Update on Buckeye Pipeline work in area off of Stoney Mountain road. From Buckeye Pipeline :
"I wanted to provide a brief update as to our pipeline maintenance plans. Tentatively between now and mid-October, weather and conditions permitting, we expect to perform our maintenance, as our original schedule was delayed.
Work could extend into November/December, if we are delayed for any reason, as we are performing maintenance on multiple sites along our 701 pipeline; however, we are doing our best to have the work completed in October if we can."

*We are having issues with bears in the community.
Some tips on how to keep the bears away.
· Don’t place your garbage outside unsecured
· Do not leave pet food, bird seed, and/or garbage outside.
· Do not leave food outside for any wildlife.
· Clean your barbeque grill after use and never dump the grease outside.
Eliminating the feeding source will help detract bears! Black bears will consume almost anything.
Please visit www.portal.state.pa.us for more information on the Pennsylvania Black Bear.
