Both clubs are privately owned, however, the issue is the game/animals are in public domain and not the club’s property.

HOLIDAY EATING TIPS
1.   Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Holiday spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.

2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly, it's rare. You cannot find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!

3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.

4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.

5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Holiday party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello?

6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.

7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.

8. Same for pies. Apple, Pumpkin, Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert, Labor Day?

9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.

10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.

Remember this motto to live by:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate and wine in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming " WOO HOO   what a ride!"   MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
 

Jan 23 is his hearing. I will be following up on this story. 🤓

CHRIS BENNETT For Farm Journal       How much power does the government claim on private land? “Unfettered,” according to a Commonwealth Court decision in a case pitting the Pennsylvania Game Commission against two private gun clubs.
On Sept. 29, a court ruled against two hunting clubs in their lawsuit accusing the Game Commission of private property rights violations. The Institute for Justice represents both clubs and will appeal.
In its ruling, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania noted the government’s absolute power to “roam private land without consent, warrants or probable cause.”
“Private land isn’t public property,” says institute attorney Josh Windham. “That might seem obvious. But all too many officials, at every level of government, disagree. They think they have a blank check to invade private property. We’ll see what the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has to say about that.”
On Dec. 16, 2021, Pitch Pine and Punxsutawney hunting clubs sued the Game Commission after game wardens consistently entered club lands without permission or warrant, and secretly monitored club members, including photo collection via installation of a hidden game camera. The wardens’ behavior, the lawsuit asserted, was a direct violation of Pennsylvania’s state constitution, which explicitly protects “persons, houses, papers, and possessions.”
Most Americans assume law enforcement must obtain a warrant to enter or surveil private land, but for roughly a century, the Open Fields doctrine has allowed government officials, at state and federal levels, unqualified access to private land.
In its judgment Sept. 29, the Commonwealth Court detailed the alarming powers and “unfettered discretion” assumed by government via Open Fields:
“The facts of this case are not in dispute. The Hunting Clubs are member-owned hunting clubs that own thousands of acres of private land in Clearfield County. Members use the properties to hunt, vacation, and enjoy nature. To ensure their members’ privacy, the Hunting Clubs have posted their properties with no trespassing signs and have installed gates at all entrances to exclude nonmembers and intruders. However, the Entry Statutes empower game wardens with unfettered discretion to enter upon and roam private land without consent, warrants, or probable cause.”
In ruling against the two hunting clubs, the Commonwealth Court was bound by precedent set in Pennsylvania v. Russo (2007), when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court said “possessions” do not include private land.
The Pitch Pine and Punxsutawney lawsuit now moves to appeal. The hunting clubs, represented by Institute for Justice, will seek to overturn the Russo decision, and ask the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to address a pressing question: Does the state constitution protect citizens from warrantless searches on private land?
“Russo was wrongly decided and we’re eager to show the Pennsylvania Supreme Court why,” Windham says. “The Open Fields doctrine destroys the point of having private land. It treats fences, gates, posted signs and everything else you might do to keep your land private, as irrelevant.
“And, in turn, it gives the government unfettered power to enter your land, roam around, spy on you, take photos, record videos, take soil samples, ride around in bikes, trucks even horses, all without a warrant. We’re supposed to think that’s constitutional?”
Presently, six states place state constitutional authority above the Open Fields doctrine: Mississippi, Montana, New York, Oregon, Vermont and Washington.
The Pitch Pine and Punxsutawney arguments before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court should take place in 2024, with a decision likely in 2025. Institute for Justice is currently litigating similar Open Fields cases in Virginia and Tennessee about warrantless intrusions on private land.
In an Oct. 2 Institute release, Frank Stockdale, president of the Punxsutawney Hunting Club, summarized the private land ownership case: “The government has no right to spy on us on our own land without cause. This entire endeavor has been outrageous and needs to end now.”

thought it was a coyote?  hogwash.
"just a dog"?  Shame on him.  
"found a dog hit by a car"?  Liar
"municipal building dumpster"?  Most likely not intended for "government officials" to dispose of bodies of any sort, or for personal use.  Which this clearly was in his case.  
He needs to be charged and he needs to forfeit his hunting privileges and equipment to do so---and be subjected to having his eyesight checked.  Next he'll be shooting one of those adorable little cows because he thinks it's a deer.

Protect the identity of the whistleblower. They had reasons for wanting to stay anonymous. If they want people to know who they are, they can step forward. Why expose the one person that had the integrity to say something about dealings that looked wrong to them? There were many people that had to know, yet said nothing. The allegations, if found to be true, involve big names and multiple levels in the community. Their influence could make things rough. Again, they all deserve their day in court. Here's to hoping ALL of them pay if they are found guilty, big names included...or maybe, especially the big names.

This is turning into a book that I read about the Vito Massimo and the Siciiain Mafia and their collection of kickbacks,
embezzlement and other assorted crimes
 

Here’s a few pics we started with for Christmas this year!

And here’s how she REALLY felt about our photo session 😂

She is just precious!  I saw on FB how she is working on moving her legs and responding to her physical therapist.  She is doing a great job!  So proud of her!  

She sure did have a busy day yesterday with 9 visitors!! Brandi & Deryk cooked the turkey plus 99.9% of the meal. I taught them how to make deviled eggs. 😊 Plus I dropped off 2 pies Turkey Eve, Lemon meringue & heath cheesecake, plus a bag of frozen cauliflower & dinner rolls.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving from our Faith!❤️
She may look a little tired but she is So thankful for all the visitors and love she received today ❤️

+Happy turkey day Faith and family

I’m adding visual aides to this and hoped that helps
We all have 2 kidneys, one left, one right, each has a Ureter (drainage tube) that leads from the kidney down to the bladder
Faith of course has to be different 🤦‍♀️😂
Faith has what’s called a “duplex” kidney on the right side
So her right kidney did not form correctly and she has “two” kidneys and 2 ureters
Think of conjoined twins
This next pic looks close to what Faith’s kidney looks like on the right side
Her left kidney is perfectly normal by the way
As you can see there is an upper and lower kidney and each kidney section has its own ureter
The lower kidney is the “duplex” 
The upper kidney is perfectly normal and functioning well
The lower kidney is the one that had the 2cm stone in it
The issue she has now is that there is urine trapped inside that lower kidney and causing the kidney to be inflamed or “dilated”
What the MRI of her kidney showed is that the lower ureter is restricted or narrowed so much so that it’s not allowing urine to pass from the lower kidney to the bladder 
It’s “obstructed”
That narrowing and the trapped urine is what is causing stone formation and is also a big reason why she gets UTIs
Think of stagnant water
No water flow, allows for stagnant water and sediment to build up 
If that helps
So
Faith needs another surgery
They want to do a Pyeloplasty
Which basically means
They want to cut out the “obstructed” segment of the lower ureter and reconnect it with a stent
The stent will then be removed about a month or so later
Dr. Tasian feels extremely confident that this can be done At Pittsburgh and Dr Cannon her new urologist (since June) is willing to do it
We are also waiting until after the holidays to do this

great now I have 3 ways for updates 

What really makes me mad is that despite all the advancements they have made, they have lost some brilliant talent because of big pay cuts.  Now folks are left without doctors and have to find alternate sources of care.  That is not helping the doctor shortage!  I thought the goal was to keep doctors, not drive them away!
