The Morrisons Cove Herald’s annual Spring Sports Preview section appears in today’s edition. The special section features previews, photos and schedules for the four Cove-area high schools: Central, Claysburg-Kimmel, Northern Bedford and Williamsburg. The Herald printed the special section just prior to Gov. Tom Wolf’s announcement on Friday, March 13, that K-12 schools in Pennsylvania would be closed for 10 business days. The Herald will provide updates regarding the uncertainty of the scholastic spring sports season....
With heavy eyelids and burning eyes brought on by daylight saving time, we also bounced back and forth like a ball. March, with unpredictable moods, bounced us between winter and summer. But we're adapting. I'm always amazed at the resiliency of the human body and how it recovers and adjusts to changes. Sunshine, with powerful heat, beamed on our Monday, March 9. The garden soil begged for seeds so I obliged. I dropped the little, shriveled bits into my scratched rows where they wait for a...
Publisher Allan J. Bassler has announced changes to the Cove Calendar, Williamsburg Calendar and the creation of a Faith Calendar. “These changes are intended to provide the community with more accurate information about Cove events,” Bassler said. “We understand that there might be some concern about these changes in the community, but these are intended to make things better.” The changes will go into effect with the April 2, 2020, edition of the Herald. These changes apply to the Cove Calendar, which usually appears on Page B-1 of the pri... Full story
Read Across America Week was recently held at Martinsburg Elementary School. One day during the week each homeroom had a guest reader. Third grader Holly Myers is reading to Jann Dalansky’s fourth-grade class....
One thing I find difficult every other week is nailing down a specific topic to write about. It's not because there is a shortage of things to discuss, its because there are so many! The Bible is full of great things and its difficult to decide. I'm a Bible nerd and I don't care who knows it. There's always something new to learn, or a tidbit that hadn't popped out before. Then there's God himself and the different ways he's moved and worked in my life. He's done so many things, big and small,...
Scriptures to Read: Acts 9:1-9 Acts 9:10-19 Acts 9:20-30 Acts 22:1-11 Acts 22:12-21 Acts 23:6-11 St. Matthew 9:35-38 & St. John 4:32-38 We closed last week thinking about Paul's hearing the voice of authority. He says he was not disobedient to that voice. Much of Paul's Damascus Road experience is skipped here. We can check it out on our own. It could well be that Paul told more things to Herod and Festus but they are not recorded here. What Paul does emphasize is that he heard the voice of the...
The Christian season of Lent and the Easter holiday are laden with time-honored traditions that are both secular and religious. Many such traditions are universal, but people still find ways to celebrate their Christian faith in their own unique ways. Each Good Friday, residents of Bermuda take to the beach to fly kites. The tradition began from a legend that says a local teacher was attempting to explain to Sunday school students about Jesus' ascension to heaven. The students were not grasping...
Easter is the most important day of the year on the Christian calendar. A celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, Easter commemorates the very core of the Christian faith. So it comes as no surprise that such an important day is steeped in tradition. Easter traditions such as Easter Sunday Mass are widely known. But there are many unique Easter traditions across the globe that, while they may not be as widely known, illustrate the power of this very special day in the Christian community. • India: India may not be the first nation to...
On rainy days, it can be tempting to hand children devices and let them fall down a YouTube rabbit hole. After all, there can be a lot of hours to fill when the weather isn't cooperating with your weekend plans. There are better ways to spend those rainy days. With a little creativity, rainy days can be opportunities for fun and educational play. Consider these great ideas from The Genius of Play, an initiative with a mission of raising awareness about the importance of play in order to help...
If you are like many people, your winter wardrobe requires a bit of extra care. Between fine cashmere sweaters, favorite woolen outerwear and your snazziest cocktail attire, your special care garments should look as crisp at the end of the season as they do today. Unfortunately, winter often brings with it slush, mud, salt and other threats to fabrics. To protect your winter wear affordably, consider the following tips: • Be smart about footwear: On wet or slushy days, tuck pants into dur...
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) today announced March 4 that enforcement of the statewide Automated Work Zone Speed Enforcement (AWZSE) program begins March 9. Today marks the end of a 60-day pre-enforcement period that was required by Act 86 of 2018, which established the AWZSE program. “Through the Automated Work Zone Speed Enforcement program, we are urging motorists to slow down and pay attention while driving, especially through work zones where roadway conditions c...
Land is an asset that generally holds value and appreciates over time. While your land investment grows, you can enjoy its many unique benefits. In Pennsylvania, land provides investment opportunities, hunting, recreation, farming or perhaps acreage for building a home with a big backyard. If you're ready to invest in land, do you know how to take the next step? Should you pay cash or finance? Paying cash for raw land is a great way to be competitive with your offer and save money in the...

The Herald is publishing as much local information as it can about the reaction to the coronavirus and COVID-19. The Herald’s niche is providing news about Morrisons Cove, so that’s what we are doing. However, we cannot squeeze everything into these pages, nor can we capture all the news about this event on our website. And, of course, none of us are experts on public health or diseases. So in the interest of providing as much information as we can, the Herald has gathered several resources which are presenting reliable, responsible inf... Full story

The Northern Bedford County School Board met Tuesday, March 10, to discuss and decide several agenda items. As part of the meeting, the board presented a plaque of recognition to Starla Snyder, the school nurse. Snyder is to receive the South-Central School Nurse Excellence Award March 28 in State College. Nominees for this award were acknowledged by their peers and one apparent reason for Snyder’s receiving this award is due to her ability to remain calm under stressful situations. The school board presented Snyder with a framed plaque and a t...

During the March 3 meeting of the Williamsburg Municipal Authority, discussions about Cove Forge property dominated the conversation. Cove Forge Behavioral Health had made it known that there would be a 19-bed addition to its Williamsburg facility and that the facility was planning to submit a waterline tap request to the authority. Cove Forge needs the authority to approve the water service to serve the new addition to the facility. Authority members brought up at the meeting that there were many instances of noncompliance with authority...
The American Red Cross now faces a severe blood shortage due to an unprecedented number of blood drive cancellations in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

Fourteen days! Can you believe it? If you’re like me, you are thinking, “Great. Fourteen days off of work! This is like a mini-vacation!” But for readers with children, it’s often frantic and crazy trying to find a babysitter on such short notice, or finding the time to entertain the kids. I had the pleasure of watching one of my “children” (one of my preschoolers) while our daycare had shut down due to regulations. What better way to spend time with kids than making lunch in the kitchen? It has the added advantage of taking their eyes off th...
In light of concerns about COVID-19, various health organizations have issued specific instructions on how to maintain personal safety and cleanliness. These recommendations involve using common household products to sanitize homes, offices and public spaces. As people take such precautions, many are stocking up on extra essentials – resulting in shortages. Everything from hand sanitizers to paper towels may be hard to find on grocery store shelves, leaving some to wonder what they can do to remain safe without sanitizers? The Environmental P...

As an organization in which 85 percent of its more than 1,000 members fall into the category of small business, the Blair County Chamber of Commerce is extremely aware of the gravity of the situation in which our businesses currently find themselves. I would encourage Governor Wolf to perhaps choose a different term in describing a certain segment of the business community. There truly are no “non-essential” businesses. While the health of our people is paramount, the health of our community and its economy ranks a very close second. The cha... Full story
Blair County Emergency Management is urging individuals not to call 911 to report businesses not complying with Gov. Tom Wolf’s order. The closure of non-life sustaining businesses is a measure that has been taken to control the spread of a communicable disease, COVID-1, and has been ordered by the Governor and the Secretary of Health. The closures are enforceable through criminal penalties, under the Disease Control and Prevention Law of 1955 and the Administrative Code of 1929. Concerned citizens, wishing to report non-compliant b... Full story
The U.S. Small Business Administration is offering low-interest federal disaster loans for working capital to Pennsylvania small businesses suffering substantial economic injury as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza announced on March 20.
