Key to boating safety: Know the conditions
LANCASTERONLINE
Boaters can get a sense of conditions on the Susquehanna River in Lancaster County long before they hit the water.
One resource is the Lower Susquehanna River Hotline (1-800-692-6328).
Maintained by Safe Harbor Water Power Corp., the hotline offers a daily recording describing the water levels and conditions for the Lake Clarke and Lake Aldred sections of the Susquehanna.
The information also can be found on Safe Harbor's website, shwpc.com.

Judge tosses lawsuit by Gov. Corbett against NCAA
CBS21 NEWS
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday threw out the governor's lawsuit against the NCAA over sanctions against Penn State related to Jerry Sandusky, calling his argument "a Hail Mary pass" that easily warranted dismissal.
U.S. Middle District Judge Yvette Kane's decision puts an early end to the anti-trust lawsuit Gov. Tom Corbett filed in January in which he sought to overturn a $60 million fine, a four-year bowl ban, scholarship limits and other penalties.
She said she could not "find any factual allegations supporting (Corbett's) allegation of 'concerted action' that might nudge its conspiracy claim into 'plausible' territory."

Lancaster City Council weighs applying for $5M grant to build secondary water line
LANCASTERONLINE
When the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee dumped as much as 15 inches of rain on parts of Lancaster County, roads and bridges washed away. Homes were flooded and people were rescued in boats.
The September 2011 storm didn't interrupt the supply of water to Lancaster city customers, but it came perilously close. Too close for Public Works Director Charlotte Katzenmoyer.
Among the areas washed away were the banks of a stream near the city's main water supply line coming from the Susquehanna River water plant near Columbia.
