Coudersport, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is alerting area drivers that a new Potter County bridge opened to traffic late this afternoon. Crews have been working since late August to replace the bridge, which spans a tributary of Pine Creek on Route 1001 (Sweden Hill Road) in Ulysses Township. Replacing the structure improves its condition rating from “poor” to “good”.
With the bridge open to traffic, a detour using Route 449 and Route 6 will be lifted. PennDOT thanks area drivers for their patience during this closure and detour.
Overall work included demolition of the old bridge, placement of a new concrete box culvert, approach paving, drainage improvements, guide rail installation, pavement marking, and miscellaneous construction. L.C. Whitford Co., Inc. of Wellsville, NY has been the contractor on this $768,000 job.

PERFORMANCES OF HAMILTON-GIBSON'S PRODUCTION OF "STRAY CATS" ARE OCT. 9, 10, 11, 16, 17 & 18 PRESS RELEASE WITH PHOTO AND CAPTION:

Photo by John Eaton
All four men in Hamilton-Gibson's production of "Stray Cats" are featured in the last scene. They are: (from left to right) Thomas Putnam, Ryan Dalton, Dave Driskell playing the saxophone and Rob Kathcart.
|
The play ends with a story of community. Three men played by Rob Kathcart, Ryan Dalton and Thomas Putnam stop what they are doing to engage with a street saxophone player, Wellsboro's Dave Driskell in "Jaguar Jesus." Caught up by the saxophonist's passion and skill, these men - all from different backgrounds and at different places in their lives - are drawn to him. Through his playing, the saxophonist is able to weave a connection between them and to people throughout the whole city whether they are aware of it or not.
"This is exactly what the sax and Dave's playing do throughout the entire show," said Putnam. "Dave opens the show and then connects each life story by playing between monologues, weaving the music through each of their desperate but often humorous lives and connecting the monologues together."
"Alone, But Not Lonely" is the first monologue. Tom played by Putnam "shares" at a twelve-step support group on Valentine’s day. "Good-bye Jack" features Dalton as a kid who works at the drive-thru window at Jack-in-the-Box. The night they take the clown away he realizes he’s “just another little drive-thru guy in orange and brown, alone on the graveyard shift.” "Jocko The Clown," portrayed by Kathcart, is backstage at a moment of crisis and suffers from extreme "mime block." In "The Poem Writer," Putnam plays a man, who, after having a little too much to drink, delivers a bitter, funny, self-loathing, self-aggrandizing speech to the Poem Writers Guild. Kathcart is an aging TV weatherman who has been kicked off the air for politically incorrect statements. His farewell apology skids into a near breakdown in "Ol' Gator." "Diary of a Voyeur" chronicles a writer played by Dalton who, instead of meeting his deadlines, spends months obsessing and writing about a couple in a window across his courtyard.
Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 9 and 10 and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 11 in the Warehouse Theatre at 3 Central Avenue in Wellsboro and on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 16 and 17 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 18 at 2:30 p.m.
Tickets are $14 for adults and $6 for youth, 18 and under. Also available are FlexPasses for $60. No tickets are sold at the door. They have to be ordered in advance and prepaid online at hgp.booktix.com or by calling the HG office at 570-724-2079 with credit card information.
Seating is limited. Reserved seats allow HG to meet pandemic social distancing protocols. All audience members are asked to wear masks and have their temperatures taken upon entering the building.

Master storyteller Jonathan Kruk will give a live, one-hour theatrical performance with a behind-the-scenes look at the history of the ghostly tales in Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" at noon on Saturday, Oct. 10. This show is free and open to the public thanks to sponsors Xtreme Internet and Indigo Wireless.
"The Legends of 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' — The Haunted History of the Headless Horseman and Sleepy Hollow's Ghosts'" is recommended for adults and children, ages 8 and older.
Kruk will present his show outdoors on the outdoor stage on the Central Avenue side of the Deane Center for the Performing Arts at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro. The audience is welcome to bring lawn chairs and/or blankets and sit on the grass in front of the outdoor stage or on Central Avenue, which will be closed to traffic between Main Street and the Warehouse Theatre to provide space for social distancing.
Dressed in 1790s period clothing, Kruk will tell how the Headless Horseman really lost his head along with the origin stories about the ghost of Tragical Major André, the Wailing Woman in White and other spirits surrounding this mythical figure. He brings these ghostly characters to life using varied voices, accents, gestures and audience participation.
"This program is family friendly with tales that are spooky but not scary or gory. It is also for adults, including ghost and history buffs," Kruk said. "Some of the stories are about the German soldiers that fought with the British Army during the American Revolutionary War."
Selected "Best Storyteller in New York's Hudson Valley," Kruk has been featured on NBC's The Today Show, CBS Sunday Morning, ABC's Good Morning America, The Travel Channel, and the BBC. He has eight award-winning recordings, and is the author of two books, “Legends and Lore of Sleepy Hollow and the Hudson Valley,” and “Legends and Lore of the Hudson Highlands.”

Hair By Holly Survives COVID-19

On Thursday, March 19th at 5:30 a fellow hairdresser called Holly and asked if she was closing by the governor’s mandate for that night at 8 p.m. Holly said, “At that moment in time I was in shock and disbelief. Two weeks to flatten the curve turned into 11 weeks of emotional stress. It was heart-wrenching being told that I was non-essential. Being closed down for 11 weeks under the governor’s guidelines was emotional stress. Watching the news daily, waiting for the governor to wave his magic wand, and how it affected me financially really hurt. I only know self-employed. If I wanted to make money, I had to work and did not know any different. Life as I knew it was gone. Every morning was a new nightmare. It is hard to accept the new normal. I felt like common sense was just gone because you can’t believe what you see and can’t believe what you hear and I just wasn’t sure what I felt in my heart anymore. The constitution says we are entitled to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
Holly continued by saying, “There was some good that came out of the shutdown. Local hairdressers in surrounding towns kept up with each other because of constant changing mandates and guidance with hopes of reopening. I was surprised by the number of customers that started reaching out offering me hope of reopening. I am not sure where the small business bail-out money was because I never got any. But I was very happy when we received notice that I could reopen my business. On Friday, May 22nd, Governor Wolf released guidance that beauty salons could open on Friday, May 29th with 50% capacity. I worked from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. just trying to get weekly customers back in the book. My list of customers waiting had really grown. Twenty-three perms, 36 hair colors, and 122 hair cuts were waiting for me to reopen. I was working between 60 and 65 hours a week to catch up and most people were patiently waiting for their turn. Business as usual had totally changed. At a 50% capacity and sanitation between customers, the wait to schedule appointments was my new normal. After 3 weeks of being reopened, the PA Department of State Board of Cosmetology finally released guidelines. I felt these strict mandates were made to apply to big city salons like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.”
Holly expressed her concern about being safe by saying, “My creativity had to come up with new levels of imagination. And above all, I needed to keep myself and my customers safe. The pressure and anxiety knowing that YOU may be the reason somebody’s health fails is like carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. I need to use common sense because it is hard living in fear and we all will have to learn how to live again in this new normal.”
Holly finished by saying, “I would like to say “Thank you” to Mount Jewett and surrounding communities for supporting all small businesses including me.”

Appalachian Regional Commission Names Abbi Peters as Appalachian Leadership Institute Fellow
Abbi Peters to Represent Pennsylvania in Intensive Regional Leadership Development ProgramSept. 30, 2020, PA WILDS – The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) has named Abbi Peters, Executive Vice President of Operations for the PA Wilds Center for Entrepreneurship (PA Wilds Center), as a 2020-2021 Appalachian Leadership Institute Fellow.
As a Fellow, Peters will participate in the Appalachian Leadership Institute, an extensive nine-month series of online skill-building seminars featuring regional experts, peer-to-peer learning, and case study analysis beginning in mid-October through July, 2021. Topics include:
Designing effective economic development project proposals;
Integrating community assets into long-lasting economic development strategies;
Identifying resources available to spur economic development;
Locating and accessing investment capital from a variety of public and private sources;
Preparing competitive applications for public grant opportunities; and
Using expanded leadership skills to create strong coalitions.
Upon completion of the program, Peters will automatically become part of the Appalachian Leadership Institute Network, a peer-to-peer working group committed to Appalachia’s future.
Peters is part of the founding staff at the PA Wilds Center, a nonprofit launched in 2013. The Center helps coordinate and advance the PA Wilds Conservation Landscape partnership effort that is helping revitalize the 13-county PA Wilds region by growing nature tourism under a regional place-based brand to create jobs, inspire stewardship, diversify local economies and improve quality of life.
Peters is a co-founder of the Center’s Wilds Cooperative of PA, a value chain network of more than 350 rural entrepreneurs and organizations; and of the PA Wilds Conservation Shop, the nonprofit’s brick-and-mortar stores at state parks that sell local products from the Wilds Cooperative, helping rural businesses thrive while also building visitor capacity in the region (the PA Wilds sees almost 15 times its population in visitors). Over the next year, Peters will be spearheading development of the Center’s online marketplace, which will allow rural entrepreneurs to sell online under the PA Wilds brand, control their own inventory, drop ship from their locations and keep a larger cut of each sale.
“Peters is on the front lines of building an entrepreneurial ecosystem tied to our region’s place-based brand that, even in these early stages, is allowing dozens of rural businesses and entrepreneurs use the PA Wilds brand to reach markets and grow their companies,” says PA Wilds Center Founder and CEO Ta Enos. “This is not easy stuff to figure out and make work on a huge, economically-distressed, highly-rural landscape like ours, and Peters is a key person helping us figure it out. She is an innovative thinker, one of the fairest people I know, and has built an incredible team around her. She is also super skilled at setting up processes and systems that allow for accountability and successful implementation. We are thrilled she was selected for the Institute.”
Investments through the Appalachian Regional Commission have helped seed parts of the PA Wilds Center’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, and Peters and her team have participated in many workshops and conferences held by or in partnership with ARC over the years.
“We greatly value this regional network and want to continue to participate in it by sharing what we’ve learned and learning from others who are advancing their communities through bold initiatives,” Enos says.
Peters was selected via a competitive application process. ARC received over 100 applications for the 2020-2021 Appalachian Leadership Institute class and selected 40 applicants.
“Congratulations to the new class of Appalachian Leadership Institute Fellows. The skills development and network-building opportunities offered by this program have proven to be valuable, and this past year has shown that effective local leadership is essential,” said ARC Federal Co-Chairman Tim Thomas. “This program has adjusted well to the present circumstance and offers a unique opportunity to learn first-hand from those who have provided leadership for their communities through difficult circumstances.”
The Appalachian Leadership Institute is a comprehensive regional leadership training program developed by the Appalachian Regional Commission in partnership with the University of Tennessee, Knoxville; The Howard H. Baker Center for Public Policy; Tuskegee University; and Collective Impact. This is the second year of the program.
More information, including a complete list of current Fellows, is available at www.arc.gov/leadershipinstitute.
