U.S. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-8th) made the following statement regarding his commitment to visit ‘100 Businesses in 100 Days’: “I am visiting ‘100 Businesses in 100 Days’ because I truly believe that the next three months may be one of the most critical stretches of time to get our economy moving again.

Saturday's Zumbathon will benefit Dylan Palm's summer trip to Europe, where he will be a student ambassador representing William Tennent.
Fifteen years ago, doctors presented a pregnant Marlene Palm with an impossible choice that, for Palm, was not really a choice at all. "They said I might have to abort one of my twins," said Palm. "There was something wrong in the amniotic fluid. I told them there was no way I could do that. If he comes to term as a stillborn, than so be it." It turns out that Dylan came out healthy and happy. Six months later, however, it became clear that there was something seriously wrong with his twin brother, Jarrett. "Parts of his brain did not fully develop," said Palm. "There's no official term for the diagnosis, so he is categorized as having seizure disorder so that the doctors can treat him. Jarrett gets about 10 to 12 seizures a day." Since …
