Linton got best in show in 1989 with another Doberman, named Indy.

Home Page News, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky /

Groundhog Day predictions about the coming of spring put the spotlight on Punxsutawney Phil every Feb. 2, but celebrating the midpoint between the shortest and darkest day of the year and the spring equinox has ancient roots in European agricultural life.

Some states require gun safety education in schools

National News, New York, News /

This school year, students in elementary, middle and high schools in some states will get a new lesson on safety: what to do if they find a firearm.

Featured, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, New York, News /

Masha Zabara marveled at what happened to the forest once deer weren’t around to decimate the understory.
In the fenced 13-acre site in Southern Columbia County, in New York, wildflowers had become reestablished. Tupelo and sassafras trees rose head high. Red maple stump sprouts and oak saplings thrived.
“It was like stepping out to another planet,” Zabara said.
