County Line 4-H News!
Hi it is me again with our 4-H group news.
On July 6th we had another 4-H meeting. We met at Ruth's farm. My sister Natale did her demonstration on how to properly handle lambs and show them. Maddie talked about her lamb and
I ate edible berries. Memo to self. Do not eat that many even though it was good. Your belly will regret it later.
We all got to lead the lambs around on halters. Then we gave them a snack for being good. Then we ate snacks and played on the playground while the parents did fair entries. Finally we had 101 on fence building for sheep. The main objective was to keep them in and it worked.
Our next meeting is at the end of the month and we are going to learn how to process rabbits. Also we are going to all agree on our club's pig name. Stay tuned until next time.

New Variant Spreads; Potter County Nears 50% Vaccination Rate
Media attention has turned elsewhere and protective measures have been slipping away, but COVID-19 coronavirus cases continue to be diagnosed in Potter County. Another 36 people tested positive and there was one more COVID-related death over the past three weeks.
Pa. Dept. of Health says the trend is troubling because the numbers only reflect those who have been tested at medical facilities. Results of at-home test kits, which are the preferred option for many, are not included.
DOH also warns that the virus’s latest variant, BA.5, has gained ground. More contagious than previous Omicron variants, BA.5 is now responsible for 54 percent of new cases in the U.S.
Overall there have been 3,406 cases and 93 COVID-related deaths in Potter County. DOH advises those who are showing symptoms of COVID-19 infection to be tested. Among these are fever, chills, muscle pain or body aches, headaches or confusion, difficulty staying awake or waking up, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, congestion or runny nose, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Testing is available at local pharmacies and at UPMC Cole. At-home test kits can be ordered online at covidtests.gov or by calling 1-800-232-0233.
While public health officials continually emphasize that vaccination is the most effective defense against COVID, Potter County’s vaccination rate for those age 6 and older stands at just under 50 percent, with 1,204 people receiving an initial dose and 6,221 receiving one of more booster shots. Pennsylvania’s statewide vaccination rate is 86 percent; just under 70 percent have been fully vaccinated.
UPMC Cole offers the vaccine to eligible individuals at its outpatient offices. UPMC is also offering shots during the Potter County Senior Expo from 10 am to 2 pm on Monday, July 18, at the Coudersport Arboretum. Buchanan Brothers Pharmacy in Coudersport administers the vaccine by appointment; call 814-274-8660. Rite Aid pharmacies continue to book appointments. To access the online reservation form, click here. A detailed summary on vaccines from the respected Johns Hopkins Medicine is available here.

Detour Coming for Box Culvert Work Crossing Tram Hollow Run on State Route 346 in Duke Center in McKean County
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that work to replace a box culvert in McKean County will begin Monday, July 18.
The bridge spans Tram Hollow Run on State Route 346 in Duke Center. Replacing the box will improve its condition from poor to good. This bridge is 40-feet long, dates from 1924 and carries an average of more than 1,000 vehicles daily.
Beginning July 18, the bridge will be closed, and a detour will be in place. The official detour will direct drivers to use Route 246 (Looker Mountain Trail), Route 646 (Summit Road), and Route 346 (Derrick Road). The detour will be in place throughout the project. During the week of July 18, work will be focused on roadway cutting, site clean-up and brushing, setting up erosion and sedimentation controls, and placement of a crane pad. Site excavation work will begin July 25.
This is a partnership project between McKean County PennDOT Maintenance and the L.C. Whitford Company, Inc of Wellsville, New York. PennDOT will do preliminary work, remove the existing structure, perform excavation, place back-fill after the new box culvert is in place, and cleanup. The contractor will set the new box culvert and perform roadway paving. PennDOT expects project completion no later than August 5. All work is weather and schedule dependent.
PennDOT reminds drivers to use caution in work zones, follow official detour signs, obey posted speed limits, and always buckle

Benninghoff Applauds Recent Action on Election Integrity Measures
HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff (R-Centre/Mifflin) Friday applauded recent action taken by the Pennsylvania General Assembly to take significant action to deliver on election integrity.
The House of Representatives Friday passed Senate Bill 982, which gets rid of inequitable and unaccountable “Zuckerbucks” – private money used to fund some of Pennsylvania’s county-run election systems. Instead, the legislation provides state funding that can only be used for enumerated purposes with transparency and reporting requirement
“This bill—passed as part of the overall budget deal—provides landmark funding for our elections and gets rid of third-party financing that was both unaccountable and inequitably distributed, while guaranteeing state appropriations are used appropriately and with accountability,” Benninghoff said.
Benninghoff also said two constitutional amendments passed the House that will enhance election integrity should they be passed by the General Assembly in the next session and be approved by the voters: One amendment would authorize enhanced voter identification requirements and the other would authorize election audits.
“Providing for enhancements to our current voter identification law is a concept that has broad bipartisan support among Pennsylvanians and something the voters themselves should decide upon,” Benninghoff added. “Pennsylvanians can only have faith in their government if they first have faith in the system that elects them. Ensuring our elections are above board with post-election audits furthers that goal and provides for transparency in our elections that will engender more confidence in their outcome.”

Weekend in the Wilds Breaks Records
For the second consecutive year Cameron County celebrated weekend in the wilds July 1 -3 by breaking several records. Organizers say more than 1,000 ducks participated in the Firequacker Duck Derby held Saturday. The fundraiser is hosted by the Cameron County Fireworks committee and with the help of the Emporium Water Company, and Emporium Volunteer Fire Department North Broad Street is flooded so rubber ducks can paddle to the finish line. This year the ducks were cheered on by Susie Singer and her duck Puddles. The winners of the duck race included Lisa Spaid from Johnsonburg, Shelly Peters from Emporium captured second place and third went to Bentlee Dixon from Emporium.
Chamber director Tina Solak says the duck derby was just one of the records broken. At the car show Friday nearly one dozen children competed in the Power Wheel Demolition Derby held at Emporium Food Market and Emporium Ace Hardware parking lots. Food and music greeted car enthusiasts.
More than 60 vendors lined Fourth Street. The number of visitors swelled the downtown Saturday. At least 70 took to the woods to hunt for Big Foot this year. The number of hunters participating continues to grow. The event is a fundraiser for Mountaineer Search & Rescue. Food trucks were added to the firework event Saturday night. Both reporting brisk sales and promising to return next year.
Smoker Insane Terrain Offroad Park took center stage Sunday afternoon with mud barrel racing. More than 600 spectators filed into the event area off Sizer Run Road.
The only event to be canceled was the outdoor movie set for Friday night. A thunderstorm rolled through downtown and forced the movie cancellation.
The success of the event is obvious based on 15 vendors reserving spots for 2023. Weekend in the Wilds will be held June 30-July 2 and include car show, vendors, fireworks and a race at Smokers Insane Terrain Offroad Park.
Local Artist Continuing to Give Back

The former Elk State Forest forester specializes in wildlife and after a visit to the zoo with family, has begun to paint animal portraits of gorillas, tigers, lions and other zoo inhabitants.
Sidelinger expressed concern over funding for the fire department. All sales through the end of the year will be given to the fire department. His originals are available for purchase at the Cameron County Chamber of Commerce & Artisan Center. The facility is open Monday through Friday 10am-4pm and Saturday 10am-2pm.
