📰 News we're reading
• Lehigh Valley food safety report: Chicken thawing on counter, expired food in fridge, 'black mold-like substances' (mcall.com) — Nazareth diners can see that several local spots, including Giant on Nazareth Pike, Pennsylvania Roadhouse, Prime Pizzeria, Modern Fusion Catering, Kona Ice, and Sweet Wildflowers, all passed recent state food safety inspections. The wider Lehigh Valley report also flags a few Easton and regional restaurants for issues like improper thawing and mold-like substances in ice machines, offering a useful snapshot before you eat out. 
• Jake Waters' Kase Evans comment all but solidifies Peyton Falzone's future at QB (victorybellrings.com) — A former four-star quarterback from Nazareth, Pa., Peyton Falzone now appears far more likely to see the field at tight end than under center at Penn State. With multiple higher-ranked quarterbacks ahead of him and coaches praising fellow freshman Kase Evans' progress, Falzone's future at quarterback in Happy Valley — or anywhere in college — is increasingly uncertain.
