COVER STORY

Birds and bees come to town

Christmas City Veterinary Hospital has joined the ranks of city buildings that sport a mural to beautify city streetscapes. “It was such a big plain white wall,” says veterinary nurse Bobbie Dumoff, who has worked with veterinarian Dr. Lisa Cawley since the former bank building at 1003 W. Broad St. was opened as a veterinary hospital eight years ago.

CITY HISTORY

Old Main Street fountain’s history explained

The Eliza Richardson Fountain on Main Street has long been a mystery. Who was she and why does the fountain bear her name? Answers were hard to come by, but as various records were unearthed, they began to piece together a picture of a fascinating woman deserving to be remembered.

CLASSROOM

Southside school welcome incoming students

 


Fountain Hill teachers gather at Stanley Avenue Playground before the South Side Stride. Teachers from all elementary grades joined principal Courtney Wertman-Stambaugh, assistant principal Jose Sanchez, and community school director Paige Hoffman for the inaugural event to welcome incoming kindergarteners.

SPORTS

Hurricanes anxious for first real test

Liberty has posted shutouts in its first two games of the season, but head coach John Truby still isn’t sure what type of team he has after a 2-0 start.

The Hurricanes knocked off Pocono Mountain East 20-0 last week, but it wasn’t the prettiest or easiest affair following a two-hour bus trip to Swiftwater.

Things won’t get any easier this week when Liberty and Bethlehem Catholic are set to square off Friday night at 7 p.m. at BASD Stadium.

It’ll be the first real test of the season for the ‘Canes, who have outscored their opponents 90-0 so far, but it comes with a grain of salt.

Pates steal a victory

As with any encounter on the gridiron between Freedom and Bethlehem Catholic, fireworks are always on the agenda and last week’s city rivalry contest between both schools showcased that maybe the two best teams in the area reside in Bethlehem. Jalen Stewart’s one-yard touchdown with seven seconds left in the fourth quarter gave Freedom a 24-21 lead for the comeback victory.

FOCUS

Have baton, will travel

I remember when I was a student in school and when we would return in the fall, everyone would always ask, “What did you do this summer?” Summer is always a time for growth, learning, exploring new things and having fun. This summer, I did all of those things. What some people might not know about me is that in addition to being a symphony music director and conductor, I am the author of two conducting books that have become standards in the industry, “Beyond the Baton - What Every Conductor Needs to Know” and “Baton Basics - Communicating Music Through Gestures,” both published by Oxford University Press. Because of this, I am often asked to teach conducting workshops, nationally and internationally.
