OVER STORY
Have a heart; buy a heart
As part of
National Human Trafficking Prevention Month in January, Truth for Women (TFW)
and a Penn State Lehigh Valley arts class have joined forces on an awareness
and fundraising project involving the sale of
silver heart charms meant to symbolize healing for sex trafficking
victims. The hand-crafted charm was designed by PSU-LV’s Gallery Director and
Art Coordinator Ann Lalik, whose arts project class in jewelry making and metal
work volunteered to do the sanding, polishing and other finishing work on the
charm. The Arts Project at Penn State Lehigh Valley allows community members to
take non-credit arts classes in various areas of interest and at levels from
beginner to advanced. Photo: Two hundred charms are being completed for the
first grouping that will go on sale Jan. 30, although the plan is to have the
charms available for purchase “forever.”

A party fit for 3 kings
It’s a tradition that includes singing, dancing, feasting and receiving
a visit and present from three men who have traveled a very long way for a very
important reason. Three Kings Day is especially popular in Latino culture, and
was celebrated Jan. 6 at ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks. Photo: Presenting many upbeat songs, the
group Herencia Jibara performs in the Musikfest Café during the Three Kings Day
celebration.

Liberty gets another shot a Nazareth
The last time Liberty and Nazareth met at the Virginia Duals, both
teams took away seven wins apiece until the Blue Eagles managed to sneak out a
27-26 criteria victory. This weekend the Hurricanes will have a chance at
redemption with the EPC title on the line when they get a rematch with Nazareth
Saturday night at Easton Area Middle School in the EPC Championship Day.

American-made music
George Gershwin and Aaron Copland are two of the most recognized
and respected American composers of the last century. They were born in
Brooklyn, N.Y., just two years apart: George Gershwin, in 1898, and Aaron
Copland, in 1900. Both composers were known for exemplifying and developing the
“American sound” in music: Copland, for
capturing the folk and pioneering spirit, and George Gershwin for incorporating
jazz and saxophones into his orchestral pieces. Each traveled extensively, and
for a time each lived in Paris. Copland studied with the famous composition
teacher Nadia Boulanger.
