FROM THE PUBLISHER CEO & PUBLISHER Wayne Dollard Welcome to the April/May issue of IN Peters Township. On March 22, Peters Township Library held a celebration to welcome home Peters Township native John-Henry Krueger, winner of a silver medal in the 1,000-meter short track speedskating competition at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. We’re proud to call John-Henry one of our own! Regular contributor Jennifer Brozak caught up with John-Henry to talk about his journey to becoming a speedskater. Be sure to read “Silver Lining” on page 44. Finally, we’ve got all the dirt on spring in this issue!
