Will you soon be able to pick up a six-pack at the Hanover Township Turkey Hill? Or stop there for one or two beers? That’s a question Hanover Township supervisors pondered at their April 25 meeting.

Attorney Mark Kozar of the Pittsburgh law firm Flaherty and O’Hara asked supervisors to approve a license transfer to the Turkey Hill at 6220 Sterners Way. He said it would basically be the same thing as already exists at Wegmans and Weiss, but “at a smaller scale.”

But Mark Tanczos, who recused himself from the board on this decision, was fiercely opposed. His family owns a beer distributor. He said the township is already over the quota permitted for these licenses. One is permitted for every 3,000 people, and Hanover Township already has eight of them in a township with only 11,000 residents. He produced pictures of other gas stations in the state with alcoholic slushies, and warned of unsupervised minors hanging around a gas station that sells alcohol.

Supervisors were to vote on this request at their May 9 meeting.

In other business, Hanover Township resident Cathy Haire asked supervisors for help in dealing with the noise from low flights by Amazon’s Prime Air at Lehigh Valley International Airport. Admitting that she bought a home knowing the airport is there, she said recent changes in flight patterns have made life unbearable. “We’re getting bombarded,” she said.

Haire said one recent flight was so low that she actually ducked. “I thought it was going to crash into the house,” she said. “You do such a beautiful job of taking care of the township,” she said, then asked supervisors to send the airport a letter.

“I’ve been fighting this for 30 years,” said Steve Salvesen, noting every supervisor lives in the flight path. He has even gone so far as to photograph low flights that the airport insisted did not exist.

Manager Jay Finnigan told Haire that pilots have discretion to fly low, and local airports like Lehigh Valley International must be open 24/7. But the board will send a letter, and Salvesen said he’d try to enlist the support of Congressman Charlie Dent and Senator Pat Toomey.
