Northampton Mayor Thomas D. Reenock proclaimed April 21 as “Power Talk 21 Day” in the borough. This is the official day for parents to talk to their children about alcohol.

“I encourage all citizens of Northampton and surrounding communities to join me and help to end underage drinking and its often deadly consequences,” he said. “The only way to accomplish it is to start talking early, and talk often, with the children about this topic, an ongoing conversation that can, and will, save lives.”
