In this concluding column, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Putt continue to share their memories of dredging the Lehigh River.
The Putts wrote the following.
The dredging provided employment for many local residents.
Mr. Putt remembers Otto Hontz, who lived along the Lehigh River; Albert “Abie” Bachman, who lived in Walnutport and drove a dump truck that hauled the coal to Palmerton; Senator Smith, who ran a tugboat; and a man called Brownie, who worked the vibrating tables screening the debris from the coal.
When pumps wore out, Dieter’s Foundry in Cherryville had molds to make new pumps. The foundry provided the new
large pumps and other parts that were needed. Suction pipes were attached to the pump and there was a big propeller in the pump. The back of the pump boat held the controls to get the coal from the river bottom.
There were ropes tied to trees and the ropes allowed the scow to move back and forth down the river.

Prior to the service at the Post, five local cemeteries were visited to honor the fallen, where a member of the Auxiliary placed one flower upon the headstone of a deceased veteran as a token of enduring memory at each cemetery.

are the symbol will endure until the end of time,” said Post Commander Brian Radcliffe.
Afterwards, at Post 470 in Bath, members, residents and veterans gathered to remember, celebrate and honor all the brave men and women who have fought in the defense of the nation, who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect their country so that we may remain safe and free.
“Today we honor all of those men and women who have so bravely served in the Armed Forces and died courageously on the battlefield or by the grace of God and time,” said Radcliffe.
Radcliffe then read the Honor Roll of the eight members the Legion has lost this past year: Neil Angst, Vincent Bauer Jr., Luther Keck Jr., Kenneth Kern, Ralph Roth, Barry Ryan, Michael Vettovitz and Grant Wambold.
As each name was read, a bell was tolled for the fallen member by Boy Scout Joshua Shellhammer, Troop 33.
The Legion’s fallen comrades were then given a rifle salute, followed by the playing of Taps by Christ UCC Lay Minister Jeffery Varju and Jessica Varju.
Christ UCC Lay Minister Jeffery Varju then cited a Memorial Day message and prayer.
Following, Bath Borough Council President Frank Hesch and State Representative and U.S. Army Major Zach Mako each gave speeches with special Memorial Day messages to the crowd.
Next, the poem “In Flanders Field” by John McCrae was read by Cyndy Radcliffe.
Post Commander Radcliffe then addressed the crowd with his Memorial Day message, thanking the crowd for attending and helping pay tribute to all who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for the country.
He remarked how after almost 20 years of giving a speech each Memorial Day, it becomes difficult to come up with something new, something different each year.
“Most of us will never [know] the horrors of war. And for that we should all be extremely thankful. But for those of us who have, and for the families of us who have been sent off to foreign lands to fight for freedoms and in the defense of others, many of whom could not fight for themselves; the uncertainty, the not knowing, the agony of some, sit -

of the military arrive at your doorstep to inform you that your son or daughter is not coming home.
“This is what Memorial Day is about…And as I mentioned in the beginning of today’s presentation, after almost 20 years, it really doesn’t matter what stories are told. I guess they don’t need to be
different, because in the end, no matter how or what stories you tell, the basic meaning behind all of them is the same. We must never forget the sacrifices of those who gave their lives- the men and women who left behind family, friends, school and jobs to go answer their country’s call to arms.”
Radcliffe concluded his speech by urging everyone to take a few moments to stop by a local cemetery, take a walk through, stop and look at the granite stones, (especially the ones that have a brass marker with an American Flag next to them), read the name on the stone, kneel or sit quietly for a moment and just say thank you.

Nazareth Borough Council approves Purchase of upgraded police body And car cameras
By SAVANNAH BROWN
Nazareth Borough Council
approved a wide range of motions during its regular meeting on Monday, June 2, addressing public property use, insurance renewals, law enforcement equipment and upcoming community events.
Under public property, council approved Moravian Historical Society's request for use of large trash and recycling barrels and parking barricades for its 47th annual Arts and Crafts Festival.
An updated appraisal of the 41-acre Black Rock property was also approved at a cost of $600. The appraisal, to be conducted
by Laudone Appraisals, is part of the borough's effort to secure a Community Conservation Partnership Grant through the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Council further approved a 2025 lease agreement with the Nazareth Blue Swim Team. The agreement sets a rental fee of $4,500, payable in three installments, and allows for three evening swim meets requiring early pool closures. Any additional meets would cost $1,500 each. Revenues from swim lessons will be split evenly between the borough and the swim team, while the swim team assumes all instructional costs.

In celebration of Nazareth Day on July 19, council gave a green light to a Rubber Duck Race at the borough pool at 10:30 a.m., hosted by the Nazareth Rotary Club.
Additionally, council approved $4,950 in costs related to library abatement efforts. This includes $4,000 for material removal, $300 for a mandatory DEP notification and $650 for post-abatement air clearance testing.
Under financial matters, council renewed its municipal insurance package with Brown & Brown of the Lehigh Valley, totaling $186,882—an increase from $160,635 in 2024. When combined with worker’s compensation and other related coverage, the full insurance package totals $297,145, up from $249,976 last year.
Two contributions were made to the borough's PLGIT Park Fund: $35,000 and $30,000, respectively, with interest rates of 4.13% and 4.16%. These deposits were sourced from poolrelated revenues collected over Memorial Day weekend.
A motion was also passed to merge two tax parcels on West Mauch Chunk and Phoenix streets, owned by Robert Miller, into a single parcel.
In a major capital investment,
council approved a $443,284.13 chassis deposit for a 2025 Pierce Pumper Fire Vehicle from Glick Fire Equipment Company. This upfront payment secures a $12,998.52 discount. The new vehicle is partially funded by a $700,000 LSA Grant, with the final cost totaling $919,924.
In other news, council approved the initiation of the promotional exam process by the Civil Service Commission to create an eligibility list for two new full-time sergeants, set to begin duties on Jan. 1.
Additionally, the police department will enter into a fiveyear lease/purchase agreement with Motorola for a new cloudbased body-worn and in-car camera system. The first-year payment is $40,622, followed by four annual payments of $27,900. The agreement, under
the COSTARS state contract, covers 17 new body-worn cameras and seven in-car units and guarantees replacement every three years.
Following, council introduced and passed two ordinances: Ordinance No. 896 establishes regulations for special events, with the deletion of a 14-day notice requirement, and Ordinance No. 897 adjusts salaries for elected officials, raising compensation for the mayor and council president to $8,385 and for councilpersons to $4,190. These changes will take effect at the start of the next term for each position. Councilwomen Laureen Pellegrino and Kayla Green opposed the motion.
Lastly, under environmental steering and lighting, council approved an additional $1,500

official until a new officer is hired. Scott Brown, from Hanover Engineering, will be working with Amato as interim code enforcement officer and zoning officer. His services are being provided at a discounted rate to assist the township during this transition period.
Officer Christian Surjan with the police department has submitted his resignation, as he and his family will be moving to Wyoming. The board voted to accept with regrets, and advertising will be placed in order to find a full-time officer to fill his post.
Rehrig has received three proposals to replace the faulty air conditioning units in the police station. The lowest bid was submitted by Home Comfort Solutions, and included a 10-year warranty, so the board unanimously agreed to accept their bid.
Board member Cynthia Miller proposed that the township budget be extended to three or even five years, rather than putting together a new one each year. She stated that many municipalities are now doing multi-year bud-
gets, and as Lehigh Township has a 10-year capital plan, she feels it would be reasonable to do likewise. The budget would still be reviewed annually, but budgeting for multiple years would allow for long-term planning.
Board member Janet Sheats suggested starting with a threeyear budget, and stretching to a five-year if it goes well. She noted that the police department is looking to increase its numbers by at least two, and an extended budget would help the township prepare for other possible changes such as the Jaindl project, new roads or building repairs.
Rehrig will create a three-year budget, using the information she has and educated estimates.
Rehrig provided the supervisors with a concept design for the new LED sign and its estimated cost. She will be applying for a Grow NorCo Grant to pay for the sign, labor, materials, permit and inspection. The board authorized her to take the next steps.
Matt Marks, from Senator Nicholas Miller’s office, has requested the township to host a “coffee and conversation” event, most likely in August. This would be held in the board meeting room and be open to the public, allowing residents to come and ask the senator questions. Miller has been holding such events in
Northern R&S
different places throughout his jurisdiction and they are well attended. The supervisors approved scheduling the event, which will be advertised once the date is confirmed.
It was noted that the nonfunctional light in the municipal building parking lot, mentioned at the previous meeting, has been fixed.
A town hall meeting for discussing the possibility of the land preservation initiative will be held at the fire station, but the date cannot be determined at this time. The fire company is currently in mourning for the recent passing of firefighter April Lubenetski, and at the time of the supervisors’ meeting they were preparing the station for her funeral service.
“Once things have calmed down,” in the words of Sheats, they will be able to schedule the town hall meeting and advertise it to the public.
The board then adjourned for an executive session, with no action being taken.
The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 10 in the municipal building, located at 1069 Municipal Road, Walnutport.

To empty the scow, a scraper line came out and was cranked to get the coal to go up into the troughs.
It was very cold working on the river. When the weather was cold, there was a potbelly stove in the front of the pump boat’s enclosure, and they would break the big pieces of coal to use in the stove.

As a sidelight, during World War II, the Dieter’s Foundry supplied land mines for the U.S. Military.
Unfortunately, the foundry closed in 1981. Today the property is the home of the Bethany Wesleyan Church.
When the baseball fields at Treichlers were being developed, Wilson and Vince Dieter donated their time and materials to haul piles of fine sand stockpiled on the property. The fine sand was used along the fence line at the Little League fields in Treichlers.
There were many hardships with the work. There were floods and ice jamming up on the river.
One flood caused the loss of a new tugboat, which was washed down the river. Before recovery efforts could be made, scavengers took the motor and various parts of the tugboat, and it meant starting over.
The dredging took place from March to October or [until] the river would freeze.
The dredging operation continued until 1959. Before the Clean Rivers Act, the waste of rocks and sand were returned to the river, but after the Clean Rivers Act, it reduced the amount of coal waste in the rivers. Debris taken out of the rivers were not allowed to be put back into the rivers. Stockpiles were made of the debris taken from the river on the property. The coal in the river had dwindled.
When the dredging ceased in 1959, the family decided to invest in trucks to transport coal from the mines into the zinc company.
We thank the Putt family for their kindness and cooperation in writing this article.
The dredges and foundry are gone, a faded chapter in the history of the Lehigh River.
