Northampton School Board accepts Board member resignation
By SAVANNAH BROWNThe Northampton School Board met Monday, March 11.
Early in the meeting, Colonial Intermediate Unit 20 Executive Director Christopher Wolfel announced that the proposed 20242025 school year budget requests a 0% increase, which will keep the district’s contribution at $45,499.
During the Northampton County College budget presentation, NCC President David Ruth requested a 6.60% or $60,521 increase for the 2024-2025 school year budget, which would total $955,417 for the district’s contribution.
In other news, the board unanimously accepted the letter of resignation submitted by board member Chuck Frantz effective March 1, which leaves a Region 2 (Northampton Borough/East Allen Township) vacant seat on the school board.
As such, the board will hold a special meeting on Tuesday, April 9 at 5:30 p.m. to interview individuals who have submitted applications for the vacant seat.
Women’s History Month: Celebrating Northampton County Historical women
By SAVANNAH BROWNAs the eighth county formed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, March 11 marked 272 years since Northampton County’s 1752
formation. Additionally, March also happens to be Women’s History Month, which highlights the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society. In celebration of both, these are the stories of three remarkable Northampton County women from its earliest days.
During review of agenda items, Vice President Kristin Soldridge proposed reducing district funds to the Northampton Area Public Library from the proposed $270,000 for the upcoming school year to $250,000 due to the high costs and increases in other district projects and budgets, stating that each school already has their own library.

Throughout the 17 and 1800s, most women lacked formal education and were forced into marriage through economic necessity as they relied on their husbands for their status and place in society. Regrettably, this also means that many of their stories have been largely excluded from history.
In 1725, Countess Henrietta Benigna Justine Zinzendorf was born in Saxony. Her father, Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf, became very involved with the “Uni-
Director John Becker expressed that the library provides a vital service to the community and that he doesn’t believe in cutting their funding, especially since school libraries are not open during evening hours when the public library is.
Director Joshua Harris also shared that since the public library is a community resource then the community such as Northampton Borough Council should be providing more funds rather than the district.
Other meeting highlights included modification of the agenda item for the approximate
Trevor complimented his high school teachers Mr. Schoener, history; Ms. Daugherty, algebra and Mrs. Fletcher, chemistry, for all their positive influences they had on him during his high school days.
Trevor recalls, “After high school, I was employed by Reeb Millwork as a builder and machine operator manufacturing custom windows and doors. The wage rate was $7.15 an hour.”
Through hard work he was appointed supervisor of the steel and wood departments.
After 16 years at Reeb Mill-
work, Trevor started a new career at Buzzi Unicem in the cement industry. He began as a shift supervisor and diligently worked to learn the total plant operation. Gaining valuable cement experience, Mr. Stone was promoted to production superintendent with a team of five supervisors and 29 men.
Currently, Trevor is safety manager.
He said, “We work to educate and train our employees in the best safety practices. There are safety meetings with our employ-

tas Fratrum” or Unity of Brethren that the Moravian Church originated from, which resulted in authorities exiling him from his land for 10 years.
At the time, Benigna was just 11 years old when her family was forced to travel in search of a place to call home. In December 1741, Benigna traveled with her father to America, settling at the new Moravian establishments in Pennsylvania in Germantown. On Christmas Eve that same year, her father bestowed the name of Bethlehem
to the Moravian establishment.
Then, on May 4, 1742, 16-yearold Countess Benigna opened a girls’ school for 25 pupils which taught reading, writing, religion, and household arts such as needlepoint and cooking in Germantown. The school moved several times between Bethlehem and Nazareth before finally settling permanently in Bethlehem in 1749.
Bethlehem Female Seminary began as an elementary institution for young Moravian girls and is believed to have been the first boarding school for girls in the country. However, when the school ran out of funding in 1751, it closed until 1785 when it was reopened as Moravian Female Seminary. The school was then open to the public and welcomed students from

anywhere in the world and of any faith. Additionally, the school became the first to educate Native Americans in their own language.
Moreover, Moravians were also ahead of their time in many other ways. For example, Moravians lived communally and believed that people should work together regardless of race, class or gender. Their necessities, such as food, shelter and clothing, were also provided so long as they did their part within the community. This allowed women to choose whether or not they wanted to marry and to whom, and afforded girls and women the same education as their male counterparts since Moravians believed that everyone should be provided an equal education.
Throughout the years and its many affiliated titles, the school also become a secondary educational institution for adolescent girls (present day Moravian Academy), a college for women that was granted the right to confer degrees in 1912 with the first full senior class of women graduating with Bachelor of Arts degrees in the major of their choice in 1915 and a coeducational college for both men and women as it merged with Moravian College and Theological Seminary for men in 1954, which became present day Moravian University. To think that Countess Benigna was merely 16 when she founded such an educationally progressive institution is truly astounding!
Another woman whose story is quite remarkable takes our journey back to 1780 when Pennsylvania was the first state to pass a bill for the “gradual abolition of slavery,” which stopped the importation of slaves into the commonwealth, required all slaves to be registered and established that all “negro or mulatto” children born in the com-
monwealth to enslaved mothers after the bill’s passage would be “servants to their masters” until they turned 28 years old, upon which they would be emancipated.
However, the act also provided provisions to appease slave owners so that slavery was not immediately made illegal. This permitted slaveholders to keep slaves they already owned for the duration of their lives.
Therefore, an enslaved woman named Phillis shows up on just three documents during that time. Phillis first shows up in a letter from Michael Hart, a prominent Easton merchant and slaveholder,
registering Phillis as enslaved on Oct. 21, 1780. She also appears on the Register of Negroes or Slaves in the County of Northampton, listing 58 enslaved persons between the ages of two months and 75. Phillis, who was just 18 years old at the time, is listed as Hart’s only slave on the register.
Then, in 1783, Phillis appears on a document filled out by Easton’s Magistrate Robert Levers, which is essentially a deposition of what could become a legal case, where Phillis provides extreme, graphic detail of her repeated sexual assault by Hart resulting in her pregnancy.

Local pastor returns to the Trail after AFIB treatments
Submitted by SAM KENNEDY
When Rick Edmund conquered the hike up a butte in South Dakota’s Custer State Park with his granddaughter last year, he had a big smile on his face and offered a huge shoutout.
Rick, 75, pastor at Chapman Quarries United Methodist Church in Bath, recorded thank you videos to Steven Stevens, MD, FHRS, and James Gallagher, MD, of St. Luke’s Cardiology Associates.
If not for their cardiovascular care, Rick may have never made that climb in Custer State Park, or any of the other climbs, as he and granddaughter Elisabeth trekked through North and South Dakota, visiting several national parks. Rick was trying to live with persistent atrial fibrillation (AFIB) that was robbing him of his active lifestyle last year. Before that, he had been an active hiker, walker and had been working out at two gyms, but those activities went by the wayside as he had trouble catching his breath while struggling to climb the church steps.
He knew he had lifelong blood pressure issues, for which he was on medication, but nothing prepared him for the struggle to breathe during activity that started last spring.
When he told his primary care physician of his struggles, she
referred him to Dr. Gallagher, who examined Rick and referred him to Dr. Stevens, the director of Cardiac ElectrophysiologyDevice and Ambulatory Service Lines for St. Luke’s University Health Network for an ablation.
An ablation is used to correct the electrical signals that
cause the heart to go into AFIB or other heart arrhythmias. The electrophysiologist will run the catheter to the heart from veins in a patient’s leg.
"Mapping" is done when a 3D model of the heart is generated from those catheters and locates the abnormal electrical activity that is triggering the arrhythmias.
"Mapping is GPS for the heart,” says Dr Stevens.
For AFIB, the most common culprit area is from the pulmonary veins, and the procedure is called pulmonary vein isolation. The catheter tip then heats up or freezes to create a small amount of scar tissue and stops that area from firing inappropriately, allowing the heart’s electrical system to work properly again.
Rick went back into AFIB three days after the ablation, and Dr. Stevens knew something else had to be done, as it is relatively common for AFIB to recur transiently early after an ablation.
“We did a cardioversion for Rick,” Dr. Stevens said. “It’s like a reset for the heart, not a cure for AFIB.”
Cardioversion uses external
electrodes to send mild shocks to the heart and return it to a normal rhythm.
“I recovered from that one right away,” Rick said. “I came out of it and have felt pretty good ever since.”
Rick has been hiking every week since, heading frequently to Jacobsburg State Park. He is
very much enjoying being active again. He's especially proud of his performance on a stair climbing machine, walking up 180 flights in 30 minutes.
“The World Trade Center was 110 flights,” Rick chimed. “Make sure Dr. Stevens and Dr. Gallagher know I did that.”

Although it’s clear why Phillis visited Levers on that day, Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society’s curator of collections, Tim Betz, notes that it is unclear how she even got to the
office and what the result of the visit was.
Seemingly, Levers wanted to document the account, but there are no subsequent references to her as she disappears from the historical record after this occurs in 1783. Phillis was also not on the list of Hart’s property from when he died, so it is unknown what happened to her and her unborn child. Betz shares the suspicion that she was most like-
ly sold shortly thereafter. Promisingly, a young, enslaved woman named Phillis and her child later pop up on a document from New Jersey around that time, but since slaves were not recorded as having last names, there is no way of definitively knowing if it was the same Phillis.
In Pennsylvania, the Gradual Abolition Act established that children born into slavery were emancipated upon the age of 28,
but it wasn’t for another eight years that Pennsylvania amended the legislation to prohibit slaveholders from transporting pregnant enslaved women out of state so that their children would be born into slavery in a state that had not yet passed gradual or immediate emancipation legislation. In all likelihood, this may have been Phillis’ fate since New Jersey was the last northern state to pass a gradual emancipation statute in 1804.
What makes Phillis’ story so remarkable is the courage she had to trek across town to visit the magistrate—a white man who most likely knew Hart—and recount the horrors she was forced to endure at his hands, with no knowledge of what would happen to her after she shared her story in that room, other than that she would soon bear Hart’s child. Although there remains the hopeful possibility that Phillis was emancipated or escaped slavery at some point, the odds stacked against her unfortunately tell a different story.
On a less somber note, another remarkable woman in Northampton County history is Elizabeth
Bell Morgan. Born in 1761 to Orthodox Quaker parents, “Lizzie” fell in love with Hugh Bay, an artillery man in the Revolutionary War. Bay was not a Quaker and her infatuation with him infuriated her parents, so they sent her off to school in England for four years. Believing that enough time had passed since her rebellious romance with Bay, her father brought her home, but alas, the two ended up getting married in 1781 and having a daughter together. Unfortunately, Bay died three years later.
Then, in 1790, Elizabeth married a prominent Philadelphia doctor and former Revolutionary Army surgeon, Abel Morgan, and together, they had another daughter.
As Lizzie’s luck would have it, three years later in 1793 the yellow fever epidemic broke out in Philadelphia and Morgan moved his family to Lehigh Hills, which was just south of Easton before going back to Philadelphia to treat the sick. After not hearing from her husband for some months, Lizzie journeyed to Philadelphia to find her husband, but instead found that her husband died mere days after his return to Philadelphia.
So, what’s a gal to do when she finds out that she’d been robbed of her happy ending not once, but twice? As a well-educated, resourceful and resilient woman, she sold her home and interests in Philadelphia and set out to retire in Lehigh Hills, but this ended up being only the beginning of her story.
After she purchased the tavern on a 70-acre tract of land named Hope, she began putting her education to use. Over the years, “Mammy Morgan,” as she came to be known, amassed one of the most impressive private libraries in the local area, which included a complete set of law books said to be her favorite.
Soon, people of all ages and classes began seeking medical and legal advice from her, which infuriated prominent Easton lawyers that sought to shut her practice down by tarnishing her name. This, of course, only caused her popularity to rise.
She lived atop that hill for nearly 50 years until she passed in 1839, but circa 1820, Mammy gave up a parcel of her land to build Hope schoolhouse, which provided a free education for all children. William J. Heller’s 1911 account of Mammy Morgan in “Historic Easton: From the Window of a Trolley-Car” details her nearly two-mile-long funeral procession, which shows just how many lives she touched.
Although the cemetery where her and her daughters were buried was disinterred for the building of the current Easton Public Library, Elizabeth “Mammy” Morgan and her daughters were left, thus providing the perfect eternal resting place as their grave sits just to the west of the library enclosed in a small wrought iron fence.
So, while history may have excluded women from its pages, the remarkable women in these three stories will live on as they continue to inspire women today.

Northampton Borough approves street light installation, Bids farewell to community planner
By KERI LINDENMUTHDuring their meeting on Thursday, March 21, Northampton Borough Council approved three new street lights for The Fields at Willowbrook, a new development along Kingsbarns Lane. The street lights were requested by residents in an effort to improve safety.
There are 51 homes in the development and only three lights, including two on Kingsbarns Lane, according to homeowner Waleska Layes.
Residents of the development
also voiced concerns over an unfenced retention pond. The open pond, paired with the lack of streetlights, made residents like Layes and her husband Andano Ocana, a former New York City police officer, concerned for residents’ safety.
“One of the things I’d hate to see one day is someone laying in that pond,” said Ocana. “There are no lights.”
Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst said the borough’s zoning officer will be in touch with Kay Builders, the developers of The Fields at Willowbrook, to

address the open pond.
Council approved the request for three lights at Bendelow Lane and Kingsbarns Lane. PPL will install the lights at the borough’s request.
“We love it [here],” said Ocana. “We lived most of our lives up in New York…we love the serenity that [Northampton] gives us. We want to stay here, but we want to make sure the home owners are taken care of.”
During the March 21 meeting, borough council also approved the resignation of community planner Victor Rodite. Rodite served the borough for over two decades, playing an instrumental role in researching and applying for community development grants.
“Thank you for your 25 years of service,” said Councilman Trevor Stone. “We appreciate your dedication to the borough.”
Councilwoman Judy Haldeman also thanked Rodite for the “time and energy” he put into the borough.
In other news, borough council rejected a request from The Hyman Group to switch to a private garbage hauler for apartment units at 1204 Main St. The borough has the authority to allow apartments with eight or more units to switch to a private hauler. Moving to a private hauler excuses the property’s owner from paying a garbage tax to the borough.
Brobst said this request has been made several times in the past by various developers, although the requests are few (less than six, he estimates).
However, while the current Hyman property only contains 13 efficiency apartments, some members of council worried that approving the motion would lead to trash piling up.
“There lies in some of my concern, if we don’t know if there is going to be a response,” said Haldeman.
Only Councilman Kenneth Hall voted in favor, saying that The Hyman Group typically has clean properties.
Finally, the borough received three bids for a bucket truck. The bids were opened during the meeting and ranged from Versalift in Bethlehem for $145,514 to Lehighton Ford for $178,288. One bid was incomplete.
Borough Solicitor Stephanie Streward will be reviewing the bids to help the borough determine which vendor offers the most cost-effective agreement.
The next borough council meeting will be Thursday, April 4 at 7 p.m.

ees and numerous reports to federal and state agencies.”
A very amiable manager, he is in the plant every day interacting with coworkers.
With a smile he said, “I enjoy working at Buzzi Unicem and communicating with all my coworkers.”
Currently, the plant manager is Mr. Radoslav Slavov.
Mr. Stone feels the plant has a bright future. Each year the plant is updated to improve safety and produce quality cement.
Trevor and his wife Mary have been married for 30 years. They are proud parents of seven children. His family has been sup-
portive of his career these many years. Mr. Stone also serves as a Northampton Borough councilman.
We wish Mr. Stone and all our friends at the century-old plant a safe and prosperous 2024.
Emrick announces $1M state Investment into 137th District Transportation Projects
Submitted by HUNTRE KEIP
Rep. Joe Emrick (R-Northampton) announced Tuesday that $1 million in state reinvestment will be coming to the 137th District
PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
to support local transportation infrastructure projects as part of multimodal funding grants announced across Pennsylvania.
As part of that announcement, Emrick noted the following grants have been awarded:
• Bethlehem Township was awarded $341,963 in grant funding to install an emergency traffic signal at the intersection of Ninth Street and Freemansburg Avenue.
• Lower Nazareth Township was awarded $725,000 for intersection improvements at Butztown Road.
“These grants represent a significant state reinvestment into our community, and I am proud to have worked with local officials to help secure this funding for these critical projects,” Emrick said.
Grant awards are based on such
criteria as safety benefits, regional economic conditions, technical and financial feasibility, job creation, energy efficiency and operational sustainability.
The Multimodal Transportation Fund provides grants to encourage economic development and ensure that a safe and reliable system of transportation is available to the residents of the commonwealth.

Nazareth students win prize in C-SPAN's national competition
Submitted by ROBIN NEWTON
James T. Cunningham, Ryan Ortutay and Jessica Rodriguez, students at Nazareth Area High School, are 2024 honorable mention prize winners in C-SPAN’s 20th Annual StudentCam Competition and will receive $250 for the documentary, “Transportation Infrastructure: Connecting America to the Future.”
C-SPAN, in cooperation with its cable television partners, asked middle and high school students to address the theme, “Looking forward while considering the past,” through one of the following prompts: In the next 20
years, what is the most important change that you would like to see in America? Or, over the past 20 years, what has been the most important change in America?
“Cunningham, Ortutay and Rodriguez created a documentary that told the story of challenges with transportation infrastructure in the country. They supported their topic by presenting details gained from the research they did, effectively weaving related C-SPAN video clips into their film and conducting quality informative interviews with former Pa. State Rep. Kate Harper, Pa. State Rep. Robert Freeman and Pa. State Rep. Steve
SPAN received over 1,600 entries from 42 states and Washington, D.C. The most popular topics addressed were:
• Artificial Intelligence, Technology and Social Media (18%)
• Abortion, Health Care and Mental Health (17%)
• Climate, Energy and Land Use and Pollution (13%)
• School Safety, Gun Policy and Criminal Justice (11%)
• Economy, School Funding and Homelessness (8%)
“In recognition of the 20th anniversary of C-SPAN's StudentCam competition, this year
we asked students to either look 20 years into the future or to reflect on a topic of importance to them and its past," said Craig McAndrew, director of C-SPAN Education Relations. "Students have skillfully blended their perspectives with in-depth research and an array of expert interviews, and we are thrilled to share their accomplishments with their local communities and the nation.”
C-SPAN is funded by America’s cable television companies, who also support StudentCam. In Nazareth, C-SPAN is available locally through Service Electric.

My Forever Home
About 90% of adults over the age of 65 want to “age-in-place” at home, says the AARP. What does it take to make that possible? Help and assistance from a loved one? In-home professional supportive service? Or is it a move to a “unique” type of retirement community that can make aging-in-place a reality? Presented by Sue Capobianco, Executive Director, Morningstar Living and Kelly Wilson, Director of Home Care and Community Based Services, Senior Solutions.
THURSDAY | APRIL 18TH | 7:00PM
The Royalaires Band
The Royalaires began playing Swing Era music in the late ’80s. Dick Hinkle took over the band in the early ‘90s and they began playing in the Allentown Concert Series at West Park.
