He said that the fire company recently received a $1.3 million bid for the rescue pumper. "The negative on it is it will take four years from the point that we...

Borrowing a musical passage from John Lennon: "Imagine...it's easy if you try." I will attempt to set the theme for a Christmas Season that you may not have thought about since you were a young child. Imagine a world with no war or the possibility of such, as exemplified by the current conflict in Ukraine. Imagine a planet where all religions manage to set their differences aside and live together in harmony. Try to visualize an America where the citizens are not so divided in ideology, and...
It is 1902, and Daisy Harriman, socialite wife of a successful New York City banker, is planning to travel from her summer home in Newport, Rhode Island, to Manhattan to run a few errands. She is incensed when she finds out that she cannot stay in any of the luxury hotels because she will be an unaccompanied lady. As she opines to her husband about the unfairness of it all, she has an idea. If men can have their own clubs, such as the Princeton Club and the Union Club, why can't ladies have a cl...
On Monday morning, Luigi Nicholas Mangione, a 26-year-old who is a suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO was arrested and charged with murder after a McDonald employee at the Plank Road located in Altoona recognized him from a surveillance photo and police officers found a gun, mask and writings linking him to the ambush, according to the Associated Press. While this news happened outside of the Cove, this occurred right in my neighborhood, which is Garden Heights in Altoona. I’ve spent almost my whole life living in that quiet are...
In the Nov. 27, 2024 edition of the Herald, in the 100 years ago it should read that the agriculture class of Cove High visited the Harry Metzger farm on Piney Creek Road. The Metzger farm, still functioning, is immediately north of the Stoner homestead and just south of what is now the award winning Smith family’s Dry Creek Farm....
Herald of Dec. 15, 1899 From Dec. 15, 1949 William Foor, aged 35 years, a son of David Foor, residing about one mile east of Everett, was instantly killed Saturday. On returning from a hunting trip he used the butt of his gun to push open the gate when the weapon was discharged, the entire load striking him in the neck. He was survived by his wife and one child. The Blair County commissioners have awarded the contract for the stone work for the bridge over the big spring at Williamsburg to John A. Dunkle of Tyrone, at $4 per perch. The wife of...
Herald of Dec. 12, 1924 From Dec. 16, 1999 Proprietor C.W. D’Ford erected a row of U.S. Flags on the side-walk in front of his theater and installed electric lights on the building front. One large light atop the flag pole gave brilliance to N. Market Street, adding to the much-to-be-desired street lighting. On account of the sale of the Cove Cooperative Company not materializing, the company was still doing business with dairy feed, grain and coal sales at Curryville. The postal department urged car owners to order their 1925 license tags e...
Herald of Dec. 15, 1949 Martinsburg’s public display of colored lights, as the “Square” and on the large evergreen in the “Triangle,” gave the town a bright, holiday atmosphere this week. Outdoor displays are expected to appear in front of many homes before Christmas. W.U. Skyles, cashier of the Morrisons Cove Bank, today completes a period of 50 years service in that position. The annual Children’s Christmas Party at the Martinsburg Community Library this year will feature a play under the direction of Library Story Teller Mrs. Ralph Dough...
Herald of Dec. 12, 1974 The Herald is sponsoring its annual Christmas Morning Photo Contest once again – so prepare the amateur shuttering in your family. Get your camera ready to snap pictures of the youngsters in your family as they open their gifts around the tree. Take as many pictures of the Christmas morning bustle as you like, then pick out the best one and send it to the Herald. The top three pictures will be printed in the Herald’s 1975 Christmas edition. A proposal to build a new self-service gasoline outlet and convenience store in...
Herald of Dec. 16, 1999 The contractors that are working with the Blair County Airport Authority on a project to trim trees at a number of Martinsburg residences drew criticism from two authority members at a meeting Monday night. The trees are being trimmed because they are considered to be obstructions to airplane take-offs and landings on the airport’s north-south runway. Several authority members complained that the contractors are not only conducting outside appraisals of the property, but also are asking to be allowed inside the homes a...
Herald of Dec. 11, 2014 Local police agencies are making progress in their investigations of multiple credit card frauds that struck the Cove around Black Friday, but are asking victims for patience. Martinsburg Borough Police Chief Kerry Hoover said that his department “has narrowed it down to where it likely happened but not exactly how.” Michelle Smithmyer, Claysburg-Kimmel’s business manager, was recognized by the C-K School Board on Dec. 3 for her 15 years as a member of the Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials. Nason...
A chance to sign up in sixth grade led to a Williamsburg freshman placing 20 out of 247 runners for states for cross country, one of the first in a couple of years. That girl is Ava Dixon. "At the end of sixth grade, my math teacher (who is the head cross country coach) asked if anybody wanted to sign up to run," she said. "I had never heard of cross country before, but a couple of friends and I decided to sign up and try it out." Dixon is the daughter of John and Shakirah Dixon of...

It was a rough autumn for deer. While fly-fishing and while scouting for wild turkeys, I found a number of deer lying dead for no apparent reasons. Though I discovered these deer after the onset of the autumn archery season, none of the deer that I found appeared to have been shot by archers who then failed to recover them. The first of these deer was just the skeleton of a dead doe (female deer). I had been fishing along a favorite section of a local creek and had crossed the creek to approach the next fishable pocket of water. There she was....
Each December, pastors, writers, and pastors who are writers look for a fresh angle on the Christmas story. It is especially a challenge for those like me who have been around for more than a few decades. The incredibly powerful story of the incarnation is so familiar that it is difficult to come up with something that seems to be new. Maybe we shouldn’t worry about it because the story doesn’t need help from mere humans. It is indeed the greatest story ever told. While there is nothing new under the sun, we can still look for fresh ideas. Rece...
Gene editing is showing promise for ending diseases previously regarded as incurable. But there is a difference between exploring gene editing for the purpose of making people well and as a means to make people into whatever they imagine they would like to become in an effort to create utopia. For instance, some have expressed a desire to improve humanity by creating human/animal hybrid creatures. Others wish for gene editing to be used to make humans more fit for space travel (probably with the goal of settling other planets in order to save...

Isaiah’s prophecy continues having called the future Messiah ‘Wonderful’ he goes on to call Him ‘Counselor’. It is a term we hear used for lawyers, judges, and experts in the Law in courtrooms. Most certainly we will see Jesus, The Christ, fulfilling that role. He was accused of destroying the Law and the Prophets, but responded by saying He did not come to destroy the Law or Prophets but to fulfill them. (See St. Mathew 5:17-20) This He certainly did helping people see and understand the depth of meaning, the spirit, not simply the Letter of T...
The start of the Christmas season kicked off Saturday afternoon with the annual Christmas parade - filled with sightings of the Dairy Princess, lots of candy, and a special visit from the Grinch. Following the parade, a large crowd watched Santa Claus light up the tree followed by a meet-and-greet with the big man himself, with plenty of festive music. The fourth annual Shop Local vendor show will shut down West Second Street where it will be filled with local vendors and food trucks on...
“We knew it was going to be an expensive project,” Superintendent Lisa Murgas said, displaying the updates and projects to fix the roofing problems at the Williamsburg Elementary School and High School during last Tuesday evening’s board meeting. “This is a project that needed to be done,” Board Member Jimmy Grager said, noting the leaking problems, especially in areas such as the elementary school and boys’ locker rooms. The elementary school was looking at mostly lower-level updates and the high school was looking at replacing a majority of...
The Williamsburg Borough will once again be looking for a new Council member following the resignation of Mike Biddle during last Monday evening’s meeting, December 2. Biddle and his wife moved out of the borough, and therefore, can no longer serve as a council member. Dakota Biddle made a motion to accept a letter of resignation with Matthew Webb seconding, motion passed. “Mike did a lot for us here as a member of the borough council. In his short time, he brought his wealth of business perspective and his background in grant funding to ben...
"What a wonderful day it is to be spent with all of you," Williamsburg Women's Civic Club second Vice President Robin Brantner said welcoming the large group of ladies to the club's annual event, the Christmas Tea. The theme for this year was "Gnome for the Holidays," and gnomes were all over the First Methodist Church for the event. Susan Houck, one of the chairwomen this year for the event, said that she picked this theme because she found a love of Christmas gnomes during a trip to Germany...
"It is never too late to go back to school, never too late to follow your dreams no matter how old you are," Lesly Miller-Jacobs, Patient Advocate and Community Liaison at Conemaugh Nason Medical Center said. At 57, Miller-Jacobs is about to complete a nearly four-decade-long journey to earn her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Her classes officially end on December 13, and she will graduate on December 21. "I didn't think going back to school would make me a better nurse knowledge-wise," she...
