The Keystone State's Cial Boating Magazine
The Keystone State's cial Boating Magazine • VIEWPOINT BOATING ACCESSES On June 20, 1986, the Fish Commission formally opened a new boat launching area at the site of the old Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia. This opening was the culmination of years of effort to provide a place for residents of southeastern Pennsylvania to launch their boats onto the Delaware River. Declared surplus by the federal government in 1981, the Commission received title to approximately 19 acres of waterfront property. A design for an area that would eventually accommodate 350 car/trailers was developed. Construction was scheduled to be accomplished in phases, and the first two phases were completed this spring. The area currently has room for 190 car/trailers and has three two-lane launch ramps and courtesy boarding docks. Twenty-four-hour security has been provided on the site, although the area is currently closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Reports indicate that this much needed access is receiving the use that was expected and will in future years become a very important part of boating in Philadelphia. While this access and others under construction in Cowanshannock in Armstrong County and Chillisquaque in Northumberland County are meeting some local needs, a recently completed conference of state and federal agencies involved in the development of boat launches and marinas held in Detroit has concluded that good boating facilities are sorely needed in many areas. It is estimated that there are currently about 16,000 public launch sites nationwide. The phenomenal growth in boating recreation, however, will place demand on facilities to quadruple the number of sites currently available by the year 2000.

Bald Eagle State Park
Bald Eagle State Park Native Plant and Early-Successional Stage Habitat Restoration Project Cooperating Agencies: Bald Eagle State Park Native Plant and Early-Successional Stage Habitat Restoration Project Prepared by: Joel Rosak U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 315 S. Allen Street State College, PA 16801 With assistance from: William Palmer - Pennsylvania Game Commission Jim Barr and Steve Volgstadt - Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Mark Banker - Ruffed Grouse Society Dave Putnam, Kelly Williams, Shawna Barry, Adam Smith – U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2 Bald Eagle State Park Bald Eagle State Park lies in the Bald Eagle Valley in Centre County, Pennsylvania. The Park, as well as the valley, creek, and mountain in this area were named after Chief Bald Eagle (Chief Woapalanne in his native tongue), a well-known chief of the Lenni Lenape Nation. He and his tribe inhabited the areas near Milesburg during the mid 1700’s (Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources 2002). Bald Eagle State Park lies on 5,900 acres developed adjacent to the Foster Joseph Sayers Dam. On July 4, 1971, the Bureau of State Parks signed a forty-year lease with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (C.O.E) for the use of the 5,900 acres. Since 1971, the Bureau of State Parks has been solely responsible for the capital development of the land (Pennsylvania Game Commission 1998). Parts of the 5,900 acres, located on both the north and south sides of the lake, are leased to the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Bald Eagle State Park offers a wide selection of recreational opportunities such as picnicking, camping, hunting, fishing, swimming, boating, water skiing, ice fishing, ice skating, cross country skiing, sled riding, and tobogganing.

UPLIFT Newsletter M Ay 2 0 19
The United Presbyterian Church of Blairsville, PA UPLIFT Newsletter M ay 2 0 19 It was the day after Easter. Bobbi and I ran into a friend at Rite Aid. “So, you’re out getting your medicine?” he asked. “No” I replied, “I’m out getting my discounted chocolate candy.” To some, Easter is about receiving the power of God that renews us and makes us whole. To others, its about getting a cheap sugar high. To some its about resounding the Alleluias. To others its about an eyeful of pastel col- ors and a nose-full of fragrant blooms. But whatever it is, it sadly seems to eventually fade. There were those four glorious years of my childhood (before my sister was born) that I had the delight of being the only grandchild. Grandma doted on her “honey boy” and Pappy Moe spoiled me rotten. Each Easter, he would buy a dozen or so little chicks that had been dyed pink and yellow and blue and green. I would giggle and bounce as they ran around me. But within a couple days all the chicks would die (probably from the coloring that had been put on their feathers) and all I was left with was a memory. One place we get it wrong is when we think of Easter as a one day celebration—God’s victory neatly packed into a twenty-four hour box. According to our liturgical calendar, Easter is a season fifty days long in which we celebrate the forty days Jesus spent time with the disciples, then ascended into heaven and the faithful waited patiently for the coming of the Spirit.
