Troopers are also probing the theft of some items from a pick up truck in Wetmore Township late last month. Thieves stole  a Stihl chain saw valued at $600; a Stihl weed eater with the word “cooter” written on top and a  small blue portable air compressor from the back of a 2019 Dodge Ram while it was parked on Highland Road between 6:00 pm September 21 and 8:00 am September 24. The equipment  is owned by a 53 year old Kane woman.  Anyone with information about either theft is asked to call state police at 814.368.9230.

Both Kane residents involved in a domestic violence assault Sunday afternoon have been charged with physical harassment. Troopers at Lewis Run say when they responded to a report of a domestic incident on Paradise Drive in Wetmore Township  they separated a 51 year old man and a 31 year old woman and interviewed both before charging them in district court.

Two  26 year old downstate residents have been charged for drug possession by state police at Lewis Run.

Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding announces the theme for the 107th Pennsylvania Farm Show: Rooted in Progress. The event will run from Saturday, January 7 through Saturday, January 14, 2023 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg.

The 2023 Farm Show theme, Rooted in Progress, was chosen to honor the deep roots of agriculture in Pennsylvania’s heritage, as well as the significant updates and pivots farmers and their families have made, and continue to make, to grow and adapt as markets, consumers, climate, and resources change.

The 2023 Pennsylvania Farm Show will feature fan-favorites like the 1,000-pound butter sculpture, famous Farm Show Food Court, bunny-hopping and sheep-shearing competitions (among hundreds of other competitive agricultural events), cooking demonstrations at the PA Preferred® Culinary Connection, and more than one million square-feet of hands-on agriculture education opportunities and chances to engage with the people who power Pennsylvania’s $132.5 billion agriculture industry.
