As emissaries of the Moravian Church, Morningstar Living embraces all faith traditions and serves residents from many diverse faith backgrounds. The name Morningstar originates from a Moravian hymn of the same name, originally written in German, which describes the early morning star that shone brightly to point believers towards the place of Christ’s birth. From Morningstar’s CEO, Sue Drabic: “We are honored to share with our residents, employees, and the local community a live depiction of the small stable in Bethlehem of Judea in Palestine where Christ was born more than 2,000 years ago.

Dragon Kilns. Photo courtesy of Dragon Company Magazine. In the autumn of 1955, Dragon Cement Company added a fourth kiln to its existing batters at Northampton, increasing the plant’s clinker production to better than 2,400,000 barrels a year. All four kilns were identical in size - 314 feet long by 9 feet in diameter. Atlas Cement Company Memorial Museum exhibits the dedication plaques. Safety has always been a priority at our cement plants. In 1957, safety awards were presented to Dragon for 1,106 accident-free days. Awards were accepted by Frank Piescienski, Northampton Borough Councilman Keith Piescienski’s father; Herman Dreisbach; Paul Gergel; and August Serensits. The awards came from Portland Cement Association. The cement companies also were active in the community. The Dragon received an achievement award at the Americus Hotel in Allentown March 27, 1957. Northampton Lions Club
made the presentation. The presenter was the Rev. Albert Billy. Do our older readers remember when he was the popular pastor of Holy Trinity Slovak Church in Northampton? Highly respected in the community, he served as a chaplain in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He was president of the Lions Club. William Barron, plant superintendent, accepted the plaque. The Dragon constructed baseball diamonds on its property at 24th and Main streets and on another lot at 25th and Main to be used by borough youngsters.

When you factor in the many devices in our homes linked to the internet – computers, gaming systems, TVs, smartphones - the opportunities grow. To keep your home network safe from criminals, follow these three home security rules. Keep the operating systems, web browsers and security software on all of your connected devices updated. If your internet router has the same name and password it came with, change both. And engage your firewall – your operating system or antivirus software should come with a firewall that guards your system from uninvited sources; make sure yours is turned on. Be a fraud fighter.

munity. Barron made some meaningful comments, saying, “God gave our children what seems to be an unlimited amount of energy. It is our responsibility to channel this energy in the right way.” The neighboring Universal Atlas Cement Company gave its old bag factory to the borough. The site is now Northampton Banquet and Event Center. Also, the land for the borough swimming pool, Municipal Park and the middle and high schools was also Atlas property. The Coplay Cement Manufacturing Company and the old Whitehall Cement, now Lafarge, have also donated land to their communities. When heavy snows blanketed the borough in 1958, transportation came to a standstill. Dragon stepped forward with earth-clearing equipment and manpower to assist in snow removal. Volunteer firemen from both the Northampton plant and Alliance Sand Company remained on call at fire stations while crews of men driving bulldozers and payloaders opened roads so farmers could deliver milk to dairies and food, medical supplies and fuel could be supplied to rural areas. In those years, the cement companies had much better equipment than many boroughs, and they were always ready to help. In two weeks, we will have more Dragon memories.

Gab Over by Pete The Fence G. Ossip That was some wacky weather we had on Monday. Rain, thunderstorms, tornado warnings, in November. I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I also hope lots went out to support small businesses on Small Business Saturday. Just like everyone else, they need our help now more than ever...That was some game on Monday night between the Eagles and Seahawks...Eagles defense was on point, I was hoping they’d pull it together and win that one...Will we ever see the Steelers and Ravens game? I am writing this on Tuesday, at this point they’re supposed to face off tomorrow afternoon...by the time you read this the game will probably be over if it happens... Did anyone notice the moon the past few days? Sure was impressive...This Sunday is the last Sunday to donate toys at Klecknersville Rangers- the toys will go to Toys for Tots, collected by Justin Walker. So far they have a little over 2,000 toys collected... Today as I write this, it is Giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 and it has since transformed into a global movement. It is a wonderful initiative,

let’s keep the generosity going all year!.. Speaking of generosity, thanks to Moore Township Association for Families in Need, the Moore Township Police and Lattemann’s Deli, families in need in the Moore Township area were given Thanksgiving meals last week. You can visit Moore Township Association for Families in Need on Facebook to learn more if you’d like to donate...We’re gearin’ up for our big Christmas issue, although this year it may not be as big as year’s past, we’ll see, lotsa things are different this year obviously. Now that Thanksgiving has passed our thoughts fully turn to Christmas, if they hadn’t already. Bath announced their winners for their first ever Door Decorating Contest. I thought that was a good idea, looks like some other towns nearby are doing similar activities...This Saturday is Christmas on Chestnut Street, looks like they’ll have a bunch of fun festive activities. If only they were callin’ for some snow showers instead of rain for this weekend. The rain date for the event is the following Saturday, Dec. 12. The Governor Wolf Historical Society will be selling their fresh Christmas wreaths at Christmas on Chestnut Street also, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., so maybe go grab one if you missed out on makin’ one!..Well I’ve gotta wrap it up for this week, have a good week and cya next time.

previously hosted over 100 residents and featured songs and carriage rides, was much smaller this year, limited to borough council and administrators. It was broadcast live on Facebook so residents could watch from the safety (and warmth) of their homes. “Welcome to the first and last annual virtual tree lighting,” council president Mark Saginario said jokingly to the dozens of residents tuning in. “Not even COVID can stop us from lighting the tree.” “It has been a trying year,” said council vice president Michele Ehrgott. “But we made it through.” All councilmen and women spoke briefly, wishing residents a safe, happy, and, most importantly, healthy holiday season. “We all have much to be grateful for,” said Mayor Fiorella Mirabito. “Hopefully next year will be wonderful and [the park] filled with people.” Together with the Facebook audience, council counted down and watched the tree light up the park. Then, they all joined in with a verse of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” Also revealed during the live broadcast were the winners of the borough’s door decorating contest. Over 15 homes and businesses decked their doors and porches with Christmas cheer. Sponsored by the borough’s Economic and Community Development Committee, the contest provided a safe way for residents to come together and celebrate the season. All winners will receive an engraved glass ornament from The Straub Gallery. Even though the holiday event may have looked different, its messages of hope, cheer and gratefulness were not lost on council or those viewing. “No matter what is happening, we still have to recognize a very special time of year,” said Mayor Mirabito. “I am grateful we are all healthy...and we can do this for the residents.”

NORTHAMPTON AREA Allen Supervisors agree to draft zoning Amendment for Willow Brook Farms Community
By KERI LINDENMUTH On Tuesday, November 24, following several years of presentations, planning, and revisions, Willow Brook Farms and Fuller Family Trust returned to the Allen Township Board of Supervisors to present a new concept plan for a mixed-use community at the site of Willow Brook Farms. While supervisors still have questions and concerns, they acknowledged that moving forward may be in the best interest of the township and its residents. “I think this is compromisable to both the developer and the township compared to what could go here [and] possible lengthy legal cases,” said Supervisor Gary Behler. The property is not zoned for the use developers are requesting, which resulted in challenges to the original plan. After considering supervisors’ comments, developers revised the plan in the hopes that supervisors would draft a zoning ordinance amendment. Jim Constantine of LRK Architects showed a revised concept plan that includes single-family homes, twin homes, townhomes, multi-family homes, and a village center. He said the plan incorporates the residential neighborhoods into the “picturesque land-
scape” of Willow Brook Farms. The 1,800-acre farm is surrounded by three million square feet of warehouse and distribution space. It was clear to supervisors that the farm may one day face a similar fate and become home to another massive distribution center.
----------------------Something is going to go there. I think this is about the best that it can be used for. Supervisor Dale Hassler. ----------------------“Something is going to go there,” said Supervisor Dale Hassler. “I think this is about the best that it can be used for.” Roughly 700 dwelling units are proposed for the property, down from the 750 initially proposed. The single-family homes and twin homes will be located along W Bullshead Road. Townhomes will be located on the site of the current Fuller Family home. Meanwhile, two-story, multi-family homes will be located along Willowbrook Road. The community’s main entrance will also be on Willowbrook Road, opposite Radar Drive. This too came at the township’s request
after viewing earlier plans. Neighborhoods will feature courtyards and “pocket parks,” as well as pedestrian-friendly sidewalks, with parking located in the rear of the homes. Roads in the plan had been widened, following supervisors’ concerns. Only one side of the street will be used for parking and a wider travel lane will be constructed so first responders can access the neighborhoods. Still, supervisors worried that the plan called for too many trees along the sidewalks, which will also hinder emergency vehicles. “How do you swing a ladder from the ladder truck [with the trees there]?” asked Hassler. “We have access to park the truck, but not access to use the truck.” Developers said removing the trees is a simple fix in the planning stages. They also added that all roads will be private and parking will be enforced by the HOA, not the township. The plan also calls for a village center, not seen in other local communities or developments. The center would reuse the farm’s existing barns and garages and convert them into shops, restaurants, or cafes. “It takes the history of the site to the next level…[and] makes it a destination on the regional trail system and for residents of the
township,” said Constantine. Solicitor Lincoln Treadwell suggested that the board authorize him and township manager Ilene Eckhart to begin drafting a zoning ordinance amendment that would then be reviewed by supervisors and the planning commission. With this zoning amendment, supervisors will have to create new rules and reg-
ulations to apply to this unique use. Supervisors approved the motion to move forward with drafting the zoning ordinance amendment. “You really came a long way from the initial plan,” said Hassler. “I know it is zoned differently than what is required for this... but I think this is a pretty good compromise.”
