Aldine L. Zampogna, 85, of 49 York St. in Bradford, died Wednesday, May 23, at her home.
Born in Foxburg, PA, on April 30, 1927, she was a daughter of the late Carl and Florence Irwin.
On May 2, 1953 in Kane, she married Joseph F. Zampogna, who died on June 14, 2007.
She moved to Bradford in 1960 and was a Cub Scout den mother. She was a devoted mother and wife and loving grandmother.
A child of the Depression, she was very frugal. She loved to cut coupons, grocery shop, and bake and cook for her family. Banana bread was her specialty. She was a stay at home mom and proud of it. She always put her family first and worried constantly about those she loved.
Her devilish sense of humor made her root for any team that played the Buffalo Bills, tormenting her husband and son. She adored her cat, Gus.
Surviving are three sons, Frank C. (Kim) Zampogna of Palm Bay, FL; Larry J. (Suzi) Zampogna of Bethel Park; and Mark J. Zampogna of Bradford; a sister, Donna Perkins of Punxsutawney; and six grandchildren, Becky, Joseph, Anthony, Matthew, Brianna and Joshua. She was preceded in death by one son, Robert M. (Bonnie) Zampogna.
Private services will be held at the convenience of the family. Burial will be in St. Bernard Cemetery.
Memorials may be made to McKean County VNA and Hospice.

Whooping Cough Cases Detected In Potter County
CHARLES COLE MEMORIAL INCREASES WHOOPING COUGH EDUCATION--MATERNITY VISITS LIMITED
Coudersport, Pa.—Charles Cole Memorial Hospital (CCMH) is highlighting the importance of vaccination and awareness of the signs and symptoms of pertussis (whooping cough) due to several identified cases in Potter County.
Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a highly contagious disease that affects the lungs and airways of individuals of all ages however infants and young children have the highest risk of severe complications. It is caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis which is found in the nose, mouth, and throat of an infected person. Pertussis spreads via airborne droplets from the nose and mouth of infected persons that are most contagious early in the course of illness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention site at www.cdc.gov provides pertussis information and guidelines for the proper methods to cover a cough using the arm; hand hygiene steps; mask instructions; and the importance of no contact with others until completion of treatment or approval is granted by a health care provider.
Symptoms usually start five to ten days after exposure to another person with the disease, but may take as long as 20 days to develop. They include sneezing, runny nose, low-grade fever, and mild coughing that progresses to severe coughing. Some persons have episodes of rapid coughing followed by a high-pitched whoop as they take a deep breath. However, not everyone with pertussis has a whooping cough, especially very young infants.
Charles Cole Memorial Hospital’s Vice President and Chief Nursing Executive Cynthia Hardesty said, “It’s important that you immediately contact your health care provider as soon as you have pertussis symptoms or exposure to an infected person.”
“Diagnosis is based on the recovery of the bacteria from nasopharyngeal (nose and throat swab) specimens obtained early in the course of the disease,” added Mrs. Hardesty.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s Pertussis Fact Sheet, antibiotics may be useful early in the disease to reduce the spread to other persons. However, once severe symptoms begin, antibiotics may not have any effect.
The single best control measure is adequate vaccination. The pertussis vaccine is usually given to children with other vaccines such as diphtheria and tetanus (DTaP vaccine). Children should be routinely immunized at ages 2, 4, 6, and 15-18 months, at 4-6 years, and 11-12 years. Other high risk groups such as pregnant women or those with close contact with infants should consult their health care provider for recommended vaccine.
“Charles Cole Memorial Hospital offers Tdap to their health care personnel to protect the employee, patients and visitors,” said Kris Zitnik, director Quality Management and Infection Control. “Additional education and infection control measures are also in place to prevent exposure and/or transmission.”
Revisions have been made to the Hospital’s Visitation Policy until further notice. Visitors are currently not permitted in the Maternity Unit or Nursery, except immediate family members with no symptoms.
A pertussis vaccination clinic will be held on May 29 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. by the north central Pennsylvania Department of Health office. Call 814-274-3626 for an appointment. The cost is $5 cash or money order. Immunizations may also be received by contacting your primary care physician or locating a Charles Cole Memorial health care provider at 814-274-9300. For more information about whooping cough, visit www.cdc.gov, www.health.state.pa.us or www.charlescolehospital.com.

Dozens Receive U.S. Citizenship
5:19 pm, May 24, 2012, by Jim Hamill WNEP
A few dozen men and women can now call themselves Americans.
The ceremony in Williamsport Thursday was a happy one for those new citizens who came here from all over the world.
You could sense the excitement in the courtroom at the federal courthouse in Williamsport. The families and friends of soon-to-be U.S. citizens were there as their loved ones made it official.
Once all 34 men and women stood before the judge, he administered the oath of allegiance.
There was Claudia Mantilla Herrera who has come all the way from Colombia to Coudersport. With her husband and son by her side, she was overcome with emotion.
“It took six months, it’s very organized. They took my fingerprints. You’re just ecstatic. You’ve got a wonderful country,” she said.
It may have been a long road for those 34 new U.S. citizens to get to the point where they are today, but said it was well worth it. The judge has said they have to participate in the U.S. democracy, starting out this November, voting in their first election.
