From The Editor’s Desk.

Hunger is a serious problem in the United States, and not one that is an abstraction.

Many of your friends and neighbors are in food insecure households, defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as homes where there are repeated instances of disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake. Many of those afflicted are the most vulnerable people in our society – children and seniors. According to the USDA, as of 2011, 14.9 percent of households in the United States were food insecure. This is an appalling figure and shows the true scope of the problem.

This year The Town & Country Gazette has organized our 2nd Annual “Blue Mountain Blowout” to benefit the Northern Lehigh Food Bank. Last year, through the incredible generosity of our readers, we were able to donate a few hundred pounds of food. We hope to top that amount this year. On Sunday, Sept. 8th, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. we’ll be holding our rummage sale and food drive in the Town & Country Gazette office parking lot at 4685 Lehigh Drive in

Blue Mtn. Blowout Sunday, Sept. 8th, 9 am-2 pm Walnutport. We hope to see you all at the event checking out our great vendors and supporting your neighbors and local food bank. We will be accepting nonperishable food donations.

Krysta Hankee Fundraiser, Successful Night in the Country

Perfect weather prevailed on August 17 for the “Night in the Country” event in New Tripoli. The Krysta Hankee Memorial Fund was on hand, staffed by Bill, Chris and Kyle Hankee and a group of volunteers eager to promote the large array of raffle items. Ken and Jean Zellner, Ryan Cerrone, Molly Maher, Emma Kemmerer participated in setup, tear-down, ticket sales and helping to select the prize winners and distribute the prizes.

The money raised from the event will be used to purchase Giant gas cards to be given to families needing help with the ever-increasing costs related to medical transportation for family members. The fund has provided over 200,000 miles to families in need.

The Hankees are very thankful to the many volunteers, donors and participants in this worthy cause. Gas cards are most often distributed by caregivers and social workers at Good Shepherd Rehab, Children’s Hospital of Lehigh Valley, Lehigh Valley Pediatric Cancer Foundation, Angel 34 and Gift of Life Family House.

The Hankees receive many heartfelt letters of gratitude and hope from families who are supported by the “Krysta Cares, Miles That Matter” initiative.

Touch of Dutch Continued from Page 15 special, but join us in eating what we have.” This is something that has been lost among us the last years, but not so among the PA Dutch in Canada.

We received two noon invitations like that with people that we became acquainted with on our trip last summer, when we again went to visit them this summer.

This is what we found at each place where we ate with the family. The fare was plain but good.

Potatoes and meat is the main course with such things as chow-chow, or bean relish. Sunday noon we ate at a farm and Saturday noon we ate in a little village. The difference between the two was minor. For dessert (What is that in Dutch?) we had about five different things like cake; Jell-O; canned peaches; cookies; cooked, dried apples with fine pieces of bananas cut in; and Montgomery Pie. There was no tablecloth at either place but a pretty, nearly new vinyl tablecloth, which was used just for company.

The floor was bare, no oilcloth, but little rugs, homemade, some made with patchwork, some crocheted and some pulled through burlap. The place in the village had a refrigerator, gas stove,

oil heat in the basement, and electricity. On the farm there was a wood stove in the kitchen for cooking, no refrigerator and kerosene lights to brighten up the place evenings.

But at both places a quiet prayer time came before the meal. That is something that goes forgotten in so many of our homes here.

[Florence did not tell us exactly where she visited in Canada, but most likely it was in one of three areas of Ontario that had early PA Dutch settlers, who had started arriving there from Pennsylvania in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. They were mostly Mennonites and similar religious groups who came either because they were looking for less expensive land or because they wanted to remain loyal to the Crown. The first area was in Lincoln County in the Vineland region, just west of Niagara Falls; a second settlement was in Waterloo County, near where the city of Waterloo is located today. The third place was in Vaughan and Markham townships of York County, just north of the city of Toronto. The descendants of those early settlers organized a Pennsylvania German Folklore Society in the 1950’s, and the dialect was spoken at their meetings, at least part of the time, well into the 1990’s. Isaac R. Horst (1918-2008), who wrote many poems and articles in the dialect, was from one of those areas.]

Sasha

Pit Bull Terrier • Size: Large Age: Adult • Sex: Female

We were contacted by LCHS for help. This girl was dropped off at the shelter and just about to give birth! She actually had her puppies at the shelter. :( Some of them developed kennel cough, and a few passed away. We got her and the puppies out of the shelter and into a loving foster home. This blue beauty raised her kids like a saint.

She is such a great mommy dog, and five gorgous puppies made it through. Sasha enjoys the company of children, and loves to play with other dogs her size. She seems to like male dogs better. Sasha is going through training but doing amazing. She is sure a show stopper. Sasha is about 2 years old, spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and waiting for you. Please check out www.pbrc.net and www.realpitbull.com for more info about our breed.

Community Partners 4 Kids Announces New Child Safety Program

Community Partners 4 Kids has just launched a new child safety program for children in our region. CP4Kids, an initiative of the Lehigh Valley Community Resource Center, has begun to offer its Child ID program to area nonprofit agencies and community groups at no cost to the agencies or parents.

“One Million Children Are Reported Missing or Abducted Each Year in the United States”, says The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

Additionally, the first three hours are the most critical when trying to locate a missing child. A 2006 study indicated that 76.2 percent of abducted children who are killed are dead within three hours.

Community Partners 4 Kids and LVCRC have conducted Child ID events in the region for over four years, providing safe & secure Amber Alert Certified electronic IDs for thousands of children.

The Amber Alert program was created in 1996 and is operated by the U.S. Department of Justice. As of April 17, 2013, 642 children have been successfully recovered as a result of the program.

Any nonprofit agency or community group

interested in hosting a Child ID event should contact Community Partners 4 Kids at 610-7405611.

Gov. Wolf Historical Society Fall Events

Find out what a group of amateur middle school archaeologists discovered last spring when they took part in a dig on the campus of the Governor Wolf Historical Society in East Allen Township.

At the society’s regular meeting, September 10 at 7 p.m., Dr. Douglas Lare of East Stroudsburg University will discuss the project, which involved a professional archaeologist, some East Stroudsburg students, and a seventh grade classroom from Harrison-Morton Middle School in Allentown.

Dr. Lare and his associate, Allison Rutter, will give a talk and a video presentation about the project, during which the students took part in an actual dig on the society’s campus, unearthed a number of interesting items, and expanded their knowledge of science and history.

The meeting will be held in the Monocacy School on the society’s campus (6600 Jacksonville Road in Bath). The public is invited. This is just the first of three exciting events happening at the society’s campus this fall.

On October 8, also the society’s regular monthly meeting, Steve Hilberg will present a display and talk on early types of lighting, from colonial times to the invention of the electric light bulb. Members

Page 21

and guests are encouraged to bring any unique or unusual types of lighting from their collections.

Both these talks are free and open to the public.

WoRM

Wiggles and squiggles, fun and laughter; all are sure to be bountiful this year at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Northampton with the introduction of the WoRM, or Workshop Rotation Model for Sunday School.

Because children learn in a variety of ways, the WoRM is a great way to give all students the chance to understand the Word of God in ways that resonate with them. Students have multiple weeks to learn and reflect on Bible lessons in a variety of ways, from stories and interactive plays or puppet shows in the Storyteller’s Tent, to hands-on arts and crafts that allow students to express their own artistic vision. A movie theater, a science lab and even a quaint café are all waiting to be visited and filled with excitement!

We invite you to join us for an adventure of Biblical proportions this year at WoRM. Join us for a fruity good time as we kick off this year’s theme, “Fruits of the Spirit” at a Rally Day Open House for all ages on Sunday September 8 at 9:00 am.

Slatington Bike Night

The Slatington Fire Department in conjunction with the Teamster Horsemen Motorcycle Association 53 North are hosting the 1st annual Bike Night and Car Show in honor of Milton "Bup" Greene. Bup was dedicated to Slatington in many ways. He was a volunteer firefighter for over 30 years as well as a member of Hose Company #1.

During his life in Slatington, he served on borough council as well. He was once the treasurer of the firehouse and worked at the carnival every year. He was an active member of the statue cleaning team and restoration committee. Bup received great joy out of helping his community and believed strongly in community service. His children approached the city to start an annual event to give back to the community, restore the statue as needed, and to raise money for the firehouse. This year on September 7th, 2013 (the Saturday after Labor Day), Slatington will shut down from 2nd Street to Washington Street. There will be bands, a DJ, vendors, food, drink/T-shirt specials, a kid zone, Chinese auction, 50/50 raffle, and a bike/car show with trophies awarded. The bands slated to play are Unstable Ground, Handel, Stingy Jack, The Secret System, CA/CD Tribute, and Jade Scott's band. Registration forms for the bike/car show can be found at many local businesses or you can register the day of the event from 10-11:30 a.m. Pre-registration is $8 for a bike and $10 for a

Northampton History Northampton was once a global center for the manufacturing of cement. The Atlas Portland Cement Company was based there, until it was closed in 1982, due largely to foreign competition. Northampton was created from the villages of Siegfried, Newport and Stemton, which together were formed into an alliance in 1902. In 1909, Atlas petitioned county courts to change the alliance into a borough, reportedly because the change would make it easier for the company to send and receive mail. The Atlas Portland Cement Company

plant closed in 1982, but borough residents—many of them former Atlas employees or their descendants—still identify strongly with the company and its history. The Atlas Portland Cement Company supplied most of the cement used in the building of the Panama Canal. The residents of Northampton are very proud of their town’s help in building one of the most famous canals in the history of the world. tHe NortHamptoN rec ceNter The Northampton Recreation Center has come a long way since its grand opening in November 2000.

CANAL STREET PARK At the turn of the century, the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company operated a canal paralleling the Lehigh River. With the improvements in transportation, the canal was no longer the most efficient means of moving goods and the area was neglected. After many years, it was a place where youngsters would play unsupervised in a woodland setting.

During the last thirty years, the Borough has reclaimed and restructured the area from the Cementon Bridge to the mouth of the Hokendauqua Creek to provide a

7th Annual Ride for Adam Raises $42,000 for NPC Research Story & Photos by Danielle Tepper Five live bands played at this year’s ride and Adam couldn’t resist getting on stage with them.

“He had such a good time up there,” said his father, Sean Recke.

“He was blowing on his hands, they were so hot from banging the drum.”

Adam playing with the Armadillos.

A

dam Recke is a typical teenager.

He loves music, hanging out with his friends, watching sports on TV, and is very excited to be attending Freedom High School as a freshman. According to his parents, he’s a “super happy kid.” Hiding behind Adam’s bright smile, however, is a disease that’s slowly robbing him of a normal adolescence.

In 2005, the week after Adam’s sixth birthday, he was diagnosed with an incredibly rare and terminal illness called NiemannPick Type C. For a disease to be considered “rare,” it has to affect less than 200,000 people in the United States. Right now, NPC affects just 500 people in the entire world, five of whom live in Pa. Nicknamed “childhood Alzheimer’s,” NPC inhibits the metabolism of cholesterol and other lipids. Excessive amounts of cholesterol therefore accumulate in the liver and spleen, while other lipids accumulate in the brain.

Adam’s symptoms began when he was only two weeks old.

“There was just something not right,” said his mother, Amy Recke. He was jaundiced, which she said “started the whole thing.” As he got older, his balance was off when he walked. He had an enlarged liver and spleen, which prompted his pediatrician to confirm that he had a cholesterol storage issue.

Unfortunately, because the symptoms in affected kids can be so varied, it makes NPC diagnosis difficult to pinpoint.

“Generally, it takes six years to get diagnosed and by that time, most children are too far along with the disease,” said Adam’s father, Sean Recke.

After word of Adam’s diagnosis spread that have already been approved by the Food throughout Salisbury Middle School in Allentown and Drug Administration (FDA), because to try where Sean worked as a technology education something experimental would be an impossible teacher, the Race for Adam Foundation came feat: “We were told it would take between eight and together less than a year later.

“When I had to go in and tell the principal about 10 years and a billion dollars to save him,” said the diagnosis, that was tough,” said Sean. “The Sean.

Right now, they’re exploring cyclodextrin, which assistant principal then told some people and they said they just had to help out. Matt Tobias, is a cylindrical sugar molecule that can be found in peanut butter, toothpaste, the president, got everything “We were told it would take and Febreze. The cholesterol going with the nonprofit.

It started with a few other between eight and 10 years and fits into the center of the people and they just got the a billion dollars to save him.” molecule and is excreted from the body before it can ball rolling for us.”

Through various fundraisers, the foundation become stored in the organs. It is effective in aims to raise at least $50,000 for the Reckes each prolonging life, but researchers aren’t exactly sure year, which they then combine with the three why it works yet.

Sean explained, “When the researchers say, other families they work with to hand over a grand total of $600,000 to researchers. They’re ‘ooh, this looks promising,’ we say okay, how much able to actually sit down with the researchers and money do you need to fund that? And that’s what discuss the progress being made toward earlier we do.”

Most of their money raised goes toward SOAR diagnoses, finding treatment, and hopefully (Support of Accelerated Research), which includes someday, finding a cure.

“They tell us what’s in the future, what we working with TRND (Therapies for Rare and should be funding, what we should be looking for, Neglected Diseases).

Since its inception, the Race for Adam and because of what we’re funding, they’re able to start clinical trials,” said Sean.

Ride for Adam Continued from Page 35 Foundation has organized countless fundraisers in Adam’s name, but easily their biggest of the year was actually started by just one man who was touched by Adam’s story.

Casey Stengel (of W. Casey Stengel Trucking, Inc.) heard about Adam through Greg Laub, who happened to work with Sean at Salisbury Middle School. They met in 2007 at a restaurant event in the Lehigh Valley Mall with the Philadelphia Phillies, which was thrilling, of course, for sports fan Adam.

“We saw Casey with his shirt ripped off, you know, sort of intimidating,” Sean laughed.“And he said to us, ‘I’m gonna make a few phone calls and I’m gonna knock your socks off.’”

Stengel thought he spoke too soon. “I really put my foot in my mouth,” he said.“I didn’t know what the hell I was gonna do.”

He shared Adam’s story with the biker community and was amazed at the response. That same year, they organized a ride in Adam’s name and asked for donations. Thus the Ride for Adam was born. The turnout was unlike anything they could have predicted.

“You heard this roaring from over the hill and the

bikes just kept coming and coming,” said Stengel.

They raised approximately $26,000 that first year with 400-500 motorcycles and a generous private donation brought them up to around $32,000.

“It’s grown immensely since then. I don’t think there’s a ride bigger than ours,” said Amy. “Casey and his friends are like family to us now.”

“It’s amazing,” added Sean. “After that first ride, I said, ‘Casey, you did it!’ and he said, ‘Wait, your pants are coming next.’ All the supporters that donate and give stuff to us every year … it’s unbelievable.”

The Ride for Adam Committee prepares all year for this one-day event. The ride is responsible for raising $30,000-50,000 for the foundation each year, most of which comes from $25 ticket sales.

Hope Reiss of Reiss Cycle, LLC (who sponsored this year’s first-ever fireworks display) said she markets the event to people by simply laying it out.

“Your ticket buys you beer, soda, water, lunch, dinner, five live bands and fireworks,” she said.

“Where else can you get all that for $25? It’s entertainment, food, fun, and friends, and it’s all to help this sick kid.”

Saturday, August 17 was the seventh annual Ride for Adam. After a brief opening ceremony, Adam yelled, “Start your engines!” at noon and

“Adam absolutely loves going for the ride,” said Reiss. “He’s out front leading the pack.”

The two-hour cruise is a 50-60 mile escorted route through rural Lehigh County. The streets were lined with waving neighbors and honking cars, as they all watched the seemingly neverending line of motorcycles pass through.

Attendance actually suffered a significant drop compared to last year, but that didn’t dampen Adam’s spirits.

“It was just so much fun,” said Amy. “He was up on stage with the band yelling, ‘One more, one more!’ I had to go get him down. He absolutely loves getting up there with those bands and

having a ball. He looks forward to this.”

The all-day event took place on a beautiful summer day. Sponsored by Celebration Fireworks and Reiss Cycle, LLC, the fireworks display was the icing on the cake of an awesome experience.

“It’s an amazing day and one of those days where it just feels good to be a part of it,” said Reiss. “When you see Adam’s face, you know you’ve done good.”

Reiss said she and her husband Brad didn’t hesitate to get involved when they heard about Adam and the struggles he and his family were enduring.

“Here you have middle America. They’re not on welfare and they’re not millionaires. This Continued on Page 38

That’s what really fired me up,” said Reiss. She also added, “It’s not fair. That’s what made me sad.

It broke my heart that Sean and his wife are such nice people and were living a normal life until this happened and what do you do?”

Reiss and the rest of the Ride committee are determined to raise as much money as possible each and every year for Adam. This year’s grand total was $42,000.

The ride has also been spreading awareness, something Sean said is their biggest hurdle besides raising money. It’s his hope that they can continue to enlighten people who have never heard of NPC. “With it being so rare, we don’t get a lot of

media attention,” he said.“If you would say cancer, everybody wants to help out. If it was cancer, we’d have hope. And right now, there is none and that’s what makes it even worse. But we keep trying.”

The Reckes look to their son’s bright smile to keep them going.

“To see Adam smile every day is a joy. To know that he’s enjoying life every day, we get to enjoy it with him,” said Sean. “And to see how much we’re pushing the research and we know they’re working hard for us. What we do and what we’re funding is for all the kids, it’s not just to help Adam. We know what we’re funding is good enough to help them. If it doesn’t work for Adam, maybe it will help other families in the future.”

Cadets of Civil Air Patrol Assist at Lehigh Valley Air Show

By Rusana Kasriel The weekend of August 24 and 25 marked the return of Lehigh Valley’s air show after a long 16year absence. The Cadets of the PA Wing of the Civil Air Patrol were on hand to assist with safety and security near the static aircraft displays and along the flight lines.

When not manning their posts, the young men and women from four local squadrons found time to conduct search and rescue training as well as assist distraught parents in helping them locate their missing 7-year-old son. The child went missing while his dad was standing in line to get some snacks. The father approached the Civil Air Patrol booth and asked for their assistance. Since our cadets are trained to respond in situations such as this, the group immediately mobilized.

Senior member of Bangor Squadron 807 used radio to contact the police and another went to find the nearest officer. Meanwhile, the Whitehall Squadron 805 member calmed the weeping mother, stopping her from frantically running around, and gently guided her to the spot where she was last with the child, all the while trying to calm and sooth her.

Before you know it, the child was found and the happy mother could not stop hugging our cadets

while profusely thanking them.

Captain Sacco of Squadron 805 was heard saying, "It's great to have an airshow this close to home and we're glad that CAP can help out the community.”

Cadet Kasriel, of the Whitehall Squadron 805, proudly exclaimed upon return to the booth,“This is what we do!”

Civil Air Patrol was founded in December of 1941, one week before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, by more than 150,000 citizens who were concerned about the defense of America’s coastline. Under the jurisdiction of the Army Air Forces, CAP pilots flew more than 500,000 hours performing a wide variety of duties, including coastal patrol for submarine activity as well as ships and personnel in distress, target towing for the Armed Forces and courier flights for essential personnel and war materials.

On July 1, 1946, President Harry Truman established CAP as a federally chartered nonprofit corporation, and Congress passed a law on May 26, 1948, designating CAP as the Air Force auxiliary and giving CAP three primary missions — emergency services, cadet programs and aerospace education.

Currently the Civil Air Patrol has more than 60,000 members nationwide and operates a fleet of 550 aircraft. CAP, in its Air Force auxiliary role, performs 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and is credited by the AFRCC with saving an average of 80 lives annually. Its unpaid professionals also perform homeland security, disaster relief and drug interdiction missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. The members play a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to nearly 26,000 young people currently participating in the CAP cadet programs. CAP received the World Peace Prize in 2011 and has

What sets these young cadets, whose ages range from 12 to 18, apart from the rest of the kids their age is their respect for their elders, self-reliance, independence, and most of all, a sense of camaraderie. CAP is dedicated to providing our youth with character development, leadership opportunities, and the nation’s leading aerospace education program, which gets our students enthusiastic about science, technology, engineering, and math. Unlike any other program, squadrons, although under the supervision of senior adult member, are run by the youths who are responsible for deciding on the schedule of the day and teaching subjects like math, physics, and map reading. What’s more, there are programs to teach them how to fly an airplane, survive in the wild, how to provide first aid, and assist in search and rescue operations. Cadets of the Civil Air Patrol are often called to help with rescue efforts in situations ranging from helping in the aftermath of hurricanes and storms to searching for crashed aircrafts.

Young Eagles Flight Rally On October 12 at Slatington Airport Area, young people ages 8 to 17 will have a chance to take to the skies as the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 855 hosts a Young Eagles Flight Rally at Slatington Airport (69N).

The rally is part of the EAA Young Eagles Program, created to interest young people in aviation. Since the program was launched in 1992, Volunteer EAA pilots have flown more than 1.7 million young people who reside in more than 90 countries.

“Free airplane rides are just part of the Flight Rally,” said Bill Lokes, spokesman for the event.

“We hope to build one-to-one relationships between pilots and young people, giving a new generation a chance to learn more about the possibilities that exist in the world of aviation.”

Pilots at the event will also explain more about their airplanes allowing young people to discover how airplanes work and how pilots ensure safety is the prime concern before every flight.

Following the flight, each young person will receive a certificate making them an official Young Eagle. Their name will then be entered into the “World’s Largest Logbook”which is on permanent display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, WI. The logbook is also accessible on the internet at www.youngeagles.org.

In addition to the certificate, the new Young Eagle will be given a logbook with an access code for a complete free online flight training course offered by Sporty’s.

We will be offering free hot dogs, chips and soft drinks and water at the rally.

Along with flight rallies, EAA members also fly Young Eagles on an individual basis. Each pilot volunteers their time and aircraft so the flights can be provided free of charge for interested young people.

Those attending the flight rally on October 12 are asked come to Slatington Airport starting at 9 a.m. to register for their flight. Flights begin at 9 a.m., with registration closing at 2 p.m.

Additional information about EAA and the EAA Young Eagles program is available on the internet.

Access to EAA’s home page is available at www. eaa.org. The Young Eagles webpage is www. youngeagles.org.

This spring, we introduced 38 young people to the excitement and opportunity that aviation holds.

Northern Lehigh

Extra Point

by Tyler Trumbauer

High School Football Preview Northwestern Lehigh

• Coach: Josh Snyder (2nd year, 3-7) • Last year: 3-7 overall • Preview: Northwestern saw spots of success last season as they did earn three victories through their 2012 campaign. With 19 starters coming back this season the Tigers are looking at building on their mild success last season in hopes of playing more than 10 games in 2013.

“Playing in that 11th week is what you play for,” Head coach Josh Snyder said. “You don’t start the preseason willing to settle. We set lofty goals here. We worked extremely hard in the offseason and in the weight room. If we execute, we can be a legitimate team to play in that 11th week.”

Starting junior quarterback Frankie DeAngelo is the key to the Tigers’ success this season if he can successfully pioneer the offense to the end zone more often each game those victories will come and the Tigers might sneak in to the district playoffs.

• Coach: Joe Tout (8th year, 58-24) • Last year: 7-4 overall, 7-3 in CL; Lost to Catty in D-11 2A semi-finals • Preview: The Bulldogs haven’t done much rebuilding in recent years as they have kept reloading every season with more talent to replace the graduate, but their run of dominance may have come to an end. Northern Lehigh lost their main contributors offensively to graduation and are trying to replenish the stock. Head coach Joe Tout and Northern Lehigh might have some trouble in the Colonial League which has gotten tougher each year. Catty, Pen Argyl and Bangor are among the many teams that are on the rise and are ready to strike this fall.

Joke Corner

Recently, the Psychic Hotline and Psychic Friends Network have launched hotlines for frogs. Here is the story of one frog and his discussing with his psychic.

A frog telephones the Psychic Hotline and is told, "You are going to meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you."

The frog says, "This is great! Will I meet her at a party, or what?"

"No," says the psychic. "Next semester in her biology class."

Extra Point cont.

Continued from Page 48 • Preview: The Trojans lost Tim Baranek and Jarel Elder, two of their biggest contributors from 2012.

They lost a huge senior class to graduation, but that doesn’t worry head coach Jim Morgans as there is another big senior class ready to step up and they have experience too. “I absolutely [think the experience will help]. Anytime you can bring some experienced players back, especially a group that played pretty deep in to the season, it can help.

We had 14 football games last season. As far as the season is concerned, it is like having an addition spring football season. We had four extra weeks of football that helps.” That extra playoff experience will be useful down the stretch as Parkland will find themselves in playoff situations. It will be shocking if this team is not playing for at least one championship this fall.

Northampton

• Coach: Jeff Brosky (2nd year, 2-9) • Last year: 2-9 overall, 1-8 in LVC • Preview: Head Coach Jeff Brosky is back for his second year as the leader of the Konkrete Kids and he is mixing in some old and new for 2013. Returning with Brosky is senior quarterback Nick Cook who has plenty of experience under center for Northampton. Brosky and the senior class want to end Northampton’s playoff drought which dates back to 2008 and they want to do it now. “I want to win enough games to qualify for postseason play. That has been the goal of this senior class. We want to be in postseason play and be in playoff situations.” Brosky has high hopes for this season where all home contests will be played at Nazareth’s Andrew S. Leh Stadium. There will be more wins for the K-Kids, but obtaining playoff status may be a feat that is just out of their reach for 2013.

Lehighton

• Coach: Tom McCarroll (2nd year, 3-7) • Last year: 3-7 overall, 2-6 in MVC • Preview: The entire 2012 senior class for Lehighton will be missed on Friday nights this fall, especially Jacen Nalesnik. However with four returning seniors and a lot of underclassmen who saw significant playing time last season, head coach Tom McCarroll isn’t too worried about replacing the departed. “We played a lot of underclassmen last year and the saw how things should be done in terms of execution, effort and overall attitude [from the seniors]. They were able to get their feet wet.” McCarroll also said that he isn’t worried too much on their wins and losses this year, but with individual successes. Which is great as the Indians probably will see a lot more individual victories than team ones as the season goes along.

Palmerton

• Coach: Chris Walkowiak (3rd year, 4-16) • Last year: 0-10 overall • Preview: There is no way around it, last year was rough. Palmerton struggled through 10 games and failed to achieve a victory in any of them. Despite the dismal record third year head coach Chris Walkowiak still has lofty goals for 2013. “...we expect to win. Our goals are the same every year. Last year we wanted to have a winning season and make playoffs and we want to do the same this year. We kind of think, ‘why not us?’ We aren’t just going to settle for two, three, or four wins.”The Blue Bombers have the mantra,“We are not prisoners of the past,” and I don’t think they completely will be. This football program should see more success on the field this season with a lot of players returning from 2012 with game experience, but despite all of that, they don’t have a “get out of jail free” card for 2013.
