REPORT 400 MOTORCYCLES IN AREA FOR RUN
Many
prominent Potter County citizens proudly posed for formal portraits
painted by a world-class artist who just happened to reside in
Coudersport. Cyrenius Stilson Jones, who lived in Potter County 1847
until his passing in 1885, has left behind a treasure trove of paintings
spread across a wide area. Many have been lost.
But four of them reside
in the museum of the Potter County Historical Society, so it’s only
fitting that a public viewing of his works and discussion of his life –
and his subjects’ lives – will be held at the museum at 2 pm on Sunday, July 26.
A brief meeting of the Historical Society will precede the afternoon’s
program. Two other portraits by Jones that are on-loan to the museum
will be displayed, as will photographs showing some of his other works.
He was a prolific artist, painting numerous signs for downtown
businesses. The public is encouraged to attend the program and learn
more about these chapters of Potter County history. Jones painted this
portrait of attorney John S. Mann, which is on display at the museum of
the Potter County Historical Society. Mann was a vocal abolitionist
whose home served as an important station for the Underground Railroad.
Elected to the state legislature in 1865, and a delegate to the
Constitutional Convention in 1872, Mann introduced the Prohibitory Law
of 1869. It was intended solely for Potter County, prohibiting the sale
of alcoholic beverages and issuance of liquor licenses until it was
repealed in 1900.
Potter County Today
Local residents, including high school students, will also be
able to earn college credits that can be transferred to a four-year
university at a fraction of their on-campus cost. Representing Potter
County on the board are Commissioner Doug Morley (left) and Ed Pitchford
(right), chief executive officer of Charles Cole Memorial Hospital.
It’s part of a broader effort, coordinated locally by the Potter
County Education Council and the Potter County Commissioners, to give
local job-seekers the skills and training they need to secure local
jobs. Former Oswayo Valley School Superintendent Bob Wicker has been
spearheading that initiative. He has been meeting with local employers
large and small to assess their needs and craft training programs that
prepare local residents to fill their jobs. Contrary to popular belief,
Wicker said, many Potter County employers have job openings and others
would be willing to hire locally if they could find qualified
applicants.
A recent economic/employment profile of Potter, Cameron and five
other counties reinforced the point. Susan Snelick, executive director
of the North Central Workforce Investment Board, said the study showed
that employers are frustrated by the lack of qualified job applicants.
Employee turnover is a chronic problem. Many lack basic educational
qualifications and skills. Absenteeism, tardiness and an inability to
stay drug-free are chronic problems, Snelick noted. Many of the jobless
who possess skills and work ethic do not apply for work because they’re
getting by on unemployment compensation benefits.
The 100-page Workforce Investment Area Five-Year Plan was compiled to
better direct government resources to address the economic and social
challenges. It found that manufacturing jobs have been declining and are
expected to fall even more. Decreases are also expected in the
information sector, company management, government, retail, agriculture
and utilities. Employment opportunities will grow in the oil and gas
industries, finance, administrative support, waste management, real
estate, tourism, health care and social assistance. Some 8.7 percent of
the region’s adults hold bachelor degrees, compared to 16.1 percent
statewide. It’s estimated that 63 percent of local jobs will require at
least some college education by 2018.
