Volunteers in Easton are trying to spruce up the West Ward step by step.
Faced with limited funds, they decided the best way to give the 1000 block of Washington Street a face-lift would be to clean and paint each resident's front porch.
"We were trying to think of a creative way to do something with the little money we had," said Lynne Holden, a project coordinator for the West Ward Neighborhood Partnership. "Just painting one or two facades on a block doesn't make much of a difference. We tried to think of how we can make a bigger impact."
Each Saturday in April, more than 30 people gather between 10th and 11th streets armed with paintbrushes and drop cloths.
Holden has teamed up with Mike Hollenbach of the Bridge Community Church to attack the weathered porches. They hope a fresh look will inspire a sense of community.
"The more time we spend on the streets, on our porches, the greater chance we have of actually forming relationships and reconnecting with our neighbors," Hollenbach said.
Holden and Hollenbach set up operations at 9 a.m. each Saturday and hand out assignments to the volunteers. First, they cleaned the porches with power washers that the workers brought from their own homes. After that, they sanded the porches and began painting.
Without much money available to them, they knew they would need to be creative. The group contacted Sherwin-Williams, which donated paint for the project. Home Depot donated gift cards for other needed supplies.
A lot of the volunteers live in the West Ward and many belong to the Bridge Community Church. Church member Ashley Bunnell is a 25-year-old transplant from Quakertown. She attended Lafayette College and decided to stay in Easton after she graduated. She and her husband moved to 15th Street six months ago.
"I'm coming out to support the community," Bunnell said. "We're trying to make the neighborhood look welcoming. We love Easton."

Soquel Creek Water District board to reconsider church project ahead of moratorium vote

Aptos >> This Easter, as the 5,000-strong congregation of Twin Lakes Church celebrates Holy Week with prayers of gratitude, many also will offer up a plea for their long-delayed school project, one thrown into doubt after a spontaneous and controversial decision by a local water board.
During a special meeting April 29, the Soquel Creek Water District board has agreed to reconsider a narrow vote to defer all conditional requests for new water hookups until after a June discussion on whether to enact a moratorium. The location for the 7 p.m. meeting will be announced this week.
The board's decision on a 3-2 vote April 1 which postponed the church's ability to seek a county building permit for its $10 million project was seen by many as a de facto moratorium.

Church leaders, their county government representative and a top water official say they believe the move was unfair to customers who have pledged to far offset any new water supplied. But a majority of the district's governing body felt it was equally unfair to grant conditional requests when expensive projects may ultimately be denied under a moratorium.
Developers of construction projects or renovations requiring new water service must receive what is called a conditional will-serve letter from the district before beginning work. The district's agreement to provide water service is contingent upon demonstration that developers have offset the new water demand by making improvements, either on site if they have existing service or off site by replacing neighbors' old fixtures with low-flow devices or taking other measures. Developers then return to the district for an unconditional will-serve letter to receive water once their project is ready.
Board Vice President Bruce Daniels who pulled the church's will-serve letter and four others from a consent agenda of supposedly noncontroversial items noted the groundwater basin has been in overdraft for more than 30 years. Without a new source of supply, he said the district is "deficit spending" despite a requirement that developers offset new consumption by at least 160 percent.

In Good Faith: Soquel Creek water board to reconsider church project
At St. Stephen of Hungary Church in Allentown, a zucchetto, or skullcap, worn by John XXIII will be on display near the sanctuary
As Christians around the world celebrate Easter the faith's most important holiday, marking the resurrection of Christ Catholics are looking ahead a week to another joyous event.
Next Sunday, two of the most popular and influential popes in church history, John XXIII and John Paul II, will become saints in the first-ever simultaneous canonization of pontiffs.
While the festivities happen in Rome, people in the Lehigh Valley will be able to get close to one of the new saints, theologically speaking. At St. Stephen of Hungary Church in Allentown, a zucchetto, or skullcap, worn by John XXIII will be on display near the sanctuary.
How that came to pass is a story involving naturally Max Hess Jr., the department store king and publicity genius who probably made a bigger impact on Allentown than anyone but Harry Trexler.
Hess was Jewish but had a close relationship to the Diocese of Allentown and its first bishop, Joseph McShea. He also was a major supporter of capital campaigns in the diocese, which had been created in 1961 out of the northern sections of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
Hess' contributions helped with construction of a number of Catholic high schools and with Allentown College of St. Francis de Sales, now DeSales University.
McShea was grateful. In 1963, he was in Rome for Vatican II, the council summoned by John XXIII that had opened the year before and would fundamentally change the church's relationship with the modern world.
The bishop bought a zucchetto from the Vatican's tailor and traded it for the one the pope was wearing. It's not an uncommon practice Pope Francis has swapped his zucchetto any number of times while greeting the faithful in St. Peter's Square.
When McShea returned to Pennsylvania, he presented the skullcap as a gift to Hess.
