ARCHERY DEER SEASON OPEN STATEWIDE
This is a case of enormity hidden in plain sight.
Take Penn State University’s Beaver Stadium – the second-largest stadium in the western hemisphere and the fourth-largest in the world with more than 105,000 seats – and fill it to capacity with fans three times over. Throw in another 40,000 or so concessionaires, parking attendants, custodians, tailgaters and the like.
What’s all that get you?
About as many camo-clad hunters as will hit the woods in the days and weeks ahead for Pennsylvania’s archery deer season. Roughly 350,000 people – about one of every two deer hunters here overall – will head afield in pursuit of whitetails with either a vertical bow or crossbow.
To put that into perspective, the Archery Trade Association earlier this year put out its first-ever estimate of bowhunter numbers nationwide. It credits Pennsylvania with more bowhunters than any other state, and 10% or so of all the bowhunters in the country.

Historic Olean House Burns; Residents Injured
It’s My Olean, NY! · Join
Paul Petruzzi · ·
Sad day in the 14760. This morning, another Olean landmark – the “Conklin/Mountain House” that is listed on the National Historic Register – burned down. This house was first owned by the Conklin family who established the Conklin Wagon Works that made the horse-drawn wagons used for the westward expansion of the United States. This house is part of this history of Olean and the United States.
I hope it can be restored and that it won’t be knocked down. It’s too important.

“Cooking safety starts with YOU!”
“Cooking safety starts with YOU! Pay attention to fire prevention” as official theme for Fire Prevention Week, October 8-14, 2023
The National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) — the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week™ for more than 100 years —has announced “Cooking safety starts with YOU! Pay attention to fire prevention TM”as the theme for Fire Prevention Week, October 8-14, 2023. This year’s focus on cooking safety works to educate the public about simple but important steps they can take to help reduce the risk of fire when cooking at home, keeping themselves and those around them safe.
According to NFPA, cooking is the leading cause of home fires, with nearly half (49 percent) of all home fires involving cooking equipment; cooking is also the leading cause of home fire injuries. Unattended cooking is the leading cause of home cooking fires and related deaths. In addition, NFPA data shows that cooking is the only major cause of fire that resulted in more fires and fire deaths in 2014-2018 than in 1980-1984.
