Recipients of this year’s awards are pictured (left to right) Julia Postlewait, Lily Babcock, Miska Young, Amber Funk and Levi Wilfong. Making the presentation was Alexis Reed, granddaughter of the Eastmans.
The Eastman Award, formerly the Lloyd E. Eastman Memorial Award, was recently presented to five PAHS Seniors. The award, typically two $500 awards – one female and one male – was divided by the top vote-getters due to ties. Their selection was made by administration, teachers and staff at Port Allegany High School as well as coaches and advisors who interact with the students. The selection was based on the following piece by Bryan Scavnak: “Some kids are smarter than you, some kids have cooler clothes than you. Some kids are better at sports than you. It doesn’t matter…You have your thing, too. Be the kid who can get along.
Be the kid who is generous. Be the kid who is happy for other people. Be the kid who does the right thing. Be the nice kid.” Mr. Eastman was a graduate of Port Allegany High School, Class of 1941. He began his banking career on his 21st birthday and retired on his 85th birthday after 64 years of service at the First National Bank of Port Allegany. He worked his way from teller to President and Chairman of the Board. He volunteered and served his church and community. A devoted family man, Mr. Eastman and his wife, Dolores, were married for 70 years. She, too, was a graduate of Port Allegany High School, Class of 1942, worked at various jobs before becoming a homemaker and returned to the workforce after her children were grown. She worked as a secretary at the Liberty School for the PASD until her retirement. Earlier this year, Mrs. Eastman passed, leading the family to rename the Lloyd E. Eastman Memorial Award to the Eastman Award. The couple were kind and generous people who were happy for the success of others, who did the right thing and were nice people.
The 2023-24 deer seasons ended months ago as did the busiest time for chronic wasting disease (CWD) surveillance. CWD, a fatal neurological disease, is a threat to both white-tailed deer and elk and has been detected within the wild deer population in several areas of Pennsylvania. While the most intense efforts revolve around Pennsylvania’s deer hunting seasons, monitoring for CWD is a year-round endeavor. The public can view the results of these efforts on the CWD Surveillance Dashboard available online at https://pgcdatacollection.pa.gov/CWDResultsLookup.
The CWD Surveillance Dashboard continues to be updated weekly and allows the public to view past and current information related to CWD, and for hunters who submitted their deer for testing to access the results online.
Since July 1, 2023, the Game Commission has collected nearly 11,000 CWD samples from deer. Hunter harvested samples made up the bulk of those with over 7,000.
CWD was detected in a total of 291 of those hunter-harvested deer. To date, over 440 deer have tested positive for CWD in the 2023-2024 sampling year, up from 426 CWD-positive samples in 2022-23.
