FOUR FRIENDS HELP JAZZ UP THE BERKS JAZZ FESTIVAL in the TODAY section: One of the most attended performances at previous Berks Jazz Fests has been the Berks Jazz Fest Horns.

Joining them Sunday will be WJJZ-FM all-star saxophonists Kim Waters, Steve Cole, Jeff Kashiwa, Gerald Veasley, among others.

INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO DEALING WITH CANCER DISCUSSED on the MONEY page: More than 75 medical, technological and business leaders met today in Bethlehem to discuss their efforts to develop products to improve cancer treatment at a forum called "Fighting Cancer: Lehigh Valley Technology at the Forefront."

MAYORAL CANDIDATE'S NOMINATING PETITIONS GET A CLOSER LOOK in the LEHIGH VALLEY section: Even Pat "Jud" Colicchio considered some of the signatures on his nominating petitions "shaky." And he acknowledges that multiple signatures appear to have been signed by the same person. But he remains convinced he gathered the 100 necessary signatures to earn a spot on the May primary ballot. Colicchio appeared in Northampton County Court this morning to defend his nominating petitions for mayor of Easton. Evelyn Gulick, a member of Democratic candidate Michael Fleck's campaign, challenged the petitions. Read the complete story in Saturday's Express-Times.

A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST TIED TO STEALING DONATIONS FROM HIS CHURCH ENTERS INTO A PRETRIAL PROGRAM in the NEW JERSEY section: A priest accused of stealing more than $10,000 from his Lambertsville parish mush pay $4,000 in restitution and complete 50 hours of community service under the terms of a pretrial program he entered into this week. If the Rev. Marian Drozd successfully completes the year-long program, the third-degree theft charge he faces will be dropped. Drozd was the parochial vicar of St. John the Evangelist Parish when he allegedly took cash from Masses between August and January.
