Historical Society to Reprint “Reflections of Cameron County"
The Cameron County Historical Society has contracted with a Pennsylvania publishing company to reprint "Reflections of Cameron County" created in 1994 that shows a pictorially Cameron County from its beginning to recent times.
This amazing book packed full of photos that were shared by local residents and some from the files of the Cameron County Historical Society, is an extremely rare book, only 100 were sold at the time.
Internet searches for the book continual yield no results. It's a pictorial research tool we at the Historical Society often use when determining how things looked at a certain moment in time. Unfortunately we have one copy and had no means to reproduce it without destroying it for reprint. Technology today has given us the opportunity to make it available once again to the general public.
"Reflections" is a treasure trove of 135 pages with over 400 photos that came from Cameron County residents, both present and past including some from the Cameron County Historical Society files. These images signify a wide range of the houses, businesses, and industry that once lined our streets, some still in existence today.
How about the "old pedestrian tunnel" that was once under the railroad at the end of south Popular Street that permitted employees access to Sylvania without going over the tracks, that photo is in the book and so much more.
This is a book that you will not want to sit down and look through alone. It demands family and friends who will want to reminisce. It's the perfect gift to take to a reunion, family gathering or a party it will become the highlight of the event and everyone will want a copy to.
Pre-orders only are being accepted for “Reflections of Cameron County” as the Historical Society must meet a minimum threshold in order to have the book printed.
The final date to order will be October 31, 2015, and the Historical Society plans to have the books shipped in December, in time to offer as a unique Christmas gift for any local history buff.
The book will cost $30 the same it did over 20 years ago and shipping to any US location is available for an additional $5.
Checks can be made out to the Cameron County Historical Society and sent to PO Box 433; Emporium, PA 15834.

Six Schools Vie For Title in Robotics Competition at Penn State DuBois
 |
| Penn State DuBois Assistant Professor of Engineering Daudi Waryoba introduces teams to the playing field they'll navigate their robots through during BEST. |
The competition and Game Days are slated for 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. on Friday, October 23, and continuing from 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 24. The games will take place in the campus gymnasium, with Penn State DuBois serving as a local hub for the competition for the second year in a row. A Mall Day is also planned for 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 10, at DuBois Mall. All BEST events are open to the public.
Teams participating in this year's BEST at Penn State DuBois are DuBois Area, DuBois Central Catholic, Redbank Valley, Clarion-Limestone, Wider School, and Ridgway Area.
BEST provides all necessary parts and equipment for teams to build a robot that they can use to run a course and perform specified tasks. The theme of this year's BEST is titled Pay Dirt, and is based on deep mining techniques and the design, construction, and operation of the machines utilized in mining. The robot must be built within a six-week time frame. On the days of the contest, all teams will run the course, competing for the best times and course completion.
Through participation in this project-based program, students learn to analyze and solve problems utilizing the Engineering Design Process, which helps them develop technological literacy skills. The goal is to better prepare these students for further education and careers in STEM fields, (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).
The learning opportunities with BEST don't stop at STEM fields, however. Teams also compete and receive awards for other areas of the project, which include marketing, exhibition, sportsmanship, and team spirit.
Penn State DuBois Chancellor Melanie Hatch said she is happy to host BEST on campus, because the organization puts educational experiences for the participants at the forefront of its mission. Hatch said, "Competitions like BEST encourage students to embrace academics by providing a fun, competitive environment. Interesting and engaging activities involving STEM education get young people excited about the fields early on, and have great potential to inspire many of our nation's much-needed future engineers, scientists, or mathematicians."
Hatch also noted the structure of the competition provides a place for students of all academic strengths to participate and excel. She said, "Additionally, it presents opportunities for students with stronger aptitudes outside of STEM to compete in areas like marketing, where they can shine, as well."
Winners of BEST at Penn State DuBois will advance to the Northern Plains BEST Regional Championships to be held December 3-5, at North Dakota State University.
More information can be found at http://dubois.psu.edu/best
BEST at Penn State DuBois is made possible by Fairman Family Foundation, Missile Defense Agency, Comtec, Atlas Pressed Metals, Abbot Furnace, Miller Welding, Eastern Sintered Alloys, and Symmco.
