Letter To The Editor.......

Opinion--

The President is allowing the military to only attack targets that are no longer use by ISIS . Difference between ISIS AND ISIL is the amount of land cover. ISIS is Syria and Iraq. ISIL includes Israel, Golan Heights, Gaza, part of Egypt, part of Jordan, part of Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq, and part of Iran. Check out biblical maps to see this.

Attacks at night so you don't see damage is not shown/ people killed. We have used up about all our missiles and Obama refuses to allow more to be produced. With a foreign team that includes John Kerry, John Brennan, Chuck Hagel, Eric Clapper, Eric Holder and Ex-President Carter. 

They are able to, by controlling the media, show you news clips that look real but from a different time period or staged. CIA agents are coming forward to blow the whistle on what is happening.
John Kerry says we should side with Hamas. Chuck Hagel says those roadblocks to peace and are irritating America Jews and Christians that love Israel. A two-state country dividing Jerusalem is what Chuck Hagel wants. John Brennan wants us to work with the moderates in Hezbollah. These are the ones who wants Sharia Law and launch rockets on northern Israel every other day. 

Brennan's political correct nonsense is not only delusional, it is dangerous and has no place in our National Security mindset. Of course Jimmy Carter sold us out when he was President. Remember when Iran took our people for over a year.? Now he builds new homes for Hamas and stands against Israel.

This entire cabinet agrees with our President to stand with the Islamists and Islam. YOU MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICES OF WHO YOU VOTE FOR THIS ELECTION BUT FOR ME ,I WANT NO PART OF SOME THING AS ARE HAPPENING IN WASHING TODAY. ENOUGH SAID.

Bird Banding Demonstration In McKean County

Discover Smethport added 18 new photos to the album Bird Banding Demonstration Behind 911 Bldg.

The Allegheny Highlands Bird Club recently received a demonstration from club member, John Fedak, about banding processes for birds.

Fedak caught two song sparrows in barely visible nets placed in brush along Marvin Creek and, after very carefully removing the small birds from the netting in order not to injure the bird, demonstrated the proper methods for adding small, metal bands to the tiny legs of the birds.
He also demonstrated methods to determine important aspects of the bird such as the measurement of the wing span, gender and age of the bird. 

In addition to members of the bird club who were present for the demonstration, University of Pittsburgh at Bradford student from an environmental club, joined the bird group and collected insects.

There have been over 40 species of birds banded at the Marvin Creek site behind the 911 center by Fedak this season, and he has spotted 230 different species of birds in the county this year.
The demonstration was followed by the club’s regular monthly meeting in the 911 Building. The erection of an eagle or osprey nest either at Hamlin Lake or on county property near the Poor Farm, and the erection of interpretive signs to be placed on the Shawmut Trail next spring were discussed.

The bird club is open to new members and their Facebook site can be visited at: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Allegheny-Highlands-Bird-Club/111215068977063
