By Jeanne Ruczhak-Eckman
LANCASTER
-- Imagine for a moment after a relaxing family vacation your child becomes violently ill. You take him to your doctor who tells you that your son contracted E. Coli, a serious and highly contagious illness. The Pennsylvania State Department of Health takes four days to return your call to even get the ball rolling. What happens next? What do you do? This happened to one woman who testified Monday at a hearing before the Lancaster County Commissioners in support of a county health department.

By Jeanne Ruczhak-Eckman
LANCASTER
-- The Government Study Commission presented its Final Report Wednesday morning at the County Commissioners meeting. The Report proposes a home-rule charter changing the current form of county government. The number of county commissioners would increase from three members to five. A county executive, appointed by the commissioners, would run the county at the board's direction. Three row offices -- register of wills, prothonotary and clerk of courts -- would be eliminated and a clerk of judicial records would be created to perform the functions of those three offices.

PET TIP
Stop Puppy Mills!
Contact your representatives and ask them how they feel about improving the lives of these animals. Legislators and State Representatives must understand that there are more people who LOVE DOGS in Pennsylvania than people who breed large quantities of puppies for sale. We must use our votes to help dogs imprisoned in our State's puppy mills. (Click HERE for full column)
