Tuesday, April 23
By Eric Boehm | PA Independent HARRISBURG—After a four-year court battle, wide swaths of state regulations for funeral homes were swept aside last year by a federal judge who ruled them anti-competitive and protectionist. In a May 2012 ruling, Judge John E. Jones struck down 11 provisions of Pennsylvania’s Funeral Director Law as unconstitutional, including a requirement that funeral homes build expensive and often unnecessary preparation rooms, a prohibition serving food inside a funeral home and several regulations concerning the ownership, operation and names of funeral homes. The ruling strikes a serious blow against the regulatory authority of the State Board of Funeral Directors, which some of the plaintiffs in the case likened to a …

'Memory Lane' program helps Easton Home residents recall pleasant memories, engage with their families.
Inside the Easton Home, there's a kitchen unlike anywhere in Easton, filled with a monitor top refrigerator, Ovaltine cans, and tins of spices you won't find at Giant. In fact, you probably wouldn't find a kitchen like this anywhere, at least not without a time machine. But that's exactly what the staff at the Easton Home want it to be: a window into the past for residents suffering from Alzheimer's or dementia. Of the home's 53 residents, 20 live in its memory support unit for residents with Alzheimers' and other forms of dementia, said Paul Cercone, the home's administrator. Another third of The Easton Home's population have been diagnosed with some type of dementia. With that in mind, the Easton Home has established its Memory Lane …

Gas prices in every state—except Idaho—have seen another decrease since last week, according to AAA’s fuel report. In Pennsylvania, the average for a gallon of self-serve regular is $3.552 per gallon down 5.4 cents from a week ago. U.S. gasoline prices in April have continued to fall, the reports states, not just because of weak demand, but oil prices have also moved sharply lower. In the Lehigh Valley, the average price for a gallon is $3.52 per gallon, which is down five cents from a week ago, and 45 cents lower than a year ago. Locally, the cheapest prices are at the Wawa, Giant and Rudy and Sons along 25th Street, all selling regular Thursday morning for $3.40 a gallon. If you know of a better price, leave a comment.
