Voters of Cumberland County:
As you may know, I am the District Attorney of Cumberland County and a former Court of Common Pleas Judge. I want to tell you how important it is for you to vote for Michelle Sibert for Court of Common Pleas Judge on May 18.
First Assistant District Attorney Michelle Sibert, Cumberland County victims’ best friend, criminals’ worst enemy, yet always fair and empathetic to all involved.
As many survivors, I have learned to cope not only with the emotional consequences of the murder of my daughter, Randi Trimble, but also with the ongoing traumatizing effects of the legal aftermath.
To PA State Sen. Douglas Mastriano,
Pennsylvania is the birthplace of freedom. It was in Independence Hall in Philadelphia where our Founding Fathers gathered to debate and sign the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution – two of the greatest political documents ever written.
I was extremely disappointed to read the article in your April 8 edition, “State Reps. introduce bill to keep women’s sports fun and fair.” The headline, especially, is a misrepresentation of this discriminatory legislation. “Fun and fair??” I can assure you that the targets of this legislat…
Some of my best memories from my youth are from playing sports. Those experiences taught me teamwork, leadership, confidence, perseverance, and much more – all qualities that have combined to make me a successful businesswoman, mother, lawmaker, and even occasionally, a livestock farmer. I p…
As we begin to put the pandemic behind us and rebuild our economy, the Shippensburg region has an added reason to celebrate. Shippensburg Township supervisors have approved a proposal from Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment to operate a Parx casino by redeveloping an abandoned facility at th…
As restaurants, bars, gyms, entertainment venues and other small employers look forward to higher capacity limits and fewer restrictions starting April 4, there is a sense of optimism that the worst of this year-long COVID-19 nightmare may finally be behind us. However, reality tells us thes…
One year after COVID shutdown orders radically changed the way we live our lives; Pennsylvania is slowly returning to some semblance of normalcy as the Wolf Administration begins to belatedly relax certain restrictions.
As restaurants, bars, gyms, entertainment venues and other small employers look forward to higher capacity limits and fewer restrictions starting April 4, there is a sense of optimism that the worst of this year-long COVID-19 nightmare may finally be behind us. However, reality tells us thes…
In March 2020, Gov. Wolf faced a crucial decision in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nursing home care is vital to older Americans and affects us all. Throughout my career in nursing home administration, I have seen too many times that the lack of staffing is a problem that harms people and prevents quality care.
For years, I’ve told people how animals can learn from one another.
Calling All Moderates,
In the beautiful Cumberland Valley
One of the most important tasks that I have as a State Senator is reviewing the governor’s selections for state cabinet positions and confirming their appointments.
Dear Denise Bonura,
Later this year, Pennsylvania voters will hopefully be given the historic opportunity to change how we elect the 31 justices and judges who sit on our three state appellate courts — Supreme, Superior and Commonwealth. Under a proposed constitutional amendment now being debated in the state H…
As with many events, the PA Farm Show was forced to go virtual because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While recently visiting my “Hometown Proud Market,” I ran into a friend in the far corner of the store without a shopping cart or single item in hand. When asked if he was walking through the store for his health, his response was: “I was looking for one of the Saylor brothers to thank them …
To: Denise Bonura, Editor:
I’m going to discuss a topic this week that I don’t think I’ve ever talked about before.
I wish to thank everyone who remembered me on my 100th birthday. Those who sent cards, letters, phone calls, food, flowers, and the people who attended the virtual celebration with horns blowing, balloons and masked party celebration outdoors.
It was the summer of 1776, near New York City, when Gen. George Washington readied his troops for an attack by the British. As the leading center of commerce, it was imperative that the Continental Army help this vital economic center.
Not only do our legislators choose their voters by drawing their own districts by gerrymandering, but they have empowered their leadership to severely limit their own participation in the bill-making process. Only the ruling party makes the rules. How can it be that bills enjoying that overw…
Last month marked Transgender Awareness Week, Nov. 13-19, a prelude to Transgender Day of Remembrance on Nov. 20. This day is set aside to commemorate transgender people lost to violence. Transgender Awareness Week is a week when transgender people and their allies take action to bring atten…

I thank everyone for the support and votes that you gave me in our drive and determination to more fully represent the people of Pennsylvania House District 199.
As the General Assembly prepares for the upcoming 2021-22 session, one of the many areas we are addressing is how to aid Pennsylvania’s struggling businesses and reinforce our economy so it is stronger than it was before the business closures and stay-at-home orders were imposed.
Janelle Kayla Crossley is running for the House of Representatives in District 199, in Cumberland County. I have been impressed with her ability to listen to, and understand, others. She volunteers and works in the community of Carlisle and surrounding areas, where she hears people’s concerns.
Cumberland County voters face big decisions. The presidential election dominates the news, yet we know actions at state and local levels are where things get done. In the 199th Legislative District, we have Janelle Crossley, whom voters can send as our representative to Harrisburg with her c…
It’s that time of year again! The days grow shorter, the air gets cooler. Apple harvesting, pumpkin picking, corn mazes, playing in the leaves. However, one seasonal staple to not forget, especially this year, is getting a flu vaccine.
We all want the opportunity to elect representatives who are caring individuals, people who put their compassion into practice every day. Janelle Kayla Crossley, Democratic candidate for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in District 199, gives voters the chance to do just that. The p…
A note to the Never-Trumpers, former Republicans and “moderate” Democrats. The Bushes, McCains, Kristols who think things will go back to “normal” if they can just replace Trump. Things will not go back to the good old days. Biden is not a moderate. He says now he is not a Socialist, but he …

Two of Gov. Tom Wolf’s latest restrictions on restaurant and venue industries put hundreds of thousands of people out of work and caused countless businesses to close.
In the last two months, I've had a couple of long phone discussions with Janelle Crossley, and I find her to be the ‘real deal’ kind of person I want representing me in our state government. She shares mostly all of my views on many issues, especially on redistricting and House rule changes,…
Shippensburg Borough in Franklin and Cumberland counties will be voting on a so-called non-discrimination ordinance on Sept. 1, but how many of the residents of the borough know this? How many of the residents of the borough know the full ramifications of the proposed ordinance? During the …
