According to the Roaring Spring Centennial History Book, the Roaring Spring Community Library is one of the prime assets of the community. It all started when Mr. and Mrs. George Kensinger called a meeting in 1958. They were looking for interested people for the purpose of formulating plans for a free public library in Roaring Spring. Organizations were contacted for donations and a shelter was sought to house a library. WVAM offered two rooms in its Cove studio at 507 E. Main St. On Jan. 3, 1959, the library began operation at this location....
OPINION As we stood at the altar waiting for pictures some 60 years ago, my thoughts flashed forward. How old would I be if we were still married after 50 years? The possibility of 60 years never entered my mind. And yet, here we are. On Aug. 30, we will celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary. On that warm August day, so long ago, the fact that we would have two healthy children, a girl and a boy; that we would build a home on the lot my husband owned; that we would enjoy so many great experiences and sometimes endure some painful events were...
OPINION Since the Herald launched its website, I’ve had a few calls from people asking why the online version of the Herald does not cost less than the print edition of the Herald. I thought I’d address this, since it is on the minds of some people. First, I’d like to remind all of those in the Cove community that if you like having a reliable news source, you do indeed have to pay for it. Somehow, over the last decade or so, it has gotten into the heads of some people that news should be free. Well, it’s not. And it can’t be. News is like a...
Herald of Aug. 16, 1894 Two tramps camping in the cornfields of Isaac Diehl near Henrietta went to the Diehl home during the day while the men were all at work in the fields. The men, intent upon burglary, were met at the door by Mrs. Levi Diehl, who ordered them to leave. When the tramps refused, she got a revolver and threatened to shoot them. When the tramps laughed at her threats, Mrs. Diehl pulled the hammer on the pistol, which misfired. Her action, however, was enough to frighten the would-be thieves, who fled the area, leaving their...

Herald of Aug. 20, 2009 The Blair County Junior Livestock Sale went well Tuesday evening at Morrisons Cove Memorial Park, according to Brian Glick, auctioneer, despite a bad national economy.

Glick has been calling the sale for about six years, and assisted his uncle at the sale for about five years before that. In comparing Tuesday’s sale of market animals to recent sales at the Huntingdon a...

OPINION To the Editor: As always, I appreciate the tone of your thoughtful editorials, Mr. Bassler, and this one (Herald of Aug. 1, 2019, Page A-4, “My Main Concern”), on the dangers of executive power was most effective. I don't necessarily agree that having a Democrat in the White House is dangerous – in fact, I anticipate it's being a very refreshing return to sanity – but your point of the Supreme Court’s permission for the U.S. president to usurp the authority of congress is well taken. I have long believed that, as long as congress...
OPINION To the Editor: For almost 371 years, The Religious Society of Friends, commonly known as Quakers, has held the belief that “There is that of God in everyone.” No exceptions. Friends have worked to abolish slavery, worked to help refugees around the world during and after World Wars I and II, worked to help with the Suffragette Movement, and civil rights. We as Quakers now share a deep concern for our immigrant sisters and brothers from around the world who have come to this country seeking refuge from poverty-stricken and often ver...
