Bradford, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is reminding area motorists that a McKean County bridge replacement project that began in mid-May will bring a 2-week detour soon. The bridge spans Mix Creek on Route 1011 (Barnum Road) in Eldred Township, just south of the New York border.
On Tuesday, June 6, the section of Route 1011 near the bridge will be closed as bridge demolition and replacement begins. This two-week detour will be in place from June 6 through June 23. The Route 1011/Barnum Rd/Cattaraugus County 29 closure will detour traffic using Route 346, Route 546, Township Road 45, and NY State Route 16. Although Route 29 will be closed north of the bridge, those living along Route 29 will be able to reach their homes.
Project work includes the removal of the existing single-span bridge and the construction of its replacement, a concrete box culvert. In addition, there will be some roadway reconstruction, pavement base drains, guide rail updates, pavement markings, and other miscellaneous items.
The L.C. Whitford Company, Inc. of Wellsville, New York is the contractor on this $994,0000 project. Replacing the bridge, which carries an average of 1,826 vehicles daily, will improve its rating from “poor” to “good.”
PennDOT anticipates completion in late June, but all work is weather dependent. PennDOT will issue project updates as work progresses.
The Potter County ATV/UTV Club (PC ATV/UTV) will host a First Public Meeting on June 15, 2023 starting at 6 pm at The Gunzburger Office Building, 1 N. Main St., Suite 202 Coudersport PA 16915. Enter through door C.
The meeting is being hosted by PC ATV/UTV in the interest of presenting and discussing the potential to develop a recreation trail system throughout Potter County.
The trail system study area is county wide with focus on potential off-road trails, community connector trails and promoting regional economic development through tourism and outdoor recreation.
Potter County ATV/UTV staff and Laird LA staff will provide an overview presentation of the concept with trail maps and destinations, then entertain comments, questions and concerns offered by attendees.
The Potter County ATV Plan is being funded by a grant from the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources through its All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Management Restricted Account, which is part of the Community Conservation and Partnerships Program. This project does not utilize taxpayer money, but rather funds generated through ATV Registrations.
All community residents, regional citizens and municipal leaders are encouraged to attend to discuss opportunities, concerns and potential economic development that this multi-season trail is anticipated to bring to the region. If for some reason you can not attend in person, please reach out to Brad Smith, Potter County ATV/UTV or Jim Laird at pc.atvutv@gmail.com , jim@lairdla.com A virtual ink will also be available by request.

Regional ATV Connector Pilot Opens For 2023 Season with New Routes  The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) announced last week the opening of the ATV Regional Trail Connector Pilot for the 2023 riding season, which continues through Sept. 24. The 2023 pilot includes more than 400 miles of township roads, 163 miles of state forest roads and trails, and 33 miles of PennDOT-administered roads. New connections for this year’s pilot include: • Cross Fork to Whiskey Springs ATV Trail. • Cross Fork to North Bend. • Black Forest to Haneyville. A printable version of the trail map is available here. Permits are required and available for in-person sales at Sproul, Susquehannock, Tiadaghton, or Tioga state forest district offices. District office hours are subject to change throughout the riding season. Please check online or call for office hours. This year’s ATV Regional Trail Connector Program is the last season for the program to exist in its pilot phase. DCNR is evaluating the effectiveness of the special permit; the adequacy of funding for continued operation of the trail; and the need for additional education, outreach and trail marketing. DCNR is gathering public input on the pilot through a variety of methods, including webinars, surveys, comment cards, public meetings, and advisory committees. To comment on the ATV Regional Trail Connector Pilot, please send an email to: RA-NR-ATV-Pilot@pa.gov. Visit DCNR’s website for more information about ATV riding opportunities in state forests. Support for Emergency Responders Key to Public Safety  The challenges faced by emergency first responder organizations in Pennsylvania and possible legislative solutions to address them were the focus of a House Republican Policy Committee hearing this week in Lehigh County. Ensuring safe communities is a cornerstone of the Keystone Commitment lawmakers have made to Pennsylvanians, and that goal cannot be met without proper support of our fire and emergency medical services providers. First responders are in a crisis situation across the Commonwealth in terms of the resources they receive to do the job, the lack of manpower and the costs associated with providing their services. Many of the concerns raised mirror what we heard at our EMS Town Meeting last month. We must do more to support our first responders so they can be there to support us when we are in need. Caring for Our Senior Citizens  Working to ensure our senior citizens and the people who love and care for them are properly supported, the Pennsylvania Department of Aging has launched an effort to create a 10-year Master Plan for Older Adults. The stakeholder-driven plan aims to help transform the infrastructure and coordination of services for older Pennsylvanians, reflecting their needs and preferences to live where they choose and access to the supports they need to thrive and age in place. Pennsylvania is ranked fifth among the 50 states in the size of our older adult population (3.4 million) and seventh by percentage (17.8%) of the total population. Our total older adult population percentage grew from 15.4% (1.96 million persons) in 2010 to 17.8% (2.27 million persons) in 2020. All Pennsylvanians are invited to provide input into development of the plan by mail, email or a digital form. Regional events are also planned in Philadelphia and Altoona. Learn more about how to participate here. PGC: Leave Young Wildlife Alone  Whether in their backyards or high on a mountain, it’s almost certain Pennsylvanians will encounter young wildlife this time of year. While some young animals might appear to be abandoned, it is likely their mothers are watching over them from somewhere nearby. That’s why the Pennsylvania Game Commission is urging people who encounter young wildlife, including deer, birds, raccoons or other animals, to simply leave them alone. Contact can be harmful to both people and wildlife. Wild animals can lose their natural fear of humans, making it difficult, even impossible, for them to ever again live normally in the wild. And anytime wildlife is handled, there’s always a risk people could contract diseases or parasites such as fleas, ticks and lice. Only wildlife rehabilitators, who are licensed by the PA Game Commission, are permitted to care for injured or orphaned wildlife for the purposes of eventual release back into the wild. For those who find wildlife truly in need of assistance, a listing of licensed wildlife rehabilitators can be found on the Pennsylvania Association of Wildlife Rehabilitators website, www.pawr.com. If you are unable to identify a wildlife rehabilitator in your area, contact the Game Commission by phone at 1-833-PGC-WILD or 1-833-PGC-HUNT. Update on Farmers Market Nutrition Program Vouchers  Each year, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture operates its Farmers Market Nutrition Program for low-income seniors and Women, Infants and Children (WIC) recipients. The program provides vouchers that can be redeemed at local farmers markets and farm stands for fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables and herbs. While the vouchers are typically made available at the beginning of June, computer programming and printing delays mean the vouchers may not be available until the end of June. More information about the program and eligibility is available here. Remembering D-Day  June 6 marks the 79th anniversary of the Normandy landings during World War II, otherwise recognized as D-Day. D-Day marked the beginning of the final push across Europe to defeat Axis forces during World War II, with more than 9,000 Allied soldiers killed or wounded in that battle alone. For a full history on D-Day, click here. I wish to extend a special heartfelt thank you to the men and women who served that day, and our gratitude to those who did not come home. Your legacy is not forgotten. |
With a little time yet to go in the 2022-23 surveillance year, the Game Commission has already detected Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in more deer this year than the one before, once again highlighting the threat the disease poses to Pennsylvania’s deer and elk, and hunting heritage.
CWD is an always-fatal neurological disease affecting cervids, including deer and elk. There is no vaccine and no cure for animals that get it.
Since July 1, 2022, the Game Commission collected nearly 11,000 CWD samples from deer. Hunter-harvested samples made up the bulk of those, with more than 7,000.
The public can view the results of this ongoing surveillance effort on the CWD Surveillance Dashboard available at https://pgcdatacollection.pa.gov/CWDResultsLookup. It’s updated weekly and allows the public to view past and current information related to CWD and gives hunters who submitted their deer for testing access to results online.
In case you are wondering why you couldn’t access Solomon’s words for a while this morning, they tell us it was due to updating to a new server big enough to handle the large amount of traffic to our website. Sorry for the inconvenience. We couldn’t get on either.

What Was I Thinking?
By
B.J. Knefley
What was I thinking? Have you ever uttered those words or thought them? Probably we all have one time or another. Why is that? Why do we open our mouths and say things that we later regret? Do we not think it through? Do we think everyone wants to hear our opinions? Unfortunately, we seem to have many today that believe it’s their God given right to speak what they think regardless of how it might sound or affect others. To do so they will shout louder and do whatever they can to intimate the person whose opinions they disagree with. Their position isn’t about what they were thinking it’s about what the other person was thinking and it’s always about getting the other person to back down.
Sadly, we all can go off on a subject that we think we know everything about and miss some crucial issues. I call it one-sided thinking. It’s not a new thing as it’s been around forever. Rather than being informed we become misinformed and expound on that misinformation in such a way that it becomes our reality. Afterall if I believe it to be true then it must be. Right?
Over the years I’ve learned to ask questions, to look at a subject from every angle. One-sided thinking becomes a one-sided view. When we get to this point, we can’t see anything else. It’s at this point that we become dangerous. Dangerous in the sense that we’ve closed ourselves off to other ideas and/or options. It’s not so much that we can’t, but that we won’t. We do it with politics, human rights, religion, and every other subject you can imagine. Rather than becoming thinkers we become closed minded to the thoughts of others.
I like that God calls us to reason and to think things through with him, (Isaiah 1:18). He doesn’t shut us down but invites us into a dialog. Would it be nice if we all practiced this with others? Perhaps we’d learn how to agree and disagree together. Think about it.

MOTION TO ADJOURN MEETING
At 2303 Monday night City Fire was dispatched to 87 Pleasant St. for a structure fire. First arriving units were on scene within 4 minutes and found two structures on Pleasant St fully involved with exposure structures on Pearl St. heavily involved with fire in the rear in the structures. A second alarm was immediately struck at 2307 bringing in all of duty city firefighters and BTVFD.
Before additional manpower and equipment could arrive on scene a 3rd alarm was struck bringing in more firefighters and equipment. Before the last flame was extinguished the fire would go into 5 alarms.
Aggressive interior attacks extinguished any fire in the 3 houses on Pearl St. Crews rotated in and out in an effort to limit the fire spread and to save the remaining houses adjacent to the main fire buildings. Firefighters were initially met with heavy fire as the blaze had a good head start before first due companies arrived. Thankfully no members were injured.
Fire departments from all across the county and into New York State assisted on scene or were placed on standby. The American Red Cross and The Salvation Army also assisted on scene.
We can’t thank them enough for their efforts!
Firefighters worked diligently and as hard as they could to limit the fire spread to the five homes that were on fire, with a sixth house damaged.
The fire is still under investigation with a cause yet to be determined.
Captain 1-20(Kloss) had initially assumed command and as the incident grew, then passed command to Chief 1 (Taylor). Captain 110 (Scrivo) handle operations on the Pearl St side and Lieutenant 111 (Campogiani) handle operations on Pleasant St.
More on this fire can be found in a statement from Chief Eric Taylor on our Facebook page.
