COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA PENNSYLVANIA The Greatest Good For the Most People ^ISH COMMISSION Conservation is the opposite of sin—practically everyone is for it. HARRISBURG, PA. But few are at all sure what they're for, says an editorial written for the May Hunting and Fishing magazine by Editor Aaron Sternfield. And he concludes his essay, one of the most enlightened that ever appeared in a commercial outdoors magazine, with these words: We have been selfish for too long. We have often been conserva­ tionists only when it served our interests. Conservation isn't im­ proved habitat for wildlife, it isn't restocking, it isn't predator control, it isn't pollution control, it isn't better agriculture, it isn't the wise The Angler use of our resources for making goods. It isn't any one of these things—it's all of these things. It's not the parts—it's the whole. Unless we can see the whole picture—and see it right now—we (4,t& *?44Cie . might as well forget conservation, because we don't know the mean­ ing of the word. We're at the crossroads. We can travel our own selfish way or we can take the other way and the road marker says I Low-down on Pymatuning "The Greatest Good for the Most People." Ashing 2 By N. R. Casillo Now, these are stern words; they would not be likely to appear in a publication that was devoted solely to hunting and fishing, to methods of taking game. They may seem slightly less than spec­ n9ling for Black Bass tacular here, but they are shocking in the commercial field, or were By Don Shiner until outdoors editors began to develop a social conscience. Here are words that show an awareness of facts, a realization that con­ servation is composed of many problems with a multitude of answers. "led Dynamite Mr. Sternfield is asking his readers to lay aside their guns and rods By Jack Anderson for a moment and face the complexities of their great sport. These quotes above are the conclusion of a long essay detailing the diverse points-of-view of sportsmen, politicians, businessmen and farmers in this matter: they're all for it but they don't agree on what | Wafer—Friend or Foe By Howard M. Ernest it is. The editor takes a crack at defining (or redefining) that much- abused word: Conservation is that use of soil and water resources which assures the greatest good for the most people. Reptiles & Amphibians ... 10 This is not original—nor does Mr. Sternfield pretend that it is— By Hal H. Harrison but he is correct in the need to emphasize that definition again and again . "the greatest good for the most people." The plow de­ stroyed the prairie chicken, but the greater good demanded that the *Wn Rises II plow be retained—if it be used wisely, in the best interests of the soil By Albert S, Shimmel rather than the species. But Mr. Sternfield fails to define "conservationists" when he writes that: ub Activities 12 Conservationists alone cannot show us the way because conser­ » vationists don't always understand fully the needs of sportsmen, businessmen and farmers. ."lrnon Sense in Trout Stock- He's on tricky ground here. If a professional, well-rounded con­ ">g 14 servationist doesn't understand the manifold needs, who can? He By Louis W. Stevenson must, in performing his duties, consider wildlife, industry, farming, power projects, public relations and a great many other phases of daily existence. If he cannot form a synthesis, a center about which f^sylvania Streams Stocked all interests can gather, then where shall one be found? Shall a Pth Bass 22 historian be ignored because he did not create the events he interprets? But nothing will be done if it must be done solely by professional conservationists; nothing will be done until all of us understand Aaron Sternfield's basic thesis: that the answer lies in considering that which assures the greatest good for the most people. sL^bolic of July, ba ss fishing and the Dan Saults—Missouri Conservationist nfj rod with which many kinds of lures are lisd 6d to the scrappy warm water game s b6 - The rod handle and plugs have 4 11 molded from the plastic Tenite. on the Pennsylvania end of the CaUSi) way is chosen.

  • Aspects of Moral Reform in Early Nineteenth-Century Pennsylvania
    Aspects of Moral Reform in Early Nineteenth-Century Pennsylvania ILLIAM WARREN SWEET, the noted historian of religion in America, epitomized a popular view of America's moral Wfiber during the early national period in the following words: "The unanimous testimony of all religious leaders of all the religious bodies following the close of the [Revolutionary] war was that there was a rising tide of iniquities fast sweeping American youth to the brink of ruin; that the people were indulging in vices hitherto unknown among them . there was a 'lamentable decay of vital piety,' a prevalence of vice and a degeneracy of manners 'that called loudly for repentance and reformation. / "* Independence created many changes and spawned many new ideas which gravely concerned religious leaders in the new Republic. Economic gains caused the upper classes to move away from spiritual interests toward the more mundane. The rationalism of French and English freethinkers led to the common-sense philosophy in America which questioned everything from the Diety to the devil. Deism, a logical outgrowth of rationalism, became prominent in America during its early history. Troubled and perhaps threatened by the apparent degeneration of religion and mounting secularization of American life, certain individuals believed it their duty to reform society by reshaping America in "heavenly form." These reformers were convinced that they had an obligation to save their fellow man because they saw themselves as the guardians of mankind and the stewards of society. They attempted to bring America into the heavenly fold by elimi- nating beliefs and practices which they considered immoral and corrupt.

It can also be spread by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. This guidance document addresses the procedures sports organizations and teams must follow to limit the spread of COVID-19 to the extent they are permitted to conduct in-person operations. This guidance is preliminary and will be updated as more public health data and other information is available.

However, when Pennsylvanians turned to sport on the Sabbath, they were confronted by the state's archaicblue law of 1794 which prohibited all ports and diversions on Sundays%. In 1926, the Philadelphia Ath'etics baseball team tested the statute byscheduling . a Sunday contest with the ChicagoWhite Sox. The game was played without incident, but Sabbatarians protested and broughtthis'issue before the court In 1921 the Pennsylvania Supre e Court concurring with Sabbatarian harges, ordered the Athletics not to schedule any more Sunday games under penalty offorfeiting its charter of incorporation. It was not until 1933, after several battlesin the Pennsylvania legislature, that the Sunday lobby,generated enough votes to modify the 1794 statute.

CURTIS MINER B.A., INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, 1984 M.A., UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH, 1989 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2006 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by W. Curtis Miner It was defended on 11/20/2006 and approved by Kathleen M. Blee, Professor, Department of Sociology Laurence Glasco, Associate Professor, Department of History Van Beck Hall, Associate Professor, Department of History Dissertation Advisor: Edward K. Muller, Professor, Department of History ii Copyright © by W. Curtis Miner 2006 iii Level Playing Fields: The Democratization of Amateur Sport in Pennsylvania W. Curtis Miner, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2006 This dissertation examines how amateur sports once dominated and controlled by Pennsylvania’s Leisure Class became accessible to non-elites over the course of the twentieth century. Rising standards of living and increased leisure time were pre-requisites for broader public participation. But this study argues that the democratization of amateur sport depended on the active intervention of the state and, to a lesser extent, the market, both of which broadened access to privately controlled playing fields. In hunting, state game management restored wild game populations, thus ensuring a bountiful supply of game for all Pennsylvanians, irrespective of social class. Likewise, the first municipally owned golf courses, often situated in public parks, offered the only alternative to the private courses which up to that point dominated the game and regulated participation.

  • 1 in the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT for the EASTERN DISTRICT of PENNSYLVANIA NOREEN P. KEMETHER : CIVIL ACTION : V. : : PENNSY
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA NOREEN P. KEMETHER : CIVIL ACTION : v. : : PENNSYLVANIA INTERSCHOLASTIC : NO. 96-6986 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION, INC. : MEMORANDUM AND ORDER Re: Post Trial Motions YOHN, J. November , 1999 Plaintiff Noreen Kemether brought this action under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and the Pennsylvania Equal Rights Amendment (“ERA”) alleging that the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, Inc. (“PIAA”) discriminated against her based on her gender by refusing to give her the opportunity to officiate high school boys’ interscholastic basketball games. After trial from December 7 to December 18, 1998, the jury returned a verdict against the defendant on all counts and awarded damages in the amount of $314,000. Presently before the court are defendant’s post-trial motions for judgment as a matter of law under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 50(b) or, in the alternative, for a new trial under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59. Because defendant failed to move for judgment as a matter of law at the close of all of the evidence as required under Rule 50, and thereby failed to preserve its right to renew the motion post-trial , I will deny defendant’s motion for judgment as a matter of law. Furthermore, as the verdict is not against the great weight of the evidence, I also will deny defendant’s motion for a new trial. 1 I. BACKGROUND After a jury verdict, the court cannot substitute its view of the evidence for that of the jury; accordingly, all evidence and inferences therefrom must be taken in the light most favorable to the verdict winner.
