📰 News we're reading
• Lehigh Valley food safety report: Turkey thawing in the sink, dusty kitchen area, 'black, mold-like substance' on ice machine (mcall.com) — A recent round of state food safety inspections includes Gigi & Alex Restaurant on Main Street in Hellertown, which passed a change-of-owner inspection with no violations. The broader Lehigh Valley report highlights both spotless kitchens and a few issues like improper thawing and mold-like buildup on an ice machine, all of which establishments are expected to correct promptly. 
• Fire Co. Wins Planning Commission's Blessing for New Station (sauconsource.com) — Lower Saucon's Planning Commission has endorsed a new Wassergass Road fire station plan, moving the project to township council and potentially improving emergency coverage for nearby Hellertown-area residents. Planners also recommended changes to impervious coverage rules and reviewed an updated official map that clarifies how Hellertown-owned parcels inside the township are shown, to avoid implying the borough is part of Lower Saucon.
