How to install landscapes
After you have downloaded the .zip file for a landscape from this page, you need to install it in Stellarium.
If you have Stellarium 0.10.6 or later version, you can use the "Add/remove landscapes" button to install landscapes automatically.
If you are using an earlier version of Stellarium, you can follow this procedure to install a landscape package:
- Browse to your User Data Directory, which varies according to your operating system. (eg. in Windows Vista/7 enter %appdata%\stellarium in Explorer's location bar )
- Create a sub-directory called landscapes in your user directory (if it doesn't exist).
- Unzip the landscape .zip file in the landscapes directory (if it's done right, a sub-directory should be created for each landscape).
NOTE: Older version of Stellarium (prior to v0.9.0) used a slightly different mechanism for doing landscapes. You can find a list of the old landscapes here.
Since version 0.10.5 Stellarium has problems in correctly loading old style landscapes (multi panel) if they are not 8 or 16 panel panoramas. Some old 4,7,9 qnd 10 side panoramas converted into 8 ides can be found here

| Hugo Jenks - Woodhenge near Stonehenge, was constructed around 2200 BC. It comprised numerous wooden posts set into the chalky ground. These posts of course decayed, and their positions today are marked with concrete cylinders.
The posts are arranged, in plan view, as a series of concentric egg shapes. The axis of the egg shapes aligns approximately with summer solstice sunrise. Download
|Hugo Jenks - Stonehenge. Was it an observatory? Yes indeed it was! The alignment of the monument with the summer solstice sunrise has been well known for many years. The alignment with the winter solstice sunset may have been more significant. For the first time, many additional alignments are published, and are detailed here: www.brontovox.co.uk These alignments demonstrate that Stonehenge was primarily a functional scientific instrument, used for measuring angles. The angles of interest were the rising and setting bearings of the sun, moon, and stars. It was therefore possible to map the entire visible sky. Download

Please feel free to contribute your own custom landscapes here. Make thumbnails 200x114 pixels to fit with the rest of the page. Please include a location section in your landscape.ini file with the longitude, latitude, altitude and planet for the location of the landscape (see one of the pre-existing landscapes for an example).
To find out more about how to create a landscape, see the Stellarium User Guide, and examine existing landscapes. If you are having problems, posting to the forums is a good way to get some advice.
Important note on image dimensions
IMPORTANT: Make sure all textures have dimensions which are integer powers of 2, i.e. 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, ... e.g. 4096 by 1024, 2048 by 2048 and so on.
This is a limitation of OpenGL. Some video hardware will work OK with images with different image dimensions, but many will not display properly, suffer vastly reduced frame rates, and even crash the computer.
Please make sure all contributed landscapes conform to these requirements, or your link may be removed.
Be aware that many people's video hardware cannot handle very large textures. This is hardware and driver dependent. A typical maximum image size is 2048x2048 or 4096x4096.
Package contents
Please package your landscape in a .zip file with all files inside a directory in the .zip file. This should be unique to your landscape, and it would be nice it it was all lower-case with no spaces.
You should also include a readme.txt file which describes the landscape and specifies any usage restrictions or licensing terms for the images used in the landscape.
Before you distribute images as part of a Stellarium landscape, please ensure you are legally entitled to - you must be the copyright holder for the images, or be able to distribute them for use with Stellarium under the terms of some agreement with the copyright holder (e.g. Creative Commons licensed images found on the web).
It is important to explicitly state what use may be made of images for your landscape. This should be done in the readme.txt file inside the .zip file.
We recommend an open source license compatible with Stellarium itself (i.e. the GNU GPL), or one of the Creative Commons licenses.
Example package contents
From the Mars Husband Hill landscape:
Archive: landscape_mars_husband_hill.zip Length Date Time Name -------- ---- ---- ---- 1815308 02-05-07 21:02 mars_husband_hill/husband_hill.png 211 05-28-07 19:44 mars_husband_hill/landscape.ini 1096 06-04-07 15:21 mars_husband_hill/readme.txt -------- ------- 1816615 3 files
The readme.txt file should look something like this:
Mars Husband Hill Landscape for Stellarium ========================================== Description ----------- This landscape was taken from the NASA Spirit Rover on Mars. Files ----- This file (readme.txt) should have come in a zip file with some others Here is a listing of all the files which should be in the zip file: mars/readme.txt mars/landscape.ini mars/husband_hill.png Installation & Use ------------------ Unzip the landscape package file in your personal stellarium data directory, or the <config_root>/landscapes directory. The location varyies depending on your operating system. See the Stellarium User Guide for per-platform details. Once you have installed the landscape, open Stellarium and go to the configuration dialog. Select the landscapes tab, and select the landscape from the list of available landscapes. Credits ------- Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Cornell http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/panoramas/opportunity/index.html License ------- NASA Images are released into the public domain
File encoding
The landscape.ini and readme.txt files should be UTF-8 encoded text or plain ASCII. It's probably a good idea to adopt the Windows line ending encoding, (i.e. CR LF). Both Windows and *nix style line ending encoding should work OK in Stellarium, but Windows users will have an ugly time reading the readme.txt if it uses *nix-style newlines.
Need hosting?
If you have a landscape you would like to share but have no web-space to put it, email me and I'll put it on my site.

Victor Niederhoffer By Beverly Chandler, Opalesque London:
A rounded 15 year career, starting in private banking, moving on to work with one of the original hedge fund managers, Victor Niederhoffer, and then on through the ups and downs of life in the City of London within banks and hedge fund firms through the financial crisis, has prepared Patrick Boyle for his next role, managing Palomar Fund Management.
Boyle is to launch Palomar in September of this year, with $50m under management, partly seeded by distinguished names from the hedge fund industry, an institution, a family office and from his own capital.
He started as a 21 year old in the private banking sector, observing and studying money management and realising that his biggest problem in getting on was a total lack of experience. With the arrival of all market data in the public domain at the end of the 1990s, Boyle started to study. "I thought it might be a smart approach if I analysed as much data as possible so I could speak knowledgeably about stocks; even if I hadn�t lived through the various periods, I could at least be a history student of the market."
The studies became more statistical in their nature and he enjoyed a couple of early successes, applying his theories to investment. "I realised over time that certain rules work better than others" he says. "I initially approached the markets like a man from Mars and in a way that is why I developed my own approach."
He read of Niederhoffer, admired his ......................

Bethel Park School Board accepts fact-finding, too
The Bethel Park School Board accepted the fact-finding report from the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board in executive session Oct. 9. The recommendations in the fact-finder were also accepted by the Bethel Park Federation of Teachers two days earlier.
The report will now serve as a basis for a contract between the federation and district. The contract would run through June 30, 2016.
According to Bethel Park Director of Public Relations Vicki Flotta, because the board voted yes for the report, it won't be taking any official action until the contract is finalized and ready to be signed. Additionally, until both sides sign a formal agreement, the district will not release any specifics.
Expectations are that the formal contract will be signed by both parties in the near future.
The prior agreement expired on June 30, 2010, with the district and teachers in continuous negotiations since April 2010. In addition to the face-to-face negotiations, the process also included a final best offer non-binding arbitration in 2010 after a six week strike by the teachers in October 2010; fact-finding at the teachers' request in March 2012, which ended with both sides rejecting those recommendations; and this latest round of fact-finding, requested by the district on August 21, 2013.
"The acceptance of the fact-finding report represents countless hours of hard work by both parties," said Bethel Park School Board President Donna Cook. "We are pleased to have a report that is agreeable to both parties, that is fair to the taxpayers of Bethel Park, and most importantly, a fact-finding Report that is beneficial to the children of our community."
"We recognize the past three years have posed challenges for our staff and created a strain on our community, school board and administrators," explained Bethel Park Superintendent Nancy Aloi Rose. "We are grateful to see an end to the negotiations process and we look forward to renewing our focus on providing the best possible education for our students.
"We are appreciative that our teaching staff worked diligently to put the contract issues aside during this prolonged negotiations process to focus on the needs of the students. We appreciate their commitment to providing quality education for our students."

Local business women unite together
The project was a look book touting Bridgeville's MoZaic Boutique's spring styles, but the collaboration that went into it was a joint effort of several local business women working together.
According to the National Federation of Independent Business, women will account for more than half of the 9.72 million new small business jobs expected to be created in the next five years – good news for women, and bad at the same time, as they will be giving each other quite the competition.
"What is so unique about this effort is that even though it is such a competitive marketplace out there, these local women business owners were excited to come together and help each other out," said photographer Tammy Anthos.
The look book is just the first result of the ladies' collaboration; the group has agreed to work together in various capacities until February 2014.
"This project does have a year long story, what we've decided to do is get the look book done for me, then I can help them back – photographers can come to MoZaic to shoot my products, which they will use to promote their photography," MoZaic owner Nancy Gilmore said. "And, they will send clients to my store to borrow merchandise for their photo shoots. Whatever evolves from that, is icing on the cake."
For the look book, the photographers themselves stepped from behind the camera and served as models. Tammy Anthos of Ltrs4u, Jennifer Churches of Jennifer Churches Photography, Robin Eiszler of Robin Kimberly Photography, Leeann Golish of The Leeann Marie Collective and Pittsburgh Fashion Blog, Kristi Ternullo of Kristi Ternullo Photography and Gina Wade of Gina Wade Photography also worked collectively with Gilmore on the design of the piece.
"It was definitely a very interesting challenge, to have all of our creative talents and rein them all in," Gilmore said. "Everyone had such good and big ideas – the biggest problem was trying to put all of that creativity into a time frame and manageable to do list."
The ladies celebrated the (first) final product with a launch party and networking event at MoZaic. Gilmore said the evening hosted about 25 women, a mixture of those involved in the project, family, friends and store regulars. With any luck, connections were made and even more local ladies will be teaming up in the name of entrepreneurship.

Who says there's nothing to do?
School is out for summer, and parents are likely already hearing that "there's nothing to do around here" from their kids. To that, we say, "Get out!"
No, seriously. Get out of the house. The South Hills – and the city of Pittsburgh – have so much to offer for everyone, no matter what age. There's no excuse to sit at home in front of the television or computer.
While we haven't had the best summer weather so far, the cooler temps are perfect for taking a bike ride on the Montour Trail. With the new bridges that cross Morganza Road in Cecil Township and more recently, the Valley Brook Bridge #1 that connects the Arrowhead Trail to the Montour Trail, it's easier and safer than ever to take a leisurely ride.
Summer camps and vacation Bible schools abound in the area. Need proof? Just check the pages of this paper for the information!
Local libraries offer a number of free programs for bookworms of all ages and levels as well. The libraries are vital assets to the community, and we encourage residents to take advantage of as much as they have to offer.
This weekend, the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum celebrates its 50th anniversary with a two-day series of events.
In the city, the Dollar Bank Pittsburgh Three Rivers Arts Festival continues with as much awesome art, live music and family-friendly activities as one can imagine. Why not take a ride in on The T, and take in different views of the suburbs while you are at it?
Fishing at Canonsburg Lake is always a great option, as is heading to one of the area's many parks to throw a frisbee, play on the playgrounds or just take a walk and have a picnic lunch. Mt. Lebanon offers free movies and live music in its Main Park. Speaking of free live music and parks, Canonsburg's Town Park also has a weekly concert series on Sunday evenings.
Upper St. Clair's Outdoor Classroom has a number of exciting educational classes to choose from, and we are fortunate to live in an area with a number of public swimming pools.
Coming up are Peters Township Community Day on June 29, North Strabane Community Day on June 22 and a number of Independence Day celebrations. The Washington County Fair takes place in August, and the Washington Wild Things season goes until September.
And all of that isn't even the tip of the iceberg.
So, turn off the computer, get off the couch, put the cell phone on silent and get out and enjoy the amazing community that we call home.

Mt. Lebanon pool renovations on schedule
With warmer weather around the corner, South Hills residents will soon be visiting area pools and water parks for relief from the summer sun. But in 2014, Mt. Lebanon residents won't have to travel far to beat the heat in style.
Mark Edelmann of EPM Architecture and Wayne Wade of Wade Associates appeared at the May 14 Mt. Lebanon Commissioners meeting to update commissioners and the public on renovations scheduled to take place at the Mt. Lebanon pool.
According to Edelmann and Wade, designs to the pool are on schedule and proceeding as planned, and the new-and-improved facility should be open for the 2014 summer season.
"We've received a lot of public comments and emails about what changes should be made to the pool," Edelmann said. "They're all good ideas."
Edelmann and Wade, along with Mt. Lebanon Recreation Director David Donnellan and Mt. Lebanon Engineer Dan Deiseroth, highlighted the plan to separate a pedestrian walkway from a service vehicle driveway.
"Service vehicles mixing with pedestrians is not a good idea," Deiseroth said. "We want to create a purely pedestrian access."
Donellan said the vehicle driveway will allow the concession stand to accept deliveries, as well as allow instructors and residents to drive supplies and coolers closer to the pool's entrance without posing a threat to those walking into the facility.
"We don't know in advance when those deliveries will occur, so this will help with that," Donnellan said.
Other plans to renovate the facility include expanding the concrete walkway and deck area surrounding the pool, building an overlook for the pool's surrounding recreational fields, making the bathhouse more accessible for people with disabilities, upgrading the plumbing and filtering systems, adding canopies and retractable umbrellas for shade, installing a climbing wall and a spray pool, and building a water slide. The pool will also become a gradual depth pool, where guests can walk into zero feet of water and see the water gradually rise as they walk into the pool. Nine lanes for competitive swimming will remain in place.
The entrance to the pool will be turned into an atrium with skylights and will have a new walkway that doesn't force guests to pass through the changing areas.
Employees of the pool will also see improvements to their work spaces. Edelmann and Wade plan to add a first aid room for life guards, a separate office for the Mt. Lebanon Aqua Club, a new mechanical office, new equipment in the filtration room and two new rooms for storage.
Edelmann said the project is within the $3.3 million budget, and construction is expected to start the day the pool closes in 2013 and will be completed by opening day in 2014.

Dual-action watering system keeps plant roots just moist enough without waterlogging them, and a water gauge tells you when to refill. Includes easy-fill funnel with cover and two styles of finials.

Santa Fe City Councilor Patti Bushee is running for mayor.
Either that or she's fortifying her legacy. Her handling of the Northwest Quadrant is indication enough of either. At a Monday, June 8 Public Works Department meeting, the councilor dramatically promised to introduce a doomed ordinance proclaiming the NWQ to be open space—and nothing but open space—forevermore. It's a token move aimed at killing approval of a master plan to develop a small portion of the city-owned property into a progressive, mixed-use affordable and workforce housing effort.
Other dramatic and candidacy-clueing cues on Bushee's part during the meeting included storming from her chair to physically smash to the floor a board demonstrating said master plan (seriously) and forcing staff to produce a remnant of the oft-disregarded-when-convenient "general plan" for city development. Bushee wanted to codify the notion of closing the Casa Solana neighborhood to undesirable traffic from Las Campanas, La Tierra, the proposed NWQ development and anything else that might wad up the panties of Bushee's more vocal voter base.
Then she begged off in the name of an important meeting. How was that "important" Laurie Anderson concert, Councilor? It's a small town, so it's hard to get away with such things, right? No slight to Bushee's taste—I'd have skipped out on Public Works for Anderson as well—but the point is that Santa Fe is a small town with tremendous potential and that potential should never be sacrificed for petty politics.
Not for petty bigotries, either.
When the city's Housing & Community Development Department presented a plan for developing the NWQ that indeed protected Casa Solana from undesirable traffic, opponents were caught off guard and quickly shifted their concerns to the proximity of affordable housing. "Concern" about affordable housing is, of course, code for fear that desperate, thieving meth-heads are about to become government-sponsored neighbors. Worse, they might not be white. But hey, I'm sure some of every American's best friends are at this point, shall we say, economically inconvenienced, if not melanin-advantaged.
Hopefully we can expect the wisdom of the council as a whole to look past at least those tropes of NIMBYism.
Besides, the plan for the NWQ calls for nearly equal amounts of affordable, workforce and market-rate housing. In other words, at the end of the day, it's destined to be a peaceful working-class neighborhood, not unlike Casa Solana itself in demographic terms.
Assuming opponents of NWQ development can learn not to fear the poor, their next greatest fear is that the current proposal to keep traffic out of their neighborhood will be a temporary measure, destined to fail in 10 to 15 years. They might be right, but such an outcome, too, is nothing to fear.
The current plan—against the advice of the Fire Department, which favors full connectivity—is to have two "opticon" gates between the development and the road that leads into Casa Solana. The gates will open for emergency vehicles equipped with the appropriate beacons and—maybe, if no one is too uptight about it—for school buses or public transit.
If opticon gates sound like something out of a bad sci-fi story, that's because they are. You've heard of gated communities? The new NWQ neighborhood would be a caged community, its inhabitants unable to drive into the adjacent neighborhood because of irrational fears, while the rest of the city is welcome to its trails and bicycle paths. I say irrational fears because the traffic impact analysis for NWQ development shows that 20 years from now, traffic levels would be similar to current levels on E. Palace Avenue or Camino del Monte Sol or Camino Cruz Blanca—real thoroughfares, those. That's leaving aside the likelihood that transportation as we know it is likely to be fundamentally different in 20 years.
But these red herrings aren't what should be on the minds of city councilors when they consider the NWQ at the Thursday, June 18 Planning Commission meeting or the full council meeting the following week.
Just as we at The Santa Fe Reporter, in looking back through 35 years of Santa Fe's history and our own, cannot help but look toward the next 35 years, the city's elected representatives have an obligation to consider the future, especially through the lens that comes with recent hindsight.
Having followed the public input process into the master plan for the NWQ, I can say it's something exceptional. It's not a new-urbanist fantasy or a Centex cookie-cutter wasteland. It's a people's plan—ingrained with a sense of sustainability, social justice and community—and it builds on the lessons of Tierra Contenta and the very best Santa Fe has to offer.
If the plan, and its cautious and responsible long-term, multi-phase implementation go forward, we'll have another cherished neighborhood in Santa Fe by the time anyone gets around to looking at whether the traffic studies were right, and we'll laugh at how stupid the opticon gates were.
Or, as usual, we could sacrifice vision for political infighting.

Bethel Park VFC topic continues to dominate council meetings
Bethel Park resident Carl Denson said he remembers watching the Bethel Park Volunteer Fire Company battle a house fire in his neighborhood in 1947.
"At that time they only had one truck," said Denson. "They had to call Castle Shannon to help them."
Denson said that over the years he has watched the small company grow and he admires the dedication and professionalism of the volunteer firefighters.
At the May 13 Bethel Park Council meeting, Denson urged residents to vote yes on a primary election referendum that will provide a .34 mill dedicated tax for the fire company.
"I support the fire department 102 percent," he said.
On Feb. 11, council voted to place the referendum question changing the home rule charter to enact the tax for the purpose of constructing a new fire station and to fund the annual operating costs of the 85-year-old fire company.
On Monday, council passed a resolution supporting the Bethel Park Volunteer Fire Company and praising the company for its dedication and service to the community.
The resolution did not mention the referendum for the dedicated fire tax, and, despite Council President Tim Moury's urging Councilman Don Harrison to support the resolution as a "gesture of good will." Harrison, who has been outspoken in his opposition to the referendum, refused to vote in favor of the resolution.
Harrison was the only member of the nine-member council who voted in opposition of the resolution.
The councilman has said that, while he supports the firefighters, he believes that council violated its own home rule charter. The vote took place on Feb. 11 and, according to Harrison, did not, per the home rule charter, become effective until March 13. However, the ordinance was submitted to the Allegheny Bureau of Elections on Feb. 13 to meet the Feb. 19 deadline for referendum questions to be place on the May 21 ballot.
Harrison contends this violated the home rule charter because the ordinance was not yet effective.
"I find it astounding that council has the gall to ask the public to vote for a change in the (home rule charter) on the May 21 ballot when council demonstrated by their action on Feb. 11 that they don't feel the need to abide by the (home rule charter)," Harrison said.
Members of council and of the fire company have said the change to the home rule charter, by a referendum supported by voters, is the only way to ensure that the fire service will have a dedicated funding source that can not be changed except by another referendum.
Councilman Jim McLean called the referendum "necessary, equitable, fair and limited, transparent and a decision of the people."
According to firefighters, donations from residents have fallen off and currently only about 35 percent of the residents and 10 percent of the businesses in the community contribute to the firefighters' fund drives.
The proposed tax would mean residents would pay $34 for every $100,000 in property value for the tax. The average house value in Bethel Park is estimated to be $142,000, according to Allegheny County assessments.
Firefighters, who have held two public meetings on the referendum, continue to lobby voters. Company members have placed signs throughout the community urging voters to vote yes.
Fire Company President Jeff Pritchard said voters will receive cards in the mail requesting their vote, and firefighters plan to be at the polling places on Tuesday to answer questions.
In addition, the fire company will be holding its annual open house from noon-4 p.m. May 19 at the Brightwood Road station. The event will include tours, demonstrations, fire prevention information, refreshments and activities for children.

An attorney for Public Regulation Commissioner Jerome Block Jr. and his father, Jerome Block Sr., says the duo probably won't turn up in First Judicial District Court for their May 11 arraignments.
As is generally the case, the Blocks will "in all likelihood" file a written arraignment waiver in which they will plead "not guilty," attorney Peter Schoenburg tells SFR.
Eight months ago, Attorney General Gary King promised that alleged campaign-finance violations by then-Public Regulation Commission candidate Jerome Block Jr. were a "front burner" issue for his office.
Now, the AG is holding the elected commissioner's feet to the fire.
On April 8, Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Saavedra secured eight criminal indictments against Block Jr. (plus four more against his father, Jerome Block Sr.) after summoning 12 witnesses before a Santa Fe grand jury.
The charges against Block Jr. include two election-code violations, three counts of conspiracy, two counts of embezzlement and one count of tampering with evidence. Block Sr. is charged with two counts of conspiracy, one election code violation and one charge of tampering with evidence.
At least some of the accusations—including a $2,500 embezzlement charge—stem from Block Jr.'s claim that he had paid San Miguel County Clerk Paul Maez' band, Wyld Country, to play an event the candidate later admitted never happened. Block Jr.'s campaign was funded with public dollars under New Mexico's Voter Action Act.
"Our position is that there was no intent to defraud," Schoenburg says. "This was a new statute that was poorly defined. The Secretary of State's Office was having trouble interpreting what the statute meant and giving out, at times, conflicting advice on what had to be reported and what didn't."
The Secretary of State's Office ultimately assigned Block Jr. more than $20,000 in administrative penalties for the Wyld Country affair and for a contribution his campaign made to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
Block also is accused of a second embezzlement charge of $1,700, which sources in the Secretary of State's Office say they did not know about until the indictments were filed.
So far, the Blocks' attorneys have received copies of the recorded testimonies before the grand jury. Schoenburg says his office is having the tapes transcribed before it reviews the testimony.
When they do, key testimony will likely come from Special Agent Don Jochem, a former FBI agent who works in the Attorney General's Government Accountability Division. Jochem has run the Block investigation for the AG since at least late October when he interviewed Las Vegas Optic Editor David Giuliani.
Jochem confirmed he is investigating the case but would not publicly disclose the details.
According to Giuliani, Jochem was most concerned with emails Block had sent first asserting the band had played, then admitting it hadn't.
"Remember when the [daily newspapers] were reporting that the Attorney General was considering looking into it? [The AG team] came here shortly afterward," Giuliani, who was also subpoenaed to authenticate the emails, tells SFR. "Jochem came over within a week before the election. He asked a bunch of questions, focusing mainly on the emails."
However, in many cases, Block's campaign spokesman Jonathan Valdez authored the emails. Indeed, when SFR first investigated the $2,500 contribution [Outtakes, Aug. 20, 2008: "Audit Right There"], Valdez told SFR via email: "Wyld Country is a well-known band and was paid for services rendered."
Valdez and Maez were both summoned to court, but neither was charged in the case. The same goes for Jacob Martinez, Block's campaign treasurer, who signed the $2,500 check to Maez. Martinez confirmed to SFR that he testified before the grand jury.
In addition, paid campaign employee Larry Lujan, who works for the PRC as a financial analyst, also received a subpoena. The PRC launched an internal inquiry into Lujan's political activity after the Albuquerque Journal revealed he had made calls to Block during work hours using his state cell phone. PRC Administrative Services Director Juan Rios tells SFR Lujan repaid the PRC $38.34 for the "personal calls" and gave up 10.6 hours of vacation time.
The AG also summoned Deputy Secretary of State Don Francisco Trujillo, SOS Ethics Administrator Tracey Littrell and Wyld Country singer Simon Balkey to court.
Three other individuals, whose roles have yet to be identified, also appear on the witness list: Isaac Jaramillo, Briana Garcia and Paul Smith.
Correction: Paul Maez was incorrectly identified in the original version of this article on the grand jury indictments of Jerome Block Jr. and Sr. Maez is county clerk for San Miguel County. SFR regrets the error.

CANONSBURG – A Canonsburg Borough policy that restricts Independence Day paradegoers from staking out their spot along the sidewalk with chairs more than two days in advance is in effect for the first year – but it hasn't dampened any spirits yet.
Although chairs were spotted on sidewalks as early as June 22 before last year's July 4 parade, Canonsburg Mayor David Rhome said that so far, residents have abided by the new chair-decluttering resolution.
"Up to this point, the people have been very respectful to the ordinance that's been put in place," he said. "I think they've accepted it. Have they adjusted? We won't know that until 48 hours before the parade."
Canonsburg Council voted 6-3 last October to implement the policy regulating the tradition of using chairs to save parade-watching spots. The ordinance states that chairs cannot be placed along sidewalks until 6 a.m. July 2. Any violation of the policy will result in the chairs being removed and taken to the borough's public safety garage, where they can be retrieved by their owners.
The measure was a response to safety concerns last year, like chairs being blown into oncoming traffic and chairs that were taped, chained or strung together, creating an obstacle course for pedestrians.
Rhome stressed that the new policy was strictly "for the safety of the community."
The policy was also a compromise made with local residents after a Facebook page created last year called "Save the Canonsburg parade chairs" prompted debate.
The 51st annual parade will still maintain its proud chair tradition. The chair decorating contest will again be held, with prizes will be awarded on July 3 to the "most patriotic" and "most original" decorative chairs along the parade route.
The July 4 celebration will also feature the 29th annual Whiskey Rebellion 5K race in the morning, swimming, rock climbing, musical entertainment and skydivers.
Chris Mary, former head coach of Canon-McMillan High School's state champtionship wrestling team, will be the grand marshal for the parade.
The evening will conclude at 9:30 p.m. with fireworks produced by Pyrotecnico, weather permitting. If it rains, fireworks will be set off July 6.
