On the 25^th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Never Forget:

The cowardly acts perpetrated against our country by those who seek to destroy us and our way of life.

The innocent men, women, and children who lost their lives on this tragic day, only for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Our courageous first responders, who ran toward the disaster to offer help to those in need and perished while trying to help and serve their fellow Americans.

Our Country may have been down, and many would have crumbled under such crushing blows, but while we watched in horror as the events unfolded before our eyes, our strength and resolve grew, and we became a determined people to punish those who promote terrorism and to make sure this tragedy would never happen again.

Most of us can recall where we were that tragic day, what we were doing as we first got word of the attacks on our country, and stood in shock as we watched the Twin Towers in New York City crumble. Please take a moment today to pause and remember those who perished on 9/11. Remember our first responders who face danger daily, and finally, remember and thank our armed forces, both here at home and deployed around the world, ensuring that America remains the Land of the Free and the home of the brave.

It's been 25 years since the terrorist attacks against our country. Most of us watched in disbelief as the horror of 9//11 unfolded in front of us. Now there is a generation born post 9/11 who didn't live through the fear and anguish that enveloped our great nation. For these individuals, for your children and your children's children: "Teach Your Children." Make them aware of the cowardly acts that were aimed at destroying our way of life as Americans. Share your thoughts and feelings with them from that fateful day so that they may "Never Forget."

"Where were you when the world stopped turning,

On that September Day."

Alan Jackson

The York/Adams County Central Labor Council held its annual Labor Day Fishing Derby at Kiwanis Lake. Twenty-six participants competed in two age groups (1-8 & 9-15) to win 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-place trophies in each. Categories were for the biggest fish (25-1/2 inches) and most fish caught (4). 

Two of the big fish that were caught. Those smiles are almost as big as the fish!

After the trophy presentation, each fishing derby participant received a brand-new fishing rod and reel courtesy of Teamsters Local 776. The York/Adams County Central Labor Council, along with Local 776 retired Business Agents Kittie Hake and Dave Wolf, can't thank Teamsters Local 776 enough for their continued support of the annual Derby. There were a lot of smiles!

These two fisher-kids were the 1- 9-year-old winners!

These future fishing pros were the 9-15-year-old winners!

Everybody was a winner! Everybody's showing off their new rod and reel with a big smile!

Commented Local 776 President Spencer Dearth: " I want to thank retirees Kittie Hake and Dave Wolf for taking the time on the Holiday to spend time at the lake with the kids. It must be in their blood: People Helping People!"
