Scam Warning
Jim
Perhaps it would be advisable to let your readers know and be aware that there seems to be an increase in E-Mails stating that the individuals who receive them have made purchases at certain stores, (Walmart - Costco, et cetera), and if they did not make these purchases to click on a link.
I have received several in just the last two days and after checking with the web-pages for the appropriate stores that I do buy from and confirming that I did not I can only assume that these are attempts to get the receivers of these E-Mails to "Click" on the links for some scamming purpose.

My hometown, Coudersport, Pa.
Georgeanna DeCarlo
This song played on the radio on our trip home from Oishei Children's Hospital in Buffalo, NY last Friday. "My Hometown." As if I needed another reason to dissolve into tears. Every bit cleans the soul though and after all I'd been through, and even now - there's still much to release.
My hometown, Coudersport, Pa., that I was so eager to escape when I was 18. I had plans to become an airline stewardess. Even visited a school in Erie but luckily we couldn't afford it.
I ended up meeting the first love of my life and had my first son within a year. The relationships and endeavors that resulted from that brilliant meeting ended up shaping my entire life in a way that I wouldn't change an inch of.
My hometown. Fifty one years after I was born and so fortunate to be here yet.
Sure, we're finagling how we're going to manage our households, our community in this new age of revamping industry. Prioritizing welfare of people and environment will lead us into new sustainable direction. It's just going to take some time to get situated. Establishing a Rails to Trails program will work wonders... more on that later.
For now, I am happy to bask in the beauty that surrounds me. I am grateful to be in this community of extraordinary people. One by one we're hurdling over all the obstacles that kept us separated. We're returning to our primal essence of unconditional love that we were born with, the beauty we held before we "played the game" and adopted belief systems, prejudices that allowed us to gain perspectives.
Indigenous people honor natural law, Lakota saying Mitakuye Oyasin; translated to English means recognition that we are all relatives; every person, every speck of our environment on planet and off. Matching our motions respectful of next seven generations creates ripples mindful of long felt and far traveling repercussions. Sound, light, emotion riding a current to a matching inner/outer, upper/under frequency. Powerful stuff.
A neighbor called last night to see if we needed to borrow a car. Tears. Again. Just such an amazing outpouring of support that I am truly humbled and ever so grateful.
My hometown.
For those of you who don't know, I hit a deer and totaled my car a month ago - was looking for a car in Allentown when my kids were in a car accident. Three were okay, but one of the twins, six-years-old, suffered a basial skull fracture and complications. We're home now and he's recovering amazingly.
My oldest boys live in Wilmington, NC and evacuated to escape the hurricane. One home is okay, the other is visible now but still in the middle of a raging river.
Intervention of prayers and generosity, skill of our local first responders and those in Wilmington, NC, turned what could have even been more tragic situations into a plethora of miracles. Coudersport Elementary school is more than a teaching complex - it's an extraordinary family. Generosity of people at the school was incredible, and so appreciated.
In the midst of all this, the issue of selling our local memorial arboretum lingers. It's heartwarming to me to see how many people truly believe in honoring commitments and caring for neighbors as family.
During my stay at Oishei, I walked outside to talk on the phone so that Ayden couldn't hear my conversation. I kept my head down most of the time there, hurting so bad I couldn't make eye contact with people. While on the phone, I sat on a step and noticed for the first time a small plaque by a tree, then realized that the whole grounds around that building are surrounded by trees, shrubs, rose bushes, etc... dedicated to people.
Janet Perkowski founded the arboretum to give back to her hometown. Shock of losing her husband and with her children grown, her mother encouraged her to return to Coudersport. She worked at the Cancer Society and started the arboretum to create something beautiful and assist people who were grieving loss of loved ones, wanted to honor people by establishing living tributes. The white birch there is one of the trees dedicated to her husband, Cassimir Perkowski, and one of ones slated for removal.
My hometown. Filled with brilliant people who although some may be challenging with their opinions that differ from my own, inspire me to question what I value - instigate me to step up and defend what I love.
Bill Pekarski: Day 754, Living life on my terms.
Day 754, Living life on my terms.
I know I talk about marching band a little too much, but it really is one of the proudest accomplishments in my life and most of my best friends that I have today are because of marching band. Since the activity is mostly based in the fall of the year, I put marching band up there with pumpkin spice coffee, pumpkin pancakes at Sprague’s, autumn fest beers, and Potter County’s spectacular fall foliage as my favorite things about the season.
Now while Beth likes to see marching bands, especially if they have real majorettes, she unfortunately doesn’t share my level of affinity. Thus, I only get to listen to my old tapes and cd’s or watch you tube videos when she is not around.
Tonight I had to drive down to pick her up from work. While I am waiting for her I start watching the 1991 and 1992 IUP marching band complete shows on you tube. Even today, more than 25 years later, I can still remember the feeling of taking the field and performing those shows. For a moment, I am 20 years old again and I have a whole world of experiences ahead of me.
As I listened, I could hear my old friend, well he was an old friend to all of us in the band, Ross Brightwell announce for the band over the P.A. system. He was more passionate about the band than anyone else I ever knew. He volunteered his time to set up our tours each season and secure any extra funding we needed to be able to get us to our shows.
He booked us to play halftimes for professional football teams every year. We would perform at high school shows and competitions all around the state and beyond. He made sure that there was always a way to feed the band and we had a gym floor somewhere to sleep at night. I must say, we were fed pretty darn well too.
After my time at IUP, Ross and I continued to talk often as we became pretty good friends and really fairly close. In 1998, we even worked out a plan that brought the band that year to Coudersport to perform. It was, at the time, quite possibly one of my proudest moments ever.
I remember how amazed Ross was when he arrived in town a little earlier in the day and I showed him the venue where the band would play that night at CARP. It was October 6 and the fall foliage was really at a peak point. As we stood on the field at Carp and looked at the brilliant colored hillside, you would have thought the hill was on fire with all of the different shades of yellow, red, and orange.
Ever since that day, Ross said that was one of the most beautiful scenes he had ever witnessed. Later that night, when the band played Amazing Grace, you could hear the echo ringing down the valley. It was the perfect audio compliment to the visual scene we experienced earlier.
Sadly, we lost Ross in March of 2016. I can’t tell you how much I miss our conversations and his fellowship. We always said the IUP Marching Band was a family, and Ross was an important part of that family.
Then I started to think of some of the other band members from those years that are no longer with us; Jay Eggleston, Eric Woods, Bill Kellerman, Chris Cole, Andy Talarovich, and Eric Zetts were just a few of the names that came to mind. Unfortunately, I know there are more and I just can’t remember at this moment.
I like to think that each time the band performs; they are all there playing along or taking part in their own ways. We always referred to the IUP band as the legend and as we know, legends never die. As long as the band still plays, their memory lives on.
I am dedicating my progress today to Ross, Jay, Eric, Bill, Chris, Andy, and Eric, as well as any other lost members from all of the other years. Whenever I hear the band play Amazing Grace, or if I am listening to a recording, the goosebumps I feel are from the memory of all of you and the times that we shared. May all of you rest in peace.
