Otherwise, Cumberland County Republican Chairman Mary Lewis acknowledges the lopsided races make getting out the vote a tough sell. And that could very well be the case because observers and polls suggest incumbent Republicans Gov. Tom Ridge, U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter and U.S. Rep. Bill Goodling, R-19 had their races all but sewn up a long time ago. In Cumberland, Rep. Pat Vance, R-87, faces no challenge. But neither race is considered close enough to threaten the incumbents. That's not the case in Shippensburg, where Republican challenger Bob Thomas is running hard to unseat incumbent Democrat Jeff Coy in the 89th state House race.
Neighbors look at damage to the rear of the home.
A bizarre three-car accident Sunday afternoon sent one car swerving through the front corner of a South York Street home in Mechanicsburg. No other injuries were reported in the crash. Mrs. Sturms returned to the scene this morning following her release from the hospital Sunday night to take pictures of the damaged house at 222 South York Street. She was on her way to Mechanicsburg Police headquarters, where she hoped to get more information on the crash that she said happened so quickly she couldn't remember many details. Police say Mrs. Sturms' vehicle was driving northbound on South York Street Sunday afternoon when it was struck by an eastbound vehicle at the intersection of West Keller Street.
