By MARK O’KEEFE Pa. Gov. Tom Wolf needs to take off his rose-colored glasses and face reality. In a recent interview with KYW Newsradio, Gov. Wolf said Pennsylvanians would “like to see some movement’’ on legalizing marijuana. While it’s true that a recent Franklin & Marshall poll showed 59 percent of Pennsylvanians support legalizing recreational marijuana, up from 22 percent a decade ago, Republican leaders in the Pennsylvania Legislature remain overwhelmingly opposed to the change, thus guaranteeing there will be no “movement’’ on the issue...
You may not be ready for next year’s elections, but in political time, they’re coming up fast. Even politicians who aren’t running for president are crafting their stump speeches. Which means that at some point you’re almost certain to hear someone announce, sternly, “I. Will. Not. Compromise.” And if you’re there in the crowd and agree with his or her position, you may even join the applause. Which is understandable, but let me tell you why, far from applauding that line, I shy from politicians who use it. In a democracy, being able to comprom...
"The sky is falling; the sky is falling!" ~Chicken Little Have you ever paid attention to the scripted hyperbole spewed by the democrats and their sycophants in the media? There are video montages that show these Trump haters all using the exact same phrases. Try searching "beginning of the end Trump" and "walls are closing in Trump." It would be amusing if it weren't so scary. The latest directive from the Politburo must have encouraged party members to wring their hands and tell the masses tha...

Herald of June 14, 1894 A “hog law” was enacted in Martinsburg after several years of complaints by borough citizens. Residents were no longer allowed to let their swine run free in the streets and alleys of the town. Those not confining their pigs would be fined. A petition was circulated in Roaring Spring opposing a planned camp meeting of “colored people” that was to be held near the town. Residents said they were concerned about the “demoralizing effects” of such a meeting. Following the strong public outcry, the leader of the meeting, an...

Herald of June 22, 1944 That snakes are plentiful this summer is well known to Borough Officer Ralph S. Bowers, who visited the Herald office on Thursday afternoon and displayed a rattlesnake that he had shot at the town’s reservoir. It measured over 36 inches and had six rattles and a button.

So far this season he has shot several but this was the first rattler, and he wishes to warn the people hiking in the woods this year to be on the l...

The pastor went to his room on the second floor to obtain a flashlight when he heard a crackling noise, and, opening a door to the attic, discovered it filled w...

Herald of June 18, 2009 A number of Ore Hill residents were recently surprised to find pink ribbons tied to trees on their property. The ribbons are a notification from Penelec that the “tagged” trees will be cut down in October. Penelec said it is removing the trees because of the potential threat they pose to the high-voltage transmission lines that run through Ore Hill. The ultimatum has left several tree owners frustrated. Roy and Christine Miller have been told that at least eight of their trees will become firewood if not moved. The AYS...
On June 5, members of the Pa. Governor’s Census 2020 Complete Count Commission held the “Census 2020 PA Counts Rally” to advocate for an accurate census count in the commonwealth.

Cases of strangulation could be considered in sentencing for subsequent crimes and in child custody proceedings under a bill approved by the Senate June 3, according to the bill’s sponsor, state Sen. Judy Ward (R-30). The General Assembly approved a law in 2016 that created the criminal offense of strangulation. Senate Bill 275 would fully integrate that offense in Pennsylvania’s laws to ensure strangulation is classified in the same way as other similar violent crimes. Sen. Ward said the bill was especially important to protect victims of dom...
