COVER STORY


‘For better or worse’


Newlyweds Devin Hallquist and Michael Steele take a stroll outside by the Bethlehem Steel blast furnaces July 13 after their wedding at ArtsQuest Center at the SteelStacks in Bethlehem. The ceremony was permitted to be held despite an emergency situation involving a man who climbed the blast furnaces and remained there for 21 hours. The crisis was peacefully resolved.

SPORTS


‘Season for the ages’


The Wanderers’ season came to a close in the Region 2 tournament, but it didn’t take away from the type of campaign the team experienced over the summer. The NORCO champs fell to Berks champ Norchester 7-1 to end their run in the tournament, going 2-2 in the double elimination format. Norchester scored six runs in the top of the eighth inning to pull away for the win. For Wanderers head coach Dwight Pulieri, the season was a success after a 22-5 finish that saw his team win the league title.
