Jim Is Back!

I am back. Will try to start catching up tomorrow. Thank you all for your emails & phone calls, prayers and kind thoughts, and to my wife Cynthia for holding the fort.

About noon on Friday, I was working at my computer, when my left arm went numb. I thought maybe I had positioned it wrong, but I moved it around and it didn't return to normal in a short time.

Cynthia drove me out to Charles Cole Hospital emergency room and they went to work to try to determine the cause. Initial readings showed some cardiac abnormalities.

They did a complete workup on me with x-rays, cat scan of my head (empty), and tested about half of my blood supply. The ER Doc decided to keep me overnight for follow up testing. The tests were ok except for a couple of abnormalities and Dr. Miller said I may have had that for some time and didn't think it was serious and let me come home on Saturday evening.

Everyone at Charles Cole was fantastic and went about their jobs competently and in a friendly manner. I didn't get much sleep last night, because they kept waking me up and sticking needles in me. I think they let me come home so I could bring them tomorrow's news. I'll try to get caught up tomorrow.

Thanks to one and all.

Jim

Area Veterans Welcome New Potter County Clinic

Successful Debut For County’s New Veterans Health Clinic

Potter County Today

Potter County’s new Veterans Medical Center opened its doors for what proved to be a busy debut on Thursday. “The response was outstanding,” said Leonard Kalkbrenner Jr. (shown), the county’s director of veterans affairs. “You could see just from the results of the first day that we’ve been able to bring more Potter County veterans into the system. This is a very positive development.”

The clinic will be in operation every Thursday from 9 am to 3 pm. Bath (N.Y.) VA Medical Center is operating the primary care office and outreach center at the Mapleview property, 24 Buffalo Street, off Rt. 872 in Coudersport. The center will be staffed by VA personnel trained to process new enrollments, schedule appointments and update patient information.

Starting July 22, veterans who have scheduled appointments can be seen at the new location. Toll-free contact number is 1-877-845-3247. The number at the local center is 814-260-9342.

Plans for the clinic have been in the works for several years. “We look forward to supplementing the health care services provided for Potter County veterans,” Bath VA Center Director David J. West said. “We are pleased to join county officials and community health care providers, such as Charles Cole Memorial Hospital, in ensuring that veterans receive the highest quality care.” Doug Morley, chairman of the Board of Commissioners, said, “This has been an ongoing effort for years and is the result of a great deal of cooperation and teamwork.”

Hundreds Of Gas Wells In Potter & McKean Counties

Gas Drilling Impact Will Be Felt On Region’s State Forest Land

July 15th, 2010

Hunters, snowmobilers, hikers and others will feel the effects of increased natural gas drilling on state forest land. Some of the likely impacts of Marcellus Shale gas production were spelled out for about 90 people attending this month’s meeting of the Potter County Natural Gas Task Force. Senior geologist Nathan Bennett (left) and District Forester Chris Nicholas from the Pa. Bureau of Forestry were featured speakers.

In instances where the state owns the subsurface rights, drillers are required to avoid areas of special concern, based on wildlife habitat, natural resources and other factors. Those limitations are spelled out in lease agreements. That’s not the case, however, with about half of the 260,000 acres of state forest land in Potter County. Oil, gas and mineral rights for those tracts are privately owned and drillers are legally entitled to set up on the surface to access those resources.

With more drilling, forest users can expect to encounter traffic, road closures, trail relocations, forest fragmentation and noise. DCNR anticipates that hundreds of gas wells are coming on state forest land over the next decade, a large percentage of them in Potter and McKean counties.

More information on Marcellus Shale/natural gas issues is available on the Potter County website at pottercountypa.net.

Free ‘Webinar’ Today On Local Controls Of Natural Gas Drilling

Free ‘Webinar’ Today On Local Controls Of Natural Gas Drilling

Potter County Today

A free “webinar” is scheduled for today (Thursday, July 15) at 1 pm on a topic of interest to many Potter County residents — especially township officials. It’s entitled “Natural Gas Development Land Use Controls” and can be seen by anyone with internet access. See signup details below. Kurt Hausammann Jr., planning director for Lycoming County, will be the presenter. After the program, participants will be able to ask questions.

Sponsored by Penn State Cooperative Extension, the webinar will provide an overview of land-use planning strategies as shale gas exploration intensifies in Pennsylvania.

Local governments may not enact specific ordinances targeting gas-drilling operations. However, there still may be some avenues to assert influence, and Hausammann identifies local zoning regulations as the best tools for the job. “If you don’t have zoning, there’s nothing you can do.”

With gas drillers now seeking an average at least three permits per week and even more activity forecasted, Lycoming County is working with more than a dozen municipalities to adopt a zoning ordinance that regulates gas well locations based on issues of health, safety and public welfare. The primary limit on drilling is based on population density. The ordinance also contains noise regulations and voluntary “best management practices” involving setbacks, pipeline routes and other aspects.

Information about how to register for the webinar is available at http://extension.psu.edu/naturalgas/webinars or by calling Joann Kowalski at 570-278-1158.

TROUT RUN - Area emergency responders are mourning the loss of one of their own today.

Trout Run Volunteer Fire Co. firefighter Richard L. Springman, 20, of Cogan Station, was on his way to a fatal two-vehicle collision on Route 15 Wednesday afternoon when he lost control of his pickup truck and crashed.

He was nearing the first crash scene at Powys Curve in Lewis Township when his wreck occurred, state police said. More...

The initial crash, about three miles south of here, involved a Nissan Altima that was driven by Shannon Lynn McKenzie, 25, of Williamsport, who lost control of the car as she was traveling north on the four-lane highway, police said.

The car went across the grassy median and slammed into a southbound Sunbury Motor Co. Ford van, killing the woman instantly, police said.

The driver of the van, John Walter Beaver, 52, of Milton, was taken by ambulance to Williamsport Regional Medical Center for moderate injuries and still was being treated Wednesday night, police said.

Ulysses Wind Farm Public Hearing Thursday

Public Hearing Thursday Night On Wind Turbine Plan

Potter County Today

More than three years after AES Corporation, announced plans to build an electricity generating plant in northern Potter County using wind turbines on high-altitude farmland, the project is headed for a public hearing on Thursday, July 15, at 6 pm.

Ulysses Township Board of Supervisors will hear input from citizens on AES’s plan to erect a network of some 55 turbines on property leased from approximately 20 landowners. The hearing will be held at the Potter County Solid Waste Authority transfer station and recycling center, off Rt. 49, just north of Gold.

Fox Hill Wind Energy Project is still months away from moving forward, as numerous regulatory agencies will be reviewing the plans. AES said its plan calls for towers extending 450 feet from the ground to the farthest tip of the blade.

The project covers 10,000 acres, with about 350 acres to be disturbed. Ulysses Township and AES have been negotiating a host agreement which will determine the amount of revenue the township receives.

Range Resouces Discloses Chemicals Used In Natural Gas Well Fracking Process

Marcellus drilling company to identify fracking chemicals

DONALD GILLILAND, The Patriot-News

Range Resources, of Cannonsburg, was the first company to drill a Marcellus Shale gas well in Pennsylvania. Wednesday it became the first to disclose the chemicals used in the fracking process at each of its wells.

It’s a public relations move of monumental proportion.

The identification of the chemicals - added to millions of gallons of “frack water” pumped into deep wells to fracture shale and release natural gas - has become a rallying cry of many who have seen the documentary film “Gasland.”

Secretary of Environmental Protection John Hanger noted that his agency last month became the first in the country to post a comprehensive list of additives used in fracking, and said the “announcement that Range intends to go even further on this issue is welcome news, and represents a model that other operators in the Marcellus must follow without further delay.” More...

Failed Valve Caused Gas Fire At Chesapeake Well Pad

DEP Investigates Fire at Natural Gas Well Pad

Chesapeake Notified DEP Quickly

HARRISBURG -- Department of Environmental Protection Secretary John Hanger said his agency is looking into the cause of a July 13 fire at a natural gas well pad in Susquehanna County.

The fire occurred at a separator tank at a site operated by Chesapeake Energy in Auburn Township. The tank ignited at approximately 8 p.m. and was extinguished at around 10 p.m. by local emergency responders working with the company. The well was producing natural gas from the Marcellus Shale formation through a pipeline away from the wellhead to a production unit where a valve failed, leaked natural gas and caught fire.

“Fortunately, this incident does not appear to have caused any significant environmental contamination thanks to the prompt response efforts of the local emergency responders and the company,” said Hanger, noting that no injuries or evacuations were reported as a result of the incident. “We’ll be investigating this operation closely to see what can be learned by both the department and gas well operators.”

Chesapeake notified the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency of the fire at approximately 8:30 p.m. DEP dispatched an oil and gas inspector immediately to the scene to assess the conditions. The site will remain closed until repairs can be made and DEP completes its investigation.

Chesapeake Energy has been issued 698 permits to develop natural gas in Pennsylvania, 697 of which are located within the Marcellus Shale. The company operates 187 wells in the state, 182 of which are in the Marcellus Shale.

Veterans Medical Center Opens

County’s New Veterans Medical Center Opens Thursday

Potter County Today

Potter County’s new Veterans Medical Center opens its doors on Thursday (July 15) and will continue to be in operation every Thursday from 9 am to 3 pm. Bath (N.Y.) VA Medical Center will operate the primary care office and outreach center at the Mapleview property, 24 Buffalo Street, off Rt. 872 in Coudersport.

Bath VA Center reports that dozens of military veterans have already inquired about the new facility. The center is bringing extra personnel to Potter County for Thursday’s opening to assist with intake.

The clinic will be staffed by VA personnel trained to process new enrollments, schedule appointments and update patient information. Starting July 22, veterans who have scheduled appointments can be seen at the new location. Toll-free contact number is 1-877-845-3247. After July 15, the number will be 814-260-9342.

Plans for the clinic have been in the works for several years. “We look forward to having a presence in the community and supplementing the health care services provided for Potter County veterans,” Bath VA Medical Center Director David J. West said. “We are pleased to join county officials and community health care providers, such as Charles Cole Memorial Hospital, in ensuring that veterans receive the highest quality care.”

“We’re fortunate to be able to locate a VA care facility right here in Potter County,” said Doug Morley, chairman of the Board of Commissioners. “This has been an ongoing effort for years and is the result of a great deal of cooperation and teamwork. This will, in many cases, allow veterans who are eligible for VA services to avoid the long drive to Bath.”

Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers Presents its 2009 Annual Report

Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers Presents its 2009 Annual Report

Cultivating the Seeds of Inspiration

At its seventh annual meeting recently held at the Towanda Country Club in Wysox, PA the Board of Directors of the Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers (CFTT) presented the Foundation’s seventh edition of their annual report to the community. The theme of this year’s report is Cultivating the Seed of Inspiration.

The CFTT Board of Directors understands the importance of a charitable organization that allows all citizens – no matter what their means – to make lasting contributions to their community that provides them with their livelihoods. As Board Chair, Bill Ransom said, “The CFTT has benefited from seven years of careful tending. We are wiser, stronger and better equipped to meet the needs of our community as we continue to make this community a better place to live for all of us.”

The report gives the highlights of 2009 for the CFTT from the fact the CFTT saw an eighty-seven percent (87%) increase in their asset base to bringing Potter County into its service area. The CFTT had 33 funds under management at the end of 2009 and saw their grant funds grow from $9,000 in 2007, $22,000 in 2008 to $50,000 in 2009. The CFTT also started a vehicle donation program to support its operating fund.

The new funds for 2009 include the Babe & George Tymoski/Rockman’s Apparel Scholarship Fund, Canton Area School District Scholarship & Awards Fund, the Endless Mountains Heritage Region Endowment Fund, the Floyd Hooker Estate Foundation Endowment Fund, the Potter County Discretionary Fund, and the Towanda Musical Society Scholarship Fund.

One of the things stressed in the report is that once an endowment fund is established any member of the public can donate any amount to any of these funds. You don’t have to be wealthy to give back to your community through the CFTT. The Annual Report for 2009 explains how the Foundation operates; the different ways people can contribute to the Foundation, and also lists all the donors to the Foundation in 2009.

The Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers (CFTT) is a non-profit public foundation established in 2002 by a diverse group of local leaders and residents. The Foundation encourages community philanthropy to enhance the quality of life for those who reside in Bradford, Potter, Sullivan and Tioga Counties in Pennsylvania and Tioga County in New York State. It is one of over 700 community foundations in the United States.

The mission of the CFTT is to continuously improve the present and future quality of life in the counties served by the Foundation. If you have an interest obtaining a copy of the 2009 Annual Report, in learning more about the CFTT or in establishing a fund you can contact the organization by any of these methods: telephone - 570-888-4759; fax - 570-888-2179; email - cftt@stny.rr.com ; or visit the website - www.twintierscf.org .

Swerved To Miss Deer--Got Utility Pole Instead

A Coudersport teenager received minor injuries early Tuesday morning when she lost control of her car trying to miss a deer in the road on Route 44, 6/10 of a mile north of the Rt. 49 intersection in Hebron Township.

Melissa Sue Tilley, 19, of 7 Beech Street, Coudersport, PA, was driving a 1999 Dodge Stratus south on Route 44 at 1:20 am. She observed a deer in the roadway while negotiating a right hand curve in the roadway and swerved her car in an attempt to miss the deer.

Tilley lost control of the car and traveled across the northbound lane, striking a utility pole with the front of her car. The car then traveled across both lanes of Route 44, before coming to final rest along the west berm of the roadway facing northwest.

Troopers said Tilley sustained minor injuries as a result of the crash. The car had disabling damage and was towed by Kightlinger Motors.

Coudersport Fire Dept. and Coudersport Ambulance Service assisted troopers at the scene, as well as Medic 6.

Troopers determined that Tilley was under the influence of alcohol and was subsequently transported to Charles Cole Memorial Hospital for a blood draw to determine BAC. Charges of DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE and numerous traffic violations will be filed in District Court 55-4-01
