Yellow ribbons brighten Mt Carmel pa in patriotic drive
A Pennsylvania town decorates with yellow bows on meters, lights, signs, and a bridge to honor service members in Saudi Arabia. Mt. Carmel volunteers and local businesses joined a campaign sparked by a ribbon shortage, supported by the Military Order of the Purple Heart and local chambers. The effort expanded to First National Bank of Western Pennsylvania in nearby New Castle, where ribbons honor Pvt Kurt McClelland and his family. His sister Wende and brother Eric also serve, with messages from home and a student letter project aiding troops been organized by Shenango Elementary PTO.

Better Than Sex Cake Receives Experimental Testing
A humorous reminiscence chronicles testing a cake recipe from a local paper. The narrator uses a German chocolate cake base, adds condensed milk, caramel sauce, Cool Whip, and crushed Heath bars, then serves to grown children who react with mixed disbelief and masked delight. The piece ends with a blunt family verdict and a wry joke about relationships.
