Opportunities to Acquire Machinery and Equipment
![]() |
Opportunities to Acquire Machinery and Equipment Does your municipality need equipment but can’t afford it? Does this prevent you from providing vital services to your community? Municipal budgets are tight, and at the Governor's Center for Local Government Services (GCLGS) we understand that and want to assist in any way we can. One way to get necessary equipment at an affordable price is through reutilization. This is where the Pennsylvania Department of General Services (DGS), Bureau of Supplies and Surplus Operations (BSSO) can help. BSSO administers several programs to help Pennsylvania communities acquire much-needed resources at a cost savings to purchasing new. The main program offered is the Federal Surplus Property Program, where all municipalities and local government units (fire/police, emergency management, schools, etc.) are eligible to receive property no longer used by the federal government. BSSO also manages all state property no longer in use. As part of this program, the state offers a semi-annual Private Municipal Auction of PennDOT heavy equipment no longer in use. This is a great way for municipalities to purchase valuable equipment at an affordable price. Items are housed at 2221 Forster Street and are available for viewing Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information on the programs offered by BSSO, visit www.dgs.state.pa.us/bsso. |

Techsploration Graduates 18 Students
Techsploration Graduation
The Potter County Education Council in partnership with the Seneca Highlands IU9 and Seneca Highlands Career & Technical Center recognized 18 students for participating in this year's Techsploration program.
This program helps them explore other careers to identify what interest them, and just as importantly what they are not interested in.
This year's careers included: Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Metalworking Occupations, Networking, and Sustainable Energy. They learned about the job market, required education and educational opportunities, and got to perform hands-on projects to see what type of work is done in each of these fields.
The Education Council would also like to thank UGI for sponsoring this program. UGI has made a commitment to invest in the communities they serve and made a generous contribution to the Education Council through the PA EITC program.
UGI's generous contribution allowed us to offer this program free of charge. This program would not have been possible without UGI's strong support. Lisa Ninotti, Community Relations Manager for UGI was presented with a plaque thanking UGI for their support and generous contribution.

Katie McGinty Keynote Speaker At Elk Country Multi-County Democratic Picnic July 12 At Benezette
![]() |
Katie McGinty |
A tireless environmental advocate, McGinty served in the Clinton administration as Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. She later was appointed by Governor Ed Rendell to serve as Secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection, the first woman ever to hold the position. During her tenure as Secretary, she helped attract leading clean energy companies to Pennsylvania, bringing a billion dollars in new investment and creating 3000 new jobs in the state. Most recently, Katie was chosen by Democratic Governor Candidate Tom Wolf to head his newly formed "The Campaign for a Fresh Start" political action committee.
McGinty will be joined at the podium by Elk County District Attorney Shawn McMahon, former State Representative Bud George, Admiral Joe Sestak, State Representative candidates Jack Donahue (PA-75) and Toby Santik (PA-66), US House of Representative candidate Kerith Strano Taylor (US-PA5), and Todd Eagen who is considering a run for Commonweath Court Judge.
The picnic, which starts at 1:00pm on the 12th, is being held at the Dudley Farm, 1511 Winslow Hill Road in Benezette, PA, just minutes from the state of the art Elk Country Visitor Center in the heart of Pennsylvania's wild elk herd.

PA Secretary Of Agriculture Reflects On Our Nation's Birth
Message from George Greig, PA Secretary of Agriculture
Today we celebrate the birth of our nation 238 years ago, here in PA at Philadelphia's Independence Hall.
Even before that, colonials were putting their lives on the line for the freedoms we enjoy today. I see the fruits of their struggle in the growing industries along every busy interstate or the green fields by every quiet dirt road.
This Independence Day and always, thank those who continue to fight to ensure our state and nation stay safe for future generations. Also thank others who serve it, including our farmers who grow food, the teachers who educate our future generations, the lawmakers and other public servants, and volunteers in orgs across PA.
I encourage you to give back to your communities, since we all play critical roles in keeping them great places to call home. I’m proud of what we have here in PA, including a fantastic ag industry full of great people. We’ve been given much by selfless generations who came before us. It’s now our turn to give back.
Have a happy, safe Independence Day.
On behalf of the Department of Agriculture,
Happy Independence Day.

What does an elk eat?
With footage captured by a tiny video camera placed on a Pennsylvania elk this week, researchers soon will find out.
The Game Commission actively manages wildlife habitat throughout Pennsylvania, and within the state’s 3,500-square-mile elk-management area. Habitat quality directly influences elk pregnancy rates, survival, calf recruitment and the distribution of elk.
Projects to improve or create high-quality habitat also are used to mitigate elk-human conflicts and hunter-related elk mortality. By making lands more inviting to elk, elk aren’t as likely to turn up in less ideal areas.
Traditional studies on the types of habitat elk prefer have provided both biologists and land managers with information needed to create high-quality elk habitat. However, a complete understanding of the elk’s habitat selection requires an examination at the finest scale.
Previously, the Game Commission wasn’t able to collect that information.
But on Tuesday, researchers placed a collar on an adult cow elk that not only will record her locations through GPS technology, but also will record video shot by a camera housed within the collar.
The camera is programmed to collect video and audio during specific times of the day.
The collar will fall off the elk in about 75 days, at which time the Game Commission will send the collar back to the manufacturer so the recordings can be retrieved. By providing never-before-collected information at the micro-scale, the recordings and readings from the collar will assist biologists and land managers, and will help in the planning and development of habitat-management programs.
The Keystone Elk Country Alliance (KECA) purchased the collar and will use the information collected for educational programming, as well as habitat management.
“High-quality habitat is vitally important to elk, to the Game Commission and to KECA,” said KECA President and CEO Rawley Cogan. “We are pleased to fund this pilot habitat study and we look forward to cooperating with the biologists to refine the habitat-management plan for Pennsylvania’s elk range.”

Every year we bring new attractions to our fun and educational programs and YES we did it again! Rich Wykoff on Saturday and John Eastlake on Sunday will have presentations about the "CCC's". They will answer questions, help with finding information and inform visitors the importance of the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Each day will feature a full program of activities, music, demonstrations, displays, exhibitions, contests, food and crafts for sale.
The museum opens at 9:00 am on both days with programs beginning at 10:00 am.

Sunday will feature Horseshoe Pitching at 10:00 am and the Frog Jumping Contest at 11:45 with dozens of children urging their frogs down the track and across the finish line. At 1:00 pm there will be the Cross Cut Saw Competition and the popular Birling Contest at 2:00 with the winner having the title of Pennsylvania State Birling Champion. A new category - Grand Champion Bark Peeler will honor the contestant with the most points from all contests.
Music will be provided on Saturday by the Mountain Minstrelsy and Nelson Waffle will provide music on both days. Lots of great food will be available including sandwiches, Kettle Korn, maple coated peanuts, ice cream and more.
Antique engine buffs will enjoy a variety of operating engines and belt powered equipment presented by AMEIA, a group of antique engine collectors. "Jack Haines" will be with us again this year to help with different activities and contests throughout both days.
The famous 8 foot log cake will be cut and served at noon on Sunday in the CCC cabin.
One of the many highlights will be the woodhick skills demonstrations: Axe throwing, bark peeling, chopping, and crosscut sawing by Bill Simcox and family in the outdoor arena; model trains display in the stable by Bucky Green; model barnhart log loaders displayed by Ken McCauley.
