We are back. February 19th the County Line 4-H had a meeting at Redmonds Eco Valley Farm. Our guest was Dr. Amanda. She took the time out of her busy day to come and help us. She showed us how to burn kids (baby goats) horns and give them pain meds. We learned the reason why some people prefer to have goats without horns. Then we went to ultrasound a gilt (young female pig).  To much of our surprise Coffee Bean was bred. The boar ADD did his job. Then we got to work with more lambs (baby sheep). We had the opportunity to put ear tags, dock tails and band testicles. We saw how much the baby pigs grew from the last time they were here. Of course I see them everyday. We got to see Toco Snow twin kids. She is one of my goat’s that survived the fire. We then ate snacks and jumped on the trampoline. It was a good time.

Here is a picture of all of us.

Last week, NACD welcomed nearly a thousand conservation professionals to the 2023 Annual Meeting in New Orleans, LA. Hosted in partnership with the Louisiana Association of Conservation Districts, the meeting explored the theme “Local Resiliency, National Community.”

On February 14, 2023, the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) administered oaths of office to its new Officers and Executive Board members. Cliff Lane took the oath of office as the North East Region Representative.  In this new role, he will be representing Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.  Cliff is also the McKean County Conservation District’s Commissioner Director, Secretary/Treasurer, and PACD’s  North West Region Director.

The National Association of Conservation Districts is the nonprofit organization that represents the nearly 3,000 conservation districts across the United States, their state and territory associations, and the 17,000 individuals who serve on their governing boards. For more than 75 years, local conservation districts have worked with cooperating landowners and managers of private working lands to help them plan and apply effective conservation practices.

Dana Spittler, 58, was born in Bradford Pennsylvania, and grew up in limestone New York until 1983 when he moved to Smethport Pennsylvania where he has resided for the past 40 years. During his youth he was active in the 4H and helped take care of his family’s farm. He was involved in many extracurricular activities throughout his childhood, and now in his adulthood he is involved in, and volunteers for, many of our community programs.

Dana has been happily married for 32 years this October. His wife, Teri, is the manager of the Smethport Veterans of Foreign Wars Club Post 2497. He and Teri have always had an open-door policy for the children in our community, many of which they consider their own family. They have donated, coached, and volunteered time and resources for many sports and academic programs in our area. Together they have had two remarkably successful children. Marcus is a heavy equipment operator that travels all over the United States working on major pipelines. Lynn is a Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy, a rank she attained after just 8 years of service. They are immensely proud of their children and the community they raised them in.

Dana has been a volunteer firefighter for over 30 years. He currently belongs to the Smethport Volunteer Fire Department, is an Emergency Medical Responder, certified interior firefighter, and CPR/AED/First Aid instructor. During the time he has served in this department he has held the positions of Assistant Fire Chief and President of the department. He is the founder of, and currently serving as the Co-Chairman of the Essential Emergency Services Training Program that oversees the Homeland Security program at the Career and Technical Center in Port Allegany. This program allows our children to graduate high school certified or prepared to be certified as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT’s) and Firefighters. For 9 previous successful years he operated his own office for AFLAC, during which time he climbed the ladder form sales associate to the Regional Sales Coordinator position where he had approximately 60 representatives under his direction who reported to him daily. He is currently employed by Duffy, Inc where he is head of scheduling for the company.

Dana’s focus as McKean County Commissioner is our crisis in Emergency Services. He believes with his background in EMS along with his experience in business he will be able to help find a solution to the many problems we face in our local Emergency Services. He will also be focusing on Promoting volunteer efforts in local communities and getting better education and resources for our youth concerning the drug pandemic that is devastating our county.
