For those who do not know Bill Pekarski, I can only say he is a wonderful man who has given so much to the community. He and Beth are loved by many and we know 2016 will be a good year for both.

Elk County eyes new building for recycling center
By Katie Weidenboerner katiew@thecourierexpress.com
Courier Express
ST. MARYS — Clad in winter attire, Elk County’s Solid Waste/Recycling coordinator Bekki Titchner, wandered through the vast and cold expanse of the 30,000 square foot industrial building she hopes to relocate the county’s recycling center to this year.
In November, the county agreed to purchase the property at 508 Washington St. in St. Marys for $920,000. Located directly across from Osram Sylvania, it formerly housed Advanced Recycling Equipment, which had been repossessed by Northwest Savings Bank.
Since the Elk County Solid Waste Authority started a fund drive for the new center, it has amassed $360,000 in funding, with another initial commitment of $200,000 from the Stackpole-Hall Foundation.
Several other grant requests are still being reviewed by various entities for equipment, a full assessment of the biomass system, and for the building as well as any changes which need to be made to it.
Find the full story in today's Courier-Express.

COUDERSPORT AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEMBERSHIP MEETING OF DECEMBER 15, 2015
COUDERSPORT AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEMBERSHIP MEETING OF DECEMBER 15, 2015 MINUTES RELEASED
The Coudersport Area Chamber of Commerce met on December 15 at Kaytee’s. The following people were in attendance: Caitlin George, CCMH; Joe Lagrua, Lagrew Printing; Helen Pryslak, Sweden Valley Manor; Brenda Whitman, Country Shoppe; Jane Lanius, Ross Glen Studios; Carl Lanius, Ross Glen Studios; Suzan Paisley, Rep. Causer; Jolee McGarvey, Kightlinger's; Stan Swank, Shop n Save; David Hyde, A Way Out; Genny Tilton, Wagner Ace Hardware; David Brooks, PCVA; Nancy Grupp, NWSB; Gerri Miller, Black Forest Broadcasting; Megan Simms, Colonial Media; Logan Gorg, Ross and Ross, LLC; Patty Giannotti, Secretary.
Call to Order: President, Stan Swank at 12:20 p.m.
Speaker: No speaker at this meeting, so we had extra time to socialize!
Approval of Minutes: Motion to approve by David Brooks, Jolee McGarvey seconded.
Treasurer’s Report: Ending balance for November: $5,836.22. Motion to approve by Nancy Grupp, Jolee McGarvey seconded.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Membership: Patty reported that the Multi-Care Center (Dr. Fink) is our newest member! She and Zach Williams continue to solicit new members, so please contact them with any ideas for potential members, so they can send out membership information to them. Zach has generated a new format for the membership list that hopefully is easier to read.
Arboretum: Stan reported that he has Dick Buchanan's resignation. Dick is retiring after many years of service. If anyone is interested in taking over the chairmanship of the Arboretum Committee, please contact Stan or Dick.
Public Relations: Britta was not able to attend the meeting, so Suzan reported on her behalf. The Northern Tier Trading Co. Cash Mob was not well attended, perhaps because it was held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Patty and David Brooks reported that the Artisan Center Open House/Cash Mob was a great success. The Artisan Center had a great sales day, and the event which featured food, live music, and local wine and cheese tasting was well attended and just plain fun! Suzan mentioned that she really enjoyed music being played outside on a speaker during the Open House - Carol Jackson's idea! It would be wonderful to have outdoor music throughout downtown Coudersport.
Suzan also reported that Ross & Ross, LLC had their Ribbon Cutting on Thurs., Dec. 12, and a photo of that event will be released to local media in the near future. Additionally, two other new members will be contacted after the holidays to possibly schedule Ribbon Cuttings.
Website and Facebook: Patty reported that Zach is continually working to improve the website, so keep the ideas coming!
Festival of Lights: Suzan reported that the Festival on Fri., Nov. 27 went well! Although there were no carolers, hot chocolate and cookies were served, and many families attended to join in the festivities! Chris and Genny Tilton were Santa and Mrs. Claus, and many families attended! Genny mentioned how rewarding it was to see the excitement of the kids and also mentioned that she would like to have Santa give something to the kids, such as a candy cane or coloring book, next year. The list of tree winners is on the Chamber Facebook page.
Route 6 Project/Downtown Development: David Brooks reported that Bev Morris, Borough Manager, told him not to be concerned about the route for the Potter Co. Marathon in 2016, because it looks like the Route 6 Project through Coudersport may be delayed until 2017. David mentioned that perhaps the change in the lead engineer may be the cause, while others at the meeting said perhaps it is because of the PA State Budget impasse. Regardless, nothing is official, so updates will be forthcoming. David also reported that Susan Kefover met with the Secretary of PennDOT and was able to secure additional PennDOT funding for curbing and possibly sidewalks, as well!
PCVA/Artisan Center & Chamber Partnership: David Brooks mentioned that another interesting aspect to the Cash Mob was that Card Creek Trading Post Winery was able to obtain a special permit from the PLCB to sell its wine at the Center that evening. Additionally, Carol Jackson coordinated with God's Country Creamery to obtain four varieties of their cheeses to taste and sell at the Center on a test basis. The Artisan Center is going to reexamine its bylaws, application, etc. in January, as well as draft a new budget. The building improvements are going as planned, and the storm window inserts have helped immensely already. Susan Lemons has graciously donated a snowblower for the building! Patty mentioned that she has been approached by someone suggesting that an incentive, such as Chamber Bucks, might be instrumental in attracting non-artisan volunteers to staff the Artisan Center, and the determination was made to pass on this idea for the next Artisan Roundtable meeting in January.
Route 6 Heritage: Nothing to report.
New Business:
-Stan reported that the drawing for the Chamber Holiday Raffle is on Fri., Dec. 18 at 3 p.m. at the Chamber Office. If you have any raffle tickets that have been sold, please return them to the Chamber Office before the drawing.
-Suzan reported that there is a Maple Festival planning meeting on January 12 at 5:30 p.m. at the Laurelwood Inn. Everyone is encouraged to attend with any ideas you may have! A previous meeting in November was not well attended, so hopefully the January meeting will draw more interest, since in 2016 the Maple Festival will celebrate its 50th Anniversary!
Old Business:
-Stan reported that Chamber Board Elections were held in November to fill three seats and that he and Genny Tilton were elected. There was a tie for the third spot, and per the Chamber bylaws, Megan Simms was elected to fill that seat.
Member News:
-David Brooks had a lot of news to report for the PCVA:
--There is still advertising space available on the new Potter County map he is working on, and he showed us a mock-up of the map. There will be 15,000 copies printed and they are distributed through a vast array of tourist outlets. This is a very popular map and prices for advertising start at $135. Contact David ASAP if you are interested in buying a spot!
--The PCVA was just contacted by Competitor Magazine and they are going to feature the God's Country Half Marathon as one of the "Top 25 Half Marathons to do in 2016"! Registration is already open for the marathon!
--Another advertising opportunity coming out shortly is a new travel guide for the PA Route 6 Alliance, so watch your email!
--Denton Hill will definitely not be opening for skiing this season. There will be a public meeting on Wed., Jan. 20 in the late afternoon at either the Denton Hill Ski Lodge or the PA Lumber Museum to discuss the results of the online survey and inform the public of the park's current status. Keep your eyes open for the exact place and time.
--The Potter Co. Vintage Snowfest will be rescheduled in February.
-Genny Tilton reported that Wagner Ace Hardware is currently making many improvements to its building, and there is a lot of enthusiasm among the employees and customers alike with regard to the rearranging of the store.

Meeting Adjourned: 1:02 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Patty Giannotti, Secretary
Next CACOC Member Meeting: January 19, 2015 @ Noon at Kaytee’s.

Stay Safe, Enjoy Winter Activities
Always wear protective gear and exercise proper safety precautions
Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) reminds Pennsylvanians of all ages to stay safe during the winter months, while driving or enjoying many outdoor activities. With variations in temperature and density of snow, outdoor activities and driving can become more dangerous than adults or children realize, leading to injury and even death.
PennDOT District 2 reminds every one of the following safety guidelines:
· People should stay away from the path of snowplows and snow blowers.
· Avoid having snowy or frosty windows. They should be free from obstruction so drivers have clear visibility.
· Children’s play areas should be away from roads, fences and water.
· Icy roads make it difficult to stop quickly. Take extra caution when crossing roads and stay out of the way of oncoming vehicles.
· Throw snowballs at safe targets, like trees or telephone poles, they should never be aimed at people or vehicles.
· Children should never play on roadside snow banks, nor should anyone stand beside a roadside snow bank where they are not visible to traffic. Snowplow drivers or other drivers may not see you.
· Always sled in familiar territory. Stay away from roads, creeks, rivers, railroads, parking lots, and other potential hazards, such as trees, picnic tables and swimming pools.
· While sledding, wear a helmet that meets bike helmet standards.
· Always sled in the daylight, never at night.
· Only use a sled that can be steered and is in good condition. Never ride a sled being pulled by a car, truck or ATV.
Drivers are reminded to drive with caution around downtown and more heavily populated areas, obey the posted speed limits and always buckle up.

PITT-BRADFORD SPRING SPECTRUM SERIES FEATURES STUDENT ARTISTS
The attached photo shows a painting by Aaron Kagan Putt, one of the artists to be featured in the spring Spectrum series at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. |
Events are free unless otherwise noted.
Student and community writers will share their work at the Baily’s Beads Celebration to unveil the 2016 edition of the award-winning literary magazine at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 20 in the Mukaiyama University Room of the Frame-Westerberg Commons.
The following week painter Aaron Kagan Putt will open an exhibition of his work with a free artist talk and reception at noon Feb. 4 in the KOA Art Gallery of Blaisdell Hall. His work involves immersion in unfamiliar environments and cultures and features his impressions of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico; Central America; Latin America and West Africa.
The exhibition will be on display from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday through March 4.
At noon, Feb. 18, multi-instrumentalist blues artist Jerron “Blind Boy” Paxton will play a blend of traditional jazz, blues, folk and country in the Studio Theatre in Blaisdell Hall. Will Friedwald of the Wall Street Journal wrote that Paxton is “virtually the only music-maker of his generation – playing guitar, banjo, piano and violin, among other implements – to fully assimilate the blues idiom of the 1920s and ’30s.”
In March, Spectrum and the Women’s History Month Committee will present “The Other Mozart” at 7:30 p.m. in the Studio Theater. Created by Sylvia Milo, the monodrama is set in a stunning 18-foot dress designed by Magdalena Dabrowska from the National Theater of Poland.
After the 75-minute performance, a discussion will take place in conjunction with Women’s History Month.
Later that month, “Affairs of the Art,” the annual exhibition of student artwork will open at noon March 18 and last through April 18 in the KOA Art Gallery.
In April, students working with Dr. Kevin Ewert, professor of theater, will reveal an original play as part of the University of Pittsburgh’s Year of the Humanities. Students are working with the Pitt-Bradford Prison Education Program and the Federal Correctional Institution – McKean to explore and express ideas about being human in a prison setting. Students will work with inmates to find stories for an original creation.
There will be an on-campus production of the show, with details to be announced at a later date.
The Spectrum season will be capped off by a performance by the Pitt-Bradford Vocal Arts Ensemble at noon April 14 in KOA Speer Electronics Lobby.
