Couple in hot water for candid camera work

Bethlehem police officer Scott Meixel, on the prowl for copper thieves Sunday afternoon near the Minsi Trail Bridge, did a double-take when he saw a flash of flesh along the banks of the Lehigh River.

He wound his way down an access road and there, with the world-famous Bethlehem Steel blast furnaces as a backdrop, were a nude woman and a man, fully clothed, with a camera.

''Yeah, you're not expecting to see a nude lady in the middle of the afternoon by the river,'' a somewhat sheepish Meixel explained Monday. ''I was kind of surprised.''

Vets cemetery to take decades to finish

Those wishing to see the future Washington Crossing VA National Cemetery in all its glory had better hope for a long life.

''Temporary'' is a key word for the initial efforts for the long-awaited veterans cemetery for southeast Pennsylvania, as the federal government pushes to beginning burials for the increasing number of World War II veterans who are dying.

The 205-acre cemetery in Upper Makefield in lower Bucks County will start with temporary roads, administrative facilities and committal shelters, in order to speed along burials, said William Teurk, the federal undersecretary for memorial affairs, to township residents and officials on Wednesday.
