NEWS BULLETIN

Police searching for bail violator

This morning (July 2), Pennsylvania State Police-Lykens announced that troopers are seeking the whereabouts of Ammon E. Peachey, no age or address reported.

Peachey was charged June 26 with three felony offenses relating to inappropriate contact with minors. He has since violated his bail conditions, and a warrant for his arrest has been issued, police said.

Peachey is known to frequent areas in both Dauphin and Lancaster counties. He also is known to drive a blue Toyota Prius, PA Registration LLL1894. A headshot of Peachey accompanies this post.

Anyone with information is asked to call PSP-Lykens at 717-362-8700.

According to police, Peachey is accused of inappropriately touching three girls on several occasions between October 2011 and June 2016. He was taken into custody June 26 and arraigned on three counts of each of the following felonies: indecent assault; corruption of minors; and unlawful contact with a minor. He was released after posting $25,000 bail.

NEWS UPDATE

Some of fort’s footprint believed found

Almost two weeks of archeological research in Fort Halifax Park may have confirmed some of the fort’s original footprint, it was announced today (June 25).

Evidence uncovered during the ‘‘dig’’ points to what appears to be the fort’s southeast segment, according to Dr. Jonathan Burns of the Juniata College Cultural Research Institute, who is overseeing the expedition.

‘‘We believe we are standing inside the original fort,’’ Burns told assembled news media Friday as work continued in the field north of the park’s barn and outbuildings.

The findings are seen as significant toward the possible future discovery of the fort’s foundation and walls, as well as the other parts of the inside floor.

More information will be published in the Sentinel’s Jun 29 issue, along with a feature story in July.

Orange and Black is the New Gold Video By Rosie Schiano

SPORTS BULLETIN Orange and Black is the New Gold: Trojans earn state 2A softball trophy The Upper Dauphin Area softball team defeated Mohawk 2-1 earlier today (June 15) for its first-ever state championship in the sport after two previous tries (2007 and 2008). The game was played at Beard Field on the campus of Pennsylvania State University. Full coverage – as well as coverage of Williams Valley’s runner-up finish in Class 1A – will be published in the Sentinel’s June 19 print edition. It was the first time in Sentinel-area history that two local teams qualified for the PIAA championship in the same season and the same sport. As of this posting, UDA and Lampeter-Strasburg were the only District 3 teams to win state titles in either baseball or softball. Hempfield and Lancaster Catholic were still scheduled to play at this time. Regardless of outcome, UDA will be the only Dauphin County high school sports team to win at states this spring.
