The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford has been awarded $2 million in state funding for renovation of the Hanley Library, Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter) and Sen. Cris Dush (R-25) announced today.

“We are fortunate to have such a great educational institution right here in McKean County to serve not only our students but also students from around the country and around the world,” Causer said. “I am pleased to support the university in its efforts to continue to improve and expand to meet the needs of our students, including through the renovation of the library.”

Steve Appleby, a fixture at the Eldred World War II Museum for more than 15 years, recently retired as the museum’s curator and was recognized for his service with a state House citation presented by Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter). Appleby joined the museum staff in 2008, having previously served as a volunteer. He did everything from outdoor maintenance and landscaping to cleaning and fundraising and then served as executive director and promotions director. He retired earlier this year as curator, but he will continue to support the museum in a volunteer role as both curator emeritus and director of education and programs. Appleby is also a long-time member of the armed services, having joined the U.S. Army in 1979 and later transferring to the Pennsylvania Army National Guard from which he was honorably discharged in 2006.

In Pennsylvania’s fight against Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), deer hunters are the first line of defense.

And in Armstrong and York counties, where new Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) units have been established in response to new CWD detections, hunters can purchase additional tags to hunt and harvest antlerless deer. By filling those tags, hunters can help the Game Commission learn more about CWD impacts in these areas.

Game Commission Executive Director Steve Smith encouraged hunters to take advantage of these additional opportunities, and thanked them for their valuable assistance.

October 2024 in the Galeton area was a dry and a beautiful Fall month. It was a historically dry month for much of the country, especially in the mid Atlantic region. Philadelphia and other places in southeast Pennsylvania had no measurable rainfall for the month.  Morning readings were in the 40’s and 20s with frosts on 11 mornings, It did warm up nicely in the afternoons with readings in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. 

The Fall foliage was not as colorful this year however the oaks, a few hard maples and beech trees did finally look colorful.

This year we received 1.50″ of rainfall and last year the reading was 2.05″.  We heard thunder for 2 days and we had 10 foggy mornings.
 

November is about to arrive. It will get cooler and perhaps we will see our first measurable snowfall.  We usually do. Then of course we can put away the mowers and get the plows and shovels out. I am putting the snow measuring board out for the winter months.  Happy Thanksgiving.
