Grace Bradford of Coudersport now has a Service Dog
Grace Bradford of Coudersport now has a Service Dog
 |
| Grace Bradford & Kingston |
After 4 years of fundraising and waiting, the Bradford family has welcomed Kingston, a 2 year old black Labrador Retriever into their home to serve their 12 year old Autistic daughter Grace.
Grace was diagnosed with autism when she was 4. This fall, Grace will be entering seventh grade at Coudersport Jr and Sr High School. Grace has two sisters, Lily and Dana.
According to Mollie, her daughter’s autism leads to disruptive behavior. Due to Grace’s emotional meltdowns, routine errands such as grocery shopping with their daughter were nearly impossible — until now.
The family worked with the nonprofit organization Susquehanna Service Dogs , which is based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The fee to get a trained service dog from the organization was $5,000, which the family raised from different scholarships, a yard sale, and donations. It costs SSD between $20,000 and $25,000 to raise, and train each puppy into a full-fledged Service Dog. Most of the difference is paid for by different fundraisers and corporate donations to SSD and its parent agency, Keystone Human Services.
On October 5th, Grace and her mom traveled to Harrisburg to meet Kingston and train with him for two and a half weeks. Kingston is 24 months old and has been trained as an service dog since he was a puppy.
According to Mollie, Kingston has learned to track Grace if she wanders off and knows how to comfort her if her mood becomes elevated.
On October 22nd Grace and Kingston passed the service dog public access test and they now return to Coudersport as a Service Dog Team. They will be partners. Kingston will be an extension of Grace.
The Bradford’s have already seen a difference in Grace’s demeanor and behavior after the 1st week of training.
While in public places, Grace leads Kingston on a “loose leash” and has a comfort trainer over his nose that helps him focus. The comfort trainer is not a muzzle, and Kingston can eat and do typical things with it on.
“Grace loves him, and he loves her,” Mollie said. “They sleep in the same bed.”
“It’s been life-changing,” she said.
As for Susquehanna Service Dogs, the Bradfords said the organization has been with the family every step of the way. She said the organization has offered to provide additional training or refresher courses for Kingston if needed. SSD trains service dogs for all different types of disabilities whether visible or invisible.

Public Stargaze Programs to Resume in Spring of 2015
Public Stargaze Programs to Resume in Spring of 2015
Cherry Springs State Park's public stargaze programs have concluded for 2014. These free public education outreach programs will resume in April or May of 2015. The park is still open to stargazing year round. The Astronomy Observation Field is for overnight stay for those with telescope (fee required). The rustic campground (camping fees) is scheduled to be close on November 16th and the water in the main restrooms located on the Astronomy Field will most likely be shut off on that date as well. There is a CXT ( pit vault) restroom located on the back side of the Astronomy Field.
The Night Sky Public Viewing Area (where the public programs are held) is open to anyone wishing to stargaze for a few hours and there is no fee for using this area. Those wishing to use the area should park in the public parking lot and walk over to the amphitheater where benches for viewing are provided.
For specific information about the park and stargazing opportunities, visit the Cherry Springs Dark Sky Fund FaceBook page, or their website at www.csspdarkskyfund.org. or you may call Lyman Run State Park which administers Cherry Springs at (814) 435-5010 or contact them at lymanrunsp@pa.gov
The Dark Sky Fund/Association would also like to thank all of the Dark Sky Team volunteers for their dedicated and hard work this year and to Greg Snowman, EES, for his excellent programs.

Bipartisan Congressional Career & Technical Education Caucus, Education Advocates and Employers: Skills Gap Can Be Overcome With Adequate Training, Integrated Programming
Bipartisan Congressional Career & Technical Education Caucus, Education Advocates and Employers: Skills Gap Can Be Overcome With Adequate Training, Integrated Programming
| |
Harrisburg, PA – Today, U.S. Representative Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson (PA-5), Co-Chairman of the bipartisan Congressional Career & Technical Education (CTE) Caucus, held a field hearing in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to discuss “The Role of Career & Technical Education in Creating a Skilled Workforce: Perspectives from Employers and Stakeholders.”
Thompson was joined by Pennsylvania State Senator John Blake (PA-22), U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (PA-3), U.S. Representative Scott Perry (PA-4), and the Caucus received witness testimony from education and workforce advocates and representatives from a range of private industries and employment sectors.
“We have an obligation, whether as local, state or federal policy makers, to ensure that all Americans have access to quality programs that will equip them with the skills needed to succeed in an evolving and globally competitive job market,” stated Rep. Thompson. “Today’s witness panel offered a range of insights into how we improve career and technical education programs, involve employers of all sizes, and ensure that individuals will have access to good paying, family sustaining jobs. I want to thank Senator Blake for his leadership in elevating the importance of CTE and for welcoming us to Harrisburg for this important hearing.”
"I was very glad to welcome Congressman Glenn Thompson and the bipartisan Congressional Career and Technical Education Caucus to the state capitol. Today's hearing, marked by exceptional testimony from CTE experts and practitioners, elevates the urgency of improved career focused education for our children,” stated Sen. Blake. “We need to better connect our schools to the business community -- and our business community to our schools -- so our children can find that spark to take them on the path to a successful career in the trades that build America and that pay family sustaining wages. Early and effective career development assures for our children a more efficient transition from school to the world of work and enhances our state's economic growth."
“CTE has a critically important role in developing the skilled workforce necessary to keep our nation economically competitive,” stated Ms. Kimberly A. Green, Executive Director, The National Association of State Directors of Career Technical Education Consortium. “Today, more than ever, the spotlight on CTE is being shown on CTE as a proven strategy that engages students, aligns talent with opportunity, and ensures preparation for the workforce and further education. As employers struggle to find the skilled workers needed to fill millions of job vacancies, it is critical that CTE play a larger role in expanding the nation’s talent pipeline. Future Perkins legislation must strike a balance between the immediate labor needs of employers and the projected needs of the wider economy in the years to come.”
“CTE educators and employers need each other. There can be little effective technical training without collaboration between the two sectors – and not just one time or occasionally. What’s needed is a sustained, structured exchange of information and often day-to-day cooperation,” stated Ms. Tamar Jacoby, President of Opportunity America, testifying on behalf of the Opportunity America Jobs and Careers Coalition. “I’d like to thank Rep. Thompson for holding this hearing. I know my members are grateful for your leadership on workforce policy. The coalition looks forward to working with you and other members of the panel, to deliver on the promise of career and technical education – teaching young people the skills they need to be productive in the workplace even as it provides employers with the workers they need to remain competitive in a rapidly changing global economy.”
“My organization is experiencing a workforce skills gap as baby boomers begin to retire, taking with them the much needed, and not easily replaceable hands-on experience and conventional knowledge they acquired over years in the industry,” stated Ms. Amanda Novak, Human Resource Manager, Tri-M Group, and the Associated Builders and Contractors Eastern Pennsylvania Apprenticeship Trust Chairman. “Pennsylvania has identified construction trades, including electricians, as a high priority occupation, but there’s still a lot of work to be done to align the skills shortage with our education system.”
"Companies decide to move into an area or relocate out of an area based on whether they can have access to a skilled workforce. They look to the career & technical schools to provide a pipeline of trained workers," stated Sandra Himes, Executive Director of the Lehigh Career & Technical Institute, Lehigh County, PA. "The ingredients of quality CTE programs rely upon the true involvement from business and industry.”
