On the night of July 4, 1776, Philadelphia printer John Dunlap set the Declaration of Independence in type and printed an estimated 200 copies. These broadsides, large single-page printed sheets, were the document that spread the news of independence across the colonies. Twenty-six copies are known to survive. The auction record was set in 2000 at Sotheby’s: $8.14 million.
Why this reproduction is different:
In February 2026, Rob Buchert received an unlikely phone
call: the history interpreter then portraying George Washington at Mount Vernon was having trouble sourcing paper made in the 18th-century style. The inquiry that followed led Buchert to the Dunlap Broadside, and to the question of whether anyone had ever reproduced it, not as a facsimile of the artifact’s current appearance, but as a complete recapitulation of the original creation process.
The answer was no.
Most Americans picture the Declaration of Independence as the calligraphed parchment with the famous signatures, the

Lehigh Township to welcome new Police officers, begin road repairs
By LAURA KLOTZ
The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors dedicated a large part of their June 23 meeting to the drafted ordinance concerning data centers and the question of whether to permit e-bikes in township parks. They opened the meeting by hearing from Nicole Gallio, who represented the Lehigh Valley Resort and Spa project. As had been predicted at a previous meeting, they applied for an extension on plan recording until August 26, 2027. Gallio explained that the next step for the project will be digging for tanks at the wastewater treatment plant site. They are ready to start moving materials to
the resort site; however, they still need to finalize the plan before it can be submitted for recording, as some details are “still being buttoned up.” The details in question are mostly concerning interior changes such as fittings. Supervisors granted the requested extension.
Township Solicitor David M. Backenstoe provided the board with printed copies of the data center ordinance that he had drafted, assisted by Township Engineer Michael Muffley and Zoning Officer Roxann Colfer. He reviewed some procedural and formatting specifics in order to better explain them.
The technology for data cen-
ters is updating so rapidly that it is virtually impossible for a final ordinance to be drafted, he said, but the one which has been put together for Lehigh Township is as complete as it can be. It includes a section defining terms, such as what a data center is, establishes a number of requirements, such as how large a center can be, how close it can be placed to other buildings such as residences and schools, the need for a sound study to confirm that the noise will not be disruptive to residents and other requirements concerning power, water and sewage needs. Anyone building a
Northampton Area Public Library Launches “Senior Hours” to support Community after center closure
Submitted by
VERONICA LAROCHE
In response to the permanent closure of the Northampton Senior Center, the Northampton Area Public Library is stepping in to provide a welcoming space for older adults who may be feeling the loss of a longtime community hub.
Beginning Monday, July 6, the library will introduce dedicated “Senior Hours” from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., Monday through Thursday, offering a familiar place for connection, conversation and comfort.
The initiative comes at a
local
The Northampton Senior Center, which has served as a daily gathering place for decades, is scheduled to close on June 30 due to funding reductions impacting the county’s senior services network. Many seniors relied on the center not only for meals, but for companionship and routine—describing it as a “second home” and even “family.”
Library leaders say the new morning hours are designed to help fill that gap, even in a modest way.
“We understand how important connection and routine are,
especially right now,” said Library Director Veronica Laroche. “Our goal is to offer a space where seniors can continue to gather with familiar faces in a relaxed, welcoming environment.”
During Senior Hours, the focus will be simple and intentional:

data center in the township will also need to submit an annual report to the board showing that they are continuing to operate within these requirements.
Backenstoe invited supervisors to email him with any other changes they wish to see made to the final draft.
The board agreed to authorize Backenstoe to make these final edits and then submit the ordinance to both the Lehigh Township Planning Commission and the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission for review. The commissions will then have 30 days from the date of receipt to examine the ordinance and make comments. Once that happens, Backenstoe and Township Manager Alice Rehrig are authorized to advertise the ordinance and schedule a hearing for the end of August. It was asked how much noise a data center creates and Backenstoe explained that the many computers used in such a facility create what he described as “a
large hum,” which is the reason for the noise restrictions being necessary. Data centers also require a great deal of water, and he was of the opinion that Lehigh Township might not be able to provide enough water to meet a data center’s needs, meaning that the township may never be approached about having one. However, it is necessary to have the ordinance ready in case the issue ever arises, and supervisors complimented the township employees involved in crafting the legislation so quickly.
Supervisor Gerald Pritchard introduced the next topic on the agenda, which concerned the use of e-bikes.
Mark Krajci, of the local bicycle racing club Gotham Bikes, approached the board to explain that he has noticed issues with the use of e-bikes and presented them with documentation on the subject. Concerns have been raised regarding safety in the township parks, especially at the playground, which Jaindl is constructing at Indian Trail Park. Krajci also gave the board a copy of the sign used in Hanover
Township park to prohibit the presence of such vehicles. He suggested drafting legislation to limit the use of e-bikes and e-scooters to private property.
Supervisor Cynthia Miller was in favor of such a proposal. She suggested adding electric dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles to the list of prohibited devices. Rehrig pointed out that the township’s park ordinance already prohibits the use of unlicensed motorized vehicles, and Board President Michael Jones did not wish to see senior residents, many of whom use motorized scooters for transportation, being punished for the irresponsible actions of others. It was decided that the matter will be discussed further at the July 14 meeting, so that Police Chief John Henry and Public Works Director Frank Zamadics can be included in the conversation.
Next, superviros discussed the subject raised at the previous meeting of locking the Danielsville ballfield. President Jones explained that the decision to do so was made two winters ago due to
damage from vandals and unrestrained dogs. It was confirmed with both the township’s insurance company and Backenstoe that doing so was considered legal and a reasonable response to the situation. However, the insurance company recommended
posting “no climbing” signs on the fence, so that there won’t be any further accidents. There is a walk-through gate by the dugout if anyone needs to access the field.

Susan M. Riccio
Susan M. Riccio, 63, of Moore Township, passed away on Friday, June 26, 2026 at Northampton Post AcuteEaston. She was the beloved wife of the late David Riccio. Born in Allentown, Susan was a daughter of the late Morris and Aureta Jones (Setzer).
She worked for many years as a seamstress, taking pride in the craftsmanship and dedication she brought to her work. In her younger years, she attended Salem United Church of Christ and Chapman Quarries United Methodist Church, where she found comfort in her faith and community.
A woman who appreciated life's simple pleasures, she enjoyed tending to her garden, browsing flea markets in search of hidden treasures and spending time at home surrounded by those she loved. Whether she was sitting outside enjoying the fresh air, sharing stories and laughter with family and friends, or goodnaturedly "arguing with the old man," she embraced each day with an easygoing spirit and a genuine love for the simple moments that made life special. She will be remembered by her sons: Brian Jones (Susan) and Jason Jones both of Moore Township; brother: Michael Jones (Brenda) of Roseto and aunt: Mildred Jones of Bath.
As per Susan's wishes, no formal
services will be held at this time. Online expressions of sympathy may be recorded at: bensingfuneralhome.net. Arrangements and cremation care are under the direction of the GEORGE G. BENSING FUNERAL HOME, INC. - Moorestown/Bath.
In lieu of flowers, those wishing to express their sympathy are invited to make a memorial contribution toward final expenses through the crowdfunding option available on the funeral home's website obituary.

Rob Buchert
Continued from page 1 document preserved today in the National Archives, familiar from countless reproductions. That document was produced weeks after independence was declared, and the image most of us know descends from an 1823 engraving. The Dunlap Broadside, what Buchert has reproduced, is the actual first publication. It is the document printed the night of July 4, 1776, before the parchment existed, and read aloud to General Washington’s troops in New York on July 9. T this anniversary year, the parchment reproductions seen everywhere are of a different document entirely.
As the effective birth certificate of the nation, the Dunlap Broadside has attracted the attention of publishers and printing offices over the years. None combines handmade period paper with a matched watermark and letter-by-letter type composition drawn from period specimens. The National Park Service’s Franklin Court Printing Office (Philadelphia) and the Printing Office of Edes & Gill (Boston) both produce respected handpress Dunlap reproductions on machine-made cotton paper at prices around $25–30. The only previous reproduction made to a comparable standard of material fidelity, the 1970 R.R. Donnelley/Lakeside Press facsimile, is available only on the secondary market at $500–$2,000+ and is no longer in production.
Unlike the Donnelley facsimile, which sought to replicate the artifact as it existed in 1970, including its aged edges, staining and toning, Buchert’s reproduction recapitulates the original creation process, producing something far closer to what those first readers across the colonies actually held: a freshly printed broadside on new paper, ink still sharp, carrying the news of independence. It is also a tribute to what is easy to
forget about Dunlap’s overnight work, that it was not merely functional but genuinely beautiful, with its stately letterspaced caps, a commanding six-line initial and presswork that bears the excitement of the moment in every line. Buchert has sought to honor that beauty, not improve upon it.
This project drew on approximately 1,300 hours of work between February and June 2026.
What Buchert made:
A hand-printed recreation of
the Dunlap Broadside that follows the Library of Congress’ copy of the first printing—the paper made by hand, the type set letter by letter against the original, the ink blended to match 18th-century presswork.
Paper: Handmade from period-appropriate flax and hemp fibers, bearing the J. Honig & Zoonen crown-and-post-horn watermark, the same Dutch papermaker whose stock Dunlap used in 1776. The watermark is visible in the Library of Congress’s high-resolution scan of its surviving copy.
Utah artist Rob Buchert holds his hand-printed recreation of the 1776 Declaration of Independence, printed on paper he made himself using 18th-century methods. June 11, 2026.
Type: Re-set from Caslon’s 1766 type specimen book, letter by letter and space by space against the LOC copy, replicating the letterspaced caps in the title and the stately six-line initial of the text, including the typographic irregularities and evidence of haste characteristic of Dunlap’s original composition.
Ink: Hand-blended to match the deep black characteristic of 18th-century letterpress printing.
Dimensions: Approximately 19.5” × 15.5” (each sheet unique; handmade paper varies slightly).
Expert validation:
“I have examined surviving copies of the Dunlap Broadside firsthand, and the attention to detail here is remarkable. Although other credible efforts have been undertaken to produce faithful replicas of this document, I believe this to be the most accurate reprinting that has ever been produced. For the person who wishes to experience the sensation of holding a newly printed copy of the first printing of the Declaration of Independence, there is simply no better option.”
— Gove N. Allen, American Antiquarian Society (speaking in a personal capacity)

Continued from page 8
Tryst Press editions have entered public and private collections throughout North America and around the world, with work exhibited at venues including The Grolier Club. Buchert is a recipient of the Carl Hertzog Award for Excellence in Book Design.
From raw fiber to finished page, Buchert’s work encompasses every stage of the process. He makes paper by hand, sets type by hand and prints by hand. Having trained at Monotype University, he designs and casts type, builds the wood-and-wire moulds and watermarks used in Westernstyle hand papermaking, designs and illustrates books and works on letterpress equipment he has acquired, studied and, in many cases, restored.
He has taught letterpress printing and typography as adjunct faculty in the Design Department at BYU Provo for more than 20 years, collaborated for years with the Crandall Historical Printing Museum and served as an early board member of the Fine Press Book Association. He comes from a family with deep early American roots, for whom the ideals of the founding era were a living inheritance.
In February 2026, a call from Gove Allen (elected member, American Antiquarian Society) set the current project in motion. Allen relayed an unlikely complaint: the history interpreter then portraying George Washington at Mount Vernon was finding it increasingly difficult to source paper made in the 18th-century style. Allen knew Buchert was the right person to ask.
The inquiry prompted a deep investigation into Colonial-era papermaking that led Buchert to the printing history of the Dunlap Broadside, the first published version of the Declaration
of Independence, printed on the night of July 4, 1776. A question crystallized: Would it be possible
to remake the broadside just as the original was made—not as an archival facsimile, but as a com-
plete recapitulation of the craft, from the making of the paper to the setting of the type to the letterpress printing of the final document?
Congratulations to the Borough of Bath Happy 275th Anniversary
Concluding that the answer was yes, and recognizing in himself a rare combination of the skills the project required, Buchert determined to produce an edition in time for America’s 250th anniversary. Drawing on a lifetime’s mastery of each of these crafts, he worked at extraordinary intensity from February through June 2026.

Senate Democratic Policy Committee Hearing on Lowering your Electric bill
Submitted by GAIL VIVAR
Senate Democratic Policy Committee Chair Nick Miller (D-14) hosted a policy hearing examining solutions to lower consumer electric bills, alongside Senator Kane and Senator Malone. Experts provided testimony regarding strategies to achieve cost-savings solutions for residential ratepayers in Pennsylvania.
“Electricity should be affordable, reliable and available to every Pennsylvanian,” said Senator Nick Miller. “Families, seniors and small businesses across our Commonwealth are facing growing pressure from rising energy costs, and they deserve action. The hearing focused on identifying real-world solutions to increase energy supply, modernizing our infrastructure, improving efficiency and protecting ratepayers. Pennsylvania has the resources and expertise to lead on energy policy, and our goal must be simple: lower costs, strengthen reliability and put consumers first.”
"Pennsylvanians work hard for their money, and they deserve to know they're getting a fair deal when it comes to their electric bills," said Senator John Kane. "This hearing is about finding real, common-sense solutions to lower energy costs and protect consumers from unfair and exploitative practices. As legislators, it's our responsibility to make sure the rules work for the people, not against them, and to ensure every Pennsylvanian is protected
from deceptive business practices."
“The reality is PPL Electric, the electric provider in our region, has seen a steadily growing profit margin since 2019,” said Senator James Malone. “I think we need to be asking hard questions about why they are consistently asking for rate increases when they have the ability to invest back into their systems and spare ratepayers. I was pleased to join today's hearing with my colleagues to ask these questions and explore ways we can lower electric bills for families in Lancaster and across Pennsylvania."
Vice-Chair Kim Barrow, commissioner of Pennsylvania PUC, testified on the position electricity customers are facing today and the drastic changes in the energy landscape with the influx of new demand.
“Rising electricity bills are a national issue with the average residential customer price jumping 10.2% to 18.8 cents/kWh in March from 17.1 cents/kWh a year earlier,” said Barrow. “The supply portion of the electric bill is being driven by many factors: slow interconnection of new generation, retirement of baseload generation, increasing high voltage transmission builds and the last three PJM capacity auctions which cleared 22% higher year over year for three years. Those capacity prices rose due to data center demand in PJM which is forecast to reach 32 GW by 2030.”
Alex Charlton, RESA state chair for Government Relations at Constellation, stated that additional steps should be taken to ensure the Commonwealth remains a leader in both consumer protection and market innovation.
“We recognize that the competitive energy market is not perfect, just like other markets in consumer goods and services are imperfect,” said Charlton. “Keeping bad actors out and welcoming good actors in will help ensure the retail market can deliver the proper consumer protections, innovation, economic benefits and consumer value, to the citizens of Pennsylvania.”
Darryl Lawrence of the Pennsylvania Office of Consumer Advocate emphasized that keeping electricity affordable is essential to consumers’ well being. Lawrence recommended adopting fair ratemaking practices, requiring explicit consumer consent before switching customers to variable rates and implementing strong safeguards to ensure hyperscale data centers do not drive-up costs or disrupt service for existing customers.
“To honor these pledges and policy choices and to protect existing ratepayers from these costs and risks, within Pennsylvania there is existing statutory authority and responsibility placing obligations upon the Commission and the EDCs to act in a manner that respects a cooperative federalism framework and that protects reliable and affordable electricity service for existing ratepayers while also meeting the
new extraordinary electricity demand of data centers,” said Lawrence.
Testifiers for the hearing included:
• Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission
• Pennsylvania Utility Law Project
• Energy Association of PA
• Office of Consumer Advocate
• Constellation
Senator Nick Miller was elected policy chair of the Senate Democratic Caucus in December 2024.
Footage of the hearing, as well as the written testimony of the panel, is available at PASenatorMiller.com/Policy. Photographs and downloadable videos are available upon request.

2025, PSP investigated a total of 803 crashes and made 458 driving under the influence arrests, along with investigating nine fatal crashes and issuing 5,790 speeding citations.
Troopers are also advising motorists not to park their vehicles anywhere on I-78, including the ramps, shoulder or center median during the annual Dorney Park fireworks celebration. Parking on the shoulder of the highway causes a danger to other motorists traveling during this busy holiday season. Motorists will be cited for Title 75 Section 3353, Prohibitions in Specific Places, and could have their vehicle towed.
During this holiday period, Troopers are reminding the public of the statute that allows the public to purchase and utilize consumer grade fireworks, or “Class C’” fireworks; however, restrictions include:
• They cannot be ignited or discharged on public or private property without express permission of the property owner.
• They cannot be discharged from or directed at a vehicle or building.
• They cannot be directed at another person.
• They cannot be discharged within 150 feet of a building or vehicle.
• They cannot be discharged while the person is under the influence of alcohol, or a controlled substance or another drug.
Motorists are reminded of the mandates of Title 75 Section 3316.1, Prohibiting Use of Interactive Mobile Device (Paul Miller Law), which prohibits the use of hand-held devices while driving, even while stopped temporarily due to traffic, a red light or other delays. Drivers can still use their phones to alert authorities in the event of an emergency and use handsfree technology to make phone calls, use a GPS and listen to music. Drivers convicted of using a handheld device while driving will receive a $50 fine, plus court costs and other fees.
Motorists are reminded of the mandates of Title 75 Section 3733, Fleeing or Attempting to Elude Police Officer, which stipulates that any driver of a motor vehicle who willfully fails or refuses to bring their vehicle to a stop, or who otherwise flees or attempts to elude a pursuing police officer, commits an offense, graded up to a Felony of the 3rd Degree, which carries a maximum sentence of seven years in prison, a $15,000 fine and restitution for damages and/or injuries sustained as a result of the pursuit.

Continued from page 1 social time. Participants are invited to reconnect with friends from the Northampton Senior Center, enjoy light refreshments and ease into a new routine together.
The library will provide coffee, tea, water and snacks, and attendees are encouraged to make full use of the space—whether that means chatting with friends, browsing the stacks or settling in with a favorite book or magazine. While the initial phase emphasizes informal gathering, NAPL sees this initiative as the first step in something larger. Library leadership confirmed that they are actively seeking grants and community sponsorships to expand programming for older adults in the coming months. Potential future offerings could include gentle movement and wellness activities, health screenings and resource visits, and nutrition support initiatives such as Meals on Wheels partnerships.
Senior Hours at the Northampton Area Public Library are free and open to all older adults in the community. No registration is required.
As the community adjusts to change, the library hopes the morning gatherings will offer something simple, but powerful: a place to belong.
