Evening Sun - Local News: "County hiring changes course
The Evening Sun

By MEG BERNHARDT
Evening Sun Reporter
Two Adams County commissioners reversed themselves Wednesday and voted to forbid the rehiring of county employees who were previously fired with cause or quit without notice.

In 2004, Republican commissioners Lucy Lott and Glenn Snyder voted to strike the same language from the county's hiring policy.

At the time, the third commissioner, Democrat Tom Weaver, voted against the change, saying it was made to allow the county to hire Rebecca Hansford as a clerk in the Clerk of Courts office. Hansford, a Republican, had worked in the county purchasing department, but quit without notice.

She was subsequently hired as a court clerk.

Wednesday's action prompted Weaver to observe that Hansford, or any employee hired under the old policy, shouldn't be working for the county. "

EDITED December 21, 2010: In September 2009 I moved to Meadville to be closer to ailing family. This was a decision that is still sometimes difficult. My old 717 cell phone number was assigned to someone else, and the new person began receiving calls relating to my business at all hours. To reduce this, I am redacting my old 717 home and cell phone numbers from this post, as they are not my current numbers. Please visit www.facebook.com/herbriede for up to date contact information. In addition, I discontinued my mayoral website in 2010. To avoid confusion, I have removed the link to this as well. I miss McSherrystown, my girls miss it, they grew up there, and it is a good place to live. - Herb === My wife, my mother and I wish to say thank you to all of those people we met while greeting voters at the polls. As your next Mayor, I take the position of Mayor seriously. I ran on establishing 24 hour police protection and making the roads safer for pedestrians and drive...

Evening Sun - Former McSherrystown mayor remembered

Evening Sun - Former McSherrystown mayor remembered : Former McSherrystown mayor remembered By ASHLEY ADAMS Evening Sun Reporter Article Launched: 08/29/2007 10:17:36 AM EDT Most people knew him as the mayor of McSherrystown. To some, he was just plain "Moe." To his family, he was a dedicated husband, father and grandfather. But for everyone who came into contact with Cyril T. Noel, he was a trustworthy, generous and dependable man who gave to his family and community without expecting anything in return. Noel died Saturday at York Hospital at the age of 82. "We really are going to miss him because he was our rock," said his wife, Frances Noel. Cyril lived in McSherrystown his whole life and, as a young boy, acquired the "Moe" moniker. "Everyone has a nickname in McSherrystown," said his son, David Noel. "That's just how they did it." Frances said Cyril never liked his given name. He even had an uncle who would call him ...

//IMHO// The Occupy Movement's goal? - A Constitutional Amendment, Perhaps?

Have you actually read the Occupy Declaration ? I don't think the goal is just fixing what has gone wrong by making people pay their fair share and getting people back to work and general economic and social fairness, but fixing it permanently. The declaration says "THEY" often. Who are "THEY"? It's not Millionaires - it's CORPORATIONS. What action would permanently address every point in the Declaration?? Perhaps a constitutional amendment permanently reversing parts of, any or all Supreme Court " Corporate Personhood " decisions: - Citizens United v. FEC - Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad - Dartmouth College v. Woodward is required. Specifically, I can imagine demands/effects such as: - The ability of a state to revoke a corporate charter (Corporate death penalty) - The invalidation of Corporate "personhood" and revocation of all Constitutional protections given to corporations given to people unles...
