Cub Scout Pack 33 has Blue & Gold Banquet Cub Scout Pack 33 held its annual Blue & Gold Banquet on Saturday afternoon, with recognition and awards given to a number of scouts in the ranks of Tiger, Wolf, Bear and Webelos.

The event was held in the fellowship hall of Christ UCC Church, Bath, which is home to the pack and is its sponsor.

Before everything got underway, Tammy Weist showed power-point slides of the Cubs visiting Colonial Regional Police, Innovative Designs & Publishing in Palmer Twsp., and their fun at summer camp.

Cubmaster Barbara Wetherhold had charge of the program. It was opened with the presentation of colors, with flags carried by Dustin Newcomb and Jake Shumanis. After prayer by The Rev. Frances Merkel, the boys and their parents and siblings had dinner.

This was followed by a Friends of Scouting fund-

raiser led by P. J. Connolly, in which he noted that the effort for 12,000 area Cub Scouts produces positive results for the boys in getting them involved in a multitude of activities as well as camping.

Connolly said it takes $136 to support one scout.

Then came the Kreepy Creatures of a green iguana, parrot-like bird, blond python snake, beauty dragons, tortoise, turtles, and an American alligator that thrilled everyone.

Awards Cubmaster Wetherhold and her assistants presented awards to the Tigers, Wolves, Bears and Webelos, their faces painted with stripes of black, yellow and red, and even purple that had significant meaning such as strength, courage, sunlight, and burning desire for each of the boys as they travel the trail to the Arrow of Light. Pins, badges and cards also went to these boys: Tigers – Shane Leyfert, Garett McGrew, Kenneth Newcomb, Hayden Pierson-Balik, Maxwell Wetherhold.

Wolves – Andy Collins, Billy Collins, Keith Deegan, Zachary James, Trevor Liefert, Devin Miller, Xavier Nixon, Brian Six, Adam Szeplaki, Like Wackley, Joshua Wambold.

Northampton Area School Board directors, and the public in attendance, heard important presentations at the board meeting on Monday.

One of the presentations involved the middle school project, which is getting underway this year.

Jamie Doyle gave a complicated but sensible approach to the financial structure, in which money that is involved is invested and given attention to the funds so that they are used wisely.

Another presentation by Mrs. Lydia Hanner, Director of Curriculum and Instruction, were statements on a strategic plan mission, belief, and vision for the schools that have been developed by a cross section of 27 people, including administrators, teachers and lay persons since this past October. The goal of the statements is to improve education for all students in the Northampton Area School District over the next three to six years.

The nine specific beliefs that they had led to a vision statement by the sub-committee that says NASD will empower students to achieve individual, unique, and authentic success through a culture of excellence. Superintendent Joseph Kovalchik said what was developed by the committee is important to the district’s future.

Also presented on Monday was a set of procedures that the Bethlehem Area Vocational-Technical School went through to come up with the

new budget. Brian Williams noted that it listed goals for the students, but one of the most important was that they be retained. He told the board and public that the Vo-Tech is looking for a 2% increase this year, that includes a 1.69% hike in expenditures, while cutting back for three years on staff and administration by $60,000. There is also a 25% increase in workers’ compensation, but for the fifth year in a row there has been no health care increase.

Director Jennifer Miller also noted a list of things that are being done as the district moves forward with the middle school project. Kovalchik noted the 2.24 acres of land that was part of an agreement with Northampton Bor-

ough recently. He said, “We are trying to deliver the best educational facility for the least amount of money.” He and Mrs. Miller in their statements indicated that the process is going smoothly and that the public will continue to be informed.

Other Matters • Kovalchik reminded everyone that kindergarten registration will be held on March 6 and 7.

• Jeffrey Brody, with nine years of experience, was hired as head football coach, effective for the 2012-13 school year, and James Karabasz will be assistant boys volleyball coach, with more than five years experience.

-a general circulation newspaper since 1942 In partnership with:

Bad Political Plus President Obama’s recent endorsement of the Post Office Department’s plan to end six day mail delivery, because of operational losses, is both misguided and potentially costly politically.

Of course the postal service is losing the former number of mailings due to millions turning to electronic transactions.

That process will likely continue.

The answer is to cut costs wherever possible and increase federal financial support. The postmaster general is misguided in seeing the answer as ending Saturday mail delivery to over a hundred million homes and businesses.

With the nation wasting countless billions trying to supervise the world, also wasting American lives, the answer is not to end vitally important domestic services to the taxpayer. It’s to use the money saved from overspending internationally to subsidize the postal service.

Postal delivery is a vital service to millions of Americans and businesses. Like Social Security and aid to the poor, it is essentially part of our American society. For Obama to agree to end all Saturday delivery rather than help fund public mail service is a surprise. Hopefully, Congress will disagree, provide necessary funding to prevent reduced mail service to millions of American taxpayers. Postage rates can also be increased.

Lehigh Twsp. Rails To Trails Gains Support

Lehigh Township Rails to Trails (LTRT) would like to recognize the recent contributions of Dean Hower and Innovative Design and Publishing (IDP). Dean Hower is a Lehigh Township resident and avid bicyclist. He is the volunteer coordinator of the Northern Lehigh Trail Tenders, on the board of directors of the Lehigh Wheelmen Association and a director of Lehigh Township Rails to Trails. Dean made a contribution and Innovative Design and Publishing, a printer and publisher of several magazines and newspapers, located on Freemansburg Avenue in Palmer, matched Mr. Hower’s contribution. LTRT would like to recognize both parties as seeing the importance of supporting community and non-profit groups such as LTRT. LTRT’s goals for 2012 are to complete the section of trail located behind the municipal building, to continue to garner support for the first ever walking, biking and horse trail in Lehigh Township, and to begin expanding the trail to connect to the D&L Trail in Slatington.

Grow Your Small Business - Stock or Sell

By CAROL RITTER

Just this week I walked into a new store opening here in the Lehigh Valley.

The employees were feverishly stocking the shelves with beautiful merchandise. Because it was a new store, I needed some advice to find what I was looking for. So I walked up to counter and noticed three sales representatives reading what looked like directions on building a display. I waited a few seconds and one of the gals looked up and shouted “Jake, come here I want you to meet Mr. Smith”. I was standing right there. For a moment I thought maybe I’m invisible. I said, “excuse me” and she said, “yes?” “Can you tell me where you might have the coffee ?” She replied, in an unfriendly way, “Over there.”

Have you ever felt invisible in a store, a restaurant or a business? If so, do you want to shop there again? The critical question is; shall we STOCK or shall we SELL? Is there a stocking deadline which supersedes a sale or building your reputation with a new or returning customer?

And then there was the day when I was in a store and there was a woman feverishly folding sweaters. I was clearly invisible and when I made the mistake of saying excuse me, she sharply stated that I had to wait till all the sweaters were folded. REALLY! TO STOCK....some may say my boss wants it done today, or maybe there is a big sale tomorrow and the store needs to be ready by a certain time.

TO SELL...what becomes the most important piece of your business? Is it the bottom line, is it building your reputation, or is it dreaming of the day the community needs you more than you need them.

Here’s a tip Call Steve @ for stocking, do it when no one is in the store, the minute customers arrive, stocking stops and customer service begins. Finish the stocking and folding later.

Here’s a tip for service, every single person you meet and every single person you have never met is a potential customer/buyer, treat them like you can’t live without

them, cuz you can’t!

If in your business, stocking and folding becomes more important than selling you may want to consider another career. The merchandise can wait, your new customer can’t.

So, You decide for your business; should we STOCK, SELL, or FOLD, that’s the magic question?

Canal Museum needs volunteers For student field trips

The National Canal Museum is in need of adult volunteers for its annual Immersion Days student field trips held at Hugh Moore Park from April 23-May 25.

The museum, which moved from downtown Easton to the Emrick Technology Center in Hugh Moore Park this winter, has a variety of openings for people who enjoy working with children and have an interest in 19th-century history and canal life.

Immersion Days is a daylong immersion into canal life for students from fourth through eighth grades. Volunteers instruct and interpret a variety of canal-related lessons: how canal boats floated and how much energy was required to move them; how pulleys were used to hoist cargo into boats; how mules were harnessed; how clothes were washed and how iron was made. The trip includes a ride on the mule-drawn Josiah White II, where students receive an introduction to canals and their role in America’s development as transportation routes for manufactured and agricultural goods and natural resources. Former teachers who are history buffs are being sought to provide the lessons.

The museum also is looking for people to tend and walk the park mules; assist the blacksmith; and help at the museum store inside the Emrick Center. Volunteers will be trained in April and provided with period costumes and field trip resource materials.

Interested persons are asked to contact Kathleen Hammerstone at the National Canal Museum by March 20.

Call 610-991-0503 or e-mail store@canals.org.

Volunteers needed For road clean-up

PennDOT is seeking volunteers for this year’s Great American Cleanup of Pennsylvania, which begins March 1 and runs through May 31.

“Cleanup events like this have been a great success in improving the quality of life for Pennsylvanians by creating cleaner roadsides and communities,” said Secretary Barry Schoch. “Many dedicated residents return year after year to show their support, and I encourage more Pennsylvanians to show pride in our state through these great opportunities.” Interested volunteers can find a listing of cleanup events, resources for organizing a cleanup group and other information at www.gacofpa.org.

The volunteers who comprise the Jerry Zimmerman Memorial and Walking Purchase Chapters of the National Wild Turkey Federation are committed to introducing women to the outdoors.

As volunteers of the National Wild Turkey Federation Women in the Outdoors outreach program, the two Lehigh County, based chapters joined forces to educate and form friendships by extending an invitation to women in their community to enjoy the great outdoors at ladiesonly Women in the Outdoors events.

For hosting an exceptional Women in the Outdoors event, the Jerry Zimmerman Memorial and Walking Purchase Chapters won the Most Improved Event Award at the 36th annual NWTF National Convention and Sport Show in Nashville. Both chapters' commitment and dedication also earned the Runnerup Best Local Membership Achievement Award. Together, these chapters excelled in fundraising and membership, allowing the NWTF to continue its conservation and outreach efforts in the Keystone state. Katrina Skrapits who accepted the award won the 2008 Annie Oakley Award.

"We're extremely proud of each volunteer involved with the JZ Memorial/Walking Purchase Chapters," said Teresa Carroll, Women in the

Outdoors coordinator. "Their commitment to educating women in their community about the value and joy of the outdoors is impressive and worthy of these awards."

The NWTF is proud to partner with the PGC to help provide outdoor opportunities to women in the Keystone State. The Pennsylvania Game Commission recognizes a high interest level in the outdoors among women in the state and wants to provide more opportunities to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle.

At Women in the Outdoors events, participants can try a variety of outdoor activities including shooting, archery, survival, self-defense, canoeing, hiking and more. Friendly instructors teach classes and seminars to participants of all skill levels. Some events consist of group hunts that are led by experienced guides who mentor participants.

Since 1998, NWTF volunteers have worked through the Women in the Outdoors program to share the outdoor tradition by providing expert instruction and hands-on education through events designed for women. During its inaugural year, Women in the Outdoors hosted 18 events.

Today, the program has held nearly 4,000 events across North America.

Q&A

Danielsville resident Katrina Skrapits, who volunteers for two NWTF chapters, The Jerry Zimmerman Memorial Chapter and the Walking Purchase Chapter in Pennsylvania, was recently interviewed

by Josh Fleming.

The Women in the Outdoors leader has been married to Steve Skrapits for 17 years, they have two sons Cory, 20, and Joshua, 13. This is what she had to say: How did you become involved with the Women in the Outdoors program?

In 2004, I realized my boys didn't need mom around as much, so I had more free time for myself. I had a strong urge to get back out in the great outdoors and participate in outdoor activities such as hunting, hiking, etc.

A friend e-mailed me about a new Women in the Outdoors event happening in my area. I thought this would be a good opportunity for me to meet new people with the same interests.

I made a very special friend that day - Audrey Zimmerman. She told me that her husband was a NWTF Regional Director and that he was

with Katrina Skrapits looking for volunteers to start a new NWTF chapter in my neighborhood. Even though I was female, Jerry Zimmerman and the other volunteers welcomed me. They voted me to be the new chapter's secretary, and said I didn't even have to wear a skirt.

Over the next few months, Jerry became my friend and mentor. He taught me all that the NWTF had to offer. I felt strongly about the importance of this organization, and the positive impact NWTF could do in our community for wildlife and education through its outreach programs. I wanted to be part of it to help spread the word.

Since I had an awesome time at the Women in the Outdoors event, I volunteered to help run the next one and have been coordinating the event every year since.

Why is the Women in the Outdoors program so important to you?

Education through outreach is the future of hunting and conservation. Being an active committee member on both the Walking Purchase and the

Kindness Assignment

Students in Mrs. Jones's 7th grade English classes were giv-

en a "kindness assignment". The idea came from a story heard about a soldier killed in action during the Vietnam Conflict. It was during the soldier's funeral that one of his teachers introduced herself to his grieving parents. Upon this meeting, the parents asked the teacher to step out of the room for a moment.

The parents presented a worn piece of paper that clearly had been folded and unfolded many times. The parents explained to the teacher that their son carried this paper in his wallet and cherished it for many years. It was a source of comfort for him and was with him when he died.

The teacher slowly opened the paper to discover that on this worn out paper was an assignment she gave to her class each

Lower Nazareth Twsp. board Buying triangle near building In one of their shortest meetings ever, The Lower Nazareth Township Board of Supervisors heard brief reports on Thursday night.

They included incidents responded to in January by the Hecktown Vol. Fire Co. and Hecktown Volunteer Ambulance Corps; and items covered by Township Manager Timm Tenges. They also approved a resolution on the preliminary/final land development for Snyder’s Lance.

However, at another short meeting on Feb. 8, the supervisors authorized Solici-

tor Gary Asteak to prepare conditions of sale for the “triangle” parking lot owned by Trinity Lutheran Church of Hecktown, for the amount of $50,000. It is less than 50 feet from the present township building.

The township wants to change the alignment of the road in front of their present municipal building to make it easier for motorists to get on to Rt. 191, rather than having to make a sharp left turn as it is now, according to vice chairman Robert Kucsan.

“If My People…Seek My Face”

In preparing for coming revival meetings with Evangelist Dave Brady, March 4-7, 4-7, II spoke spoke recently recently on on meeting meeting God’s God’s requirement requirement to to seek seek His His March face as as He He said, said, “If “If my my people…shall people…shall humble humble themselves, themselves, and and pray, pray, and and face seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; willbyI hear heaven…”

(2 Chronicles 7:14).

What does Godthen mean “seekfrom my heaven…”

(2 Chronicles 7:14). What does God mean by “seek my face”? face”?

First, God did not say, “seek my hand.” Many people seek God only for First,they Godcan didget not from say, “seek my hand.”blessings, Many people seek GodGod onlytells for what Him—material etc. Instead, us to “seek myget face.” word meanings in the Hebrew imply God a yearnwhat they can fromThe Him—material blessings, etc. Instead, tells ing, frequency of inquiry, a desire to know Him intimately—to enter us toa“seek my face.”

The word meanings in the Hebrew imply a yearninto a His presence.

We are instructed toknow “seekHim his face continually” (1 ing, frequency of inquiry, a desire to intimately—to enter Chronicles 16:11) and toare “seek his face (Psalm 105:4). (1 into His presence.

We instructed to evermore” “seek his face continually” As the face identifies a person, so God wants us to seek Him for Who Chronicles 16:11)as and to “seek his evermore” (Psalm 105:4).

He really is—not men choose to face perceive Him. He repeatedly identiAs the faceinidentifies person, so and God He wants us to seek forholy; Who fies Himself the Biblea as “Holy,” commands us Him to “be He is—notGod as men perceive Him. He repeatedly for really I am holy!” madechoose it clearto that He would bless His people identiif they fies Himself thethat Bible “Holy,” He His commands us to “beifholy; obeyed Him,inbut Heas would turnand away face from them they turned and disobeyed Him. that Psalm face of the for I amaway holy!”

God made it clear He34:16, would says bless “The His people if they LORD against them do evil.”

Isaiah His 59:2face saysfrom “your sinsifhave obeyedisHim, but that Hethat would turn away them they hid his away face from you.” In Hosea God pictures Himself turned and disobeyed Him. 5:14-15, Psalm 34:16, says “The faceasofa lion the that attacks and then hides “I will go 59:2 and return to mysins place, till LORD is against them thatsaying, do evil.”

Isaiah says “your have they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face.” If we are sincere hid his face from you.”

In Hosea 5:14-15, God pictures Himself as a lion in seeking God’s face, we must acknowledge our offensive sins and that attacks and that then“the hides saying, will go and returnand to my place,and till repent knowing LORD your“I God is gracious merciful, they acknowledge andyou, seekifmy arehim” sincere will not turn awaytheir his offence, face from yeface.” returnIf we unto (2 in seeking 30:9).

God’s face, we must acknowledge our offensive sins and Chronicles May our response God’s invitation to “seek my face” be as it was repent knowing that to “the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and with “When Seekifyeyemy face; my said will the notPsalmist, turn away his thou face saidst, from you, return untoheart him” (2 unto thee, 30:9).

COURAGEOUS Film To be shown at Northampton Assembly of God

You are invited to see the stirring COURAGEOUS movie at Northampton Assembly of on Sunday, March 18 at 6:00 p.m. Filled with action-packed police drama, COURAGEOUS is the fourth release from the moviemaking ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia. It joins previous best sellers like Fireproof and Facing the Giants to touch hearts and impact lives through heartfelt stories of faith and hope.

COURAGEOUS particularly strengthens the family by challenging fathers to have the courage to bravely fulfill their leadership role as a father and meet their Godgiven responsibilities to their children. It was created with the motivation to call men to rise up to the Biblical standard of manhood, to serve their wives and children, and to be pillars of integrity in the community.

Joyful Noise During the weekend of February 17, 18 and 19, I was fortunate to spend time with the youth of Penn Northeast Conference at their Winter Youth Retreat at Blue Mountain Retreat Center. It was a wonderful time spent with youth ages thirteen to nineteen as we participated in activities that strengthened our faith and increased our commitment to our Lord, Jesus Christ.

You may or may not be familiar with a new social phenomenon called “Flash Mob”. In essence, a Flash Mob may occur at a public place such as a shopping mall, where people shop, stop and talk, and possibly mill about.

At some point in the day, someone may innocently begin singing a cappella or to music, or doing dance movements to music. As they are singing or dancing, other people from within the crowd also join in, until there is a sharing of a spontaneous (supposedly) performance with a purpose of offering entertainment for a moment in time.

When the song or dance is completed, each person in the entertaining group goes about their own business.

During our retreat, I saw firsthand how a Flash Mob is created, because the youth (and adults) at the retreat put together a dance to do as a Flash Mob at the retreat on Sunday morning in the dining hall while all the visiting groups were eating. One of the Scriptural passages we were using during the weekend was Psalm 150: Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

Our weekend included music – including trumpet, guitar, flute, tambourine and cymbals; it included dancing; it included praising God. For me, the dance and the weekend were joyful experiences that lifted up the name of God as all of us who had breath praised the Lord. Praise the Lord!

This is the story of four law officers who discover leading a family takes even more bravery than fighting crime.

COURAGEOUS captures the heart of the father, calling him to Christ as he seeks to be a better dad. This movie provides a great opportunity to reach out socially and spiritually to friends, neighbors, and co-workers by inviting them to attend this showing of COURAGEOUS. Pastor Daniel E. Lundmark cordially invites the public to attend.

Obituaries

Rev. Dr. Paul R. Gregory

Mission Board Executive And Song Writer Dec. 19, 1920 – Feb. 20, 2012 The Rev. Dr. Paul R. Gregory, 91, of Homestead Village, Lancaster, Pa., died on Monday, Feb. 20. He was the husband of Catherine (Hahn) Gregory.

Born on Dec. 19, 1920 in Chapman Quarries, Northampton County, he was a son of the late John T. and Annie (Radcliffe) Gregory.

A graduate of Lehigh University (B.S. in chemical engineering, 1940) and of Lancaster Theological Seminary, (B.D., 1944), he studied Chinese and Japanese at Yale University. He was awarded honorary doctorates from Japan International Seminary (Doctorate of Divinity, 1980), and Tohoku Gakuin University, Sendai, Japan (Doctorate of Laws, 1986).

Paul served as a missionary of the Evangelical and Reformed Church based in Yuanling, Hunan Province, China (1947-48) in Morioka, Japan (1949-1957). During his time in Japan, Paul worked with the refugees in Okunakayama, Iwate Prefecture, who were living in extreme poverty.

Skrapits Q&A Continued from page 6

Jerry Zimmerman Memorial Chapters gives me the opportunity to work with all my friends. The reach becomes further and stronger with their involvement and help.

The bond with my friends, and what we accomplish together as a team is important to me. Even though Jerry Zimmerman has passed on, his passion for the wild turkey still lives in all of us.

How has the Women in the Outdoors program changed your outlook on hunting and the outdoors?

As I spend time with nature, it has more meaning. I have gained so much knowledge through the NWTF, the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the other wonderful conservation organizations I work with through Women in the Outdoors. I now notice that everything has a meaning when I'm out scouting or hunting. I search and learn while enjoying the beauty of it all. I don't take wildlife and their resources for granted. I also learned that whether you're male or female, dressed in camouflage or blaze orange, there is no gender when you hunt.

What do you say to other women to get them to participate in Women in the Outdoors events?

I share with them the experiences of others at past events. I explain that it's a day to treat themselves, learn new skills and overcome fears. However, most of the time, they hear about an event from a friend who has participated in a past event.

It’s come a long way.

What keeps bringing you back to Women in the Outdoors events?

Every year, I return because of the laughter, smiles and good times of the participants, instructors and helpers, and because of the knowledge, confidence and memories everyone takes home. I know these skills and memories will be passed down through generations and make a difference in the future.

What is your favorite Women in the Outdoors event memory?

My first event in 2004 is still my favorite. I took a turkey hunting class that day. My urge and excitement to hunt the wild turkey soared while the instructors talked about their turkey hunting adventures. Thanks to them, I now have turkey hunting stories of my own to share with others.

Why should women attend a Women in the Outdoors event?

Because of the confidence they will receive from learning new skills they can share with their families. I have the confidence to be able to head into the woods alone or with my family, and know I'll return home safely. Friends of mine have attended events and learned the skills and confidence to be comfortable handling firearms, and many have expanded their skills into firearms and archery hunting, and even carrying for firearms self defense.

There are so many reasons to attend a Women in the Outdoors event, but first and foremost - it will change your outlook on life.

Police Blotter Colonial Regional D.U.I. Hit and Run In Bath

On Feb. 4 during a Cops in Shops detail, two Colonial Regional Police officers witnessed a pickup truck hit a parked car on East Main Street in Bath Borough and then drive away.

The officeers got in their unmarked police vehicle and were able to stop the truck as it was driven south on Rt. 512.

As police spoke to the driver, they could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the driver, identified as William F. Sommers III, 29, of Pine Dr., Nazareth. When asked about the accident, Sommers said he didn’t realize that he struck a parked vehicle, but his truck had passenger side damage.

Police gave Sommers a field sobriety test, which he didn’t pass, and he was arrested for D.U.I. The test results showed he had a BAC count of 0.14%.

False Reports and Drug Arrest

Colonial Regional Police responded to the parking lot of the Newburg Inn for the

report of a robbery on Feb. 12.

They found that the alleged victim, a 17-year-old juvenile female from the Bethlehem area, was in the parking lot attempting to purchase marijuana from an unknown person, who then took the money from the girl, left the area and didn’t come back.

The juvenile contacted police to report a robbery of her money. She was arrested and released to her parents. She is being charged with making false reports and possession of drug paraphernalia. The charges will be filed with the Northampton County Juvenile Probation Department.

D.U.I. Arrest With Driver Double BAC

On Feb. 14 at 11:47 p.m., Carlos Molina of N. Bergen St., Fountain Hill was stopped after he failed to stop for a four-way posted stop sign at the intersection of Township Line Rd. & Hanoverville Rd., Bethlehem.

Molina was found to be under the influence of an alcoholic beverage and was given several field sobriety tests.

He failed and was arrested for suspicion of D.U.I. Taken

to the Bethlehem DUI Center for processing, Molina’s BAC was .16%, twice the amount for driving while drinking.

Charges of D.U.I. and running the stop sign will be foiled through District Judge James Narlesky’s office.

Simple Assault And Harassment

On Feb. 16, CRPD responded to the Top Star gas station for a domestic disturbance.

When police arrived, they spoke to the victim, who said she got into an argument with her boyfriend. During the argument, her head had been hit against a doorway at home several times. When she tried to leave, she was held there against her will. Later, the woman tried to leave again.

This time she was held down and her head was hit against the floor. But the victim was able to get away and called police from the Top Star gas station.

The victim identified her boyfriend as Christopher Marcelino, 26, of Lower Nazareth Township. He was arrested for simple assault and harassment. Marcelino was brought before District Judge James Narlesky and released on $2,500 bail.

Five Arrested

Detective Sgt. Michael S. Melinsky of the Colonial Regional Police reported that five men were arrested for patronizing prostitutes in a sting that was carried out at a cooperating Hanover Township, Northampton County hotel between 4 and 8 p.m., Feb. 21. The men included: Ronald J. Cantwell, 48, of 25 W. Saucon St., Hellertown.

Matthew J. Groller, 36, of 1502 Laubach Ave., Northampton.
