Knoebels Amusement Resort: A One-of-a-Kind Park
By Lloyd S. Wagner
A tribute to earlier times with all the excitement of today's attractions
Relaxing. Traditional. Comfortable. Such words are seldom associated with an amusement park, but perfectly appropriate for Knoebels Amusement Resort located in Elysburg, Pennsylvania. It's America's largest free-admission park.
If the thought of an amusement park makes your feet ache and your budget blister, consider Knoebels. This award-winning, family-owned and -oriented park, nestled in a cool, shaded grove, is proof that thrilling rides and endless amusement need not come with certain pains.
Let's start with those admission booths, where a quick head count is multiplied by a large dollar amount. At Knoebels, there are no admission booths – just stroll in and look around – and parking is free. Amusements are purchased individually, using tickets bought at kiosks throughout the park. This means that children pay only for children's rides, thrill seekers pay for thrill rides and no one pays for the pleasure of watching. For die-hard ride fanatics, the all-day, pay-one-price admission is available too—some rides excepted.
Knoebels maintains an ever-increasing stable of world-class amusement rides, from award-winning thrill rides, such as the roller coasters and Power Surge, to nostalgic favorites, like the classic bumper cars, the Italian trapeze and the exquisite Grand Carousel.
Rides are continually being added. New in 2008 was Flying Turns, the park's re-creation of a classic thrill ride that was popular in the early 20th century. Built by local carpenters and craftsmen, this ride is best described as a wooden bobsled run with freewheeling cars racing through a wooden trough without any track or guide.
In total, there are 55 rides: 19 kiddie rides, 19 family rides and 17 thrill rides. To complement this collection, Knoebels offers an array of other attractions and amusements, including a bald eagle habitat, XD Theatre, carousel and mining museums, and an 18-hole golf course. Live entertainment can be found at both the band shell and Roaring Creek Saloon.
Not Typical Theme Park
All this might suggest vast acreage and much hiking, which is not the case. Rather than being built on a pre-selected, "conveniently located" site along some barren stretch of interstate highway, Knoebels grew up where it stands and its location is an attraction in and of itself.
The Knoebels story originates with the Reverend Henry Hartman Knoebel, who bought the grove along with its surrounding farmland for $931 in 1828. His son, H.H. Knoebel, or "Old Hen'" was first to see the recreational potential of the property once known as Peggy's Farm.
By the turn of the century, Knoebel's farm had become a destination for Tally-Hos, or weekend hayrides. Visitors would come to cool off by the creek, picnic in the woods and swim. More daring visitors were known to jump from the covered bridge into the swimming hole below.
Henry Knoebel soon capitalized on this traffic, first charging to care for visitors' horses, but soon adding picnic tables, a lifeguard and refreshments. In time, people began leasing land and building summer cottages here as well. Some of these early cottages survived the years and have been incorporated into the park, such as the Old Mill Ice Cream stand. The formal beginning of what is now Knoebels Amusement Resort came in 1926, with the opening of the swimming pool and first restaurant.
Carousels And Covered Bridges
A steam-powered carousel operated by Philadelphian Joe Gallagher became the resort's first ride and the beginning of a beloved tradition. Both of the current carousels, the Grand Carousel and the Spanish Bambini, have long histories. The 27-ton Grand Carousel was brought to Knoebels in 1942, having been built in 1913 by George Kremer. Its 63 wooden horses and three chariots were carved by Charles Carmel; and its two musical organs were manufactured in Germany, the larger of the two in 1888, the smaller in 1900.
The smaller carousel was created in Brooklyn, New York, by Stein and Goldstein between 1912 and 1918. First purchased by the Knoebels in the 1940s, it was sold in the 1950s, only to be repurchased and restored in 1975. Its organ is the same instrument that accompanied Joe Gallagher's carousel in 1926. After 50 years in storage, the carousel was restored and played again in 1986.
Perhaps as treasured as the carousels, are Knoebels' trademark covered bridges. Though the earliest of these was replaced by the highway department in 1940, two of them remain. The oldest dates to 1875 and leads into an adjacent Knoebels campground. Though damaged in a 1972 flood, which inundated the park, the repaired bridge remains in use.
The second is the pedestrian bridge spanning Roaring Creek, in the heart of the park. Though relatively new, it was built in 1975, it too contains a little history. Its 51-foot-long roof timbers were hand-hewn in 1865 to be part of the Berninger Grist Mill, which operated just a few miles from the park.
Respite Among Trees
Despite its extraordinary growth from humble beginnings, Knoebels retains its rustic charm. Seen from the air, most of the current operation remains hidden by shading, old growth trees. This is a deliberate choice on the part of the park's family owners. The original plans for the park's flume ride were rejected because they would have required removing too many of the trees. The final plans saved 50 percent of those trees.
The surroundings make for a cool, relaxed atmosphere that is strong enough to overcome the urge to rush from ride to ride. Coupled with plentiful seating and abundant refreshments, a day at Knoebels is more invigorating than tiring.
Surrounding Sights
Within 25 miles of Knoebels there are 15 campgrounds and no shortage of sights to see for visitors to the Elysburg area. Though predominantly a combination of rolling farmland and lush forest, Columbia and Northumberland counties, which the park straddles, offer a surprising array of attractions.
Nearby Bloomsburg is a charming college town, featuring shops, galleries, a children's museum and the nationally recognized Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble, staging productions for all ages year-round. Rickett's Glen State Park, in nearby Benton, is one of Pennsylvania's most scenic parks, boasting more than 13,000 acres spread across three counties, with a series of waterfalls as the park's centerpiece.
Some unexpected animal life can also be found nearby. Columbia Creek Farm in Bloomsburg breeds Peruvian alpacas, selling clothing woven from their premium wool, and Broken Wheel Ranch in Elysburg raises American bison. Tours are available, but call ahead, as both are working operations. Rolling Hills Farm in Catawissa, featuring red deer, offers educational tours in May through November. Clyde Peeling's Reptile Land in Allenwood has been entertaining and educating visitors since 1964.
Knoebels' central location makes it an ideal starting point for day-trippers. An hour's drive puts one in the Pocono Mountains, home to countless resorts and attractions. Also close by, Lancaster and the Pennsylvania Dutch country or the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area host many historical locations, such as Steamtown National Historical Site, home of the nation's foremost collection of steam locomotives, and the Lackawanna County Coal Mine, where visitors travel 300 feet below the earth. A similar attraction, the Pioneer Tunnel Coal Mine in Ashland, Pennsylvania, features an operating steam train. This area is also home to Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, offering casino gaming, harness racing and world-class dining.
Baseball fans might want to catch either the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, the New York Yankees' Triple A affiliate; or the Williamsport Crosscutters, the Philadelphia Phillies' Class A affiliate. Better known as the home of Little League Baseball, Williamsport hosts the Little League World Series every August, an event everyone should see at least once in a lifetime.
So on your next trip, a visit to the traditional, comfortable and relaxing amusement park will reward you with contrasting pleasures.

The Emery County Commission approved supporting the proposal to expand Goblin Valley State Park. Ed Geary the chairman of the public lands council said state parks is proposing to expand Goblin Valley. Ray Petersen, public lands director displayed a copy of a map with the expanded area outlined.
The expansion would encompass 136,000 acres making it among the largest state parks. The expanded park falls within the Emery County land use policy in the San Rafael Mining District.
Geary pointed out their main concern is in protecting existing uses mainly recreation and livestock grazing in the area. The expanded area includes Crack Canyon Wilderness Study area as well as other popular hiking and ATV trails. The entire area contains several grazing allotments. The public lands council sees some clear advantages to having the area within a state park. Recreational use in that area continues to rise and there are lost hikers, user created trails and campsites. The state parks would impose a user fee for the area and those fees would stay within the state park for improvements including toilets, picnic tables and campgrounds. There would be more state park employees in the area managing the area from the ground instead of from the BLM office 100 miles away.
Geary said the public lands council is working with the grazers to make sure they will not be injured in any park expansion.
Mistie Christiansen, lands council member provided a map of how the grazing permits relate to that area. Christiansen said the grazers want to be an active part of the process as it moves forward.
Commissioner James Nelson said the expanded state park might even address some of the issues grazers have with people camping around the watering holes for cattle and displacing the cows. Geary said they would like to see a level of management equal to the use in that area.
Any camping done in state parks pays into the Transient Room Tax which is dispersed to the Emery County Travel Bureau for allocation on various tourism projects within the county.
The Emery County Commissioners voted to support further study and action concerning the expansion of Goblin Valley State Park.
Tim Smith from the state parks explained there are two different paths for acquiring the now Bureau of Land Management land for the expansion of Goblin Valley. One would be to include the proposal within Cong. Rob Bishop's land use bill he is working on with Cong. Jason Chaffetz's office. This action would transfer the ownership of the land from Bureau of Land Management to state land. This process would require Congressional approval.
The other process could include a working partnership with the BLM where the state parks would manage the recreational use of the land. The BLM would continue to manage the wild horse and burros and the grazing management. To proceed in this manner would require a memorandum of understanding between the BLM and the state parks.
The process could be handled within the Price Field Office with approval from the state BLM office.
Smith said this arrangement would enhance the protection and add amenities to the area including rest rooms, picnic tables and camping. This Goblin Valley expansion will have no impact on tax payers. User fees would be used to improve the area. Smith said state parks is excited to partner with the BLM to enhance the economics of this area. TRT taxes are paid by state park visitors as well as a county sales tax which would increase the flow of money back into the county.
Smith said the number of visitors to this region has more than doubled in the last four years and to date visitors in 2014 is more than 2013. Impacts are made to the area on very busy weekends and every campsite is taken and people flow over into other areas.
Improvements could also be made to the trail head area at Little Wild Horse Canyon and opportunities for camping in the area could expand.

Skip to comments.Republican Rep. C.W. Bill Young has passed away (Florida Republican)
Posted on 10/18/2013 5:42:50 PM PDT by shortstop
Republican Rep. C.W. Bill Young, Florida's longest-serving member of Congress has passed away.
On Thursday, the family of the 82-year-old lawmaker said that he was gravely ill.
Young's family released the following statement Friday:
"U.S. Rep. C.W. Bill Young (FL-13) passed away this evening at The Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in the company of his family. The cause of death was complications related to a chronic injury. Information on services will be forthcoming."
Young was influential on military spending during his 43 years in Washington, and in October announced his decision to retire.
In recent years, Young had become increasingly frail and relied on a wheelchair. He was quoted by the Tampa Bay Times as saying that his decision was based on both his health and a desire to spend more time with his family.
Young had been seeking treatment at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C., due to back problems that stemmed from a 1970 small-plane crash.
After Young made his announcement to retire, praise of his service from his fellow Florida politicians emerged.
"Congressman Bill Young is an American patriot," tweeted former Republican Gov. Jeb Bush. "We appreciate his service!"
Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio praised Young for his support for the military. "No one has fought harder for the servicemen and women in this country and for returning veterans than Bill and his wife, Beverly," wrote Rubio in a news release.
Said U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, a Democrat: "He was always someone who approached solutions in a bipartisan way. He will be missed."
Young's term in office was slated to end next year.
Young was born in Harmarville, Pa., and later moved to Indian Shores, Fla., a small Gulf Coast community in Pinellas County.
He served in the Army National Guard from 1948 to 1957, then became an aide to U.S. Rep. William Cramer from 1957 to 1960. From 1961 to 1971, he served in the Florida Senate.
He was first elected to the U.S. House in 1970. Young and his wife, Beverly, have three children. His son, Bill Young II, has expressed interest in the past in running for office.
The congressman was a longtime member of the House Appropriations Committee, where he focused on military spending. He and his wife frequently visited ailing service members at hospitals in the Washington area.
As one of the strongest defense hawks in Congress, Young made headlines in 2012 when he said the United States should withdraw its forces from Afghanistan.
Young told The Associated Press at the time that "we're killing kids who don't need to die," and reflected the growing weariness with a conflict that had dragged on for more than a decade.
Young brought hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarks back to the Tampa Bay area, and built up a defense contracting industry in the region, creating jobs and stirring the economy.
May he rest in eternal peace.
This seat likely goes to the Democrats.
Sounds like he made his life count for something besides "self." RIP, Bill Young.
Rest well Sir
I'm not so sure. it is a toss up seat and if the younger Young runs for it that just might be enough to keep it in the family and in the party. He had a very popular brand. But any way you were a good man Bill Young rest in peace. This district has had only two congressmen since 1950.
|Barack Obama 52% - Mitt Romney 46%[3]
|John McCain 52% - Barack Obama 47%
|George W. Bush 56% - John Kerry 43%
|George W. Bush 53% - Al Gore44%
1955. It was the first district in Florida to elect a Republican since Reconstruction.
No disrespect to Young, but the political class needs to be culled via Term Limits.
It's high time DC is put in check by the States.
The only viable strategy going forward is to wage class war against the parasite class and target the Washingtonians from both parties that are entrenched in safe Districts.
Of course, the propagandist press must be dealt with.
Putin in Russia just shoots any "reporter" that gets out of line.
The CPUSA here is firmly entrenched in the media and supports the domestic marxists 1000%.
They are enjoying salad days, but their time of reckoning is fast approaching.
ROFL Yes I notice that too. Not sure maybe it is a sign I suppose.
Would you have said that about James Madison?
If term limits worked, California would have a responsible legislature. Instead, it has become a revolving door for nameless lobbyists without a care for the public because they need a job on the way out.
It didn't work.
I worked his campaign the same year I worked Reagan's back in the '80's and got to meet him. He was a good man. He had already announced his retirement so it was going to be an open seat. Now, Gov. Rick Scott can appoint his replacement which should give an advantage.
I knew Congressman Young,
He was a very humble and genital soul that walked the halls of power as the peoples servant, a true republican in the strictest since of the word; for the public, for his people, Pinellas County, the state of Florida and the United States of America.
He will be missed by his constituents, and I will miss him.
So true!
Sorry,but he has to call special election . He can only appoint someone to replace a Senator. He still has no lieutenant governor.
House members are never appointed. Scott must call a special election.
We just got re-districted into his territory. He seemed like a good guy, but that's way too long for anyone to spend on the hill.
He is a perfect example of why we need term limits.
Watched Shep break into Greta's show with news of his death. It was really weird because they made zero mention that he was Republican. Not even in the graphics with his name and title. Didn't quite get that.
He should have been retired 10 years ago at least.
It's BS to have 82 year olds voting on laws that effect millions of citizens.
We need a forced retirement age and term limits.
- Washington and Jefferson warned us -
- DC is Party Central forever
- Harry s Truman pushed the button twice and drove home
- Our wars should be the opposite of WWII
- Bomb first drive home
"He was a very humble and genital soul .."
I'd recommend you use spell check in the future to make sure you know what you're typing.
Lotsa lotsa methods
but no God
That is a FAIL.
RIP Rep. Young
Romney was unelectable.
a friend who usually votes conservative but who is not political, stayed home. not because Romney was not conservative enough...because as he said " who do you want me to vote for? Donald Duck?"
ordinary people stayed home in droves as did those who would not vote for another moderate (I'm being kind...ok liberal) RINO(yes...I'm being redundant on purpose)
I guess they were really hot on Romney back in 2012. Quite a contrast from previous elections.
Those numbers are incorrect. The ones from before 2012 are from the old Sarasota-based FL-13 (the CDs were renumbered in 2012). And in 2012 Obama carried the FL-13 by only 50.1% to 48.6%. http://m.dailykos.com/story/2012/11/19/1163009/-Daily-Kos-Elections-presidential-results-by-congressional-district-for-the-2012-2008-elections
This will be a very competitive special election. If Young's widow, Beverley, runs (she said prior to her husband's death that if her husband's 2012 Dem opponent, Jessica Ehrlich, ran in 2014 , that she would run against her), and I would think that the widow would clear the GOP field for the special and beat the Democrat (even 2012 Dem gubernatorial nominee Alex Sink, who, like Ehrlich, announced a 2014 run last week). But if Beverley Young doesn't run, the GOP has a pretty good announced candidate in former state rep Larry Crow. There's also an openly gay, carpetbagging RINO named Nick Zoller who is seeking the seat—the guy moved to FL just a couple of years ago and he brags about working on the campaigns to elect or reelecti Lisa Murkowski, Saxby Chambliss and Scott Brown to the Senate (I guess that he was too busy to help out Susan Collins or Mark Kirk). So if the widow doesn't run, Crow should be the man (barring someone else jumping in).
BTW, I already fixed the 2012 presidential results for FL-13 on Wikipedia (which I assume was your source). Wikipedia had mistakenly used the 52%-46% 2012 results for Pinellas County as a whole instead of using the 50%-49% results for FL-13. The Associated Press also reported the 52-46 numbers, and the New York Times ran the AP's story, so it appears that the MSM get their information from Wikipedia!
Yes, running the widow or the same-named son might be the best bet. The excitement Dems have had of taking this seat should be squelched. It is, at best for the Dems, marginal, and remains FL's premier historic GOP district (since 1955, albeit with modifications and much smaller in area). Zero barely carried it against a weak (ringer) opponent, and it appears more comfortable with Republicans locally.
Having read this article, I learned a bit more about her. I didn't realize this was his second wife, and she's only 57. She's already a fiery veterans activist and could jump into the seat and hit the ground running. She'd immediately become one of our most colorful members.
That figures! It's hard not to, you have to remind yourself that anyone can edit it and put incorrect information.
Fun fact, the new most senior Republican in the House is Alaska's Don Young, who also hasn't lived up to his surname in several decades. He's followed by WI's Sensenbrenner and Petri. They are the only 3 left who entered in the 70's. All 3 should go. With all the talk of primarying Senators, how about some House members.
Re: CW Young, "She said she knew her husband had been having a tough time coping with painful back ailments that over the years have cut his 6-foot-2 frame down to 5-foot-8."
Yikes! I didn't know that was possible. The widow sounds "colorful", yes.
We are already primarying 3 House members.
Adam Kinziner - Illinois
Pete Sessions - Texas
Mike Simpson - Idaho
You're right, we need to primary a lot of them, however Don Young is likely as entrenched as Boehner. He's a RINO to the worst degree of course. He actually endorsed Mazie Hirono in the Hawaii senate race, but unfortunately Alaska's politics are 90% controlled by Blagojevich-esque thugs like Murkowski, so I think he's here to stay.
Jo Bonner retired in Alabama, so it is imperative to get a Tea Party guy in there.
Other RINOS we really have to target.
Greg Walden - Oregon
Rick Crawford - Arkansas
Frank Lucas - Oklahoma
Steve Palazzo - Mississippi
Martha Roby - Alabama
Larry Bucshon - Indiana
Renee Elmers - North Carolina
Aaron Schock - Illinois (This one is crucial)
I would also like primary challenges to emerge for Peter King, the most despicable scum in the House, and Scott Riggell of Virginia who is a class A RINO.
In addition, we have Tom Cotton, Bill Cassidy, Phil Gingrey, Paul Broun, and Jack Kingston (mega-RINO), vacating their seats in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Georgia. That's 5 more Tea Party opportunities.
If Danies runs in Montana (looks all but certain), there is another seat. Capito is running for senate in West Virginia. Another seat.
2014 is a BIG opportunity year.
" He actually endorsed Mazie Hirono in the Hawaii senate race"
I know, WTH? Is he sleeping with her or something?
He held on by only 300 or so votes in the 2008 primary when Sean Parnell opposed him, there was also a third candidate that got about 9%, I don't know who she took more votes from. He can be beaten.
Elmers? Crawford? Those surprise me.
In IL the 13th district is best opportunity, establishment Republican Rodney Davis who was appointed to the GOP nomination last time when when incumbent dropped out, faces his first primary and is opposed by conservative former Miss America Erika Harold.
Who is running against Kinzinger? Politics1 lists no primary challengers. I'd also like to see him go, I backed Don Manzullo in the last primary, a shame we lost him, low key backbencher type but a solid voting record.
She does sound like she is something else—but the fact that she had been his secretary when he dumped his first wife and married her is a big black mark on both of them. Too long in Washington.
She was 30, he was 55.
Crawford has a rating in the mid 50s from conservative groups. From Arkansas, that's unacceptable.
Elmers does a bit better, usually over 60, but I think we can improve on that (a shame, as I do think she's a nice woman).
I ABSOLUTELY 100% agree on Rodney Davis. 44% from Heritage? Pathetic. Erika Harold would get a far higher rating. I am also biased toward her because she's a bombshell, and I hate the GOP establishment in Illinois who are backing Davis.
Kinzinger is being primaried by David Hale, a Tea Party activist who started the Rockford Tea Party. He's notable as the guy who outed Wisconsin lawmakers who fled the state during the recall showdown.
Manzullo was far more conservative than Kinzinger, who had to run for that seat when Illinois' districts got redrawn. He captured the seat in a fluke. Above all else, Kinzinger is a FRAUD. He rode the Tea Party wave, cashing in on the brand, and then became a huge RINO who has Obama on speed-dial. He's a McLame knock-off and a bad one at that.
As for that dirtbag in Alaska, he has been there since 1973!!! He took the seat from Nick Begich who died in a plane crash (I know, Mark's dad and the guy whose senate seat he took both died in plane crashes. Weird)
He fended off a challenge from Nick's wife, and has survived several challenges from Democrats and Republicans since. Notable, in his close call in 2008 against Parnell (a win of 304 votes) he was helped by Mike Huckabee.
He won his last primary with 79% of the vote.
This guy has locked down the Alaska establishment behind him. The Corrupt Bastard's Club essentially leeches off the kickbacks he brings home. That money for Alaskan fisheries in the Hurricane Sandy bill? Don Young had his hand in that.
He's a dirty, slick crook just like Murkowski. I fear he'll have that seat until his death.
That might've mattered years ago, not so much today, and that they were married for almost 3 decades does tend to count for something. As I've mused on many times, DC is a terrible place for married couples (worse if they have children) to be, at least those married prior to their spouses being in politics. The pre-DC wives tend to get sick of it real fast, because the men have to decide whether they want their career or to go back home (a demand Bob Dole's first wife made). Before long, many of them end up in affairs with their staffers or even marrying them after divorcing wife #1.
I'm often bemused by some running for Congress showing off their nice families, as so many have no idea what they're in for. You're better off going there single, and if you're lucky, you'll marry someone "in the biz" that shares similar interests (and even better, if they work in their office to keep an eye on hubby). ;-)
AFAIK Parnell has been Don Young's only "real" primary challenger in some time, some nobody isn't gonna beat him, not in Alaska. Suckabee endorsed him in that race? What a doofus.
David Hale sounds promising, I emailed that fruit who runs politics1.com and told him to add him. Kinzinger was disappointing, yes.
In addition, did you know that Tom Coburn backed Joe Manchin in West Virginia? I just read that today. What an eccentric tool.
I'm really hoping we'll see a Senator Bridenstine when the doc retires in 2016.
As for Aaron Schock, he always struck me as weird and untrustworthy. His "sane caucus" comment really pissed me off.
Schock sucks up to Peter King. He's a loser.
Petey has about 5 die-hard followers. He rules his own pathetic little fiefdom in the House and Schock is his crown-polisher.
Yes I remember that. Coburn has gone completely off the rails, and he would have been the last guy I expected to. Potomac fever, or just too many close friendships with swine (he was buddy buddy with Obama), maybe early senility. I don't know what happened but it's disgusting.
Schock is one of the premier federal Combiners. I think he's being groomed as a Senate replacement at some point. I also believe he is a closet job. Getting this guy out on reason #1 alone is worth doing.
Who knows ? Perhaps the establishment has dirt on Coburn. It's clear that in most instances, the longer you stay in DC, the more you get assimilated. When that much power, money, influence are at stake... If Satan had a home anywhere in the U.S., it would be in DC.
For the record, Mark Levin on the Schockster.
Rep. Kinzinger has a conservative primary opponent, David Hale, an officer of the Rockford Tea Party.

Germantown girls softball
The Warhawks took control of the North Shore Conference race with a dramatic, 5-4, win over archrival Homestead on May 1.
Germantown (7-0 in NSC play and 10-4) overall, which followed that win with a 9-0 NSC triumph over Cedarburg on May 3 and a 6-5 loss to nonconference foe Arrowhead on May 4, hosts Milwaukee Lutheran at 7 p.m. Thursday. It is one of three league tilts for the Warhawks this week.
"This is always a good game," co-coach Amy Barbiaux said of the Homestead tilt. "They got the better of us in the sectional last year (to go to state), but we were fortunate this time around.
"It's always a big game."
Germantown had a 4-1 lead in that game before the Highlanders rallied for three runs in the fourth off winning pitcher Lauren Renard (five strikeouts and one walk). It remained that way into the eighth, until Amanda Witzlib got on with an infield single and then advanced to second on an overthrow to first.
She was bunted over to third by Alexa Bechler and when Erika Swoboda hit a long fly-out to right-center, Witzlib was able to score the winning run easily.
Germantown got eight hits off veteran Highlanders pitcher Rachel Behnken (10 strikeouts and one walk). Erika Berry had a big home run for the Warhawks.
In the win over Cedarburg, the Warhawks took advantage of 10 walks and a seven-run sixth to cruise past the Bulldogs. Witzlib got the start this game and struck out seven against three walks.
Germantown had a 4-0 lead against Classic 8 Conference leader Arrowhead (9-2), but Arrowhead finished off a rally with a three-run sixth to squeak out the win.
Menomonee Falls girls softball
Despite an unexpected loss to Brookfield East at the start of the week, the Indians remained in a tie for first in the Greater Metro.
Falls (6-1 in league and 9-3 overall) remains tied with West Allis Hale. The Indians hosts Sussex Hamilton (5-1, 7-2) in a critical GMC game at 4:15 p.m. Thursday and visits Arrowhead at 4:30 p.m. Friday.
The Indians beat Hamilton in a wild, 18-13, affair recently and Falls coach Wendy Wolff is looking for a cleaner game this time around.
Falls split a pair of games on Saturday at the Wilmot Invite, falling to Bay Port, 3-2, and beating New Berlin West, 6-3.
"Those were two quality teams and good tests for us," Wolff said. "We also got everyone a chance to play and in pressure situations."
Falls did defeat Brookfield Central, 5-2, on May 3, behind Nikki Festge's eight strikeouts and two walks as Rachel Kemnitz knocked in two runs and Nicole Weggen and Kelly Berglund had two hits apiece.
Berglund got the win in relief in the eight-inning West contest as she also had two hits and two RBIs. Bay Port scored three times in the third, and then held the Indians off as Festge (four strikeouts and four walks) took the loss.
Menomonee Falls boys track
The Indians continued to move forward, earning firsts in the 400-meter and 800 sprint relays in taking third in the Greater Metro Conference Relays on May 2.
"A very good day," Indians coach Bobby Regent-Smith said. "We were competitive across the board."
The Indians hosted the Ron Burling Invitational (named after the late boys track coach and Falls Hall of Famer) on Tuesday and now prepare for the Greater Metro Conference Outdoor at Brookfield East on May 15.
Falls scored 74 points for its spot in the relays as defending state champion Brookfield East won with 109.
The 400 team of Christian Almonte, Bryce Bradford, Nate Boehler and Matt Christensen won in a season-best of 43.92; while the sprint medley crew of Almonte, Boehler, Ayola Olapo and Christensen claimed a win in 1:36.07.
A second went to 1,600 relay team of Christensen, Adam Vechart, Mike Van Alstyne and I.J. Bullock (season best 3:29.58); while thirds were claimed by the 330 high hurdle shuttle of Justin Johnson, Keaton Shurilla and Wil Roscher (51.62); the pole vault trio of Aron Schwartz, Dylan Block and Zack Pogorzelski; the long jump crew of Boehler, Bullock and Daniel Dahlke; the triple jump team of Van Alstyne (third best individual jump at 40-10); and the discus crew of John DeWalt (third best individual throw of 126-6), Spencer Kolbeck and Anthony Russo
Falls got a first from the 3,200 relay team (8:29.93) to lead it to a fourth in the Burlington Demon Invitational on Friday. Seconds went to the 400 relay (44.47) and Christensen in the 200 (22.82). Schwartz turned in a personal record to take third in the pole vault (12-6) while other thirds included the 1,600 relay (3:32.67) and Shurilla in the 110 high hurdles (16.9).
Germantown boys track
Ben Holcomb paved the way to event titles in both the high and intermediate hurdles and the Warhawks won three other events as they took third in the North Shore Conference Relays on May 2.
The Warhawks, who took part in the Menomonee Falls Ron Burling Invitational on Tuesday, now look forward to the North Shore Conference Outdoor meet at Grafton at 4 p.m. May 15.
Germantown scored 80 points for its spot in the relays, as Homestead defended its crown with 103 and Whitefish Bay was second with 84.
Holcomb teamed with Everett Wood and Zak Winkler to win the 330 high hurdle shuttle in 51.14 and then worked with Wood and Jacob DeBonis to take the intermediate hurdle relay. Holcomb turned in a personal best of 39.39 on his 300 intermediate leg, which is good for a top three spot on the state honor roll.
"Some of my times are a little unexpected," Holcomb said, "because I'm well ahead of where I was last year. I've also done a lot more training for the 300s and they feel good now. The coaches want me to get out a little faster in that race. If I don't, I get yelled at (laughs)."
The 3,200 relay team of Tommy Adair, Cory Rhind, Zach Baus and Riley Kruger was also a winner in a season best of 8:20.05 as was the shot put trio of Bobby Stemm (personal best 48-11), Ryan Lemke (personal best 48-3 1/2 ) and Shae Callewaert (44-9); and the pole vault crew of Tyler Baran (event and personal best 13-0), Mitch Fox (12-0) and Tim Montag (8-0).
A second went to the high jump team of Bryan McMichael, Kameron Lau and Evan Wesenberg.
"We had some mistakes but we can work through them," coach Jared Foerch said.
Germantown boys golf
The glass is teetering between half-full and half-empty in the eyes of coach Gary Anderson, as despite a one-two individual finish from Jakob Garstecki and Phillip Johnson, respectively, the Warhawks could do no better than third in the Port Washington Invitational at Hawthorne Hills on Friday.
"To have a 69 (from Garstecki) and a 75 (from Johnson) and not walk away with a (team) win tells you something about where we're at as a team," Anderson said. "Two great performances and not much help. We're getting to the point in the season where someone else has to do something."
That effort followed a disappointing finish in the North Shore mini-meet on April 30, which put Germantown behind the eight-ball as far as the league title was concerned.
The Warhawks took part in another North Shore mini-meet at Ozaukee on Monday and take part in the Cedarburg Invitational at Hidden Glen on Thursday and then a high-level PGA-related event at Dretzka on Friday.
Garstecki turned in nine-hole efforts of 36 and 33 in defending his individual crown at the Port meet while Johnson had one stroke on third-place finisher Jack Comiskey of Whitefish Bay.
Germantown turned in an 18-hole score of 419 to tie with Brookfield Central for its spot in the play five, score five event as Brookfield Academy won with 411 and Bay was second with 415.
Logan Sterns was the third-best score for the Warhawks this day at 89.
Menomonee Falls girls soccer
The Indians went 2-0-1 in the Manitowoc Tournament on Saturday to improve to 8-4-2 overall.
Falls, still just 1-3 in the Greater Metro, took on border rival Hamilton on Tuesday and then hosts Milwaukee Lutheran on Thursday and then take on both Milton and Wisconsin Lutheran on Saturday morning, all as part of their own Indian Invite.
The Indians tied Green Bay Preble, 1-1, to open the Manitowoc Invite and then crushed Sheboygan Christian, 10-0, behind two hat tricks from Hannah Nelson and Jen Eberhardy, respectively, while individual scores went to Olivia Dennis, Hailey Schild, Rachel Clayton and Megan Perinovoc.
They then routed Campbellsport, 6-0, as Cassie Poeske had a hat trick while Megan Emory, Clayton and Anna Smalley also all found the back of the net.
Menomonee Falls boys tennis
The Indians beat Sussex Hamilton, 5-2, and fell to Brookfield Central, 7-0, in a pair of Greater Metro Conference duals last week.
Earning wins for the Indians against Hamilton were Paul Fitzgerald (2) and Brennan Schneider (4) in singles and all three doubles teams including the duos of Chris Hans and Kyle Wilkins, Andy Stoiber and Mitchell Gerke and Casey Hanrahan and Jake Bahneman.
The Indians take on Milwaukee King on Thursday. Coach J.J. Tischer said the Indians are trying to make up some rained out matches before the conference and WIAA series of events.
Germantown girls soccer
In a light week after a challenging month, the Warhawks got a hat trick from Maddie Tetzke, two goals each from Kayla Schlosser and Jamie Karch and individual scores from Jennifer Poss and Taylor Koepke in routing Milwaukee Lutheran, 9-0, in a North Shore match on May 1.
With the win, the fifth-ranked Warhawks improved to 3-1 in league play and 9-2-1 overall. They're a game behind unbeaten Cedarburg (4-0, 8-0) in league play. Paige Blankenheim also had two assists in the Lutheran game.
Germantown took on Port Washington on Tuesday and is at sixth-ranked DSHA at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Sky high!
"At first look, these booties don't look that high. When I put them on I almost fell over! I thought there was a bit more platform at the front part of the shoe, which made them not as comfortable as I hoped. I got them to wear on a Las Vegas trip with a dress and tights. I would definitely recommend scuffing the flocked bottoms if you will be walking on floor tile because I nearly fell walking in the hotel lobby."

Since many of these previous images have contained soft core materials. I wouldn't see why there wouldn't be an issue with uploading a edited version of a porn image.
It's just the Metroid series remade for the Xbox crowd.

Season 1 episodes
With only one color war remaining, Class Clown Chris knows his best hope for survival is being elected camp counselor, but he doesn't realize just how badly the guys want him gone.
Returned from banishment for a second time, Geek Girl Melinda tries to spin her pity play as strategic maneuvering, but some, including Michelle the Bodybuilder, see it as being thrown under the bus.
The tension in the guys's camp finally boils over when Class Clown Chris returns from the chopping block for a second time. Cowboy Cameron tries to mend fences, but for Chris it's too little, too late.
Fresh off their first victory, the girls are reinvigorated, while the division in the guys camp continues to deepen.
On the heels of Country Girl Erin's elimination, the next day sees Justin the Hunter and Rachel the Yogi in the counselor spots. It's a situation that leaves Military Mike, who enjoys a solid bond with Justin, feeling pretty good. Meanwhile, Pageant Queen Isis decides to strike back in the prank war with the guys by pulling her own personal panty raid. Class Clown Chris also has payback on his mind as he toys with the idea of throwing a game to get rid of some of his teammates that Mike's bad will campaign has turned against him.
The guys continue to revel in their week one victory, but when they learn their unanimous decision to send Meghan the Flirt home was marred by a single vote for Mean Girl Lauren, it creates a rift that slowly pushes Class Clown Chris to the outside of the group.
It's the first day of Summer Camp, and the mood is electric as the eight girls and eight guys who will take part in this special adventure arrive. But the campers have only a moment to size each other up before host Mike Hodges breaks the news that this won't be an ordinary camp experience; this will be a battle of the sexes for a quarter of a million dollars!

I enjoy each generation having its own central figures being developed variations of the previous generation's themes. Atm we are seeing the strongest example of tobirama's theme that danzo developed after eschewing the "silver lining" that tobirama posessed. Im still aware and asserting that danzo was way more an a** hole than tobirama and several degrees more aware of the darkness and negativity his actions would foster. Hewas totally into it! Tobirama had hashirama rub off on him a little and when making up his own mind; was arriving at answers that were as of then still untested yet formed with a pinch of noble sentiment of solving war and atrocity.
I get the impression that the pre-village era was of many powerful shinobi and powerful ninja were more common. With uchiha running in gangs with multiple sharingan users.. it makes me think that the village era was to slowly remove the power from humanity as each country weakened considerably after every war (most cases) hashirama would likely have had a vision of diminishing jutsu so ppl could calm down and stop killing each other's kids. Being born with shinobi powers only guarantees the shinobi affairs and circumstances of a danger and pain filled life. The less shinobi born then the less shinobi die. I can totally see this as a deliberate outcome.

In the 2000 U.S. Census, the Federal Government defines "Asian American" to include persons having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent. "Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander" includes Native Hawaiian, Samoan, Guamanian or Chamorro, Fijian, Tongan, or Marshallese peoples and encompasses the people within the United States jurisdictions of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. The previous "Asian and Pacific Islander" (API) category was separated into "Asian Americans" and "Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders" (NHOPI).
Historically, Asians and Pacific Islanders were grouped together by government classifications and by us, as part of an intentional community-based strategy to build coalitions with one another. There are conflicting views on the appropriateness of any aggregate classification or reference - "Asian Pacific American", "Asian American and Pacific Islander", etc; and a lot of significance can get attached to them, e.g., the word "Other" in "Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander" (NHOPI), and it is at times dropped in favor of "Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander". Whilst our communities use various names to describe themselves; these groupings are ultimately political and part of a dynamic, continuing process of self-determination and self-identification.
The Asian Pacific Institute on Gender-Based Violence uses the term "Asian and Pacific Islander" to include all people of Asian, Asian American, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander ancestry who trace their origins to the countries, states, jurisdictions and/or the diasporic communities of these geographic regions.
Definitions inevitably become wrapped up in notions of identity.
Identities overlap and occur simultaneously, not discretely or serially and because identities are experienced in many ways; one's power does not rest on a single axis (or category) of identity. Within each category that defines identity, there are several sub-categories; both are enumerated below:
There is no official definition of the boundary between Asia and Europe (nor between continents for that matter) so the boundaries are merely traditional – and some of the countries listed as Asian might not seem obvious. For example, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia lie south of the Caucasus Mountains which have traditionally divided the two continents. Turkey and Russia straddle both Europe and Asia (sometimes referred to as Eurasia); 80% of the latter is in Asia, but Russians are generally considered Europeans; in the former, east of Istanbul is customarily considered in Asia. These examples illustrate why a single factor cannot be used to describe ethnic identity or origin.
National Geographic lists the following countries in Asia: Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, North Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Russia (parts in Europe and Asia), Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Syria, Tajikistan, Thailand, Timor-Leste (East Timor), Turkey (parts in Europe and Asia), Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and Yemen.
Ethnic identities can be referenced in the aggregate e.g., Southeast Asians or disaggregated e.g., Cambodians. Asians and Pacific Islanders are generally grouped by regions although some of these can be politically controversial. There is tremendous diversity, with Asia having more than 40 countries, and there are more ethnicities than countries, e.g., the Hmong are an ethnic group from Laos. Also, Asian diasporas are extremely large and ethnic identity oversimplifications do not apply. For example, people of Japanese origin in Brazil culturally identify as Brazilians, those of Chinese origin in Guatemala identify as Guatemalans; whereas hyphenated identities are more common in the U.S. as evidenced by terms like Asian American, or Korean American.
Notions of ethnic and national identity carry political, social and familial meanings too complex to analyze here.
According to the 2010 Census, the Asian American population in the United States grew 46% between 2000 and 2010, faster than any other racial group nationwide.
Numbering only 6.9 million in 1990, there are now over 17.3 million Asian Americans living in the United States, making up 6% of our nation's total population.
States with highest number of Asian Americans include California, New York, Texas, New Jersey, and Hawai'i.
Of 19 states home to more than 225,000 Asian Americans, six are in the South (Texas, Florida, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, and North Carolina) and four are in the Midwest (Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio).
Asian American populations in Nevada, Arizona, North Carolina, and North Dakota were the fastest growing nationwide between 2000 and 2010.
Over 57% of Hawai'i's total population is Asian American, making it the country's only majority Asian American state.
Chinese Americans continue to be the largest Asian American ethnic group, numbering nearly 3.8 million nationwide. They are followed in size by Filipino (3.4 million), Indian (3.1 million), Vietnamese (1.7 million), and Korean Americans (1.7 million).
The country's fastest growing Asian American ethnic groups were South Asian. Bangladeshi and Pakistani American populations doubled in size between 2000 and 2010.
Approximately 60% of Asian Americans are foreign-born, the highest proportion of any racial group nationwide. In contrast, only 38% of Latinos, 8% of African Americans, and 4% of non-Hispanic Whites were born outside the United States.
Nearly one in three of the 9.2 million Asian American foreign-born entered the United States fairly recently, between 2000 and 2009.
More than three out of four Sri Lankan Americans are foreign-born, the highest rate among Asian American ethnic groups. Roughly 7 in 10 Malaysian, Bangladeshi, Indian, and Taiwanese Americans were born abroad.
Refugees and Asylees are persons who came to the United States to escape persecution in their country of origin. Refugees are immigrants who applied for admission while living abroad, while asylees are immigrants who applied for admission at either a port of entry or within the United States.
Some immigrants from Asia come as legal immigrants, refugees, or asylees, while others enter without documentation or fall out of status due to the difficulty of obtaining a visa. How an individual enters the United States greatly affects her or his economic and social well-being in this country.
Asian Americans speak dozens of languages and dialects, reflecting the community's rich immigrant character and diversity. Approximately 10 million Americans speak one of the 33 Asian languages categorized by the U.S. Census.
Nearly three out of four (71%) Asian Americans speak a language other than English at home.
More than 80% of Bangladeshi, Hmong, Pakistani, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, Laotian, and Cambodian Americans speak a language other than English at home.
Roughly one-third (32%) of Asian Americans are limited-English proficient (LEP) and experience some difficulty communicating in English. Coupled with a lack of available English classes, language is a formidable barrier impacting access to a range of vital services, such as healthcare, social services, housing, courts, and education.
Among Asian American ethnic groups, over half of Vietnamese and nearly half of Bangladeshi Americans are LEP.
Over 40% of Cambodian, Hmong, Taiwanese, Chinese, Korean, and Laotian Americans are LEP.
The data presented here is from A Community of Contrasts: Asian Americans in the United States: 2011, a joint publication of the members of the Asian American Center for Advancing Justice. Retrieved from www.advancingjustice.org/pdf/Community_of_Contrast.pdf
In addition to the U.S. Census, national API organizations provide regional and local information on population growth, geographic distribution, poverty rates, housing, socio-economic differences between Asians, and linguistic isolation – data that is relevant to advocacy and program development.
White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders
Census 2010: Quick FactsApproximately 14.7 million people (about 5 percent of all respondents) identified their race as Asian alone. The Asian alone population grew faster than any other major race group between 2000 and 2010, increasing by 43 percent. The smallest major race group was Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone (0.5 million), which represented 0.2 percent of the total population.
2010 Census Demographic Profile by StateThe Demographic Profile contains information on topics such as sex, age, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, household relationship, household type, group quarters population, housing occupancy, and home ownership.

During and after his dissertation he worked as environmental researcher and consultant, mostly for U.S. industry. First he focused on novel environmental technology, such as biological air pollution control, then increasingly on renewable resources and international development.
Since 2005 Gero has managed the conversion of the supply chain of Dr. Bronner's, the U.S. largest brand of natural soaps, to certified fair trade and organic raw materials. This involved the design, setup and operation of several oil mills. Since 2005 he's spent more than half of his time at Dr. Bronner's projects in Sri Lanka, Ghana, India and Kenya. The knowledge and experience gained from ESE has come in very handy.

Stolen Pumpkins Replaced By Good Samaritan
A good samaritan steps in today to replace more than a dozen pumpkins stolen from an elementary school garden in Kennewick.
The kindergartners and first graders at Eastgate Elementary School were heartbroken that someone would take their pumpkins right before halloween, but that all changed by the end of the day
The farm manager at Robert Cox Farms heard about the stolen pumpkins from one of his employees and once he heard he just wanted to help out.
"Every kid needs a pumpkin this time of year -its what halloween is all about is the pumpkins-so we need to get every little kid we can a pumpkin so hopefully they can get enough to replant the patch and have some kids with smiles," says Cory Elliott.
The farm delivered dozens of pumpkins to the school today, and unloaded them into the garden, and for the kids it made a big difference.

|In response to Re: 2" CheckMate Check Valve
: : : I am with a Forensic Engineering Firm. We are investigating a failed check valve. The one in
: : : question is a CheckMate CV-200 by Liberty Pumps. I need a similar valve to disassemble. This
: : : valve has a yellow sticker and is round with a glued together body. Does anyone have one in

: BUT once someone is asking for a sample check valve it seems to me that there are fishing for a possibility product liability lawsuit.
: Before I would even get involved I would ask who the installer was how much "formal" training they had and if anyone bothered to look at the pump curves, Total Discharge Head (TDH)
: Before I looked at the CV I would ask was this "pump" a centrifugal, rotary or reciprocating?
: If this was a centrifugal "pump" was it horizontal or vertical
: If it's a Rotary "pump" is it a vane, gear, piston, lobe progressing cavity, peristaltic or screw type?
: Before I take on a case (lawsuit) I like to know before hand I am going to win by knowing all the facts not just one aspect like a check valve.
: One has to take into consideration the job conditions and age of the installation.
: Many times it is is human error not so much the product.
: Price dictates some jobs not quality like the installers of AAV and wet venting.
: I cant wait to jump on a law suit where an AAV was used and someone ends up with breathing problems.
: Installers of the materials not suited for the actual job are the guilty ones and thus they should be hung out to dry not the maufacturer.
: Like the guy who puts a snow plow on a motorcycle.
: Should the snow plow or motor cycle maker be responsible?
: Same with a "Check valve"

35 miles with 5,500 feet of climbing. That kind of distance and elevation would take me the better part of a day to cover on foot, but the road bike makes it too easy. It almost feels like cheating — if it wasn't so wonderful.

I have found it near impossible to get on anything but my road bikes since switching to road and track bikes three years ago from cross coutnry mountain biking. The speed and effeciency of a geared road bike is a mastermind of invention. This blog has me desiring to get back to Homer, Ak and my school bus and buy a snow bike. Inspirational overflow this blog is.ReplyDelete

It is like another world over there on the San Mateo Coast especially on a weekday. There have been constant fights to stop any development over there.ReplyDelete
For more beautiful scenery and solitude on a weekday, try the Lobitos creek rd. and Lobitos Cutoff rd. which breaks off of Tunitas creek rd., and the Pescadero creek road, Stage rd. Hwy 84 loop. Weekends are kinda too busy over there with cars, motorcycles, and bikes
I miss the West Coast. Alaska, California, Oregon, all of it.ReplyDelete
- Durango Joe10:26 AM
I've read as you slowly overcame your reservations about road bikes, now as I secretly predicted you're slowly getting the bug. Looking into my crystal ball, I predict before too long you'll be doing group road rides, drafting, running circular pacelines, and even, as befits your diesel engine, making solo attacks to jack up the average speed and make the non-diesels work hard to chase you down.ReplyDelete
Leah — as we gain daylight perhaps we can meet in Woodside after your done with work on a weekday. I'd wouldn't mind planning weekday rides near the city, either.ReplyDelete
Durango Joe — I really do enjoy road biking, but my mindset is really that of a tourist. I love covering ground in beautiful places. I'm afraid to go fast — evidenced by my <20 mph downhill speeds. I have the same reservations with running. I don't fail to run fast because I lack heart, but because I lack balance. But perhaps someday. Perhaps.
