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.

Cambria
Extension

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.
In a report to the Council, Dean Lam Hood
reported that enrollment in the PS College of
Agricultural Sciences has increased by SIS
students over the fall term of last year. Enroll
ment this fall is 2.53 S students.
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.

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.”
