Explosive Device Defused in Pen Argyl

Picture
   At approximately 11:40 am, SBRPD officers were called to a residence in the 900 block of George St., in Plainfield Township for a report of a possible explosive device found in the home.  Officers arrived on scene and located a suspicious device and contacted the Bethlehem City Bomb Squad to respond.  ATF was also notified to respond.  Plainfield Fire Department, Look Out Fire Department, Suburban EMS and Northampton County EMA  responded to assist officers on scene.   The 900 block of George St. was closed to traffic until approximately 4:00pm.
   Inside the residence, the bomb squad did not locate any other devices.  The original device appeared to be a home made explosive device which was later detonated by the bomb squad.  The resident of the home had previously passed away so no charges are filed.

Switching Your Smartphone Carrier

Picture
   Activating your smartphone with a different carrier can be as simple as swapping to the new provider’s SIM.
   Network: Some networks use CDMA and some use GSM. That means your smartphone will only work with a carrier that uses the same type of network it is designed for.
  Unlock: Your phone must be “unlocked” from your current carrier before it can be activated with a new provider. You can get it unlocked from your wireless carrier if you meet certain criteria, like paying the full price of your device or ending your contract and being in good standing.
 Switch: If your new provider’s network is compatible, you’ll get a SIM card, and insert it into your device. Consumer Cellular, for instance, provides the SIM card and activation on their networks for free when you sign up using a compatible GSM phone

Eagle Cam......

Picture
The Live-streamed Eagle cam from Hanover Pa. is back for its fifth year.  Sightings have already been recorded.

Stay in the loop of Medication Costs

Picture
   The state Department of Aging maintains a database to help consumers compare the cost of frequently used medications. 
   The cost of prescriptions for cash-paying customers can vary widely between pharmacies, as each pharmacy sets its own prices for cash payers. Patients with prescription insurance coverage will also find price shopping useful if their coinsurance is based on a percent of the total cash price. 
   The online tool updates prices weekly, lists prices by ZIP code or distance from location, includes pharmacy store details, and lists pharmacies with low-cost generics and those that match lower prices. 
   You can learn more about the tool by clicking here or calling 1-800-835-4080.

Child Safety on the Internet

Picture
   The internet comes with benefits, as well as risks, especially for children. Parents are encouraged to help kids follow safe and responsible computer practices. 
   The best way to keep kids safe online is to start conversations about being online early and continue to monitor their internet use and discuss how to use it responsibly. It is important children know that some people online have bad intentions, including bullies, predators, hackers, scammers and people sharing inappropriate content. 
    Ensuring children use cell phones responsibly and safely means establishing what responsible use looks like, including if calls or texting are allowed during dinner or while doing homework, ensuring they treat others the same way they want to be treated, and deciding on the privacy settings, web filters and child safety controls you want on your child’s phone. 
   Teens and tweens communicate online using social media, chat rooms, and virtual worlds, and it is important they know how to safely navigate these spaces. They should understand that after they post something, it cannot be taken back. Even if they delete it, they should limit what they share.

Bangor Library New Books
 Fine Policy For Kids
   The Bangor Public library is happy to announce a new policy for kids to take responsibility for their own fines. Starting now if a junior patron (ages 15 years old or under) owes fines on their card only they may read their fines away. The junior patron will be required to read at the library in front of one of the staff members. Junior patrons will fill out a reading log; every half hour that they read will equal $1.00 off their fines. Fines can only be read off junior patron cards. The library believes that with this new policy junior patrons will learn responsibility as well as filling in the reading gap that so many kids face today. For more information please contact the library at 610-588-4136
