Lowell Thomas Graves, 68, of Genesee, PA
Lowell Thomas Graves, 68, of Genesee, PA, passed away on August 4, 2016 in the Buffalo, NY Veterans Association Medical Center. Lowell was born the second of seven children of Myron T. and Lillian Hulse Graves on August 28, 1947 in Genesee, PA. He was also half brother to four siblings born to Lillian from a previous marriage. Lowell spent the majority of his life in Genesee living with his beloved wife Bonnie J. O’Connor Graves in their picturesque homestead on the hill.
Of the things that mattered most to Lowell, his family and his home were paramount. He took immense pride in his home and land and dedicated countless hours to developing his property into a welcoming gathering place for his entire extended family to enjoy swimming, fishing, relaxing and bonding into a close knit and loving family unit. Most recently, Lowell spent his final fourth of July at the pavilion by the pond visiting with family and friends and proudly watching his grandchildren laughing, playing, and carrying on with family traditions such as feeding the fish and gathering around the campfire.
 |
| Vietnam War Veteran |
Following the war, Lowell went on to work for over thirty years at Dresser-Rand in Wellsville as an expert pipe welder. In his off time, Lowell loved to “play in the dirt” as he operated bulldozers, backhoes, dump trucks, and virtually any other type of equipment necessary to build his vision of paradise in rural Pennsylvania.
When Lowell was diagnosed with cancer he never complained or sought any kind of pity for his circumstance. His only worry was for the well being of the friends and family that he held so dear. As the consummate warrior, Lowell pushed himself to remain positive and to fight the disease. Ultimately Lowell succumbed to the cancer with his wife and children all by his side. He was able to maintain a smile and laugh all the way through those final hours. If Lowell were here to speak to us he would remind each of us to work hard, be honest, and to cherish the goodness of life and family
Surviving besides his wife, Bonnie, are: two sons, Chief Warrant Officer 4 Cory (Leslie) Graves of Springfield, VA and Brent (Renee) Graves of Genesee, PA; two loving step-daughters, Nicole (Adam) Schulenburg of West Henrietta, NY and Lorrie (William) Wales of Millerton, PA; six grandchildren, Alex Schulenburg, Ryan Schulenburg, Nolan Graves, Callie Wales, Jenna Wales, and Lucas Vandergrift; six siblings, Maude (Jim) Goodenough, Charles (Charlotte) Sutton, Barney (Marie) Sutton, Lynn (Judy) Graves, Linda (Roy) Thomison, and Lucy Copp; brother-in-law, Richard Nelson; and sisters-in-law, Sheri Graves and Debbie Graves; nieces and nephews.
Lowell was predeceased by his parents; a granddaughter, Charlotte Graves; two brothers, Leo Graves and Leon Graves; and two sisters Dorothy Nelson and Louise Payne.
A wake in Lowell’s honor will be held at his residence in Genesee on Sunday, August 7th from 1:00 – 5:00 PM. Military Rites will be accorded by members of the Potter County Honor Guard at 1:30 PM. All family and friends are invited to celebrate Lowell’s life and his journey home.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to one of the organizations that Lowell was proudly a member of, including the Disabled American Veterans, The American Legion, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Arrangements are entrusted to the Olney Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Ulysses, PA.

Construction to Begin on Potter County Bridge Project on Rt. 44
Bridge to be replaced as part of Public-Private Partnership
Clearfield, Pa. – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s (PennDOT) Rapid Bridge Replacement Project continues in Potter County in August with the reconstruction of a bridge in Hebron Township. Replacement of this bridge will provide area motorists with a new, modern structure that will remain in service for many years to come.
The bridge (JV-81) spans the South Branch of Oswayo Creek on Route 44 (Sullivan Road), about a mile southeast of the village of Hebron Center. Construction is expected to start during the week of August 15 and be complete in early November.
During this time, traffic will be restricted to one-lane, alternating in each direction, controlled by temporary traffic signals.
In the event of unfavorable weather or unforeseen activities, this schedule may change.
This bridge replacement is part of the Rapid Bridge Replacement Project, a Public-Private Partnership (P3) between PennDOT and Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners (PWKP) under which PWKP will finance, design, replace and maintain the bridges for 25 years. The P3 approach will allow PennDOT to replace the bridges more quickly while achieving significant savings and minimizing impact on motorists.
To see the bridges included in the statewide initiative and to learn more about the Rapid Bridge Replacement Project and P3 in Pennsylvania, visit www.P3forPA.pa.gov. Additional information on the project, the team and how to bid on the project can be found at www.PARapidBridges.com.

DEP Asks County Conservation Districts in Chesapeake Bay Watershed for Decision on Conducting Agricultural Inspections
Harrisburg, PA – As the next step in Pennsylvania’s plan to reduce annual loading of nitrogen, phosphorous and sediment entering the Chesapeake Bay, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has asked the 41 County Conservation Districts in the bay Watershed to finalize their role in conducting agricultural inspections.
“We recognize that for the Chesapeake Bay strategy to succeed, we have to focus on local water quality as our primary concern,” said Acting DEP Secretary Patrick McDonnell. “Our goal is that partnerships at the local and state level will directly translate into improving water quality at home, and in the bay, while meeting the federal Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements.”
Working with the conservation districts will help the Commonwealth identify opportunities and challenges to improving local water quality in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, while crediting those farmers and landowners who are doing their part to minimize agriculture-related runoff into local streams and rivers.
“The information we collect will help direct where resources are needed most to achieve our goals,” McDonnell said.
As part of its oversight of DEP’s activities, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has established an expectation that DEP will conduct inspections of 10 percent of the farms in the watershed annually.
The letter asks each conservation district in the bay watershed to decide if it will participate and conduct agricultural inspections in coordination with DEP. DEP provides funding for participating districts to support the trained technicians who would conduct the inspections.
Currently, conservation districts who coordinate with DEP perform educational visits on selected farms. This modification enhances the role of conservation district staff to conduct farm inspections to assure that farmers have completed Nutrient Management /Manure Management Plans and Agricultural Erosion and Sediment Control Plans, as required by current regulations.
For more information, please visit DEP’s Chesapeake Bay website.
