Winterfest Parade - Details
Now that the Winterfest Parade has been approved – here are the details
The parade will take place on December 3rd. We will begin lining up at 10:00 a.m. on Ohio Avenue at Post Road (Make a right onto Hill or Dieter Avenue and then a left onto Ohio going toward Post Road) and the parade will start promptly at 10:30 a.m. (Parking will be available in the church parking lot). We anticipate that the parade will last approximately 1 hour.
Someone will be there directing the line up, the first in line will be the police officer, then the fire truck, after that we have to see who shows up.
The parade route is as follows: start on Post Road left onto S. Pennsylvania Avenue; right onto Delaware Avenue; left onto Washington; left onto E. Bridge; right onto N. Pennsylvania; left onto Hillcrest Avenue; right onto N. Lafayette; left onto Palmer ending at the Morrisville Intermediate/High School.
This is truly a community event. Any resident, club or group from Morrisville can be in the parade: Scouts, Vets, youth groups, clubs, bands and churches are encouraged to participate. The only exclusion will be any person running for public office.
Remember that this is a parade to celebrate the upcoming winter holidays when decorating your float or the vehicle you choose to ride in. Please feel free to let your inner child loose and be a little crazy!
Can’t wait to see everyone there!

Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address
| March 4, 1865. Fellow-Countrymen: At this second appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured. | 1 |
| On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it, all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war—seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came. | 2 |
| One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." | 3 |
| With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. | 4 |
Morrisville School Board Election Results
Morrisville school board
Posted: Tuesday, November 8, 2011 10:45 pm | Updated: 12:35 am, Wed Nov 9, 2011.
5 seats — 4 years
Democrats
Wanda Kartal — 812
Damon Miller— 824
Ted Parker — 778
David Stoneburner — 825
Stephen Worob (I) — 583
Republicans
Bill Hellmann (I) — 682
Marlys Mihok (I) — 634
Alfred Radosti (I) — 705
Yvonne Ruthrauff (I) — 643
Stephen Worob (I) — 600
1 seat — 2 years
Democrat Alina C. Marone (Uncontested)
All but one Morrisville school board incumbent lost.
The race for five, four-year board seats wasn't about party affiliation; instead, it was about community groups with a mix of Democrats and Republicans.
Four of the five winners are Morrisville Matters candidates — Democrats Wanda Kartal and Damon Miller and Republicans Ted Parker and David Stoneburner, who ran as Democrats because they won that party's ticket.
"We need to get in and see what's going on," Kartal said after her victory. "Right now, we are outsiders looking in."
Morrisville Matters candidates have been unhappy with the district's administrative setup, as well as funding and the handling of teacher aides. They also believe test scores are lacking significantly. They would like more emphasis on academics, she said.
They won, but their monthly meeting schedules won't change, she said. She and her running mates are expected to attend Wednesday's superintendent's meeting, followed by the board agenda meeting, as they do every month.
The other winner was incumbent Stephen Worob, a Republican who also ran as a Democrat because he won both primaries.
The defeated Stay on Course candidates were mostly Republicans: Bill Hellmann, Al Radosti and Yvonne Ruthrauff. Also on their team was Marlys Mihok, a Democrat who ran as a Republican because she won the Republican primary. Worob also ran under their banner.
The newspaper was unsuccessful in reaching Stay on Course candidates for comment Tuesday night.
