PA open-carry handgun rules: 'We have created a minefield of regulations,' advocate says
On Feb. 3, Ashley Curry, 31, of Columbia, got into an argument with another woman in the parking lot of a Columbia shopping center.
Roland survived, and Curry was charged with ethnic intimidation, aggravated assault and related offenses.
She was not charged, however, with a violation of Pennsylvania's Uniform Firearms Act — the state's overriding list of gun laws.
That's because, "She had a valid license to carry a firearm," Columbia police Chief Jack Brommer said.
PA Joins Two More States in Banning Use of 'Climate Change'
A former employee of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) said that she had been "explicitly ordered" to remove all references to climate change from the DCNR's website. She said the orders came from then-Gov. Tom Corbett's administration.
Judge: No reduced bail for Ashley Curry

It's a bird, it's a plane . . .
It's . . . um . . . a plane. A C-130 to be exact, like the ones that flew over on Sunday morning.
This plane circled the town twice today, as if in a holding pattern, at about 3 p.m. One flew over at about the same time yesterday.
Messin' with the monolith
Construction crews worked on the monolith at the Route 441 bypass project today . . .
In these two shots, the ladder dangles as it is hoisted away with a crane . . .
Take that, Winter!
Borough crews worked today to remove snow along Lancaster Avenue. Let's hope that's the last of it.

As oil trains continue to derail, top Pennsylvania officials demand federal action
An analysis of those in danger in case of an oil train fire released last week by PublicSource showed three schools and a day-care center in Marietta and Columbia within the evacuation zone of Norfolk Southern's Port Road rail line along the Susquehanna.
They are the Susquehanna Waldorf School in Marietta, Little People Day Care in Columbia, and Park Elementary School and Our Lady of the Angels Catholic School in Columbia.
"The potential for disaster is too great to ignore," Gov. Tom Wolf wrote in a Feb. 27 letter to President Barack Obama in which he said oil train safety is a top priority for his administration.
Making fasnachts was a 40-year tradition for this Columbia family
For 40-plus years, it was a tradition for her family to make fasnachts at the Columbia church that is Lancaster County's "Fasnacht Central."
Former Columbian Josetta Grimes, now of Ohio, submitted this photo of her mother Bernice Stein (on the left) and her aunt, Rosemary Donnelly, who are twins, with NBC-TV's Williard Scott when the "Today Show" weatherman came to Columbia to broadcast in 1989.
The whole family has helped with fasnacht-making at Columbia's Holy Trinity Catholic Church for years, Grimes recalls.
There’s no proof Daylight Saving Time saves electricity, so why do we even bother?
The overall DST effect on electricity consumption runs counter to conventional wisdom: DST results in a 1-percent overall increase in residential electricity demand, and the effect is highly statistically significant.
Central PA road crews patch potholes
With sun shining and temperatures in the mid-thirties, balmy conditions after the last few days, PennDOT trucks were still working along US Route 30 outside Columbia Borough in Lancaster County on Saturday.
Instead of filling their plows with snow, they were filling potholes with gravel.

Cottage fire at the riverfront today
Several departments responded to a report of a cottage fire along the river this afternoon and had the situation controlled in a short time.
"Tired" of this
Remember that tire that was out on the ice last Saturday?
Well, it wasn't there today.
It had been right there at the end of the footprints. Yes, footprints (leading right to left).
As a "public service," someone had walked out onto the ice, retrieved it, and placed it by this sign.
