So there is a bit of a walk down memory lane.

These are videos of the children riding bike. This is the first day that they learned to ride on 2 wheels. All three of them just learned.

Sneak Peek: Iranium Movie – Featuring John Bolton – Former Ambassador Bolton interviewed about the Iranian nuclear threat for the upcoming movie Iranium. Brought to you by the makers of the critically-acclaimed documentaries “Obsession” and “The Third Jihad.”

Synoposis: The Clarion Fund, producer of the films Obsession and The Third Jihad, is producing a new film on the Iranian Nuclear threat. We believe that this is the most important and time-sensitive film we could make at this time.

Since the inception of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran has displayed an absolute hatred for the West. Coupled with an extremist ideology, this regime has terrorized the world at large for over 30 years.

Our 45-minute film will explore the principles of the revolution, and visually demonstrate the hatred and violence exhibited by Iran’s brutal leadership. The film will document the regime’s abusive treatment of their once proud citizenry, and will chronicle the regime’s use of terror proxies abroad to inflict deadly messages on their self-described enemies.

(Update at bottom)

A tractor-trailer crash is causing big backups on Route 222 in Lancaster County. The crash has shut down the northbound lanes of 222 one mile south of the Ephrata exit. The southbound lanes are being stopped periodically to let drivers turn around.The crash involved a tractor-trailer, a BMW SUV and a van.

Four people were hurt. A tractor trailer, operated by Gary C. Tompkins, age 54, of Oneida, Tennessee, was traveling north on SR 222 and encountered traffic that had slowed down due to the lane restriction. The tractor-trailer stuck the rear of a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica operated by a female. The Pacifica was pushed off to the right side of the road where it overturned. The tractor trailer then struck the rear of a 2007 Toyota Sienna, which was also slowing down for traffic, operated by Gerald Russell, age 63 , of Owego, NY. Tompkins was not hurt, but the driver of the Pacifica and a female passenger were taken to Reading Hospital by ambulance. Russell suffered minor injuries but was not hospitalized. A passenger in Russell’s vehicle, Sharon Chambers, of Cooperstown, N.Y., was taken to Ephrata Hospital by ambulance.
