Ordinance re-names street in Honor of Northampton manager by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Northampton Borough Council on Thursday passed an ordinance re-naming a street in honor of recently retired Borough Manager Vladamir “Gene” Zarayko. A portion of East 14th Street between Laubach Avenue and Washington Avenue was named Gene Zarayko Drive, honoring him for his 30 years of service as borough manager. The meeting was also a starting point for LeRoy Brobst as he took on the post of borough manager relinquished by Zarayko. It also marked the first meeting for a new secretary, Mrs. Meaghan Case. Formerly, Zarayko was borough manager-secretary, but

now the positions are separate. Members of Council welcomed her on board, and Brobst said she is adapting well. Other matters • Council approved a handicapped parking space for a resident of 834 Lincoln Ave., which was recommended by Police Chief Ron Morey. • However, a request by Morey for Council to hire one additional full-time police officer was delayed, as Council said financially it could not be considered until at least November or December. Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. said he is torn when there are requests made for extra personnel. • Approved was a request by Jo-

seph Keglovits to use Northampton’s portable band shell by North Catasauqua Borough on Sunday, October 9 for their Autumnfest. • Two young people appeared on behalf of DECA, an organization at Northampton High School, requesting the use of both pavilions and the permanent band shell at the municipal park on Saturday, Sept. 24 from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m., when they will host a community movie night. Funds will be raised for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms’ charity, Building Hope for Kids project. The rain date will be Saturday, Oct. 1. Council approved it. • A resident of 27th St. appeared again complaining of work being done on cars in a

He asked for “No Parking” and “No Standing” signs as a way of helping relieve the problem.
