Tuesday’s general election was historic in Blair County as well as the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Judith F. Ward’s victory over Jason D. Lynn for the seat in 80th District of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives makes her the first female representative in the history of Blair County. Ward, a Republican, received 10,664 votes to Lynn’s 5,146. Lynn ran as an Independent.

Trick-or-Treat was held Thursday, Oct. 30, in most of Blair County.

Love of home, history and honor has come together in a “living project” aimed to preserve the importance that Morrisons Cove had in the Civil War.

The “Cove Christmas Love” program, sponsored by the Martinsburg Area Association of Churches, is accepting donations of unwrapped new toys, books and new blankets to be distributed to children ages 12 and under in the Spring Cove School District who would otherwise not receive much, if anything, for Christmas.
