Women’s Introduction to Wingshooting to be Offered at the Mt Jewett Sportsmen’s Club in July and August – Registration Required

0 Comments

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

0 Comments

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. 

PA Wilds indicated five applications should be selected, but the committee has opted to bring six to Cameron County for a month long stay in July.  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. 

Brent Whiting is from Lansdale and works at Temple University as the executive director for information systems.  Brent will be joined by his wife who is an artist/crafter, three children and 2 dogs.    Brent has spent time in Tioga County at a family cabin and has “often talked about moving to a rural area of the state”.  The family are active volunteers in the Lansdale area. 

Joni Bryan is from Westhampton Massachusetts and will be bringing her spouse and their dog named Denton.  Joni owns her own company and designs and implements database solutions for nonprofit organizations.  Joni has a passion for the military, as she followed in her fathers’ footsteps, and her son is currently serving in the United States Navy.  In her free time, Joni rides motorcycles, reads, cooking and describes herself as an amateur anthropologist.  Jace is a salesforce administrator with No Red Ink and has been a member of the NASA team for the Mars Rover project.

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.

Think About It

Memorials

by

Pastor B.J. Knefley

Memorials, do you have any? Perhaps without thinking you have created some without even knowing it. They often dot our life in different ways. Perhaps it’s the mount that’s hanging on the wall of our family room, or your first gun. Maybe it’s the wall in the hall that’s adorned with family pictures. We might not recognize it but we often have many memorials throughout our home and life. They’re important to us because they remind us of important events.

In my own life I have plaques and pictures that remind me of achievements. I have objects that I carry that remind me of the source of my hope. One of those things is a small rock about the size of a quarter. I carry it to remind me that it only took a small stone to kill Goliath. If you’re not familiar with that name it comes from the story of David and Goliath, a huge giant of a man. He taunted the Israelites with his size and his words. David a shepherd, took his slingshot and a few stones and accepted that challenge. The result was that David, with just one small stone, killed the mighty Goliath. My stone reminds me that it only takes a small stone to kill the giants in my life.

My Bible is another source of memorials. Over the years I have noted and underlined passages. Often these are accompanied by dates. Each remind me of a time in my life where a passage spoke to my spirit with encouragement or direction. Each time I come across one of these passages I smile in remembrance. It’s not that these reminders are of good times. Sometimes they remind me of very difficult times in my life and I am reminded of where I was and where I am now. These become remembrances of hope and perseverance.  

Sometimes the greatest encouragement that we can have is thorough the memorials that we’ve established in our lives. They become anchors that can help in our forward moment and direction. Without these we might just become adrift. Think about it.

Flowers Foods Issues Voluntary Recall on Tastykake Chocolate Kandy Kakes Due to Undeclared Peanuts

Flowers Foods, Inc. (NYSE: FLO) is voluntarily recalling certain Tastykake® Chocolate Kandy Kakes due to undeclared peanuts. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

The product being recalled was distributed on May 11, 2023 to retail customers in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia, and West Virginia. The packages have an “Enjoy By” date of June 5, 2023 on the side of the package, and UPC 0 25600 00225 4.
