The Carlisle Area School District reports include information on how each school compares with other schools in terms of class sizes, absenteeism and state school assessment test results.

The 10 school reports also include the history of the building, its programs, staff, enrollment, awards and other achievements. Many involved Building principals were responsible for putting together the reports. They organized committees who complete the project, with each committee in charge of a particular section of the report. The idea was to show the public that each building within the district is unique. "Each one has its own personality," says Wesley James, district assistant to the superintendent for human resources.

Superintendent Gerald Fowler says he is very excited about the award and appreciates the efforts "of the school principals. The district has seven elementary' schools: North Dickinson, Mt. Holly Springs, Bellaire, Hamilton, LeTort, Mooreland and Crestview; two middle schools, Wilson and Lamberton; and Carlisle High School. Copies available Copies of the building report cards are available to the public in the district office. James says the district will continue to do the reports, but officials have not decided whether to update them annually or every two years.

Carlisle Area School District earned an on its report cards. The district won an award of excellence for best community newsletter from the Pennsylvania School Boards Association for school "report cards" it sent to parents concerning each of the district's 10 schools.

Wal-Mart opening date still unknown (Bye, By David Blymire Sentinel Reporter the process could take three months. Zamias still must post a bond with the borough for construction of Wal-Mart, Womack says. The bond is the last administrative hurdle the company must clear before building the store.

Borough council approved the project in August 2000, but Zamias twice asked the borough to extend a deadline for posting the bond. Two of the last remaining anchor stores in the mall, Ames and Wards, had See Wal-Mart, A4 Demolition began inside and recently moved to the outside of the structure. Womack says Zamias' contractor encountered asbestos in the old mall's walls. That forced the contractor to apply for a permit from the state Department of Environmental Protection before the material can be removed. "You can't just gather it up and throw it away," Womack says.

He adds the borough was given no timetable for completing the demolition. A Zamias official previously told the Sentinel Demolition of MJ Carlisle Mall began recently to clear the way for a Wal-Mart supercenter. Zamias Services Inc. plans to build a Wal-Mart in the center of the mall off Noble Boulevard at the south end of the borough. Zamias paid $2,258 for a borough demolition permit issued on July 13, says Ken Wom-ack, manager of planning, zoning and codes.

It is being inspected by the some of the park's 35 state-licensed inspectors. So far, Gallia says, no defects have been discovered. The inspection should conclude today or Thursday.

All but two had been released by Tuesday afternoon.

Adventure Amusement Park officials say they may know today how the ride a giant, tilted spinning wheel sheared off its axis and crashed to the pavement. "We're in touch with them daily," Gallia says. Hersheypark inspectors check out every ride twice a day, he says once before the park opens and again when the park closes for the day. Other parks across the country also have closed their Chaos rides. See Chaos, A4 Region dries up ERIE (AP) The region skirting the Great Lakes from Ohio to New York is experiencing "abnormally dry" weather conditions, the National Weather Service.

Erie, has recorded its driest July since 1916, just three months after suffering its snowiest winter ever recorded. July's rainfall was .52 inches at Erie International Airport, says Martin Thompson, a meteorological technician with the National Weather Service. Part of western New York already is experiencing drought conditions, he says. "The whole region can be considered an abnormally dry region running from Toledo all the way up the lake shore to Buffalo and beyond," says Kirk Lombardy, of the National Weather Service. Conditions in the region are raising fears the area may be susceptible to fires from lightning or those accidentally set by people.

Assistant Erie Fire Chief Tom Lawson said dry conditions already have contributed to six fires in the area this summer. A March 26 snowstorm brought to 144.9 inches the total snowfall logged in Erie, making it the snowiest winter ever recorded. Weather records for Erie date back to 1 847, Lombardy says.

Other-w ise, we wouldn't have launched it," said Brendan Foley, general manager of global condiments and sauces for Heinz. "But the momentum it built, the frenzy we saw, I don't know we expected that." Which brings us back to purple, a color previously linked with royalty, the 1970s Minnesota Vikings defense. Prince, Alice Walker's book and. of course, that big TV dinosaur.

At Heinz, corporate executives kept a close watch on the letters and e-mails coming from the good people -that is, children who generate ketchup sales. On the Heinz website, kids were asked to guess hat the new color would be, hot pink, purple, orange or yellow (though that might be confused with mustard). The answ er was a resounding endorsement for the color purple. "Purple is one of the hottest colors for kid right now. In an era when kids can't get enough monsters and izards, the bold, powerful, color purple has reached new heights of popularity," said Jay de Sibour, president of the Color Marketing Group, a not-for-profit international association of designers.

See Ketchup, A4 PITTSBURGH (AP) Heinz is hoping for a purple reign with the condiment formerly known as ketchup. Seeing no reason to let last year's success with green ketchup go to waste, Heinz on Tuesday took another step away from the days of plain, old, monochromatic red ketchup, adding "Funky Purple" to its crayon box of kid's condiment colors. Think of it: by September, kids armed with Heinz EZ Squirt bottles will be able to draw Harry Potter lightning bolts on hot dogs, flowers on hamburgers, and Barney, in living color, all over your white kitchen tablecloth. Isn't that cute? From Heinz' perspective, the decision makes perfect business sense, since it couldn't keep "Blastin' Green" on store shelves after introducing it last year. With the marketing campaign aimed squarely at children, the green ketchup came in a new plastic squeeze bottle, specially designed with a narrow nozzle to let kids paint their food with precision.

In seven months, Heinz sold more than 10 million bottles of green ketchup a pace which helped give the Pittsburgh condiment company a whopping 59 percent of the American ketchup market, up from 54.7 percent of the market immediately prior to green ketchup.
