certain that it was a suspicious package. Anywho, I've been gabbin' for too long so I'll end things here, cya next time!

House approves Flood Bill to Extend program Combating Opioid abuse
Submitted by DAN MASSING The state House in Harrisburg approved through an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote a bill introduced by local state Rep.
