Clearly: Doug Mastriano and Dr. Mehmet Oz will offer us the best value for Pennsylvania’s future, if we elect them on Nov. 8.
A recent political attack ad says John Fetterman wants to change the felony murder doctrine.
The upcoming U.S. Senate election in Pennsylvania is one of the most important in the nation. As a resident of Cumberland County, I am proud to support Dr. Oz in this race.
This November, many of us will vote in new legislative districts. Ian Kidd is running for PA State Representative in the 81st District, which includes Orrstown and the Franklin County portion of Shippensburg, St. Thomas, Fannett, Metal, Letterkenny, Lurgan and Southampton townships. Ian Kidd…
I was disappointed to learn that the ‘green space’ next to the library will be devoted to benches, tables and chairs for public use when such items already exist just down the street. May I suggest an alternative, one that will provide an oasis in the middle of town, rest and stress release …
Our family would like to thank everyone for their support and kindness during our time of sorrow for the loss of our loved one, Donald M. Stouffer, who passed away on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022.
Kidney disease is a life-changing diagnosis for patients and their families. I experienced it first-hand as my husband went through dialysis and a kidney transplant, and I continue to see it every day working with kidney patients who are facing issues with treatments and cost.

Hello, My name is Guy Hayslett, and I am the Post Commander of the Shippensburg American Legion Post 223. We have sponsored the Midget Football Redskins since the inception of the League. Recently, I found out that not all the sponsors have been doing their share to support the league as the…

I was in Shippensburg this Memorial Day weekend and was happy to see all the Veterans’ banners hanging from the poles, but that happiness soon changed when I found no banners of Veterans were displayed downtown; all that was downtown were banners from Shippensburg University. I spoke to a fr…
The Humane Society of the United States just released its 10th annual Horrible Hundred report on problem puppy mills and once again Pennsylvania has a number on the list including one right here in Newville, (pages 66-70). The Newville facility is in the annual report for the fifth year. Iss…
I’m writing to share my thoughts on HB-972, also known as the “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act” that was introduced by Rep. Gleim and passed through the House.
To the SASD School Board:
Quoted from the dedication program of Shippensburg Memorial Park: “The purpose of this booklet is to give a brief account of the efforts made by Shippensburg people to provide the Veterans Memorial Park now ready for dedication and use this 4 September 1950. At the close of World War II, loc…
Mr. Past President,
Cumberland County has a long and respected history of civic values. My great-grandfather, Eli Shuman, bought a farm in Cumberland County in 1860, moving from Lancaster County. Albert U. Shuman, his son, my grandfather, worked the farm with my grandmother, Catherine, until 1944. They went to …
We, the undersigned local Jewish and other organizations of Pennsylvania, are joining together to object to State Sen. Doug Mastriano’s appropriation of Jewish symbols at a recent event announcing his candidacy for Pennsylvania governor. At this event, a man associated with Mastriano’s campa…
I used to sing, “Where have all the flowers gone?” Now I’m singing, “Where have all the good Republicans gone?”
Close your eyes and imagine what Christmas would be like if you lived alone, with no one around to experience the holiday? How would it feel to sit alone and have a can of beans for dinner while others celebrated with food, presents and each other.
It is that time of year again. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the guns along the Western Front finally fell silent. (Well, most of them did anyway, as the last guns to be stilled did so only by nightfall). The Germans had asked for an immediate ceasefire during a…
On July17, 2021, the 35th Annual Bob Baish Memorial Golf Tournament was held at the Cumberland Golf Course.
To anyone younger than the age of 20, the memory of the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, may seem surreal. However, for those of us that experienced it first-hand, it remains one of those historic days etched in your memory for all the wrong reasons. America rallied in the days and years thereafte…
Who owns the former Lowe’s building? The answer I received from asking the township was Shippensburg L LLC. Who is Shippensburg L LLC? Upon further investigation, I was told that this is referred to C/O Oberdier Ressmeyer, 655 Third Ave., 28th floor, New York, NY 10017. Who are the people be…
Someone told me that a Georgian woman recently compared the COVID-19 public health safety measures to the Holocaust. This seemed too ignorant and hateful to be true -- although no, someone did make that comparison.
In contrast to complaints in the media regarding voting experiences elsewhere in the state and nation, I wish to pass along the exclusively positive feedback that I have heard from voters in Cumberland County concerning the new voting machines -- first used in 2020. Voters comment to me most…
Recently a story was in the Chronicle about the Parx Casino proposed for Shippensburg. The story made it appear that the casino coming is definite and that the upcoming meeting with the PA Gaming Board concerns licensing of slot machines only. Please announce the meeting is at the Luhrs Conf…
Primary Election Day is coming on May 18.
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,
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…
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…
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.
Calling All Moderates,
Dear Denise Bonura,
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 …
