Oil/Gas Leasing: Knowing options before there are none
DECISIONS AFTER LEASING…
Protected Choices
Throughout the Twin Tier region (PA & NY) leasing subsurface resources has existed for over a hundred years. Like all industries since early days … the technology has expanded! From development to production to marketing, to the innumerable uses that now exist for natural gas and oil, everything has changed. While in recent years it may have felt like an explosion in our midst, in truth generations before us had to make business decisions about their same resources … natural gas and oil.
Readers who can identify with having leased acreage, “regardless of the document’s age” may be surprised to learn that options exist to up-date an already-signed lease. It’s not difficult to find someone who has already been approached by his/her leasing company … a company that wants to alter or expand upon original lease wording. However comfortable (or not) landowners have been with their current lease holdings, understand that this change is inevitable.
What steps will landowners take to update their own knowledge before they sign an altered leasing document? The choices made can change current lifestyles and those in the future. The same holds true for our environment. Throughout Twin Tier territory storage leases and pipeline leases have always been a part of our lives. None of the above is “news”. It’s our history. Time to check over leases that may be “older than the hills”, or newer ones expiring within a year or two. Has everything happened that you were expecting?
Knowing options before there are none, is an opportunity being presented by Penn State professionals and natural gas/oil attorneys on November 29th @ 6:00 PM, Firemen’s Meeting Hall, 171 Rte 6W, Coudersport, PA $15/person
Registration is encouraged by calling 814.887.5613, or online

HUNTING LICENSES NO LONGER NEED TO BE DISPLAYED
HUNTING LICENSES NO LONGER NEED TO BE DISPLAYED
Hunters and trappers are reminded they no longer are required to display their licenses on an outer garment, said Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe.
“The Game Commission supported legislation that was enacted last year and took effect earlier this year to remove the statutory requirement that licenses be displayed,” Roe said. “Hunters now may place their hunting license in their wallet with other ID, as they are required to have a second form of identification with them while hunting.”

HARVEST REPORTING AVAILABLE VIA POSTCARD, ONLINE OR TELEPHONE
HARVEST REPORTING AVAILABLE VIA POSTCARD, ONLINE OR TELEPHONE
Those participating in the upcoming deer season will be able to file their mandatory harvest reports through the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s online system; the toll-free Interactive Voice Response (IVR) telephone harvest reporting system, which is 1-855-PAHUNT1 (1-855-724-8681); or via postage-paid postcard.
To report a deer harvest online, go to the Game Commission’s website (www.pgc.state.pa.us), click on “Report Your Harvest” above the “Quick Clicks” box in the right-hand column, click on “You can link to PALS by clicking here,” check “Harvest Reporting,” scroll down and click on the “Start Here” button at the bottom of the page, choose the method of validating license information, and click on the checkbox for the harvest tag being reported. A series of options will appear for a hunter to report a harvest. After filling in the harvest information, click on the “Continue” button to review the report and then hit the “Submit” button to complete the report. Failing to hit the “Submit” button will result in a harvest report not being completed.
Hunters should have their Customer Identification Number (hunting license number) and field harvest tag information with them when they call, and should speak clearly and distinctly when reporting harvests, especially when providing the Wildlife Management Unit number and letter.
“Hunters may report one or more harvests in a single session,” Roe said. “Responses to all harvest questions are required.
“Hunters who use the toll-free number to submit a harvest report will receive a confirmation number, which they should write down and keep as proof of reporting. Those who report online should print or save a copy of their harvest report submission as proof of reporting.”
Roe noted that hunters still have the option to file harvest report postcards, which are included as tear-out sheets in the current digest.
“We certainly are encouraging hunters to use the online reporting system, which will ensure that their harvest is recorded,” Roe said. “The more important point is that all hunters do their part in deer management and report their harvested deer to the agency.”

A Brockport man is in jail after a federal search warrant uncovered an elaborate drug operation in his home.
A federal warrant was executed earlier this month at the home of 54-year-old James Volpe following a four-month investigation.
At the house, police found 65 marijuana plants growing behind a false wall in the basement, along with growing equipment and digital scales. They also found more than a pound of methamphetamine, $2,600 in cash, and a pill-making machine with, according to the criminal complaint, hundreds if not thousands of pills.

COUNTDOWN TO DEER SEASON HAS BEGUN
COUNTDOWN TO DEER SEASON HAS BEGUN
HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania’s only unofficial holiday - the Monday after Thanksgiving – marks the opening day of the two-week general deer season, and will feature nearly 750,000 individuals sporting fluorescent orange throughout Penn’s Woods, according to Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe.
Antler restrictions in place this year mirror those from the previous year. For Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B and 2D, hunters need to identify three antler points, not including the brow tine, which is the point immediately above the antler burr. In the remainder of the state, antler restrictions remain a minimum of at least three points on one side.
Statewide, all junior license holders, mentored youth hunters, disabled hunters with a permit to use a vehicle and resident active-duty U.S. Armed Services personnel have a minimum antler restrictions of one antler with at least two points, or one antler three or more inches in length.
For those hunters in 11 WMUs, there is a split-season structure, in which the first five days (Nov. 26-30) are open for antlered deer only and the remaining seven days (Dec. 1-8) are open for antlered and antlerless deer. Those WMUs are 2A, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G, 3B, 3C, 4B, 4D and 4E. In the other 11 WMUs, antlered and antlerless deer are in season from Nov. 26-Dec. 8.
“In addition to being a rich part of our state’s heritage, deer season is critical in managing Pennsylvania’s whitetails,” Roe said. “The efforts of hunters are far-reaching; they help to keep deer populations in check, and enable the agency to meet deer management goals that benefit those who reside, visit or travel through this state.”
Roe noted that hunters will need to make sure that they have done their pre-season scouting, as fall food conditions, development, posted property and other factors will impact deer movements.
“Deer will respond to food availability and hunter pressure, both of which can vary from year to year, and from one area to another,” Roe said. “Pre-season scouting can improve a hunter’s chance for success this year.
“Recognizing the impacts dramatic changes on the landscape may have on deer movements will be just as important – if not more important – as identifying those locations where deer are feeding regularly. Spending time afield before season often leads to better hunting opportunities.”
Hunters must wear 250 square inches of fluorescent orange material on the head, chest and back combined at all times while afield during the seasons. They also are advised that it’s illegal to hunt, chase or disturb deer within 150 yards of any occupied building without the occupant's permission if they are using a firearm, or 50 yards if they are using a bow or crossbow.
During the two-week season, hunters may use any legal sporting arm, as outlined on page 45 of the 2012-13 Digest. Rifles are not permitted to be used in Allegheny, Bucks, Chester, Delaware or Montgomery counties, however, shotguns and muzzleloaders are legal. Deer hunters in Philadelphia may use only bows or crossbows.
All hunters who take a deer must fill out their harvest tag and attach it to the deer’s ear before moving the carcass. The tag can be secured to the base of the ear with a string drawn very tightly, if the hunter plans to have the deer mounted. Cutting a slit in the ear to attach the tag will require additional work by a taxidermist.
For those hunters who plan to visit both a deer processor and taxidermist, it is important to remember that state law requires the deer harvest carcass tag to remain with the head at the taxidermist, and that a second hand-made tag containing the name, address and license number of the person who harvested the deer and the location of the harvest should remain with the rest of the carcass going to the processor.
Roe noted that properly licensed bear hunters who still possess an unused bear tag come deer season may take a bear during all or portions of the first week of deer season, but only in certain WMUs. Sale of bear licenses will continue through Nov. 16, after which it will close and then reopen briefly Nov. 22 to 25. Specific seasons and reporting requirements for taking bears during deer season are outlined on page 36-38 of the 2012-13 Digest issued with the purchase of a hunting license. The Digest also may be viewed on the Game Commission’s website (www.pgc.state.pa.us).
HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania’s only unofficial holiday - the Monday after Thanksgiving – marks the opening day of the two-week general deer season, and will feature nearly 750,000 individuals sporting fluorescent orange throughout Penn’s Woods, according to Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe.

Antler restrictions in place this year mirror those from the previous year. For Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B and 2D, hunters need to identify three antler points, not including the brow tine, which is the point immediately above the antler burr. In the remainder of the state, antler restrictions remain a minimum of at least three points on one side.
Statewide, all junior license holders, mentored youth hunters, disabled hunters with a permit to use a vehicle and resident active-duty U.S. Armed Services personnel have a minimum antler restrictions of one antler with at least two points, or one antler three or more inches in length.
For those hunters in 11 WMUs, there is a split-season structure, in which the first five days (Nov. 26-30) are open for antlered deer only and the remaining seven days (Dec. 1-8) are open for antlered and antlerless deer. Those WMUs are 2A, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G, 3B, 3C, 4B, 4D and 4E. In the other 11 WMUs, antlered and antlerless deer are in season from Nov. 26-Dec. 8.
“In addition to being a rich part of our state’s heritage, deer season is critical in managing Pennsylvania’s whitetails,” Roe said. “The efforts of hunters are far-reaching; they help to keep deer populations in check, and enable the agency to meet deer management goals that benefit those who reside, visit or travel through this state.”
Roe noted that hunters will need to make sure that they have done their pre-season scouting, as fall food conditions, development, posted property and other factors will impact deer movements.
“Deer will respond to food availability and hunter pressure, both of which can vary from year to year, and from one area to another,” Roe said. “Pre-season scouting can improve a hunter’s chance for success this year.
“Recognizing the impacts dramatic changes on the landscape may have on deer movements will be just as important – if not more important – as identifying those locations where deer are feeding regularly. Spending time afield before season often leads to better hunting opportunities.”
Hunters must wear 250 square inches of fluorescent orange material on the head, chest and back combined at all times while afield during the seasons. They also are advised that it’s illegal to hunt, chase or disturb deer within 150 yards of any occupied building without the occupant's permission if they are using a firearm, or 50 yards if they are using a bow or crossbow.

Area Teams Confer On Sustainable Tourism Development
 |
| The Lumber Heritage Team |
“PA Wilds Fall Workshop: Connecting Nature, Economy, and Community Character,” was held Nov. 8-9 at the Red Fern and attracted nine teams from several different counties looking to advance sustainable tourism projects important to their areas and that revolve around the region’s natural and cultural assets.
 |
| The Port Allegany Team |
a group from Elk County looking at creating the “Boulderdash” adventure race that links land stewardship, outdoor recreation and health improvement goals;
a region-wide team working on long-term sustainability of the PA Wilds Artisan Trail;
a trails team from Clarion County looking to develop a strategic plan;
a team of businesses from Jefferson County looking to establish their area of the Wilds as a destination for corporate wellness programs and retreats;
a team from Clearfield County working on revitalization efforts in Curwensville and connections to the West Branch Susquehanna Water Trail;
a team from the Lumber Heritage Region working on their organization’s management plan update;
a team from Tioga County that wants to better link natural and cultural assets to boost tourism;
a team from McKean County working on downtown revitalization in Port Allegany;
and a team from Potter County looking to capitalize on increased foot traffic to Cherry Springs Dark Skies Park by positioning a nearby town to be a gateway to the park.
Teams were structured to include a diverse membership with participants being community leaders, elected officials, business owners, land managers and tourism professionals.

 |
| Galeton Dark Skies Team |
The conference, offered by the PA Wilds Planning Team, is similar to one the group held in 2007, which led to several successful community-driven tourism projects in the region.
“Residents know best what projects have potential in their areas, but it is sometimes hard to find the time or opportunity to get the right people around the table to advance these good ideas or tie them into what is going on regionally with tourism,” said Planning Team Chair Dan Glotz. “The fall conference is just a first step for the teams. Our hope is the participants will build on the plans they developed at the workshop – and that they’ll be in a better position to do that now that they are connected into the regional network that is the backbone of the Pennsylvania Wilds Initiative.”

Acorn Markets Partner with Animal Care Sanctuary
Acorn Markets Partner with Animal Care Sanctuary
Wellsboro, PA: November 15th, the managers of Putnam Company’s Acorn Markets from Westfield, Wellsboro, Tioga, Elkland, Canton, Galeton, Blossburg, Genesee, and Shinglehouse in Pennsylvania; plus Addison, Andover, and Canisteo in New York, all convened to initiate a Season of Giving Fund Raiser for Animal Care Sanctuary in Wellsboro. The name of the program is “Join our Cawz, Save Some Pawz.”
“ACS provides a safe, clean environment for surrendered pets until they can place them in loving homes. We know they receive no government funding, and rely on donations, so this year Acorn Markets will be helping them gain donations through a placard program,” said Marketing Manager Tina Kambouris. “We’ve asked our stores’ employees to sell the placards to our customers for $1 at time of checkout November 15th through December 20th. The funds will then be collected and presented to ACS. We like to help locally based non-profits, and the shelter animals were a great match to be our community outreach project this season.”
Animal Care Sanctuary is a 501c3, non-profit organization based in East Smithfield since 1988. An ACS satellite office has been in business for 14 months in the facility located at 11765 Route 6, Wellsboro, PA. ACS is a nurturing stepping stone for animals of all kinds, and whose vision is to be a center of excellence, and leader in all animal services.
“ACS has adopted 132 animals from the Wellsboro facility so far this year,” said Wendy Reber, Wellsboro Director. “We are so thankful to have companies like The Putnam Company who recognize our need and want to give back. 100% of the proceeds their employees raise on behalf of the animals will go directly to the animals’ medical, physical, and emotional care while they are in our home, until we can successfully place them with a loving family. Many thanks go out to the Acorn Markets and their customers who give for our shelter animals.”
All Acorn Markets are open 7 days per week, and hours of operation vary in each location (listed above.)

Corbett Administration Considering Outsourcing PA Lottery To United Kingdom
Is privatizing Pennsylvania Lottery a smart bet? Lawmakers offer mixed opinions
By When Gov. Tom Corbett’s administration began weighing plans to privatize the Pennsylvania Lottery last spring, House Democratic Leader Frank Dermody saw no compelling reason to go down that road.
Even after hearing a British company’s promise of $34 billion in profits over the next 20 years to fund senior citizen programs, Dermody’s position still has not changed.
The lottery posted a record profit last year, the Allegheny County lawmaker noted. The lottery recorded nearly $3.5 billion in ticket sales, with administrative costs of just over 2 percent. Nationally, it’s recognized as a top-performer among state lotteries. Read More...

Heart’s Desire in Galeton Promotes Small Business Saturday
Wikipedia defines Small Business Saturday as an American shopping holiday created by American Express, held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year.
It is a counterpart to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which feature big box retail and e-commerce stores respectively. By contrast, Small Business Saturday encourages holiday shoppers to patronize brick and mortar businesses that are small and local.

Wikipedia defines Small Business Saturday as an American shopping holiday created by American Express, held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year.
It is a counterpart to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which feature big box retail and e-commerce stores respectively. By contrast, Small Business Saturday encourages holiday shoppers to patronize brick and mortar businesses that are small and local.

UPDATE 11-22-2012:
- Thank you all so much for your prayers and concern. Kim is still in a coma, and has brain trauma, major damage to her carotid arteries, and a broken pelvic bone. We won't know how bad the brain injuries are until she wakes up. She is a tough lady and the fact that she is young is good but she still has a long way to go. She still needs all of your prayers. Cards can be sent to Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown PA. I think you can send a card directly through their website (no flowers at this time please) I'll continue to keep you guys updated. Thanks
Solomon says: Thanks for the update. Keep us posted. We'll keep praying for her.
