Potter County Courthouse Getting Facelift
Potter County Courthouse Getting Facelift
Potter County’s historic courthouse is getting a facelift to improve its appearance and structural integrity. The county’s maintenance department, under the direction of Joe Kurtz (right), is using a rented 80-foot lift to begin the project on the courthouse’s front side along East Second Street, facing south.The surface will be sanded, repainted and sealed. Work should be completed by early August. Cost has been estimated at about $10,000. Peeling paint is most noticeable on that side. Eventually, the other three sides of the courthouse will be addressed in the same manner. Employees will also be repairing cosmetics and window casings, while looking for other signs of structural deterioration.
Several years ago, the commissioners investigated a proposal to remove the multiple layers of paint applied to the original brick surface and preserve/restore the bricks. It was deemed too expensive, partly due to the added cost of disposal for a large volume of lead-based paint. The courthouse was built in 1851-53 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings. Its Greek Revival style, blended with later Victorian elements, and its setting in the open town square create a stately appearance. (John F. Domaleski photos)

Health Services Option Now Available for Penn State DuBois Business Students
Health Services Option Now Available for Penn State DuBois Business Students
DuBOIS – Through a partnership with Penn Highlands Healthcare, students in the Penn State DuBois Bachelor of Science in Business program will now be able to tailor their education to fit careers in the healthcare industry. The new Health Services Option will be available to business majors at the campus this fall. This option prepares students to pursue careers in the health services sector with emphasis on the organizational, management and administrative aspects of health care organizations.
Penn Highlands Healthcare in DuBois, Clearfield, Brookville and St. Marys will offer these Penn State students an internship experience at one of their Centers or Healthcare Offices.
"This option will allow students to gain a specialized knowledge of the healthcare industry, and hands-on experience from their internship," said Laurie Breakey, business program leader at Penn State DuBois. "They'll develop the skills needed to work in hospital administration, nursing home administration, health care clinic management, and more."
The Health Services option in the Bachelor of Science in Business degree allows a student to focus on studying and gaining real-world experience in the rapidly growing healthcare and health service industry. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics confirmed that 296,900 jobs were added to the healthcare sector in 2011. Locally, 16% of jobs in Clearfield County and neighboring counties are in the healthcare field. According to the North Central Workforce Investment Board of Pennsylvania, the healthcare industry is one of the High Priority Occupation areas in need of more educated and skilled workers to fill annual job openings across North Central Pennsylvania.

The second hearing session will begin at 6 p.m. on September 17, at the same location. As requested previously by DEP, anyone from the general public will have the opportunity to provide input about the application at the second session.
Interested persons and operators wishing to present testimony at either hearing should contact Glenda Davidson at 717-787-4449 at least seven days prior to the first session. Those giving testimony at the second session will be requested to submit three written copies of their oral testimony to the assigned hearing officer.

Known Female & Known Male Facing Charges After Physical Altercation
Since Jan. 1 this year, 275 teachers have been arrested for sexual misconduct with a child
| Since Jan. 1 this year, 275 teachers have been arrested for sexual misconduct with a child. |
Two-hundred
seventy-five. That's the number of teachers across America who have
been arrested for sexual misconduct with a student since January 1. It's more than one teacher for each day of the year so far.
When I last spoke on this subject on the Senate floor, in April, it was 130. Enough is enough.
It is time for the Senate to pass my bipartisan Protecting Students from Sexual and Violent Predators Act and crack down on those who prey on children.
As
the father of three young children, I cannot imagine the pain of a
parent whose child has been sexually abused. As your U.S. senator, I am
dedicated to strengthening laws to better protect kids - in Pennsylvania
and across our country.
The House of Representatives passed this legislation unanimously last year. It's time for the Senate to finally do the same. |

Barnum Road Detour starts July 28 in McKean County
ACT 89 Transportation Funds bring Bridge Replacement to Eldred Area
Barnum Road Detour starts July 28 in McKean County
Bradford – Funding from Act 89, the state’s new transportation plan, is making replacement of a bridge on Route 1011 (Barnum Road) near Eldred possible, according to PennDOT.
The structurally deficient bridge will be closed and a detour posted on Monday July 28.
The existing bridge spans Mix Creek, about two miles northwest of the village of Eldred. The current bridge was built in 1930 and carries an average of more than 2,100 vehicles each day. It will be replaced with a new box culvert.
PennDOT’s official detour is 20 miles long. Motorists will use Routes 1011 (Barnum Road), 346, and 546 to New York State and then use Cattaraugus County Road 45, New York State Route 16, and Cattaraugus County Road 29 before returning to PA Route 1011. Drivers familiar with the area may choose to use alternate routes.
Work is scheduled to last until late August. L.C. Whitford of Wellsville, New York is the contractor for this $480,000 job. Work will include removal of the current bridge, placement of the new box culvert, and a small amount of roadway and drainage improvements. All work is weather dependent.
Drivers are reminded to obey posted speed limits, follow detour signs, and always buckle up.

Morning Solitude
This morning I got up a little after 4am and proceeded to take the dogs out and fix a cup of coffee. By 4:30am I was out on the porch. It's interesting to me that there's not much going on at that hour of the morning. In the distance I can hear the trucks on the interstate that is about four miles away. Occasionally my wind chime makes a noise as a gentle breeze blows under my canopy, but beyond that, it's dead quiet, and I do mean quiet.
I find that in the solitude of the quiet, there is a great time for reflection. Some may call it prayer. But whatever you want to call it, it is the perfect time because there are no distractions. Even my Jack Russell, who is normally up and down my deck looking for chipmunks or other critters, finds time to sit quietly at my side. Solitude gives way to thought and meditation. It is a peaceful time, perhaps that's why I love mornings so much, less distraction and a great time to gather yourself together in preparation for the day. Perhaps that's why it was said that Jesus went off early to pray. There is something about the solitude of the quiet to calm one's spirit.
Slowly, as dawn starts to approach, I see a deer moving across my neighbor's lawn. I can only see its silhouette, and I questioned at first if was really seeing a deer or just shadows, but soon I realize that it was a deer and it's moving closer. Even my dog sees it, but it's content to sit at my side and just watch. I suddenly become aware that I'm hearing the birds and I look at my watch, it's 5:15am. You may not realize how much of a difference there are in the sounds at 4:30am and 5:15am, but it's dramatic. My solitude is broken as I listen to their morning songs and I realize that it's time to start my day. I have an early breakfast meeting, so for the next half hour or so, I need to get ready. But I take a moment to thank God for the quiet that I have had this morning. It has helped to prepare my attitude for the day. For that I am grateful. It is a peaceful way to start your day. We all can learn something from it. Think about it.
