Just tenths of a percentage point separated the candidates last night. Some counties still have mail in ballots to counts
and there was a reported discrepancy in counting ballots in Lancaster County were ballot misprints were discovered. John Fetterman, is the Democratic nominee, winning by a wide margin. Republicans are seeking to win in November to gain control of the US Senate. The gubernatorial race was more decisive. Doug Mastriano handily walked away with the nomination, crushing a field of opponents. Josh Shapiro was the only Democratic candidate for Governor.Richard Saccone won the Republican nomination for Lt. Governor and Davis Austin won the Democratic nomination for the office. State Representative Martin Causer easily re-nomination, soundly beating Robert Rossman. Port Allegany resident Owen Russell, launched a late write-in campaign for the Democratic nomination.

Attendees will help plant a riparian buffer along a creek to ensure a safe habitat for local wildlife and prevent soil erosion.

— Community project leadership skills.
— The effects of climate change on the local environment.
— Information about native plants and invasive species.
Upon completing the program, participants will receive a certificate and gain eligibility for community service hours.
Organizers ask that participants take their own beverages and snacks. Portions of the program will occur outdoors, so participants should dress in layers according to the weather.
Participants may register at no cost. The Department of Environmental Protection’s 2021 Environmental Education Grants Program provided funding for this event.
