THE SPEAKER (SAMUEL H. SMITH) PRESIDING PRAYER HON. BRYAN BARBIN, member of the House of Representatives, offered the following prayer: Gracious God, we bow our heads in praise. Thank You for this day and the wisdom that comes from Your Word. In Sirach You call us to rob not the poor man of his livelihood nor force the eyes of the needy to turn away; grieve not a hungry man nor delay to give to the needy; avert not our eyes from the face of the poor nor let justice be repugnant to You. As Your stewards in the budget process, help us remember that You are present in the face of the poor, the sick, and the hungry, and that whatever we do for the least of Your people that we do unto You. Bless the sorrowing and bless the sacrifice of those who continue to protect our freedom, and all God's children said "Amen."

I would like to invite Representative Santarsiero and Representative Galloway to the rostrum for the purpose of presenting a citation to the Pennsbury Cheerleading Teams. The gentleman, Mr. Santarsiero, may proceed. Mr. SANTARSIERO. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is indeed an honor for Representative Galloway and me to welcome the Pennsbury Varsity and JV (Junior Varsity) Cheerleading Teams here today. It is once again an opportunity for us to recognize the outstanding achievements of students at Pennsbury High School. Today the varsity and junior varsity teams, as I said, have joined us in the hall of the House to be recognized for their accomplishments. On March 17 and 18 of this year, both squads capped their competitive seasons by winning their respective national titles at AmeriCheer Internationals at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Overall, the varsity team won eight competitions, which also included the American Masters National Championships in January. The JV team also won the American Masters National Championships. Joining me at the rostrum, along with Representative Galloway, are varsity coach Dotty Kerr; junior you can go ahead; that is fine junior varsity coach Nicole Roberts; varsity captains Melissa Petty, Lindsay Zajdel, and Kourtnie Strong. You know, next week, as is the case at high schools across Pennsylvania, it will be commencement day for Pennsbury, and I know we have three seniors up here today and I know a number of seniors are with the group in the back of the hall of the House. I just want to say, as a former teacher myself and as a dad with kids in the Pennsbury system, that I want to wish those graduating seniors the very best as they go forth and to tell them always to do their best and to never lose sight of their goals, because as this experience has shown, they are perfectly capable of achieving them. So I would ask for all of you to join us in congratulating the entire Pennsbury varsity and junior varsity cheerleading squads. Thank you. The SPEAKER. The gentleman, Mr. Galloway, is recognized for additional comments. Mr. GALLOWAY. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate it. And as a Pennsbury graduate, it is always a great pleasure to recognize the achievements of Pennsbury High School students. I graduated from Pennsbury I always get stuck on this one a long time ago. It was a long time ago, 1977, and it is great to see the Pennsbury students up here. I would like to second everything that Representative Santarsiero said. The list of competitions won by Pennsbury is quite impressive: first place and grand champions at the Gloucester Township Athletic Association; first place, Villanova University Wildcat Blue Devil Challenge; first place, National Champions and Highest Score of All Schools, Judges Choice Award for Overall Performance at American Masters National Championships; first place and grand champions at the Cupid Cheer Challenge; first place at the Sweetheart Extreme Cheerleading Competition; first place and grand champions at the Garden State Championships; first place at the Gotta Cheer Cheerleading Competition; and first place and national champions at AmeriCheer Internationals. Congratulations to all you girls. Thanks a lot for coming up. Let us give them a big round of applause, and let us go Falcons. I appreciate it. Thank you. The SPEAKER. Will all of our guests from the teams please stand and be recognized. Please stand. Welcome to the hall of the House, girls. GREAT VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL BOYS INDOOR TRACK TEAM PRESENTED The SPEAKER. We would like to invite Representative Milne to the rostrum for the purpose of presenting a citation to the Great Valley High School Indoor Track Team. The gentleman, Mr. Milne, may proceed. Mr. MILNE. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise this afternoon to proudly welcome members of the Great Valley Boys Indoor Track and Field Team. It always gives me great pleasure to welcome teams from Great Valley High School, not only because on this Friday evening at graduation we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of a graduating class from Great Valley, but also because and this is why I say "we" because these gentlemen will soon be joining me in the alumni ranks of being a Great Valley High School graduate. What brings this team up here to Harrisburg today is to celebrate and mark its winning the State title in the distance medley at the Pennsylvania Track and Field Coaches Association State Track and Field Championships. Now, for those who may not be familiar with a distance medley, it is a little bit different than a standard track relay

6 912 LEGISLATIVE JOURNAL HOUSE JUNE 4 where you may think of everybody running the same distance. In a distance medley, each of the team members runs a different distance, so it is a careful calibration of getting the right combination of speed and stamina on the team. The first leg is a 1200-meter leg, followed by a 400-meter leg, an 800-meter leg, and culminating with a 1600-meter leg. That is about 4,000 meters that is 4,000 meters just under 2.5 miles. And this team set their time at 10 minutes seconds at that meet to win the State title. Now, this team kept driving on, though, and at the Philadelphia Area Track and Field Coaches Association "Meet of Champions," they won this same event, and that earned them a spot on the All-State Team in Pennsylvania. So we are very, very proud of their accomplishments. And what I would like to do is introduce the members of the team up here. We have with us today Ned Willig if you would raise your hand Demetrius McCary, Matt Willig, and Billy Wolffe. They are joined by coach Nicole Jones, and in the back of the hall we have coaches Emily Bonnem, Mike Kelly, and Paul Hadzor. The SPEAKER. Will our additional guests in the rear please stand. Welcome to the hall of the House. Mr. MILNE. Mr. Kelly and Mr. Hadzor were coaches and teachers when I was at Great Valley, so they have been around a few years. But it is great to see them as always. Having lunch with these young men, I can tell you that we have some great outstanding athletes here who have a really good balance between academics and their athletic performance, and you are going to see them be really successful graduates of Great Valley and contribute much to the future of Pennsylvania. Let me just note that we have two seniors up here with us. First we have Demetrius, who will be going to the University of Delaware to study chemical engineering, which I told him was above my pay grade, but it is great that we have somebody interested in engineering in this country. And over here we have Ned Willig, who will be studying political science at Brown University, and I have assured him there is a future in politics for him. So with that, one more round of applause for the Great Valley Boys Indoor Track Team. Go Patriots. BILLS REPORTED FROM COMMITTEE, CONSIDERED FIRST TIME, AND TABLED HB 2316, PN 3375 By Rep.

BILL ON SECOND CONSIDERATION The House proceeded to second consideration of HB 2223, PN 3145, entitled: An Act amending the act of January 19, 1967 (1968 P.L.992, No.442), entitled, as amended, "An act authorizing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the local government units thereof to preserve, acquire or hold land for open space uses," further providing for local taxing options. Will the House agree to the bill on second consideration? Mr. HENNESSEY offered the following amendment No. A10804: Amend Bill, page 2, lines 21 and 22, by striking out "in an amount up to twenty-five percent of the annual " in line 21 and "revenue" in line 22 and inserting annually, up to 25% of the accumulated balance of the fund Amend Bill, page 2, line 24, by inserting after "benefits", or alternatively, for purposes of allocation, the local government unit may create a maintenance fund into which the local government unit may deposit in an amount up to 25% of the annual revenue from the levy authorized by referendum, to maintain property acquired pursuant to this act for an open space benefit or benefits The SPEAKER. On that question, the Speaker recognizes the gentleman from Chester County, Mr. Hennessey. Mr. HENNESSEY. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This amendment seeks to cover situations where townships over the years have accumulated substantial amounts of open space and find in a particular year that 25 percent of that year's revenue from the open space tax would not be sufficient to do the maintenance that has either been deferred or is necessary for the substantial acreage they have already accumulated. It would give them, give the townships the opportunity of keeping the 25-percent limit to simply use more than 1 year's revenue, or 25 percent of 1 year's revenue, for the maintenance needs that they have for that particular year. It would also create a situation where they could, if they wished, take up to 25 percent each year and put it into a maintenance fund and essentially consider that as having spent the maintenance, that money allowed in that given year, even though all they had done was put it into a maintenance fund for future use. This has been agreed to by the maker of the amendment, and after the committee meeting we talked to a number of the groups involved and they were in favor of the amendment as well. So I ask the members' approval. On the amendment, the Speaker recognizes the lady from Lebanon County, Mrs. Gingrich. Mrs. GINGRICH. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to take a moment to add that the amendment from my colleague in Chester County does add clarity to the intent of the bill, so I would also recommend support for the amendment, and thank you.

I hope that when the bill passes that the skiers do not say to the bartender, "I'll take one for the road," because that may be quite an adventure for that skier to be up on the slope coming down at a very fast speed and the snow mogul is there and he does not quite know what direction to go, and, you know, you get the picture.
