WANTED: CITIZEN SCIENTISTS WITH CAMERAS
The Pennsylvania Mammal Atlas needs your help.
It’s just before dark and you see an elusive mammal. If you are lucky, you snap a good picture before it takes off. You wonder if others have seen it too. Is it common to find this animal in your county?
Now you can find out.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission and its partners at the Pennsylvania Biological Survey have created a website for just that. When visiting www.pamammalatlas.com you can browse maps, statistics, photographs, and descriptions of each wild mammal species in Pennsylvania. You also can search through photographs submitted by other outdoor enthusiasts.
Consider registering as a volunteer and sharing your own photographs while you are at it. In doing so, you will greatly help biologists working on the Pennsylvania Mammal Atlas.
What is the Pennsylvania Mammal Atlas?
The Pennsylvania Mammal Atlas is a project designed to map the current locations of the 64 wild mammal species found in Pennsylvania.
Atlas projects aren’t a new idea, but this is the first such project for mammals in Pennsylvania.
“The result of this project will be an approximately 10-year snapshot of Pennsylvania wild mammal distributions” said Lindsey Heffernan, a wildlife biologist for the Pennsylvania Game Commission. “While professional biologists will be traveling around the state conducting in-depth surveys, we simply can’t cover enough ground. Citizen scientists will be crucial in helping us to search the entire Commonwealth.”
Why is the Pennsylvania Mammal Atlas Important?
In completing the Pennsylvania Mammal Atlas project, citizens and researchers will gather much-needed information on rare and elusive mammal species. Species distribution maps will be updated, and researchers will have a greater foundation for future projects and a better understanding of where to focus conservation efforts.
“This project is also important long-term, as the world we live in is constantly changing,” Heffernan said. “Climate change, human activities, and population growth are among the list of things that could, and likely will, have some effect on wild animals.
“By creating a repeatable atlas, biologists will have the data they need to analyze those changes in mammal distributions past, present, and future,” Heffernan said.

THIS SATURDAY!!!!!! "Camp Forgotten! "
Camp Forgotten! This movie will be shown Saturday November 14, 2015 from 1-3 PM at the Chamber of Commerce at 34 East 4th street, sponsored by the Cameron County Historical Society
In 1933, during the worst depression the US had ever seen, President Roosevelt created the Civilian Conservation Corps . Over a ten year period, this work relief program employed over three million young men between the ages of 17 to 25. They were placed in camps located in America's wilderness and put to work restoring damaged natural resources. The camps were run by the army, while the work projects were supervised by the Department of Agriculture and interior.
These men fought forest fire, repaired damaged river banks, built parks, planted forests engaging in thousands of conservation projects a legacy we still enjoy today.
Although this film is based in Michigan it mirrors what took place here in Cameron County in our (6) camps that spanned the entire county. Much of our forest that we see today was replanted by them, Sizerville State Park, Three Runs Tower Rd., Jerry Run Rd & Trail, Pepper Hill Foot Trail and constructed telephone lines from Emporium to Sinnemahoning and so much more.
The movie will take about an hour leaving the balance of our time for those who might have local CCC memorabilia they would like to share with the group or possibly descendants of CCCer's who want to share their our personal stories.
We'd love to see ya. Grab a grandparent, another family member or a friend and learn the history behind the CCCers at the Chamber of Commerce in Emporium, Saturday November 14, 2015 1-3 PM.

Dorothy June Johnson Herzog
Dorothy June Johnson Herzog |
She was born July 7, 1925 in Mt. Jewett, PA to Carl E. & Olga E. Johnson. She was the second eldest child in a family of six children. Dorothy and her husband Fred were married in Coudersport, PA on October 28, 1943 and celebrated fifty-two years of marriage together.
Affectionately known as “Dot” to family and friends she was proud of her Lutheran upbringing and the years of serving on the Guild at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Smethport. After raising her children she went back to school, got her GED, and went on to obtain exceptionally high scores on her state board exam to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. Dot was known for her compassion and kindnesses shown to her patients while working at the Bradford Hospital for over twenty years. She often volunteered for the Blood Bank calling and encouraging donors to donate.
“As kids we knew a fun loving Mom who was always the first one ready for a game of baseball, badminton or croquet. She taught herself to sew so she could teach our 4H Club members. She, along with our Dad, were leaders of the Potato Creek Community 4H Club and made a huge impact in the lives of so many young folks interested in wildlife, raising farm animals, outdoor cooking, and everyone enjoyed our many outings that she organized. She was also the most devoted daughter-in-law moving to Grandma and Grandpa’s house on several occasions when they needed her help, after Grandma died Mom carried supper to Grandpa’s house, for years, so he didn’t have to eat alone.

ZYDECO TRAIL RIDERS TO PERFORM NOV. 13 FOR GALLERY MUSIC SERIES
The Zydeco Trail Riders will sing and play Louisiana-style music during the second concert in the Deane Center's Gallery Music Series. |
"The Gallery is an ideal venue to enjoy live music," said Kevin Connelly, Deane Center executive director. "Every musician who has performed there has told us that it is one of their favorite venues. It has a wonderful ambiance, outstanding sound quality and allows the audience to interact with the band. Everyone is seated at tables so they can relax, bring their own favorite snacks and beverages and enjoy the music." Also available are freshly popped popcorn and bottled water.
Greg Grodem started the Zydeco Trail Riders in 2004. He sings and plays three different accordions, two are single-row button accordions and one is a three-row button accordion. Other band members include Jim Reidy on guitar, Ted Oberhaus on bass, Stuart Krasnoff on drums and Sally Freund on rubboard. A variation of a washboard, the rubboard was designed specifically to be used to play Zydeco music. It is made of crimped tin and hangs around the musician’s neck.
Zydeco is a type of folk music that originated in Southwest Louisiana in the late 1800s. This popular blues and dance music is accordion based. “Zydeco became more popular in the late 1980s,” said Grodem. “It’s simple music with a strong rhythm. There are people who think they have not heard it but they have – on TV shows and advertisements, movies and even during the Super Bowl, Summer Olympics and Clinton’s two presidential inaugurations.
“I have been going to Southwest Louisiana since the mid-1990s,” Grodem added. “That’s where I learned how to play the accordion Zydeco style. Back home in New York State, I had put together one group and we played Zydeco sporadically. Then, in 2004, I got more serious about it and formed the Zydeco Trail Riders. Since then, we have performed primarily in the Finger Lakes region of New York State at festivals and nightclubs, wineries and eateries."
The members of the band have known each other for 15 years or more. “When someone quits the band, I ask someone else to join. Ted and I have been in the Zydeco Trail Riders the longest. Stu is our newest member.”
When Grodem needed a guitar player, he asked Reidy to join. He and Reidy are both members of the Cayuga Blue Notes, a trio based near Ithaca, N.Y. This past August, the Blue Notes performed Delta and early Chicago blues from the 1920s to the 1950s at the Warehouse Theatre in Wellsboro.
“I’ve known Sally for years and had performed with her before,” Grodem continued. “She has played this type of music as long as I’ve known her. Sally also teaches Zydeco dancing and sometimes gives a short dance lesson during our shows. The steps are easy to learn.”
Admission is $10 with children 12 and under admitted free with a paying adult. FMI: Call the Deane Center at 570-724-6220.

Pirates abounded at the “Under the Sea” gala held by the Oswayo Valley Senior Center
Pirates abounded at the “Under the Sea” gala held by the Oswayo Valley Senior Center at the Shinglehouse Fire Department on October 7, 2015. One-hundred and forty-five seniors participated in the all-day event from Galeton, Coudersport and the Ulysses Centers.
Activities included information and make and takes from the Oswayo State Fish Hatchery, Oswayo Valley Memorial Library, Teacher’s Pet Rescue, Sweden Valley Manor, the Apprise program, Volunteers That Care and Potter County Animal Assistance Project. Erika Dominick, Education and Outreach Specialist from the Office of Attorney General, spoke on “Scams Targeted at the Elderly.” She shared with the audience that if you don’t know the person on the phone or the solicitor at your door ask for I.D. and information about what they want before letting them into your home.
No one is obligated to purchase any products at any time. If a charitable organization is calling, ask for an ID Source and what actually is the money to be used for and will it happen at your local level. Never give bank or credit card information over the phone, to callers you do not know. Always call your personal bank yourself. Verify who is calling, as sometimes they say a friend or family member is in need of cash assistance. Ask for personal data and have them talk with another family member.
There are many scams for winning a prize, where you need to advance a fee. These are not true offers, especially if the words, “you could be a winner,” are used. The State Do Not Call List is 1-888-777-3406.
