Rotary News Guest Speaker Louis Costanzo

 

Emporium Rotary Club 
 Rotarian John Andrus hosted this week's program having Louis Costanzo, owner of Costanzo Offroad in Emporium, as his guest speaker. Louis, president of the ATV Association, gave an update on what the association is doing and working on. Louis has been active with the association for about 3 years trying to help encourage local and state governments to allow an acquired ordinance to open up access on the Cameron County trails.
 ATV riding is a widely used recreational sport and adding Cameron Country trails to the connecting Elk and Potter County trails would help increase revenue to local businesses. Permits and insurance is required and guidelines with rules will be provided to all drivers to keep residence and forest lands safe from abuse and misuse. Louis gave a very informative talk and many questions were asked. Attending this week's meeting was Tina Palmer, sister and guest of Rotarian Karen Jiang.

CC Fair Update


 

Public Service Announcement, Per DEP

Nearby News 
Cameron County is not listed as a county that participates in this program 

 

Elk County (PA) Conservation District 
 Public Service Announcement, per DEP: An aerial black fly (gnat) suppression operation is scheduled for Tuesday, May 19, 2026 and Wednesday, May 20, 2026 on the Allegheny River, Clarion River, West Branch Susquehanna River, Conewango Creek, Brokenstraw Creek, Tionesta Creek, French Creek, Sandy Creek, Sugar Creek, and Oil Creek. 

This operation will begin in Clearfield County at 7:00 A.M. on the West Branch Susquehanna River. 
The direction of the spray operation will be determined during operations and will be based on weather and flight conditions over the two days. This aerial application will include flights in Clearfield, Elk, Clarion, Butler, Armstrong, Forest, Jefferson, Venango, and Warren Counties. The helicopter will be a Bell 206L3 with the tail number N53702 and is painted white and blue and red stripes.

 Helicopter Applicators Inc. will be dispersing Vectobac 12AS, which is a Bti product manufactured by Valent Biosciences. Bti is short for Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis, which is a bacterial larvicide, not a chemical, and is the only product used in Pennsylvania's waterways for black fly suppression. Vectobac 12AS is a thick liquid that is brown in color that quickly disperses when applied to the water. The helicopter will fly low near tree top level and will release the material at various predetermined locations on each river. More information can be found here:
