Those boys of summer make geography a ball
Ninth grade students at Strath Haven High, guided by geography teacher Jim Vankoski, completed a study mapping major league players by state and origins. The findings show 60 percent signed after college, 26 percent directly from high school, and 14 percent foreign born, with most foreign players from Latin America, notably the Dominican Republic.

Newtown gains shade from PECO tree planting program
Newtown, once famed as William Penns green country towne, now adds 130 trees through PECO Energy clearance work. Over two years the utility removed parts and entire trees near lines and, in return, provides new shade and ornamental trees to townships and boroughs. Landscape consultant Larry Paglia coordinated the effort, with plantings done in late fall 1993 and early spring around township buildings on Bishop Hollow Road, Gable Park, Greer Park, the Petticoat League baseball field, and along West Chester Pike east of Route 252, including flowering pears and 30-year-old pink cherry trees for continuous spring color.
