Human activity can have measurable impacts on sulfur levels in the world's water bodies. Atmospheric sulfur dioxide pollution and the resulting acid rain increases freshwater sulfate levels, and individual pollution sources deposit organic sulfur compounds in river sediments. Since the affected water bodies can be the primary sources of sulfur in adjacent marsh environments, anthropogenic pollution may influence the sulfur cycling of nearby marshes. Appropriate levels of plant-available sulfur are necessary for plant growth in marshes, though too much sulfur can damage plants. Saline marshes are often high-sulfur environments due to the steady sulfur inputs that come from seawater present in saline estuaries. Sulfur content is more variable in less saline environments, where primary inputs are rainfall and freshwater runoff. The link between human activity and sulfur levels in marsh soils has not yet been established, since research has not clearly demonstrated the effects of human activity on sulfur in saline water bodies and has generally not sought to link water-body sulfur levels to plant-available sulfur levels or area marsh health.

Reid Menzer Memorial Skatepark will open to the public after a ceremony at 1 p.m., the culmination of more than two years of work to create a place to skate in York City's Veterans Memorial Park. \"Now that you stand down in this ditch 9 feet down and look up, now you realize how big it is now that it's almost done,\" Menzer said. \"We wouldn't have started if we didn't know we would pay it off,\" Menzer said.

Parade organizers changed the parade at the request of the city, which provides manpower to close intersections and direct traffic, said Alan Vandersloot, who is involved with the parade as the labor liaison for the United Way of York County. Leading the parade as the grand marshal will be Tom Wolf, state secretary of revenue, Vandersloot said. Thirty to 40 groups typically participate in the parade, including labor unions, baton twirlers and fire trucks.

\"I think it's pretty clear that that's a piece that's a critical piece for the development of the city,\" [Joe Musso] said. \"This is a bit like doing an oil painting,\" [Steve Heffner] said. \"It's a little bit here and a little bit there.\" Steve Heffner, owner of B&E Junction in York, sits on the seat the engineer was on when the GG-1 Engine 4876 crashed into Union Station in Washington, D.C., in 1953.

West Manchester Township resident John Moyer, 88, calls the GG-1 a \"good engine.\" \"When it did that, I knew we were sunk,\" Moyer said. \"That meant no brakes.\" The engine still ran smoothly until later changes to its equalizing bars roughened the ride, Moyer said. He spent a lot of time in the engine until the two retired in the 1980s, and he said he'd like another chance to see \"the old girl\" that gave him the ride of his life.

The bills also replaced language that said the city \"shall\" take specific action against deteriorating properties, specifying instead that the city has the authority to take action as officials see fit. Assistant city solicitor Don Hoyt said the change will make it clear that the city is not required to keep properties to code, which is the responsibility of the property owner. \"I'm not sure that the amendment here that trumps everything else ... is the responsible way to go,\" [Witczak] said. \"When they're in imminent danger, we don't need to set up a bureaucratic maze that puts people's lives in danger,\" [Cameron Texter] said.

A new contract, approved by the York City Council on Tuesday and previously by Teamsters Local 776, covers 61 blue-collar city employees who work in the city's public works department, parking bureau and wastewater treatment plant, said Randy Helt, deputy director of human resources. medications unless a doctor says a more expensive name-brand medication is medically necessary, and be required to try less expensive treatments before more expensive options, O'[Rourke] said.

The pharmacy will be relocated to a part of the hospital closer to the patient discharge area, [Robert Heidelbaugh] said. Renovations will turn the current pharmacy space into a place where students can spend time with live actors to practice their diagnostic skills, Heidelbaugh said.

\"Look at how beautiful they are,\" said Kitty Miller as she held one in her hand Friday. \"They're gorgeous.\" \"We're going to have plenty of tomatoes, there's no question there,\" [John Ilyes] said. \"They're just a little later.\" Robert Fitz of Fitz Brothers Farm in York Township displays tomatoes Friday at the farm's Eastern Market stand.
