Despite birders' protests, feds approve plan to raise water level behind Safe Harbor Dam

"It looks like big money will trump the welfare of the shorebirds. The effort to protect the Conejohela Flats started back around 1998, and after 17 years, this is how it ends."

Cleaning up

Borough road crews were cleaning streets today.  Salt, trash, and other debris have accumulated after a long and trying winter. At last night's borough council meeting of the whole, Borough Manager Ron Miller said that 300 tons of "anti-skid" was applied to the town's roads this season, and that it will take a few weeks to remove it all.  He asked residents to bear with crews as they work to tidy things up.
