Lehigh Township to Advertise Solar Ordinances for Adoption By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Two ordinances – one for solar energy and another for an update on storm water management – will be advertised for adoption, the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors said at their Sept. 11 meeting. The proposed solar ordinance was discussed as it affects residential use. It would set a limit of 18 kwh or 1,000 sq. ft. for an accessory solar system for residences. That would be the norm for a single family home. Anything over that would exceed the limit, and be classified as a business such as MetroTech, which sought to install a solar array at the Lehigh Elementary School. In addition to advertising the proposed ordinance, it will also be on the township’s web page. The other proposed ordinance on storm water management is simply an update to comply with state regulations. Other Matters • Last month, Larry Turoczy of Lehigh Engineering questioned about sewage for a property the company owns. Act 537 would have to be updated for Pa. DEP to allow a sewer module for that commercial district. As it is now, the property does not have public sewerage. Lehigh Township adopted the Act 537 Plan in 1973. If it is updated, the township will need reimbursement of at

least 50% from the developer. • Township Engineer Phillip Malitsch discussed a 15cent per ton “tipping” fee by McAuliffe Hauling to deal with some of the problems on Timberline Road. Solicitor David Backenstoe will work out an agreement with McAuliffe on the fee that would go toward road improvements. • The Supervisors voted to have Buchert-Horn of Center Valley provide a master concept plan for municipal building needs in the township so that they are done in a coordinated manner. The cost: $10,900. • Conditional approval was given to the lot consolidation plan for 496 S. Cottonwood Rd., along with one waiver, and the lot line adjustment for the Dale Ritter minor subdivision on Blue Mountain Drive, with waivers. • MS4 is a set of new regulations by DEP on watersheds, that supervisors chairman Darryl Snover views as more “reshuffling of paperwork” by a state agency that only costs the township money. It requires a permit renewal for 2013. • Township Manager Alice Rehrig reported on applying to Monroe County for three gaming grants, costing $100 each, that if received could pay for a truck, street sweeper and energy management. Mrs. Rehrig is also getting in expense figures from the various township departments as preparations are made for the 2013 township budget. • Supervisor Dell Grove said he is collecting ads to help pay for the new township newsletter. He suggested that the Continued on page 9
Neighbors Continue Protest Over Quarry Fill in Allen Tp.
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Larry Oberly and several of his neighbors along Atlas Road returned to the Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting on Thursday in regard to their concerns about the Krapf property. Oberly read portions of a five-page statement of issues they have with the filling operations going on at an abandoned quarry. Chairman Paul Balliet told Oberly that Solicitor Lincoln Treadwell would review the questions, and the solicitor said he would meet with Oberly over their concerns. The quarry was there long before the zoning ordinance came into existence, Treadwell told him. He added that if the discussion is to take place at a public meeting, he will bring all his records. The neighbors told the board that the issue has been dragging on for years and the Krapf’s have been doing it without a permit. The
quarry and surrounding land was purchased by Howard J. Krapf/Hanover Lines in 1979. At the time of purchase, 20 acres of more than 74 acres were zoned industrial and the remainder conservation. Oberly asserted that Pa. DEP found violations regarding the use of the quarry. By 2003, he said, all the conservation zones were changed and the 74 acres are now zoned industrial. His report showed that in April 2004, “Total Recycling Corp.” was created along with “Impact Environmental.” He said the purpose was to create and develop a clean fill acceptance plan for classifying construction and demolition debris and/or soil as “clean fill” for the Atlas quarry. One resident asked, “Why is it taking so long to fill the quarry, and why so much noise?” He claimed that it occurs even between 2 and 4 a.m. as trucks come and go. The neighbors asserted that their home values are being affected by dumping stuff
from New York in the quarry. Balliet said that he believes that the only thing that will satisfy the people is a cease and desist order. “We’re spinning our wheels,” Oberly said. Supervisor William Holmes remarked that it would be good to get Howard and Kay Krapf to the township meeting, and then the neighbors could vent their frustrations. Again Oberly commented, “Why a zoning ordinance if people aren’t required to get a permit?” Three persons not connected with the issue were asked if a permit is required for all businesses to open, and the answer was “yes.” A resident said, “The township allowed this to start and they will have to stop it,” asserting that there are noises and vibrations during the day as well as at night. Richard Kreglow asked Treadwell if he were in this situation, what would he do? Continued on page 2

Treadwell will bring his records and the issue will be aired again on Oct. 16. Other Matters • A resident objected to the
supervisors voting to put the open space referendum on the November ballot, when it had been voted down in a previous election. He claimed that the open space referendum will benefit a few people at the taxpayers’ expense, and called upon the board to change their minds and not

put it on the ballot. • Joe Jones, who purchased the Wuchter farm, wondered how he could access it from Stagecoach Rd. past a culde-sac. He said he wants to build his “little bit of heaven” on the 100-150 ft. that is a paper street. Jones will talk to a neighbor about his plans. At Holmes’ suggestion, Jones will make a sketch of his proposal and bring it to the Planning Commission meeting the third Monday in November. • Two women asked for permission to block off Gray St. for a block party on Saturday, Oct. 13. The decision was delayed until Sept. 17. • Rex Setzer of Buckingham Dr. complained of speeding, and asked about speed bumps for the street. While State Police may patrol, speed bumps are illegal. The board told him people don’t stop at stop signs. “It’s a problem everywhere.” Speed humps could be used, but engineer Brien Kocher said, “If you [the board] do it on one road there will be requests for more roads.” •Supervisor Bruce Frack
said he was at the scene of an accident at the airport when an SUV ran over four people, killing two, at a bus stop along a public road. The one man, who was on the job for his first day, had every bone in his body broken. •Setzer also has a problem with RCN over a driveway, saying the cable company was not complying with their franchise agreement. An RCN truck also reportedly broke Verizon lines on Aug. 30. The township will determine if the franchise agreement was violated. • The supervisors will have a budget workshop on Oct. 15. It may include a dump truck purchase under state contract, but Holmes saw no need for it. • It was revealed that Allen Township didn’t apply for a gaming grant as so many other municipalities did and received $27,500. • The Allen Twsp. Vol. Fire Co. August report showed: 62.05 alarm hours; 113 training hours; 19 alarms (1 ambulance assist, 1 auto accident, 3 brush fires, 1 control burn report, 3 dwelling fires, 1 fuel spill, 1 gas leak, 1 rescue, 1 bomb scare, 2 structure fires, 1 unreported control burn, 2 vehicle fires, 1 wire in roadway).

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip We’ve had a nice stretch of great weather, so we were due for some rain. It came down pretty good on Tuesday, so it evened things out, and kept the grass green. This Saturday, the 22nd, is the first day of fall. It has been a bit chilly of late, so we got used to it. Now it’s time for the leaves to change all their colors. It’s a nice time of year. . . . Lots of apples, peaches and the last crop of corn were at vendors’ stands at the farmers market in town last Friday. Two more Fridays and their season will be over. Hats off to the organizers for bringing in all the good vendors with plenty of nice things to buy and good, fresh fruits and veggies to eat this summer! We’ll be looking for the same next summer. . . . I hear Dave Shaver was the first bowler to roll a big 300 game this season down at the Bath Legion bowling alleys. Congrats to him! There are some mighty
fine bowlers in the Legion leagues, and they’re having lots of fun, according to Marty Beal. Elmira and Pete aren’t in that class, but we still have fun, too, trying to beat each other . . . . It was good to see in last week’s paper about those Cub Scouts from Danielsville raising the American flag over at the Moore Township school. We always need to teach the young’uns about history, whether things happened that were good or bad. They learned about 9/11 and how tragic that was for our country and our people11 years ago. . . . Nice crowd down at the Lutheran church festival last Saturday. I hear the U.C.C. church in town is gonna have a festival, too, although not as big as what the Lutherans have had the last few years. . . . The Phillies sure took a licking down in Houston with those Astros, so their wild card hopes are really slipping away. So all we can do now it root for ‘em to
get some wins over the Mets, Braves and Nationals for a little satisfaction, and then wait for the wild card games, playoffs and World Series. . . . I hear there’s gonna be a ribbon cutting over at Gracedale on the first of October to celebrate the opening of a new short term rehabilitation unit. With folks living to an older age now, there are times when we need rehabbing, and this is one way it may help. . . . Word this week that Betty Rohn has passed away. She lived to a good age, the daughter of Clarence “Stiffy” Lerch and Mazie Lerch. Our sympathies to the family. . . . The “Hearts” gang had their summer once-a-month games this week, and are anxious to get back to their weekly schedule every Wednesday down at the Legion, even when “Pee Wee’’ Demko has early dismissal. Clark Smith and Harvey Haupt will see who gets the biggest cake, bun or donut, but don’t tell Mary Ann or Janice. . . Highway crews are still doing their patch job down along 512. . . .Gotta go rake some leaves. See ya!

Natural Perspectives For the Health-Minded Individual DR. GLENN CLEARIE DC www.drclearie.com
Mid-Life Health
I have been diligently searching for the key to health and longevity. This bold statement shouldn’t surprise anyone. In fact, that’s what you should expect of me and every doctor who has taken an oath to help others. What may surprise you is that I haven’t found it yet and nobody else has either. Yes, quite clearly I understand that every person has their view, their perspective as to what is the sure fire way to be healthy and to be around a long time. Recently, I heard the oldest living person, a female who is 116 years old, say that ‘minding her own business’ has helped her live such a long life. I can’t honestly say what will keep you or me living until we are her age. I can’t honestly tell you what can keep us
living longer than this week. I will say that my mother knows and she told me when I was younger, to look both ways before crossing the street, eat my vegetables, and get off the couch and go outside and play. I think she is right. A recent summary of a study on longevity and chronic health issues has reason to give us hope even if we presently aren’t the picture of perfect health. Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center and The Cooper Institute have concluded that becoming physically fit in our 30’s, 40’s and 50’s increases the odds of us living longer AND aging healthier. To the point, we will add years to our life and life to our years. The researchers specifically spoke of reduced risks

for congestive heart failure, Alzheimer’s disease, and colon cancer. This information should be welcomed by all and acted upon. Essentially, this is a great reason to decide NOW to make healthy changes in your lifestyle. If you are in your fifties and want to be healthy and clear minded when you are in your eighties you had better get off the couch and go outside and play! I have been on a walking kick lately. It doesn’t give me that feeling of accomplishment that wrestling, martial arts, or long distance running did. It also doesn’t give me the same wear and tear. Candidly, I don’t won’t to be thrown, kicked, punched, or fall into a ditch on the side of the road anymore. I still have a few more times that will surely occur yet I’ve learned and continuing to learn a lot about an aging body and the nurturing it needs at different stages. I want to have this body and mind stay as healthy as it can for as long as it can. If there is a remote possibility that moderate exercise now can improve my odds of seeing my great-grandchildren I am going to consider it. Mid-life health just isn’t for us; it’s also for those we love around us. Ask your children, spouse, and friends if they want you healthier. Odd question to ask but the answer will be yes. Healthier means more active, sound, fortified. Yes to golf. Yes to shopping. Yes to picnics, to vacations, to excursions, to strolls in the park, to watching the grandchildren, to going to school plays, and a host of other things that many of us may be taking for granted. So I ask you to focus, clean up your diet, and exercise. Your future self will thank you. “Natural Perspectives” is a health commentary only and does not claim to diagnose and/or make treatment recommendations. Always seek the advice of your health care professional.

Cancer Unit Seeks Drivers
Imagine being diagnosed with cancer, but you have no way to get to your treatments. Patients in the Lehigh Valley turn to the American Cancer Society’s Road to Recovery program which provides free transportation to and from treatment. The request for rides has grown to an unprecedented high since July. There are not enough drivers to satisfy these requests which put patients right back where they started – without a ride. Many drivers are needed Monday through Friday, mornings and afternoons. If you have a vehicle, a safe driving record, and some free time, you can give a cancer patient a fighting chance. Training is provided. To learn more
about Road to Recovery or to volunteer, please call Karen Schiavone at 610-921-2329.

Grow Your Small Business “Get Up” By CAROL RITTER
I was so fortunate to grow up with really cool parents. I did not think so at the time but soon learned they were unique in the fact that the lessons I learned were completely transferable into my personal and business life. Do you have a laundry list of failures? Have you made excuses or launched the BIG COVER UP when things go wrong? And do you have a even bigger laundry list of excuses when you just can’t get it right? Where did you learn how to deal with failure? Most of my audiences will say they learned it from their parents. If I ask you how you feel when you fail, you might say: lousy, sad, depressed, or even paralyzed. Or just may-
be you might say energized, powerful, willing to try again, learned what went wrong and fixed it. Two different mind sets both emotional but one can be your ticket to stardom - ENERGIZED! I don’t know how anyone can have a business without failing at sometime. When we first named our company we knew what it meant but the rest of the world didn’t. So every time our brand was mentioned or identified 50 questions came with it. Failure, lesson learned. Hired the wrong person, wonderful in an interview, unable to perform. Failure, the lesson learned was to change the way we interviewed. Tried to sell something we thought was great and no one bought it. Failure, lesson learned and on and on. My dad used these two simple words when we put on the sob story as kids, “Get Up” try
it again, it’s not the end of the world, you will do better the next time, let me help you, etc. Do you see what happened with those two words? “Get Up” he taught me that failure is not the end of the world and, even more important, he never tried to blame someone else. That lesson is simple, concise and forever embedded in my mind. The next time you fail at something and you will, “Get UP” no cover - ups, no excuses, no self beat downs. You may even find a fascinating lesson in that failure and make changes in your business that might last forever.

Parkland zips Northampton, While Nazareth edges Liberty For two quarters neither team scored on Friday night, but Parkland had a pair of touchdowns in both the third and fourth quarters, while Northampton’s Konkrete Kids failed to reach the end zone at all. The result: Parkland 28, Northampton 0 to dispappoint local fans at Al Erdosy Stadium. That second half flurry was led by quarterback Tim Baranek, and receivers Jarel and Jarey Elder. Maranek rushed for two of the touchdowns, carrying the ball for 85 yards. The Konkrete Kids will travel to Notre Dame Green Pond this Friday, taking on Becahi, as they hope to improve on their current 1 and 2 record. As for Nazareth’s Blue Eagles, well they had a tough opponent on Friday, but finally prevailed at Bethlehem School District Stadium to edge Liberty High School’s Hurricanes, 49-42.
Nazareth had what they thought was a comfortable lead of 35-14, but suddenly Liberty exploded for three third quarter touchdowns, and it was 35-35. That tie was broken when Nazareth quarterback Parish Simmons used a play fake to Jordan Gray, and hit receiver Alex Tommies instead, and he went 55 yards for a TD. Simmons had 161 yards in two rushing touchdowns, while passing for another 167 yards. Gray had 241 rushing yards and four TD’s as Nazareth posted an early season record of 3 and 0, to carry on their defending champion play in the Lehigh Valley Conference. Altogether on Friday they had 386 yards rushing and 553 yards to beat the Liberty team that now is 0-3 on the season. Tomorrow night, Nazareth hosts Whitehall.

FEMA, Christian Springs Rd. Topics at Lower Nazareth Tp. By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Two subjects had the most attention from the Lower Nazareth Township Board of Supervisors at their meeting on Thursday night, Sept. 13 – the Federal Emergency Management Agency change of flood zones and the re-paving of Christian Springs Road. Township Manager Timm Tenges told the board that
FEMA has updated their flood map. Some people in the township are now in a flood zone and some have been removed from it. FEMA doesn’t notify people about it, so the township did send out a letter informing those residents of the changes. Tenges noted that in another municipality people weren’t notified they would be in a flood zone, and when

a flood happened they were left “holding the bag” without flood insurance. Later in the meeting, Claude Beck of Christian Springs Rd. said he needs to make an appeal to FEMA on the flood plain proposal, saying he can’t afford flood insurance. He is 700 ft. away from a retention pond, and adjacent to the International Speedway and Henry Yeska properties. Tenges reported that Christian Springs Rd. has been rehabilitated and paving is complete. However, the shoulder and drainage work is only 75% done. A residents asked for speed bumps on the road, where the speed limit is 25 MPH. Tenges said it would open Pandora’s Box with other roads if they put in bumps, and they are only appropriate in subdivisions for speed control. Supervisor James Pennington suggested speed enforcement as the alternative. Colonial Regional Police have been contacted about it. Other Matters • Tenges told the board that the township needs to track down “responsible parties”for abandoned properties. There presently are two in the township. Solicitor Gary Asteak suggested the township could cut the grass there. Tenges said he wouldn’t unless the board wants him to maintain the properties. They could be assessed a $1,000 charge.

about it. • Regarding recent complaints about power outages, Tenges said he spoke with PPL about them and was provided a “plausible explanation” that there were four, while other losses of electricity were only momentary. • In his report, Solicitor Asteak noted agreement over masonry mailboxes; a $2,400 settlement was reached over an eminent domain with DeBonis on an underground pipe; agreement of sale with ISC on a small piece of land for storm water; an appeal was settled with AAA; and the Salvaggio litigation is dragging along. At the August 8 supervisors meeting, the re-naming of Selvaggio Drive to Municipal Drive brought out several persons along that street with a petition that it not be changed. However, the board voted that it be Municipal Drve because of the building that they are taking over from Selvaggio for municipal purposes. The board did relent in one respect. They will post a temporary sign for one year, which reads ”Municipal Drive – formerly Selvaggio Drive”. That way the people there can make the adjustment in one year.
• The board approved three maintenance security releases – $1,373 for Northampton Crossings Pad Site “A”, $527 for Northampton Crossings Wawa, and $4,602 for the land development of Dr. George Manja. • Reports of activity by the Hecktown Fire Co. and Hecktown Ambulance Corps were revealed by chairman Eric Nagle: fire company in August – 21 emergency incidents, 160 man-hours, 24 non-emergency incidents; and ambulance corps – 576 calls in May, 64 in June, and 71 in July. • Tenges said he attended the Miracle League field opening and said the township was recognized.

Senior Pastor, The Gospel Chapel, Northampton
Power of Encouragement As I read through the Scriptures I am always looking for things….you know, instructions that God has given to us so that we can live a more fulfilled Christian adventure. Here’s one that just keeps jumping off the page… “encourage”! Here is only one of many examples… “Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.” (II Corinthians 13:11) God gives us the command to “encourage one another”, not just because He knows we need it but because He knows the power of encouragement! God knows that just a little encouragement goes a long way. He also knows that encouragement is a two-way street…. when you encourage someone in need the blessing is not only given by you….it is received by you as well! When we focus our intentions on being an encourager God begins to transform the atmosphere in which we live our lives….our troubles take on a lesser level of importance… our burdens become easier to bear…we begin to live in the fullness of His joy! Go on…give it a try…ask God who He would have you encourage today! & Adult L.E.D. classes including Grief Share & Divorce Care support groups. Check out our website for a list of the classes offered.

Flying Start
Walking past the newspaper one day, an elderly fellow was startled to see a young newspaper boy run out, take a flying leap in the air with legs apart, and then fall into the gutter. “Goodness, young fellow,” said the old man, “did you hurt yourself?” “No,” said the newspaper boy with a scowl, “but I sure would like to get my hands on the guy that moved my bicycle.”

CRPD officers were dispatched to a report of a reckless driver in a gold Honda that pulled into the parking lot of the Washline at 368 S. Walnut St., Bath on Sept. 2 at 4:22 p.m. A motorist had been following the Honda and reported the car to be “all over the road” with a possible intoxicated driver. Police located the car at that location with the driver asleep behind the wheel and an open bottle of Vodka on the passenger side floor. The operator, Jeffrey M. Ecklof, 28, of 68 Valley Park South, Bethlehem, had a strong odor of alcoholic beverages on him and his speech was slurred.
