The Hi & Lois comic strip in today's comic section of the newspaper includes a reference to flooding. The section was printed before the news about the flooding disaster in Asia from the tsunami, and is not intended to make light of that tragedy. CELEBRATING A BIRTHDAY Saturday is Diane Pitzer of Slippery Rock. BELATED BIRTHDAY WISH to Elizabeth Elaine Erkman, daughter of Joey and Aimee Erkman of East Brady, who turned 1 on Friday.

Items for Town & County should be submitted on weekdays no later than 4 p.m. the day before requested publication.
