Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl for Kids Sake
Big Brothers Big Sisters of McKean County would like to thank the businesses and individuals who participated and donated in Bowl For Kids’ Sake 2013.
Bowl For Kids’ Sake is our largest annual fundraiser that took place on March 23, 2013 at Byllye Lanes in Bradford. Funds raised will support ongoing professional match support for one on one matches between adult volunteers and youth in need of an additional positive adult role model throughout McKean County.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is an evidence-based mentoring program shown to prevent substance abuse and anti-social behavior among youth. Served youth show significant improvements in school attendance, academic performance, involvement with positive school and community activities, self-esteem, interpersonal and problem solving skills, and future planning and goal setting. Served youth are also much more likely to develop friendships with positive peers and have improved relationships with family members.
It costs approximately $1,800 per year to support a match. In McKean County, Big Brothers Big Sisters currently serves 21 matches with 28 children on the waiting list for a mentor.
Each individual bowler was asked to raise a minimum of $35. Staff and children involved in the Independent Living program of the McKean County Department of Human Services raised nearly $2,877 of the total amount raised by bowlers and contributed prizes to the event. The individual bowlers that raised the most money were 1st place, Brenda Bloomgren who raised $ $567.00, 2nd place went to Stacey Gallagaher who raised $500, and Tiffany Swanson took 3rd raising $458. Those bowlers raising the most money received prize packages containing Kwik Fill and Corsby’s gas cards, Tops Friendly Market and Save-A-Loy grocery gift certificates, and Wal-Mart gift cards. Every participant enjoyed two bowling games, shoe rental, food, lots of entertainment, and tons of prize giveaways.
This year’s event sponsors included Championship sponsors, American Refining Group and the Kane Fraternal Order of the Eagles Aerie #307. Perfect game sponsors included WESB, University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, and Little Caesars, who donated the pizza for this year’s event. Strike sponsors include Close’s Lumber, Asel Enterprises Inc, Kiwanis Club of Bradford, Smethport VFW #2497, Kwik Fill, Straub Brewery, Byllye Lanes, and the Bradford Fraternal Order of the Eagles Aerie # 2432. Spare sponsors were Pine Haven Veterinary Clinic, W.E. Swanson Agency, Zook Motors, Kwik fill, Zippo/Case Museum, Northwest Savings Bank, General Roofing Co, Burns & Burns Associates Inc, Cutco-Ka-Bar Visitor Center, Kane Lions Club, KOA Speer Electronics, Marche Club, McKean County Animal Hospital, Mount Jewett Veterans Memorial Club, Mount Jewett VFW Post 6347, Mount Jewett Rotary Club, and the Smethport Rotary Club. Thank you to all of these businesses, the additional general donors and the many, many more businesses that donated prizes for supporting Bowl For Kids’ Sake and the Big Brothers Big Sisters of McKean County.

Coudersport Rotary Seeking Host Families For Spanish Exchange Student
Coudersport Rotary Seeking Host Families For Spanish Exchange Student
As part of our club’s long history of involvement with youth exchange programs, we are pleased to announce that Victoria Garcia, a resident of Spain, will be joining us for the 2103-2114 school year.
Victoria is 15 years old and is an accomplished musician. She also likes sports and science. Her parents are chemists. She is from Sabinanigo, a town of 10,000 located in the Pyrenees Mountains near the French border. She is an animal lover and has a dog. Her background indicates that she is both an intelligent and reliable young woman.
Coudersport Rotary is seeking two host families for Victoria. She would be with the first family until January and with the second family until June. Victoria will be attending Coudersport Area Jr. Sr. High School.
While she speaks English, she is anxious to sharpen her language skills, and to see small town American life, she is also wants to be part of an American family and learn about our country.
Being a host family has many benefits as well. Here is a unique opportunity to learn about Spain, its culture, and language through Victoria. The host family provides room and board for the student, and is expected to include the student in family and community activities. Rotary furnishes health insurance, spending money, as well as ongoing guidance and advice. A Rotary counselor is available to provide assistance as needed to both the student and host family.
Coudersport Rotary is also sponsoring CHS student Michaela Keating as an outbound exchange student to Germany. She will be leaving Coudersport in August to meet her first German host family.
The Rotary Exchange Student Program is one of the largest and least expensive programs of its type in the world. We have sent local students to Germany, France, Italy, and Thailand in recent years, and we have hosted students from the Dominican Republic, Peru, Germany, Thailand, Poland, and France, among other countries.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to share your family, community, and country with this young visitor. Here is a special chance to show Victoria what we are all about, and to learn a great deal in the process. Many times a family-like relationship between foreign students and host families goes on for years after the exchange is over. Interested parties should contact John Leete at 274-7878 or Melissa Gee at 544-7315

DEP Fines PGE $125,500 for Violations in Lycoming County
DEP Fines PGE $125,500 for Violations in Lycoming County
Company Violated Four State Laws in Cummings, Watson Townships
Williamsport – The Department of Environmental Protection has fined Pennsylvania General Energy Co. LLC of Warren, Warren County, $125,500 for two separate sets of violations in Lycoming County during 2012 and 2011.
“The agency’s Oil and Gas program assessed penalties for three separate spills in January 2012 at a Pennsylvania General Energy well pad in Cummings Township, and for excessive sediment discharges to Pine Creek and related violations in Watson Township between May and September 2011,” DEP Director of District Oil and Gas Operations John Ryder said.
During hydraulic fracturing operations at the 729-C well pad, Pennsylvania General Energy (PGE) had two brine spills from blender units and one diesel fuel spill between Jan. 6 and Jan. 15, 2012. The total volume of brine spilled was estimated at 8,200 gallons, while the diesel fuel spill was estimated at 89 gallons.
The well pad is located within the high-quality Pine Creek watershed, with the closest stream being an unnamed tributary to Ramsey Run. There was no evidence that any of the spills impacted the unnamed tributary.
DEP issued three notices of violation to PGE for violations of the Oil and Gas Act, Solid Waste Management Act, Clean Streams Law and state environmental regulations.
In order to properly remediate the three spills, PGE excavated more than 3,300 tons of contaminated soil and submitted a corrective action final report that DEP reviewed and approved in July 2012.
The 2011 violations were related to PGE installing in Pine Creek a temporary cofferdam, made with limestone rock, to construct a water intake structure. DEP had issued the company a Water Obstruction and Encroachment permit for the project, but PGE failed to adhere to the permit requirements.
In addition, PGE failed to implement and maintain erosion and sediment control best management practices, which resulted in several excessive sediment discharges during the four-month construction period into Pine Creek, which is a high-quality, trout-stocked fishery.
DEP issued a notice of violation to PGE on May 20, 2011, citing violations of the Clean Streams Law and state environmental regulations addressing waterway encroachments and earth disturbances.
Following multiple inspections during the summer months, an inspection in late September 2011 revealed that all previous violations had been properly corrected. In November 2011, DEP issued an amendment to PGE’s existing Erosion and Sediment Control permit for a nearby water line to also include the intake structure.

Route 255 Work near I-80/DuBois Starts Monday
Clearfield County
Route 255 Work near I-80/DuBois Starts Monday
DuBois – On behalf of Governor Tom Corbett, PennDOT today announced that work to improve Route 255 near the I-80 DuBois/101 interchange will begin on Monday, April 29. When work completes in mid-October, a smoother roadway surface and new traffic signals at the I-80 ramps will provide area drivers with more efficient travel and improved traffic flow.
Crews will begin work Monday to set signage and lay out the work area. Overall work on Route 255 will include milling and paving, bridge deck repair, cleaning and upgrading of pipe culverts and inlets, water-line extension, and installation of new traffic signals at the I-80 ramps. The work zone stretches from the new Fairfield Inn to just north of Snappy’s convenience store.
As work starts, traffic impacts will be minimal but as activity picks up, motorists can expect to encounter flaggers in the work zone and potential travel delays. Later this spring, temporary traffic signals will be placed near the Treasure Lake entrance to ease traffic flow through the area. PennDOT reminds drivers to remain alert and proceed through the work zone with caution.
All work is weather and schedule dependent. Work is scheduled to end by mid-October of this year. New Enterprise Stone and Lime, Inc. is the contractor on this $3.4 million project.

Sen. Toomey Gets Highest Ratings Ever After Support Of Gun Legislation
Sen. Toomey Gets Highest Ratings Ever After Support Of Gun Legislation
Quinnipiac University Survey
Pennsylvania voters approve 34 - 29 percent of the way U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey is handling gun control and give Sen. Toomey an overall 48 - 30 percent approval rating, his highest ever. By a 54 - 12 percent margin, voters think more favorably of Toomey because of his co-sponsorship of legislation to require expanded background checks.
Looking at support for background checks:
69 percent of voters "strongly support" the measure;
16 percent support it "somewhat;"
5 percent are "somewhat opposed;"
7 percent are "strongly opposed."
Voters disagree 68 - 27 percent with the argument that extending background checks unfairly targets gun enthusiasts. Voters do agree 56 - 36 percent that extending background checks would close loopholes for gun buyers who want to avoid such checks. Read more...

Mock DUI Crash Watched By Students From North Penn High
![]() |
Photo by Lonny Frost |
Students from North Penn High saw first hand the truth about DUI in a mock drill. This senior project took place early this morning at the Blossburg Island Park with help from Blossburg Fire and Ambulance, Liberty and the Life Flight crew.
Soon Prom and graduation will be upon these students and with the celebration often comes alcohol to toast the event. However, the students from North Penn got to see first hand what could unfold if they drink and drive. A moment of celebration and pride, can easily end up in chaos and death.
State Trooper Doney made it clear to everyone when he stated, "This type of incident would not only affect you, your friends and classmates, but the families of the victims, as well."
Many students starred at the mock drill feeling very uncomfortable, others couldn't even look as they covered the body of one of their classmates in the wreckage with a sheet. At the same time other students in the mock drill were being treated for their injuries.
Even a white hearse sat at the scene awaiting the body of the one that did not survive.
Blossburg Fire and Ambulance along with Liberty worked the scene as if it was the real deal. They got each patient out, prepared them for transport and one patient was even loaded into Life Flight and flown out during the drill.
Students were allowed to ask questions to the fire and ambulance crew, as well as, take a tour of the Life Flight helicopter.
Trooper Doney ended with, "I never want to have to tell another parent that their child died in an accident cause by DUI."
All those who came together to show these students the value of a decision, did a remarkable job as they drilled home the truth to each of these high school students.
Remember to think before you decide to celebrate with a drink.

PITT-BRADFORD GRADUATES HEADED TO FLIGHT SCHOOL, GRAD SCHOOL, WORK
![]() |
Tiara O. Brown on patrol |
BRADFORD, Pa. – Two of the students graduating Sunday from the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford will be flying high after commencement.
Tiara O. Brown of Bradford and Shane Mann, an accounting major from Smithburg, Md., will both head to the U.S. Army’s flight school at Fort Rucker, Ala., following their commissioning as second lieutenants Saturday morning and graduation from Pitt-Bradford the following afternoon.
Brown is the first Pitt-Bradford student to be the top cadet in St. Bonaventure University’s ROTC program, which trains students from both schools to become officers in the Army, National Guard or Army Reserve.
Brown said that after 13 months of flight school, she hopes to fly Chinook helicopters. “They are the workhorse of the Army,” she said.
This student with two majors (sport and recreation management and business management) and a minor in athletic coaching says her ultimate goal is to become the Commanding General of Army Training and Doctrine.
‘I will be able to use all that I’ve learned here at Pitt-Bradford to advance my military career,” she said, adding that when she retires, she plans to either coach track and field or be involved with leadership training.
Not every student has planned his or her life out all the way through retirement, but some of those attending graduate school plan on having quite a few more years of education.
David Ware, an applied mathematics major from Bradford, will begin work on his Master of Science in applied mathematics at Rochester (N.Y.) Institute of Technology.
Bethany Lyons, a sports medicine major from St. Marys, will attend East Stroudsburg University to obtain a master’s degree in clinical exercise physiology, which she plans to use to become an exercise physiologist in cardiac rehabilitation.
Alyssa Lapp, a psychology and pre-occupational therapy major from Port Allegany, will attend the University of Pittsburgh’s Master of Occupational Therapy program beginning in June. She hopes to return home to the area to become an occupational therapist.
Jennifer Anderson, an athletic training major from Port Allegany, will attend Ithaca (N.Y.) College this fall to work on her Master in Exercise and Sport Science with a concentration in sport psychology. She also qualified for a graduate assistantship program as a certified athletic trainer.
Megan Truman, a December graduate in sports medicine, is working on her Master of Science in health, activity and chronic disease at the University of Pittsburgh.
Wray Woelfel, a biology major from Kersey, was accepted into the optometry program at Salus University in Elkins Park. Jay Carmany, a pre-pharmacy major from Reedsville, will also be attending Salus, where he will study in the pharmacy program.
Kayla Branch, a human relations major from Olean, N.Y., will attend the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs to work on her master’s degree.
While he won’t be graduating from Pitt-Bradford Sunday, Nick Davies, a biology major from Pittsfield, has a good reason. He was accepted into the Lake Erie College of Medicine’s accelerated 3+4 pre-med program and will begin medical school in July after three years as an undergraduate.
Molly Butler, a psychology major from Ashville, N.Y., has been accepted into the master’s program at Alfred (N.Y.) University, where she will pursue a degree in school psychology with the aim of becoming a certified school psychologist.
Kateri Hall, a writing major from Titusville, will enter the University of Southern Maine’s creative writing Master of Fine Arts program.
Elizabeth Tillman, a human relations major from Appleton, N.Y., will begin working on her doctorate in political science at the University of Buffalo, where she’s earned a full scholarship and a graduate assistantship.
Olivia Fernandes, an athletic training major from Erie, will begin working her master’s degree for applied physiology and kinesiology with a concentration in athletic training at the University of Florida. She has also secured a graduate assistant position with the university’s club sports and intramural teams.
Ridge Foster, a computer information systems and technology major from Mars, has been accepted into the Robert H. Smith School of Business Master of Information Systems program at the University of Maryland.
James Chadwick, a history-political science major from Pittsburgh, will begin the history graduate program at the University of Pittsburgh in the fall.
After a summer working as an intern for Truck-Lite Co. in Wellsboro, Paige Bitler, an engineering major, will transfer to the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanston School of Engineering, where she will not only study but also work for BMW’s Greenville plant in South Carolina as part of an engineering cooperative program.
Michael Eiswerth, a chemical engineering major from Williamsport, is also headed to the Swanson School next fall. During the summer, he will intern with Lonza Inc. chemical company in Williamsport. Lonza makes products that go into foods, cleaning agents and specialty products, and Eiswerth will have the chance to work on a few specific projects that chemical engineers do.
Some local students will head straight into the world of work. Dan Comes, a computer information systems and technology major from Cyclone, has been offered a position in information technology support at Domtar Corp. in Johnsonburg.
Steve Trumbull, a computer information systems and technology major from Bradford who graduated in December, was hired by NexGen as a Junior Java Developer.
Cynthia Glatt, a radiological sciences major from St. Marys, will be working at Elk Regional Health Center.
Kyle Schulze, a December graduate in radiological sciences from Olean, N.Y., is working as an x-ray technician at Bradford Regional Medical Center.
Sarah Schultz, a December graduate in radiological sciences from Mount Morris, works at Charles Cole Memorial Hospital in Coudersport.
Pamela Terrette, an accounting and business management major from Port Allegany, will be an accountant at Pitt-Corning.
Wes Milliron, a computer information systems and technology major from Julian, has accepted a job as a systems administrator for Nexstara in Mars.

Trooper's AED helps to save life of Westons Mills firefighter
Trooper's AED helps to save life of firefighter
Olean, NY - On April 24, 2013 Troopers out of the Olean barracks were investigating a three car personal injury accident at the intersection of ST-417 and Promised Land Road in the Town of Portville.
Two drivers were injured and taken to Olean General Hospital for treatment.
After both ambulances left the scene and the fire trucks returned to quarters, a few firefighters from the Westons Mills Fire Department remained to assist with traffic control.
While waiting until the tow trucks could remove all of the damaged vehicles, a firefighter collapsed in the roadway, with no pulse and was not breathing.
The remaining firemen rushed to his aid and began CPR while Trooper John Zeigler retrieved an Automated External Defibrilator (AED) from his cruiser.
The AED was hooked up to the fireman, a shock was advised and administered and CPR continued until a pulse and breathing resumed.
The fireman was taken to Olean General Hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.

Think About It.
Rest
We often think of rest as that rest that we enter into after a day of work or other activity. Christians consider a day of rest to be a very important part of their faith, although many seem to miss taking it. The book of Hebrews talks about entering into a Sabbath rest, but what is a Sabbath rest? What does it mean to rest?
My life is quite busy. It seems like I always have something going on and I’m always running in high gear. Slowing down isn’t in my vocabulary, and although I’d like to at times, I’m not sure I even know how. For me, its not just a personal thing, it’s a family thing. We all seemed to be wired the same way, all eight of us. We’re also blessed, (or cursed), with that all or nothing mentality. If walking one mile is good, then two must be better. Going out for a hike means a hike, not a stroll through the woods. One of the reasons my wife doesn’t always want to do things with me is because, as she puts it, I don’t know moderation. I suppose that’s one of the reasons I, and people like me, have difficulty finding rest.
The other day a friend asked me about the rest of God, and asked if I ever considered that perhaps we’ve gotten it backwards. He went on to say that man was created on the sixth day and that on the seventh, God rested. So, man’s first day on this earth was God’s day of rest, and it was from this rest that the man went out and worked. In other words, we come from the thought that we work, then we rest, but what my friend was suggesting was that first we must rest so as to prepare ourselves for work. As I’ve thought about this it’s started to make some sense. If I prepare myself spiritually, emotionally, and physically for what’s ahead then I’m better prepared for what comes. But it doesn’t stop just there. I’ve broken it down to a daily activity of rest. My mornings start with rest in that I read and journal each morning, (or at least attempt to, doesn’t always happen as planned). In this way, I mentally and spiritually enter into my day from a place of rest. Surprisingly, when I do this my days go much better than when I don’t. Think about it.
