Vietnam Veterans Memorial Day was Sunday and it was observed at Easton Area High School. High school junior Anthony Ventura explains why he was there and why the ceremony was important. "50 years after Vietnam, we still have not learned how to give our troops and our men and women who offer all that they have and all that they may be simply because their country asks them to, the respect and the celebration that they deserve," Ventura says. Ventura helped organize the school's Red Poppies for Veterans club three years ago. At that time, there were five members. Now that number is up to 25.
Accu-Weather's Joe Lundberg says the week leading up to Easter will feature above average warmth and a decent amount of rain. "I think Wednesday there's probably be a couple of showers most likely in the afternoon, maybe a rumble of thunder. I think Thursday there could be a bit of rain. Friday there's a risk of a shower. I don't think it's more than that. There could be a shower Saturday. Easter Sunday a front is probably going to try to come through, so there's going to be a chance of showers with that," Lundberg says.
State Police will be out in full force on the Pennsylvania Turnpike next month. The Turnpike's Marissa Orbanek explains what they'll be looking for.

We're also targeted those who are driving a vehicle with a suspended registration due to unpaid tolls," Orbanek says. Vehicles are referred for registration suspension if they have at least $250 in unpaid tolls and fees or four unpaid Toll By Plate invoices.
