The third free guided bird walk is this Saturday, April 15. Participants will meet at the Hills Creek State Park office at 111 Spillway Road, Wellsboro, Pa. 16901-9676 a little before 8 a.m. and drive to the nearby starting location promptly at 8 a.m.
Fourteen people went on the second free guided Saturday Morning Bird Walk on April 8 at Hills Creek State Park located on Hills Creek Road in Charleston Township, about seven miles northeast of Wellsboro. “I was surprised by the number of people who went,” said Sean Minnick, a Tiadaghton Audubon Society member who is leading the April walks. “It was cold and sunny.”
Eight of the 14 were Tiadaghton Audubon Society members. “Bob Edkin of the Bureau of State Parks went with us and so did five other adults from the public.
“We did not see the red headed ducks this time but did see or hear 33 types of birds, including a horned grebe, which was migrating through, heading to its breeding grounds.”
The other walks will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturdays, April 22 and 29 and May 6, 13, 20 and 27. They are all free and open to the public. Registration is NOT required.

The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) in collaboration with the Pennsylvania National Guard and American Legion are seeking applicants for its annual youth camp. The “Elmer Hafer-American Legion-State Police-National Guard Youth Camp” will be held June 11-17, 2023, at Messiah University in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County.
The six-day summer leadership camp is designed for teenagers, ages 15 to 17, interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement or the military. The camp, established in 1970 and formerly known as State Police Youth Week, works to improve the relationship between Pennsylvania’s youth and the law enforcement community. This year’s camp will mark the 51st camp held since its inception.
“I encourage young Pennsylvanians interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement or the military to take advantage of this unique, no-cost opportunity,” said PSP Colonel Christopher Paris. “Attendees will make memories that will last a lifetime and get a feel for what career of service would be like.”
The week-long camp is staffed by members of the PSP, the Pennsylvania Army National Guard and the American Legion. During the camp, cadets work on team-building exercises, physical fitness training, classroom activities involving police and military careers and a marksmanship course. Cadets will also visit the PSP Academy in Hershey and Fort Indiantown Gap National Guard Training Center in Lebanon County. In addition, the camp offers three $1,000 scholarship awards at the conclusion of the week.
Anyone interested in applying for the camp must be between the ages of 15 and 17 prior to entering the camp and not reach the age of 18 during the camp. Cadets who have previously attended the camp are not eligible to apply again. Applicants are expected to have a good academic record, be physically fit and be in good health. Participants attend the camp at no cost, as their local American Legion post sponsors their attendance. Interested applicants can read more about the camp by visiting pa-legion.com. The application can be found by visiting the legion’s application page.
Furthermore, regional camp cadet programs are also hosted by state police personnel. The week-long camp cadet programs are for Pennsylvanians ages 11-15. To inquire about the availability of a camp cadet near you, contact your local troop community services officer.
Lee Anne Deming, 53, of Turtle Point, formerly of Covington, entered into glory on April 10, 2023. Lee Anne was born on December 30, 1969 to Karen and Andy Deming in Blossburg.
She was the first girl born into the Deming family in 90 years. She had a carefree spirit, she adored her children and grandchildren. She had a special bond with her nieces and nephews and they lived for her stories and laughter. Oh, the stories that she would tell, she had wit that was unmatched.
She was employed by Jackson Amusements after graduating high school and later worked at the foundry while raising her two children.
She was selfless and though she suffered physically from debilitating rheumatoid arthritis and MS, she would make the best of everyday. She was very artistic and loved to paint, make crafts, draw and color.
She kept an immaculate house which she shared with the love of her life, Mark Sherman. She disliked being in the kitchen and would joke that Mark domesticated her.
She was such a light and blessing to all who knew her. Lee Anne accepted Christ as her savior and her hope was that her family and friends would do the same.
She was proceeded in death by her beloved mother, Karen Lindquist Deming. She is survived by her children; Nicholas Deming and Lindsey Deming, her beloved soul mate, Mark Sherman, grandchildren; Kaleb, Gabby, Owen, Hope and Mason, father, Andrew Deming, brother Brett Deming, sister, Kelly (David) Dewberry, an aunt, Susan Mozingo, nieces; Ellen (Scott) Samber, Stevie (Joel) Gregory, nephews; Brandon Deming and Grayson Dewberry, many cousins and close friends, Allison Wivell, Katie Fairchild, Brooke Guariglia and Sue Fisk, and adopted into the family, Ely and Mya Warriner. We will miss her beautiful face, her smile, her laughter and sense of humor.

“All of the characters in the play are cats of various ages and sizes, each with a definitely unique personality,” he said.
“This adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s award-winning hit musical is specially tailored to give our fourth through tenth grade cast members an exciting and rewarding experience,” said Putnam.
“The campers have been working hard and will demonstrate the skills they’ve learned, from choreography to how to project their voices when speaking and singing and how to create a character, including making their own costumes,” he said.
Taylor Nickerson and Heather Galbraith choreographed the show. Assisting with the camp are Tara Gordon and Jenna Gordon.

Montoursville, PA – Motorists are advised that a bridge replacement project is set to begin next week on Route 4031 (Coryland Road) in Wells Township, Bradford County. The bridge, which is located north of the intersection with Route 4038 (Baker Road) between Coryland and Mosherville, carries Coryland Road over an unnamed tributary to Beckwith Creek.
On Monday, April 17, 2023, Coryland Road will be closed between Baker Road and Thunder Road, while a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) bridge crew prepares to remove the existing structure, which will be replaced with a new concrete box culvert. Additional work on the project includes roadway approach work, paving, line painting, and miscellaneous work.
A detour using Baker Road, Route 4039 (Judson Hill Road), and Route 549 will be in place for the duration of the project.
The project is expected to be completed in July of 2023, weather permitting.
Coudersport, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) will begin a bridge replacement project on Route 1011 (Hickox/Ulysses Road) in Bingham Township, Potter County on Monday, April 17. Built in 1941, the bridge spans the Genesee River near the village of Ulysses. This structure is 45 feet long and carries an average of more the 600 vehicles daily. Replacing the bridge will improve the structure’s rating from “poor” to “good.”
On Monday, the section of Route 1011 near the bridge will be closed and a detour will be in place. The detour will direct traffic to use Route 1012 (Jackson Road), Route 49, and Route 1011.
Overall work includes the removal of the existing bridge, construction of a new single-span concrete bridge, paving, pavement base drains, guide rail updates, pavement markings, and miscellaneous items.
Nestlerode Contracting Company, Inc. of Lock Haven is the contractor on this $1 million project. PennDOT anticipates completion in early September, but all work is weather dependent. PennDOT will issue project updates as work progresses.
