Think About It
Passion
By
B.J. Knefley
Passion, do you have it? What does it mean? Can you have passion for one thing and not another? Is it always good? Does it fulfill?
I’ve lived a life of passion. Passion about running, hobbies, work and a host of other things have filled my life, but has it always been what filled me? Can I have a life that is filled with passion while at the same time come up empty with living a fulfilled life? I believe we can.
I have always held to the idea that we need to live our lives with passion. Passion is what drives us, what pushes us forward or in the sense of a long-distance runner pushes us beyond the wall. Passion is simply what we hunger for, it’s why we get out of bed, it’s the fuel for why we do what we do. As much as it fills our life we can still feel unfulfilled, and dissatisfied. Why? Simply because our passion is about ourselves, our fulfillment, our happiness and what we desire for ourselves. In the end, as full as our lives might be, we come up empty.
The crucifixion of Christ is often referred to as the Passion of Christ. Not so surprising when you consider that it’s what Christ lived for. Remember, he said that he came to do the will of the Father, (John 6:38). In the plan of the Father, there stood a cross. What then was the passion of Christ about? The simple answer is that his passion was for others, not himself. This is where most of us differ because the passion we live out is about ourselves, what we want and rarely about others. Could it be that we’re missing the point? Are we chasing the wrong things to be passionate about? Rather than a self-filled life, maybe we need a selfless life.
Personally, I’ve been challenged to look back over my life and ask some difficult questions. Most importantly, have I been missing the point? Jesus said, “If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.” (Mt 10:39). That seems quite clear doesn’t it. Think about it.

DEP Issues NOVs To Roulette Oil & Gas LLC For Abandoning Another Conventional Well In Potter County; Roulette Applying For Oil & Gas Wastewater Injection Well Permit
Article by: PA Environment Digest
On September 19, 2023, DEP inspected the Contant 1 conventional well operated by Roulette Oil and Gas LLC in Harrison Township, Potter County and issued notices of violation for failure to plug the well upon abandoning it.
DEP also issued an NOV for failure of the operator to plug the well to stop the vertical flow of fluids or gas within the well bore.
DEP’s inspection report said the well was drilled in 2009 and has not been produced to date. It was granted inactive status on April 24, 2014 which expired on April 24, 2019 without a request for extension.
DEP records also indicate the operator failed to submit annual mechanical integrity reports as required to maintain inactive status.
DEP requested the operator to submit a written report to DEP by October 20, 2023 on how it would bring the well into compliance.
DEP is now reviewing a permit application from Roulette Oil and Gas LLC for an oil and gas wastewater injection well in Clara Township, Potter County.
Lauren Barr from the citizen group Save Our Streams PA submitted comments during the public comment period in July which show the principals involved in the company have been involved in abandoning eight other injection wells in Clara and Hebron Townships in Potter County under several business names. Read more here.
Now DEP’s September 19 inspection adds another set of notices of violation for abandoning a well to that list.
Click Here for a full copy of Larie Barr’s comments that includes copies and links to documents referenced in the comments.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency already issued an Underground Injection Control Permit (PAS2D050BPOT), effective January 14, 2022, to authorize the operation of the Class II-D Injection Well at this location. [Read more here]
Visit DEP’s Underground Injection Control Wells webpage for information on a state permit needed for injection wells.

Grand Opening of the Kane Mercantile
New store lets local artists and crafters sell their creations.
KANE, Sept. 20, 2023 – The Kane Mercantile announced today that it will open its doors at 8 Field Street in Kane. The public is invited to join the grand opening celebration on Friday, October 6, at 6pm.
The celebration will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, a children’s art workshop, champagne, smoked treats from J&L Smoking (one of the vendors at the Mercantile), a blessing on the store by Rock Bob (another vendor), and a visit from Percy, the therapy horse from Percy and Pals farm. “I’m taking my small business to the next level,” said Elysia Murillo, age 6, who has been selling her handmade items at craft fairs for the past year. “I started a lemonade stand with my mom,” she explained.
“We did start small,” said Laura DePierre, Elysia’s mom and one of the owners of the Kane Mercantile. “We went to so many craft fairs and saw so many other families and artists struggling, we want to create a space where crafters and makers can actually sell their stuff. It’s for the community.”
The Kane Mercantile will take items made by local artists, crafters, and makers and sell them on a consignment system. Items will include woodworking, paintings, crochet and knit items, holiday-themed clothing and decor, handmade cards, wreaths, and unique items. In addition, “upcycled” items (discarded items reused in a creative way) will be sold. The Kane Mercantile also plans to hold regular events, such as a weekly community dinner and a Lego club, headed by Elysia’s little brother, Benicio Murillo, age 5.
“I’m going to cut the ribbon!” said Benicio.
About the Kane Mercantile
Founded by two local families, the Kane Mercantile is dedicated to giving local artists, crafters, and makers a place to showcase and sell their creations. Operating on a consignment system, the Kane Mercantile works through community engagement. This includes regular events open to the public, including arts and crafts workshops and STEAM events for children. Learn more on the Kane Mercantile Facebook page.
