Organization To Preserve Legacy Of CCC Corps Formed
CCC Foundation Formed; Annual Reunion Aug. 24
An
organization that preserves the legacy of the Civilian Conservation
Corps has been established in the region, known as the CCC Legacy
Foundation/Lumber Heritage Region Chapter. Potter is one of 15 counties
covered by the new chapter, recognizing the accomplishments of 86 CCC
camps. More information is available by calling 814-486-0213 or sending
an email to Mike Wennin at mwennin@lumberheritage.orgAmerica was in the middle of the Great Depression when the Civilian Conservation Corps was born. President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the recruitment of thousands of unemployed young men. Susquehannock State Forest had 10 camps, eight of which were in Potter County. The forest had a new workforce of young men who built roads and primitive bridges, planted trees, fought fires and inventoried the forest. As work progressed and projects were completed, some camps were closed or relocated. Often, Corps members would move from camp to camp.
Remnants are easy to find. The pavilion at Cherry Springs State Park was built by the CCC. In fact, much of the park was created by S-136 (Cherry Springs) and S-88 (Lyman Run), two of the camps in Potter County. By 1940, more than 160,000 young men had participated in CCC activities in Pennsylvania, 80 percent of them from urban areas. The United States’ entry into World War II spelled the end of the CCC. By that time, the Corps members had planted nearly 50 million trees in Pennsylvania and left a legacy for past, present and future generations to enjoy.
This year marks the 79th anniversary of the Civilian Conservation Corps. A reunion of CCC workers is planned for Aug. 24 at the Warren County Visitor Center, with dedication of the new CCC statue planned for 10 am. Attendees will then gather for a picnic and memorial wreath dedication at Betts Park. The festivities are open to the public.

WILDLIFE CONSERVATION PARTNERSHIP CELEBRATES 75 YEARS
WILDLIFE CONSERVATION PARTNERSHIP CELEBRATES 75 YEARS
Pennsylvania has been a prime beneficiary of the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act
By Joe Kosack
It’s hard to imagine how wild Pennsylvania – in fact, America – would be today without the annual funds provided by 1937’s Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act.
“This landmark legislation, celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, redirected the use of a federal excise tax on sporting arms and ammunition to help restore America’s wildlife,” explained Carl G. Roe, Pennsylvania Game Commission executive director. “Now known as the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, it is recognized as one of the most important and lasting commitments America has made to wildlife and its conservation.”

Northern Potter School District Hosts Technology Camp
Northern Potter School District
Hosts Technology Camp
By Tim WalckOn August 9th, and 10th, the Northern Potter School District hosted a very successful technology event, open to public educators, administration, and tech coordinators representing 5 districts.
The event, deemed the North Central Technology Camp, was created to help local educators, in the public schools, network with each other and become aware of new uses of technology in the classroom. Teachers and administrators from multiple districts were in attendance and were able to participate in hands-on activities led by professors, technology experts, and teachers, as well as vendors such as Cleveland Corporate, IntegraOne, and Verizon.
As a photographer and educator, I was very lucky to be able to attend the conference. Every speaker was top-notch and demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the technological tools they were presenting. The event was an overall great success and from the glowing responses from those in attendance, it is apparent that another great Technology Camp is already in the makings for next year.

Galeton Rotary Club News
Galeton Rotary Club News
By Henry LushThe Galeton Rotary Club met Thursday, August 9th at the Ox Yoke Inn with President Beth Hoff presiding. The club recapped the 61st annual Woodsmen's Show held last weekend at Cherry Springs State Park. It was a very successful year in many ways. The club did well although the final figures are not all tabulated and of course the surrounding area benefited economically with over 7,000 people coming to enjoy the show. The club expressed appreciation for all of the work and cooperation Park Superintendent, Chip Harrison provided to make sure everything was set up and ready for the show.
President Hoff thanked the club for all the work and cooperation that the 20 member club put forth for many days of work to make the show such a success. Of course many volunteers worked very hard as well. Non Rotarians Byron Mitchell and Frank Russell were particularly mentioned for special recognition.
Many suggestions for next year were outlined including the possibility of encouraging women contestants. President Hoff will be visiting other show to get some new ideas.
Over the past years the Woodsman Show has allowed the Galeton Rotary Club to contribute over $300,000. to many community projects in Galeton.
President Hoff also suggested that the club set up a Rotary Interact Club in the Galeton School which will help students learn about Rotary and participate in various projects throughout the year.
