Flames shooting from the roof of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Levittown this morning. (Jose-Carlos Jones)
LEVITTOWN, NY A four-alarm blaze broke out Christmas morning one of the holiest days in the Christian calendar inside of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Levittown, leaving the structure badly damaged by both the fire itself and the water firefighters used to control it, though strengthening the resolve of the church s pastor. We will continue with services as we have been, Pastor Remo Madsen vowed, hours after the devastating fire, making reference to the COVID-19 restrictions that has had the church live-streaming services on Facebook to parishioners who cannot attend services in person. Where the in-person services will be held is another matter, but, for now, church officials plan to move forward with Sunday worship.

The study looked at 303 cities across the nation with populations of more than 100,000 and determined that the cost of crime in those cities in 2019 was $176 billion. This includes the costs of medical and mental health care for victims, damaged and stolen property, and police and corrections costs including courts and jails.
