After handling a landlord/tenant dispute,
K-9 Officer Allston and his partner, Cooper,
found a way to make the pre-teen boys who
had been indirectly involved in the dispute
feel better. Cooper, a six year-old Belgian
Malanois drug detection dog, interacted
with the kids who were enamored with the
friendly K-9. Any positive interaction with
the public, especially children and
teenagers, is a great way to show that police
officers do care about the community they
serve and want to make a positive
difference in someone’s life.
Meanwhile near the wharf late last month
Officer Paul Allston was on routine patrol
in the area of Battery Park around 1am
Cooper making more new friends when he discovered a homeless family, a
wheelchair bound woman in her 70’s, a 16
year-old girl and her parents had no money, food or a place to stay. They
had been dropped off at the park earlier in the evening by an unknown
non-profit organization who had been attempting to assist them.
Ultimately, Allston and S/Cpl. John Pullin re-located the entire family at a
motel for two nights. Allston gave the family money for food and paid for
the room for two nights out of his own pocket. Not stopping there, Allston
made further phone calls during that week in an attempt to get the family
resources and assistance.
They are now in a temporary shelter and have been referred to social
services and are in the process of being relocated.

Melt 3 tbsp butter in a saucepan or in the microwave.
In a blender, put the eggs, egg white, milk, 1 tbsp melted butter, sugar, flour, vanilla,
nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until the batter is smooth and creamy (about 30
seconds). Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Pour the remaining 2 tbsp

Gently pour the batter into the hot skillet. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20

Once the Dutch baby is done baking, remove the skillet from the oven and use a thin

If you are brave enough to explore
the darker side of New Castle's
history, then join the New Castle
Historical Society this October for
the only ghost tour that brings you
inside one of the most haunted
mansions of Old New Castle! You'll begin your journey into
New Castle's supernatural side
with a tour of the legendary
Amstel House - one of New
Castle's most haunted houses where you may meet the "Woman
in Blue." After exploring the
Amstel House, you will be guided
through New Castle's darkened
streets and alleyways where you
will hear macabre tales of
hauntings, Victorian death &
funeral customs, and crime &
punishment that span the 360-year
history of this
Delaware River town.
New Castle Historical Society
is seeking volunteers. Three
people interpreting at the Amstel
House (one each night),
and helpers to sign in.
