Terror in Vegas: Bethlehem woman at nearby casino
Jennifer Miller was just looking to have a good time at a Las Vegas show
with her sister-in-law Charlene Gibson. Unfortunately,
that show was near the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, where on Sunday night,
Stephen Paddock shot and killed dozens of concertgoers at a country music
festival across from the hotel. “Me and my sister-in-law went out, just us two.
It was our first time,” the Bethlehem resident said. “We were in the Cirque de
Soleil Michael Jackson ONE show. The show started at 9:30, and at about 20 to
11 they stopped everything. At first they said they were having difficulties
and to bear with them. We thought they were just technical difficulties.”

OPINION
‘Domestic terrorism, plain and simple’
Platinum recording artist Jason Aldean’s set was tragically
interrupted at the Route 91 Harvest Country Music Festival in Las Vegas Oct. 1
when a gunman opened fire on the crowd, killing 59 people and injuring roughly
600 more. It is a sad reality we live in as Americans when we are not safe at
the movies, schools, churches, and now music concerts. Just five months after
the Manchester, England attack during an Ariana Grande concert, we now have an
even deadlier attack happening here in the United State. It is extremely
terrifying and disheartening to know that this is something that is beginning
to happen so often, especially at a place that is meant to be about fun and the
enjoyment of music.

Hotel may be new CRIZ site
The City of Bethlehem’s CRIZ may get a new
property in its jurisdiction. The Hotel
Bethlehem on Main Street in Bethlehem is a candidate to be among the projects
under the taxes for development program known as the City Revitalization and
Improvement Zone or CRIZ. Last week, Bethlehem Mayor Bob Donchez announced that
he recommends that the hotel and other properties be included in the CRIZ. If approved, the iconic Hotel Bethlehem,
according to Managing Director Bruce Haines, will allow previously developed
expansion plans to proceed. Expansion plans
had been “put in a drawer” by the Hotel Bethlehem ownership, but when Donchez
succeeded in getting the CRIZ language re-written to include additional
properties, Haines and his partners realized that their shelved expansion plans
would be much less risky under the provisions of the CRIZ. Photo: View of
proposed Hotel Bethlehem expansion from the historic district looking east.

Becahi falls to Parkland, 38-24
The Bethlehem Catholic football team fell into an early hole, and
could not dig themselves out last Friday night at Parkland School District
Stadium. The Golden Hawks found themselves down 17-3 heading into halftime
against Parkland, and then trailed 24-3, their biggest deficit of the game,
early in the third quarter. They were able to battle back and make things
interesting, but the Trojans answered any Becahi score and held on for a 38-24
victory in a battle of unbeaten teams at the top of the Eastern Pennsylvania
Conference.

Getting into the act
For director Ara Barlieb and the Crowded Kitchen Players (CK
Players) theater company, “Act One” is a production that everyone wanted to be
a part of. “Like a lot of theater companies, we are drawn to plays about
theater,” Barlieb says. “It’s really compelling to do a play about a play.”
Barlieb says that, to the best of his knowledge, “Act One” has never been
performed outside of New York City.The Lehigh Valley premiere of “Act One” will
be presented by the CK Players at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m.
Sundays, Oct. 13 - 22, Charles A. Brown IceHouse, Sand Island, 56 River St.,
