Drought watch in effect for 45 counties
HARRISBURG (Dauphin
Co.) Recently Department of
Environmental Protection
(DEP) Secretary David E. Hess
expanded Pennsylvania’s
drought watch to include 22 ad
ditional counties.
“We’re urging residents in
these additional 22 counties to
voluntarily cut back their water
use because the generally hot
and dry weather during July
and August has caused a rapid
decline of our groundwater sup
plies,” Secretary Hess said.
“Simply put, it hasn’t rained,
and so our water supplies aren’t
being replenished.
Secretary Hess noted that,
since August 2000, precipitation
deficits in the 22 additional
counties range from about nine
to 14 inches. The bulk of this
deficit accumulated in July and

with high platform shoes. The
women who appear to be over 20
seem always to be dressed in
stylish dresses that are in styles
most Americans would reserve
for special occasions.
They wear high heels, often
spikes. They walk with ease and
far distances, but are always
smiling although we American
guests groan with the pain their
feet must feel.
Their haircuts are very Amer
ican. The men and teen-age boys
do not seem to be dressed as styl
ish. Their fashions are varied,
but often double knit pants and
a plain, polyester shirt.
This is the month of weddings
and we were privileged to ob
serve two. One was in a large ca
thedral. Visitors tour the famous
church while the wedding
progresses.
Every wedding guest is
dressed in great style and most
guests carry flowers to present
to the couple. Their weddings
require two days of celebration.
A wedding reception was in
progress in the Ag Advisory
Hall. They danced all night. We
watched them for awhile.
They were quite energetic and
enthusiastic. Food and drink is

night. In the morning breakfast

hall after the guests departed.
We were told guests went home
for a few hours sleep but will
gather around noon again to eat,
dance and celebrate. Imagine
that expense.
We stopped to view the advi
sory center in Pultusk and were
greeted by ODR employees.
They served us a full course
dinner although we were sched
uled elsewhere for the evening
meal.
Smiling in appreciation, team
members indulged, impressed
by the variety and taste. We
wished they would hand out rec
ipes. Because we cannot
converse with them, we are not
able to determine how the dishes
are prepared.
Again and again, we think we
are eating the main course only
to be followed by more and more
food.
Then it’s off to a campfire at
an agrotourism farm and
supper. We moan about the
pounds we are gaining. But it is
impolite to refuse food. Not that
we want to because it tastes so
good. I like it better than Ameri
can food.
The campfire seems rather
American and they grill superb
pork and bratwurst.
Our stomachs are much too
full.
