Bike Path Reopening, Big Burglary Spree Top Local News
These are the top stories in Palmer and Forks Townships this past week.

Hello, I'm a Forks Township resident who has lived here for two years. My parents and sister live around the corner from me and have lived in Forks for over a decade.
I'm 46 years old, married for 19 years to my college sweetheart. We both attended The University of Delaware. We also have a son, Joshua, who is 9.
I'm a long-suffering all Philadelphia sports fan. I consider myself a music historian, probably from the thousands of CDs I own, especially Classic Rock music. And, since I have an English major, I'm a book lover.
I've also worked in the newspaper business for 28 years, the past decade as editor of three newspapers. I've logged lots of time in Pennsylvania (Honesdale, Pottsville), Massachusetts and northern New Jersey.
I believe very strongly in community journalism and letting people know about the important issues and concerns about what's going on in their communities.
You need to be armed with the right information to make the best decisions for you and your family.
