A very classic Easter
Decked out
in Easter finery, long- time friends Nancy Sharp and Deborah Courville wore
Edwardian style vintage dresses, hats and accessories to the Historic Hotel
Bethlehem’s Easter brunch on Sunday. Sharp lives in Port Elizabeth, N.J. and
Courville in Laceyville, Pa. They were in Bethlehem visiting over the Easter
holiday.

Chasing eggs at Memorial Park
If the sky was gloomy early in the morning of the annual Easter egg
hunt at Memorial Pool on Illicks Mill Road, by the time the children had
assembled with baskets in hand, the sun had come out. As they waited for the
hunt to start, one young attendee murmured “three minutes to go.” At the sound
of the police siren, children rushed onto the field to gather up the candy, all
of which was donated by Just Born. In no time at all baskets were full. For
some of the youngsters, there was a bonus in store. If a candy wrapper in their
basket had a sticker on it they could claim a large chocolate Easter Bunny.

Race strategies varied, with some kids sprinting far ahead of the pack, where
they had unimpeded access to maximum candy. Others grabbed every prize they
came to.

Developing leaders at Fountain Hill ES
Who knew a bunch of elementary school students could possibly plan over
an hour’s worth of material to showcase, all on their own? Fountain Hill ES

Day Feb. 22 and it was spectacular. This year’s event was planned by students
under the supervision of kindergarten and first grade teacher Victoria Knepp
and themed around Dr. Seuss and his children’s books. Photo: Student from the Student

LHS stifling opponents
They say pitching is the key to
baseball and Liberty’s staff has certainly devoured teams through the team’s
11-1 start to the season. The Hurricanes completed another unblemished week,
after handling Whitehall, Freedom and Emmaus last week. It pushed them to
five-straight wins coming into this week, as the pitching staff has allowed
only 2.5 runs per game this season.
