No Summer Basketball in Bethlehem?

Larry Kisslinger, a former member of Bethlehem City Council, has warned that the City may have no Summer basketball this year. It's not a lack of money, but a lack of interest. As someone who remembers seeing those courts packed every day, I'm at a loss understanding this change in attitude. Anyway, here's Larry's letter.

"This is a friendly reminder that there will be NO Bethlehem City Recreation Summer Basketball League this season UNLESS a few more teams sign up very soon! It would be the first time in my memory that such a lack of interest would exist. The League is one of many fine City Recreation Programs. Public participation is important to maintain these programs.

"Therefore, if you, or anyone you know, has interest in this year's Recreation Summer Basketball League as a player, coach, sponsor and/or even a fan, please call the Recreation office at 610-865-7081 for full details or with any questions.

"Maybe you will use or pass this information on to others as a "last call" to save the Summer Basketball League. If this does not happen, I'm concerned the City will not attempt to form a Summer Basketball League in the future.

"Again, Recreation Phone is 610-865-7081 if you want to voice your opinion or enter a team. Contact information is available for previous year's teams who have already been contacted several time to no avail. Curious, why the lack of interest? No players, coaches, sponsors, other?"

    I'm old but know my opinion still counts and so does everybody else's! 5:09 PM has every right to anonymously opine and provide living proof there are more horses asses in the world than horses.

    Bernie, Thanks for mentioning the recreation program issue that boring horses ass find boring. Guess 5:09 PM has a more interesting life going on and might even want to share with the rest of us? Fat chance, I figure.

    Larry is the league for city kids only, or can kids from other towns play as well?

    Good question, Banker I know that some basketball programs have consolidated bc it is so hard getting court time at schools. This seems like a no-brainer.

    City residents have priority but non-residents are eligible and must pay a $15.00 fee per person.

    "kissassinger" is a legend in his own mind. he is tolerated for political reasons but no one really cares what he thinks. the jokes are endless....... but youth basketball is important - at least to tall people

    Asshole, Youth basketball is important bc sports keeps kids out of trouble. But go ahead and anonymously mock Kisslinger like the little pussy you are.
