West Creek Recreational Trail Association

At a brief ceremony recently, members of the Board of Directors of the West Creek Recreational Trail Association installed a directional map at the St. Marys trail head on West Creek Road. The map was designed by Mickayla Poland from PA Made, of St. Marys, and provides location and mileage information to help visitors to the Trail plan their trail experience. A similar map will also be installed at the trail head in Emporium. Mickayla also designed and produced leaflet maps that describe the trail and offer suggestions on its use. The leaflets will be available at tourist information locations around the area. The map project was supported by a grant from the Elk County Commissioners through the Elk County Community Foundation. The photo shows members of the Board of Directors of the Trail Association, Roger Young, Jesse Cunningham, Jude Weis, Tom Wagner and Bob Kirschner, with Mickayla Poland, owner of PA Made. Directors not present were Cliff Clark, Dave Greene, Jeff Ream and Tina Johns Solak

After the ceremony, the Board also viewed the newly-installed bridge across West Creek. The bridge will improve access to the trail parking lot and help to alleviate flooding issues for neighboring properties. The bridge was designed by J Ream Engineering Consultants of Emporium and funded through grants from the Elk County Community Foundation, the Elk County Commissioners, Seneca Resources and the George A. and Margaret Mee Foundation. It was installed by Northpoint Contracting of Emporium. 

The West Creek Trail is a publicly funded multi-use trail. It is open to the public for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter season and walking, hiking and bicycling during all seasons. More information is on the West Creek Trail Facebook page.

Meet Remote Workers

 

Meet Remote Workers
A committee operating under the direction of the Cameron County Chamber of Commerce had the task of sifting through 41 applications for the PA Wilds Remote Working project. “The committee focused on those ready to relocate and seeking the opportunity to leave big box stores and strip malls behind,” says chamber director Tina Solak. 

 PA Wilds indicated five applications should be selected, but the committee has opted to bring six to Cameron County for a month longstay in July. Two are single, two have significant others, and two have children. Their remote jobs range from engineering to self-employed. They are coming from Massachusetts, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Carlisle areas.

Over the next three weeks, we will introduce you to those arriving in July.

 Brent Whiting is from Lansdale and works at Temple University as the executive director for information systems. Brent will be joined by his wife who is an artist/crafter, three children and 2 dogs. Brent has spent time in Tioga County at a family cabin and has “often talked about moving to a rural area of the state”. The family are active volunteers in the Lansdale area. 

 Joni Bryan is from Westhampton Massachusetts and will be bringing her spouse and their dog named Denton. Joni owns her own company and designs and implements database solutions for nonprofit organizations. Joni has a passion for the military, as she followed in her fathers’ footsteps, and her son is currently serving in the United States Navy. In her free time, Joni rides motorcycles, reads, cooking and describes herself as an amateur anthropologist. Jace is a salesforce administrator with No Red Ink and has been a member of the NASA team for the Mars Rover project.

CC Historical Society Releases "The 1860 Journal of Thomas Hollen Circuit Riding Minister"

Rev. Hollen's Circuit 
click on photo to enlarge view  

The 1860 "Original" Journal of Thomas Hollen Circuit Rider Minister Presented by Cameron County Historical Society Pre-orders are now being accepted for a donation of $15 +$5 if you need it shipped.

Do you ever wish you could take a peek into the past to see how our ancestors lived? Unfortunately, they haven’t invented a time machine to transport us to the past.

But, thanks to Phil Burkhouse and Jim McCarrier we can travel through time, in the form of hand written records they preserved and donated to the Cameron County Historical Society.

The records were from the “Journal of Reverend Thomas Hollen” who was a circuit riding minister for the communities of Cameron and parts of Elk County during January 1, 1860 to February 20, 1861. The “Journal” records his visits to preach in homes, schools houses, churches and revivals. He visited the sick and performed marriages and funerals for his congregations. He helped settle disputes in families, and gave a hand to farmers, lumber rafters and anyone else who needed help.

As he traveled his circuit he stayed and dined with members of the congregations and enjoyed their hospitality. His life was difficult requiring traveling long distances weekly and being called out in all kinds of weather. He lived near the Pine Street Cemetery and Mission.

The journal itself was hard to transcribe; it was handwritten, and the spelling was based on phonics. We wished to keep original spelling which, in itself, was worth the effort in spite of that modern “irritable spell check”.

So, about 18 months later we now have our “peek” into the lives of our ancestors. Come and join us in visiting and learning about these families on Rev. Hollen’s circuit. Follow the map on the back cover of the book to locate some of the families. An index of over 100 ancestors will lead you quickly to your own relatives and some of our original pioneers that he came know.

Included along with the “Journal” are stories about some of the families and locations of interest. Did you know there was a “Grindstone Bridge” in Huntley? There was also a “Grindstone Narrows” on Bennett’s Branch of the Sinnamahoning Creek. Cowley Run was named for” Zenus Cowley” find out what unusual method he used to catch a mountain lion. Sterling Run once had the Indian name “Kikeos” and Emporium was once called Shippen. What we now call Winslow Hill was formerly called Mount Pleasant.

We invite you to come take this “Journey Through Time” on a visit with the circuit riding minister Reverend Thomas Hollen. A rare peek into our past and a record of their time among these wonderful mountains many of us call home.

Checks can be made out to the Cameron County Historical Society and sent to PO Box 433, Emporium, PA 15834.

Library has loads of programs, contest, and events for all ages this summer

The Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library has so much to look forward to this summer! In addition to our ever-expanding Summer Reading Program, the library has lots of contests, programs and fundraisers for everyone this summer.

June will be full of color as we launch our Name the Worm contest. As some may know, the children’s section of the library was recently named the “Anna English Youth Area” and the bookworm on the signage needs a name. Going now through July 1, the contest is open to children ages 5-12 and each participant will get their own bookworm plush.

Complete the coloring sheet available online and at the library and choose a name for our newest library friend (the worm). Completed coloring sheet and attached form should be submitted to the library no later than Saturday, July 1, 2023.

Winner will be chosen by blind poll (online and in newspaper) and announced July 21. The winner will receive a gift card to Sheetz courtesy of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services and an Amazon gift card from the library.
 Beginning June 12, the library will once again offer their Summer Snack Attack program. Children ages 2-18 are welcome to come by the library once a day and get a free snack pack. Each pack consists of a juice and a small snack. Limit one snack pack per child per day. No registration or signup is needed and snacks will be made available through August. 

The library has another set of computer and iphone classes coming June 27 at 11 am and 12 pm in partnership with the Community Education Center. Each class is only $10 and you can register directly with the CEC by calling 814-781-3437. They will also be hosting a Medicare workshop July 20 from 1-3 pm and there will be more details released about that program later in June. 

Another big book sale will also be coming your way in conjunction with Weekend in the Wilds, June 29, 30 and July 31 during regular library hours. We will have loads of books, magazines, puzzles, DVDs, and CDs. As always, items are sold on a donation basis, so just give what you can by placing money in the donation boxes made available throughout the sale. 

The Friends of the Library will also be holding their annual membership drive throughout the summer. If you have not donated in recent years, but would like to be added to their mailing list to support the library, please contact Library Staff at 814-486-8011 or by emailing info@barbaramoscatobrownlibrary.org and ask to be added to the Friends of the Library mailing list. You can also volunteer your time by completing the volunteer registration form at https://barbaramoscatobrownlibrary.org/friends/. 

Also coming this summer, we will have Kanopy video streaming services, offer a community puzzle, bring back our Teen Dissection Camp in August, launch new library items and loads more.

Library Summer Reading Program Starting Soon

The 2023 Summer Reading Theme is All Together Now and the Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library is rolling out even more events and fun activities this year!

 In spirit of the program theme, the library will begin a “Lend a Helping Paw” donation drive for the local SPCA. 
The Library will have 3 in-person programs including our big end-of-program party in late July with a special guest performer for those registered for Summer Reading, plus, lots of fun take-home crafts, activities, and prizes.

 Registration is open now through June 23, and you can register online by going to barbaramoscatobrownlibrary.org and locating the Summer Reading program under our “Library Programs” tab. Parents and guardians, along with their children, can also come in and register for the Summer Reading Program in person anytime during the library’s regular service hours. 

Lend a Helping Paw donation drive will launch June 5 and will continue through August 31, 2023. Bring your donation items to the library during regular hours and place in the marked bin. CAM Co SPCA’s Wish List includes: paper towels, wet and dry food for kittens, cat treats, powdered milk for kittens, non-toxic cleaners, and small cat toys. 

This year, we’re starting off the Summer Reading Program with a very special kickoff event on June 23 at 4:30 pm with special guest, area author, John Schlimm. We will create a special piece of communal art, share stories, and enjoy some walking tacos. This will also be the last chance to submit registration forms for Summer Reading. 

The reading portion of the Program runs for the 5-week period from Monday June 26, through Saturday, July 29. The end-of-program party will be held the same day. We will also host a mid-event Chalk the Walk program with help from ADAS where kids will make their own chalk and create a “chalk walk” outside the library. 

Reading requirements are simple and every effort is made to adjust to a family's summer schedule of vacations and other summer events. Students along with their parents or guardians set their own reading goals as to the number of books they will read each week during the Summer Reading Program. 

Those participating can visit the library for their reading logs at any time. Encouraging youngsters to read over their summer vacation is the aim of the Summer Reading Program. There is no contest to see who can read the greatest number of books. EVERYONE who completes the Summer Program and fulfills their reading goals will be invited to a special party (along with some great surprises) at the conclusion of the Program.

 For more details, or to register find the “Library Programs” tab at www.barbaramoscatobrownlibrary.org or call the library at 814-486-8011.

Military Banners Replaced in Emporium



Earlier this week, the Sylvan Heritage Council and the Emporium borough crew, replaced 18 military banners in downtown Emporium. Two additional military banners were retired. As you may see from one of the photos, the sun and weather take their toll on these banners. We thank all those involved for their continued support of this program. A big thank you goes out to borough crew members, Bill Wiltrout, Anthony Putt and Mike Moscato for their help.

I would like to share this wonderful video created by Emporium native Kent Riegel. Kent created the attached video to beautifully showcase Emporium's military banner program. A total of 188 banners grace the streets of Emporium with pride.( Since the publication of this video, some military banners have been retired and some added.) We are so thankful for the huge amount of time and effort that went into making this for everyone to enjoy and share. Thank you Kent, truly. We are grateful.

One of the Sylvan Heritage's most important and impactful projects to date has been the establishment of our Military Banner Program. Introduced in 2015, the project has involved different rounds of sales, resulting in an incredible 188 banners flying proudly on the streetlights of virtually every street in Emporium, honoring our local military personnel and veterans. We partnered with our local graphics company, Art & Ink, who digitized each photo and created the layout, then sent them on for fabrication. The Emporium Borough streets crew hangs and diligently maintains them for us.

As we did earlier this year, on any day, the Sylvan Heritage Council invites you to take a walk or a drive around Emporium and view our 188 military banners! Some of them memorialize a veteran who paid the ultimate price for his country. Take a look for the others and, when you find them, say a humble thank you. The banners stretch from the west to east end bridges and from Second to Sixth Streets. On this day and every day, Cameron County is military proud and strong!

PA Wilds Remote Workers Coming To Cameron County

PA Wilds Remote Workers Coming To Cameron County

 PA Wilds, the Cameron County Chamber of Commerce and Emporium Foundation announcing an economic program for Cameron County. The Wilds are Working recruits those already working remotely to come to the county for the month of July. The project anticipated to pump more $30,000 into the economy for one month. “This economic boost comes directly to locally owned businesses in the county,” explains chamber of commerce executive director Tina Solak. 

The six families will stay in apartments, houses or Airbnb rentals starting June 30. Each family will be given a $1200 gift card that can only be spent at businesses that have signed up with the PA Wilds Yiftee Gift Card program. The chamber has been securing the registration for those businesses in anticipation of the remote workers arriving. So far nearly will accept the unique card.

“It is hoped that those coming will consider relocation,” explains Solak. The committee also hopes to hear constructive input on what was enjoyable, and what can be done to attract more workers or business to the county. Many of those in the program, will be using personal blogs, and social media to document their experience living in Cameron County.

Another benefit of the program is the nationwide exposure to Cameron County. “The PA Wilds marketed Cameron County to attract applicants,” Solak says. A video will be produced documenting the county along with window advertisements which will be installed in June. The window clings feature images from Eventide Photography and highlight the school system, outdoor recreation and other amenities that can be found in Cameron County. The businesses that will have the window clings include Emporium NAPA, C&N Bank, the former Emporium Hardware, Mountain Laurel Federal Credit Union, Emporium Food Market, Cameron County Nutrition, Aroma CafΓ©, Cameron County Chamber of Commerce, and The Willows Restaurant.

CC Farmers Market Introduces Freeze Dried Emporium

Cameron County Farmers Market 

 Only two more days to go until market day and we have a couple of new vendors to introduce you to. But first let’s welcome back a fan favorite from last year; Tasha VanSickle with Freeze Dried Emporium! 

 Yes, she’s back! I know that those of you that have tried her scrumptiously addictive freeze-dried treats will be very excited to hear that she will be joining us again this season! She was a big hit last year with her assortment of goodies, including freeze-dried caramels, taffies, chocolates and strawberry cheesecake bites or, for the savory lovers among you, she also made various freeze-dried vegetables, dill pickles and grilled cheese bites.

 This year she will be offering all of those again but has also added a new line of yumminess to get your tastebuds drooling. You will have to pop by her stall to check out what deliciousness she has conjured up for you this year! 

In coming markets she will also be adding cotton candy, home-made fluffy marshmallows and peanut brittle to her expanding menu so make sure to visit often to see what’s new every week. 

Tasha will once again be selling the popular PA Hickory Syrup as well.

 Tasha is helped in her endeavors by her industrious family. Her husband and kids are only too happy to roll up their sleeves and pitch in to help, making this a true family-run business. They have an ever expanding on-line store and sell their products nationwide. If you are just visiting our area and would like to order on-line you can find them at www.freezedriedemporium.com.

 And if you get a craving in between market days you can also find their products at the Cameron County Artisan Center, Quail Hill Soap Co in St. Mary's, and Cream N' Sugar in Coudersport. 

 We are thrilled to welcome Tasha back to the market!
