Making fasnachts was a 40-year tradition for this Columbia family

For 40-plus years, it was a tradition for her family to make fasnachts at the Columbia church that is Lancaster County’s “Fasnacht Central.”
Former Columbian Josetta Grimes, now of Ohio, submitted this photo of her mother Bernice Stein (on the left) and her aunt, Rosemary Donnelly, who are twins, with NBC-TV’s Williard Scott when the “Today Show” weatherman came to Columbia to broadcast in 1989.
The whole family has helped with fasnacht-making at Columbia’s Holy Trinity Catholic Church for years, Grimes recalls.

There’s no proof Daylight Saving Time saves electricity, so why do we even bother?

The overall DST effect on electricity consumption runs counter to conventional wisdom: DST results in a 1-percent overall increase in residential electricity demand, and the effect is highly statistically significant.

"Tired" of this

 Remember that tire that was out on the ice last Saturday?

 Well, it wasn’t there today.

 It had been right there at the end of the footprints. Yes, footprints (leading right to left).

As a “public service,” someone had walked out onto the ice, retrieved it, and placed it by this sign.

 Someone was out on the ice again, sometime between yesterday and today.
See the footprints?
