A 63 year old Ulysses man has been jailed for simple harassment in connection to an incident allegedly taking place Sunday afternoon on Academy Street in that town. According to Coudersport based state police, the incident began when a 40 year old Harrison Valley woman hit a turkey with her car, damaging the windshield. She drove to the home of the suspect to look at the damage and an argument became physical inside the house. The suspect allegedly slapped and choked the victim which impeded her breathing and put her in fear for her life. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to the county jail for arraignment.
No one was hurt in a collision last Thursday afternoon on Route 6 in Roulette Township. Troopers at the Coudersport barracks explained the collision occurred when Randy Cornelius of Roulette was headed east and a ramp came off the trailing unit on his International Harvester 7600 and landed in the westbound lane. David Gutowski of St. Marys slowed down to avoid impact but his Navistar International struck the disconnected ramp which became lodged under his rig. Police said Cornelius was unaware the ramp had come loose and continued traveling east away from the crash. A passenger in Gutowski’s truck, was identified as Curtis McCracken of Grampian, PA.

The Game Commission says There is no better cure for cabin fever than spending time in the woods hunting spring gobblers. But if you are new to spring gobbler hunting, or have yet to give it a try, starting out can feel overwhelming. The Game Commission is holding three online seminars to provide all the information needed to get started. The first will discuss the gear turkey hunters use and cover everything from the different type of
shotguns, shells, camouflage, calls and decoys. The second seminar will cover the biology of the wild turkey and topics such as where turkeys like to roost in the evenings, where they head in the mornings, what their different sounds mean, their breeding cycle, and how you can use this information to your advantage when scouting and hunting. The final seminar will focus on hunting tips and tactics, and will be hosted by Matt Morrett, a world-champion turkey caller and one of the most experienced turkey hunters in North America.
Each seminar will be approximately 45 minutes long and conclude with a question-and-answer period. If you can’t watch any of these seminars live, they will be recorded and posted on the Game Commission YouTube channel.
The first seminar will take place on Wednesday, April 6 at 7 p.m. Advance registration is required. To register or see the complete schedule of upcoming seminars, visit the Learn to Hunt page at the Game Commission’s website at http://bit.ly/pgclearntohunt
