This is our 3rd Annual Blue Mountain Health Edition, featuring some great resources to keep you and your family healthy and fit! Personally, about six months ago I decided that it was time to start working out again. When you have a sedentary job it’s easy to get lax fitness-wise. So, I fired up the treadmill and began a nightly running regimen. I began slowly – only about a mile and a half every evening after work. But, within a month or two I was regularly completing three to four miles a day at about a ten-minute mile pace, which isn’t bad. I mean, it’s not like I’m Usain Bolt, but I’m pretty proud of the progress. I’ve found that running daily has not only helped me shed a couple of pounds, but also is a great stress reliever and almost meditative. I do some of my best thinking on that treadmill. Honestly, I can’t recommend running enough. But, whatever way you choose to stay fit, and there are many including the awesome bike trails and hiking areas around our communities, best of luck. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

Rentschler Helps Raise $1,020 for St. John Neumann Regional School Rentschler Chrysler Jeep Dodge helped raise $1,020 in funding for St. John Neumann Regional School with Chrysler brand’s Drive for the Kids™ program. The fundraising event was held on May 7th in conjunction with the elementary school’s Science Fair. “The Chrysler brand and our local dealerships are committed to giving back to the communities where we do business,” said Carlos Jimenez, Director of the MidAtlantic Business Center for Chrysler Group LLC. “We are extremely proud to support both schools and organizations, as they encourage student development and growth.” Participants earned a $10 contribution to the school on their behalf from the Chrysler brand by taking a brief test drive in a 2013 model Town & Country minivan - highest ranked in loyalty 11 years in a row, as well as other Chrysler vehicles made available for test drives thanks to the Rentschler Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealership. At the conclusion of the program, the school with the highest number of test drives in each one of the five geographic regions (Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Central, and West) will win an additional $5,000, for a total of $25,000 in additional funding from Chrysler through the
Drive for the Kids™ program. Since 1993, when Chrysler introduced Drive for the Kids™, Chrysler dealers have worked with parents and educators in communities across the nation. Chrysler has contributed nearly $5 million directly to local schools for student needs, from playgrounds and field trips to reading programs and new computers. Chrysler is proud of this tradition of community involvement. For more information, visit www.drive4kids.com/ Learn more about Chrysler Group, LLC at www.chrysler. com.

Harhart Congratulates Winners of ‘No Bullying’ Poster Contest In an effort to engage students in combating the growing problem of school bullying, state Rep. Julie Harhart (R-Lehigh/Northampton) held a “No Bullying” poster contest for all fourth-grade students in the 183rd Legislative District. “This was a contest based on an issue most all kids can relate to – whether they have been a perpetrator, victim or witness of bullying – so the students really got involved and came up with some creative and thoughtful posters,” said Harhart. “I am proud of all the participants who took the time to create and enter posters for the contest. It was definitely hard to choose the winner.” Harhart said the contest was voluntary and posters were judged on expression of theme, originality of poster design, use of positive message and originality of art work. The winner of the contest is Leaira Collins, a student from Slatington Elementary School. The runners up are Joelyne Jacob and Paige Bartholomew from Sheckler Elementary School, who worked together on their poster. The winning and runner-up posters are currently on display in the Capitol Rotunda. Leaira, Joelyne and Paige, along with their families, have

Chamber Displays Local Artists’ Work
The Carbon Chamber and Economic Development offices resemble an art gallery since four local artists provided paintings and photographs for previously bare walls. The display was arranged by the Carbon County Art League and will continue throughout the year with a changing display of work by local artists. Art League Vice President Linda Christman explained that the League is a member of the Chamber and wanted to brighten the new offices and show local businesses that art has a place in office and retail spaces. The four artists who are exhibiting work at the Chamber through July are Earlene Russell, a painter; Mary Ann Schwartz, a photographer, Pauia Zelienka, a watercolor artist; and Margie Long, a painter. The work includes paintings and photographs of local scenes, nature and portraits. All of the exhibited work is for sale and the Chamber will benefit by receiving a commission on any sales.

Newhard Pharmacy in running for Top Good Neighbor Pharmacy Award By Chrissy Zopf Newhard Pharmacy, a familiar landmark to residents of Northampton has been serving the community since 1895, when it first belonged to Dr. Charles Meixell. In 1943 the Pharmacy was sold to Aaron Newhard, owner of 26 years and the namesake of the pharmacy. Today the business has grown, been passed on to new owners, and become a member of the Good Neighbor Pharmacy (GNP) Network. This year, Newhard has had the honor of being nominated as a finalist in GNP’s national recognition competition along with three other pharmacies throughout the nation. In 1969, Newhard Pharmacy took its first step in

becoming what it is today when it was sold to Jack Pavis and his wife Charlotte who, worried they would not have enough time to raise their children, formed a partnership with Peter and Jackie Stahl. Business boomed as new customers, along with the current clientele, were drawn into the Pharmacy. Within six years the business had outgrown it’s small, 2,000 sq. foot building and was relocated to the location of the former Northampton and Bath Railroad Terminal as a 9,600 sq. foot stand-alone store. Along with more space came more goods and services, including grocery items, over the counter remedies, ATMs, and photo developing services among other things. The business continued to thrive, despite the growing competition of chain pharmacies in the 1980’s. In 2003 Peter retired, and Jack’s son John, a pharmacist himself, filled his position. Since then, the father and son have been business partners, expanding Newhard Pharmacy to a local business that offers Long Term Care, Medicare Accreditation, and numerous vaccines, along with many other specialized services offered by highly qualified employees. Newhard Pharmacy has been providing service to the area for more than a century, overcoming challenges, and finding new opportunities in order to be an innovative leader. These qualities

caught the attention of those at GNP, as Newhard Pharmacy, along with Bryan’s Family Pharmacy of Lebanon, OH, Ordway Drug Store of St, Monterey, CA, and Accardi Pharmacy of Orange City, FL, has been nominated as one of four finalists to receive national recognition as Pharmacy of the Year. “We are honored to be nominated by the Good Neighbor Pharmacy organization. Given all the changes we have implemented over the years to keep ahead of the curve, it is gratifying that our efforts have been noticed and appreciated,” says Jack Pavis. Later this month, the four finalists will meet in Las Vegas, where video stories from each of the them will be revealed and then voted on by Pharmacists, peers, and Good Neighbor Pharmacy Members in order to determine the 2013 Pharmacy of the Year. In regards to the future of the pharmacy and what changes the competition may bring, both father and son have stated, “Our employees and customers are thrilled that we are one of the four national finalists - regardless of how the voting goes on July 26th, we feel like winners and will build on that excitement for many years to come.”

Touch of Dutch 3 Yuli, 1958 Was mer net karyose Dinge lest, wann mer so bissel lest fer der Zeitverdrieb. Mer hen yuscht do glese, was die Leit als fer Yaahre zerick geduh hen, wann die Millich raar waar. Sie hen Bier odder Seider gyuust mit Mehl un Oier neigriehrt. Was hen die Leit geduh, wie Salz so raar waar darrich der Revolutionary Grieg? Mer hen yuscht do glese, as ee Mann noch Filldellfi gange waar in 1777 fer Salz kaufe, awwer er hot yuscht Vaddel Buschel griege kenne. Well, dann hen sie en Substitute yuuse misse. Es iss en Graut gwohne dorum sell Zeit, as sie Farnkraut gheese hen. Des waar, wie mer in Englisch saage deet, in de „Fern Family“. Die Bledder vum dem Schtock hen sie fei gemaale un des fei Powder iwwer’s Fleesch gzoddelt un sie hen’s aa uff em Disch gyuust in Blatz vun Salz. Des Graut vun den Schtock hen sie glaernt yuuse vun de Insche. Nau vergesst net as Heit widder die Hundsdaage aafange.

Die Arn is widder do un der Parre Amandus Leiby vun Easton hot uns des Raetzel gewwe: Mir wetze gut, mir wetze gut, Un wer net wetzt, dem schneit’s net gut, Der Hinnerscht hot die Boddel im Hut. -Florence Baver July 3, 1958 What strange things we don’t read, when we read a little to pass the time. We just read here what the people did years back, when they had no milk. They used beer or cider and stirred in flour and eggs. What did the people do when salt was scarce during the Revolutionary War? We just read here that one man went to Philadelphia

in 1777 to buy salt, but he could get just a quarter bushel. Well then they needed to use a substitute. There was a plant growing around here in that time period that they called bracken. That was, as we would say in English, in the fern family. They ground the leaves from that plant finely and sprinkled that fine powder over the meat [to preserve it], and also used it at the table in place of salt. They learned to use the top [leaves] from this plant from the Native Americans. Don’t forget that today, again, is the start of the dog days of summer. An old adage is that if one lets the rain fall on his head during the dog

days, then one’s hair will fall out. And bet, as the weather is on the first three dog days, so will be the weather the first three months of the New Year. The harvest is here again and Pastor Amandus Leiby from Easton gave us this riddle: We sharpen well, we sharpen well, And whoever does not, for him it does not cut well, The last one has the bottle in his hat. [Anyone familiar with the last line, please let us know its meaning.] Reminder: The Kutztown Festival is held this week, ending on Sunday, July 7.

Melody
This boy was "owned" but very neglected. He spent most of his life in a dirty cramped crate. A kind family took him in, until rescue was found. Sunrays was contacted to help. This boy is stunning, and he always seems to have a smile on his face. So far he is doing great with people, and has met other dogs with his foster family. With proper introductions he is doing quite well. Scooby is about 1 1/2 years old, neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. He is going to be starting obedience training and walks well on his freedom harness. He is thin at about 60 pounds, so will be close to 70 when he puts some weight back on. Scooby dooby doo, could be the one for you!

rom bug bites and dry skin to poison ivy and chronic skin conditions, itching makes life very uncomfortable. And it’s an annoyance that gets under just about everyone’s skin. Sixty-five percent of U.S. adults have suffered from some kind of itch in the past 12 months; and for 26 percent of those polled, the itch was bad enough to see a healthcare professional, according to a recent poll conducted online by Harris Interactive for TriCalm, a new anti-itch gel. You know it when you feel it, but what exactly is an itch, and is there anything you can do about it?
Anatomy of an Itch The skin is your largest organ, and the average body is covered by about 20 square feet of it. Because it’s so large and exposed, it comes in contact with a lot of potential irritants. Itching, known as pruritus, is a built-in defense mechanism against those irritants. Sometimes the body’s immune system overreacts to an illness, producing an itchy rash. (See sidebar story, “When is an Itch More than Just an Itch?”) But for most nonillness related itching, here’s how it works:
www.townandcountrygazette.com | July 4, 2013
www.townandcountrygazette.com | July 4, 2013
— such as dust, pollen, bug venom or plant oils — land on your skin.
Page 25
n Stimuli n When
the irritant gets past the surface layer, skin receptors get irritated.
n The
receptors send a signal to your brain.
n You
start to itch.
The natural response to an itch is to remove the irritant — so the scratching begins. The scratching sensation interrupts the itching sensation because it tells your brain that the irritant is gone. While this may give some initial, immediate relief, scratching ends up irritating the nerve endings in that spot even more — and can open up the skin, exposing it to more irritants. And more itching.
Itch Treatments
It’s important to make sure you know the cause of the itching so you can take appropriate measures to stop it. There are some things you can do to help reduce itching and soothe irritated skin: n Avoid
scratching — Cover the area with bandages or dressings if you can’t stop scratching. If needed, trim your fingernails and wear gloves to bed.
n Apply
cool, wet compresses.
n Apply
a topical anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area.
n Moisturize

When is an itch more than just an itch? It’s obvious when an itch is caused by a bug bite or poison ivy. But what if you’re not sure what’s causing the itch? n Dry
Skin — Itching that doesn’t come with obvious skin changes, like a rash, is most often due to dry skin, also known as xerosis. Dry skin usually results from environmental factors like hot or cold weather with low humidity, and washing or bathing too much.
n Skin
Conditions — Eczema, psoriasis, scabies, hives, and chickenpox can cause itchy skin. The itching is usually accompanied by other symptoms such as bumps, blisters, and red, irritated skin.
n Internal
Diseases — These include liver disease, kidney failure, thyroid problems, celiac disease and some cancers. Typically the itching affects the whole body, not just one area.
n Allergic
Reactions and Irritations — An irritation can come from wearing wool, or coming in contact with soaps, chemicals or other substances. Sometimes the substance can cause an allergic reaction, such as poison ivy or some food allergens.
n Nerve
Disorders — Multiple sclerosis, diabetes mellitus, pinched nerves and shingles are conditions that affect the nervous system, and thus can cause itching.
n Drugs
— Some antibiotics, antifungal drugs or nar cotic pain medications can cause rashes and itching.
It’s important to understand and treat the cause of itchy skin, so always seek medical advice before choosing a treatment.

Itch Relief Basics Continued from Page 25 “Some anti-itch creams work by reducing inflammation, but that’s not always enough,” says Dr. Vishakha Gigler, a San Diego based dermatologist. “TriCalm, a steroid-free anti-itch gel, binds to a subset of nerves called Type C fibers. These are the nerve cells that send the signals of itching, stinging or burning to the brain. By binding to these nerve cells, TriCalm works to inhibit the transmission of those signals. This results in a rapid reduction in itching, stinging and burning.” Learn more, and request a free sample, at www.tricalm.com.

Superintendent Q&A with Lehighton Area’s Jonathan Cleaver
During the upcoming summer issues our staff writer, Tyler Trumbauer, will be interviewing all six Superintendents from all six of the school districts that the Gazette encompasses. He will be asking each administrator the same inquiries to see how their district is faring in these trying times for public schools. This installment, the third of six, is with Lehighton Area’s Superintendent, Jonathan Cleaver. TT: How would you describe this past school year for your district across the board? JC: Overall I think we had a great year this year. We had a lot of initiatives. We started working a lot with reading consultants in the elementary to try and increase our reading levels for all students. At the middle school we are looking at incorporating some new clubs. We are trying to get a lot of involvement with the students. At the

high school this past year we had a new program about drug and alcohol. We had a full-time drug and alcohol prevention specialist. We took a proactive approach with students about drugs and alcohol to try and get them to make the right decisions. Overall this past year was great. We went above and beyond what most schools do on a daily basis. That comes from great teachers, great staff and great administrators that work towards that goal. TT: In your own words what is the current state of Lehighton Area School District? JC: Right now I think we are improving. We are improving with our academics. We are improving what we are offering our students. We are improving how we help our teachers with professional development. Right now I think we are in an improvement state. As a Superintendent I look for areas to improve and I think we are always doing that. TT: What is your main concern moving forward? JC: The main concern for me is the unknown as far as the state. There are a lot of unknowns about the Common Core. Some legislators are for it, while some are against it. Just fearing the unknown is a concern. We don’t want to go and dig too deep in to the things that we hear out of Harrisburg because we don’t want to take on the financial burden with some of these new initiatives with professional development until we know for certain the direction in which the state is going. I think that is the biggest concern I have overall is with decisions that we are moving forward. Making sure that those decisions are made with the best interest of students and teachers in mind is important. We are lucky that we haven’t had to furlough any teachers yet because we are making those types of decisions. We need to continue that so that we don’t need to go down that road. TT: What do you want to do in the immediate future with the district? JC: What I want to do is keep my focus on the education part of the district. There are so many other facets that a Superintendent needs to look at, but I want to focus on education. That Continued on Page 40

is most important for the students. As far as the district we are looking at some building projects. All of our buildings at some point in the future will need some work. It has been 20 years since we have done major construction on any of our facilities. Education and our facilities are the two things that I am focusing on. TT: How do you see your district in five years? JC: I think we will see a mass improvement in education. Our scores recently have been improving and I think they will be doing even better in five years. I think we will be seeing a lot of turnover in staff. We will see some new faces. We look at an average of six to ten teachers retiring each year. So for each year, we are looking at 30-50 new faces for the district by 2018. That will be part of the change as we look forward to it as with change comes new ideas. I’m sure in the next five years we will be doing something that today we aren’t even thinking of due to the Governor’s budget or teacher retirement. It will be interesting. What Lehighton will look like in five years will look a lot like the state government will look like in five years because it has that trickle-down effect.

Page 41 How Does the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act Protect Me? When the economy tipped into rescission in 2008, the Pennsylvania General Assembly enacted the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act (“HICPA”). The plan was to promote confidence in the economy and protect property owners from potentially dodgy contractors. As the economy recovers, more and more people are having improvements completed, and relying heavily upon their tax refunds and/or home equity to do so. A review of the Act’s key provisions could influence if, and how, an owner decides to use these important assets and the protections of the Act. What kind of work is covered under the HICPA? The Act requires a contractor to register with the Bureau of Consumer Protection in the Office of the Pennsylvania Attorney General. This registration must occur before the contractor can describe him/herself as a contractor, subcontractor or independent contractor, and before he/she does any home improvement. The Act applies to work valued in excess of $500.00 done on a private residence or a portion of a building used or designed as a private residence. It does not matter if the work involves repair, replacement, remodeling, demolition, removal, renovation, installation, alteration, conversion, modernization, improvement, rehabilitation or sandblasting. The work can cover interior and exterior features, but also cover driveways, swimming pools, pool houses, porches, garages, roofs, siding, insulation, solar energy systems, security systems, flooring, patios, fences, gazebos, sheds, cabanas, most landscaping, painting, doors, windows, waterproofing, and installation of central heating, air conditioning, storm windows and awnings. Who is protected by the HICPA? The owner of a residence is protected by the Act, as well as any person “entitled to the performance of the work” which can be reasonably interpreted, in some cases, to include a tenant. A person who owns more than three residences is not covered by the Act unless he or she actually uses such portions affected by the home improvement for personal recreational purposes, or such residence is his/her primary residence. What protection does HICPA provide? A contractor must provide his PA Bureau of Consumer Protection-provided registration number on all advertising materials, estimates, proposals, and contracts. Any contract presented to an owner must also set forth the Bureau’s toll-free number (1-888-5206680) where anyone can learn whether such contractor is registered with the Bureau. The following information is also available on the Bureau’s website (http://www.attorneygeneral.gov/hiccon. aspx?id=4502): whether the contractor has (1) ever been convicted of a criminal offense relating to a home improvement transaction, fraud, theft, crime of deception or fraudulent business practices; or (2) in the past 10 years, filed for bankruptcy, or had a civil judgment relating to a home improvement transaction, entered against him or herself, or a business in which he/she had an interest; or (3) in the past 10 years, has ever been suspended or debarred from participating in any Federal, State, local, or not- for-profit program where assistance is provided for home improvements; and (4) proof of insurance against personal injury and property damage in amounts not less than $50,000.00. Two of the most important protections are that the owner must be given a copy of the agreement at the time it is signed and that every owner has the automatic right to rescind the contract within three (3) business days without penalty. Interestingly, the Act allows the owner to sue the contractor fairly easily, including, in some cases, the right to recover treble (i.e. triple) damages, courts costs, and attorney fees. By contrast, however, the Act does not allow the contractor to sue the owner unless the contract contains a number of very important protections for the owners, such as the contractor registration number, the signatures of all parties, a description of the entire agreement, the date of the transaction, the name, address (not a post office address) and telephone number of the contractor, the approximate start date and completion date, a description of the work to be performed, the materials to be used, and a set of specifications that cannot be changed without a written change order signed by the owner and the contractor. Also, the contract must state the total sales price due under the contract, the amount of any down payment plus any amount advanced for special order materials, the existence of insurance coverage of at least $50,000 against personal injury and property damage, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all subcontractors on the project known at the date of signing the contract, and the toll-free number of the Bureau of Consumer Protection, and the notice of the right of rescission, among other things. New criminal sanctions are also available under the Act.

Healthy Summer Survival Guide
Proper planning can help you live life to the fullest. The warmer months mean social gatherings, travel and an active outdoor lifestyle. Ensure that you take the appropriate steps to stay safe and healthy this summer so you can have fun with confidence. 1. Get outside and rejuvenate your mind and body, but ensure that you give your skin a bit of TLC. Ultraviolet rays can harm your skin even when it’s cold or cloudy, so take the necessary precautions to protect your skin. Choose a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF)

rating of at least 15 and apply 20 to 30 minutes before going outside. 2. Exercise, also known as Mother Nature’s antidepressant, can have a direct effect on your overall mood and self-confidence. Physical activity is also at the cornerstone of healthy aging, according to the experts at the National Institute on Aging. Move vigorously: Jog, swim, dance or garden at least 20 minutes a day, at least five days a week. Just remember to stretch your muscles first. Joining a gym can not only be a great way to get fit, it can be a good place to find new friends. Studies show socialization is vital, especially as you grow older. The National Institute on Aging adds that engaging in social and productive activities you enjoy, such as taking an art class or volunteering in the community or with your place of worship, may help maintain your well-being. Studies have also found that people involved in hobbies and other social and leisure pursuits may be less likely to develop some health problems, including dementia. They might even live longer. 3. If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation— especially on hot days. According to the National Institutes of Health, people over 65 should have no more than seven drinks a week and no more than three drinks on any one day. While there are ingredients in red wine that may be good for your health, you can get many of the same benefits from a glass of grape juice. 4. If you are a denture wearer, the idea of dentures dislodging during dinner with friends or a meeting with colleagues can be mortifying. A recent study by Wakefield Research for Fixodent revealed that 72 percent of respondents avoid some type of food because of their dentures. In fact, more than 57 percent of all respondents have ordered “denture safe” food when dining out with company. If your dentures don’t fit well, you should seek the care of a prosthodontist. Additionally, to help with oral hygiene and avoid potentially embarrassing slips, you should consider using a denture adhesive. Fixodent® is one such adhesive that helps seal out food particles and kills odor-causing bacteria for a clean mouth and fresh breath. With Fixodent, you can eat, drink, laugh, and go about your day knowing that your dentures will not only stay in place but give you full-mouth protection.

Are You Ready For The Real Cost Of Health Care? Recent health care changes may offer more Americans access to major medical coverage, but consumers should be aware of the effect that out-of-pocket health care costs will continue to have on their bank accounts. Consumers may find themselves financially unprepared for an unexpected illness or injury if they do not understand all aspects of the cost of medical care. The U.S. government predicts that household out-of-pocket health care expenses will reach an average of $3,301 per year by 2014; yet, the 2013 Aflac WorkForces Report (AWR) finds that only 23 percent of workers are saving more money in anticipation of medical expense increases. Due to rising health care costs, employers are likely to shift more of the share to their employees—which can mean higher copayments, deductibles and premiums—to try to limit company spending on health benefits. “Major medical insurance was never designed to cover everything,” said Manisha Thakor, personal finance expert. “Benefits packages don’t cover copays, co-insurance or necessary medical supplies, among other things, and the true cost of accidents and illnesses can be staggering.” There are also expenses that continue—like rent

Expenses such as rent and food can increase the total cost of an illness or accident that prevents a person from working. or a car payment—when people have an illness or injury that prevents them from working. This could mean costs higher than people anticipate. Consumers can prepare themselves for the unexpected by following this simple, four-step plan: 1. Take advantage of employer-sponsored wellness programs. Not only will consumers feel better as a result of taking proactive steps to improve health and wellness, but participating could lower insurance rates, depending on insurance plans. 2. Go to preventative care checkups once or twice yearly. Taking action to offset potential problems down the road helps minimize the chance of illness or poor health escalating into a costly condition. 3. Increase your savings rate. According to the AWR, most people aren’t saving enough. Nearly half (46 percent) of American workers have less than $1,000 in savings, which may not cover costs associated with serious illnesses or accidents. Now more than ever, it’s important to prepare for out-of-pocket health care expenses. 4. Talk to HR to understand medical insurance coverage. Consumers can stay involved in benefits decisions by educating themselves on what’s available. They should turn to HR representatives for clarity if they are uncertain about insurance offerings and also consider voluntary insurance to fill gaps in coverage.

Extra Point by Tyler Trumbauer
Trumbauer speaks with NFL Great Andre Reed The year is 1985. It’s the National Football League Annual Player Selection Meeting, more commonly known as the NFL Draft. The location is Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Over two days, April 30th and May 1st, there will be 336 amateur college football players selected by NFL franchises. These elite athletes will be able to continue living the dream and play the game they love professionally. A quick jaunt southwest from the Big Apple will land you in the heart of Allentown, Pennsylvania. On April 30, 1985, day one of the two day process that will change hundreds of people’s lives, 21year old Andre Darnell Reed was at home with his family. The Kutztown University wide receiver had just finished his senior year as a Golden Bear. During his years on campus, Reed earned a college degree while winning multiple All-American
awards for his skills on the gridiron. The first overall pick during the ’85 draft belongs to the Buffalo Bills and they select Bruce Smith, a defensive end out of Virginia Tech. The Bills, along with the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Raiders, all have the most picks in the draft- 17 each, sprinkled throughout the 12 rounds. After selecting Smith, the Bills, coming off a 2-14 season the previous year, have 16 more opportunities to choose prime collegiate players to better their franchise. However, with the second pick in round four, the 86th pick overall, and the seventh pick by the Bills in the draft, the AFC East franchise would make a selection that would impact not only the franchise, but the city of Allentown. The Bills select… Allentown’s own, Andre Reed. The 6’2”, Division II receiver was about to embark on a new chapter in his life. He was about to leave home, leave his family, leave the Lehigh Valley and everything he has known. He was on his way to play professional football for the Buffalo Bills and he couldn’t have been any happier. “I wanted to spend that special day with my family,” Reed said last week at the Boys & Girls Club in Allentown. “It was great that I got drafted because our family never thought this would

happen. When I got drafted I didn’t say ‘Oh, it was such hard work.’ I said ‘Now I need to take it to the next level.’ I knew what work had to be done now that I was drafted. It was amazing to be even drafted.” Reed graduated from Dieruff High School in 1982. While he was there he was a member of the Huskies’ football program and played quarterback. During his senior season he led the Huskies to be Tri-Champions with Emmaus and Whitehall of the East Penn Conference, now called the Lehigh Valley Conference. After high school, Reed said there were other colleges in the mix beyond Kutztown University, but according to him, “I was a young 17 year old and I just wanted to stay close to home. I could’ve gone somewhere else, but I felt like that was right for me at the time. Obviously, I made the right choice with Kutztown. I like that it was just a one hour ride there and they had a great football program with academics. I also had great coaches that pushed me and pushed scouts to look at me.” Upon his arrival in Kutztown a lot was happening and happening fast for the flourishing Reed. First his coaches moved him from the quarterback to the wide receiver position. Then his freshman year, he got an unannounced visitor. “We had a defensive back named, Bernie

Nowotarski, who is now the head coach of the Arena [football] team up in Harrisburg. He was a junior when I was a freshman. I remember meeting my first scout from the NFL that year. He was from the Seattle Seahawks and he was coming to see Bernie. They had watched film on me and he told me that the Seahawks were going to be watching me over the next few years. Hearing that scouts were watching me was kind of a wake-up call. That showed me that I had something going for me here and that I needed to keep working harder.” Having such a caveat at an early age for Reed motivated him to play to the best of his ability all four years at Kutztown. He recommends much of the same for any collegiate student-athlete. “I think it is the same at every level, it doesn’t matter what school that you go to. You have to really stay within yourself and continue to do what you have been doing that has gotten you this far. As you progress it gets a lot harder and you have to be able to handle that.”

The Allentownian was eager to begin what would be a 16-year NFL career, but he admits he never thought that he would don a Bills uniform as the two teams really interested in him before the draft were the Denver Broncos and the Dallas Cowboys. The Bills and Reed turned out to be a perfect match, however. He found great success on the field with the team. During his 15 seasons with the Bills, Reed went to seven consecutive Pro-Bowls, four consecutive Super Bowls and was twice named to the Associated Press All-Pro Second Team. He earned all of that by catching 951 passes for

a total of 13,198 yards and scoring 87 touchdowns throughout his 234 career games. Summoning his quarterback days at Dieruff Reed also ran the ball in the NFL as he amassed 500 rushing yards and one touchdown on 75 career carries. The former-Bill was also briefly a member of the Denver Broncos, although he never played a down for them and then finished out his last season as a member of the Washington Redskins. Reed, the Lehigh Valley native and Kutztown alumni, left his mark on NFL history. His 951 total receptions are currently-11th all-time in league history, according to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His 27 Super Bowl catches rank second behind the great Jerry Rice and his number of 234 games played is currently the 75th most games played by any player in NFL history. Arguably, his most lasting impression is his role in what is referred to as “The Comeback.” In a playoff game against the Houston Oilers on January 3, 1993, the Bills were losing 35-3 at halftime. In the second half, behind eight catches for 136 total yards with three touchdowns courtesy of Reed, the Bills staged the greatest comeback in NFL history and defeated the Oilers by a score of 41-38 in overtime.

professional football is mesmerizing to many, including Reed. Working hard was the defining factor. “Work ethic is 99 percent of being a good player,” Reed stated. “You got to be able to put the work in. There are a lot of athletes that overachieve and under-achieve. There are guys you see that surprise you with what they do because they aren’t as talented. But since they have worked harder than the people more talented than them they achieve more. I tell college players that to take the step to the next level you need to realize what is expected of you. You need people around you to be grounded and if you are an overall positive person you will be successful no matter what you are doing.” From J. Birney Crum Stadium in Allentown, to University Field in Kutztown, to the bright lights of NFL stadiums all across America, Andre Reed worked hard. His determination and motivation propelled him to new heights no matter what level he competed in. As he reiterated last week with many young, budding athletes scampering around a well-lit gym at the Boys & Girls Club in Allentown, “People are blessed with talent. However, it is what those people do with that talent that decides if they are successful or not.”
