Arthur J. 'Red' Ritchey
Arthur J. "Red" Ritchey, 102, formerly of Huntingdon, died Tuesday afternoon at the Hollidaysburg Veterans Home, where he had been a resident since October 2010.
He was born in Saxton, son of the late John and Estella (Smith) Ritchey. He was united in marriage to Mildred I. Metz on Feb. 4, 1936, in Alexandria, and she preceded him in death on March 24, 2012.
Surviving are a daughter, Dianne (Ritchey) Stewart, a retired Juniata Valley School District teacher, and husband, Dennis Stewart, a retired Penn State administrator; and other sons and daughters: Ginger (Ritchey) English and husband, David, of Bonita Springs, Fla., Rodney L. Ritchey of Huntingdon, Carol (Ritchey) Enney and husband, Dick, of Perry, Ga., and Robert A. Ritchey and wife, Cheryl (Peightal), of Huntingdon; 12 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.
He was the last surviving member of his immediate family, having been preceded in death by eight siblings: Carl, Robert and Lawrence Ritchey, Susie Ritchey, Gladys Greenleaf, Hazel (Ritchey) Huey, Olive (Ritchey) Cornelius and Edna (Ritchey) Shore.
Red attended Saxton public schools and was a 1931 graduate of Saxton High School. He served in the U.S. Army during WWII.

Hommon American Legion Post 24, Huntingdon, Blair County Salon 8 et 40, Huntingdon, and Stone Creek Valley Lions, Huntingdon, and was a former officer in all of those organizations. He was also very active with the American Red Cross, having taught the first CPR class in Huntingdon County, and he taught the first aid class for many years. He received the American Red Cross Citizen of the Year Award in 1987. He was also a member of the former Hook & Ladder Volunteer Fire Company, Huntingdon, served with the Huntingdon Ambulance Department, served on Huntingdon Borough Council and was an honorary member of the River Hill Gun Club, Huntingdon.
He enjoyed spending time at his hunting camp, where he liked to cut wood. He also liked collecting coins and traveling in his earlier years. He was a devoted father and cherished spending time with his grandchildren.

Risk taking is essential for innovation and the starting of new companies. But is it rapidly becoming a thing of the past? An article in last week's Wall Street Journal presented disturbing evidence that a more conservative mood is overtaking American workers and businesses. Fewer people are taking risks these days, suggesting that our economy may soon not be nearly as dynamic as it has been.
From the Council's point of view, the question of risk-taking could not be more timely. This week, we convened a group of public relations professionals in Chicago for our Entrepreneur Forum. As owners of large and mid-sized businesses, these people take risks every day! I asked three participants—Nick Kalm, Founder and President of Reputation Partners; Jim Weiss, CEO and Chairman of the W2O Group; and Aaron Kwittken, CEO and Managing Partner of Kwittken & Company—for their thoughts on the role of risk-taking in public relations and their reactions to the Wall Street Journal article.
As all of our respondents observed, public relations professionals are in the business of helping clients manage risks. "Our function has the finger on the pulse of a whole range of stakeholders (employees, media, influencers, etc.)," Kalm stated. "If we're doing it right, we're closely aligned with other functions that manage risk (e.g. legal, HR)." Public relations helps organizations anticipate risks and take preventative measures to avoid them—a job getting increasingly easier thanks to big data. In our capacity as content creators, we can act provocatively, but in a way that doesn't threaten the interests of our clients. As Kwittken put it, our content is "ring-fenced to minimize liabilities while at the same time maximizing a point of view that helps clients validate their market leadership."
Our respondents were divided as to whether we've seen a decline in risk-taking within public relations. Weiss said he did not perceive a decline, noting that public relations firms "have always been involved with and instrumental to the success of the best and most innovative, ground breaking businesses, campaigns, and initiatives." Kalm perceived a definite decline owing largely to the prolonged economic downturn. In our business, "nobody wants to put a client relationship at risk, and a voluntary risk can jeopardize a client relationship faster than nearly any other factor. We as an industry have become more creative, but we don't want to lose a client or our jobs either."
Agreeing with Kalm, Kwittken cited financial services companies and the role played by regulations. "We have a 'regulation nation' environment. This has created a 'too scared to tell' storytelling environment for fear that everything we say will now be used against us. The issue has more to do with creativity and less with risk, in the traditional sense. PR people need to work on operating with a creative lens first, before they can propagate risk."
We asked our respondents what firms could do to encourage healthy risk taking. They offered guidelines that all of us can use, whether we work at a large company or at more entrepreneurial enterprises:
- Reward thoughtful risk-taking at the senior level, even with it results in failure. As Kalm noted, "You can't expect a PR firm's senior employees to take risks unless they work for organizations that not only tolerate it, but encourage it."
- Pay close attention to data. Use insights to guide risk-taking while taking care, as Jim Weiss related, "not to get stuck in analysis paralysis."
- Monitor yourself to see if you are putting up your own, internal barriers to risk-taking. Take some time to dream about what you want, but when you've thought it through enough, be sure, as Weiss put it, to "just go ahead and do things regardless of the outcome, which in many cases you can't control. The biggest risks pay off with the greatest rewards, and so far that's been true for me.
- Go beyond the "boutique" mentality. As Kwittken noted, excessive specialization "enslaves us to operate the same way every day and does not encourage innovation. At Kwittken, we are trying to create more of an inventor culture were we operate and iterate more like a software company and less like a professional services firm."
I always come away from sessions such as this week's invigorated by the bold, creative personalities I encounter. If risk-taking is generally on the decline, it's reassuring to find that in our industry it is alive and well—and pursued more thoughtfully than ever.

DETROIT, MI -- U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes on Wednesday stayed lawsuits challenging Detroit's historic bankruptcy filing.
Rhodes ruled that the federal court has full jurisdiction over the city's eligibility for bankruptcy, rejecting arguments that state courts should hear challenges to the constitutionality of the Chapter 9 filing.
He said that in past Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy cases, "it was the bankruptcy court that determined all of the eligibility issues raised by the parties."
Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr with the governor's approval filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy on July 18 after years of budget cuts, months of state intervention and weeks of negotiations with debt holders and unions failed to bring significant relief to the city's estimated $18 billion in long-term obligations.
Representatives of the city's pension systems and others have filed lawsuits seeking to halt the proceedings because the pensions of Detroit employees and retirees are expected to be at risk under bankruptcy, despite being protected by Michigan law.
An Ingham County Circuit Judge last week said the emergency manager's pursuit of bankruptcy violated pension protections in the state constitution and ordered the filing withdrawn.
The state appealed. And the city is asking Rhodes to stay the lawsuits, essentially filtering the constitutionality question into the federal court.
Lawyers for unions and pension systems argued in court Wednesday that workers and retirees making constitutional claims deserve to be heard in state court.
Attorneys for the city argued that the federal court has jurisdiction to address issues of state law and is "the only appropriate forum" for matters involving the bankruptcy to be heard.
"These litigants will have due process," said Heather Lennox, a Jones Day lawyer representing the city. "They will have their day in court. They will have these issues decided... but they will have them decided in a tribunal with proper jurisdiction."
Lennox also argued that the bankruptcy filing doesn't specifically target the pensions.
"It does not even mention what would happen to pensions in this state," she said.
But both Gov. Rick Snyder and Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr have made clear that they'll be looking to slash pensions and change retiree health benefits, which constitute a large portion of the debt that cripples Detroit's ability to provide basic services.
Snyder said last week that the pension systems are about 50 percent funded, and that the unfunded half will be vulnerable.
Detroit firefighters, meanwhile, who protested outside the courthouse Wednesday, claimed that they have estimates that indicate their pensions are 96-percent funded.

"The definition of being a modern person is to examine yourself, to reflect on yourself and to be a self-knowledgeable person."
"Yet I know that somehow I have to also free myself from the yoke of it, from the despair of it—that somehow I have to put that aside for the moment because there are indeed other parts of life and other parts of my existence that also really matter, that need to be explored, and that to a certain extent allow me to retool and face the horror of what has happened with renewed energy and renewed understanding and possibility."

With the old 'Keep enough work on disk to last between' lets say '4 and 4.5 days', to start with there would be about 4.5 days work downloaded, then when the amount of work got down to about 4 days Boinc would try to get more work. Which meant that if the project was down your computer would have a further 4 days of trying to get more work before there was a danger of running out of work. How often does Boinc try to connect with the new 'Connect to network', I understand that the figure you enter is the minimum figure and the maximum is twice the minimum figure. Does Boinc wait until it reaches the minimum figure before trying or is there some other figure it uses as to when it try's to get more work.

J.C. Leyendecker's involvement with different foodstuffs such as Kellogg's Cornflakes and Caro syrup has not met with as much scrutiny as his involvement with the Saturday Evening Post, Collier's or the male fashion industry. My usual luck has held; in one day I was able to get four coffee ads from the 40's (one sure date is 1941), to add to one I already had. They do not seem to advertise any particular brand, so the sponsor must have been the coffee industry.
Pic. 1. Who would have thought that J.C.'s iconic Saint Nicholas would end up drinking coffee? it does make sense, after a hard night distributing toys.
Pic. 2: my first and favorite: in an unusual role reversal, a pipe smoking dad (?) with an apron, no less, makes coffee for the family. To boot, he is reading his (absent) wife's instructions!
Pic. 3: Coffee and doughnuts it is for grandpa and grandson. The female who presumably made it is conspicuously absent from the picture.
Pic. 4: A surprising family scene. Grandmother and son (WHERE IS THE WIFE!!!???) admire a new baby, while the doctor (when was the last time you had a medical home visit? Probably not in your lifetime!) rests, looking very pleased and . . . drinking coffee.
I have another where a grandmother offers a cup of coffee to a weary mail carrier, and one I have yet to buy where a grandmother teaches a young girl how to make it. The aim was to make coffee a daily social occurrence, no matter what the occasion, associated with family life. No Starbucks and alienated yuppies staring into screens!
Correction: the ads were made specifically for the Maxwell's Coffee Company. Also, I noticed that the model for the grandfather and the doctor in the last two pictures may be the same individual!

1996 Cadillac Seville Sedan SLS 4dr Sedan
Bought the car from dealer with 40,000 miles on it. Dealer has free 90 days warranty. Brought it back week before warranty expired, and dealer fix the problem of leaking oil. Also dealer did all recalls. Some minor electrical glitches which I was able to fix with the help of code reader, and parts from local junk yard. Today the car has 105,000 miles with just oil and gas. Driving often to Vegas 800 Miles one way. It is blast to go over mountains or Utah plains, super AC, plenty of power, Bose music system with CD exchanger is mobile concert hall. In town 19 mpg, out of town 28 mpg. I will go with Seville again even they do not make them anymore.
Engine NORTHSTAR, Bose music system
Electrical system seems to be too complicated. Mechanics often do not understand how to fix it, and charge the labor and parts anyway. If you have electronics and computer skill, there is no problem to fix the small glitches.
I've always wanted a caddy but never could afford a new one. So I found this one on Craigs list and fell in love with it. The power is amazing and all the features work well, with the exception of hesitation of the drivers side power window. Maybe I'm a lucky one but this car uses no oil between changes. It has aproximately 129,000 on it at this time. I'm glad they depreciate as they do, otherwise, i would not be able to own a car this nice.
The quietness and smooth ride at cruising speed, the Bose sound system and the fact this care will tell you more about itself than you can tell your doctor about yourself--door open, turn signal left on, percent of oil life left until change, and on and on.
door closure armrests are very flimsy and will tear the vinyl. Air conditioner very noisy on high and on recirculate.
I bought this vehicle brand new and have used it for just short of twelve years. The car rides and performs well, but is expensive to service and maintain. I estimate that to own and operate this car (less gas and tires) over 137 months was $68,500 or roughly $500 per month. All service work was performed by the dealer and the car still performs well with the exception of check transmission and check engine lights which occasionally come on and then go off. From the Edmunds Web site I learned that the fault is a defective "turbine speed input sensor" a $100 part that takes 15 hours of labor to replace at a cost of $3050 or $4000 for a rebuilt transmission.
Handling, pickup, ride, and overall appearance. To maintain that look would require the driver's seat to be replaced with a new seat from Cadillac at a parts cost of $760 plus installation. Finally a new simulated convertible top at a cost of $900, and all is back to normal.
Build a new car with body lines of the 1996 Seville, but enhance the quality of production and the reliability of the vehicle. Unfortunately Cadillac designs their new cars based on either a "star wars" concepts or as oversized behemoths to epitomize size and power.
I bought this car used with 65k miles on it. 3k miles later the engine needs to be replaced at 69k miles at a cost of $3,000. I also had to fix two window motors $600, ignition switch $400, alternator $600, and fuel line split (covererd under recall). Things that broke that I refuse to fix: transmission currently at 100k for $4,000 and air conditioner for $1,500 plus another dead window motor for $300. The new motor has roughly 35k on it and burns oil. I will NEVER buy a Cadillac again, and I honestly question the entire GM line up for quality. This car has been nothing but a constant stream of dealer drop offs.
When there are this many people complaining about the same things then the entire design of the car is to be questioned. Placing the Cadillac marquee on this pig and charging $50,000 for it is just plain robbery. I hope people read these comments and stay away from Cadillac.
I bought my 1996 Cadillac SeVille from its original owner with 76,000 miles. I've driven it during the winter in Arizona. I started getting a "service transmission" on the message center, so I serviced the transmission by having the fluid and filter changed. The message continued, so I brought the car into a service facility, the code told the tech that it was a turbine speed input sensor, the part is under $100 but it's the last part to come out of the transmission so we're looking at 15 hours of labor. I was told by three national transmission repair chains that it is a common problem and a "design flaw". I got the word today that it's a $3,050 job. Cadillac basically told me that I'm on my own. BE CAREFULL!
Beautiful paint detail, great interior comfort, very nice ride and handling.
Cadillac doesn't want to help on problems with their transmission design.

Our Slavic Fellow Citizens - 1910
For livelihood the main dependence is agriculture.
Agricultural work is the main occupation, that is, including stock raising, but all on a very small scale. As in Russia, the mechanics and factory hands and the wandering peddlers and workers are in most cases simply peasants temporarily employed otherwise than in their fields.
The thickly settled village, which to American eyes suggests town life, is surrounded by land belonging to the houses and employing men and women alike. Population is not dense absolutely, but take into consideration the character of the soil, the amount of land held in large estates (and this is apt to be the best situated), the amount that is in woodland or otherwise unfit for tillage, the degree of subdivision of property, the primitive methods and the frequent indebtedness, and it is not hard to understand why, as Hurban Vayansky's pathetic song of the wandering Slovak says, "Our native village does not give bread to her children."

What is it about identical twins that captures our fascination?
For me, a sisterless child, it's the wonder of what it would be like to have someone so close to you: in utero, in physiology, in life.
Some twins spend their lives battling their identical identity while others seem to celebrate it by dressing alike, walking alike, talking alike, and spending most of their time together.
Such is the case with Erna and Hrefna, a set of identical twins from Iceland. That's where they were discovered by Ariko Inaoka, a photographer born in Kyoto, Japan. Inaoka met the twins when they were 9 years old and plans on taking their portraits every year until they turn 16. "My intention for this project is to capture the very precious period of their growth from child to teenager, physically as well as physiologically."
Inaoka's photos of the girls are ethereal, almost as if she's captured ghosts or fairies in action. The photographer says the girls have a very intense bond. "I often hear that identical twins have telepathic connections between then. This is true with Erna and Hrefna. They are always together. They almost never fight each other. Spending time with them I feel such comfort in their companionship but at the same time I feel strange because I have never seen such a powerful connection between any two human beings. They say to me, 'We dream same dreams sometimes.'"
Do you believe twins have a telepathic connection? After looking at these photos of Erna and Hrefna, it's hard not to think something extrasensory is going on.

Former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton advanced to the quarterfinals in the balloting to pick the player for the cover of the "Madden NFL 15" video game. Former Alabama running back Eddie Lacy did not.
Voting ended on Thursday in the Round of 16 to select the cover subject, with Newton winning by the most lopsided margin of the eight contests. The Carolina Panthers QB polled 80 percent of the votes in his matchup with Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown.
Lacy, heading into his second season with the Green Bay Packers, attracted 37 percent of the votes in his matchup against New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham.
In the quarterfinals, Newton is matched against Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles. Charles advanced by receiving 52 percent of the votes in his matchup against Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green.
The online voting in this round continues until May 22. The semifinal voting ends on May 30, and the final round will end on June 6.
Newton reached the finals of the cover vote for "Madden NFL 13," but was defeated by Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson.
The winner from the Newton-Charles vote will be matched against either Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck or Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy. Luck drew 76 percent of the votes in his Round of 16 matchup with Washington Redskins running back Andrew Morris. McCoy got 77 percent of the votes in advancing past Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton.
The other quarterfinalists are Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, who faces Graham in the current round; Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
In the Round of 16, Sherman drew 73 percent of the vote against Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, Kuechly got 51 percent of the vote against Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas and Kaepernick attracted 57 percent of the vote against Eagles quarterback Nick Foles.

At Mint Creek, we know that there are many benefits to raising animals without grains. Our animals, grazing on our organic pastures with over 12 different types of native plants, are lean, fit, and healthy. This translates into products high in essential minerals, vitamins, and those hard to get Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids.
We offer our meats for purchase at various Chicagoland farmers markets. You can alternately place an order online for specific cuts to be shipped your home, or for you to pick up at a conveniently located farmers market.
Please keep in mind that we are a small-scale farm. This means availability of cuts is limited, and varies for multiple reasons. Please allow up to 2-4 weeks for your order to be ready for pick up or shipping.

New North London Synagogue (NNLS) echoed with the sound of Chopin as it launched its first in a series of free lunchtime concerts.
The project, known as Intermezzo, kicked off with performances by cellist Rebecca Herman and pianist Peter Foggit who played for just under an hour in the synagogue's beit knesset.
According to Intermezzo's co-organiser Sarah Manson, the launch was a great start to an ambitious scheme, attracting an audience of over 80 people.
"We had such a fantastic response and lots of people said they're going to tell their friends about it," she said. "We hope this will be a really successful outreach project."
NNLS will be holding a free Intermezzo event every month, offering a range of musical performances — including opera, jazz and classical pieces — that both reach out to the local community, and give young musicians the chance to showcase their talent.
Working with the Concordia Foundation, a charity that supports young musicians, the synagogue aims to create a diverse programme that appeals to all, from nursery school children to elderly care-home residents.
"We had five residents from Hammerson House attend the concert," Ms Manson said. "And we've also been in touch with local schools like Akiva and JCoSS."
She added: "We want to keep the event so that it's of a very high quality, but at the same time accessible."
The next Intermezzo event will be held on November 21, and will feature Edgar Bailey playing the violin and Annie Yim playing the piano in a programme including Beethoven's "Kreutzer Sonata".

Rosie Holden
Master of Arts in Organizational Management, Health Care Administration specialization, 2010
"Age has no limitations if you persevere and remain focused."
Professionally, Rosie was the Education Coordinator for St. Francis Medial Center, a non-profit Catholic-based hospital, for three years, and it was her career that led Rosie to Ashford University. After earning her Bachelor's degree in Organizational Leadership in 2007 from Biola University, Rosie began a Master's program, but was unable to complete the degree. "During this time, I took another look at my goals and aspirations. What I found was that my goals were not in alignment with my purpose; my purpose in getting a higher degree was to attain the position of non-clinical educator at the hospital where I work. To achieve this, I would need a degree which offered an emphasis in health care."
After careful research, Rosie discovered Ashford's Master of Arts in Organizational Management online degree program, with a Health Care Administration specialization. "My choice was based not only on the health care emphasis, but also on the values of Ashford University. As a result of pursuing my goal, I was promoted on January 12, 2009 to the position of Non-Clinical Educator. My role is to provide and coordinate education for the non-clinical associates and provide ancillary education for the hospital and the surrounding community."
While the professional success of promotion satisfied Rosie's stated goal in pursuing her Master's, she admits that earning her graduate degree was about much more than her career. "For several years, I dreamed of the day I would walk across the stage and earn a graduate degree, not only for personal reasons, but also so others could take notice that age has no limitations if you persevere and remain focused."
On March 29, 2010, Rosie graduated at age 59. She is currently pursuing a Doctoral degree with the end goal of opening a non-profit organization. "I will call it Scholars for Change; it will provide people who are looking to make a change in their lives with the necessary tools to strategically plan for their future years." In addition, she was inducted into the Golden Key International Honour Society as a result of her academic success at Ashford. Congratulations, Rosie!

BRADENTON, Fla. – Thierry Henry tallied his first goal of the preseason and the Red Bulls erased a 2-1 deficit with less than five minutes to play in a 3-2 victory over Swedish First Division side Malmo FF, 3-2, Thursday afternoon at the IMG Academy.
The Red Bulls, which also received goals from forward Amando Moreno and guest player Rafhael Domingues, improved their 2013 preseason record to 2-0-0 with the win.
The Swedish side took the lead in the third minute. Matias Concha had the ball on the right wing and played a low pass into the penalty box. Midfielder and former Seattle Sounder Erik Friberg got it first and hit it first time into the back of the net.
The Red Bulls controlled most of the first half following Friberg's strike and its pressing game paid off less than 25 minutes later when it tied the match. Fabian Espindola dispossessed a Malmo defender and drove into the box before sliding it to Henry, who guided it home for his first goal of the preseason.
The Red Bulls made eight substitutions at halftime. Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles was called upon four minutes into the second half, turning Jiloan Hamad's shot aside. Malmo went ahead in the 53rd minute when Dardan Rexhepi had enough space at the top of the box to shoot it in past Robles.
The Red Bulls exerted pressure to find an equalizer and tied the game again with four minutes to play. Ruben Izquierdo had possession and found an open Moreno, as the Red Bulls Academy product was able to chest it down and knock it in.
Less than two minutes later, the Red Bulls earned the eventual game-winner. Marius Obekop hit a well-weighted through ball to an on-rushing Domingues. With only the goalkeeper to beat, Domingues tucked it into the goal's lower right-hand corner.
The Red Bulls return to preseason play Feb. 13, taking on Real Salt Lake at Kino Sports Complex as part of the 2013 Desert Diamond Cup in Tucson, Ariz., at 9 p.m.

Snowgrass in January
The 10th annual Snowgrass Festival promises to be a toe-tapping good time.
Headlining the First Step Family Support Center benefit are Marilyn Kay & Company, Abby Mae and the Homeschool Boys, Crescent Blue and special guests The Finleys.
All proceeds go to the United Way agency, which served 4,939 people adults and children in 2009. First Step has provided support and education services to families in Clallam County since 1971.
Marilyn Kay & Co.
Described as an "energetic and exciting" band, Marilyn Kay & Company plays a mix of original compositions by lead vocalist Kay, traditional bluegrass and country classics.
The group played almost 70 shows last year, including Snowgrass, the Grays Harbor Bluegrass Festival, Clallam County Fair and Folklife.
Members of the band are Kay, Rochelle Munger, Cliff Simpson, Daniel "Jr." Agne and Jerry Hegarty, who has more than 40 years of experience in live performances and studio sessions.
Abby Mae and the Homeschool Boys
Four local young adults comprise a band that consistently has packed several Port Angeles venues.
Abby Mae and the Homeschool Boys combines timeless traditions of "ol' timey" music with Gaelic, blues and gospel. The group recently released its first album, "EP 1," and is recording a second.
Abby Mae Latson, David Rivers, Joey Gish and Hayden Pomeroy all got their musical start in Port Angeles and continue to share their talents with the community. They are described as "silly, sultry, spiritual and heartbreaking."
Crescent Blue
Formed in 2007, Crescent Blue got its start after Mary Meyer and Barney Munger met Ken Lambert at a Relay for Life cancer benefit. The three got together to see if their many years of performing bluegrass separately could be combined into something more.
Dave Lenahan joined in 2009 and the group has performed at its first venue, Cafe Paix, every five or six weeks since. The band plays a range of music about life, love and the pursuit of happiness.
The Finleys
Special guests to Snowgrass, The Finleys are Forks residents Ed and Jerry Finley, who have been making music together since 1957.
Jerry Finley, originally from Buffalo, Mo., grew up in a musical family and started playing with a Harmony guitar. Her husband, Ed Finley, was born in Waynesville, Mo., and discovered his musical talent while serving in the military in Japan.
The couple spent many years touring Washington churches in a pickup truck, singing and playing gospel music.
The Snowgrass Festival will begin at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 29, at the Port Angeles High School Auditorium, 304 E. Park Ave., Port Angeles. Tickets are $10 for advance purchase, $12 at the door, $7 for seniors and free for youths 10 years old and younger. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
Tickets are available at Pacific Mist Books in Sequim; and at First Step Family Support Center, KONP, Strait Music, Odyssey Books, Port Book and News, and Necessities & Temptations in Port Angeles.

Syracuse officials are questioning the veracity of a report from Washington-based Environmental Working Group that lists Syracuse drinking water as one of 31 it found to have detectable levels of a chemical believed to cause cancer.
The group said volunteers tested water samples in 35 cities and found detectable levels of hexavalent chromium or chromium-6, a chemical demmed by the National Institutes of Health to be a probable carcinogen, in 31 of them. Syracuse water ranked 23rd, the group said.
Syracuse.com user crazedmaniac said he wasn't surprised by the news:
"Trace amounts of many chemicals can be found in drinking water just about everywhere. I'm not a scientist and don't really care to go looking, but I'd be willing to bet that a thousand people drinking a gallon of water each every day for 20 years that has .12 parts per billion would have no more or less health issues than any other group of 1000. I'm not sure who these people are that want a contaminant free anything, but they probably should start by drinking distilled water."

College can be overwhelming, especially the first few weeks of freshman year.
Navigating campus, figuring out the computer system, even learning to work in groups -- all that can be hard for newbies. Even more so if they're the first in their family to go to college or come from a disadvantaged background.
That's why freshmen at Lawson State Community College now take a required freshman academy course designed to steer them through those difficulties.
"It's good for new students that don't know anything about the campus, who aren't familiar with the Internet," said Jaquice Reynolds, a Lawson State second-year student from Birmingham. "When you're coming to college as a freshman, you're really lost."
The class is one of many programs that universities and community colleges are using to try to improve their retention, especially of minority and first-generation students.
For example, the University of Alabama at Birmingham lets new students sign up for special classes a cohort of students takes together. Auburn University offers a "summer bridge" program, in which minority students interested in science and math get four weeks of training before school begins. And this year Alabama State University revamped its freshman orientation, making it a two-and-a-half day requirement for all new students.
At Lawson, the one-credit class is required for all incoming students, with exceptions for some transfer students. The course is in its second year and results are starting to show, said Sherri Davis, Lawson State's academic dean.
The college decided as a whole about three years ago to pick one area for improvement, and came up with the freshman academy curriculum after consulting with faculty about weaknesses that needed to be fixed. Those ranged from social skills -- such as what to wear, how to work in teams and how to take responsibility for their work -- to basic computer techniques.
For example, Davis said, many students weren't checking their campus email and thus were missing out on important notices. Others struggled to sign into Blackboard, the system used at Lawson and many other campuses as a sort of online syllabus, message board and study center. Because of that, the freshman academy is technology-heavy to get them up to speed outside their regular academic courses.
"We have a lot of students who may not have the necessary income to have a computer at home," Davis said. "That was one of the surprises for us when we examined our students."
On a recent afternoon, students got an online video tutorial on how to sign into the campus computer system. Davis said most lessons come with these online videos, which lets students go back and re-watch the information whenever they need it.
The class of about 30 students then divided into groups that will have to create a Power Point presentation on some aspect of the college's campus. To do that, they have to learn to schedule meetings, agree on a leader and practice working out conflicts between themselves, all of which may be new for these students, Davis said.
It's a hit with some of the students, including Larry Jones III, who's taking the course later in his academic career and said it will help him if he transfers to a four-year school.
"I think this class is very important for the success of all students," Jones said. "Four-year colleges need this and it's great that Lawson's doing this."

It was July 7, not a hot day in Minot thankfully.
You, are a shorter woman who had to take care of business at the DMV. Just a normal day for everyone at the DMV.
My wife and I took care of business at the DMV behind you. Then, we headed back to our vehicle.
What do I notice? You parked diagonally in front of us. You were about to back out and head on your way. What I noticed was two kids in the back seat of your vehicle.
Do you leave your kids in the vehicle when it is hot too? You have got to be kidding me NO parent, who takes that responsibility lightly should for a moment consider leaving their child in a vehicle.
A child in a vehicle, is in danger of the heat, is in danger of your vehicle being chosen to be stolen, is in danger of something happening to you while you are not around.
City of Minot, and those that make the laws we abide by... it is time to at least make a law that allows people to report the plate numbers and have a hefty fine thrown at these wanna-be parents. It is time for a sticker to be developed so that responsible people can plaster the sticker on the windshield letting these wanna-be parents think about what they just did.
I am livid and don't even know the children who were left in the vehicle. Wake up everyone. One child has already died this summer let's not have another child death in North Dakota.

Sometimes it seems as if the rapid prototyping industry produces almost as many acronyms as it does parts. There's FDM, SLA, DMLS, EBM and LOM, just to name a few. But the acronyms do serve a purpose since they refer to individual prototyping processes, each with different capabilities.
What increasingly doesn't serve a purpose is the term rapid prototyping, which has lost much of its descriptive power for a couple of reasons. For one thing, rapid prototyping doesn't necessarily live up to the first part of its name. And, rapid prototyping machines are increasingly being used for production parts rather than prototypes.
You may think rapid prototyping machines, which use various additive fabrication methods, will by definition create parts faster than traditional manufacturing methods. But high-speed machining centers and even some injection molding operations can turn out parts as fast or faster than rapid prototyping machines.
Don't believe me? Well, consider Protomold. Arguably the speediest of quickturn injection molding businesses, it has honed its high-speed machining and molding operations to the point where it can now produce injection-molded plastic parts in one business day. Protomold's First Cut Prototype subsidiary promises the same for machined plastic prototypes.
One-day turnarounds make Protomold and First Cut at least as fast at supplying parts as rapid prototyping service bureaus and many in-house prototyping operations. For the kinds of parts we make, we're faster hands down, says Brad Cleveland, Protomold's president.
Of course, to say rapid prototyping isn't by definition the fastest way to get a part is not to say it doesn't have value. Additive fabrication machines can increasingly produce finished or nearly finished production parts without the need for tooling or expensive fixturing. Additive fabrication can enable complex part geometries and function integrations that would be too expensive or even impossible to achieve any other way.
Plenty of users have gotten wise to these benefits and started to press their rapid prototyping machines into production duties, particularly for low-volume or custom products. Stratasys, the market leader in additive prototyping machines, reports 42 percent of its customers already make some production parts on their machines, while 11 percent use their machines solely for manufacturing.
So if rapid prototyping machines aren't necessarily the fastest way to make parts and if they don't always make prototypes, what should we call them? I spoke to industry analyst Terry Wohlers during the Rapid 2007 conference and he suggested in passing we call all of the additive fabrication machines 3D printers and we adopt 3D printing in place of rapid prototyping.
His not entirely serious suggestion may not sit well with those who supply prototyping machines. They've spent years differentiating their fabrication technologies and only a handful of machines, like those from Z Corp., explicitly use technology borrowed from ink jet paper printers. What's more, in common usage, 3D printer currently refers only to the relatively low-cost prototyping machines, not the pricier models most suited to production-part manufacturing.
That differentiation, though, matters more to those who market the machines than to those who use them. As Wohlers points out, You have low-cost paper printers for use in the home and higher-cost printers used for commercial printing. They're all printers.
What he says makes a lot of sense. 3D printing could likewise encompass the entire spectrum of additive prototyping machines from low-cost models that work as CAD peripherals in the office environment to higher-priced machines destined for the shop floor. As a descriptive term, 3D printing captures a lot of what makes additive machines special.

Social Security fund only solvent on paper
I always find it amusing when the media refers to the Social Security Trust fund. The media tells us that now in 2016 the fund will start paying out more than it takes in, but is solvent until 2037.
It's solvent on paper only. There isn't a trust fund. There are only IOUs from the government. The reality of the situation is that our government has been spending the trust fund and they've been writing IOUs for decades. Now, in 2016, those IOUs are going to start coming due. Where is that money going to come from? It's going to come from you and me in some form of higher taxes. Currently we have trillion (yes trillion) dollar deficits every year. Is it right to burden our children and grandchildren with this kind of massive debt?

Patronage spending hurting the state
Masquerading as well-meaning providers of services, federal, state and local governments have deteriorated - for the most part - into conduits for excessive patronage spending whether it be for teacher unions, insurance companies or defense contractors.
Now that state and local governments realize that not even the stimulus (read pork) monies from Washington can plug the looming revenue shortfalls, the scramble to raise taxes and slash services begins in earnest as the best connected lobbies refuse to contribute meaningful concessions that would preserve many if not most services.
Northampton comes to mind. It's time for a responsible, less selfish citizenry to support and elect principled non-partisan leadership that is not on bended knee to the funny-money gods in Washington or Boston nor cowed by labor bullying here at home including a willingness to face labor strikes.
How many thousands would line up on Easter for those Turnpike toll collector jobs at half the $70,000 base salary if given the chance? Many.
Think 1981 and the air traffic controllers. Through the magic of compounded saving, if government spending became seven percent more productive and efficient each year, we could accomplish twice as much in 10 years with the same taxes and much less or no borrowing. Do you think its possible that our government wastes seven percent per year? Might that be a conservative estimate? We are not speaking of being ungrateful or unappreciative of the services our governments provide, but rather of insisting on better quality and value. Now is the time for political leadership from city councilors, mayors and governors even if it means risking not being re-elected although we, the electorate, would hopefully surprise them.
Jewish Americans enrich U.S. culture
I noticed that The Republican on MassLive has run articles in February for Black History Month, in March for Women's History Month and Irish-American Heritage Month, and September-October for Hispanic Heritage Month.
However, I saw no such articles for May's History Month - Jewish-American Heritage Month.
U.S. House Representative Debbie Shultz, D-Florida and Rep. Jon Porter, R-Nevada, introduced the bill (along with 250 congressional members who co-sponsored it), and the bill passed both the House and the Senate. The bill's purpose was to recognize the rich cultural heritage of the Jews in America and their contributions to medicine, the arts, science and technology.
The sponsors believe ignorance about Jews and their history, culture and contributions to American society remains widespread and this ignorance leads to hatred and bigotry, and one way to stop it is through education.
The legislation was signed into law by Bill Clinton in 2006; it's now up to our communities to implement it.
Many schools already incorporate Holocaust studies into their World War II curriculum; however, we need to look beyond Jews as just victims. Jews have bravely fought in all the U.S. wars including the American Revolution (if not for Haym Solomon, we would still be part of England), and contributed to science (e.g., Albert Einstein, Jonas Salk), justice (e.g., Louis Brandeis, Ruth Bader Ginsberg), entertainment (e.g., Harry Houdini, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, Carol King, Bob Dylan), medicine (e.g., Jonas Salk), literature (e.g., Saul Bellow, Philip Roth), sports (e.g., Kevin Youkilis, Sandy Koufax) women's rights (e.g., Gloria Steinem, Betty Freidan), humor (e.g., Mel Brooks, Woody Allen), etc.
An excellent source of information for an article on Jewish-American Heritage Month would be from the Library of Congress. The library had an exhibit in 2005, when it was the 350th anniversary of Jews in America. The exhibit ("From Haven to Home") was placed online, and you can see it at: (www.loc.gov/exhibits/haventohome).

Destination casino boon to town of Palmer
As a resident and taxpayer of Palmer I read with great interest the list of items the Casino Impact Study Committee advises us may be necessary for our town to host the proposed casino. (" Recession spurs casino support," May 10, Sunday Republican)
First of all, I am 100 percent in favor of a destination casino being built here. In this town we have no industry, and we sorely need a source for revenue; we cannot and should not be relying on property taxes alone.
I also agree with (Paul I.) Brody (vice president of development, Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority); since the casino is to be built on non tribal lands, the developers should be treated no differently than any other commercial venture. In that respect, we would welcome the builder with open arms and keep a keen eye on public safety and traffic concerns.
Of course any new development would bring an impact study; however the many demands listed simply would not exist.
At the outset, the casino folks may wish to make certain contributions to the safety and well being of the residents; things such as lighting, road repairs and access (off/on ramps) etc.
A fair percentage of net revenue (percentage decided by Legislature) to Palmer (first) and then to the state for distribution to surrounding towns.
The list of items proposed on the "wish list" by the committee are a bit ambitious; with due respect to the good people who worked for better than a year on the study, I offer the following suggestions for the needs of this town:
We do not need two schools at approximately $40 million each.
How about one magnet school, built on town property and large enough to house kindergarten through Grade 12?
The police chief should be the one to determine the amount of additional officers we would need for any public safety concerns he may have.The chief should also be relied upon to propose the transportation needs for his department. If I were the chief I would lobby for the immediate replacement of any vehicle over three years old.
Same rules would apply for the Fire Department: rely upon that chief's expertise.
I really see no need to expand Wing Memorial Hospital emergency room. The casino itself should be in a position to provide immediate emergency care. With the numbers of people visiting there on a daily basis, a first class, first aid station should be available 24 /7. This could also augment the Wing emergency room.
A rooftop heliport should be built for use by medical personnel in a real emergency. Restrictions should be put in place; this is to be used in emergency situations only; the arrival or departure of high rollers does not constitute an emergency.
I would certainly be opposed to any selective increase in property taxes. The idea behind hosting a casino is to help lower property taxes not raise them.
I would also strongly suggest residents of Palmer be given first crack at any and all employment opportunities at the casino; fair is fair.
The town fathers should be able to help negotiate any terms of agreement between the town and the casino; hiring of outside negotiators should not be necessary.
I'm quite sure the state office of attorney general and the state treasurer's legal staff could be called upon to help broker any deals .
Finally I call upon our state legislators to enact a casino bill without delay; the state of our current economy and the continued loss of potential revenue to our neighbor to the south demands immediate action.

PITTSGROVE TWP. -- The Pittsgrove Board of Education followed in the footsteps of the Elmer school board and unanimously voted during its meeting here late last week to work towards merging with the Elmer district.
The school board made the decision after discussing it in a closed session late Thursday night.
"We have agreed to work with Elmer in putting together a memorandum of understanding which will allows us to lay the groundwork for the agreement," said Pittsgrove Superintendent Henry Bermann said.
Now both school boards will begin to put the pieces together in taking the initial steps towards a full send and receive agreement. Elmer's school board unanimously voted for the same agreement earlier last week.
Through the agreement, it will have Elmer and Pittsgrove students attending school together. It also means Elmer School might still be used, but it is unknown at this time in what nature the school will be used. Presently, the school houses Elmer students kindergarten through fourth grade.
"I think this is an appropriate move for both schools in light of them trying to make the most efficient use for public education," said County Executive Superintendent Robert Bumpus.
Bumpus went on to say he thinks it is wise that the schools have not set a strict timeline. As part of the agreement, the schools will now be non-operating school districts. Because of this, Bumpus thinks it'd be appropriate to do the project in phases so they can make adjustments along the way.
Now that both schools have agreed on a full send and receive agreement, they can start to do their research.
Elmer school board member Jose Cardona previously said they were going to hire consultants to help them make the move. He said they have no timeline as to when the merger would happen and at this time are focused on planning.
Bermann said Pittsgrove did a study four years ago on this type of agreement and they plan to use the results as their foundation.
"At that point in time, the results proved to be supportive of the full send and receive agreement for both districts," said Bermann.
He believes this is a step in the positive direction but it's going to have to be a transparent, open process. Bermann said both sides will put ample input so they can be at a good comfort level with the direction the are moving.
"This directly goes along with what the state is doing. They are going in a positive direction. I look forward to helping them make the transition to make this happen," said Bumpus.

Victorino Leaves Game with Sore Left Calf
Shane Victorino left tonight's game in the fifth inning because of soreness in his left calf.
He said after the game he should be fine. Charlie Manuel said he does not know if Victorino will play in tomorrow's series finale against the Astros, but with no game Monday the Phillies might rest Victorino two consecutive days.
"I was a little nervous," Victorino said. "I felt something so I said, 'Let's be a little smarter.' But I feel good. My strength was there when I did all the tests."
Victorino said he felt the leg cramp as he jogged off the field in the middle of the fifth inning. He said it had nothing to do with a collision with Ben Francisco in right-center field in the fourth.
But if Victorino misses any time, it will create another hole in manager Manuel's lineup. Manuel has had Victorino leading off and Jimmy Rollins hitting third while Chase Utley is on the disabled list with chronic knee pain.
Victorino has had calf problems before, although in his other leg. He spent time on the DL in 2007 and 2008 because of a strained right calf. He said this is not nearly as severe as those injuries, which has him optimistic he will be back on the field soon.
"I don't think it's anything too serious," he said. "We'll evaluate in the morning and see where we're at."

Filter blamed for Langley Middle School fire scare
Reports of a fire at Langley Middle School resulted in a facility-wide evacuation Monday.
South Whidbey Fire/EMS crews responded to the 3 p.m. incident and found "heat and smoke" in an upstairs room of the historic two-story brick building, but no flames, according to district officials.
According to South Whidbey Fire/EMS Deputy Chief Jon Beck, the smoke came from an overhead heating unit that hadn't been used in some time. It malfunctioned shortly after the building occupants turned it on for a tour of the room, he said.
"It pumped out enough smoke to trip two detectors," Beck added.
The alarms triggered the evacuation of the old school, which is currently used by Whidbey Island Dance Theatre, along with every other school building, said Brian Miller, director of facilities for South Whidbey School District.
"When an alarm goes off, the whole campus is evacuated," he said.
Classes were already out for the day, but a basketball game was going on in the adjacent gym. The game was called to a halt and everyone was removed to a safe distance while firefighters investigated the scene. Game play resumed at about 3:30 p.m., a school official said.
According to Miller, investigation revealed that a filter had somehow gotten too close to a heater coil, and that was what caused the smoke. He speculated high winds may have been at fault, causing pressure and dislodging the filter, but that it's impossible to be certain.
"We'll probably never know for sure," Miller said.
Beck said heater problems have the potential to escalate into full-blown fires, so the fire department didn't take any chances when addressing the emergency Monday afternoon.
Three fire engines responded to the call, along with 14 firefighters, and firehose was rolled out and readied for action. Water wasn't needed, however, just shutting off the power. Electricity to the building was cut and the heater immediately ceased smoking.
"We were able to get it to shut it off quick enough that it didn't do any [smoke] damage," Beck said.
"The fire alarms did their job," he said.
The incident resulted in the closure of both lanes of traffic on Camano Avenue for about one hour. Motorists were diverted to Edgecliff Drive, Decker Avenue and Sandy Point Road.

Get a passport
Open Farm Day visitors can download Farm Passports available at www.madisoncountyagriculture.com . Click on Buy Local Week, then Open Farm Day. Each farm visited earns a stamp and stamped passports can be traded for prizes. The website also has a map showing the location of the participating farms.
Madison County Buy Local Week wraps up Saturday with a chance for families to get to know the people who produce the goods they consume, whether eating at the kitchen table or shopping in their favorite boutique.
Forty farms and three farmers markets will participate in Open Farm Day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Farms will offer samples of their products, farm tours, rides and animal displays. Some farms will have farm stores or stands with products for sale.
"We like to open the farm to the community and let them see what we do," said Shannon Nichols, of Heamour Farm, an organic farm at 3877 Center Road in Madison. "Most have never seen a cheese factory, so they come in and expect to see 'Star Trek' or something high tech. It's a pretty simple operation."
Nichols said visiting children get to know the farm on a different level.
"They get to play with baby goats. They (the goats) love to play and they're curious, just like kids," she said.
Heamour Farm was one of the original Open Farm Day participants, she said.
"My husband's family — he goes back to the Mayflower — has a long history of farming in the Northeast," Nichols said. "He farmed in Massachusetts in 1979 and moved here in 2002. We started cheese making seven years ago and transitioned to organic the year after."
Lindsey McDonnell, specialist assistant with the Madison County Agricultural Economic Development Program, said the Open Farm Day has grown each year, from a dozen farms in 2008, to 24 the following year, 38 last year and 40 for 2011.
It's so popular that "a few farms dropped out this year so they could go on the tours themselves," she said.
"It takes a lot of work fixing up their farms for the event, (but) it gives them an opportunity to sell their products and educate the public about how important farms are in the community," McDonnell said.
Darrell Griff, owner of Shale Springs Stock Farm at 1505 Gorton Road in Hamilton, is taking part for the second year in a row. Last year, "we thought we'd get 50 people all day," he said. "Instead we had at least 50 in the barn at all times. We were swamped. A lot of people took pictures with their phones and sent messages to other people saying, 'You've got to come out and see this.'"
It wasn't an entirely new experience, he said. "We've done tours on our farm for years for elementary schools, nursery schools, senior centers and other groups."
Griff, who is president of the Madison County Farm Bureau, talked about the variety visitors will see.
"We market our pork with Drover Hill Farms (nearby at 1014 Earlville Road) and in conjunction with them we opened the farm on Open Farm Day to show how the animals are raised," he said. "Hogs and sheep are our mainstays, but we have a lot of different animals: hens, geese, ducks, guinea hens, a llama, horse, pony and a couple of Texas longhorns.
"It's a good opportunity to network with people talk about our lifestyle," he said.

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Michael Pineda's debut is in the books. And he made a pretty good first impression. The Yankees right-hander pitched two scoreless innings against the Phillies today in his first spring start. The final line: two innings, no runs, one hit, no walks, two strikeouts. He threw 30 pitches, 19 for strikes.
So, was he nervous about his first start for the Yankees?
"Hell no," said Pineda, who is typically more tentative with his English.
Pineda allowed a leadoff single to Jimmy Rollins then got Placido Polanco to hit into what could have been a double play (it's spring training for the umpires, too). But Pineda bounced back and struck out the next two hitters he faced. Shane Victorino swung over the top of a changeup in the dirt and Jim Thome waved at a high fastball.
In the second, Pineda pitched a perfect inning, getting a pop up from Hunter Pence and a weak cue shot from Ty Wigginton. Domonic Brown hit a shot down the third base line. though Bill Hall snagged it a few inches off the ground.
With a few lefties in the Phillies lineup, Pineda also dropped in a few changeups, which he has focused on improving during the spring. I didn't see any radar gun readings. But he blew his fastball by Jim Thome and seemed comfortable throwing his slider as well.
Catcher Russell Martin offered good reviews. Before the game, he said Pineda insisted on throwing changeups during the game, hoping to improve the pitch he didn't feature much last season.
"He's game," Martin said. "It's good to see that."
Right-hander David Robertson came on in relief in the third inning. It is Robertson's first game of the spring.

Cumberland Valley's Mady Clahane turned in one of the best performances of her career at Saturday's PIAA Class AAA Cross Country Championships, held at Hershey's challenging Parkview course.
But with a Penn State recruit and a defending state champion clicking on all cylinders in front of her, the best the Eagles sophomore could hope for was third place.
Clahane ran a course-PR time of 18:12, but it was not enough to keep up with the likes of Abington Heights' Tessa Barrett (17:30), who will be running for the Nittany Lions next season, and Unionville's Courtney Smith (18:06), who won last year's state title.
Last season, Clahane finished fourth in the state as a freshman.
"I was just hoping to keep my third-place position," Clahane said. "It's scary when you think about how much better races like this can make you. This is one of the best running states and running against girls like this can only make me better."
Clahane's strategy for the race was to stay with Barrett for as long as she could. Barrett ran the first mile at a blistering 5:11 pace, eight seconds ahead of Clahane. The gap between the two runners only increased as the race went on.
"I don't think I could've raced any harder," Clahane said. "I am very satisfied with my finish."
That doesn't mean she's not already thinking about next year.
When Clahane was a freshman, running against state caliber runners was something new and perhaps intimidating. This season, Clahane's experience helped her run with confidence. For next year, though, Clahane wants to have the same killer instinct brought to the table by Barrett and Smith.
Luckily for Clahane, Barrett and Smith are both seniors.
"Their talent level is just so amazing," Clahane said. "Tessa was determined and had a 'I'm going to win this' mindset. She was so many levels above everyone else."
Other Mid-Penn and District 3 runners in the Top 100 included Lower Dauphin's Ella Breidenstine (15th), Chambersburg's Natalie Holder (24th), State College's Emma Cousins (30th) and Larissa Burka (50th), Penn Manor's Greta Lindsley (35th), Wilson's Alison Willingmyre (41st), Mechanicsburg's Abby Martin (42nd), Cumberland Valley's Laura Barnes (57th), Elizabethtown's Kara Mueser (64th), Chambersburg's Alexandra Orr (68th), Governor Mifflin's Kelly Moyer (70th), Daniel Boone's Sophia Guglielmi (73rd), Manheim Central's Danae Peters (75th), Hempfield's Molly Conrad (76th), Daniel Boone's Aliex Santora (84th), Cumberland Valley's Marie Rulapaugh (85th), Chambersburg's Courtney Group (90th) and Manheim Township's Emily McBride (97th).
Unionville won the team title with 51 points, while Cumberland Valley (256) took eighth, Chambersburg (275) took 10th, State College (282) took 13th, Wilson (363) took 15th and Manheim Township (385) took 16th.
