‘Hard to put into words’
The Bethlehem Garden Club, in partnership with the City of Bethlehem, recently held a Blue Star Memorial highway marker dedication, unveiling a marker installed in the city’s Rose Garden. The initiative began with a bequest to the Garden Club from the estate of Marion Clewell nearly six years before, according to project chair Liz Lorenz. Placing Blue Star Memorial highway markers across the nation is an initiative of the National Garden Club. Begun originally to honor World War II veterans, the mission has been expanded to include all who have served, are serving or would serve in the United States military. Photo:

John McGeehan (Ret.) of the U.S. Army Special Forces, who accepted the Blue Star Marker as an armed forces veteran.

Celebrating reading in the sun
Sunny
weather and blue skies greeted the 12th annual Cops ‘n’ Kids Celebration of
Reading…and the Arts and Sciences, held in the parking lot of Northampton
Community College’s Southside campus April 28. The lot was filled with tents
and tables staffed with volunteers from 95 community groups, showcasing
activities from various disciplines for kids to explore. Indoor venues hosted
performances by a total of 639 students, storytelling and cooking demonstrations.
“[This event is] so important because the kids get exposed to literature, the
sciences, drama and the theater and all of the arts, so with the performances
and the big bands coming in, they see what their future has in store for them,”
said Susan Stachowski, a Cops ‘n’ Kids volunteer of five years and an employee
of Sands Bethlehem. Photo: Volunteers

Hawks set to play for District 11 title
Bethlehem Catholic won its berth
in the District XI Class 4A softball final by defeating Blue Mountain, 11-1,
last Thursday at Pates Park in Allentown. “We just had to make sure that we did
all the fundamentals to get the job done, and that’s pretty much it,” said
Becahi outfielder Alexa Panuccio. “We just kept the same mindset during the
game, never let up, always pushed our hardest, and that’s why the score was how
it was.” The Hawks got through their entire line up in the first inning,
started off by Jess Indelicato who reached first base on an error and then
stole second. Alyssa Jiminez also reached first on an error, which gave
Indelicato the opportunity to score Becahi’s first run.
