A short distance later, DUNCAN had fled the vehicle and hid in a shed on Bayard Street. He was taken into custody by the Agents. Charges are pending.
A Kane man is charged with being the driver of that vehicle and attempting to flee. James BAILEY, Jr., Kane, is charged by amendment filed on this date with Fleeing or Attempting to Elude Police Officer (Felony 3); Evading Arrest or Detention on Foot (Misdemeanor 2); and Reckless Driving (summary). Magisterial District Judge David Engman set bail at $10,000. Central Court was scheduled for June 1 at the McKean County Courthouse.
Agents also charged Morgan STUART, Kane, with 2 counts of Delivery of a Controlled Substance (Felony); 2 counts Conspiracy to Deliver a Controlled Substance (Felony); 2 counts Criminal Use of a Communication Facility (Felony 3); and 2 counts Possession of a Controlled Substance (Misdemeanor). Magisterial District Judge David Engman arraigned Stuart and set bail at $100,000. Central Court was scheduled for June 1 at the McKean County Courthouse.
DA Shaffer thanked the officers from the numerous departments for apprehending a felony fugitive and making the additional arrests noting that the apprehension and arrests were the result of a long investigation and excellent police work and collaboration.

The. Ruffed Grouse Society is proud to announce that they will offer their popular Women’s Introduction to Wingshooting Program at the Mt Jewett Sportsmen’s Club on July 15-16 and August 19-20. Women’s Introduction to Wingshooting is a course for women and taught by women. On both Saturdays, the course starts at noon and ends at 4:00 p.m. On both Sundays, the course starts at 10:00 a.m. and ends at 2:00 p.m.
Register by contacting wlhab9@gmail.com. Lodging is available, if needed, but is limited.
A hunt will be offered to the graduates on Sunday, September 10, at a nearby sportsmen’s club.
No pre-knowledge of shooting is required. “We pride ourselves on helping a woman who has never even held a shotgun before learn how to become a wingshooter,” says Sue McClelland of Smethport, one of the instructors. “And owning a shotgun is not necessary; we have shotguns that the attendees can try for size and then use during the program. When you finish this training you can go on and shoot at targets for fun or hunt your choice of birds.”
You must register to attend this course, and it is on a first-come, first serve registration basis. “We only take twenty women into the program each year so we can maintain the quality”, offers Taylor Holt of Kane, another instructor.
WEST CREEK RECREATIONAL TRAIL ASSOCIATION
At a brief ceremony recently, members of the Board of Directors of the West Creek Recreational Trail Association installed a directional map at the St. Marys trail head on West Creek Road. The map was designed by Mickayla Poland from PA Made, of St. Marys, and provides location and mileage information to help visitors to the Trail plan their trail experience. A similar map will also be installed at the trail head in Emporium. Mickayla also designed and produced leaflet maps that describe the trail and offer suggestions on its use. The leaflets will be available at tourist information locations around the area. The map project was supported by a grant from the Elk County Commissioners through the Elk County Community Foundation. The photo shows members of the Board of Directors of the Trail Association, Roger Young, Jesse Cunningham, Jude Weis, Tom Wagner and Bob Kirschner, with Mickayla Poland, owner of PA Made. Directors not present were Cliff Clark, Dave Greene, Jeff Ream and Tina Johns Solak
After the ceremony, the Board also viewed the newly-installed bridge across West Creek. The bridge will improve access to the trail parking lot and help to alleviate flooding issues for neighboring properties. The bridge was designed by J Ream Engineering Consultants of Emporium and funded through grants from the Elk County Community Foundation, the Elk County Commissioners, Seneca Resources and the George A. and Margaret Mee Foundation. It was installed by Northpoint Contracting of Emporium.
The West Creek Trail is a publicly funded multi-use trail. It is open to the public for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter season and walking, hiking and bicycling during all seasons. More information is on the West Creek Trail Facebook page.
Meet Remote Workers
A committee operating under the direction of the Cameron County Chamber of Commerce had the task of sifting through 41 applications for the PA Wilds Remote Working project. “The committee focused on those ready to relocate and seeking the opportunity to leave big box stores and strip malls behind,” says chamber director Tina Solak.

Two are single, two have significant others, and two have children. Their remote jobs range from engineering to self-employed. They are coming from Massachusetts, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Carlisle areas.
Over the next three weeks, we will introduce you to those arriving in July.

A Great Day in Kane!  Last week, I had the opportunity to read to preschoolers at the Kids Learning Center and discuss the importance of early childhood education. I took a look at the proposed location for a children’s museum and toured the new Six and Kane building. Thank you to Mayor Brandy Schimp for taking me around town. It’s great to see continued growth and development in this community! I’m pictured here with Kane Mayor Brandy Schimp; Kate Kennedy, executive director of the Kane Area Development Center; and Jill Grosch, Kane district office manager.Advocating for PA’s Energy Industry  Advancing our Commonwealth’s energy industry is key to a thriving economy. Unfortunately, that growth is being threatened by misguided policies advanced by House Democrats who are now in the majority in the state House. Earlier this week, on a party line vote, the House Environmental Resources and Energy (ERE) Committee approved a bill that will significantly drive up costs for our conventional oil and gas producers by increasing the cost of well bonding. The bill is based on the false narrative that today’s drillers are abandoning thousands of wells every year and the increased bonding is needed to plug those wells. The reality is the vast majority of wells that are in need of plugging are orphan wells that date back decades or even a century ago and there is no identifiable responsible party. That’s why we passed a law last year to increase funding for plugging those wells, but the Department of Environmental Protection continues to drag its feet on implementing the grant program. The bill now goes to the full House for consideration. As Republican chairman of the ERE Committee and advocate for our local conventional oil and gas producers, I will continue pushing back on these damaging policies. Fighting for a Fiscally Responsible Budget  With the June 30 budget deadline just around the corner, House Democrats started the process of advancing Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro’s $45.8 billion proposal that increases spending by $2.5 billion, or 6%, over the current year.Especially given the rising inflation and economic uncertainty we are all facing, it is irresponsible to support a budget that eviscerates an anticipated $7.9 billion budget surplus over the next three years and the $5 billion Rainy Day Fund over the next five years. This budget does nothing to prepare the Commonwealth for the turbulent economic climate many economists are predicting. Given the demographic challenges we face in balancing the Commonwealth’s budget with significant growth in the elderly population and contraction in the working-age population, this is not the time to expand government and introduce new spending initiatives. As part of our Keystone Commitment to the Commonwealth, we are working toward policies that will promote a thriving economy and affordable living for all Pennsylvanians. This budget would move us in the WRONG direction. Learn more about the Keystone Commitment here.
