K 4 The new down-link satellte dish fprthe AG'SAT system Is Inspected by, from left, Kathryn Hostetler. Cambria County extension director; Berbers Henderson, Slate Educational Technology Coordinator for AG*SAT; and Dr. Lamartine Hood, dean, College of Agricultural Sciences. The second part of the program Wednesday morning focused on urban and community forestry. Extension foresters are located at the four comers of the state and help communities plan and use their forest resources to best advantage. The conflict between large trees and overhead electric power wires has been an on-going problem for more than 100 years. The new approach is to find varieties of trees that are beautiful but do not con <flict with existing power systems. Charles Olcnik, president of the Cambria Extension (Continued from Pago A 1) FORESTRY The extension urban forester’s job is to help provide technical advice and plans of action for communities who want to increase their use of trees. In addition, extension pro vides workshops and other educational opportunities to communities and volunteer' groups. Another exciting addition to the extension service program comes from what is called AG*SAT. Now with proper down-link capa bilities, educational programs from 46 affil iated institutions in 40 states and two USDA agencies can be received for live input into educational programs or recorded on VCR for future use to supplement additional educa tional programs. The first down-link in Pennsylvania was installed at the Cambria County extension office and has become an integral part of their educational programs. With the system, access to research and educational informa tion is almost unlimited. Some programs have a users’ fee, and others are free and can be picked up on home satelite systems. Now additional down-links are planned for many extension offices across the state to be completed by the end of 1994.

Hood also announced increases in scholar ships, grants, and awards had brought the total in 1993 to $512,774, A total of 340 students have received support from these funds. In reviewing the college future committee recommendations, Hood emphasized the statement that the college will “maintain its traditional committment to meeting the needs of the Pennsylvania food system, refocus family living programs on resource-stressed families and minority audiences, strengthen youth development programs, and enhance capacity to deliver quality educational prog rams that support rural development.” - If the presentations on the program to the Ag Advisory Council at this meeting are indi cative of what is happening in Penn State Extension offices across the state, the implementation of recommendations for the future has already begun now. In the council’s business meeting, Hugh Mac Williams, PA seedmen’s Assn., and Dick Rossman, PA Assn, of Conservation Districts were elected to the second three-year term on the board of directors. Dave Ivan, PA Beef Council, and Bill Nichol, PA Holstein Assn., were, elected to a first three-year term. Earl Fink was elected president; Jay Rush, vice president; and Jack Dteibelbis secretary/ treasurer. Pat Heuser, the new director of industry relations for the College of Agricul tural Sciences, is the liaison between the col lege and the council. Ifrftmtey, Oflobtf County Showcases Pennsylvania Urban and Com munity Forestry Council, said urban forests are one of our most precious resources, but many com munities do not fully enjoy their benefits. “Some community trees arc declining due took! age and impro per maintenance,” Olcnik said. “Wounds from building construc tion, roads, sidewalks and utility lines also help to deteriorate trees. Communities can enhance their trees, grcenspaccs, and urban wild life by implementing a conprchen sivc and sustainable urban forestry management plan.” AG*SAT \m*p J
