CATA GO allows riders to schedule real-time pickups at their residence in Cambridge Springs and as well as at designated CATA GO stops in the four boroughs via a smartphone app or by calling CATA. An Americans with Disabilities Act-accessible CATA GO van will arrive within 10 to 15 minutes after a trip is scheduled.
Fare for a one-way trip within the Cambridge Springs area is $1.50, while the fare for a one-way trip between Cambridge Springs and Saegertown, Venango or Edinboro is $2. Children under age 6 ride free, as do senior citizens age 65 and older with a PA Senior Transit Card.
Designated stops in Saegertown are H&H Market and Saegertown Public Library; in Venango, Karl Gerdon Park and the Venango Borough Building; and in Edinboro, CVS, Lakeside Commons and Walmart.
The new CATA GO service from Cambridge Springs also can connect passengers to Meadville. It connects with CATA's Saegertown Lifeline Route at Saegertown Public Library and H&H Market. CATA's Saegertown Lifeline runs five days a week between Saegertown and Meadville. Once in Meadville, a rider is able to access CATA's Meadville fixed route bus system.
Cambridge Springs is the second CATA GO on-demand service in Crawford County.
'We have had great success with CATA GO in Titusville since its launch in July 2023 and we think we will have the same success in this new service area,' said Tim Geibel, CATA's executive director. 'We are pleased to have the ongoing support of Meadville Medical Center, Crawford County and (the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation) to launch this new service.'

$10 million project closed popular WA park for a year. When will it reopen?
From family picnics to enjoying the beach, Kopachuck State Park near Gig Harbor is known for its scenic views. Since June 3, 2024, the park has been closed for a $10 million renovation. The team is now in the final stretch of that project, and hopes to reopen the park in August. The renovations include a welcome center, community meeting hall, a new playground and a space for outdoor learning. Of existing components, there will be improved parking lots, restrooms, increased accessibility for people with disabilities and enhanced pathways to the beach. Roads and utilities will also be upgraded. An outdoor amphitheater was built in the upper day-use area of the park, Washington State Parks spokesperson Meryl Lassen said. Wooden ramps and stairs were also added across the park in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. That means the beach, amphitheater and other amenities will be more accessible for visitors. Crews discovered in 2011 that 80% of the trees in the park's campground were infected with a fungus called laminated root rot, according to the Kopachuck State Park website. After further research, park officials decided to close the campground area permanently for safety reasons. In 2014, Washington State Parks created a master plan to improve the day-use area of the park, Lassen said. Ten years later, construction began. Lassen described the lengthy process as 'playing the long game.' Obtaining permits and funding slowed the process. It's a state-funded project, and the total contract amount is $9,956,107.06. Lassen said some residents have expressed concern over the years about the loss of trees and the modernization of the park taking away from its natural environment. 'Our mission is to preserve and maintain parks for generations to come,' Lassen said. 'Our commitment is not just their immediate recreation value, but also their long-term health and sustainability.' She said officials will announce a reopening date when the project is further along, possibly in mid-July.

Internet Unprepared for TSA Agent's Response to Dog at Airport
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A video of a dog getting a "full pat down" by a TSA (Transportation Security Administration) official at the airport has gone viral on TikTok. The clip, captured on May 18, was shared by @matthewandpaul and has had three million views since it was posted on May 21. Text overlaid on the clip says: "Guide dog getting full pat down by airport security." The video shows Paul Castle, who is from Seattle, Washington, at the airport security check area with his guide dog Mr. Maple. Castle, who is legally blind and has less than five percent of his vision remaining, was born with a rare eye disease known as Retinitis Pigmentosa. "Mr. Maple always gets a pat down at the airport due to the metal in his harness," Castle told Newsweek. The viral clip shows Mr. Maple walking through a metal detection device, with Castle waiting at the other side of it, standing beside a TSA agent. The agent is seen gently patting his hands around the pup's face and body. A caption shared with the post says: "Should we call it a 'pet down'?" Castle, who got Mr. Maple from Guide Dogs for the Blind in Oregon, has had his guide dog for four years. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) website of the U.S. Department of Justice, service animals are defined as dogs of any breed and size that are "trained to perform a task directly related to a person's disability." Service animals are not "required to be certified or go through a professional training program" or "to wear a vest or other ID that indicates they're a service dog," the website notes. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) notes that "airlines are required to recognize dogs as service animals and accept them for transport on flights to, within and from the United States." Viewers on TikTok were delighted by the guide dog in the viral clip, with some wondering why the dog needed to get a full pat down at the airport. Søren B Madsen 🇩🇰 asked "What can a dog hide?" and @wordsofnonsense said "where would he hide something." DamselWithoutDistress wrote: "TSA looking for a secret pocket in his fur?" Eris_christina noted' "definitely suspicious, Mr Maple was bribing the TSA with those kisses." Jaimie Moore wrote: "I feel like the security man just wanted an excuse to pet maple." 1KCA1 said: "Any excuse to pet the pups!!!" A stock image of a Labrador held on a leash in an airport setting.

Exciting adventures await at 4-H camp Bristol Hills this summer
CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. (WROC) — After 36 hours of beautiful weather across the region, many are looking ahead to the summer months – and for some families, that means planning for summer camp, where kids can get outside and make the most of the season. 4-H Camp Bristol Hills is all about connecting with nature, offering a wide variety of programs for campers of all ages. But no matter which path you choose, there's one thing you'll never forget — the legendary Big M. 'One of our big pieces as for 4-Hers are what we call the big M: belonging, independence, generosity and mastery. We work really hard to create a space where everybody feels they belong, where they can build, like, good, meaningful friendships,' said Jessica Middleton, one of 4-H's directors. As 4-H celebrates its centennial year, they're pulling out all the stops. Campers can look forward to exciting expansions to the archery range and ropes course, along with a lineup of brand-new events that promise to make this milestone year unforgettable. 'We're going to be doing our very first ever five K race. It'll be an ultra race here at camp,' said Jim Hooper, another director of the camp. 'We're also going to be closing out our centennial celebration this year with a gala. Our big fundraiser for this year is going to be our pool house. We are looking to replace our entire pool, complex, if you will, the pool and the pool house. So that'll be a big capital campaign coming up, starting probably this fall.' Local entrepreneur helping people fight cancer with her innovative device Even with all the exciting new features the camp offers each year, 4-H's camp directors never lose sight of what they cherish most. 'I always love getting to see how this whole place, like, reimagines itself. Every week we get a whole new batch of campers, and, we get staff that, you know, build those community connections, build a relationship, and just kind of getting the chance to walk around camp is a constant reminder of what a lucky place we work in, and to be able to see the growth and development from our staff that have been coming back year after year, from seeing our campers go from sprout campers that day campers to progression campers, and seeing them develop all the way up through CIT and leadership programs,' Hooper said.
