OVER STORY
Monster Mash
Northampton Community College’s Fowler Center Fab Lab was the scene of
some zombie mask creativity recently, just in time for Halloween. Resin casting
instructor Michael Bianco showed a small group of students how to mold, adhere,
feather and bloody a number of mask special effects, and how to make a
prosthetic hand casting. “It sounded like fun,” Moravian Academy student Liam
Brolly said. “I had done this kind of make-up for a movie my cousin made.”

Are you Southside proud?
Long in the
works behind the scenes, the Southside Proud marketing campaign officially
launched at a public gathering Sept. 30. Part of the Southside Vision 2020
neighborhood improvement project, the campaign is geared toward bettering the
Southside’s image in the city’s consciousness, turning from the impression of
rough and compact steelworkers’ districts to the modern iteration; schools,
restaurants, entertainment and the arts all within walking distance of
close-knit neighborhoods. Photo: Used at a number of recent events for photo
and video ops, the small blackboard lets locals literally stand by their words.

Getting an earful on communications’
Marcie
Lightwood, from the Institute for Jewish - Christian Understanding at
Muhlenberg College, led a workshop on developing good listening skills at the
South Side branch of the Bethlehem Public Library recently. Janine Santoro,
from branch adult services, said she felt there was a need in the community to
address the current polarized political climate. “No one is listening to
anybody,” she lamented. Lightwood spoke about the difference between debate,
discussion and dialogue. “Discussion is not wrong, debate is not wrong,
dialogue is what we want to get into.” she said of the evening’s program.
