KELLY LOUNSBERRY RECOGNIZED BY BOLIVAR, NY FAN PAGE
It's about time the Fan Page put a spotlight on this guy. KELLY LOUNSBERRY retired from his teaching career several years ago to become a workaholic on behalf of the Pioneer Oil Museum and Bolivar in general -- places where he had only been an over-the-top hobbyist for years already.
Since the creation of a museum Board of Directors in 2000, those folks have "taken the Pioneer Oil Museum and run with it!" And Kelly has been the board's boots running on the ground and leading the charge to get things done. The things that have been done have been amazing.
Also amazing is Kelly's energy level. Maybe he keeps it up by sniffing from a sample bottle of local crude oil (as sold for souvenirs at the museum). Whatever the source, it's fired him up to be a major Bolivar booster of his generation. Briefly stated, Kelly has been vice president of the board, chief project pusher and ace funding rustler. In 2018 he was presented a Community Service Award by the Daughters of the American Revolution, prompting a news article that also noted, "He has been instrumental in expanding the museum to include the Hahn and Schaffner complex of display buildings, and he serves as the president of the Bolivar Free Library Board."
And over the years, in his spare (?) time, Kelly has been an amateur archeologist -- locating, preserving and documenting a circa-1650 Native American settlement in the hills near Bolivar.
So if you're in the area and happen to see Kelly, tell him "thanks" for making good things happen in town -- IF you can get him to slow down enough to hear you.

9:06 PM--Patient enroute to Olean General by Ambulance. Air medical not available due to weather.
LAST COFFEE & CONSERVATION SESSION IS WEDNESDAY, FEB. 5 AT LIBERTY
The last free Coffee and Conservation session for farmers and woodland property owners will be from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at the Landing Strip Family Restaurant at 8586 State Route 414 in Liberty.
Those attending will have a chance to connect individually with representatives from six organizations to learn about available programs, funding sources, and educational opportunities. The organizations are: the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Farm Service Agency (FSA), Pheasants Forever, the Tioga County Conservation District, Tioga County Woodland Owners Association and the Tioga County Planning Department.
Attendees at Liberty can get answers to questions related to farm and woodland management projects, such as creating and supporting wildlife on their land or learning about ways to integrate trees with crops and livestock, about Farm Bill programs, and loan and grant opportunities to fund new or existing farming practices.
"Fifteen people attended our first Coffee and Conservation session in Westfield on Jan. 22 and 16 others attended the second session in Tioga on Jan. 24," said Barbara St. John White. In addition, six organization representatives attended on Jan. 22 and and eight on Jan. 24 to answer questions.
"We are very happy with the turnout," said St. John White. "People are getting their specific questions answered and individual attention."
Discussed on Jan. 22 and 24 were the Environmental Quality Incentives, Conservation Stewardship, Conservation Reserve and the Conservation Reserve Enhancement programs, she said.
Among the questions asked was "Are there any opportunities to fund establishment of pollinator or wildlife habitat on my land?" The answer is "Yes. The option might be through the NRCS Conservation Stewardship Program. This program also helps support farm or woodland owners who would like to increase crop resiliency, improve grazing conditions, or conserve fuel in their field or maple operations," St. John White noted.
Another question was "Do I have to be enrolled in an NRCS, FSA, or other agency program in order to receive technical assistance?" The answer is "No. The NRCS staff is glad to help with a conservation plan or provide other assistance to all landowners whether or not they're enrolled," St. John White said.
For more information, email Barbara St. John White of the Tioga County Planning Department at bstjohnwhite@tiogacountypa.us or call her at 1-814-933-6877.
2020 ADULT TROUT STOCKING SCHEDULES NOW AVAILABLE!
Anglers will notice more trophy-sized trout, encouraged to assist with stocking local waterways
HARRISBURG, Pa. (January 31) – Excitement for the spring trout fishing season begins today as the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) is pleased to make its 2020 adult trout stocking schedules available online and on the PFBC’s “FishBoatPA” mobile app.
“Winter may be with us for a little while longer, but this is a great reminder that spring is right around the corner,” said Tim Schaeffer, PFBC Executive Director. “Now is the time to take a good look at the trout stocking schedules, get your gear ready, buy your fishing license, and start planning your opening day fishing adventure.”
View the Schedule Now
Trout stocking schedules can be accessed quickly and easily through the increasingly popular, free FishBoatPA mobile app for smartphones, or at www.fishandboat.com. The schedule is searchable by county, lists the waterways in alphabetical order, and indicates stocking dates and the species of trout that will be stocked. 2020 Pennsylvania fishing licenses are available for purchase online through The Outdoor Shop (www.pa.wildlifelicense.com), or by visiting any of the more than 700 retail license issuing agents across the state. To participate in trout fishing and keep trout, anglers ages 16 and older require both a fishing license and a trout/salmon permit.
“If trout fever is already starting to set in and you’re looking to get outside, we welcome everyone to join us for a stocking event and help put the fish in the water,” added Schaeffer. “Not only is it a fun, educational, and rewarding experience, but it’s also a very big job to pull off every season. We couldn’t do it without our volunteers.”
The PFBC will continue to stock approximately 3.2 million adult trout in 707 streams and 130 lakes open to public angling. These figures, which are consistent with the number of trout stocked over the past decade, include approximately 2.2 million Rainbow Trout; 660,000 Brown Trout; and 360,000 Brook Trout. As with past practice, the average size of the trout produced for stocking is 11 inches in length.
In 2020, anglers will have a better chance than ever before to catch large, trophy-sized trout. This year, the PFBC will stock approximately 60,000 brood fish, which are 2 ½ year-old and 3 ½ year-old hatchery-raised Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, and Brook Trout measuring 14”-20”. The allocation of these large trout will be more than double the allocation in 2019. Roughly 70% of these large fish will be stocked into streams and lakes during the preseason prior to opening days of trout season, and 30% will be stocked during in-season replenishment stockings.
The PFBC will also increase the number of golden Rainbow Trout that will be stocked in 2020. In addition to being stocked during the preseason period before opening day, these highly prized fish featuring vibrant golden-orange pigmentation and weighing an average of 1.5 pounds, will be stocked during in-season replenishment stockings. The allocation of approximately 13,000 golden Rainbow Trout in 2020 exceeds the 2019 allocation (9,500) by roughly 40%. Approximately 80% of golden Rainbow Trout will be stocked during the preseason, and approximately 20% will be stocked in-season.
“The addition of more trophy-sized trout is something every angler can get excited for,” said Brian Wisner, Director of the PFBC Bureau of Hatcheries. “We’ve been able to produce more of these beautiful, large trout at our hatcheries thanks to our talented staff, equipment upgrades, innovations and increased efficiencies in the process. Because we’ll be stocking these fish in many places ahead of the mentored youth days and regular opening days, and then adding more in the weeks after the season opens, everybody has a great chance to catch one of these special trout.”
In addition to trout raised at state fish hatcheries, PFBC cooperative nurseries operated by sportsmen’s clubs across the state will add another 1 million trout to waters open to public angling.
Once again included in this year’s stocking lists are the Keystone Select Stocked Trout Waters, a program where sections of 23 streams across the state are stocked with large 14” - 20” trout and managed under Delayed Harvest Artificial Lures Only catch-and-release regulations. Under the program, approximately 9,600 large trout will be distributed among the streams. The trout will be stocked at a rate of 175 to 225 per mile of stream, which is comparable to the numbers of similarly sized fish in Pennsylvania’s best wild trout waters. Locate Keystone Select waters here.
“What makes the Keystone Select streams and other special regulation waters unique is that you don’t have to wait until the regular opening day to start fishing,” said Eric Hussar, PFBC Board President. “These are catch-and-release areas that are open year-round, so it’s not unusual for many volunteers to spend the morning stocking with us in March before spending the afternoon throwing some lures or fly fishing. It’s a great opportunity.”
Important 2020 Trout Season Dates
The 2020 trout season will officially open Saturday, March 28 with the Regional Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day program in 18 southeastern counties, including: Adams, Berks, Bucks, Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Franklin, Juniata, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton, Perry, Philadelphia, Schuylkill and York.
The following weekend – Saturday, April 4 – kicks off the Regional Opening Day of Trout Season in the same 18 southeastern counties.
A second Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day will be held on April 11, the Saturday before the April 18 regular statewide opening day of trout season.
To participate in the mentored youth program, adult anglers (16 years or older) must have a valid fishing license and trout permit and be accompanied by a youth. Youth anglers must obtain a free PFBC-issued permit, or a voluntary youth fishing license (only $2.90 including all fees). Both are available online or through issuing agents.
For every voluntary youth license sold, the PFBC receives approximately $5 in federal revenue from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Sport Fish Restoration Act program, which provides funds to states based on a formula that includes the number of licenses a state sells. All revenues earned from a voluntary youth fishing license are dedicated to youth fishing programs.
2020 Adult Trout Stocking Program Changes
Each year, the PFBC adjusts its adult trout stocking program based on several factors. A waterway may be added, extended, reinstated or removed depending on existing or pending changes to angler access, changes to designations on streams managed for wild trout populations, water quality issues that may threaten the survival of stocked trout, and maintenance being performed to dams and other infrastructure that result in the drawdown of impoundments or decreased water flow.
Area Waters Added or Extended:
Chapman Dam Reservoir, Warren County
Adult trout stocking will be reinstated at this 68-acre state park lake following the completion of maintenance and repairs to the dam and spillway. The lake will be stocked during the preseason, in-season, and winter stocking periods.
Cold Stream, Centre County
Due to an increase in accessibility, the stocked portion of the stream was extended by 0.3 mile upstream. The revised stocking limits will extend for 1.3-mile from the State Game Lands boundary downstream to the inflow of Cold Stream Dam.
East Fork Sinnemahoning Creek, Potter County
An in-season stocking will be added to the 6.4-mile section of stream extending from Mud Lick Run downstream to the mouth. Formerly, this water was stocked on a preseason only basis.
Area Waters Replaced:
When survey data suggests that a waterway is no longer suitable for adult trout stocking based on a loss of angler access, environmental factors, or designation as a Class A wild trout stream, the PFBC makes every attempt to reallocate fish to a comparable location nearby. When inadequate angler access is the reason for a removal, locations are monitored for improvement, so these waters can be considered for reinstatement to the stocking program if access is improved.
Akeley Run, Warren County
An increase in landowner posting has led to the removal of trout stocking at a 2.3-mile section of stream extending from the confluence of Reynolds and Priest Hollow runs downstream to Widdlefield Run. Formerly, this water was stocked on a preseason only basis. Fish previously stocked in this stream will now be stocked in Jackson Run, Warren County.
Brooks Run, Cameron County
Based on the presence of a Class A wild Brook Trout population, trout stocking will be discontinued in favor of wild trout management on the section of stream extending from the state forest road bridge 1.8 miles upstream of the mouth downstream to the mouth. Formerly, this water was stocked in both the preseason and in-season stocking periods. Fish previously stocked in this stream will now be stocked in First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek, Cameron and Potter counties.
East Fork Sinnemahoning Creek, Potter County
Based on the presence of a Class A wild Brown Trout population, trout stocking will be discontinued in favor of wild trout management on the 3.3-mile section of stream extending from Dolliver Trail downstream to Wild Boy Run. Formerly, this water was stocked in both the preseason and in-season stocking periods. Fish previously stocked in this stream will now be stocked in the following Cameron and Potter county waters: East Fork Sinnemahoning Creek, Section 05, and First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek.
Based on the presence of a Class A wild Brown Trout population, trout stocking will be discontinued in favor of wild trout management on the 1.2-mile section of stream extending from Camp Run downstream to Mud Lick Run. Formerly, this water was stocked on a preseason only basis. Fish previously stocked in this stream will now be stocked in the following Cameron and Potter county waters: East Fork Sinnemahoning Creek, Section 05, and First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek.
