• Eastern Pennsylvania Conference football Week 1 review: Freedom's win was as impressive as any in a 10-6 week vs. outside foes (mcall.com) — Emmaus football fans saw running back Anthony Attare rack up 89 rushing yards, two touchdowns, and 21 receiving yards in a tight 20-13 loss at Neshaminy.

• Zoning meeting on Emmaus Avenue data center in Allentown postponed (mcall.com) — A proposed data center at 2401 W. Emmaus Ave. in south Allentown, just outside Emmaus, hit a delay after a key zoning hearing was postponed at the request of both sides. A nearby children's nonprofit is appealing the city's decision that a data center is automatically allowed there, arguing it's very different from traditional manufacturing. The new hearing date has not been set.
