    RTS for Wednesday

    FIRST PEEPS: Stop the presses! Mike Blair phoned Tuesday
    afternoon to make the first “official” peeper report of year 2007.
    He heard the peeping in Custer City. Mike tells us he also had the
    first peeper report in 2006 so he either has good hearing, or is
    quick to the phone.

    GOOD QUESTION: Sara of Crosby has a question: “Whatever happened
    to the Good Samaritan?”

    She elaborates, “The other day as we sat for a red light, we
    noticed something in the road. Ten to 15 cars went around it, so we
    thought it must have been someone’s garbage. We, sadly, drove
    around it, too, but I glanced out the passenger window, and I
    noticed it was a man with a cane who had slipped and fallen.”

    “We stopped and turned on our flashers. Some driver stopped
    right behind us and asked why we stopped – they didn’t see the man
    in the road! My husband and stepson helped him up, and he headed
    for his doctor’s office.

    “How awful it is that no one stopped to help the poor man!”

    THAT EAGLE: Sharon Rosenswie of Port Allegany on Monday writes,
    “My brother-in-law, my sister and I were on our way to Olean from
    Port Allegany Saturday afternoon on the Barnum Road outside of
    Eldred. I looked over at the ‘swamps’ to watch the geese and there
    was the most beautiful sight. A bald eagle perched in a tree. When
    he flew, his wing span must have been six feet. We sat and watched
    him for probably 20 minutes as he flew from one end of the swamp to
    the other. Tried to get a picture but our camera phone wouldn’t
    work. Absolutely beautiful and amazing.”

    We can’t help but wonder if this is the same eagle spotted by
    several of readers in that area.

    OIL BOOM: Neil Hoffmier writes, “Met a ‘fellow Bradfordian’ in
    the Orlando airport yesterday who mentioned that McKean County
    (Bradford in particular) is being ‘ravaged’ by oil well drilling …
    Dirt roads to many new wells with tanker trucks hauling oil
    ‘somewhere.'”

    “Apparently this new drilling is NOT benefiting anyone up there?
    Question: Is this true? Who is doing the drilling? Where is the oil
    going? And assume drilling is ‘rotary tools’ and wonder what
    depth.

    “Maybe I should cancel my proposed visit in June and remember it
    like it was in the ‘good old days’?”
