Philip Spaeth was the top vote-getter in Tuesday's Upper Saucon Supervisor primary, according to unofficial results.

Spaeth, 63, served as a township supervisor in the past and was also on the township planning commission.

Upper Saucon Township supervisor Jack DeMatos questions why the township's library board members' terms aren't staggered to help prevent a mass exodus all at once.
Upper Saucon Township is in the midst of filling four open seats on the Southern Lehigh Public Library Board of Directors, and one supervisor questioned why all of the seats are being vacated at once. At the supervisors' May 13 meeting, Jack DeMatos wondered aloud why the terms for the township's library board members aren't staggered to expire in different years.
