Union contract ends widow's part-time jobs

8/31/2015

 
Picture
    Ginny Rineer will lose one of her part-time jobs next month.
    The second will go in October and the third, and final, one will end at Christmas.
    The 79-year-old widow's contract jobs cleaning small rural post offices have fallen victim to a union contract.
    That contract, between the U.S. Postal Service and the American Postal Workers Union, will have union clerks cleaning the offices rather than have the service performed by an outside contractor.

    The school has added six new printers that can turn computer-aided designs into three dimensional objects.

Bart's roadmaster to retire

8/14/2015

 
Picture
    On Christmas Day 2015, Ned Trout will turn 65.
    Six days later he will retire as Bart Township's roadmaster.
    "I'm going to enjoy winter now," he said.
    Until this year, winter has been his worst season.
    "I don't mind doing the work, I always just wanted to know when it had to be done," he said. "If they called for snow, I'd get up and look out the window several times a night. That meant I had to come to work tired."
    This past winter added a new challenge to the usual snow and ice, he said.

Golden anniversary for the Golden Mules

8/10/2015

    What started as a way to recruit distance runners for the school's track team has become one of Solanco's most successful sports.
    "I did it to create interest in the running program," said former coach Lee Rhoads of the start of the school's cross country program.
    The first year, 1965, cross country was a club, he recalled.
    "The school district wanted to be sure there was an interest in it before they committed to making it a varsity sport."
    That happened in 1966, when about half the schools in Lancaster County had cross country teams.
