“It’s an
issue people feel very passionate about for and against,” Fetterman said as he

‘What everyone should know’
Educators,
students, and Lehigh Valley community members gathered in Packer Auditorium on
Lehigh University’s campus March 5 to talk about a horrific issue: school
shootings. The Crucial Conversations “A Focus on a School Shooting: What
Everyone Should Know” was composed of Dr. Joseph Roy, superintendent of Bethlehem
schools, and psychologist Dr. Peter Langman. Psychologist and Lehigh professor
Dr. Nicole Johnson moderated the panelists as they addressed major concerns
regarding school shootings and gave their expertise on how to avoid school
shootings, as well as protect students and the community in all shooting
related circumstances. Photo: Dr. Joseph Roy and Dr. Peter Langman discuss common
warning signs to look out for in order to prevent shootings. They spoke about
the need for early intervention. Roy said he understands the need to keep
schools safe from shooters and is hopeful new safety interventions will lead
toward fewer shootings. Langman is the author of “School Shooters:
Understanding High School, College, and Adult Perpetrators.”

LHS set for another test this week
You can say that Liberty is the best baseball team around, but
that won’t change the Hurricanes mindset moving forward. Liberty (8-1, 6-0)
stands at the top of the District 11 6A power rankings coming into the week and
are one of only two East Penn Conference schools that are undefeated. With a
nonleague win over Parkland last week, the ‘Canes get a chance to test their
mettle again this week when they host Emmaus (8-2, 7-1) on Wednesday afternoon.
