Calling All Moderates,

Dear Denise Bonura,

Good afternoon,

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 …

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. 

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…

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.

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 …

On Saturday, July 18, the 34th Bob Baish Golf Tournament was held at the Cumberland Golf Course despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The 144 golfers played in temperatures over 90 degrees to remember Bob Baish and to support the Central

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,…

Here in Harrisburg, any elected official will tell you the importance of accurately weighing the costs and benefits of a policy. As servants to the public it is our duty to make sure that new laws and legislation work to provide benefits to the public and their businesses. Shouldn’t we hold …

Dear Editor,

This note is to acknowledge and thank the many great firefighters, neighbors and people that helped with the barn fire on Asper Road on June 29.

As we celebrate the Fourth of July, our freedoms are in danger of disappearing.

I recently read your article about the Shippensburg Prom. Or should I say about Ms. Ridgway’s business. It is wonderful that the community is trying to put something together for the kids, however the article read as if it was a front-page advertisement for RE/MAX Prestige. It appears that s…

I just had to respond to your story and photos of the Big Spring Music Department chaired by Mr. Nobile!

I am in opposition to President Donald Trump’s attack on transgender and LGBTQ medical rights. Yesterday, we learned that President Donald Trump’s administration, further seeking to dismantle anything accomplished by the Obama administration, announced it would rescind anti-discrimination ru…

As I woke up, I watched the sunrise this morning. I watched it breathe life into the air, the birds sing their praise. Although it’s officially summer and there isn’t a cloud in the sky, I have never experienced the sun shine so dark in my lifetime. It’s breath is more of a cry for help, the…

Dear Franklin County Citizens,

I am writing this Letter to the Editor of the Shippensburg News-Chronicle concerning the photograph of the tombstone/monument of Sgt. Robert Green published on page 6 of the May 28, 2020, edition.

I am writing in response to your 5/28/2020 cover story. Whether intentional or not, the cover story politicizes the situation by shifting the focus to “Freedom” versus Gov. Wolf, which fails to address the elephant in the room -- public health. As of June 6, 39 Franklin County residents, 5,9…

Big Spring Community,

Last week, May 17 to 23, 2020, we celebrated and honored all of our EMS workers who are supporting the health and wellbeing of the citizens in our communities for their outstanding dedication and expertise.

I would like to thank Gov. Wolf for his veto of Senate Bill 613 yesterday. As a candidate seeking the state House seat in the 199th Legislative district, I agree the way through this pandemic is by following the policies and guidelines established by Gov. Wolf and his medical professionals.

As your candidate running to represent all of you to advocate for your needs for safety, equality, equity and justice at your home, work, school and play, I am very concerned for you during this pandemic of the coronavirus (COVID-19) that is endangering people worldwide. I am deeply concerne…

Nomination Petition signers, beware. 

Greetings,

There has recently been an uproar over the prospect of building a new stadium and the reluctance of the School Board to approve constructing it.

It is not uncommon to hear frustrations from Cumberland County residents regarding traffic congestion on what are Federal and state highways/roads in Cumberland County. A major contributor to such traffic congestion, delayed commutes is insufficient Federal and state investment in Cumberland…

West Pennsboro Township Lower Precinct Voters:

Dear Editor:

To: Franklin County Voters,

As a current board member for the Shippensburg Area School District, I would like to make the following observations based on my experience with some of the candidates who are running in the upcoming election.

With precious little time remaining until this year’s General Election, please allow me to make the closing case that one of your votes should go to Michael Fedor for Cumberland County Commissioner.

Local elections are approaching, and though they don’t get the same level of attention as presidential elections, the leaders we choose on Nov. 5 will have a profound impact on our lives.

If Shippensburg school board director Dr. Geno Torri were a student in the school district he would be considered chronically truant.
