LHU looks back, moves forward

It was a night of music
remembrance. A
Community Tribute to the
Spirit of America concert,
held at the Russell lawn
Wednesday night, housed
numerous local performers
and speakers to mourn a
one-year-anniversary of
the
11th
September
and

Friends and family
gathered for a memorial in
honor of Daniel William
Pyle, an LHU student and
member of the ROTC who
died in a car accident two
weeks ago, was held yesterday.

During the memorial,
several Bible passages
were read. Many members
of the ROTC were in
attendance and said a few
words about Pyle's aspirations in the army.
"He was an inspiration
to all cadets," said Lt. Col.
St. Andre. "Young cadets
looked up to him. It was a
great honor to have known

him."
Andre said that Pyle
had great potential, and
announced that a scholarship in Pyle's name had
been created.
Pyle's father, Donald
Pyle, expressed his thanks
to the University officials
for their sorrow. He said
that Dr. Linda Koch wrote
a letter to the family and
President Craig Dean
Willis called the Pyle residence.
He also recalled when
Daniel helped work on
cars and helped remodel
the family home.
"I was very proud to
have Daniel as a son,"
Donald Pyle said. "If I
could have, I would have
taken his place."

Donald said that he and
his wife, Diane, prayed for
a miracle while they visited Daniel in the hospital,
but in the end, it wasn't

possible. "I know today,
Daniel is in heaven," he
said.
Donald said that his
son's death involved alcohol, traveling at high speed
and failure to use a seatbelt.
Donald always told his
son to be careful while on
the road. "I didn't think
my son would be a statistic," he said.

In addition, the city of

As an FBI special agent,
Furry was also directly linked
to the investigation of the
attacks.
He spent his 60-hour work
weeks in his office in Newark,
New Jersey where he had to
collect information on the
Anthrax cases and the kidnapping of Daniel Pearl.
Although, he said, the FBI
had more than 11,000 agents
and depends on the local and
state law enforcement, it wasn't enough.
"The heart of freedom
begins in universities." Furry
stressed on the fact that a free
exchange of ideas and experiences is crucial for young people. "I applaud to (LHU) for its
deep respect of open society,
for distilling these values to
graduates," he said in the conclusion.
A local Pennsylvania State
Representative, Mike Hanna,
gave a powerful speech on
what he called "the most tragic
event in American history."
He strongly stressed the
importance of a family and
mutual love to carry on. "It's
easier for us to go by our daily
lives, but it doesn't mean that
we've forgotten. We may take

said. "But New Yorkers have

OPINION

Jessica Savrock

We see it everywhere. In the computer labs, frustrated students trying to
install it on computers blocked by administrators. As you walk down dorm hall
ways, every once in a while you hear the "doorbell" as someone's buddy appears on
hisor her computer. I'm talking about the Instant Messenger craze that is sweeping
college students across the country.
While I will agree that it is a good way for students to keep in touch with long dis
tance family and friends for no cost, I have seen way too many people fall into the
trap and become IM addicts.
For example, an old roommate ofmine used to leave her away messages on
for hours at a time while she was out ofthe room. That would be all fine and dandy,
except we lived in an old fashioned dorm where the phone and com
puter shared a line. That meant that she tied up the phone line all day
long to let people know she was "at class" or "doing laundry." Who
the hell cares? Isn't that what every student at every college was probably doing at that exact same time? Did people really care to read that
she was busy washing her dirty underwear and socks? I don't think so.
It's amazing to see how long some of these users remain online. I
admit that I do have a screen name, and will occasionally sign on to
keep in touch with a few friends. But a few of my "buddies" stay on
for hours at a time, and some even days. The longest sign-on time I've ever seen has
been 5 day s 5 hours, and 35 minutes.
'
m really not trying to bash IM users. It is a good keep-in-touch-when-youhave-a-few ;l;xtra-minutes tool. But it shouldn't take over your life. Especially for
fresnmen > if you have some spare time, go to a club meeting or campus-sponsored
activity rath :r than shutting yourself in your room, glued to the computer screen. It's
a t0 easy to get caught up in.

First I would like to say that I am not on instant messenger 24/7 as I am
Jess is going to accuse me of. But I really don't think it's bad to be signed on all
time. I have a few reasons for this.
First of all, not everyone has a cell phone. Therefore, the quickest way to reach
a lot of people is through instant messenger. I personally don't
answering machines, though the net can screw up a lot, too, but I
more faith in computers than telephones.
Another thing, maybe a friend of yours who has moved away
wants to say "hi". Wouldn't you rather attempt talking on the internet than
wasting the money on long distance only to leave a message and have tc
pay for it? I'd rather talk for free. Yeah, so I'm thrifty (or cheap, whatev
er!). Big freakin' deal.
One thing that I don't like is those idiots who actually say where they are and
what they're doing in their away messages. Personally, when I put an away message up
I make it witty. I don't say what I'm doing with my time unless I can make somebod)
laugh with it. Also, it really annoys me when people say, "leave one." How chidish is
that? It's almost like begging someone to write to you. Now that I think about it, I'm
sitting at my computer 95 percent of the time even when I do have an away message up
Why?
Well, sometimes I don't want to talk to someone signed on my buddy list, but
if somebody I do like comes on, I'll talk to him or her and sign under a different screen
name. That's why it's OK to have more than one name.
Also, you never know when somebody you never would have otherwise met is pjpjpjjpjpjpj
going to talk to you. I once talked to somebody from Indonesia on IM. How
you going to do that if you're not online often?
So what else can 1 say? That it took two weeks for Jess and I to actually find
something that we disagreed on? That you should show your support for O & A at
saveopieandanthony.net? That you can send your Eagle Eye personals to eepersonals@hotmaiI.com? I don'tknow. Maybe I'll sign online. Send me an IM!

again, with few messages
appealing to the young, and the
cycle starts over. This is unfortunate, because the young oftoday
will be the old of tomorrow, sitting in their rocking chairs and
complaining because the country isn't being run the way they
would like.
So wouldn't it make
more sense if the young
increased their voting frequency
and start being heard now,
before they have something to
complain about? If politicians
see higher incidences of young
voters, they will begin to see that
we are a force to be reckoned
with, and start addressing issues
that directly affect us. It's not
rocket science.

One of the most influential reasons that the young
don't vote is that they don't know
where they stand in the political
spectrum. Democrat, republican,
green party., what's the difference? All I have to say is pick
up a government or politics
book, you'd be surprised at what
you might leam about yourself.
Descriptions and definitions may not help, but examples of positions on controversial issues certainly will. Most
people are strongly one or another without knowing it. Once you
figure out where you stand, look
for parallels with the candidates,
go to the polls, and be heard.
Your frustrated teachers will

appreciate the effort.

Don't pervert nationalism:

Mike Porcenaluk
Everywhere you look
there is an American Flag.
Whether it's pasted in their window, stuck to their car or sewn
on their shirt, people are covered
with the Red, White, and Blue.
This in itself, of course, is certainly not a bad thing.
So where was this highflying pride last September
10th? Huh?
I know where it was. It
was buried, drowning under a
flood of self-indulgence and
complaints. We weren't getting
paid enough, our houses weren't
big enough, our cars weren't
expensive enough, and we
weren't getting enough attention.
We were demanding recounts.
Life was full oftrivial trifles.

struck, all of this was forgotten.
Suddenly, it was a privilege just
to be alive. Any salary would do,

any house is good, a car is a luxury in itself, and we placed all of
our attention on our recovery.
Instantly, flags were flying. The
banners were unfurled, and the
Star Spangled Banner was belted out by a nation in unison.
This is all fine and
dandy, but the sad fact is, those
flags were always there. The
banners had been stashed, and
the words to the song forgotten.
We had been ashamed to show
them before, because it would
have meant that we were not
paying enough attention to ourselves. It would have meant that
we were proud to live in a country that wasn't giving us enough
of what we wanted.
But now we all display
"Old Glory" everywhere we can,
in hopes of showing off to others
that we support the cause.
Regardless of how we really
feel, we have all jumped onto
the "Patriotism Bandwagon."

To do otherwise would be treasonous. When Alan Jackson's

World Stopped Turning" is

Army starting a real food fight
Dave Barry
Knight Ridder Newspapers
The U.S. Army is
developing a new Combat
Sandwich. Really. Army food
technicians say this sandwich
can remain edible, without
refrigeration, for three years.
Granted, that's nowhere near the
staying power ofthose $4.50 hot
dogs they sell at airports, some
of which have been rotating on
their grills since the Lindbergh
flight. But it's still impressive.
I recently had an opportunity to field-test the new
Combat Sandwich, and will give
you my review once I get my
new artificial stomach.

ITARY FOOD:

The legendary French
general
Napoleon "Bone"
Aparte once observed that "an
army marches on its stomach."
Of course Napoleon was talking
about French soldiers, who
drank large quantities of wine
and thus often could not march
on their actual feet ("Forward
CRAWL!"). In battle, they routinely shot at their own artillery
to make it shut up so they could
sleep.
But the point is that
food is vital for soldiers. The
ancient Romans understood this:
No matter how far their soldiers
ventured from Rome, they knew
No, seriously, rrri'flheV that,1 cbtne 'dinnertime, the

...

driven by a man who knew that
if he was more than 30 minutes
late, he would be disemboweled.
By the American Civil
War, the military had developed
a ration called "hardtack," which
was similar to plywood, but not
as tender. The advantage of
hardtack was that it did not
spoil, so if soldiers were pinned
down on the battlefield, unable
to get supplies, they could simply reach into their knapsacks,
pull out their hardtack, and
throw it at the enemy.
In World War II, the
army developed "K-rations,"
which were critical to the outcome of the war, because the
allied'soldiers'knew that if they
won, they would no longer have
to eat K-rations. After the war,

of leftover K-rations were
given to starving war refugees,
who gave them back. Today they
are used primarily in road construction and fruitcake.
So food has played a
vital role in military history,
which is why the army's new
Combat Sandwich is so exciting.
When 1 heard about it, I asked
the army to send me one, and the
army graciously sent me two:
one barbecued chicken, and one
pepperoni, both wrapped in
brown military foil packets that
you need a bayonet to open.
I field-tested these
sandwiches on a Florida beach,
where the harsh battlefield-style
conditions included heat, sand,

And now that a year
has past, where are the flags
now? Still hanging on our front
porches where they have
remained, regardless of the
weather? Or are they lying on
the ground along the side of the
road because they blew off of
our cars and we didn't have the
decency to stop and pick them
up? Are they still on our cars,
but tattered and dirty from being
flung around at interstate speeds
for the past 365 days? Are they
sewn on our shirts which are
stashed in our closet because it is
no longer in vogue to wear them
all the time? You see, in showing our love for our country, we
must also
understand and
respect the rules regarding that
show ofappreciation.
Let us not pervert and
cheapen this wonderful institute
of nationalism by simply going
with the flow. Let us display it
because we believe it.

anything is going to ruin a person's appetite for a sandwich, it
is suddenly finding yourself face
to face with the flagrant crevasse
that this man was sporting. I
think the authorities should
crack down (Har!) on this kind
ofbeach attire. I think that Coast
Guard ships should patrol along
the beaches, and when they spot
a
man
large
bethonged
("CHEEKS HO!") I think that
Greenpeace be damned
harpoons should be employed.
But even under these
conditions,
the
Combat
Sandwich held up well. It's a
"pocket" style sandwich, which

everything is tasty, including
cold cuts so old that when you
try to take them out of the refrigerator, they skitter away on little
mold legs and hide behind the
beer. I will eat food with an expiration date written in Roman
numerals.
In conclusion, the
Combat Sandwich is a strong
addition to our nation's combatfood arsenal. It is a tribute to the
men and women who devised it,
and the courageous barbecued
chickens and pepperonis who
gave their lives to make it possible. I know I speak on behalf of
a grateful nation when I say:

Convenience can wait; let's put safety first
Leonard Pitts Jr.
Knight Ridder Newspapers
Look, I'm happy to take
off my shoes if that's what is
required.
If somebody wants to
paw through my underwear,
swab chemicals on my briefcase
or squeeze private regions ofmy
body, I'm fine with that, too.
Hell, if my seventy-something
aunt with the bad hip objects to
any of the above on the grounds
that she hardly fits anyone's profile of a terrorist, I'm perfectly
willing to hold her down until
she has been well and thoroughly frisked.
Just so long as all that
ensures that I can fly safely,
secure in the knowledge that no
one has been allowed to carry
weapons aboard the aircraft. Is
that too much to ask?
Apparently, yes. That's

the unavoidable conclusion now
that a team of reporters from the
New York Daily News has managed, for the second time in a
year, to carry contraband items
through airport security. The
reporters traveled over Labor
Day weekend on one-way tickets
supposedly a security red
flag. They took 14 flights from
11 airports, including those
through which terrorists traveled
last year. The reporters never
tried to evade security checkpoints and made no attempt to
hide the banned items, other
than putting them in carry-on
bags. And, even though the bags
were X-rayed and some were
hand-searched, in no instance
did security find the pepper
spray, razor knives and box cutters packed inside.
You know the part that
scares me? Not just that some-

_

body managed to get weapons
through security, but that journalists did. Not to dis my own,
but we members of the Fourth
Estate aren't exactly known for
our technical savvy and mechanical know-how. We're the kind of
folks who keep Jiffy Lube in
business. If a bunch of English
majors can breach airline security, anybody can.
And that's a disquieting
thought.
Remember those signs
you used to see at security
checkpoints warning you that
the airport in Mugwump, Africa,
or Cgyzny, Eastern Europe, did
not meet U.S. safety standards?
You shook your head, feeling
vaguely sorry for the poor devils
in those backwater places.
Meanwhile, your security routine consisted of being waved
through a metal detector and

politely asked if anyone had
given you a bomb to carry
onboard.
Where airline safety is
concerned, the events of last
Sept. 11 were supposed to have
done two things: end our smugness and toughen our security. A
year later, it seems increasingly
clear that while the former may
have happened, the latter certainly did not. We've been given
the illusion of increased security
without the actual fact of it.
I made several calls,
trying to get someone from the
Federal Aviation Administration
in Washington to explain this to
me. No one ever picked up the
phone. Apparently, the FAA was
not at home.
You think I'm making
that up. I only wish I were.
Hey, I won't pretend
I'm an expert in airline security;

I was an English major, after all.
But I am absolutely an expert in
the field of Not Wanting To

Become Human Confetti While
Trying To Get To Spokane. And
in my considered opinion, the
measures taken to beef up airport security have proven woefully inadequate.
In the first hot days
after Sept. 11, there was lots of
talk that U.S. carriers should
emulate El Al, Israel's state airline, which thoroughly interrogates ever flier, hand searches
every bag, stations air marshals
on every flight. El Al security

important options where students can spend their spare
time and benefit both educationally and financially.
Established in 1963, the
YMCA has played significant
role for the university students
and the community. "This is
the platform where students
and theLock Haven community can mix and enjoy together," said Jason Gotschall, program director ofthe YMCA.
Through the programs like
Project Coffeehouse, YMCA
encourages youths to show
their hidden talent and at the
same time enjoy the programs
in an alcohol and drug-free

Coffeehouse could be your
platform," said Gotschall. The
Coffeehouse runs Monday
through Thursday 7 to 10p.m.
and at 8 p.m. to midnight on
Friday in the basement of
YMCA. Various local and
high school bands usually perform on Friday nights.
Admission is free.
For the fall 2002, Project
Coffee House has organized
digital photography, abstract

workshops. The events are
free and everyone is welcome

Sororities should fight gender
discrimination in housing rules

C.L. Lindsay III

krtcampus.com
Dear CO-STAR:
At my school the men are
allowed to live in their fraternities houses but the sororities are
non-residential. I've been told
that this is because of an old law
that is still on the books in our
town. Supposedly the law outlaws any building with more
than 10 unmarried women living
in it because they are automatically considered to be brothels.
This makes sorority houses illegal. Can old laws like that still
be enforced? Is it true?

that sorority women are not
allowed to live in their houses

Sept. 16-22, 2002
Aries (March 21-April 20). Friendships and light romantic encounters will be pleasing this week. !
Late Tuesday, expect a long-term friend to significantly change his or her attitude or offer solid explanations ofrecent behavior. Social triangles or ongoing jealousies between friends may be a key factor.
Accept new plans, statements or ideas. Wednesday through Saturday, watch health and vitality; brow,
upper chest or throat may be easily irritated.
Taurus (April 21-May 20). Yesterday's financial considerations or business deals may return. Early
Tuesday morning, past records or forgotten payments may be bothersome. Pay special attention to joint
ventures or renewed permissions. Over the next few days, contracts will need to be openly discussed
with younger colleagues. After midweek, social events may be cancelled. Respond with honesty. Others
need your assurance, dedication and attention.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Workplace decisions will be easily reached. Monday through
Wednesday, expect group leadership or team commitments to be obvious and workable. Use this time to
catch up on neglected duties or streamline work practices. Over the next few weeks, authority figures
may ask you to work without supervision. Early Friday, a rare social invitation may have subtle romantic overtones. Expect a friend or co-workers to be flirtatious and gently persuasive.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Watch financial calculations or new facts and figures over the next few
days. Mistakes or business misunderstandings may be costly if not quickly handled. Some Cancerians,
especially those born between 1974 and 1981, may also encounter returning debts or newly rekindled
contracts. If so, state your needs clearly. Before Saturday, authority figures or key partners may attempt
to ignore your requests. Be persistent. Concrete rewards will soon arrive.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Before midweek, romantic partnerships will be intense and pleasing. Even
though loved ones may be emotionally demanding, this is a positive time for shared intimacy and new
growth in relationships. Deep issues of home security and long-term planning may be a strong concern
for loved ones. Keep an open mind and listen for new ideas. Early Saturday watch also for unexpected
invitations or messages from relatives. Revised family plans are accented.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Long-term romantic or family expectations may be on the agenda this
week. For the next few days, expect loved ones and close relatives to feel a powerful need to increase
home and emotional security. All ofthis is positive, but it may also feel a bit dramatic. Expect others to
respond quickly to new emotions or ask probing questions. Late Thursday, financial paperwork will
require attention. Carefully study daily spending, new debts and written agreements.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Romantic messages and short-term plans may be highly changeable this
week. For the next few days, expect loved ones and close friends to be mentally scattered and emotionally unpredictable. All is fine so not to worry. Do, however, pay close attention to late financial changes
or new household debts. Before next week, minor repairs or unexpected expenses may cause delays or
strained relationships.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). New friendships in the workplace will work in your favor over the next
few days. This is a positive and rewarding time to begin expanding your social life or business connections. Some Scorpios may also feel strongly compelled to arrange new travel or educational plans. Early
Saturday evening, sudden flashes of wisdom or intuition are likely. Study close relationships and past
family history for valuable clues.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Social messages may be misleading this week. Over the next few
days, expect friends or work mates to feel divided between competing interests. Take none of it personally. This is mostly a passing mood of scattered mental priorities. Late Thursday afternoon, family relations may be distracting. Expect older relatives to expect added emotional attention. Key issues may
involve family planning, social decisions or home repairs.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20). Home relationships will offer support and encouragement early this

,
-

week. For the past few weeks, loved ones or close friends may have remained silent concerning business ideas or financial proposals. However, over the next few days, others will compliment your past
accomplishments and discuss new business plans. Late Friday, watch for quick glimpses of the future or
powerful dream images. Romantic and social intuition is extremely high.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19). Your emotional influence and personal charm will be noticed. Late
Tuesday, expect friends and co-workers to ask for more of your time than usual. Social relations and
business contacts will increase over the next few days. Remain open to new ideas or proposals. After
midweek, social plans or new entertainment will excite close relatives. Join in; this is a time of positive

,

social increase and new family rewards.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20). Late Tuesday morning, social or family routines may dramatically
change. Over the next few days, expect loved ones to introduce new plans, events or friends into the
home. All are positive but also emotionally demanding. Before midweek, watch for relatives to be easily influenced by outside relationships. After Friday, rest and regain energy. Emotional and physical
resources may be temporarily low.
If your birthday is this week ... Long-term romantic relationships will be challenging over the next
10 weeks. Watch for loved ones and close friends to soon ask probing questions or oiler unusually critical comments. Muddle through and expect slow improvements. In the coming months, previously sluggish or uneventful relationships will steadily expand. After mid-December, pay close attention to subtle
hints or revelations from authority figures. New job openings or career options may arrive early in the
year 2003. Prepare for concrete changes to workplace roles and employment titles.

Boxing coach journeys to Tanzania

west of Africa's highest

The Eagle Eye
While most of us were
home working, performing
internships, and a multitude
of other things this summer
in preparation for fall semester, veteran boxing coach,
Dr. Ken Cox, traveled to
Tanzania in East Africa for
21 days in June.
He served as a guest clinician for the International
Olympic Committee's (IOC)

Course. This was Cox's 10th
IOC Solidarity assignment,
which has, literally, taken
him around the world. Most
recently he taught in Fiji
(1996-97-98), North Korea
(1999),
Ghana (1999),
Bangladesh (2000) Bahamas
(2001) , and now Tanzania
(2002) A professor emeritus in HPER, Cox is also an
elite level IV certified
U.S.A. Boxing coach.
The IOC course consisted
of sixty hours of theoretical,
tactical and technical instruction. To receive credit for
the course, the participants
had to successfully complete
a three-hour written and
practical examination. At
the graduation ceremony
each coach received both an
IOC and USAB Certificate.
Twenty-five regional and
national coaches successfully completed the Level II
examination. The course
lectures were conducted on

While in Tanzania for
three weeks, Cox was afforded the opportunity to visit a
Maasai
village,
the
Ngorongoro Crater, the
National Museum and the
Serengeti Game Reserve
where he enjoyed the exotic
wildlife. He also observed
the traditional folk (ngumas)
dances, attended a traditional
Maasai marriage ceremony
and attended church services
at the International Baptist
Church (AIBC) in Arusha.
"I had the week-ends off
so I could travel and experience the rich cultural traditions that Tanzania offered.
The hub of Tanzania society
is the family," said Cox.
"One of the most memorable
things that I saw was a pack
of 8-10 Cheetahs (duma)
running upwards to 70 mph
in front of our safari truck on
the edge of the Serengeti
National Park. I got to see
all of the hunter's "Big Five",
the leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, buffalo and lion, but
the cheetahs and giraffes
were most impressionable to
me."

Tanzania has 120 tribes,
although the widespread
majority is of Bantu origin.
Despite its size and ethnic
diversity, Tanzania is the
only African country where
language barriers do not
exist among the people. All
the country's inhabitants as
its lingus franca have accepted Kiswahili.
Kiswahili is now a compulsory subject in the country's schools and has been
included in the syllabus at
universities. However the
most widespread and popular
language used in Tanzania is

English and is the dominant
means of communication in
all institutions of learning.
The people of Tanzania
are unbelievably friendly and
get along very well. The
country had been a "communist" nation until the mid
90's. As would be expected,
the transition from developing socialism (communism)
to a democracy has been
somewhat difficult.
However, the population
is working very hard at making the transition. This is

Rugby team loses
scrimmage game
Eric Pfieiffer
The Eagle Eye
The Haven rugby team ventured to Shippensburg last
Friday to scrimmage the DI
team. After a hard fought battle,
the Haven came out the losers,
34-12. Although play was
evenly matched throughout,
Shippensburg was by far a better rucking and passing team
and they capitalized on the
Haven's inexperience.
Throughout the first half,
play was hard nosed and both
teams fought well for the ball.
Bothe teams were hard hitting
and on some drives the Haven
was winning the ball. A score
early put Ship out to a 5-0 lead.
When just minutes later, the
Haven drove the ball right up
the gut of the field culminating
with a score by Jimmy
"Hercules" Rousch. Another
score on excellent passing by
the Shippensburg backs led to a
10-5 lead heading into the sec-

ond half.
Ship led the second off with
a breakaway score followed by
an extra points kick giving them
a hefty 17-5 lead. After an enormous amount of knock-ons and
sloppy passes by both teams,
Ship came out with another
score making the score, 12-5.
Only moments later the Haven
surprised Ship with a quick kick
and Randy "C.J." Helsman
came out with a try. Matt
"Sally" Pollilo made the two
point extra kick and the score
was then 22-12 still in
Shippensburg's favor.
Two final scores in the half
made by Ship put the game basically out of reach for the Haven
and the final was 34-12.
Although this was a disheartening loss for the Haven, the
scrimmage was a good learning
experience for the rookies and
let the Haven know what it
needs to work on for their
upcoming home match against
Bloomsburg this Saturday at 2
p.m. at the West Branch fields.
