Reading is a fundamental education skill that provides a foundation for academic and life success. On March 29, the Central Intermediate Unit No. 10, located in Pennsylvania's Fifth Congressional District, hosted their Elementary School Interscholastic Reading Competition. This is a great event that is integrated throughout the school year to promote reading. Each year, the IU chooses a list of books to be read, and this year, 41 books were utilized for the competition. Students read books from the list and answer test questions that are created to measure the students' comprehension and recall of the books. On competition day, students learn the value of hard work, the importance of reading, as well as teamwork. Along the way, they also have some fun. The team with the highest number of points overall is awarded the grand championship. Clearly, every child that participates in this event benefits, as they are encouraged and motivated to expand their horizons through reading comprehension. Congratulations to the students and faculty of the Howard Elementary School for being the 2014 Reading Grand Champions. The Howard team, coached by Mrs. Amber Buchanan and Ms. Jalynn Woleslagle, scored a total of 68 points. Congratulations to Mia Simoncek, Noah Giedroc, Brayden Comly, Jayden Bechdel, Carter Rhoades, Olivia Reed, Hannah Ternent, Thomas Beck, Elyssa Greene, and Mikayla Irvin for a job well done.…

I did not support the amendment that passed out of committee by voice vote banning greyhound racing nationwide. I think a ban is heavyhanded. It sets a dangerous precedent, and it doesn't take into consideration the tracks that are…
