On November 16, 2023 at 12:19 P.M. a 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo operated by Juliann O’ Malley, 52 of Ronks, PA was traveling east on Lincoln Highway when the operator lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle drove partially off the roadway and on to a grassy shoulder. Upon re-entering the highway, the vehicle traveled into the oncoming traffic lane (westbound) and collided head-on with a 2019 Volvo Tractor, towing a Semi trailer. As a result of the collision, O’ Malley became entrapped in the vehicle. The driver’s side airbag deployed during the impact; however, O’Malley was not wearing a seatbelt.

Members from the Gordonville Ambulance and Kinzer and Paradise fire companies extracted O’Malley from the vehicle using mechanical lifesaving equipment. She was subsequently transported by ambulance to Lancaster General Hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.

Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announced today after a meeting of the Commonwealth Drought Task Force that Drought Watch will continue for 19 counties with York County moved to Drought Warning.

 

Adams, Berks, Bucks, Cameron, Chester, Clarion, Cumberland, Dauphin, Fayette, Franklin, Fulton, Huntingdon, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton, Perry, and Venango counties remain on drought watch. York County will be moved to Drought Warning to support the efforts of water suppliers and their customers to conserve water.

 

For a map of drought declarations updated daily, see the DEP drought web page.

 

Residents on drought warning are asked to reduce their individual water use by 10 to 15%, or a reduction of six to nine gallons of water per day.

 

Varying localized conditions may lead water suppliers or municipalities to ask residents for more stringent conservation actions. See the list of public water suppliers that have requested or mandated water conservation in their communities.

 

Ways to Conserve Water at Home

 

There are many ways to conserve water at home, including:

 

  • Run the dishwasher and washing machine less often, and only with full loads.
  • Shorten the time you let the water run to warm up before showering and take shorter showers. The shower and toilet are the two biggest indoor water guzzlers.
  • Check for and repair household leaks. For example, a leaking toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water daily.
  • Install low-flow plumbing fixtures and aerators on faucets.
  • Replace older appliances with high-efficiency, front-loading models that use about 30% less water and 40-50% less energy.

 

You can find more tips on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency websiteOpens In A New Window.

 

How DEP Determines Drought Conditions

 

DEP assesses four indicators from data and information provided by public water suppliers: precipitation, surface water (stream and river) flow, groundwater level, and soil moisture.

 

The DEP Drought Coordinator monitors the indicators in close partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), which maintains gauges in streams and wells in many locations across Pennsylvania.

 

There are normal ranges for all four indicators. DEP makes drought status recommendations after assessing departures from these ranges for all indicators for periods of 3-12 months. See the USGS Pennsylvania drought condition monitoring websiteOpens In A New Window for a map that’s updated daily to show the status of all four indicators for each county

 

DEP shares these data and its recommendations with the state and federal agencies and other organizations that make up the Commonwealth Drought Task Force. Declarations are determined by DEP, with the concurrence of the task force.

 

For more information on how DEP monitors conditions and makes drought status declarations, see the drought management fact sheet.

HARRISBURG, PA – The Pennsylvania Game Commission has closed the shooting range on State Game Lands 43 in relation to the ongoing manhunt for fugitive Danelo Cavalcante, who escaped Chester County Prison Aug. 31, and more recently was learned to be armed and in the area of the game lands.

Aside from the shooting range, State Game Lands 43 remains open. Hunting seasons for squirrels, doves and Canada geese are underway, and the archery deer and bear seasons in southeastern Wildlife Management Units 5C and 5D begin on Saturday.

Hunters are advised to be on the lookout for Cavalcante, and take precaution while hunting in the area. Don’t leave parked vehicles unlocked, or unattended firearms in vehicles or elsewhere on the game lands.

The risk that shooting-range users could provide a source for the fugitive to acquire firearms was one consideration in closing the range.

Meanwhile, hunters and other game lands users, some of whom likely operate trail cameras on the game lands, are encouraged to report any potential sightings of the fugitive to police.

But all game lands users should put their own safety first and not take any unnecessary risks in the effort to bring the fugitive to justice, Game Commission Executive Director Bryan Burhans said.

“We want game lands users to stay safe, and that starts with staying informed,” Burhans said. “While the fugitive’s exact whereabouts are unknown, we do know he recently was in the area of State Game Lands 43, and that’s something hunters and others on the game lands need to take into consideration until new information surfaces or the search concludes.”

The range on State Game Lands 43 will remain closed indefinitely. Its reopening will be announced in another news release.

State Game Lands 43 is in Warwick and Nantmeal townships, Chester County, and Robeson, union and Caernarvon townships, Berks County.
