Weekly Blogosphere Round-Up

Missed last week as I was travelling, so it is good to be home and recapping what has been happening on the blogs about and by Nazareth area residents.

Andy’s Fan Page has the regular lineup of sports and local news from a variety of sources plus Andy’s regular emails are posted.  One item Andy has been writing about over the past several weeks is his desire to go to work.  VIA has been helping him set up ‘assessments’ which are mostly one-off trials of different jobs to see if he is able to do it.  Salisbury school district had him in as a ticket taker recently and a few others had similar jobs, but no offers from his favorite – Nazareth.  He writes, “I Wish the Nazareth School District would let me do something there, like run copies for the Main Office or something! It amazes me that I Got things from all schools except Nazareth and it does hurt me because I love Nazareth with a passion and I Really do feel hurt that they don't give me no credit or chances”.  If you or your company might have a position or interest in helping identify a job prospect for Andy, contact editor@newsovercoffee.com and I’ll connect you with his counselor at VIA.

Center for the Arts announced its show and gallery opening for Dick Boak’s artwork that took place on Friday night.  Having attended the show, Dick and Craig Thatcher performed for over 75 people and put on an amazing show.  Check the calendar or gallery on their web site for upcoming shows – www.nazaretharts.com

Clonehenge recognizes a bit of henge history, fish stick henge and a cake henge.

House to Home appears to have done a bit of a site redesign, very nice!  And she’s been blogging quite a bit, featuring wallpaper, the everything room, and an update on a few projects she began prior to the holidays.

Steaming Cup of Joe has another post on the death penalty based on the case of the triple murder in Easton in 2007.

Lehigh Valley Ramblings has its usual run of posts on local politics including a few on the Oronato vs. Morganelli spat, the recent Republican party endorsement of Marcia Hahn over David Green (Green was committee member choice, Hahn the executive committee), and he recently installed software to moderate/manage inappropriate comments.

Weird Nazareth took up Kate Micucci’s call for a return to the parade format of the annual Kazoo event in Nazareth and has created an online petition.
