Man in fatal Palmerton beating jailed

A Wilson man awaiting sentencing for his role in the beating death of a man in downtown Palmerton has been jailed for violating conditions of his bail, including an allegation that he smoked marijuana.

Michael Harrison, 18, of 1540 Liberty St. was picked up Tuesday by the Northampton County sheriff's office and transferred Wednesday to Carbon County Prison. A hearing on the allegations is scheduled for Monday, officials said.

His probation officer, Jillian Fittos, filed court papers alleging Harrison tested positive for marijuana in late May, moved without notifying her and failed to report to her office as directed on July 2.

Two area hospitals chosen as area's best values

Another new hospital rating system -- this one pooling existing data on quality, cost and reputation shows St. Luke's Hospital and Gnaden Huetten Memorial as the area's ''best values.''

The Fountain Hill and Lehighton hospitals were the only local hospitals among seven that scored high enough to make the list, according to a spokeswoman for Data Advantage, a health information company based in Kentucky that released its first ''Hospital Value Index'' Tuesday.

Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest in Salisbury Township, LVH-Muhlenberg in Bethlehem, Easton Hospital in Wilson, Palmerton Hospital and Sacred Heart Hospital in Allentown did not score in the top 25 percentile to rate as a best value, said Carlie Crenshaw, who works for a Nashville public relations company. And no local hospital made the top 100 best value in the country list, she said.
