Miller Heights ES held its 17th annual Veterans Day Ceremony Nov. 10
and patriotism was on display with music, readings and special moments that
honored military veterans. The program contained musical numbers performed by
the Liberty HS Brass Ensemble, Freedom HS Fife and Drum Corps and Men’s Choir.
Also included was a rendition of “Taps” on trumpet by fourth grade teacher
Louis Poczak.Perhaps the highlight for many was a reunion for Miller Height’s
student Jaziah Morales whose father, Corporal Regolio Morales of the U.S. Army,
was called into the ceremony to surprise his son after being away for almost
eight months serving on active duty. Photo: Corporal Regolio Morales sees his son in person for the first time

Success stories from Restoration House
“It’s sad
to see that the program is shutting down. It’s sad to see that there will no
longer be help for people who are stuck in a situation like me,” said Zynnia,
one of New Bethany Ministries’ Restoration House Program participants forced to
vacate the apartments at the end of October. After being defunded by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development, all current occupants of the
Restoration House apartments on Third Street had to be moved out by the first
of November, regardless of whether or not they have stayed for the full 18- to
24-month duration of the program.

Becahi tops Saucon Valley for District 11 title
You could see it from the opening
whistle of the District 11 4A championship game Saturday night at Nazareth.
There was no way Bethlehem Catholic was going to lose to Saucon Valley.
The Hawks bullied their Colonial League
counterparts all over the field and throttled them en route to a 42-7
mercy-rule victory at Nazareth. Becahi (10-2) led 28-0 at halftime and never
looked back, as they knocked off the Panthers in back-to-back years for the
district crown.
