STOCKED LAKES PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TO FAST-MOVING CREEKS ON REGIONAL MENTORED YOUTH TROUT FISHING DAY
Following the recent heavy rainfall across much of the Commonwealth, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) cautions anglers that many creeks may be running higher than normal during Regional Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day on Saturday, March 23.
While impacts will vary by waterway, fast-moving and muddy water conditions can make it difficult to fish and reduce the ability to have a successful trout fishing experience. Adult mentors accompanying young anglers should assess water conditions and check for safe streamside access before attempting to fish.
With many creeks impacted, anglers may consider fishing at lakes and other impoundments that have been have stocked with trout. To locate a lake in your area, view the 2019 Trout Stocking Schedule which is searchable by county. All PFBC stocked waters are listed in alphabetical order and indicate when trout stocking has occurred or will occur. Please note, not all waters have been stocked with trout prior to March 23.
Regional Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day takes place in 18 southeastern counties, including Adams, Berks, Bucks, Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Franklin, Juniata, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton, Perry, Philadelphia, Schuylkill and York counties.
To participate, anglers ages 15 and under must obtain either FREE Mentored Youth Fishing Permit or Voluntary Youth Fishing License ($2.90) from the PFBC and be accompanied by an adult licensed angler. Permits and licenses are available at www.gonefishingpa.com and at more than 700 issuing agents. Youth may harvest up to two trout (combined species) with a minimum size of 7 inches. All other Commonwealth Inland Water regulations apply. You can view or download a FREE copy of the 2019 Fishing Summary online.
Adult mentors (anglers 16 years of age or older) must possess a valid Pennsylvania Fishing License and a current Trout/Salmon Permit and be accompanied by a properly permitted or licensed youth (less than 16 years of age). While mentors will be permitted to fish, they are not permitted to harvest trout and must release them unharmed.
Save these dates for the upcoming trout season!
Saturday, March 30 – Regional Opening Day of Trout Season (18 southeastern counties)
Saturday, April 6 – Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day (statewide)
Saturday, April 13 – Opening Day of Trout Season (statewide)

PennDOT Announces Regional Innovations Challenge Winner
Montoursville, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced that a team of students from the Northeast Bradford School District, Bradford County has been selected as the PennDOT District 3 winner for its second Innovations Challenge.
Mentored by Science/STEM teacher Rebecca Folk, team members include: Madison Jochum, Jenna Whaley, Jazmine Elliott and Eryn Nichols.
Since last fall, students have been working hard to solve this year’s challenge, which asked students to look at innovative methods, aside from laws and educational campaigns, that can be developed in the next five to 10 years to get drivers to slow down in work zones.
“Every day, construction workers on Pennsylvania roadways face a dangerous threat in work zones,” said PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards. “Despite increased enforcement efforts, work zone signage and smartphone alerts, drivers continue to commit traffic violations in work zones, which can lead to crashes or tragically someone being killed. We challenged our next generation of leaders to become an active part of the solution by developing innovative ways to tackle this transportation issue.”
The winning regional team’s innovation was the Speed Governor Jammer, a sensor that would limit the speed of a vehicle while traveling through work zones by using a vehicle’s speed governor.
Now in its second year, the PennDOT Innovations Challenge invites high school students in grades 9-12 to use their problem-solving, creative and strategic-thinking abilities to solve real-world transportation challenges. The Innovations Challenge aims to not only help students explore actual transportation challenges that PennDOT is facing, but also open their minds to the very real possibility of working for PennDOT after graduation.
“The PennDOT Challenge give students an opportunity to solve real world problems using critical thinking. Issues presented in this challenge teach collaborative skills that allow students to present their innovative solutions to people who are looking for the answers. Through this process, these young women explored, brainstormed, and developed their solution,” Folk said about the challenge.
Regional winners will now move on to compete in Harrisburg on April 10 for the state championship. The statewide winning team will be awarded $1,500 from the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA) to be divided among team members.

Wellsboro Community Concert Association Presents Brass Roots Trio in Concert on Friday, April 5
Since forming in 2004, the Brass Roots Trio has played to standing ovations and rave reviews in every corner of the United States and at cultural festivals in Switzerland, England, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Costa Rica, Japan, China and Taiwan. Their success is due to their pioneering musical fusion of the piano, trumpet and French horn to create big, symphonic sounds, their artistic passion and adventurous programming.
Blending the classical chamber music genre with contemporary American styles, the trio has created a new sound that transcends traditional boundaries. Their musical trek through classical, baroque, jazz, ragtime, folk and gospel styles has led to a repertoire of hundreds of ingenious original arrangements.
Travis Heath, Rosetta Senkus Bacon and Douglas Lundeen perform an eclectic mix of styles from a baroque duet with piccolo trumpet and horn to jazz-inspired George Gershwin preludes to Astor Piazzolla's sultry tangos and American spirituals. They infuse their music with exuberant energy to create symphonic sounds that melt into sultry jazz. Their commentaries throughout each program are always informative, often humorous and warmhearted and make an immediate connection with the audience.
In addition to performing with the trio, Lundeen is an associate professor of music at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey; Heath is an associate professor of music at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago and director of the Chicago Brass Festival; and Bacon is the director of music at Flemington Baptist Church in Flemington, New Jersey.
Admission at the door is $20 for adults and free for accompanying children 12 and under and $5 for students, 13 to 18. Tickets are available by calling the Deane Center at 570-724-6220 or visiting www.deanecenter.com or www.wellsborocca.org.

Ultimate Robin Williams Tribute is Wednesday, April 3
Roger Kabler is pictured as Robin Williams |
For the past three years Kabler has been performing for audiences around the country. The show features mostly original material and portrayals of iconic Williams comedy bits.
Kabler literally becomes Williams, resurrecting his facial expressions, his voice, speech patterns, mannerisms and his manic energy.
"You don't have any idea how difficult it is to do this act," Kabler said to a reporter. "It's mentally and physically exhausting. And I feel like Robin is there saying 'Do you have any idea how hard it is to come back to life? Especially in your body?'"
Known for his impressions of many celebrities, Kabler has established himself as one of the industry's top Robin Williams impressionists, having taken on the mercurial comic legend's persona for decades.
Kabler began impersonating Williams when he was 17 while watching the star in “Mork & Mindy." That TV show ran from September 1978 to May 1982. He has been refining his impersonation of Williams ever since.
During the 1980s and 90s, Kabler appeared on a variety of late night shows. He was a regular on the last Carol Burnett series in 1991 and starred in a short-lived 1992 NBC sitcom, “Rhythm and Blues.” In the 1990s, he also served as spokesman for Zima in national television commercials and wrote, produced and starred in the award-winning 2002 film about a guy who gets lost in his impersonations.
In 2003, Kabler retired from comedy and began to focus on his passion, a career as a painter. After Williams passed away in August 2014, people began to ask if he was going to do a Williams tribute. “I told them I was retired,” Kabler said. “My career in the business had crashed and burned.
"But then I started feeling Robin all around me going, ‘Let’s get back to work.’ I thought ‘What’s wrong with me?’ I’m doing his voice saying things like ‘Tanya Harding put the limp in Olympics.’ I kept hearing him tell me he wanted to get back to work. Robin had so much love and good will. It felt right to bring him back and, in a way, keep him alive," Kabler said.
"When I am onstage as Robin, I truly feel his presence. My goal, every single time is to bring the joy and exuberance of the Robin Williams we know. He's a magical being with a great spirit," said Kabler.
“He had 30 years of hysterical comedy and brilliant acting and I think that’s what he wants to be remembered for. I personally enjoy playing him because I love him.”
Tickets are $25 and $22 for seniors. To purchase tickets, call the Deane Center at 570-724-6220 or visit www.deanecenter.com.

Capitol Update by Rep. Martin Causer
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
It is always a pleasure to take part in the Potter County Conservation District’s annual legislative luncheon. The district staff do a great job on a wide variety of conservation projects across the county. During the meeting, we discussed a number of state issues, including budget funding for conservation districts statewide. We also discussed the importance of keeping the impact fee in place rather than imposing a severance tax on natural gas drilling, as many of the conservation district’s successful projects are funded by impact fee proceeds. We need that money to stay local rather than going back to Harrisburg. |

Meeting with Area FFA Students
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
It was great to see Headwaters FFA students from Northern Potter High School at the annual FFA breakfast in Harrisburg earlier this week. This is a great organization that helps prepare our kids to succeed both personally and professionally...and we hope to see many of them carrying on the great traditions of Pennsylvania agriculture! We are pictured with Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding, PA State Rep. Clint Owlett and Adviser Lacey Miles. |

A Closer Look at the PA Farm Bill
A comprehensive, $24 million PA Farm Bill proposed by the Wolf Administration was the focus of a joint House and Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee hearing on Wednesday at the state Capitol. As chairman of the House committee, I appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the plan from Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding. We all agree the additional focus being placed on our state’s top industry is warranted. Agriculture is a vital contributor to our economy with a more than $135 billion annual economic impact and 580,000 direct and indirect jobs. But it’s also clear we need to assess the costs and benefits of the governor’s plan and prioritize the elements that could make a definitive difference for our farmers across the state. During the hearing, I questioned Secretary Redding about the call for an additional $5 million for the Dairy Investment Program -- certainly a worthwhile program -- when the $5 million we put toward that program as part of last year’s budget still has not been distributed by the Wolf Administration. Dairy producers are struggling to stay afloat, and grants that could help them are being held up by bureaucracy. I also expressed concern about the price tag of the overall proposal and the governor’s decision to eliminate funding from his budget plan for several proven programs in the Department of Agriculture, including funding for hardwoods research and development. Several committee members raised concerns about another element of the proposal to provide $1.6 million in funding for a PA Preferred Organic Initiative to make the Commonwealth the nation’s leading organic state. Many of us have heard from non-organic farmers concerned that the plan would pit different types of farmers against one another or put them at a competitive disadvantage. It’s still not entirely clear how the administration would address those concerns if the program was implemented. One of the most important parts of the plan I have supported and that received praise during the hearing from other members is the effort to strengthen our ag workforce for current and future generations. This is vital to ensure our Commonwealth’s agriculture industry continues to grow and evolve for years to come. To watch the hearing, click here. |

Setting Up Students for Career Success
The initiatives are a cornerstone of the House Republican Caucus’ #GoodJobs4PA initiative aimed at ensuring all Pennsylvanians have access to good-paying jobs and careers. To help students plot their path to success, there are bills that would allow technical schools to recruit students like colleges do; make it easier for students to see where credits transfer; create a database of workforce development programs at secondary and post-secondary institutions; create an online career resource center; and allow students who complete classes in STEM education to apply the credits to a course through a vocational-technical school, technical institution or vocational school. The package is also aimed at improving business and education partnerships by creating a CTE investment incentive program, requiring CTE programs to establish advisory committees and having at least once administrator from a CTE center on each of the state’s Workforce Development Boards. The bills now go to the Senate for consideration. Learn more about #GoodJobs4PA here. |
