Penn State Extension Energy Team to Offer Webinars on Large-Scale Solar
Much of the history of Pennsylvania can be tied back to the production of energy. Initially, coal was “king.” Oil production brought an abundance of wealth and further changes to the landscape. With the advent of unconventional drilling and Marcellus Shale, Pennsylvania again became a leader in energy production. Pennsylvania is currently the second largest energy-producing state behind Texas.
Pennsylvania’s natural resources have been a vital part of its economy and have offered employment for millions across the Commonwealth. Where Pennsylvania has fallen behind is in the production of electricity through renewable energy. Commonly this type of renewable energy is dominated by wind and solar. Currently, electricity in Pennsylvania produced by solar arrays is under 1%, while other states are nearing or have surpassed 10%.
CNB Bank Donates to Dickinson Center’s New St. Marys Building Project
ST. MARYS, Pa (February 3, 2023)—Dickinson Center, Inc., an affiliate of Journey Health System, received a $75,000 commitment from CNB Bank to support their new building in St. Marys. CNB Bank has pledged $15,000 per year for the next five years for this project.
Guy Signor, president and CEO of Journey Health System stated, “CNB continues to support regional projects throughout our rural communities that would otherwise go unfunded and may be unable to be achieved by many of their nonprofit partners like Dickinson Center. The new building will be a centerpiece for Dickinson Center’s programs in St. Marys. It is our goal to make sure the building fits into and beautifies the downtown St. Marys’ area, where it will be constructed. We are thankful to the people of St. Marys for their patience as we have experienced delays in the development of this project due to changes in scope and issues related to the Covid-19 pandemic. We believe we are now back on track and moving forward with our development plans.”
PROJECTS EXPLORE CWD IN PENNSYLVANIA
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) – an always-fatal and untreatable neurological disease affecting white-tailed deer and elk – continues to expand across Pennsylvania.
But it’s not going unchallenged. Several research initiatives launching this year aim to increase understanding of CWD and develop tools to confront it.
The first project will look at the impact of CWD on deer in Bedford and Fulton counties, which have produced about 90% of known CWD-positive deer since the disease’s discovery in Pennsylvania in 2012.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission, in cooperation with the Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at Penn State University and the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine’s (Penn Vet) Wildlife Futures Program, will capture and outfit deer with GPS collars over three years starting this winter. Deer will be monitored to examine their fates.
“Although it is unfortunate that CWD is now found in about one of every five hunter-harvested adult deer in these counties, these circumstances do provide a higher probability of capturing, marking and monitoring individual CWD-infected deer,” said Andrea Korman, the Game Commission’s CWD Section Supervisor. “It will give us insight into the effects of CWD on Pennsylvania’s deer population.”
A second project with the Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at Penn State University will use modeling to investigate how CWD may affect future deer populations and what actions can be taken to reduce any negative effects.
