Karhnak Girls Earn Farm Show Honors As Susquehanna County 4-Her’s Misty and Megan Karhnak were raising this year’s 2005 Farm Show animals, they were thinking about how they did at the local fairs and how they wished they could come close to winning an award at the Farm Show. When you compete at the Farm Show, you are competing with the best of the best. This year at the 2004 Wyoming County Fair, Misty received Grand Champion Market Steer and Megan received Grand Champion Homebred Market Lamb. They both competed for Grand Champion Market Hog at the 2004 Harford fair. Misty and Megan work very hard and know "That one day all their dreams will come true." Part of their dream this year came true at the 2005 Pa Farm Show and that dream was to either make sale with their animals or try to get close as possible to first and second place.
4-Her’s Misty and Megan Karhnak, of Springville earned high placing at this year’s PA Farm Show. When they arrived at the Farm Show Misty's lamb weighed in at 114 pounds, and Megan's lamb weighed in at 120 pounds. The next day they both competed in the sheep Skill-a-thon, which is a test about sheep management, meat cuts, feed table, medications and the type of equipment needed. Misty received seventh place and Megan received third place. Also Megan received third place in Outstanding Young Shepherd. She was very excited. Saturday night when she showed her lamb, she received 14th place and the lamb didn't make sale, but as Megan says, "I tried my best and it all paid off in the Skill-a-ton." Misty received eighth place with her lamb and she made sale. Misty was very excited. On Sunday, their pigs arrived and were weighed in. Misty's pig weighed in at 248 pounds, and Megan's pig weighed in at 233 pounds. First, Megan went in the show ring and received sixth place. She was so excited her pig made sale. Next, Misty's pig was ready to go in the show ring and she was very nervous. As Misty was showing her pig the judge put her in fourth place but then the judge decided to pull the first four places out in the show ring again. When the first four places were brought back in the show ring the judge started explaining what he liked about the pigs. The judge started talking about Misty's pig and then he said, "The young lady received third place instead of fourth.” She was so shocked because this was her dream. Misty and Megan had their best year so far, showing at the 2005 Farm Show.

Megan's Law Sex Offender Web Site HARRISBURG - Rep. Tina Pickett (R-Bradford/Sullivan/Susquehanna) reported today that a new, more comprehensive Megan's Law Web site is now up and running, providing vital information the public can use to protect themselves and their families from known sex offenders. The Web site is www.pameganslaw.state.pa.us or can be accessed through the Pennsylvania State Police Web site, www.psp.state.pa.us, and then clicking on the hyperlink to the Megan's Law Web site. "This new and improved Web site is an obvious public safety benefit but is of even more importance to those of us who live along Pennsylvania's borders," Pickett said. "Sex offenders may be permitted by their parole officers to move from one state to another. However, Pennsylvania's Megan's Law still requires them to register if they move into the Commonwealth - knowledge that can be gleaned by going to the new Megan's Law Web site." The Web site includes photographs and information on all of the nearly 7,000 registered sexual offenders in Pennsylvania. At the bottom of the main text of the Web site, click on "psp sex offender search," to conduct searches by county, city, ZIP code, name or alias. The most current picture of the offender, name, offenses committed, date of conviction, county and municipality of residence, as well as county and municipality of place of business or higher education facility will be also listed. An exact street address will be listed only for sexually violent predators (SVPs), who represent less than 1 percent - about 60 - of all registered sexual offenders in the Commonwealth. Act 152 of 2004 strengthens penalties for noncompliance with the provisions of Megan's Law, adds offenses, requires periodic audits by the Pennsylvania Attorney General and provides for notification in private communities. "We've made our state's Megan's Law stronger and more comprehensive," Pickett said. "Now, if an offender moves into Pennsylvania from another state, the state with the stronger regulations governing sex offenders would apply to notifications and registrations in Pennsylvania. The new Web site enables all of us to stay alert, protecting our children and ourselves from possible danger."
