Opening Day of Rifle in Pennsylvania
Opening Day of Rifle in Pennsylvania, the Monday after Thanksgiving can be a big event for some and for others not so much. Deer hunting and the use of firearms is a very controversial topic. This Meograph about opening day and hunting gives some more information on the topic itself and it also provides the view of a supporter of hunting and also the view of someone who is not a supporter. #nmjatsru #meograph #openingday #hunting

Meograph Mapping/ Timeline Proposal --- Opening Day
For my meograph mapping/ timeline blog post I am proposing
to cover opening day of rifle in Pennsylvania along with what hunting season
means to both people who participate and support hunting and also those who do
not support hunting. I plan to start my project off with when opening day of
rifle first started. I will map where the PA game commission is located. Also I
will provide mapping related to interviews incorporated into the project along
with where people can purchase license’s and the certain zoning for certain tags
hunters can get. Also provide some more information on deer hunting.
This topic for this project is newsworthy because of timing
due to it will be happening this year on December first. Also the closer and
closer the day gets the number of deer of Pennsylvania along with SRU students covering
proximity and significance because it requires a lot of safety concerns to the
public, deer are everywhere, along with this topic is very controversial. For prominence this is an on-going event that
happens every year, but recently with the gun regulations being up in many
politic talks, hunting and deer season may be at risk. This topic also covers
human interest because there are many people who are involved with this but
also people who are against it as mentioned earlier. being hit by cars increases. This story
impacts a lot of people all over the state

November 4th-General Election Day
Adams Twp, November 4, 2014, 7am
November
fourth, known as Election Day every year has come. Residents across the United
States are showing their opinions on who they want to best represent their
county and state. Here we are focusing on the election in the state of
Pennsylvania and in more detail in Adams Township of Butler County. This
Election this year is known as the General Election, which residents will cast
votes for the State Governor, Lieutenant Governor, U.S. House and State House.
The big talk though for this election is who to chose for governor? Will it be
Tom Corbett returning to office since being voted in, in 2011 or will he lose
to his competitors Tom Lineaweaver who is an independent or Tom Wolf who is a
democrat?
Outside several signs were placed around the Adams Township building to display who was running and also doing some last minute campaignin |
In the video below it shows the point of view of walking into the Adams Township building on Election Day. Two people are standing outside performing last minute campaigning by handing out materials to voters. They were not interested in commenting on the election.
This area along with many other western Pennsylvania townships and counties were very important in the election this year. They were important because both Corbett and Wolf made their last minute push to voters by ending their campaigning yesterday in Pittsburgh for the last day of campaigning before the election. More local coverage on their visit to pittsburgh can be found here!
