TECHNOLOGY: Is it really progress?
While
self-driving vehicles, cashier-less grocery stores and unmanned delivery
systems were once a concept deeply rooted in the future, today these
technologies along with many others are not far off. The question now becomes
not whether or not they are possible, but what impact they will have on society
once broadly accepted and widely instituted. Photo: “We’re paving over the best
farmland in America, putting up these massive warehousing distribution centers
and they’re heavily automated with only a handful of workers,” according to
CACLV’s Alan Jennings.

Good food, wine for a good cause
The Greco-Roman wine god Bacchus had his very own Bacchanalia festival
in his honor, where sumptuous food and tantalizing wines were the order of the
day. Fast forward more than 2,200
years, and some of the finest aspects of the festival have been preserved at
Fountain Hills’ annual wine and food tasting fundraiser that brings together
the local community to benefit the borough’s Playground and Recreation
Improvement Fund. Photo: These workers from The Other Fish
restaurant got some food tasting in themselves. Did we see some chili in there?
They are Yuri Laubach, John Gerhard, Vinny Reichard and Matt Reichard. They are
all from Bethlehem.

LVA’s first mini-THON a success
After months of planning, the big day finally arrived for Lehigh Valley
Academy’s Mini-THON committee. On March 24 LVA held their very first Mini-THON
to raise money for pediatric cancer research. From the beginning, LVA had set a
goal to raise $10,000. However, with dedication and hard work LVA had aimed to
surpass this goal. LVA was one of many schools that took part in this rewarding
event. Four Diamonds Mini-THON is an organization that allows all students to
plan their interactive events throughout their school and community to help
raise money towards pediatric cancer patients at Pennsylvania State Children’s
Hospital. Photo: Teacher
adviser Ariella Mease (center) is holding the Mini-THON flyer and is standing
along with student leaders from left to right Xavier Lopez, Amber Hernandez,

Gruber, Lynn win doubles title
Liberty’s Louis Gruber and David
Lynn were crowned District XI Class 3A Doubles Tennis Champions after winning
their match against Nazareth’s Gabe Knowles and Nate Tauber, 6-2, 6-0, last Thursday
at Lehigh University. “It feels good knowing that, coming into this, we weren’t
necessarily the favorites, but we knew as long as we were playing well and
working well together, we knew we had a really good opportunity and we did
that,” said Gruber.
