  • RS Eases Hunting Restriction on Plum Creek Mt.; Enters Land Option Agreement

    RICK BOSTON, Staff Writer|Jun 23, 2022

    Last year, in a move that caused protests from some long-time users, Roaring Spring Borough Council voted to restrict access to Plum Creek Mountain to borough residents only while prohibiting all activities other than hunting. Council cited the growing use of all-terrain vehicles and the land damage and liability that goes along with it as one of the reasons for enforcing the mountain use policy. A group of area residents, many of whom live outside the borough, protested council’s decision to close the mountain, and have repeatedly asked the b...

  • Newcomers to the Cove: The Pledge

    JOSEPH WALK, For the Herald|Jun 23, 2022

    Mark Twain is credited with writing, “Patriotism is supporting your country all of the time and your government when it deserves it.” There is some logic in that statement. Mark Twain knew the foibles of government, but he was also a patriotic soul. As newcomers to Morrisons Cove, we see an obvious sign of a patriotic population: Old Glory flies proudly over businesses and individual homes. With July 4 celebrations coming, perhaps a review of our Pledge of Alliance to that grand old flag would be worthwhile. It’s been a while since we’ve...

  • Letter to the Editor

    Jun 23, 2022

    To the Editor: The Roaring Spring Borough Council recently let me down, along with many friends and neighbors and people that I know. The mountain ground, that was practically given to the borough in the 1800s, was sold under the radar of many people. The ground also was sold for the lowest offer the borough received. Instead of the borough getting $2 million, council took an offer from the Pa. Game Commission, receiving $1.2 million. To put this into perspective, the borough recently clear-cut 200 out of its 1,400-plus-acre plot, and received...

  • Growth

    Linda Weko|Jun 23, 2022

    Biblical text: Mark 4:26-32 I am sure that many of you can relate to the image of a special door frame in your house where your parents or grandparents would periodically stand you very carefully, heels pressed tightly against the wall so they could record your height. I can remember the notches in the wood marking off a little more stature gained. But what about our growth now that we seem all grown up in a physical sense? Nobody is keeping track anymore on those door frames, but hopefully we have not stopped growing. Jesus is talking about...

  • Thought for the Week

    Paster Earl Herr|Jun 23, 2022

    You have heard it. A blaring sound comes across your media. The words are: “This is a test. This is only a test…” Then you will be told it is not an emergency but if it had been an actual emergency, you would be told what to do. This test is given to prepare us. God also gave a test. You will find out all about it by reading Deuteronomy chapter 8. It is a two-part test and it is administered over many years. Moses is addressing the people of Israel. He is nearing the end of his life. He has led Israel for forty years. Because of his sin, he is...
