Quarantines On Gypsy Moth To Be Changed
Harrisburg plans adjust gypsy moth quarantines in four Northeastern counties and lift bans in three others. Effective Sept 10, 24 townships in Wayne Pike and Monroe will be freed after May spray, while Sept 20 areas in Luzerne, Carbon, Monroe and Lackawanna face new restrictions. About 500000 acres including Hazleton and several Luzerne and Carbon towns become quarantined due to an unusual July infestation near White Haven.

It's the Law: Neighbor's 10 foot claim and estate questions
Lancaster Farming and the Pennsylvania Bar Association answer reader inquiries on property use disputes and inheritance. The neighbor using 10 feet of a lot may be challenged after twenty one years of open continuous use. If a judgment debtor dies, payment may go to the estate. If a husband dies leaving no children, the widow's will directs the house to her beneficiaries, not the husband's sisters.
