update on Dakota's project

Hutchinson, a member of Ligonier Boy Scout Troop 372, is in the process of earning his Eagle Scout rank by creating a registry of military veterans' graves at the cemetery.
Hutchinson hopes to ensure that volunteers for the American Legion Byers-Tosh Post 267 in Ligonier can place American flags on the graves of all military veterans on significant holidays.
"It's going pretty well so far. We have about a third of the cemetery covered," Hutchinson said.

learned survival skills in Ligonier

It's a memoir that details wartime experiences -- including the love, friendship, loyalties and betrayals -- and their psychological effect on him in civilian life, said his younger sister, Doris Schnippert, a retired art teacher from Pine City.
"He was trained to kill as a soldier and then asked to befriend the Japanese," Doris said. "It was very difficult for him."
Roland attributes his survival skills to his upbringing in Ligonier, Pa., a tiny town in the western part of the state where he learned to hunt, fish and appreciate the wilderness with his father, uncles and cousins. They taught him to watch for silhouettes, which helped him in combat.

Does anybody really know what day it is? Help?

liar liar pants on fire!

Liberal House Democrats are intent on stripping language from just-passed House health care legislation that would block most federal funding of abortion.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fa., told reporters on Monday that she will fight to make sure it is not included in a final compromise bill merged together by the House and Senate.

"I would expect that the Senate bill would not include that language because of the dynamic in the Senate are quite a bit different," Wasserman Schultz said. "I intend to push very hard to ensure that the language is not included in the final product."

What's this called?

The president made it clear last night that he's not comfortable with the last-minute language inserted in the health care bill that would prohibit women from using subsidies to buy an insurance plan that covers abortions. Obama said that while no one is trying to "change what is the principle that has been in place for a very long time, which is federal dollars are not used to subsidize abortions," it's also important to make sure that "we're not restricting women's insurance choices."  Read more in Slate. 

It's called speaking out of both sides of your mouth.

Abortion is a complex political issue.  You can be pro-choice without forcing those who oppose abortion to subsidize it with their tax dollars.  This is a compromise that has worked.

The entire idea of federalizing our healthcare is fraught with these types of conflicts and it will only get worse.  Dear heavens, where are we headed?  Stop it while we still can, please.

Good morning, Ligonier!

I highly recommend getting into and trying it out. You'll only be pleasantly surprised if your intimidated! Or just get back into it. Namaste!

wood-burner in the Township

I read the article in the Latrobe Bulletin today and all I can say is THANK HEAVENS Keith Whipkey is running the show.  He said, according to this article, "Problems that result from use of burners are neighbor disputes and are best handled by the courts."

Paul Laposky was given his day in court and he chose NOT to attend, thereby losing the case by default.
Case closed.

This is a classic case of a special interest attempting to restrict the liberty of many for the preferences of the few.

If you don't like the smell of smoke, don't move to the country.

If you don't like the sound of gunfire, don't move to the country.

If you don't like the smell of manure, don't move to the country.

etc. etc. etc.

gearing up for the Civil War's 150th anniversary.

I noted while recompiling my family tree this weekend that I have at least one family member who served in the Civil War.  He was Jefferson Lewellyn and he served in the army, 102nd infantry, company C.  Any Civil War buffs out reading who can point me in the right direction to learn more?

Tom Bitner of Ligonier, a member of the Ligonier Valley Civil War Roundtable, said today Americans know only a few of the most prominent people involved in the Civil War. So many others, including some who were well-known in their time, have been lost to history. Their stories, Bitner said, need to be dusted off and retold.  Read more in the Tribune Review.

I hit the ancestry.com jackpot!!

First, once again thanks to Andrew McAllister for spurring me back into the family tree project.  Ancestry.com has better tools than it did a few years back and so I'm making all kinds of connections.  I spent most of yesterday and today compiling over 450 names, most of which I had collected over five years ago.  What's really exciting me is this book excerpt.  It's a wealth of family data and gives Hubby his Irish and Scottish roots.  This is so exciting.

Good morning, Ligonier!

art

I like the comedy and tragedy masks that were donated to the Ligonier Theater.  I have a hard time appreciating the beauty, however, because my eye is constantly interrupted by the plaque so closely mounted to the mask.  Good thing Medici didn't feel the need for plaques.

saw "Out of the Ground" last night

and have been hip deep in my family tree project all day.  Thank you Andy for getting me back on this!!!

Great film.
