Natural burials at Maple Grove deserve a referendum
I am writing in reference to the Township Trustees decision to allow unembalmed bodies to be buried in Granville at Maple Grove Cemetery. Residents should vote on such a unsavory decision. It shouldn t be forced on us. Maple Grove is an established cemetery with strict rules for decades on proper burials.
I have a family plot there and decomposing bodies is not one of the proprieties. These graves will not be marked and or segregated. What if they are dug up by animals? Welcome to Granville.
Only 8.7% of the students who took the Advanced Placement (AP) Physics 1 test earlier this school year scored a perfect 5, and Derry Area High School senior David McElfresh was one of them. He also finished in the 19% of the students who scored a perfect 5 in the Calculus AB test.
âWe are very proud of him,â said Jennifer Welty, a teacher in the Derry Area School Districtâs gifted supports program.
McElfresh, 17, the son of Michael and Kim McElfresh of Derry Borough, has been an honor student all through school.
He took five AP classes last year, and he is currently taking four.
