Deer hunters: Send us your photos
Deer season has officially begun in Pennsylvania and runs through Dec. 8.
According to reports, the first few days of the season were quite fruitful for some, not so much for others. Hopefully, all local hunters will enjoy success.
With that in mind, The Ephrata Review is inviting hunters to send in your photos of your successful hunts.
Please email the photos as well as information (name of hunter, town of residence, age and where the deer was harvested) to truth.eph@lnpnews.com.
Good luck!

Headland cruises to win in Eye of the Tiger 5K First-year race draws 500, benefits Naumanns
By: BRUCE MORGAN & TODD RUTH Review Staff, Staff Writer
Phil Headland didn’t sound like someone who was overly thrilled with his final time in the first annual Eye of the Tiger 5K race on Thanksgiving morning in Denver.
The results, though, could not have been any better.
Having built a 30-second lead on his next closest competitor, the 2012 Warwick High School grad easily ran away with top honors, crossing the finish line in 18:22. Peter Clark, 33, took home the runner-up spot in 18:52, followed closely by Darrell Rosenberger in 18:57.
The women’s winner wasn’t pushed either, as Steph Grimm, who placed sixth overall, opened up an an advantage of nearly two minutes on her way to winning the title in 19:34. Jess Gockley was second among the women’s runners in a time of 21:03.
It was Headland, however, who set the early pace and never looked back.
"I was OK with (my time)," said the 18-year-old Headland, whose fastest 8K time this fall with the Falcons’ cross country team was 28:23.52. "The first mile I took it out real hard and then just kinda looked around and saw there was no one with me, so I just kinda cruised it in from there."
