Lehigh Twsp. zoning changes Allow for Jaindl development

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

After hearing additional positive and negative comments regarding a proposed re-development of the Mary Immaculate Seminary property, the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, March 8 approved three zoning changes that will make it possible.

They include: (1) Amending Chapter 180, zoning to establish a Planned Resort Residential Community [PRRC] zoning district; (2) Amending various sections of Chapter 147, Subdivision & Land Development Ordinance, including design standards within the PRRC zoning district, and (3) Amending Chapter 138,

Stormwater Management as it pertains to the PRRC zoning district.

Although no formal plan has been submitted by developer David Jaindl, tentatively he told the board several months ago what he intends to do with the 278-acre property: 509 dwelling units, including multi- and single-family homes along with some for age-restricted use, blended with a shopping village surrounding the abandoned seminary which would feature apartments above retail shops.

Frank Vitovitch read a threepage petition signed by 222 people opposing the development, based on their concerns about economic impact, health and

safety, environment, and quality of life.

Supervisors chairman Daryl Snover made it clear at the onset that he didn’t want a “rehash” of the comments heard at the Feb. 23 hearing, but still there was some repetition.

Steve Kiss of Danielsville urged the board to get a commitment from Jaindl to pay for a new sewage treatment plant for the development, with a required storage capacity, and to consult the Pa. DEP before approving the zoning changes. He said he didn’t want the same mistakes that were made 20 years ago with Heritage Village.

Snover said that when there is a plan they will get that commit-

ment. He and fellow supervisor Dell Grove insisted, “There is no plan.”

The property is still owned by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

A resident questioned why the board would change the zoning on a property for Jaindl when he doesn’t own it yet.

Snover said he favors commercial use for the property because it would bring money into the township. Having just homes brings in taxation, but require service as well. “Would you just let the seminary building go to waste? No one else has come forward with the money to buy that property.”

Letters from our Readers To the Editor: While visiting an antique store in Marietta, Ga., I found a US Army Diary of a service member from Danielsville, PA. It is a pocket size diary members of the Army were given upon entering active duty and contains some personal information such as name, former address, next of kin, emergency contact, Army Serial number, etc.

This diary belonged to Ernest T. Relph of Danielsville, Pa.; he entered the Army on November 27, 1942. He listed a Helen C. Relph as emergency contact; another contact listed is, Mrs. Charles G. Relph of Bethlehem, Pa. As a former Army member myself with over 20 years of active duty, and having entered the Army a short time after Mr. Relph, it brought back many memories for me.

I have been unable to make any contact with the persons listed in Mr. Relph’s diary and wondered if

you might be able to help in my efforts. He did not make many entries in the diary but I felt he, or any of his family members might be interested in this diary, as it would hold family, sentimental value. I would be glad to mail to them as soon as possible.

Pa. Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs Has spring convention

by HOBBY The Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs held their spring convention this past weekend at the Best Western Central Hotel & Conference Center in Harrisburg.

On Friday morning, the board of directors, which consists of Federation officers and chairpersons for the eight divisions across the state, had their meeting. One of the topics was a disappointing turn-out of delegates and other sportsmen compared to the 84 years in the past. Although the weather was good, it didn’t help the attendance, and it is believed the electronic age has made a major negative impact, because the sportsmen have been discussing the issues back and forth by e-mail and the multi other measures of instant communication, thereby not desiring to spend their money and time to sit and discuss issues as they formerly did. Those present resolved to keep alert and positive, with the realization that there are many in today’s world who are antihunting, fishing, shooting, and trapping, in fact against all of our outdoors heritage. The PFSC has 42,794 members.

Even John Arway, executive director of the Pa. Fish & Boat Commission, admitted that it is a big challenge today to get kids interested in hunting and fishing because of all the electronic technology, and their interest in high school sports. But he said if they would use the APP that the

Fish Commission provides they would find all the information they need to know about fish and fishing. The PFBC is celebrating its 150th anniversary with a special program at the State Museum of Pennsylvania at 300 North St., Harrisburg, on Wednesday, March 30, from 6 to 8 p.m. The event is open to the public, when they can meet past and present staff and commissioners, along with special guests, and learn about the PFBC’s storied past as it prepares for the future.

Pollution killing bass When the commission was founded in 1866, there was an investigation of water pollution being caused by the wholesale logging of Pennsylvania’s forests and the impacts caused by sedimentation of our mountain lakes and streams. There was also serious concern about the reduction of American Shad runs in the Susquehanna River.

It’s ironic that the same situation exists today in the Susquehanna River, where pollution from chemicals is being blamed on farming practices that have caused lesions on the bass population and killing hundreds.

Arway said the Pa. Dept. of Environmental Protection hasn’t responded to cleaning up rivers, although the agency has the money for it. Unhealthy bass are showing up along the waters of the Susquehanna. State and federal governments have done a lot of studies on the river, and they show that herbicides, hormones

that cause bacterial infections, and other chemicals are the culprit.

Arway said the Dept. of Agriculture, DEP, and Gov. Wolf need to put a plan together to control the chemicals that are polluting the river before the bass are all killed off.

“We need food to live, but the farmers need to control the herbicides they use on their lands,” Arway said. “Municipalities have installed sewage treatment plants that control the discharges that go into the river. We have to create the political will to do what has to be done, even if it’s one farm at a time. We have the technology.”

Tributaries all contribute to the middle river, but the fish and boat agency has been trying to hold its own. Arway declared, “We need to put more attention on what we are doing to our land so it will benefit what is going in our rivers. Demand that we fix the fish!”

On Sunday during the general session, a delegate said there should be a petition from the people that they want something done to clean up the Susquehanna River, “like our forefathers did to clean up the streams of Pennsylvania 84 years ago.” The delegates agreed that they will write letters and use Facebook to keep the Susquehanna, Allegheny and Ohio Rivers clean, with the message, “Save Our Water” to the Dept. of Agriculture, DEP, and Gov. Wolf.

Fishing licenses presently cost $21.00, and there is a need to increase the price. “We’ve made cuts, but we can’t cut any more.

License sales are 25% of our budget,” Arway said. 21 of 50 members of the Senate are now signed on to a bill for a license increase, including Senator Mario Scavello from Monroe County. Arway urged the sportsmen to contact their Senators to act on the bill by using e-mail, phone calls, or knocking on their doors.

The PFBC gets $5.00 back from the Dingell-Johnson Act for every license sold. Their Recreational Fishing & Boating Fund is generated also by sales of gas, fishing and boating equipment. Arway said, “Think about your clubs back home, and give donations to this dedicated fund.” He said one sportsmen’s

club gave $5,000.

Arway concluded that the Delaware River is very good and he believes there will be an early spawning of shad. He said he tries to fish wherever he goes, and has fished the Delaware.

Game report A spokesman from the Pa. Game Commission spoke of the chronic wasting disease problem and that it has spread into Pennsylvania, killing deer. “The threat is real and it is growing,” he said.

“The consequences will be devastating environmentally, economically and politically.” He urged the sportsmen to report any deer that they see is emaciated from CWD to their wildlife conservation officers.

Prions are what cause the disease in deer and elk. Four ways to control or eradicate the disease listed were to: ban transport of high-risk parts, ban use of deer urine products, ban feeding and baiting, and ban targeted removal. Prions exist in soil that is contaminated by urine, feces and saliva from the deer.

The PGC official also called on support for a license increase that is now proposed in S.B. 1148 by Senator Charles McIlhinney, and supported by Senators Brewster, Alloway and Scavello. 35% of the agency’s income comes from license sales. The rest is from Marcellus shale and PittmanRobertson reimbursements.

The adult resident hunting license would go up from $19 to $29 and the adult non-resident from $100 to $150. There are

numerous other increases, but there will be no increase for junior and senior hunters.

“It’s not what we want to do, but what we have to do,” said the PGC official. “The only way it’s going to happen is if the sportsmen support it.” There has been no license increase since 1999.

“There’s going to be huge changes unless we get it,” he said. The delegates gave their support for both the PGC and PFBC license increases at the general session on Sunday.

Other reports were given on firearms, conservation education, and legislative and regulatory issues. Affiliated organizations that made reports were from the Pa. Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, Pa. Pheasants Forever, Pa. Fliers Association, United Bowhunters of Pa., and Pa. Trappers Association.

Attending the convention from Northampton County were this writer, Mike Topping, Norman Graver, Richard Serfass, and Mike Getto. The fall meeting and general session will be on September 17 at the Mechanicsburg Sportsmen’s Club. It was announced that the Second Amendment Rally will be held on May 24 in Harrisburg, as well as the PFSC’s legislative trap shoot at Mechanicsburg that same day.

Outdoor writer Bud Cole on mend Fellow outdoor writer Bud Cole, of Lehigh Township, has spent the last five months in ICU as a result of serious post-surgery complications.

The good news is that, although his recovery is exceedingly slow, Bud is on the mend.

He has been transferred to room 3003 at Good Shepherd Rehab facility at Lehigh Valley Hospital - Muhlenberg, 2545 Schoenersville Rd., Bethlehem.

Cole is one of the Pennsylvania Outdoor Writers Association’s high-level recruiters and serves on POWA’s board of directors. He also serves as liaison on the duties manual, finance budget, and supporting member recruitment.

Three reasons to join team chocolate

Researchers at Yale, using chocolate as their study material, recently concluded that chocolate tastes better when two or more people are eating it together.

When the study’s participants – surely an easy position to fill – tasted chocolate together they judged it as tasting better than when they ate it alone. This even held true if the study participants didn’t speak to each other at all.

As the study’s authors summarize: “Sharing an experience with another person, even without communicating, amplifies one’s own experience.”

Taking up this better together principle can help you build a better customer experience and a stronger brand. Whatever your service or product; it likely improves the “taste” if experienced by two or more customers together.

The “better together” principle seems to be a good secret weapon for small business. Think about it:

Three reasons to join Team Chocolate

1. If you are marketing to two customers instead of one you have already doubled your wordof-mouth epidemic and your referral potential.

2.

Better than marketing to two people, why not an entire family? Expand your brand based on the Hershey model. Hershey took a delicious snack food and leveraged it into an experience for families at Hershey Park, Hershey Hotel, Hershey Arena and more.

3. All businesses desire to turn a profit. All businesses want to be successful, providing group opportunities as a customer experience is something worth trying and, for sure, undeniably profitable.

He also carried Porter’s Salve and Liniment, which my father used all of his life. Daddy first discovered it as a small boy while living on the farm on which he grew up. He told of using the liniment on the work horses when they sprained a leg and the salve was used for open wounds on

man and animal. Later, he used it for open wounds and insect bites.

He carried a tin of the salve in his tool box, one in his truck, one in our family car and anywhere else he might need to quickly heal a wound.

He swore by that salve and liniment and I believe he lived to be

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Sunday is the first day of spring!

We made it through what was a better winter than usual. Now we can sit back and enjoy watching the flowers bloom and hearing the birds sing. The guys with their snow plows can bring out their grass cutters and start looking for some landscaping business. . . . It’s also Palm Sunday, a week before Easter, and when there will be special services in church to mark Holy Week. I hope all the churches are full, not just on Palm Sunday and Easter, but whenever there are services of worship. . . .Saturday afternoon the Bath Fire Co. Social Club and Jim Pasquariello will be looking for folks to spin a wheel to win hams. . . .After church on Sunday, maybe you guys can head on over to the East Bath Rod & Gun Club for their block shoot, with all those hams, turkeys and pork loins for prizes. . . .This is the time to score for a big family meal on Easter Sunday. . . .Took notice in Northampton Mayor Tom Reenock’s proclamation last week that he and local legislators were gonna deliver Meals on Wheels to the elderly and alone on this Monday. I didn’t check with Mayor Fi whether she was gonna get in on it, but she probably did, ‘cause she’s a caring person. . . .I hope all you kids from four to 12 have been coloring the Easter bunny cartoon that Ahart’s Market has been advertising. And don’t forget to join the

crowd down on the field next to the market this Saturday morning, March 19. The fun starts around 11 a.m., and George and his workers will be looking to give lots of big prizes away if you get the right eggs. The firefighters usually have their fire truck there to signal the start, and the Easter Bunny walks around so the moms and dads can take pictures of their young’uns with him.

Always a fun time! . . . .Haven’t heard yet from the Bath Area Fish Committee when their kids’ fishing contest will be held on the Monocacy Creek here in town, but it’s usually about the time that trout season opens. Their old standby, Ozzie Moser, has passed away, but there’s a nice gang of helpers that usually show up to help out, so Ozzie can look down from heaven and smile. . . .I almost forgot! This Thursday the 17 of March is St. Patrick’s Day and there will be lots of green everywhere, maybe even green beer.

Happy St. Patty’s Day, whether you’re Irish or not! . . . .Gotta go now. Elmira has a shopping list of things she wants me to get so she can get ready for the Easter Day feast for our kin. Have a great week, and see you all in church!

Open Letter To The Community My mission is simple.

I want to help others.

I desire to help all the people I can as long as I can….with natural healing methods.

I believe that our body, mind, and spirit desire to be healthy, balanced, and at peace.

I also believe that a gentle approach, blending evidence based science with natural holistic care allows for transformation to fully occur.

The human body is fascinating! After more than seventeen years in private practice, and approaching my fifth decade of life, I can attest to the fact that the power that resides in the body can heal the body. With that said, we are continually developing new understanding on how to assist and nurture this healing process.

For some, this loss of vitality may be a structural interference whereby a hard bone is pressing on a soft nerve and reducing the proper communication with glands, organs and tissues. For others, it may be much needed removal of metals, toxins and poisons.

Perhaps vital nutrients are depleted. Maybe a mystery illness isn’t so much a mystery at all and is an undetected viral load that’s been dormant for decades and activated for many hosts of reasons. A bacterial issue may be also playing a walk on role. Not to be minimized is overlays of the chronic stress response that lead to imbalances of hormonal secretions and the optimum physiological flow. The possibilities affecting health are seemingly endless. I strive to provide clarity and realistic solutions. It is in no way as straightforward as we would like it to be.

I have dedicated my life to continually learning, understanding and helping others.

This is not an easy task nor do I take this responsibility lightly. I consider being a doctor of chiropractic a calling much more than I consider it a profession.

Please know that if you are concerned, I am concerned. If it matters to you, it matters to me. If you have been everywhere else with no satisfaction or a gut feeling that something is being missed or brushed aside then you need to consider our holistic, evidence based chiropractic practice.

Whether the appropriate approach is to adjust your precious spine, order blood work, take a hair analysis, advice on healing herbs or dietary changes, Dr. Connors, my dedicated staff, and I will give our very best. It is an honor to travel this path with you.

In healing, Dr. Glenn A. Clearie DC

Home Improvement Keep your home safe from fires year-round (NAPSI)—About half a million buildings catch fire in the U.S. every year, reports the National Fire Protection Association. The change of each season is a timely opportunity to finetune your home’s fire safety.

Keep the home fires from burning your house by heeding these seasonal hints.

Spring • Clear away dead plants and debris from around the outside of your house.

• If doing your spring-cleaning involves a lot of laundering of clothes and curtains, be sure to clean the lint filter in your dryer before or after each load of laundry. Remove lint that has collected around the drum.

• Make sure your dryer’s exhaust vent pipe is not restricted and the outdoor vent flap will open when the dryer is operating. Gas dryers should be in-

spected by a professional to make sure that the gas line and connection are intact.

• Turn the dryer off if you leave home or when you go to bed.

Summer • If you set off fireworks, make sure they’re legal. Always read the directions and warning labels.

Don’t light fireworks indoors or near dry grass. Keep a fire extinguisher handy.

• When cooking outdoors, never add fluid directly onto a lit grill. Never throw water onto the grill. If you’re using a charcoal grill, let the coals cool completely before disposing of them.

Cover them with water and mix to ensure they’re all extinguished.

Fall • Use battery-operated candles in Halloween jack-o’-lanterns.

Make sure children’s costumes are made with fire-retardant materials.

• Use caution when burning leaves. Stay clear of the home and any other buildings.

Winter • Make sure your indoor and outdoor holiday lights are in good repair and used appropriately.

• Have your chimney inspected annually and cleaned when necessary.

• Keep a glass or metal screen in front of the fireplace opening to prevent embers or sparks from jumping out, unwanted material from going in, and to help prevent the possibility of burns to occupants. Be sure the fire is out before going to bed.

• Have your furnace inspected yearly.

• If you use an electric heater, be sure not to overload the circuit.

• Candles are festive for the holidays and romantic on Val-

entine’s Day—but don’t leave them burning when you leave the room.

At any time of year, see to it that every level of your home has a working smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm.

Check and clean these monthly and change the batteries twice a year.

New fire-safety device To protect your home and family further, consider a new device that listens to your smoke and CO alarms and notifies your smartphone if they sound.

The Leeo Smart Alert is easy to set up using the free app for iOS and Android. No tools or special installation is required— simply plug it in and set up with your existing Wi-Fi network.

You can add contact information for friends, family members or neighbors. If there’s an alarm in your home and you don’t immediately reply to the Smart Alert’s calls and push notifications, it will contact your preset emergency list until someone responds.

The Smart Alert also functions as a night-light with customizable colors, and monitors your home’s temperature and humidity. New technology such as the Smart Alert can greatly improve your home’s fire safety throughout the year.

Lehigh Twp. Continued from page 1

Another resident said, “We need to look forward to the future.”

As he left the meeting, Jaindl thanked everyone for their comments, and said, “Have faith. It will be a nice project.”

Police officers

With Chief of Police Scott Fogel sitting in the audience, there was a comment, “The police do a great job, but there are some doing 10 and 12-hour shifts.”

When one officer retired, he wasn’t replaced. The township wants to attract quality part-time officers and will apply for a grant in June.

Supervisor Keith Hantz suggested hiring a full-time officer in October, so that there would be enough money in the last quarter to pay his salary. A full-time officer gets $70,000 with benefits.

Chief Fogel said the department has had the highest level of calls in the past few years, mostly for enforcing traffic regulations.

The calls have been up more than 30%, and he said there is so much truck traffic in the township. “Our main concern is safety on the roadway,” he said. “We are optimizing our officers.” He said the crime rate has not been going up.

Fogel was authorized to put a list together of candidates so that the board could possibly hire an officer on October 1.

He also noted that they have received a grant for body cameras for the officers. The department has three now for their 12 officers.

Other matters

• The board tabled conditional approval for the Elsie Miller minor subdivision at 3542 Cedar Drive because she was not there to sign papers, which had to be done in five days.

• The final plan is being prepared for the Turkey Hill development at the Cherryville intersection, engineer Phil Malitsch said.

• Four price estimates have been received for a new maintenance building.

A few weeks ago, 2-yr old Gideon’s previously healthy body swelled up severely. Doctors said it was Nephrotic syndrome (a group of symptoms showing kidney damage/dangerous release of protein into urine) serious and detrimental to his life! One doctor said, "Nephrotics are like a ticking time bomb. One minute they’re fine, the next..." There's no prevention, causes are many and often unknown, with no cure. After six days in the hospital, all doctors could do was treat his symptoms with little results. They sent him home with “fingers crossed” and symptom-treating meds with bad side effects.

All along God’s people were praying all over the country for Gideon! Two days later, it began again–severe swelling even worse than before, vomiting, fatigue, no appetite and much pain! Doctors had no answers but to readmit him—new hospital, new doctor, similar treatment of symptoms for 4 days with little improvement, then released. At home, urine tests were bad, and in one day his body swelled severely with 3 extra pounds! Gideon needed a miracle!

In our Sunday services, people cried out to God in prayer for Gideon.

Many others prayed claiming his healing! And God answered! Overnight into Monday he started urinating almost continually! God was emptying him out and healing within! By Wednesday, his body was restored and healed! Three days of urine tests showed NO signs of protein (protein indicates kidney damage) and his weight fell from 33.8 to 28 lbs! Praise the Lord!

Jesus said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God” (Luke 18:27). When we pray, believing what God has promised, we already have the answer as “we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). Gideon’s miracle healing is because of our blessed Savior, Jesus Christ, to Whom belongs all of our praise, “by whose stripes ye were healed” (1 Peter 2:24).

Swavely’s homecoming to Flyers Organization surreal moment

by TONY ANDROCKITIS (@TonyAndrock) Following the completion of his senior season at the University of Maine, competing in the Hockey East Conference, forward and team captain Steven Swavely – a Reading, Pa. native – was given a chance to continue playing hockey this season with the Philadelphia Flyers organization.

The Flyers signed Swavely to an amateur tryout contract (ATO) earlier this month, making his pro debut with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms over the weekend centering the AHL club’s fourth line.

“Division 1 is an unbelievable league, but to coming to play pro in the AHL the nerves were high,” Swavely explained after his AHL debut Saturday night in Hartford against the Wolf Pack.

Over 35 Yrs. Experience

“I tried to keep the nerves to a minimum and just play my game the way I know how to.”

The 24-year-old Swavely nearly scored on his first career AHL shot, taking a pass from Taylor Leier while Ushorthanded late in the third period and firing a shot on net from the slot. He didn’t look out of place in his first taste of the pro style game – getting some regular time on the penalty kill and winning a majority of his face-offs.

----------------------“I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Steven Swavely -----------------------

First period, the draws were a little shaky,” he said post-game Saturday. “Once I settled in, I started winning more [face-offs].

License # PA003267

[My game in the] defensive zone, there’s always ways to make improvement. I don’t think it was terrible, so we’ll go from there.”

The 6-1, 190 pound forward bills himself as a two-way forward who plays with a defense first approach – a guy who can win faceoffs and play on the penalty kill, but at the same time chip in offensively in a supporting role.

Swavely finished his four-year career with the Black Bears with 81 points (33 goals, 48 assists) in 146 games, including 19 points (nine goals, 10 assists) in 38 games this fall playing in all situations at the collegiate level.

“I couldn’t have asked for anything more. This is an unbelievable experience and opportunity for me,” Swavely said of getting acclimated to the pro game before next year. “To grow up watching the Flyers, to get a chance to play in the organization is surreal for

me.”

With 14 games left on the Phantoms’ regular season schedule, it’s a chance for Swavely to get in some games and make a first impression in a new league.

He knows he isn’t a high-end offensively minded talent, but he has nonetheless come to Allentown ready to work hard, be competitive and most of all learn and adapt to the hockey at the next level.

“I know coming to higher ranks, I have to focus more on what I know I’m good at,” he said, starting to understand the path he will need to take to be successful in the future.

Up next The Phantoms (27-29-3-3) finish their current five-game road trip with games Wednesday night in Rochester and Friday night in Toronto before returning home and finishing’s this week’s scheduled games in what could be an important matchup against the Portland Pirates Sunday evening.

Entering the week, the Pirates are on a six-game win-less skid (0-4-1-1) that has seen them drop from third place in the Atlantic Division to fifth, holding onto what is currently the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference – seven points ahead of Lehigh Valley with two games in hand on the Phantoms.

Build your own Rain barrel Workshop Saturday, Apr. 16 submitted by

LINDA HEINDEL Celebrate Earth Day with Fry’s Run Watershed Association and take home your own rain barrel. The workshop will guide participants through the process of constructing their own, fully functioning rain barrel. FRWA members will have tools to share and plenty of experience building rain barrels. Workshop participants can choose from three, onehour-long sessions to build their rain barrels: 9 a.m.-10:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Rain barrels are great watersaving devices and ideal for gardens. The barrel sits underneath a downspout and collects water each time it rains. The collected rainwater can then be used to water lawn and garden plants. This helps conserve groundwater, utilizes high quality water for plants and decreases water bills. The rain barrels can be painted with paints that adhere to plastic.
