    RICHARD TATE, Herald Sports Columnist|Oct 8, 2020

    When I got home from a successful fishing adventure this morning, I decided that I still had enough energy left to wash and wax my 10-year-old Ford Ranger. The Ranger is my most recent fishing (and hunting) truck; and during the 10 years I have used it, it has performed well. My mechanic tells me it should keep going for a while longer.

I probably wasn't the best teacher, but I encouraged these interests from the time he was in early elementary school.

  • Hunters Reminded of CWD Rules

    Sep 10, 2020

    Pennsylvanians who harvest deer, elk, mule deer or moose out-of-state likely can’t bring them home without first removing the carcass parts with the highest risk of transmitting Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). Pennsylvania long has prohibited the importation of high-risk cervid parts from areas where CWD has been detected. This prohibition reduces the possibility of CWD, which always is fatal to the cervids it infects, spreading to new areas within Pennsylvania. There now are 25 states and four Canadian provinces from which high-risk cervid p...

Oedipus's answer, of course, was "man," who crawls as a baby, walks upon two legs as an adult, then needs a cane to help support him in old age.
