Marian Roberta “Puddy” KRAMER, 92, of Whitesville, NY
Marian Roberta “Puddy” KRAMER, 92, of Whitesville, NY, died Tuesday, October 29, 2019 in her home.
Puddy loved an occasion....if granted, her wish would have been to be at and enjoy her own funeral? What a fun-loving person she was. A woman who loved life. As a child she was known for her unruly curls and pug nose, which earned her the name Puddy.
Pud was born in her family home, June 26, 1927, and died on October 29, 2019, in the arms of her devoted daughter, Kay.
She was the daughter of Ernest and Martha Crittenden Kear. Puddy skated her way into the heart of Donald J. Kramer at Funland Skating Rink, whom she married on October 11, 1947, in Olean. Don predeceased her on February 23, 2015.
Puddy graduated from Whitesville Central School in 1945. She remained in Whitesville her entire life. On graduating high school, Puddy went to work for Harry Graves and Son. After marriage, she and Don owned and operated several businesses including, the DJ Kramer Jewelry and Appliance Store for 12 years, the Donald J. Kramer Insurance Agency from 1952-1989, and Kramer and Clark Arctic Cat Snowmobile Sales from 1970-1985.
Pud also worked at Alfred State College as a secretary at what is now the University Police from 1968-1970. She left there and in 1971 opened what was known as “Ye Hubbard’s Cupboard” on Madison St. in Wellsville, a senior citizen outlet store. This led her to becoming an advocate for senior citizens in Allegany County.
Puddy was an active participant in the Republican Party in Allegany County. She and Don were the Committee Chairpersons for the Town of Independence for many years.
Puddy was also a lifelong member of the Whitesville Methodist Church and faithfully read her daily devotionals. She was involved in many, many activities that supported the church. Antiques, church, politics and senior citizens fulfilled her life, along with her great love for animals.
The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude for the outstanding care and love shown by Puddy’s caregivers, Kathy Luce, Sandy Knowles, Jackie Robbins, and Terri Outman. Our hearts are also thankful for the care and love from her nurse, Cheryl Richardson.
Surviving are: a daughter, Kay (Stephen) Nagy of Whitesville; a granddaughter, Kristin Kazmirski of Syracuse; two great-grandsons, Jace Patrick and Cole Stephen; many nieces and nephews; along with her faithful little dog, Dixie.
In addition to her husband, she was predeceased by five brothers, Cleon Kear, Kenneth Kear, Clair Kear, Donald C. “Link” Kear, and Dougal Kear; three sisters, Donna Kailbourne, Dortha Krebs, and Norma Rounds.
Friends may call at the First United Methodist Church, Main Street, Whitesville, NY on Saturday, November 9, 2019 from 10:00 AM – 12:00 Noon, with Funeral Services following at 12:00 Noon. The Rev. Kim Smith will officiate. Burial will be in Whitesville Rural Cemetery.

Write In Larry Hinrichsen For Potter County Commissioner
A Promotional Booklet for Potter County
Our booklet will say “Welcome to God’s Country, Potter County”. The advertising booklet now puts us on the short “end of the stick” by leaving out “God’s Country”. This is Potter Counties trade mark known all over the country. Our booklet will not leave out the towns of northern Potter County. Where Genesee would be there is now an arrow pointing to Wellsville NY. Shinglehouse is not shown at all on the map as are other smaller towns. Theses towns should be represented as well as the larger towns. This will show shoppers where the smaller towns are in Potter County.
This booklet would be free to the people of Potter County. In the past, this booklet listed more than fifty churches. The present advertising booklet shows one church.

Your Safety
Potter County can use me to protect your back for your safety. Diana and I have always been dedicated to the community fighting for organic food on a national level. In 2004 the “Dam Show” was kicked out of Austin by the people of Austin because of safety issues. We thought they had learned their lesson and gave them the Genesee Environmental Center to use for free. When the event took place they put underage children as their security force. After the show, I attended a meeting in Coudersport. I mentioned that they should have a mature safety force. Their response was they should throw me out “on the double yellow line “ in front of the court house. I left the meeting. Shortly after that the Genesee Natural Foods truck was stolen. Thanks to the Pennsylvania State Police, they recovered the truck. There were two hang man nooses hung on the rear view mirror. Not only did they recover the truck, they kept our company from going out of business. Our employees continued to receive their paychecks from 2005 to 2018. Also the the Potter County D A office looked into the matter which encouraged us to stay in business. This was a political crime.
Vote for Larry Hinrichsen for Potter County Commissioner, a write in.
A Creative Co-Op Plan for a Potter County Park System
We need a county park system that will make money for the general fund and improves the environment for the area. A year round swimming pool of clear mountain spring water would help do this. The quality of life this facility will provide will be enriching. It would encourage people in the high tech world to want to come live here.
Out door camping with great facilities is being sort after by many folks living in the cities. A co-op plan with the state, residents would pay a dollar, non residents, who would stay at the motels, would pay ten dollars. If you stayed at a state park you would receive a discount at this facility and the state would receive a “finders fee”. Let’s work together and make this a reality.

The award was made during a reception following a workshop on youth suicide with Kelsey Johnson of Western Psychiatric Institute’s S.T.A.R. Center.
Grolemund is a 2011 graduate of the Pitt School of Social Work at the Bradford campus. She is a forensic social worker with Dickinson Inc. in Ridgway, working with inmates at the Elk County Jail.
Colleague and fellow alumna Cassie Kreckel ’15 of St. Marys nominated Grolemund, citing her fierce, compassionate advocacy for those she serves and describing how Grolemund “works very hard to prevent recidivism as well as promote personal growth and well-being.”
Dickinson works with clients who have issues with behavioral health and intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The Excellence in Social Work Award is given each year to a graduate of the MSW program at Pitt-Bradford who has made meaningful contributions to social work through consistent excellence.
Cousins was an alumna of the program as well as an instructor. She was a long-time member of the Pennsylvania Children and Youth Administration and director of Children and Youth Services for Elk County. She died in 2012 as the result of an automobile accident.
The Pitt MSW program at Pitt-Bradford is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education and provides interested students in the region with the opportunity to earn a graduate degree in social work on a part-time, structured basis.

Hughey Family Award for Resilience established to support OHS grads
Ellen Hughey Reynolds credits a meaningful portion of her life’s success to the education she received, in both academics and life in general, at Olean High School.
In appreciation of that education, she has established the Hughey Family Award for Resilience at the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation to honor her family and express gratitude for the education her family received at Olean High School.
“Early in my career, it was apparent to me that I had received a terrific education, a grounding, in high school. I had my four-year degree and a degree beyond that, and I was working on Wall Street, but the Olean foundation was key,” said Hughey Reynolds, who had a long and successful career in human resources and management. “And not just in terms of academics, but also in terms of civic values and appreciating the individuality of students.”
Hughey Reynolds, her three siblings, and their mother all attended Olean High School. Without that solid education, she said, their future success may not have been possible.
“I feel strongly that the caliber of the academics was very high,” she said. “Equally important, we were expected to perform up to our potential and to demonstrate good values.”
Education was about more than academics, she said.
“Olean placed a value on being a well-rounded student, which communicated to us that it was also important to be a well-rounded person,” she remembered.
The Hughey Family Award for Resilience will support Olean High School students pursuing post-secondary education (including 2- and 4- year institutions or vocational schools), with an emphasis on a student who demonstrates resilience.
The award will be a minimum of $500 per student and is renewable for up to four years. The student recipient must be in good academic standing and demonstrate financial need.
Most importantly, though, the student’s goal statement in the application must demonstrate resilience by stating how s/he has overcome adversity with grace, carried on despite disappointments, failures, or hardships, or, if lucky enough not to have personally experienced a hardship, must state how s/he has demonstrated compassion and support of those who have had such challenges.
“The focus on resilience is because the older I get, the more I believe that the difference between success and failure is often perseverance,” she said. “It’s thinking, ‘Okay, that happened, but I am going to carry on. I am not going to give up or feel ‘less than’ because I have encountered this challenge. I am going to figure out how to make lemonade out of these lemons and not to be overwhelmed by what appears to be defeat.”
Hughey Reynolds felt compelled to include a component celebrating resilience in the scholarship because it was a character trait valued by her family, and honoring her family is at the heart of this scholarship fund.
“As you get older, you are in a position to do something other than just have good thoughts and feelings about how others contributed to your development,” she said. “You can do something tangible. This scholarship is an external expression of the love I have for my family and the deep appreciation I feel for OHS. I trust it will also lend a helping hand to someone who needs and deserves it.”
CRCF Executive Director Karen Niemic Buchheit expressed the foundation’s appreciation for such a thoughtful scholarship.
“It touches you to see an Olean native and OHS alumna decide to give back to the community where she grew up in such a meaningful way and with such sincere intentions,” said Buchheit. “As financially beneficial as the scholarship will be, it will be equally inspiring to student recipients, and we at the Foundation hope it will encourage and celebrate resilience, perseverance and compassion in a special group of students.”
If you are interested in exploring the possibility of setting up a scholarship, contact the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation at 301 North Union St., Suite 203 or online at cattfoundation.org.
For 25 years, the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation has been the area’s supportive, responsive and trusted community foundation. Established in 1994, CRCF is growing good by connecting donors to the causes they care about most in the region. Grants from the foundation support many areas, including education, scholarships, health care, the arts, community development, human service, and youth development.

MASON HILL BRIDGE CLOSED
Cameron County T-302 Bridge over Sterling Run
After consultation with the project engineer and bridge inspector, the Cameron County Commissioners have closed the temporary bridge at the bottom of Mason Hill Road near Sterling Run. This is due to the damage caused by the recent heavy rain event and subsequent high water that occurred on the evening of Thursday, October 31, 2019. A marked detour will now be in effect.
The anticipated completion date for the permanent bridge project is November 19th, 2019. Any delays or changes to this anticipated completion will be communicated through future releases.
