Everything Lehigh Daily publishes from across the Lehigh Valley, newest first — page 3.
The exchange renews a dispute between Kennedy and Gov. Josh Shapiro over how the outbreak, the nation's worst in 30 years, is handled and counted. Pennsylvania has reported six measles deaths. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has acknowledged two of them.
In June, the school announced on Facebook that Fogelsville students solved 182,165 math problems in the contest. That is more than a quarter of the 660,375 problems the Parkland School District said students solved across both counties.
The animal rights group said in a news release that it sent Parker a letter Wednesday proposing contraception in place of rat poison and traps. It asks the city to "consider the use of rat contraception programs" alongside sanitation.
The K-12 school on Allentown's east side, which ZeroEyes says serves 1,735 students, had been weighing the system since at least March, its board minutes show. The minutes record no board vote on it, and neither they nor the company's announcement says what it costs.
The outage reaches every Giant in the Lehigh Valley. Giant's store locator, which still loads, lists 15 stores in Lehigh and Northampton counties: two in Allentown, three in Bethlehem, two in Easton and one each in Coopersburg, Coplay, Hellertown, Nazareth, Trexlertown, Walnutport, Whitehall and Wind Gap. The stores themselves are open.
The cameras photograph passing cars and log their plates, and the same kind are in use by police in Allentown and Bethlehem. Penn State is dropping its cameras as state lawmakers weigh limits on them, and it said the decision came down to cost and value.
The sculpture, inspired by Philadelphia's LOVE sculpture, is meant to be a spot for photos, the agency said. It takes the "Made in Lehigh Valley" slogan, which LVEDC put on digital billboards along Route 22 and Interstate 78 last fall, to a place where people can stand next to it.
The 4 p.m. screening is the first of three Halloween events the theater, at 19 S. Fourth St., listed in an announcement Monday. A burlesque show follows on Oct. 23, and a "Rocky Horror Picture Show" screening on Oct. 31 honors Tim Curry, who died in August.
The Swiss company Bolliger & Mabillard built both coasters, and parks across the U.S. and Canada have closed similar rides since Monday's death. As of Wednesday, Hersheypark had not said whether Candymonium will run when the park reopens at 5 p.m. Friday, according to its calendar.
The gatherings come two days before Pennsylvania's deadline to register, and in a state that has no early voting, as Lehigh County's elections office puts it on its website. Voting ahead of Election Day here means a mail ballot, which a registered voter can request, fill out and hand in during one visit to a county elections office, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State.
The bill, sponsored by Councilwomen Ce-Ce Gerlach and Natalie Santos and filed Sept. 30, would add Chapter 130 to the city code. It is the third version of clearing rules council has taken up in a year, and it gives residents less time than the first version did.
The plan would hand hunters a fight that two Lehigh Valley lawmakers want settled by law, in favor of the Monday opening day that was tradition for generations until 2019. Nothing changes this fall: the bill has not been filed, and the season opens Nov. 28, the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
The closing ends the Colvers' four years carrying on a store that has sold lumber, hardware and kitchen and bath design in the Easton area for generations. The Colvers took over in 2022, according to the store's website, which said they knew the importance of keeping the store open; their Monday post gave no reason for the closure.
Cameron County Justice of the Peace Cyndi Hinojosa told The Associated Press she declared Mitte dead at about 1:30 p.m. at what she believed was his home in Brownsville. She said she could not provide a cause, and an autopsy will be performed.
Tickets to both concerts go on sale at 10 a.m. Oct. 16 at LiveNation.com. The arena's website listed no prices for either show as of Oct. 11.
Shalon Buskirk, the mother, directed "in love, in memory" with filmmaker Drew Swedberg. They say they worked on it in Allentown for seven years. In that time Buskirk lost a second son to gun violence, and the last of three men charged in that killing was sentenced Tuesday, one month before the film comes home.
The department gave the explanation Thursday, answering questions Lehigh Daily sent after reporting on the errors Oct. 5. Also Thursday, PennDOT reported another outage of its online services, the second it has confirmed in 10 days. Its answer does not say how many drivers were affected or what those whose registrations have expired should do.
At Jack's Vape & Tobacco on Linden Street in Bethlehem on Saturday, glass cases were stocked with Geek Bar, Oxbar and other disposable brands not on that list.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Friday denied three lawmakers' request to extend its skill games deadline. Machines can be seized starting Wednesday, and the Legislature does not meet again until Oct. 19.
