I don't know whether this is any consolation or not....but forget about the coyotes getting her. I've seen JRs in action out west rooting out coyotes, and can tell you any coyote that tangles with a JR is in a whole of trouble.
I hope you find your dog. Good luck.
Wonderful news!! Someone DID have her - gave her a bath and fed her and then dropped her off without stopping in to say anything to us. She just walked in like nothing special!! We are so grateful! Thank you for helping us!
What is in the water our real estate agents are drinking?
They consistently drop the ball for opportunities to promote and help the County.
No return phone call, how do they stay in business?
Are they all doing so well they don't need the business?
You would think the new owner of the big company would be all over this.
Dito on the realtors! Makes you wonder what in the world they are thinking. Maybe they could try for some of the Adelphia properties - several that are available for rent - they could probably move right in. Just a thought.
Lazy Agents again.
Your better off doing it yourself and saving the real estate fee.
Apathy among our real estate agents is in- excusable. First the New York Times story and now this. Often they are the first contact for new businesses and residents. They are killing our first impression. Something needs to be done, if karma has its way they will go out of business, we don't need "advocates" like this.
I know they have phones, they list the numbers on their web pages. Some even say "call us" on their web sites. Did they pay their phone bills? or maybe they were on vacation? The Realtors work hard, don't they? but for whom?
The real estate business in our area is quite the racket. From personal experience, if I ever decide to move again, I'll be selling on my own.
I recently sold my Shinglehouse home (when I say I sold it...I mean, I sold it!) and moved further out in the country.
My house was listed with a local realtor. For three months after they received my listing, I never heard from the agent. In fact...they never came and retrieved their sign! I still have it...I suppose as a souvenir.
Dealing with the agent to purchase my new home only furthered my disgust. Deciept, lies, and no return phone calls. It was like a romance novel gone wrong. I never thought one would have to work so hard to provide someone else their comission.
I hope someone comes through for the SPCA in this case. That'd be almost as noble as their cause.
Attorney General Corbett announces environmental crimes charges against sewage treatment plant operators in Elk & Clearfield counties
HARRISBURG - Attorney General Tom Corbett today announced that agents from the Attorney General's Environmental Crimes Section have filed criminal charges against the operators of two sewage treatment plants who are accused of falsifying information about the operation of those facilities, including fabricating data on monthly reports used to monitor the impact of the sewage treatment plant on local waterways.
John R. Forster
|
Donald A. Rucinski |
Corbett identified the defendants as John R. Forster, 49, 155 Church St., Penfield, and Donald A. Rucinski, 55, 4987 Gardner Hill Road, Weedville.
Corbett said that Forster served as operator of the Huston Township Sewer Authority Wastewater Treatment Plant, located in Clearfield County, and also served as a back up operator for the Jay Township Municipal Authority Wastewater Treatment plant, located in Elk County. Rucinski served as the operator of the Jay Township plant, and both men allegedly prepared monthly operating reports for the plant that were submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
According to the criminal complaint, Forster and Rucinski submitted 1,497 falsified test results on monthly reports submitted to DEP between January 2006 and October 2007. The case was referred to the Attorney General's Environmental Crimes Section by DEP after suspicions were raised about the accuracy of the test results and reports being submitted by Forster and Rucinski.
Corbett said that Rucinski and Forster allegedly used a laboratory, located at the Jay Township Wastewater Treatment Plant to analyze testing data collected at both the Jay Township and Huston Township facilities and prepare the monthly DEP reports which are required for all sewage treatment plants. The reports are used by DEP inspectors to monitor the effectiveness of the plants and the quality of the discharge being released into the waters of the Commonwealth.
According to the criminal complaint, DEP inspectors determined that the laboratory at the Jay Township plant had only purchased 50% of the supplies necessary to perform certain tests, and had only purchased 25% of the supplies necessary for other testing. Additionally, Corbett said that DEP inspectors determined that nearly every result for fecal coliform conducted at the laboratory was false. Those tests are used to determine if the discharge from the plants has been potentially contaminated by human waste.
Forster is charged with four counts of unsworn falsifications to authorities, four counts of tampering with public records and two counts of unlawful conduct under Pennsylvania's Clean Streams Law. Rucinski is charged with two counts of unsworn falsifications to authorities, two counts of tampering with public records and one count of unlawful conduct under Pennsylvania's Clean Streams Law.
Both defendants were preliminarily arraigned on Thursday, July 31st, before St. Mary's Magisterial District Judge Donald A. Wilhelm and released on $5,000 bail. Preliminary hearings are scheduled for August 26th, at 2 p.m., before Magisterial District Judge Wilhelm.
Corbett thanked the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for their cooperation and assistance with this investigation.

And the gas company wants to raise our prices by up to 60% for natural gas !!!
This is an uncontrolled mess. Nothing for the county. We will all pay for this in the end. Our water is in jeporday!!
I am curious, will you let this go through. You are typical of the junkie press today - didn't check any facts, just made it sound sensational, overblown and in many cases flat out lying. You post pictures, post made up stories and don't even try to check your information before you throw it out there. I thought people in this area might still have some integrity, but apparently, we have allowed our integrity to go by the wayside as have all the others - you credentials on your photos state you were a correspondent for a Buffalo paper and others, go back and take your misstated mess with you. Did you interview anyone to find out what really was happening at the wells site? Did you go on the well site and id yourself as a jouranlist and ask questions, or do your photos not lie and you made it all up from the roadside? Gas Boom? we have been drilling wells in this area for over a hundred years and now there's a gas boom? A lot of gas - have you ever seen a big well come in? I have - go south - you take a photo from the road side and make something up in the dark - you apparently work well there.
Bravo Mr. Jones!!! We all know that gas and oil companies are making a killing while we shiver in our homes in the winter because we are afraid of turning up the thermostat.
First let me start by saying to Mr. Annonymous Driller, Why hide your name? Is it so you won't have to face the community with answers to why their gas prices are so high? Or the fact you are making millions drilling from Roulette to Wellsboro( Yes I know for a fact, not made up)!! Why turn the flame down when Jim was taking pictures? I'm fed up with you and the others who want to voice your ignorance and put down the one man who is putting in countless hours (for free) for local residents and those of us who are out of state to keep in touch with local news. Yet none of you have the balls to leave your name, why is that? If you don't like the info mister Jones puts out don't read his website!! If I don't like the BS I hear on the presidental debates I turn it off! Keep up the good work Jim, We enjoy reading it faithfully!! Thanks, Courtney Jones
I believe we need a watchdog group. I recently came across an Ultra Resource site that was sucking water out of a small Class A trout stream that is barely flowing. I wonder who regulates these people?
Who is this guy?! What are you talking about? My dad spends countless hours everyday keeping us informed of whats going on in potter county and surrounding areas and does a great job with it! He is professional,accurate and unbiased in his reporting! He has readers all over the world and people compliment him all the time for his service! My dad is a good,religious man who has been in businesses all his life and tells it like it is!What is your problem?His blog is the 1st thing a lot of us check first thing in the morning!He does his homework and lives right across the street from this gas well on my brother in laws property! If you don't like his blog,please do a couple thousand of us a favor and don't read our favorite blog!!Just by reading your idiotic,anonymous comment,we don't even acknowledge your ridiculous opinion!Crawl back into your hole and go get yourself a subscription to the National Enquirer loser! Keep up the good work DAD! Brad Jones - bradleykjones@yahoo.com
To: Brad Jones
While it is understandable to rush to the defense of your father, I think the site would be better suited if you refrain from doing so. Judging from the touch of gray in your father's hair, his bio and his postings, I think he is adequately able to handle confrontational posts. You're post was frankly childish and there by slightly diminishing the integrity of the site.
Concerning the "anonymous driller" and reading the post from a neutral point of view, I believe when he said "we have been drilling wells" I'm not sure he meant it as first person. With that said, the post itself was poor because it attacked the author instead of challenging his points or in turn submitting his own facts or stats.
To the elder Mr. Jones
While I'm not a big fan of your sites color scheme, I do enjoy and appreciate the time you take to post the news and events. If I could make a request / suggestion: resize your header photo (in this case 100_1108.jpg) to at least half of what it currently is. I believe your site is formatted for 800 x 600, however your header picture is 1600x1200. Following my suggestion would fix the issue of the photo not fitting on the page and secondly it would reduce the size of the photo for those who don't have a broadband connection.
Keep up the good work..... John
Hi Jim,
Keep up the good work. It is nice to get the news when it news. Try to read the local potter enterprise if you want to see a editors opinion on everything. He slants the truth to express his opinion so poorly it is pathic!!
Right on Jim! Tell it like it is!
TO JOHN:
Apparently, you had no real rebuttal to the author's explanation. Therefore, resorted to criticizing the blog's color scheme and picture. Weak! Let's be crystalline on the issue...what is it about the color scheme you don't like? Does it remind you of something bad from your childhood?
Next, the picture, albeit slightly annoying... I really don't think it's a deciding factor whether people will visit the blog or get in their vehicle, drive to town, and pay for D.G.'s personal opinion column.
(By the way Jim, I like the pictures.)
Where's your contribution? Where is your blog? How about shutting up until you have something useful to contribute? How about confronting your childhood demons to lessen our pain of having to deal with you?
By all means post your opinion but refrain from "childish" remarks about the blog. By the way, wasn't that what you were criticizing Brad Jones for? Of course, I never saw the issue there but who am I? I wonder what most people would find "childish"...defending your father or demeaning someone's hard work? Hmmm...
Get a life.
WOW !! MR. JONES.. DID YOU EVER THINK THAT A 'GAS BOOM' WOULD TURN INTO A ARGUMENT OVER YOUR WEBSITE HEADING PICTURE BEING TOO BIG OR YOUR SON DEFENDING YOU ?? WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT .. HOLY MAN.. LET'S BACK OFF MR. JONES .. HE DOESN'T HAVE TO PROVIDE US WITH SUCH A WONDERFUL INFORMATIVE FREE WEBSITE THAT GIVES US MORE NEWS THAN ALL OF OUR LOCAL PAPERS AND RADIO STATIONS PUT TOGETHER.. MR. JONES.. YOUR SITE IS THE ONLY 'NEWSPAPER' WE BOTHER WITH IN OUR HOME.. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!
Kane-based state police are investigating several recent thefts in their area.
During the early morning hours this past Sunday, thieves took 10 catalytic converters from Ken’s Used Auto Sales on Main Street in Eldred. Thieves reached into Sable Hackett’s unlocked ’98 Chevy Cavalier last Saturday and removed her pink wallet, Pennsylvania ID, checkbook, debit card, social security card, credit card and $30 in cash while it was parked at the Wanderers Motorcycle Club in Lafayette Township between 1:00 and 9:30 p.m. Someone siphoned six gallons of gasoline from a 2007 Ford Escape belonging to Brandy Robson of Eldred overnight last Friday while the car was parked on Canfield Hollow Road.
Troopers at Emporium are investigating recent camp burglaries on the Norcorss Run Road in Grove Township. Thieves took several items from Camp Double L owned by Darryl Horner of Spring Grove sometime since Memorial Day and also entered one owned by Jeffrey Rummel of East Berlin, PA sometime since July 4th weekend.
Criminal mischief incidents are under investigation by state police here and at Kane. Sometime between 10:00 p.m. Sunday and 8:00 p.m. Wednesday at the home of Linda Smith on the North Fork Road in Westfield. Vandals tampered with the lids on both a septic tank and well.
Culprits struck the roof and cab front with a golf ball to damage a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado belonging to Jeffrey Neatrour of Crosby Saturday evening while it was parked near the Steve Jerman Memorial on Rote 66 in Wetmore Township.
Vandals used a blunt object to damage the mirror and post on a ’97 Chevrolet Cavalier owned by Kelly Swift of Smethport last Thursday or Friday while it was parked on East Main Street in Smethport.
Jim,
A local shinglehouse man was in a bad accident on Sat.
His name is Terry Moyer, the family has 4 children.
He has been life flighted to the hospital in Sayre. The only details I have are broken ribs and possible blood on the brain. Any prayer from the people of Gospel Tabernacle could offer this evening would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you..
To All,
Thank you for the prayers and thoughts for Terry. I know it helped alot.
He is still in the hospital in Sayre. The MRI's of his head injurys have come back good.
The shoulder (not ribs as origannly thought) was completely shattered and surgery postponed for more xrays. Other cuts and brusies I'm sure.
He does not remember anything that happened, but from piecing it together, it may have been a hit and run Saturday night between 7+- and 9+- in Shinglehouse, near Newtons Market.
If anyone would have any information please contact the local or state police.
Thanks again & God Bless you and your work here on the Blog
It is about time somebody did something about the terrible conditions those poor animals were living and dying in. I tried numerous times, but nobody seemed to give a darn, I'm just glad the remaining live animals were finally removed.
I'd say the owner needs some help to. That whole place is an eyesore. How many people bushhog their lawns instead of mow?
thank god some one finally did something for those animals. i also tried to get help for them and nobody seemed to care. maybe when the spca moves to potter, this wont happen anymore. the owner needs to clean up his property, it is an eyesore.
Lock'em up and donate their property to the SPCA. Real estate issue solved and one less ignorant waste who shouldn't be allowed to share the oxygen with the rest of the world. Animal cruelty...man that p!sses me off!
I AGREE WITH MAD MIKE... THROW THAT IDIOT TO THE CURB AND GIVE THE S.P.C.A. THE PROPERTY..
"Life will never be the same," Tammy Jo Kitchen, Samantha's mother said, adding that she suffers sleepless night because she hears her daughter crying for her mommy and daddy.
Marcy Kitchen said she finds it hard to get through the day without them. "You took my mother and best friend too, and our precious angel, Samantha," she said as she wiped away tears. "I never thought to say good-bye or 'I love you' and never will get that chance again."

WELLSBORO - Tasha M. Cole, 26, of 32 Crest Lane, Gaines, was charged by state police with two counts each of theft, receiving stolen property, and possession of a controlled substance after she allegedly took pills from a cart at the Country Terrace assisted living facility, 1919 Shumway Hill Road, Charleston Township, Tioga County.

Chase ends in city crash, arrest
A Philadelphia motorist wanted in that city on drug charges led Old Lycoming Township police on a high-speed chase early Thursday morning that ended when the car he was driving crashed into the front porch of home in the 2600 block of West Fourth Street.
The driver, identified as Gilbert Bernard Palmer, 28, bolted from the crash scene about 3:10 a.m., but he was nabbed by a South Williamsport police officer who was assisting with the pursuit near Newberry Park.
Police allege Palmer was under the influence of intoxicants, and the driver admitted that he was "drunk" after consuming two beers.
Palmer has no driver's license and has repeatedly been arrested for driving without one, police said.
The pursuit, which at times exceeded speeds of 70 mph, began in Old Lycoming Township near Frederick and Marydale avenues and ended when Palmer's vehicle plowed into the porch at 2601 W. Fourth St., Sgt. Joseph Hope said in an affidavit.
It was at least the third high-speed pursuit in the region that ended in a crash within that last six weeks.
Palmer, who has "an extensive criminal record," is wanted in Philadelphia for failure to appear for a hearing to face charges of delivering illegal drugs, Hope said.
Automatically jailed on a bench warrant, Palmer was arraigned late Thursday afternoon before District Judge James H. Sortman on charges of fleeing and eluding police, hit-run, driving under the influence of intoxicants, speeding and other summary traffic violations. He was recommitted to the Lycoming County Prison in default of $50,000 bail.
Attorney General Corbett announces arrest of Internet predator in Montgomery County; 154th arrest by Child Predator Unit
HARRISBURG - Attorney General Tom Corbett today announced that agents from the Attorney General's Child Predator Unit have arrested a Montgomery County man accused of using the Internet to sexually proposition what he believed was a 13-year old girl, as well as sending nude and sexually explicit webcam videos to the girl. The "girl" was actually an undercover agent from the Attorney General's Child Predator Unit who was using the online profile of a child.
Corbett identified the defendant as Henry Flud Campbell, 64, 767 Hazelwood Drive, North Wales, a retired chemist and liquor store clerk.
Corbett said that Campbell, using the screen name "fludcamp" and posing as a 26-year old man, allegedly used an Internet chat room to approach an undercover agent from the Child Predator Unit who was using the online profile of a 13-year old girl. Within minutes on the initial contact, Campbell is accused of using a webcam to send the "girl" nude images of him masturbating in front of his computer. More.....

What is wrong with some of the men in Potter County?
And people are wondering what is wrong with our children today? This is what is happening, it's just most of it is either kept secret or swept under the rug. What a shame. I'd like to do some slapping.
I know... I know... I know... I dont have ALL the details or FACTS of the case... But WHY in the name of (enter you own Politically Correct-whatever) was this person only held on $5000.00 unsecured bail... not only what is wrong with people... and it is not just young people... There is that guy from Clearfield County too... OUR judicial system fails to protect children... PERIOD!!!!!!!! WAKE UP Ms. Easton....
It is a disgrace. They hit and beat their children, wives and girlfriends and they are back out on the streets with minimal bail. The dj's are not held responsible for future actions and we, the public are put in danger. Thanks for nothing easton.
I don't know all the facts and I wholeheartedly agree that our children's safety should come first. I do not know the extenuating circumstances and won't pretend to. I also would like it known...I'm not a big supporter of excessive law enforcement in our communities.
With that said, I do have to show some support for Ms. Easton. I know her to be a compassionate, fair, and decent person who presides with heart. This is in stark contrast to the blatant disrespect that most of our law enforcement and DA's office shows the public.
I understand that, in this case, the child's age should be taken into account but for those of us who believe in corporal punishment...I certainly do not want the liberal goverment or public telling me how to raise or discipline my child. THAT'S what's wrong with our children today!
I sincerely hope this child is okay but I also hope that this wasn't some overblown drama thrust into the local news. I'd also like to think that Ms. Easton took into account Jardine's history, character, and demeanor when she made her decision.

Nancy Taylor, Senior Manager of Corporate Communications, says, “This large adjustment is necessary to more accurately reflect the price of the natural gas the Company purchases for its customers. The amount is directly related to the dramatic increase in the market price of natural gas during the past three months.”
What about the latest and greatest Marcellus Shale gas that is supposed to be so great?? Its typical. The city slickers will benefit while we produce the gas here!!!
NatGas dropped last week about $4/1000 to under $10/1000. The top execs at National Fuel should be tarred, feather and sent to Cuba with the rest of the terrorist pigs.
State Police report that an adjunct professor at Houghton College is facing some serious accusations. According to troopers, 55 year old Craig Fellenstein is accused of one count of forcible touching, one count of unlawfully dealing with a child, and count of sale of marijuana.
Fellenstein was arraigned and committed to Allegany County Jail, $1,000 bail.
Officials say that Fellerstein has already posted bail.
Houghton College is a fine institution of education.. I have a niece attending. Just goes to show though, that creeps are everywhere and thinking your child is safe because they attend a church based college isn't always the case.. Educate them, don't shield them.. it does them no good in the end. These students did the right thing by turning him in. Now, if he gets a sentence fitting his crime, I will be surprised.. but, that's another issue. Personally, I think we should quit coddling these guys and bring back public floggings.. Scars are a wonderful reminder to stay on the straight and narrow.. especially when it comes to endangering the welfare of children! But, that's just me... =]
