Tomblin signs Feed to Achieve at Berkeley Heights
May 9, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Happy, hopeful faces told the story Wednesday morning at Berkeley Heights Elementary School, when local officials, educators and students watched as Gov....
"it is important that schools provide nutritious meals without a risk to students of being stigmatized as poor." This is quoted straight from the bill, guess what, free lunch or not everyone knows who the poor kids are.... BTW I thought the one percent were not paying their fair share and now their kids get free lunch too??

I would like a refund for what I paid for three kids times 12 years each. This is ridiculous. So once again, a certain segment of the population refuses to pay, would rather buy cigs and beer, or simply will not work to ensure their family can sustain their life and those of us who do work every day, budget our money and make sure all family bases are covered will now fund these low life's thru our tax dollars. What another societal tragedy and freebie for those who know the govt will take care of them when they don't comply.

@Patriot, the segment of the population you are talking about already receives free or reduced lunch. These families also receive food stamps and/or WIC so they are not starving! I want to know where the lunch billing employees will work now that the program is free to all. How many people are going to lose their jobs?

Majoritarian you appear to be an enlighten and compassionate man depite your cynicism and pessimism. So instead of nay saying, let's hear what your suggestion would be in this matter? Oh and can you do it without a sarcastic overtone?

Patriot2192 I would also like a refund from those who worked and paid into Social Security and Medicare. Shouldn't workers only get the benefit of what was paid in and a little interest? Or do you think workers should get more? It is apparent most people get more out of Social Security and Medicare than they would ever pay in....so let's ask for a refund for that too!

How about those of us that don't have children. We have been paying and will continue to pay for your free ride. You know what, pay for your own children's education or don't have them!!! Step up and take responsibility for something.

I have 3 kids in school and I think this is absurd. "if it ain't broke, fix it til it is"

I feel that this is way to liberal. Their is no incentive left for those who are setting on their backsides to get off of them and go to work. I have lived here and paid taxes for over 30+ years. I feel its time for my wife and I to say good bye to family, pack up and move on. We worked hard and every year we pay for that hard work by paying far more than a fair share of taxes for that hard work, even though we are retired. Disgusted democrat!

I cannot in good faith support this new law. The old saying comes to mind, there truly IS no such thing as a free lunch. That said I completely supported the free lunch programs that were in place before, as they were targeted at those who needed it. I'd rather they took the resources that will be used with the new law and used them to better help those who truly needed it. My son will be in public school one day, and I can pay for his lunch so I should be required to do so.
For those without children who don't think they should have to pay for public education, every day you reap the benefits of public education and you don't even think about it. The clerk at the store wouldn't know how to count without it; your nurse/lawyer/dentist/pharmacist/contractor probably went to public school; as did the majority of people you see every day. Public school benefits society, and as much as you might not like it, you ARE a part of society.

So let me understand this...many of you are suggesting that if the parents don't send breakfast and lunch with their children, then what, we fine the parents and then if they don't pay fines we jail them. Oh and who is supposed to monitor and track all of the paying and non-paying parents...law enforcement? Courts? BOE? I know we just let the kids go hungry, moan and groan, do poorly in class...well they get what they deserve...right? Anybody have any better ideas?

How about some free government cheese to go with all of your "whining". And from the grammar in some of these comments, I can see that you must have been one of those hungry kids in school whos' learning was affected.

Help the needy with free or reduced prices on lunches/breakfasts? Sure. Give food away to every public school student? No. That is silly. Help those who need help... The rest of us will pay for our children's meals or pack a nutritious (and inexpensive) lunch.
"...it is important that schools provide nutritious meals without a risk to students of being stigmatized as poor..." is one of the silliest rationales for a Government giveaway program ever.

He said those who wouldn't eat, now will...What? Tie 'em down and force feed them with belly tubes?
Why are these kids hungry; because, probably they have parents who are lazy and have become gov't wards...Section 8 Housing, debit welfare cards, free cell phones, free gas to the medical clinic - why should they work. Next, the state will send surrogate parents to the house to make sure these kids are tucked in bed [while their parents are smoking their "stuff" and needling up.
Look at the pic, with an innocent little black kid used as his "prop" to escalate his Socialist ideology.

"Kids are obese in our socity, not starving. Try again."
Technically, no; but you can be both obese and malnourished. We are propably one of the "pioneers" in this exercise though, not an example of American exceptionalism that we should be proud of.

It's not really a tough concept for anyone with a couple of brain cells to rub together. Allow me to explain in terms you may understand. Obesity is caused by fat, fat is caused by calories, and the cheap, readily available food that we as a nation primarily eat is packed with these. Malnutrition is caused by a lack of nutrients like vitamins, minerals, proteins and things of that nature. The cheap food that we eat is seriously lacking in most or all of these categories. Hence, we get citizens who are both obese and malnourished.

First of NOBODY is stigmatized in WV for being poor. Kids that receive free or reduced lunch are assigned a lunch # just like all of the other kids. They give the lunch lady their # and they are given lunch. Nobody knows who gets free or reduced lunch unless that child tells people that he gets it. This was just a convenient excuse made up to make it look like this is a good bill. I agree with Patriot2192 I want a refund of the 12 years of lunches x 3 kids that I paid for. I figure it was about $1,200.00 at least. People are so gullible and stupid. There is no reason why any child in WV would be starving. These parents that don't feel their children, were already receiving free breakfast, free lunch and backpacks of food being sent home for the weekend. This should be repealed!

If they can sing it here, they can probably sing it almost anywhere.
Dozens, if not hundreds, of singers lined up Saturday between sections 108 and 114 at Coca Cola Field to pitch their pipes for a place on the Buffalo Bisons' list of auxiliary national anthem performers for the coming season.
Also on hand: a busy grounds crew running lawn mowers and leaf blowers in the background, getting the diamond ready for Thursday's opener against the Rochester Red Wings.
Over the whirrs and roars of the machinery, the singers soldiered on.
Jen Dix and Rachel Trillizio came together to try out for the first time. "I always wanted to do this," said Trillizio, a music teacher. "I've performed the anthem in Ohio, but never anywhere this big."
Dix, who hit all the highs of "the land of the free" with no problem, said she practiced for about a half-hour before coming to the ballpark. When not belting out Francis Scott Key, she said, she sings with the group Almost Ready and with the Patsy Silver Variety Show.
The open auditions are held every year before the official start of baseball season.
"We have our usual rotation of singers," said Brad Bisbing, Bisons' director of public relations. "But with 72 games this year, we'll need other singers to fill in for some of the games."
Unlike a few of the singers who carried lyric sheets with them for "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "O Canada" (most were asked to sing at least part of both), Vonn Dudek sang with no "cheat sheet." He probably had to; since he is only 5 years old, memorizing is easier than reading. Vonn said he likes to go to baseball games and that his favorite regular anthem singer is Doug Allen.
The sunny weather made waits of more than hour easier for those in line, who developed a respectful camaraderie, applauding those ahead of them when they finished and being understandably sympathetic for those whose renditions were supplemented by sirens or revving engines from the street outside the park.
After the grounds work was done, the biggest challenge for those holding the mic likely was the 2- or 3-second delay between what they were singing and the sound coming from the stadium's loudspeakers. Savvy hopefuls brought earplugs to mute the distraction.
Mac Sabol of Snyder, a member of the Friends of Harmony barbershop quartet, brought a pitch pipe to keep on key for the two songs. Evan Waggoner, 11, had his opening notes programmed into his smartphone. Evan said he had practiced for about a week before coming out for his first audition Saturday.
Johnal, a local R&B singer, was encouraged to try out by one of his co-workers, who came along for support. "It's a good opportunity to give back to the community," Johnal said, "and what better way to sing in front of thousands of people?"
He mentioned he had taken part in the Atlanta Idol competition; coincidentally, right behind him in line was Jessica Miller, 14, who said she came in third when she competed in the Niagara Teen Idol singing contest. Jessica said she has always liked to sing but just started pursuing it seriously in the past year.
Bisbing said there isn't a set number of spaces available for anthem singers, but those who make the cut will hear from the team in the next week or two.

Take a thoughtful idea, mix in patriotism and volunteer spirit, and bake 1,400 cookies for U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
That was the recipe on Sunday as about a dozen volunteers gathered at Amaretto Bistro on Transit Road in Amherst to show appreciation for Americans serving their country far from home.
Paula Ruberto has a nephew, Dan Warner, serving in the Army in Afghanistan. Members of her family take turns sending him packages to ensure he receives something each week. "My nephew was saying a lot of the guys that are (serving under) him don't get packages," often because they have young families who cannot afford to send them, Ruberto said.
An idea was born: Why not send cookies to share with even more soldiers? Ruberto posted a request on Facebook for access to a kitchen at a fire hall or VFW hall for the baking.
Others with loved ones serving in Afghanistan joined in, eager to help with the cookie project. Richard Semonian, owner of Amaretto Bistro, agreed to provide the kitchen, since his restaurant is closed on Sundays. Many of his own family members were in the service.
The volunteers spent about five hours baking 1,400 chocolate chip cookies, not counting the preparation time leading up to Sunday. They plan to ship the cookies this week; they are looking into whether they can get them flown from the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station as one option. The cookies are expected to go to at least three different forward operating bases.
There is a strong local connection to the volunteer effort. Warner is a first lieutenant, as are two of his fellow graduates of the class of 2006 at St. Mary's High School in Lancaster: Eric Kufel and Matt Walter, both of whom have been stationed in Afghanistan.
Ruberto said she was touched by how many people turned out to help on Sunday. "I think we started something we didn't even know we were starting."
And she said Semonian went "above and beyond" with his contribution, even cooking lunch for the volunteers.
Semonian was just glad to help. "It's a great thing. When those guys are over there working for us over here, anything we can do to brighten their day is a treat," he said.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic intestinal disorder causing abdominal pain, cramping, gas, and bloating, in addition to bouts of
. IBS does not cause inflammation or permanent harm, nor does it progress to more serious conditions. It can, nevertheless, be very distressing. Past names for this disorder include colitis, mucous colitis, spastic colon, spastic bowel, and functional bowel disease.

The exact cause of IBS is not known. There may be several causes, and IBS may itself be a collection of different conditions, each having a different cause. IBS is placed in a class of diseases known as "functional disorders," a term that means no structural, biochemical, or infectious cause has yet been found.
Possible triggers for IBS include:
IBS afflicts 10%-20% of American adults, generating over 3 million yearly visits to physicians and comprising a quarter to a half of all visits to gastroenterologists. Over 60% of people with IBS are women.

The nation's highest court handed down a decision that allows airlines to dump frequent fliers if they get on the airlines' nerves. And a new study shows Americans could save billions of dollars through kill switches on their cellphones. Airlines can dump frequent fliers The U.S. Supreme Court made it official this week: The airlines can clip your frequent flier membership if you complain too much. The case involved a Minnesotan rabbi who filed a $5-million lawsuit against Northwest Airlines claiming it kicked him out of its elite travel program, WorldPerks, as a cost-cutting measure. The airline argued it had the right to terminate anyone's membership if they abused it. The airline noted the rabbi lodged 24 complaints in eight months and received nearly $1,900 in travel credit and more than 78,000 bonus miles for compensation. The high court finally ended the five-year legal battle and ruled in favor of the airline. 60 percent of tax returns are filed The tax season is in its final stretch, and the IRS is churning out refunds slightly bigger than last year's. The agency has paid out for 73 million refunds so far (averaging $2,831 each) - a 1.5 percent increase in returns from last year's batch. The IRS has received 60 percent of the 148 million tax returns it expects to process this year. Phone kill switch saves money Smartphone manufacturers could save Americans billions of dollars a year if they enabled a "kill switch" on their phones. A new study out of Creighton University looked into the technology that remotely makes a stolen smartphone useless. Researchers said Americans spend $580 million every year replacing stolen phones. The researchers also found a kill switch could save consumers $2 billion a year by eliminating premium phone insurance plans from their mobile carriers. Law enforcers and lawmakers are pressuring cellphone carriers to adopt kill switches to combat the increasing numbers of smartphone thefts.%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D159560%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

Yeah I definitely see him going for more in a couple years, Montreal could have saved themselves some cash by signing him long term.
True - however Subban was looking for big $$$ for 5 plus years.
Habs GM Bergevin was in a tough spot; do you sign Subban for long term (mind you the guy only has 2 years of experience in the NHL), or as the GM you take advantage of the fact that Subban has no arbitration rights, and work out a short term deal to see how he developes?
IMHO - this deal is for the better for both sides.

Lincoln's economy is fairly typical of a mid-sized American city; most economic activity is derived from service industries. The state government and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln are both large contributors to the local economy. Other prominent industries in Lincoln include medical, banking, information technology, education, call centers, insurance (such as Allstate Insurance subsidiary Lincoln Benefit Life), and rail and truck transport.

The Washington Redskins acquired the No. 2 overall pick in April's NFL draft on Friday from the St. Louis Rams by sending first rounders in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and a second-round pick this year to the Rams, league sources told Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer on Friday.

Being a Rams fan, this is HUGE. Hoping they can still get Blackmon with the sixth pick. Finally give their offense a much needed explosive receiver.

I'm thinking between 92-95 would be the time that would have appeared in print. Although, if you speak to Gene again just ask him, he'll tell you. In case his memory needs a little help, it was about a guy (my husband) that took a nap while he was anchored under one of the train trussels there in town by the 'airport'. We'd caught a 44"r in that very same location 3 years prior on a "yellow furry thing" (yellow bucktail) only this time he was fishing a sucker w/a bobber the size of a life jacket. SO he kicked back took a nap while I continued to fish for crappies. We got ready to leave & journey the 5 hours home and we'd hooked that poor sucker at least half a dozen times. So he jerked and jerked and tried to get it to fall off but then that sucker got hit and hit hard!! The musky finally yielded in about 10 minutes. We got her boatside and into the net when we discovered that she was never hooked!! She had grabbed hold of that sucker and was NOT going to let go. That is why she's on our wall today, she is our only fish that was never hooked!!mrbrowns wrote:I'd love to read the lazy fisherman story.

When St. Thomas More Summer Theatre Magic was launched as a charitable outreach of the St. Thomas More Adult Choir in 1999, the response was overwhelmingly positive to its production of "Man of La Mancha." It was enough to make the summer theater an ongoing charitable venture, with full support from its pastor, the Rev. Msgr. John P. Murphy. Since then, nearly $350,000 has been raised for local charities in the Lehigh Valley, with its mission of raising funds through quality family entertainment. This year will be no different, as Summer Theatre Magic presents "Seussical the Musical," Aug. 15-18, to benefit Mary's Shelter, The Cay Galgon Center, in Bethlehem. The charity serves homeless pregnant women in the Lehigh Valley.
During the summer months, Natalie Seng Pionegro, artistic director and managing director of Summer Theatre Magic, witnesses all ages willingly give of their time and talents in providing entertainment for the entire family. Productions are held in the parish's air-conditioned gymnasium, 1040 Flexer Ave., Allentown, Salisbury Twp., Lehigh Co. Year-round, Pionegro is director of music and liturgy for St. Thomas More Parish/School and maintains strong relationships with those she serves.
In some cases, she said there are generations of a family who have enjoyed working together on past productions of "The Wizard of Oz," "Camelot," "Peter Pan," "Fiddler on the Roof," "Oliver!" "The Music Man," "Brigadoon," "Godspell," "Annie," and "Bye Bye Birdie."
Parishioner Tim Clark of Lower Macungie Township serves as co-director of Summer Theatre Magic. Known for his vocals, he has taken the St. Thomas stage in portraying Tevye, King Arthur, Fagin, and Sancho Panza. Clark is executive vice president of global sales and marketing at Precision Medical.
Summer Theatre Magic conductor is Nancy Schwartz, a customer support service analyst with St. Luke's University Hospital. Lighting designer is John Musarra, who has worked with Disney on Ice and Cirque de Soleil productions.
The cast of "Seussical the Musical" includes Nick Nelson as The Cat in the Hat, John Monahan as Horton the Elephant, Sofia Groves as Boy/JoJo, Dr. Maryann Hartzell-Sado as Mayzie LaBird, Emily Hausmann as Sour Kangaroo, Crystal Husser as Gertrude McFuzz, Dave Swaintek as The Mayor, Elizabeth Schaub as The Mayor's Wife, and Dr. Tom Koch as General Genghis Khan Schmidt.
"Seussical," a musical by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, made its Broadway debut in 2000. It is based on many of Seuss's most famous books, with the plot mirroring "Horton Hears a Who!" and Horton's efforts to protect the people of Who-ville who reside on a tiny speck of dust on a clover.
"The dialogue of 'Seussical' fits this year's charity," Clark said, "…about being lost, trying to find yourself. It's Horton the Elephant who cares about a baby coming into the world. It's Horton guarding Who-ville and believing 'a person's a person, no matter how small.' "
Pionegro said the challenge of "Seussical" is in the diction and "sing-song" delivery of the music. "It's the Dr. Seuss rhyme, and people have to get the story," she said. Songs that touch her heart, she said, are "Solla Sollew," "How Lucky You Are," and "Alone in the Universe."
Bill Bauman is costumer for Summer Theatre Magic. He also costumes Pa. Youth Theatre in Bethlehem and is involved with the Moravian College Theatre Company. Bauman is business manager for Moravian's music department.
He described "enhanced clothing" for the "Seussical" cast of nearly 70. "They'll be very colorful and very cartoon-y, as the musical involves little side stories in locations of the Dr. Seuss mind," he added.
Former Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus clowns, Jim and Barbara Vogelgesang of Kempton, Berks Co., have been leading the children who appear in "Seussical's" Circus McGurkus scene through a series of exercises in juggling, spinning, tumbling, and even walking on stilts. They also rehearse ribbon dancing and how to form a human pyramid.
"They're an amazing group, quick learners," Barbara Vogelgesang said of her young students. "We like passing on the skills."
The Vogelgesangs conducted a Clowning and Comedy Camp for Pa. Youth Theatre earlier this month for students in grades 3-12. (To learn more on this talented couple, see Arts Roundup below).
"Production costs are offset by the sponsorship donations of generous friends of the summer theater," Pionegro said, "allowing us to funnel every cent of profit from ticket sales to the designated charity. Each year's proceeds provide assistance to our brothers and sisters around the Lehigh Valley."
She added that ground was broken in the fall of 2001 for a home to be built from the proceeds generated by that year's production and channeled through Habitat for Humanity, and that completed house has now been home to an Allentown family for more than a decade.

Jim and Barbara Vogelgesang happened to be driving through the Berks County area some 22 years ago while touring with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus as professional clowns. They liked what they saw, recalled Barbara – wide open land that had a peace about it. It was a quiet place apart from a hectic touring schedule to settle and raise a family.
The Vogelgesangs have four children: Nicholas, 20; Libby, 19; Sarah, 12 and Alex, 11, all of whom were or are currently being homeschooled and all of whom have clowned.
"It was easier to dress them and bring them along with us on the road rather than arrange for babysitting," Barbara said. "They all know circus skills like juggling and riding a unicycle."
Barbara, who hails from New York City and Jim, from Lima, Ohio, met while Barbara was doing public relations in New York when the Ringling Bros. Circus came to Madison Square Garden. Part of her special-event promotion involved the circus animals coming through the Midtown Tunnel to the Garden venue. Jim was already a Ringling Bros. clown who taught at Clown College in Venice, Fla. It wasn't long before the two got together and Barbara was headed for a clowning role. With the circus, they have toured the United States, Canada and Japan. They marked their 25th wedding anniversary last December.
No longer with Ringling Bros., the Vogelgesangs perform as "Mr. and Mrs. Bumble" and mostly for corporate parties and community events. Their two younger children are involved with Pa. Youth Theatre, where Barbara helps with costumes. She also is involved in Touchstone Theatre's Young Playwrights program in Allentown and Bethlehem schools.
As a clown, Barbara said she looks at life "a little different. You find humor. You're a little more sensitive to how people feel about things." In teaching comedy, "It's getting people to laugh together, not at each other. …Children are amazed at how much they can learn. Every child can do something. They believe if you believe."

LAKE TAHOE — Runners and hikers from all over the world have come to Tahoe to experience the challenge and beauty of the Tahoe Rim Trail. On Monday morning, four ultrarunners set out to tackle the entire 165 miles at once. They left Tahoe City at 5:30 a.m. and headed clockwise for a lap around the lake. They were by no means the first to set this goal, but their plan to work together to set a new speed record for the trail was unique.
The speed record for the TRT was set by Spain's Kilian Jornet in 2009 when he was just 22. Jornet's resume includes wins at some of the world's most competitive mountain races, including the Western States 100, and is considered by many to be the best mountain runner on the trails today. Certainly taking down any record set by Jornet would be a task as big as the mountains the group planned to run through.
The four men were organized and led by Gary Gellin of Menlo Park. Gellin, along with Adam Hewey, Ben Lewis and Victor Ballesteros, can all claim numerous 100 mile races to their credit, but none had ever attempted a run this far.
How did this group plan to finish the trail faster than Kilian Jornet? Gellin felt their advantages lay not in running faster, but in being more efficient.
"Kilian slept for at least an hour, and he also got lost for about 45 minutes," Gellin said.
He also planned on doing very little stopping. He spent hours organizing a team of experienced pacers and crew members that planned to give the group "NASCAR-style pit crewing," Gellin said. Their plan called for stops of only 1-2 minutes at each of 12 aid stations.
Pacers — additional runners who joined the core group for 15-20 miles at a time — were employed simply for the purpose of safety, ensuring no runner would travel the trail alone. If any runner in the group fell off the pace, one of three pacers would stay with him so that he could continue running without compromising the speed of the entire group. Pacers already knew who would go ahead with the leaders and who would be the first to stay back with struggling runners.
"We won't have time to stop and have a pow-wow about what to do if someone is slowing down," Gellin said on Saturday.
In addition to being incredibly organized, Gellin has done his homework on the Tahoe Rim Trail and on what it takes to finish the entire thing. He spent time traveling every mile of the trail himself, and completed a practice run of 66 miles on it in June at his planned pace of about 13 minutes per mile. He also sought advice from the experts, getting help from Jornet, former record holder Tim Twietmeyer, and ultra distance legend David Horton.
Homework and planning are paramount to success in an endeavor such as this. However, when running 165 miles, one thing you can almost certainly count on — things won't all go according to plan.
After running through the beautiful and rugged Desolation Wilderness, Adam Hewey was not able to keep food down and was forced to give up the run at Echo Lakes, 47 miles into the trail. Ben Lewis suffered a similar fate at mile 65.
Two runners, Gellen and Victor Ballesteros, continued on through the dark Monday night. They began to separate with slightly different running paces, but each runner was accompanied by a pacer.
Then came the next kink in the plan for each of them.
Gellin had been suffering minor knee pain incurred during a 50 mile race two weeks earlier. The pain fluctuated throughout the run, but finally flared up and turned his run into a painful hobble. He spent several hours walking before calling an end to things at mile 79.
Ballesteros and his pacer made a wrong turn, heading down the trail known to mountain bikers as "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride," and ending up on the streets of South Lake Tahoe. Frustration and disappointment urged him to quit, but friends and his wife, who were all part of his crew, found him and gently encouraged him to continue. After accepting the fate of his ten mile detour, he retraced his steps back to the Rim Trail and continued on, the last of the four runners still on trail.
Gellin, Lewis, Hewey, their families, and numerous friends were all gathered at Tahoe Meadows Tuesday evening to offer aid and support to Ballesteros who arrived there, mile 126, looking strong, eating well, and in good spirits.
"It's bittersweet," admitted Gellin, of the way his own run turned out, "but I feel like there were a lot of positives, and that's what I can take away. I enjoyed the 'mini event' aspect, and appreciated the support of so many people."
Gellin felt that the record, while extremely stout, is still possible with "all systems go." In other words, with no kinks in the plan.
Does he intend to try it again?
"Maybe." He shrugged. "In ten years or something."
His wife and crew chief, Holly, interrupted with her own emphatic response. "No!"
One thing is clear, in spite of not completing the entire 165 mile distance, the three runners have no regrets about their attempt, and they are excited about the effort of Ballesteros. As of Wednesday morning, he was still out on the trail, feeling sleepy but moving well. He was projected to finish around 10 a.m., and his entire team will be there to congratulate him on his journey.

Autopsy today for woman found burned beyond recognition in Salisbury
A gruesome scene awaited investigators Thursday morning in Lehigh County. A woman was found dead and burned beyond recognition on the side of a road in Salisbury Township. Now authorities are trying to learn more about the victim and what happened to her.
Folks living on Chestnut Hill Road were shocked to learn why their street was lined with police.
"My sister called and said that there was a body up around the corner here," explained Tim Bollinger.
"This is definitely out of the ordinary for us," added Elisse Cassick.
The Lehigh County Coroner says Thursday morning a call came in for a body on fire. When officers got on scene they discovered a woman's body burned on the side of Chestnut Hill Road, that's near the Unami Fish and Game Club.
"Her body was burned beyond recognition," explained Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim.
He says the victim is between 20 and 40 years old, and is either white or a light skinned Hispanic woman. Officials are calling it a suspicious death. For hours Thursday the coroner's office, Salisbury Township police and state police poured over the scene. They left around 3PM and our cameras got a little closer. Just off the road we found burned trees and a blackened guardrail.
"It's unsettling," said Cassick. "I'll be happier when I at least know what happened."
"You just don't want to see the coroner in your neighborhood," explained Bollinger. "They do an important job, I just don't want to see it happen here."
An autopsy is scheduled for Friday morning to figure out the cause of death.
Because of how badly the body was burned the coroner is still working to ID the woman.

Thursday night's performance at the Republican National Convention in Tampa was a first – and a tricky one – for American Idol singer Taylor Hicks.
He was opening for some very tough acts to follow: surprise guest speaker Clint Eastwood and presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
"I've worked many stages in my life, but never, ever have I had to weave in and out of a lectern," Hicks, 35, told PEOPLE while laughing and downing a draft beer at the bustling CNN Grill after the convention adjourned. "And the Teleprompter was definitely a stage hazard – having to dance with that thing."
Hicks, sporting an American flag scarf by John Varvatos, was actually coy about his own political party allegiance, saying only, "I'm gonna go old-fashioned and not disclose my vote."
But snapping celebrity photo-ops on his iPhone – including one in which Oscar winner Jon Voight had Hicks in a playful headlock, and another of the Soul Patrol singer backstage with Eastwood – did decidedly cast Hicks in the role of a fan.
Said the singer: "I never thought in a million years I would open for Clint Eastwood and Mitt Romney!"
The Democratic National Convention will be held next week in Charlotte, N.C.

A Buffalo man will spend up to a year in jail for attacking a woman on the Kensington Expressway, Cheektowaga police announced Tuesday.
Rafael A. Martinez, 56, who pleaded guilty to strangulation and obstruction of breathing, was sentenced Monday by Town Justice Paul Piotrowski.
According to police, Martinez was riding in a car driven by his 48-year-old girlfriend last December. Martinez pressed on the accelerator with his hand, causing the vehicle to speed up, but the 48-year-old woman put the car in neutral and managed to stop it on the Thruway overpass.
When the car stopped, Martinez used a scarf to choke her until she almost lost consciousness, police said. She managed to get out of the car and tried to call police, but Martinez jumped on top of her and tried to throw her into traffic, then over the guard rail.
Cheektowaga Officers William Cookfair and Mark Fatta arrived and arrested Martinez, who originally was charged with strangulation, assault, criminal mischief and reckless endangerment.

BALTIMORE - The Steelers are now a desperate 5-7 team.
They need to keep playing like one, especially on offense, just like they did in the second half of Thursday night's 22-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.
The Steelers failed to convert a two-point conversion at the end of their Thanksgiving night game, but they really lost the contest in the first half when their offense played like it had no sense of urgency.
The Ravens came out throwing the ball with two deep passes on their first possession. One of them connected for a 54-yard gain to help put Baltimore up 7-0.
The Ravens attempted three more deep balls in the second quarter, one resulted in a 26-yard interference penalty on the Steelers' Ike Taylor that set up a field goal. Baltimore gained a 10-0 halftime lead, while the Steelers attempted just one official deep pass - an incompletion to Antonio Brown - in the first half.
Deep throws can help keep an opposing defense honest, even if they aren't completed.
"[The play calling] was a coach [Mike] Tomlin, [offensive coordinator] coach Haley decision, and [they] ask me what I think - kind of a brain trust decision,'' Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said after the game. "At times, it was hard to do the things we wanted to do. We did it late, maybe we should have done it earlier. Maybe I should have voiced that more.''
The Ravens attempted three more deep balls in the third quarter to Pittsburgh's one and held a 16-7 advantage heading to the fourth quarter. The Steelers then threw six long-range passes in the final quarter, scored on both of their possessions and nearly sent the game into overtime.
"It was a sense of urgency - a need to get it done,'' Roethlisberger said. "We did well, but it was a little too late.''
The Steelers can't afford another conservative offensive performance like they did in the first half against the Ravens, when they ran Le'Veon Bell into the line on first-and-10, second-and-10 and third-and-12 to start the game. Bell also ran two straight times for 4 yards to start their next possession.
Part of the strategy was to keep the Ravens' pass rush from dominating the game against a Steelers offensive line that was somewhat overmatched to begin with, then started losing some of its players to injuries during the game.
But that's no excuse to go ultraconservative in what was their biggest game of the season. It was almost like they were playing scared.
"I thought we took some chances [late in the game] with a couple of deep balls and got a couple of holding penalties down the field,'' Roethlisberger said. "We had some missed opportunities, some throws I need to make. But that's the way it goes. You're never going to play a perfect game.''
The Steelers need to be perfect in the win-loss column over the next four weeks if they want a chance at the postseason this year. The schedule isn't overbearing - three of the four remaining games are at Heinz Field - but another offensive performance like the first half on Thursday, and the season will be officially finished.
"I don't expect any quit,'' Roethlisberger said. "I know what I'm going to do, I'm going to fight my butt off all the way to the end.''
It isn't necessarily time to "unleash Hell,'' as Tomlin said during the 2009 season, but it is time to take some chances.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mark Great Pullover This was for my 13 year old daughter. She is often cold during the summer due to the AC being cranked up in establishments. She really likes the feel and look. Pockets are great for her hands too. It will be perfect for fall weather also. Looks great! June 27, 2016

BBB Watch
You are on Instagram, and you spot an account from an established business. The business is trying to get more followers by giving away a prize. Soon after following the "business," you start getting messages asking you to click on a suspicious link or share personal information. It can be tough to tell a real account from a fraud, but key warnings are the business using stock photos, asking for a password or the business having "free" or "giveaway" in its name.

2nd shortest player in NBA history. The only player taller than him is Muggsy Bogues, who was 5'3". Known for his speed, quick shooting, and tenacious defense he is one of my favorite players. If he was 6'6" he be a superstar.
Don't even bother trying to stop Earl Boykins in transition, he'll just breeze right by you and hit a layup

A midget professional basketball player at 5'5" the only reason he's in the NBA is because he's faster than everyone and can make shots, also the team he plays on gets more ticket sells because people love watching a 5'5" guy guard tall point guards.
Earl Boykins is guarding Lebron James? That's a 15 inch difference.

And just like that, it's over. Years of acrimonious accusation, nonpayment of revenues and stubborn refusal came to a sudden and fair end on Thursday when Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and Seneca Nation President Barry Snyder settled their differences over casino gaming in Western New York.
With their agreement, the financial gun aimed in Niagara Falls was lowered and the threat to the Senecas' monopoly on big-time casino gambling was resolved. Everyone came out a winner, especially Cuomo, who showed he knows how to play a hand.
Peace Bridge worriers, take note.
The past few years have been desperate times in Niagara Falls, which, by hosting the Seneca Niagara Casino within its borders, was due a share of the casino's slot machine revenues.
The Senecas had been withholding payments due the state, which in turn was supposed to pay the city, over the state's approval of gambling at racetracks in Hamburg, Batavia and Canandaigua.
The Senecas said those racinos violated the exclusivity zone provided by the 2002 compact signed by the state and the Senecas. On Thursday, Cuomo acknowledged the obvious and agreed that the Senecas' point was "legitimate."
With Thursday's agreement, and assuming approval by Seneca Nation's council, Niagara Falls will reap a windfall of $89 million in delayed payments. The two other cities hosting Seneca casinos, Buffalo and Salamanca, will receive $15.5 million and $34.5 million, respectively. It's not found money, but revenue these municipalities were owed and upon which they had counted.
That is especially true for the struggling City of Niagara Falls, which had cut back road paving, saw its credit rating lowered twice and faced the possibility of running out of money before the end of this year. The infusion of $89 million will help, but the city shouldn't set off on a spending spree. The Falls still faces serious budget problems.
With the deal, Cuomo has withdrawn his threat to locate another casino in Western New York, quite possibly in Niagara Falls. He is also accepting $209.8 million less than the Senecas actually owed the state, presumably as penance for the state's having encroached on the Senecas' exclusivity zone. New limits will be placed on the games offered at the three racetrack slot parlors, and on their signage and marketing.
The deal could also benefit all Western New York counties. If the state approves a referendum allowing for expansion of casino gambling in areas of the state not covered by contracts with Indian nations, then the state will forgo its take from the three Western New York casinos, and divide that up among the counties. Niagara Falls, Buffalo and Salamanca would continue to receive their full share of revenues.
This came together now because of the pressure of a looming deadline. The end of the current session of the New York State Legislature arrives on Thursday and, by then, Albany could have authorized a new casino in Western New York, a casino that would have seriously cut into the huge profits from the Seneca Niagara Casino. With that threat (which may have been a gambler's bluff by Cuomo; we're sure he'll never tell), it became time to be serious.
Is something similar happening with the dispute over the Peace Bridge Authority? It's hard not to see the parallels. As with the casino standoff, Cuomo now has leverage: legislation that could abolish the authority if he signs it.
How that dispute will be resolved – or if it will be resolved – remains unknown, but Cuomo's agreement with the Senecas shows that even with leverage, the facts make a difference and that he is open to a fair resolution. Here's hoping one is in the offing.

Heartburn/GERD Health Center
Combination Drug Therapy for Peptic Ulcer Disease
Combination drug therapy regimens
Combination drug therapy regimens commonly used to treat an H. pylori infection include the following options:
- A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) plusclarithromycinplusamoxicillin or metronidazole
- A proton pump inhibitor plus a bismuth compound plus metronidazole plustetracycline
Some examples of antibiotics used to treat H. pylori are:
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Prepackaged drug combinations
Some of the recommended drug combinations are packaged together for convenience.
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|bismuth subcitrate potassium and metronidazole and tetracycline
|bismuth subsalicylate and metronidazole and tetracycline
|lansoprazole (a PPI) and amoxicillin and clarithromycin
|omeprazole (a PPI) and amoxicillin and clarithromycin
How It Works
The right antibiotics combinations usually kill Helicobacter pyloriHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria that are the cause of many peptic ulcers. At least two antibiotics are used, because combination treatment works better and is less likely to fail because of resistance to the antibiotics.
Why It Is Used
Combination drug therapy that includes at least two antibiotics, an acid reducer, and sometimes a bismuth compound is recommended for people who have peptic ulcer disease and are known to be infected with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).
How Well It Works
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections are cured 70% to 85% of the time when the right combination drug treatment is used.1
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call911or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Headache.
- Dark-colored tongue and dark-colored stools caused by bismuth.
- Mild diarrhea.
- Mouth sores.
- Vaginal itching or discharge.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
It is very important that you take all of the medicine prescribed. Do not stop taking your medicine even if you feel better. It may seem like a lot of pills to take, but it is also important to take a regimen that contains at least three medicines to cure Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Combination regimens are the most effective way to help ensure that H. pylori bacteria do not develop resistance to the antibiotics used to treat them.
Completely avoid alcohol use (including nonprescription nighttime cold medicines, such as NyQuil) when you are taking metronidazole. Combining alcohol with this medicine may cause severe nausea and vomiting.
Tetracycline can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
- Stay out of the sun, if possible.
- Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and hats, if possible.
- Use sunscreen with an SPF that your doctor recommends.
Avoid taking milk and other dairy products, antacids, or supplements and vitamins containing iron within 2 hours of taking tetracycline.
Taking these medicines with a full glass of water can help prevent irritation of the esophagus.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
Combinations containing metronidazole or tetracycline
Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant. If you need to use this medicine, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
All other combinations
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
Some people who have been treated for H. pylori infection need follow-up testing to ensure that the infection is cured.

TAMPA, Fla. — South Carolina football players won the Outback Bowl bowling competition, whipping Michigan fair and square on "luxury lanes" in a Splitsville showdown.
Though the Gamecocks are favored in the actual football game Tuesday at Raymond James Stadium, this was an upset. Bowling is as attached to the chilly Wolverine State as white pine, cherries and whining about the Lions.
Far from Death Valley but enjoying the payoff from a 27-17 victory over Clemson, the No. 11 Gamecocks continue to benefit from some of the best senior leadership in program has ever known.
Rarely is the usually nebulous "leadership" thing so visible as in one critical minute during South Carolina's last public appearance.
As the third quarter expired Nov. 24, the Gamecocks had the ball and a 20-17 lead. During the break, South Carolina players gathered in a big circle on the field. They jumped up and down while Clemson players ambled about their sideline.
True. Four plays later, Clemson's Xavier Brewer intercepted a Dylan Thompson pass in the end zone to give the Tigers momentary momentum.
But the Gamecocks put the game away with a 7:39 touchdown drive.
Jadeveon Clowney, Dylan Thompson and Bruce Ellington were the stars at Clemson.
But 10 senior starters are 4-0 against the Tigers and big reasons why South Carolina has gone from hoping to win a bowl game to expecting to win to something near certainty.
Ten seniors
Head coach Steve Spurrier saw it earlier this season.
"As coaches, you let them know it's your team," he said. "As coaches, you're here several more years, but this is your last go-round, you're seniors. You'll remember this the rest of your life. Let's try to make it special."
Gamecocks senior starters include center T.J. Johnson, tight end Justice Cunningham, tailback Kenny Miles, defensiveend Devin Taylor, defensive tackle Byron Jerideau, linebackers Shaq Wilson, Reginald Bowens and DeVonte Holloman, cornerback Akeem Auguste and free safety D.J. Swearinger.
Clemson has nine senior starters, only one less than South Carolina.
Too often, comparisons in a counterpoint world are painted black and white. Nothing wrong with Clemson's senior leadership this year; the Tigers won 10 games and are ranked No. 14.
South Carolina's leadership has just been a little better.
Clemson comparison
"Maybe so," Clemson junior quarterback Tajh Boyd said when I asked him to make a comparison. "I can't really tell. It's just one of those deals where the defense was out there for a long time and the offense wasn't out there long enough."
Hollomon, committed to Clemson before Tommy Bowden left, notched his third career interception against the Tigers.
Clemson's longest gain in the fourth quarter was on Andre Ellington's 9-yard run and the accompanying 15-yard personal foul penalty charged to Swearinger for gloating about his thunderous hit.
No doubt, the play inspired the Gamecocks.
As Spurrier says, "(Players) will listen to a player that plays well with tremendous effort."
Let's say No. 19 Michigan makes progress Tuesday in exacting some bowling lane revenge. Look for some South Carolina senior — or several — to do something about it.

"I think both sides know what their next proposal is, it's just who wants to give it first," Alzner said. "The owners know what their bottom percentage is and I'm sure Don [Fehr] knows what's going to be a good one for us economically.
"But who's going to be the first one to bite the bullet? No one wants to lose the negotiation. We understand we're definitely not going to win it."
i bet fehr won't be happy some of his players are already admitting defeat

Theatre Arts: Auditions
UCC welcomes anyone to audition for the school year productions; priority casting is given to registered students, particularly those in the Theatre Arts program. UCC is an equal-opportunity employer; diversity and non-traditional casting are welcome. Experience is not necessary. Auditioners should become familiar with the show and create an audition around the style of that show. See each show for more details. Bring a headshot (or recent photo of yourself, from about the shoulders up) and resume that lists your performing experience. All cast members are expected to be available for all show dates, rehearsals and a post-show strike; see each show for scheduling.
2015-16 Auditions
To be announced as soon as they are scheduled ...
