National Motto Display Act, Forks Township Arsonist Charged, Adventure Aquarium Welcomes Crocodiles

Pennsylvania public school districts would be required to post "In God We Trust" in every school building under legislation that advanced out of a committee in the state House of Representatives this week. The National Motto Display Act, as it is titled, credits James Pollock, a 19th century Pennsylvania governor, for putting the term on coins while serving as director of the U.S. Mint. The measure would require schools to post it by using a mounted plaque, student artwork or some other form.

A woman has been charged with intentionally setting a fire in Forks Township that injured four people, left seven families homeless and destroyed a business. Fallonn Craig of Easton has confessed to setting the fire to the building in Forks Township as a result of a domestic incident. She is charged with arson and risking a catastrophe. The building houses the Mineral Springs Hotel and includes a bar and restaurant with upstairs apartments. Police say she lived with her boyfriend in an apartment above the Mineral Springs Bar and was hurt in the blaze.

The Adventure Aquarium in Camden welcomed a pair of six-foot female Orinoco Crocodiles last night.
Named after the Orinoco River in their native South America, Orinocos are a critically endangered species known for their long, sharp snouts and pale green eyes. The aquarium says the species is so close to extinction. Guests will be able to see the Orinoco Crocodiles starting today, on exhibit for the first time in the Northeast.
