Sandstone....all of Brush Mountain is safe from the turbines, correct? . Yes. Brush Mountain is designated as a Blair County Natural Heritage Area in the Blair County Natural Heritage Inventory. All the municipalities in which Brush Mountain is located (Antis, Tyrone, Logan, and Frankstown Township...

Earlier this month, Council VP Bill Latchford asked Tyrone Borough Council to revisit the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy's offer of a conservation easement on Ice Mountain, paying the borough to preserve Ice Mountain in its natural state. Unfortunately, most of the Tyrone Borough Council members w...

Something to say wrote:Question. How many acres of land does the borough own up there?

The Borough of Tyrone owns 3,800 acres around the Sink Run watershed, including much of Ice Mountain.

I am actually working on something that had come up a long time ago that might satisfy many persons at one time. I just have to wait for SandStone or IceMan to get back to me. The need for green i.e Ecology and Dollars. Council VP Latchford and I are working on a POSSIBLE resolution to this impasse...

Regarding Mayor Kilmartin I, too, read the article and believed what I read ...that Mayor Kilmartin was holding out for more money. I mean, that's what it said. However, after reading what he sent to JVAS it appears that was not what he intended. ( I have seen biased reporting in both the Herald an...

People are allowed to change their minds though as it seems Mayor Kilmartin has. Since it has always seemed clear that Mayor Kilmartin was opposed to the Ice Mt windplant, you should explain what you mean by the statement above. I mean it is a proven fact that cell phone towers kill more birds than...

The local media are guilty of a great injustice to Tyrone Mayor Jim Kilmartin. They reported that he voted "no" only because he wanted more money from Gamesa. Here's a note that I received this morning: "I should have stated this at the meeting as I did to the newspaper. 95% of wind f...

:How can they keep coming back and coming back month after month ??? Don't they get it ?? Windmills are not wanted around this area. . In Logan Township, Gamesa kept coming back meeting after meeting requesting windplant privileges until the Logan Township Supervisors told Gamesa that they would no...

I thought it noteworthy that Kosoglow explained before the vote that he was not voting against wind on Ice Mountain. He said that Casselberry, the engineer, said the ecological risk is minimal, so the ecological impact was no concern. 1. Council intends to vote again on this soon, perhaps as early ...

Maybe, just maybe, more folks in our community will not take so much for granted and begin to respect what we have, right here in our little corner of the world. We have a gold mine sitting up there.... it is ours... as it has been for thousands of years. Let's hope it is not given away. Maybe, jus...

Most of the general public who are not in the "know" and reading this nicey, nicey, propaganda contained in these articles will wonder why, after reading all that nicey, nicey stuff, our council would do such a thing by voting NO. Maybe, just maybe, if they stand up to this company and gi...

This turbine company has/is sending letters out to the public once more... everyone with a Tyrone address probably has one sitting in their mailbox right now. If I knew how to do it, I would post that letter on here.... but, I don't know how. Once again the "magic 55% for" these things ra...

- Just to be fair there was also forester that took myself and other Council Members through the Wind Farm up at Allegheny Ridge who was very knowledgeable and who had been a forester for over 20 years. So this only proves that you will have professional foresters that will be on one side or the ot...
