Miller Harold S

West Lawn counselor has published children's book

While Kaskie wanted to write an interesting book, teaching about Internet safety was her ultimate goal. As a counselor and a former teacher in the Grand Island school system, Kaskie said she also tried to use words in her story that K-5 or K-6 students are expected to have as part of their regular vocabulary and she used the six-trait writing model. Kaskie said she has wanted to write a book for 25 years, but only started writing her book in the past three years. During that time, she said, she asked colleagues in the Grand Island Public Schools to look over her book and offer suggestions. She said she also asked Independent columnist George Ayoub, who is a published book author, to look over her book as well. Use your real name. If you aren't willing to post your name, don't post your opinion. If it's not good enough to have your name by it, it's not good enough for anyone else to read. We read EVERY comment before it is posted. This may take a while. Relax. If you don't see your comment right away, don't worry. We'll read it, make sure it doesn't break the rest of these rules, and then post it. It won't happen right away. Be nice. This is a civil conversation. You don't have to agree, but don't be mean. No name calling, profanity, hate speech, personal attacks, threatening or violent comments, sexually explicit or crude comments, or anything just plain rude. A good point doesn't need to include calling someone a "moron" or "white trash". Be factual, as much as you can. Don't throw out comments you can't verify. Don't spread rumors or lies. That doesn't help anyone. And don't throw any libel out, either.

This is a community conversation, but The Independent is controlling it on our site. Therefore, we set the rules. If you don't like them, we're sorry, but they are the rules. Although the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution allows for freedom of speech, Congress is not in charge of this site. This is a privately owned Web site.

The opinions are those of the author and not the administrators, moderators or the paper, and therefore the Grand Island Independent will not be held liable.

If your comments don't follow all guidelines above, it will not be posted.

We will allow opinions some might find offensive. We will allow conversation that is strident in tone. We will allow criticism of public officials. And we will allow opinions some may find offensive about tough social issues around race and sexual orientation, as long as they don't break the rules above.

Beating Father Time: For Harold Miller, 67, running is a life-long ...

There is running and there is competitive running.

There is competitive masters running in the midstate area, and there is Carlisle’s Harold ‘Hap’ Miller.

Miller, 67, has run in every Harrisburg Marathon since 1975. He is actually the caretaker for the event, having put together a 213-page book on it, chock full of numbers and statistics, two of the former computer programmer’s favorite things.

In Miller’s age range, you won’t find many better runners in the country. He ran last year’s Harrisburg Marathon, held every November, in 3 hours and 47 minutes and back in the day, once ran the Boston Marathon in 2:43.

“I think if you run in the area, you know Hap,” said 51-year-old Cindy Blood, a Summerdale resident who is one of the top women’s masters (over age 40) runners in the area.

“He’s just got a really amazing energy and spirit and he doesn’t look anywhere near this age. It’s very clear that Hap loves the sport. He loves the competition and I really think he enjoys the camaraderie that goes with making friends in the sport.”

Not bad for the former fatty who, with his waistline changing monthly back in his late 20s, turned to running to change his life.

“When people as me about running, I tell them it’s an addiction. A very good addiction,” said Miller, who was raised in the Johnstown, Pa. area before moving to Carlisle in the late 1960s when he took at job at the Naval Supply Depot in Mechanicsburg.

Today, Miller, who could pass for his mid-50s, carries just under 150 pounds on his wiry 5-9 frame.

That was not always the case.

Following a hitch in the Air Force in his early 20s, Miller, who ran in high school, watched his weight balloon into the 180-pound range.

Miller, stationed in Germany, developed a fondness for German beer (“My friends in the Air Force started calling me ‘Hap’ because of the happy mood I was in when I drank”, Miller said) and began to bulk up. He also developed chest pains and shortness of breath. Miller, who has a history of heart trouble in his family, knew something had to change.

“Actually, I quit smoking as a approached 30,” Miller said. “You know what they say about your 20s — wine, women and song.
