While the sight of a frozen river or stream may look pretty, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) is warning everyone to stay off of moving bodies of water that have frozen this winter. Along the Susquehanna RIver near Harrisburg today, the PFBC said when a thick crust of ice forms on rivers statewide, the phenomenon attracts curious onlookers wishing to see the ice up close, and there is a temptation to walk out onto the ice.

Tionesta, Pa.: The Army Corps of Engineers at Tionesta Lake and Volunteers for the Ruffed Grouse Society plan the renewal of alder for wildlife this March. Woodcock, ruffed grouse, warblers, rabbits, mice, voles, bobcats, and fox all use the habitat created by an alder thicket. As alder grows and gets too old, it starts to ‘lay down’ and roots will decay. But, a simple and proven wildlife habitat management technique of stump cutting will remove the older stems and put abundant sunlight back on the ground and cut stump, and cause the alder to put up abundant new growth. This new growth will provide habitat for many birds and small mammals over the next thirty years after the stump cutting.

Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter) issued the following statement in response to Gov. Josh Shapiro’s proposed $53.26 billion state budget proposal outlined Tuesday before a joint session of the General Assembly:
“Once again, the governor has proposed spending more than we have. After draining the surplus to cover the current year’s budget, he is now seeking to use more than half of our state’s emergency savings by taking $4.58 billion from the Rainy Day Fund to help pay for his plan. He is also relying on legalizing recreational marijuana and taxing skill games to make his budget balance.
“These proposals have been non-starters in the General Assembly, and the Rainy Day Fund will quickly run dry at this rate of spending. It’s time for a different approach.
Congratulations to Aliza Penick, a senior from Port Allegany School District, on being named Student of the Week in the Culinary Arts Department at Seneca Highlands Career and Technical Center.

Her leadership and reliability make her a valued member of the program.
