8 'Stars' in the constellation

American Idols don't have to put up with these kinds of interruptions. Dropped plates of french fries, a waitress crossing in front of you with a cheesesteak while you sing, no background music.

But it's surprising how a mimosa, followed by a martini, can help you block all that and focus on what you came to do: sing well.

That's the formula Alfin Nabjib used to conquer the semifinals of Musikfest's ''Stars of Bethlehem'' Sunday at Starters Riverport in Bethlehem.

Nabjid of Northampton will square off against seven other vocalists in the finals, which will be held Aug. 6 at Americaplatz during Musikfest.

Report: Airport plan may not fly

A proposed $1.6 billion cargo airport proposed near Hazleton would not be used by major carriers FedEx, UPS or DHL and would require the state to spend $25 million to $35 million on improvements to Interstate 81, a state legislative panel was told Wednesday.

That information emerged at a meeting of the joint Legislative and Budget Finance Committee, where the project, whose leaders are seeking $250 million in tax money, was met with skepticism from some lawmakers after findings of a 123-page report on the massive project's feasibility were revealed.
