Merv Shiner remembers
Few places hold memories
so dear as the neighborhoods we grew up in. No matter how long we’ve been away,
or how much time has gone by, the sights and sounds of childhood always seem to
leave their indelible mark. At 98 years old, Mervin Shiner is a testament to
this fact. His recollection of adolescence is as clear and vivid as ever.
Several years ago, I had the privilege of interviewing Merv about his childhood
neighborhood in North Bethlehem, the same one I grew up in 70-some odd years
later.

‘Dance Quilt’ patched
together at Charter Arts
A
patchwork of ballet, modern dance, and tap styles came together May 3 and 4 at
the Lehigh Valley Charter HS for the Arts. According to concert director
Kimberly Maniscalco, “Our ‘Quilt’ was not only created to please the eye and
soul, but for its own practical purpose; to serve as a training ground for our
young dance students.” Assisting was guest choreographer Randall Anthony Smith,
an assistant professor of dance at Muhlenberg College. Above: Charter Arts
student dancers are getting “In the Swing of Things,” choreographed by Jennifer
Dite Weaver. Launching them airborne is “Booty Swing” by Parov Stelar and
“Little Swing” by Aron Chupa.

Wanderers leading the pack
The Wanderers may have gotten off to a slow
start to the season with the amount of games they were able to play early on,
but the club hasn’t let that slow them down as the month of June progresses.
Dwight Pulieri’s crew is in first place heading into this week with a 7-1
record, as they’ve mostly dominated the competition this summer so far.

‘Crystal Cave’ a cool place
for family to visit
Crystal Cave was discovered nearly 150 years ago. Recently,
it was discovered by Cirque du Soleil’s “Crystal.” Leon Fagbemi of London
lifted his Cirque du Soleil “Crystal” partner Amber Van Nijk of Belgium high
above his head as she balanced on his hands outside the entrance to Crystal
Cave. They performed acrobatic moves seen in Cirque du Soleil’s “Crystal,” June
26-30, PPL Center, Allentown. The “Crystal” duo visited Crysal Cave, Richmond
Township, Berks County, June 25.
