((Rising Stars Sports and Adventure Camp is a perfect setting for a football camp where kids and counselors have tons of fun. ((:)) ((:)) ((:))
To the rescue, NOT a lightning fast running back for the New York Giants, or an agile, hostile defensive back for the Tampa Bay Buccanneers, or even a 300 pound goliath of a lineman for the New York Jets...instead....try a 110 pound beauty with a two ton heart. ((:)) ((:))
Ginny Barber, Tiki's wife, has joined Megan Derey, and few other players girlfriends and moms this week to help make some bruises go away, and keep kids thirst quenched. ((:))
After bruises go away...and bellies are full of water, it's time for more football..or the tackle the coach drill.

The camp also welcomed yet another NFL player to town today. New York Jets guard Doug Karczewski, a six-five 300 pounder from UVa who is getting set for his second year in the league, missed the camp last year, but came down this week after being invited by fellow counselor Walt Derey.

And finally tonight...authorities are having a "bear' of a time trying to capture a wild animal on the loose, and that's our video of the day.

It's a black bear weighing more than 2-hundred pounds.
It's believed the bear lost its mother and is looking for a new place to roam.
Helicopters caught pictures of the bear roaming around the suburbs of Philadelphia- but wild life officials have yet to nab the animal.
Authorities have warned residents to stay indoors.
Once the bear is caught it'll be sent back to New Jersey- that's where it's believed the bear is from.
