TOP STORIES: WOLF'S FIRST YEAR HARRISBURG — It now seems predictable that Democrat Tom Wolf's first year as Pennsylvania governor would be consumed by a knock-down, drag-out budget fight with the Legislature. Pennsylvania governors historically have had difficult first years and Wolf, the scion of a business family, had run as a liberal, soundly defeating an unpopular incumbent to win the right to share power with the largest and perhaps most conservative Republican legislative majorities in modern Pennsylvania history.

EXCHANGE: EXCHANGE-POLICING GEESE PITTSBURGH — Mick settles low into the crisp snow near Richland, his eyes locked on about 10 runner ducks huddled in the afternoon wind. On command, the stalker chases the fowl into a fluttering blur, lagging just enough to keep from plowing them over. For Mick, a 6-year-old herding dog, this is practice. His real work picks up with the warmer weather, when he takes his game face to the Canada geese multiplying across some urban and suburban swaths of southwestern Pennsylvania. It doesn't take a kill to move along the protected birds, including 200,000 to 250,000 that stay in Pennsylvania year-round, officials say. Often, it takes just a few spirited visits from a well-controlled dog. "The birds aren't in any harm at all, but it's a mind game," said Brandon Bowen, owner of the West Deer-based Geese Police of Western Pennsylvania. "If (the geese) don't feel safe on a particular piece of property, then they don't want to stay there." Adam Smeltz, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
