The latest news from the State Capitol |
Discussing the Future of Denton Hill State Park
It was great to see so many people
come out to an open house hosted by the Department of Conservation and
Natural Resources this week to discuss the future of Denton Hill State
Park.
The feasibility study conducted over
the last several months simply reinforces what many of us already know.
Denton Hill is a great asset to our area and it has substantial support
across the community and the region.
I am hopeful that, as officials move
forward with a master plan, we can get funding released to make the
necessary improvements. As I stated at the meeting last night, our state
land generates a great deal of money for the Commonwealth through oil,
gas and timber development. It’s reasonable to expect some of that money
come back here and be invested in our state park.
Ceremony to Recognize Cold War-Era Veterans
Over the years, I have had the honor
of hosting events to recognize groups of veterans who served in World
War II, Korea and Vietnam.
At a ceremony this spring, I will
recognize Cold War-era veterans who served between Sept. 2, 1945, and
Dec. 26, 1991.
To participate in the event, please
register by calling my offices in Bradford (814-362-4400), Coudersport
(814-274-9769) or Kane (814-837-0880), or go online at www.RepCauser.com. Everyone who registers will be contacted with information about the ceremony when it is scheduled.
The event is open to all veterans residing in the 67th Legislative District, which includes Cameron, McKean and Potter counties, as well as their family members.
To veterans who served in the
Persian Gulf conflict or subsequent operations, please know that I wish
to recognize your service as well and will plan to do so at a future
event.
Reminder: Veterans Service Officer in Coudersport
A veterans field service officer
with the American Legion will be available to assist veterans at my
Coudersport office (107 S. Main St.) on Thursday, Jan. 28, from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m.
Assistance with services such as
compensation, education, pension, health care and death benefits is
available by appointment only. To schedule, please call the office at
814-274-9769. Veterans need not be a member of the American Legion to
use the service.
