  • ALPB League Unveils Freedom and Liberty Division Rosters for Mid-Summer Classic
    ALPB league unveils Freedom and Liberty Division rosters for Mid-Summer Classic Posted by MJ On 07/06/2019 The Atlantic League of Professional Baseball (ALPB) today announced the rosters for the 2019 Atlantic League All-Star Game, which will be held next Wednesday at PeoplesBank Park, home of the York Revolution.

    Vol. Vol.18 • 17No. • 2No. 2 SpringWinter 20062005 CurrentsPenn State Harrisburg Alumni Magazine College Benefactor Richard Ziegler: More than Meets the Eye Currents • penn state harrisburg alumni magazine Welcome to Currents GreetingsWelcome to the Spring 2006from issue of Currents,the yourChancellor… Penn State Harrisburg alumni magazine. The end of the academic year is a time at which we pause to acknowledge the achievements of students, faculty, staff, and alumni. It also marks a period of transition, as new graduates stand ready to meet the challenges of professional life, while retiring faculty and staff prepare for life after the rigors of the daily workplace. At commencement ceremonies in May 2006, Penn State Harrisburg conferred some 600 degrees, and another nearly 600 degrees a few months earlier at ceremonies in December 2005. These numbers are particularly significant as we celebrate the college’s 40th anniversary this year. Penn State Harrisburg’s first graduating class, those students who began when the campus opened in 1966 and graduated in 1968, included 12 students. Clearly, the idea for a campus in the capital city four decades ago has proven to be a good one. The proof? The nearly 32,000 graduates Penn State Harrisburg, the Capital College, has added to the University alumni roster. Our April 18 Donor Recognition Dinner recognized those whose philanthropy helps students either directly through scholarships, or indirectly through the donation of resources to enhance campus programs and facilities. This spring we also honored faculty and staff members with awards for outstanding achievement and leadership in the areas of diversity, service, teaching, research, and scholarship.

  • 2011-12 Annual Report I
    VA SYL NI A N N C E O A P 2011-12 Annual Report L I A T I G O A N I N S T R A P E NIA VA CO L A Y L S A letter from our CEO I I’m proud to present to you the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR)’s Annual Report for fiscal year 2011-12. The year provided an opportunity for our coalition to engage communities across Pennsylvania in a broader conversation about child sexual abuse. T In November 2011, the national spotlight focused on former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky who was facing multiple criminal charges related to accusations that he sexually abused 10 boys. In June N 2012, he was tried for 48 related charges and convicted on 45 counts. All eyes were on Pennsylvania. With that spotlight came increased attention to child sexual abuse—and sexual assault in general. I’m proud to say PCAR led the way in advocating for the rights of sexual assault victims and educating the public about sexual abuse. We fought to keep the names of the survivors who testified about Sandusky private I by filing an amicus curiae in conjunction with the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, the Victim Rights Law Center, the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence, The National Center for Victims of Crime and the National Crime Victim Law Institute. Members of our staff stayed on-site throughout the entire trial process, offering victim perspectives to members of the media and their audience, and combating claims by Sandusky’s attorneys through blog responses and N O national media releases.

Reed CITY COUNCIL Richard K. House, Sr., President Linda D. Thompson, Vice President Otto V. Banks Gloria E. Martin-Roberts Eric L. Waters Vera J. White Susan C. Wilson CITY CONTROLLER James J.

Kroboth, CGFM Deputy Business Administrator William P. Leinberger, CMA, CFM Michael S. Wood Accounting Manager Budget Manager Yolanda M. Jones Senior Budget/Management Analyst Mattea D. Fera Shanti R. Shah Purchasing Manager Fiscal Officer II FOREWORD The City of Harrisburg (City) has become an example of urban resurgence at a time when many of America’s cities continue to undergo further decline and serious economic stress. Harrisburg’s renewal has been multi-faceted, touching virtually every area of city governmental and community endeavor. Listed as the second most distressed city in the nation in 1981 under federal distress criteria, Harrisburg launched, in 1982, a major change in course based on three priority pursuits: reform of city government, development of non-tax revenue sources, and aggressive economic development. These remain this City’s priorities. The resultant success of these efforts is, in part, reflected by the various national and state recognitions Harrisburg has received from independent private-sector, professional, civic, and governmental bodies. In the past eighteen years, Harrisburg has each year attained the highest national award for governmental accounting and financial reporting, the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.

  • Exhibit a – Executive Summary Dauphin County, PA Exhibitaexecsumm
    Exhibit A – Executive Summary Dauphin County, PA ExhibitAExecSumm As the population, healthcare, commercial, and tourism/recreation hub of south-central Pennsylvania, Dauphin County is home to the state’s capital, the City of Harrisburg. The County lies at the crossroads of several major East Coast transportation corridors, including the Pennsylvania Turnpike (Interstate 76) and Interstates 81, 83, and 283. Dauphin County features several significant economic drivers and regional assets, such as Hershey Park and Hershey Arena, Hershey Bears ice hockey, Harrisburg International Airport, Harrisburg Senators baseball, Penn State Capital Campus, Harrisburg Area Community College, and a variety of world-class regional health systems, all of which provide jobs and job-training opportunities for a diverse population. Dauphin County’s topography is punctuated by pastoral vistas and low, rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The County’s waterways include streams, creeks, and tributaries, some of which originate in northern Pennsylvania and collect run-off from the rolling hills and ridges across the County. Many of these waterways feed into the Susquehanna River, which flows north-south from New York, creates the County’s western border, and eventually empties into the Chesapeake Bay. Dauphin County and the greater Harrisburg region were developed by the agricultural and steel industries that relied on the County’s waterways to sustain operations and transport goods to market. While these two economic drivers led to substantial development and urbanization of the region, their impact has waned in more recent history. The decline of the steel industry, in particular, resulted in concentrations of unemployment and poverty, particularly in communities near the river, from which steel products had once been produced and transported.

  • May 4, 2017 Mark Butler, Owner Harrisburg Senators Via Email
    May 4, 2017 Mark Butler, Owner Harrisburg Senators Via email: [email protected] Dear Mr. Butler, We write to you in opposition to the monkey rodeo shows scheduled to take place during a Senators game on May 26th. As experts in the field of primate care, we respectfully ask that you reconsider these events – for the good of both the monkeys and public perception of your team. While it may seem amusing on the surface, the monkeys used in these spectacles are poorly treated. Although the records of many monkey rental operators are generally less than stellar, and training and housing conditions can be incredibly stressful (and often abusive), the simple fact that they are forced to dress up and perform on cue in a terribly unnatural situation is reason enough for many people to boycott such events. The North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance is a coalition of eleven of the leading primate sanctuaries on the continent. In our sanctuaries, we care for close to 700 primates, many of whom were formerly used in entertainment. So that you may learn more about the harms of monkey rodeos, our advocacy position statement on this topic is attached. Also included is a fact sheet from the Humane Society of the United States and a collection of expert opinions which detail concerns about the public safety of your attendees and the substandard living conditions of the monkeys. An increasing number of teams have forsworn this archaic form of entertainment, including your fellow Minor League Baseball teams The Williamsport Crosscutters, The Lexington Legends, The Sugar Land Skeeters and The Long Island Ducks, as well as Northwoods League team The Kalamazoo Growlers.
