Supreme Court backs federal footing for same sex marriage
In a historic day for gay rights the Supreme Court ruled that legally married same sex couples receive federal benefits and struck down part of the Defense of Marriage Act. The court did not legalize nationwide same sex marriage but affirmed rights in key cases impacting California and a federal law. President Obama welcomed the ruling while opponents vowed to keep fighting. The California case left Prop 8 in effect in a technical ruling not addressing marriage itself.

Rotary renovates Cascade Park kitchen in New Castle
New Castle Rotary Club members organized and funded a renovation of the Cascade Park stone fireplace kitchen. Twenty six volunteers rebuilt rot damaged sections, replaced studs and siding, rafters, windows, doors, roof, and repaired mortar joints around the 20 foot high chimney. The project cost about eight thousand five hundred dollars with all expenses paid by the Rotary. The 1934 Civil Works Administration building had deteriorated but remains in constant use as a food prep area with outlets for coffee pots, roasters, and serving counters.
