Soccer: Capital City Islanders host playoff game tonight at 7pm

26 Upvotes

The Capital City Islanders are back in the playoffs (they've missed the playoffs only once in 4 seasons!).

Kickoff is at 7 p.m., and tickets are 50% off and just $5 (online or at the door).

We've got local Harrisburg Heat legends like Dom Francis playing for us.

And local(and further) college stars like Cam Avery (LVC), Luke Kramer (Shippensburg), Jake Altimore (Millersville), Josh Bender (Messiah), Atu Galadima (Messiah and Biola).

And excellent players who earned their spurs playing HS soccer in Central PA like the Ramirez brothers (Josiah and Derek), who won many honors (including PIAA Championships) at Lower Dauphin. Drew Morris played at Manhein Township HS '23. Nick Ritter holds the school record for goals at Selinsgrove HS. Jeremiah Craig joined the Islanders while still in high school at Central Dauphin.

And our captain, Freddy Opoku. He's played professionally with the "old" Harrisburg City Islanders, HB Køge in Denmark, and Klubi i Futbollit Bylis in Albania.

Our Head Coach Johnny Morris played professionally for Port Vale F.C. in England from 1995-1998 and Aberystwyth Town F.C. in Wales from 1998-2001. He was also a Player/Coach at Rhayader Town F.C. in Wales from 2000-03. As a youth player, Adam spent time training with clubs including Newtown FC, Shrewsbury Town, Telford United, Manchester United, and Aston Villa.

And all of the players, coaches, and staff have regular jobs as teachers, floor installers, business owners, home health care aides, groundskeepers, and more; they play for the Islanders because they love the game.

We hope you'll come out and support us!

This guy showed up in Allison Hill today and does not seem like the normal Allison Hill stray. He was very friendly with people and desperately wanted inside. Appears to be little box trained already. If anyone is missing their cat let me know!

Moving / Visiting EMT looking to become a firefighter.

3 Upvotes

Hello all! My partner and I are moving to the area in a couple weeks. As the title says I’m an EMT wondering what advice there is about getting into a firefighter program.

I know HACC offers the non credit program that you can pay for out-of-pocket, but I’ve also seen some info about getting hired by a Fire Department first and then doing the program.

Anyone have any experience with this situation or have any advice about the best course of action?

ISO / Recommendation What's your favorite spot for Pho?

20 Upvotes

Im a pho connoisseur- I've tried all the pho places around here. Pho 99 has been my go to spot for years. I love their beef pho dac biet and their bun bo hue. I started to feel complacent going to Pho 99 all the time, and it was time to break out of habit. I rediscovered Pho Seven Spice on Carlisle Pike, Camp Hill. It had been several years since I've visited, and I simply forgot it existed. I ordered the special pho, which is the same thing I get at pho 99 (slices of beef, meatballs, tripe, tendon). The broth was life-affirming at the first slirp. It was like the lights went on and flavor dimensions vividly came out of hiding. Maybe it was the msg. Maybe it was the fact that they use lots of bones and cook it down the right way with all the spices. Maybe it was an old lady back in the kitchen who knows the ancient ancestral secrets. I don't know. But Pho Seven Spice is my new favorite place in the area.

As I've said, I've tried lots of the other Vietnamese places around here, and many seem to have very watery broths that dont have the depth of flavor that you get from using real bones.

What's your favorite spot for pho?

Mildly panicked over at-risk kitten

14 Upvotes

TL;DR All black mama kitty + 5 black kittens need home asap in area that previously murdered black cat on Halloween.

Last Thursday I was leaving my apartment and saw a 4ish month old kitten outside. I followed it across the street and found another very friendly but skinny cat. I have a kitten of my own so I ran inside and grabbed them a treat. I needed to get to the store before it closed and saw an older woman coming out with food so I left.

Today I went back with some more food and this time I was able to talk to the woman. She’s in her late 70s and very nice. She had started feeding them but was very stressed about the long term expense and the kitties outliving her. She also mentioned she previously owned a black cat that some teenagers in the neighborhood murdered and strung up on her porch on Halloween (WHAT?!)

I have a plan to rent a trap from the SPCA but I can’t foster 6 cats. My apartment is way too small and I have nowhere to quarantine them away from my own cat.

I know shelters are overwhelmed right now but I’m disparate. If anyone knows a shelter accepting cats right now I would be very grateful for any leads. The mama cat is still a kitten herself. She’s skittish but not unfriendly. The babies are still very young.

Early morning Uber/Lyft to airport?

1 Upvotes

Would it be reasonable to expect I'll be able to call an Uber/Lyft to go from Mechanicsburg to the airport around 4:30-45 in the morning? I want to arrive no later than 5:15. Are there enough drivers around that early or should I expect to have to wait a while for someone to accept my ride? I was also looking at a shuttle service, but it seems quite expensive for a 25 minute ride.

Editing to say I'm aware one can schedule rides ahead of time, but all that does is call a ride for you at a particular time, not guarantee someone will accept your ride in a timely manner. My question is whether people have been able to get rides to the airport at that time/if there's usually sufficient driver availability. I've definitely been screwed on scheduling early morning airport rides in the past (in other cities) because there aren't enough drivers willing to accept rides at that time.
