Earthquake Gently Shakes Shenango Valley
Transfer – Mercer County was the epicenter of a small earthquake over the weekend. Shortly after 2:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, a tiny earthquake rated 1.7 on the Richter scale was detected; its origins were in Pymatuning Township. Humans usually cannot sense any earthquake interference below 2.0 on the scale, but sensitive monitoring equipment can detect and even pinpoint the exact location of an earthquake. In this case, the epicenter was near the intersection of Colt Road and Serenac Drive, six miles under a farmer’s field in the countryside around Transfer. 

Found: Crossbow
Waterford – The Pennsylvania State Police based in Erie are in possession of a crossbow that was discovered unattended near Waterford earlier this month and are looking to return it to its owner. The crossbow was discovered near the intersection of Robinson Road and Peach Street on November 5th and taken to the PennDOT garage in Waterford. From there, it was taken into custody by the Pennsylvania State Police for storage in the Found Property Room. Anyone with information about the owner of the crossbow should call (814)898-1641.
