Spring Edition 2018 PRIDE PRESS Spring Pep Rally By Ryan Williams & Alyssa Hurdich (Photos by Ryan Williams) Do you recall the pep rally we had on April 6th? How about the games that were played? The scores and teachers who won? How about a recap? The first activity was a game of Hungry, Hungry Hippos with the teachers. On a two-person team, one teacher had to lay flat on a scooter and try to capture balls in a basket while the other teacher had to ma- neuver their partner around. The winners of round one were Ms. Witzke and Mrs. Hoffman while Mr. Haloskie and Mr. Hassenbein won round two. Next, there was the four legged race where two teams raced to the half court and back. The winner of round one was the girls’ team since the boys, to quote an anonymous source, “cheated.” The winning team of round two was Mrs. Hoffman’s team. Then there was a game of Basketball Free Throws. Mr. Hassenbein won round one, Ms. Aragona round two, and Mr. Parker round three. Mrs. Montrose won round four. The jazz band played several songs including “Seven Nation Army,” “Beat It,” “Happy Song,” and more. At the end of the pep rally, our very own WHS boys’ basketball team had a game of basketball. The cheerleaders also did an awe- some job with their routines! Swish! “Jazzin’” it up Ms. Davis, Ms. Benson, Ms. Rinker, and Ms. Bauhmer compete in the 1 What an amazing lift! four-legged race. After-School Activities By Ryan Williams There are many after-school activities available to students. Do you take part in any of them? Are you part of our school community? I sent out a survey to find out. According to the 57 responses, 6 students participated in tutoring, 21 students participated in non-athletic activities, and 30 students participated in sports. Here is a pie graph showing the results of the survey: I learned that the most popular sport in this school is basketball! Coming in a close second is football. Here is a bar graph showing the sports results. 2 Arts and Entertainment Gamers Unite! By Alyssa Hurdich At some point or another you’ve come across a person who LOVES video games.

Style: Open-World (player has infinite choices) Description: Minecraft is an almost endless world full of blocks where you can survive, build, and pretty much do anything you can imagine. There are many different game modes and MANY ways to play. You can do surviv- al mode where you have to hunt for materials and fight the monsters through the night. You can also do safe cre- ative mode where the player can fly around and have all the materials right at their fingertips. You can play alone or with friends, be a PVP Master (player vs player), or a Master Builder. If you can imagine it, you can do it.

    UPLIFT Newsletter M Ay 2 0 19

    The United Presbyterian Church of Blairsville, PA UPLIFT Newsletter M ay 2 0 19 It was the day after Easter. Bobbi and I ran into a friend at Rite Aid. “So, you’re out getting your medicine?” he asked. “No” I replied, “I’m out getting my discounted chocolate candy.” To some, Easter is about receiving the power of God that renews us and makes us whole. To others, its about getting a cheap sugar high. To some its about resounding the Alleluias. To others its about an eyeful of pastel col- ors and a nose-full of fragrant blooms. But whatever it is, it sadly seems to eventually fade. There were those four glorious years of my childhood (before my sister was born) that I had the delight of being the only grandchild. Grandma doted on her “honey boy” and Pappy Moe spoiled me rotten. Each Easter, he would buy a dozen or so little chicks that had been dyed pink and yellow and blue and green. I would giggle and bounce as they ran around me. But within a couple days all the chicks would die (probably from the coloring that had been put on their feathers) and all I was left with was a memory. One place we get it wrong is when we think of Easter as a one day celebration—God’s victory neatly packed into a twenty-four hour box. According to our liturgical calendar, Easter is a season fifty days long in which we celebrate the forty days Jesus spent time with the disciples, then ascended into heaven and the faithful waited patiently for the coming of the Spirit.

    Action Alert: Come Testify Before the Delaware River Basin Commission

    Action Alert: Come Testify Before the Delaware River Basin Commission Regarding the PennEast Pipeline Project DRBC is empowered with the responsibility to protect our water resources. Let’s Make Sure They Fully Consider All the Impacts The PennEast Pipeline Project right-of-way will permanently scar our environment and communities for over 108 miles in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Approximately 87% of the right of way will cut within the boundaries of the Delaware River watershed. The pipeline will cross approximately 33 wetland areas and 60 waterways, including the Delaware River and the Lehigh River. Also targeted are forests as well as public and private lands. The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) has the legal authority, and we believe the legal obligation, to look at the cumulative impacts of the entire project as it cuts through the watershed, including how the harms of this project will be magnified by the impacts of other recent and proposed pipeline projects. It is important that the DRBC exercise the full-extent of their legal authority and consider the full array of environmental and water resource impacts. Please come testify if you can. Date: December 9, 2014 Time: Meeting begins at 1:30 pm, public comment comes later in the agenda. Place: Washington Crossing Historic Park Visitor Center, 1112 River Road, Washington Crossing, PA What you need to do: < The DRBC asks that if you know you intend to speak to please sign up in advance by either sending an email to Paula Schmitt [email protected] or phoning her at 609 883 9500 ext 225.

We show you around your new hometown, from its greasy spoons to its drive-in theatres. The book was born out of frustration. Most Muhlenberg students confine themselves to campus. The brave make it as far as the strip malls off Cedar Crest Boulevard, but few of us ever leave the West End. Downtown Allentown, in particular, hardly regis- ters in the Muhlenberg mind. The guide is meant to change all this—to burst the infamous “Muhlenberg Bubble.” The book took shape in a fall 2004 Muhlenberg College course, “Print Production.” You could say that this guide—Living Here in Allentown—is the 21 students’ final project. Editors, researchers, graphic designers, food critics, publicists, ad salespeople—we were all of these over the course of a semester. We liked it enough that we’ve formed a group, Red Door Publications, to update the book and to work on new projects. We wandered the city—tasted the soup at the Shanty, rode the Dorney Park roller-coasters—so that you, too, would venture be- yond the Red Doors.
