"I think people changed that day," said Feathers.

"We're more caring and we tried to band together." She said the war in Iraq should be a constant reminder of Sept. 11,2001. "Every time you hear about a soldier losing his or her life, you think about that day and the innocent lives that were lost." Even eight years later. Randy Witherite of Piney Ridge doesn't just remember where he was when he first heard the news of the attacks. "I remember the whole day," said Witherite.

"I definitely think some things have changed. We're not as naive as we were, traveling is not as easy, but most people understand why, and things of that nature. He thinks the government has done a good job protecting Americans since that day. "It's never going to be perfect," said ICE CKEAM fESTlVAL (Sept. 12 4 p.m.

He also was called to serve in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War from 1968-1972. "1 was fortunate because they sent me to Hawaii because of my pediatric experience," said Lidston. It was after his time in Ohio that knew he wanted work in "a small college town that had to have mountains and be reasonably close to live theater," he said.

Thus bringing the Lidston family to Huntingdon. Much has changed in his 34 years as a pWiatriciSh. "Immunizations have changed things a lot," said Lidston, recalling the five to seven cases of meningitis he saw each year and cases of polio in Big Valley. "Immunizations have virtually stopped that." Technology has also advanced the field of medicine since Lidston arrived in Huntingdon. "Ultrasounds used to be a faith study to believe what the radiologists were saying," said Lidston, referring to fuzzy images.

"A CT scan was purely research when I was in medical school. We've gone from that to superb equipment. It's amazing what the computer has done." He's also had the opportunity to work with some fine physicians. "Dr. (Charles) Schucker was a skilled man," said Lidston.

"He knew how to use forceps safely, but he also knew when to do a C-section. He had good judgment." He cited Dr. Phillip Dunn as a "gentleman's gentleman" and praised both him and the late Dr. David Miller for "knowing their' limits and knowing when to call for help." Among the finest and closest to him though is his colleague. HUNTINGDON AMERICAN LEGION DANCE SEPT.

"We have quite different personalities, but we have a high regard for each other's judgment," said Lidston. "We blend our different strengths and compliment each other." When Huntingdon Pediatrics closes, Dr.

Ettenger will work, along with two new pediatricians, for J.C. Blair Medical Services Inc. Pediatric Care Center. As with anyone who has more than three decades of experience in their field, Lidston can tell a story or two from over the years. He has diagnosed youth with minor and serious illness, who have gone on to have successful careers and children of their own.

He can also recall ambulance rides, emergency room visits and even deaths, that have been emotional through the years. "I've seen some rare cases through the years. I've treated some good families and I've cried with some families," he said. "You're always learning." Lidston recently discovered he's never far from his profession. After a fall last winter, he was hospitalized.

While in his bed, he realized a heartbreaking event was occurring next door. "I knew something bad was happening," said Lidston, who later found out a young man had been in a car accident and his family was faced with the decision to turn his respirator off and donate his organs. "When the nurse came back, I could tell she was upset and we ended up talking for two hours," recalled Lidston. Soon, the other night nurse came in and before the night was over, he had helped three nurses through the difficult situation. He also helped one of his physical therapists get some help for her son who was experiencing health problems.

"You never leave your profession," said Lidston. That's exactly what he plans to do for now.

1, he will be keep his medical mind sharp by filling in for physicians who are out and he will lead employee health at the hospital. He has other plans for his retirement, too. "My woodshop," said Lidston. He built a woodshop a few years ago and plans to use it to build items, such as the homemade cherry bookcase he made for his wife. He also plans to stay active with the Stone Church of the Brethren, where he and Carolyn are members.

He was also asked to serve on the advisory board for the artists series at Penn State University, an offer he has accepted. How does Lidston feel about retirement? "I have mixed feelings," he said. "I would like to work part time, but liability costs make that impossible." In the future, Lidston said he hopes to see serious efforts to control tort reform. "When I started, liability costs were $180 a year compared to a month today," said Lidston. "It really affects rural health care today." THE DAILY NEWS Founded in 1922 By Joseph F.
