  • This Committee Got it Right0

    Scott Lowery

    No doubt many of you have served on some sort of committee over the years.

  • Flintlock Season is Well Underway0

    Ken Hunter

    I’ll be honest, like a lot of other hunters, after using high-powered rifles with powerful telescopic sights to take a deer, switching to a black-powder flintlock didn’t fill me with a lot of confidence. Over the years, more and more hunters began to pursue deer in the late flintlock season, and I, too, eventually added

  • County Hall Corner: Count Your Blessings0

    Larry Stout

    The one comment I receive more often than any other from this column is the discovery of the role of county government. Most citizens focus their attention to local government and those who are directing it: city or borough council members or township supervisors.

    Living in this part of Pennsylvania, it’s certainly not unusual for the topic of black bears to come up in a conversation, and that’s especially true during the bear hunting seasons.

    Pennsylvania Elk-Tourist Attraction and Hunting Ambition0

    Ken Hunter

    Elk were native to Pennsylvania when the first European settlers arrived in our area, but the elk were no doubt a major and much-needed food source at that time.
