Regular readers of "The Sportsman's Corner" know that I have great respect for outdoor conservation officers. These readers also know I believe sportsmen should adhere to the rules promoting good sportsmanship. They also know I believe some rules need to be enforced with discretion. Sometimes an officer is overly zealous while enforcing the letter of the law and actually could gain more respect for his agency by using some common sense. I once included in this column an incident involving two...

I am once again amazed at the volume of text that flows through online social media sites about issues in the Cove, yet so little of it ends up in the pages of the Herald. With a community so interested in writing and expressing opinions, you’d think there would be more submitted to the local newspaper. After all, part of the local paper’s job is to present the opinions of its readers. The Herald does so. And any accusations that we will reject submissions we disagree with or edit them into meaninglessness is just not true. Also not true is...

The Greenfield Township Board of Supervisors voted to furlough a township police officer at their Dec. 7 meeting. The move was made in response to budget constraints and a new collective bargaining agreement that is set to take effect between the township and police department in 2022. The new agreement, which was approved in November, would have added approximately $20,000 in police expenses, supervisor Jordan Oldham stated, something that the township “can’t afford.” Initially, Joseph Claar, vice-chair, asked the other board members if they w...

All counties went to backup procedures and emergency service agencies were notified until technicians could get on site and reset the failed piece of hardware. To our knowledge all calls for service during this time have been followed up on and...
