ArtsQuest reduces scope of SteelStax plan

In order to pare down the price of the $53 million SteelStax project, ArtsQuest is cutting out some education classes from the cultural facility planned at the old Bethlehem Steel plant and putting those programs into an expanded Banana Factory.

Regarded as a hub of artists on the South Side for a decade, the Banana Factory will undergo a 3,200-square-foot addition and 20,000-square-foot renovation so that more children can learn ballet, dance, theater and music there.

The groups that will benefit include Pennsylvania Youth Theatre, Hispanic American League of Artists and Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. Read more

Carbon County ready for primary

The electronic voting machines have been tested, sealed and put away, ready for next Tuesday.

Absentee ballots continue to come into the Carbon County Election Bureau, but that will end Friday, when the deadline arrives for those ballots, used by people away for work or too sick to go to polling places.

And now the scanners used to count those absentee ballots are tested and ready to go.

Everything is falling in place for the election -- at least in Carbon County.

County Election Director Kenneth Leffler took one of the final steps to prepare for the primary election Monday when he ran a mandated test of the scanning machine that tallies the absentee ballots. Read more

To market, to market: Chelsea Clinton shops for voters

With two large boxes of sweets in her hand -- a gift from an excited doughnut shop vendor -- Chelsea Clinton made her way through the congested aisles at the Allentown Fairgrounds Farmers Market. The visit Friday by the former first daughter tickled Tom Thompson, who owns Mary Ann Donuts.

''She is just a delightful young lady. Pretty as a picture and a wonderful representative for her mother,'' Thompson said.

The meeting, however exciting, won't influence Thompson's vote. On April 22, the day of Pennsylvania 's primary election, Thompson will choose Illinois Sen. Barack Obama . Read more

Mount Airy Casino Resort folds expansion plans

Mount Airy Casino Resort has put the brakes on its plans for a $60.1 million expansion and is trying to restructure its $380 million in debt, its state-appointed trustee Anthony F. Ceddia told the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board on Thursday.

The move halts the planned addition of 500 slot machines and 212 hotel rooms that was supposed to begin this year. It also has Ceddia looking to renegotiate the Monroe County resort's debt as its owner, Louis DeNaples, faces perjury charges.

Even as Ceddia gave his update, the board proposed new regulations that would allow it to more easily acquire the kind of FBI investigative files it never got before DeNaples was issued a gaming license. Read more

Survey gives the 411 on Valley's Jewish population of about 8,000

The Lehigh Valley's Jewish population has deep roots, is roughly the size everyone suspected -- 8,000, third-largest in Pennsylvania -- and probably won't grow or shrink much in the near future, according to what is probably the most comprehensive study of Jewish life ever carried out here.

The Jewish Community Study of the Lehigh Valley, based on more than 530 phone interviews with residents of Lehigh and Northampton counties, will probably serve as the statistical foundation for decisions on education, senior care, charitable giving and other matters for years to come. The results were unveiled Tuesday night during a town hall meeting at the Jewish Community Center in Allentown . Read more
