MATTIS RETIRES AFTER 36 YEARS OF TEACHING ENGINEERING
Mattis had taught at Pitt-Bradford since 1985. He was a W.C. Foster Fellows Visiting Fellow at the U.S. Department of State Verification and Compliance Bureau, Office of Nuclear Affairs, and has served as a consultant for the department.
As director of the two-year engineering program, Mattis helped students find internship opportunities and assisted them in transferring to the university’s Pittsburgh campus for the completion of their program. He regularly communicated with the engineering school in Pittsburgh to coordinate the engineering program and kept its curriculum current.
He adapted the campus’s two-year engineering program that required continuing on at another school into a stand-alone Associate of Science in engineering science degree that could also be used toward a Bachelor of Science degree.
In 2015, he received the Chairs’ Faculty Teaching Award for excellence in teaching.
“Ron has proven himself to be a dedicated and talented teacher,” said Dr. Yong-Zhou Chen, professor of mathematics, who nominated Mattis for the award.
“Ron’s teaching evaluations are always well above the Engineering School mean,” Chen said. “He always pays attention to students' understanding of the material, problem-solving ability and class participation.”
In the years before his retirement, he worked with Dr. Matt Kropf, associate professor natural sciences/petroleum technology, and Klaus Wuersig, retired assistant professor of engineering, to develop the engineering technology programs set to launch next year, including working on the curricula and proposed lab equipment lists. In addition, he worked with architects during the design of the campus’s new Engineering and Information Technologies building slated for completion next fall.

The excitement has been so great in the PA Wilds that we’re opening another class this spring! The program provides training on a variety of environmental topics, including water quality,
stream health, stormwater management, native plants, wildlife, and geology. This is followed by hands-on volunteer opportunities with partner organizations and agencies in Cameron, Elk,

Potter County Impact Fund
“The Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers and its Potter County Advisory Board is committed to making an immediate impact. The Potter County Impact Fund is an unrestricted endowment fund whose assets grow through gifts from the people of Potter County and investments,” said Benjamin R. Olney, Past Board Chairman and Potter County Advisory Board member.
He also explained how CFTT came to have a piece of Benjamin Franklin’s estate, “The legacy of Benjamin Franklin is one that continues to touch the lives of Americans every day. In his Will, Franklin stated that he wished to be useful even after his death. He left a bequest of 1,000 pounds of sterling silver. The terms of the bequest were that the funds could not be touched for 200 years. Therefore, in 1991, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania had over 2 million dollars from the estate to distribute. The state felt that the community foundations throughout Pennsylvania had the best sense of each region’s needs. CFTT received a portion of this financial distribution from Franklin’s estate. At the CFTT, as well as other community foundations in Pennsylvania, the Ben Franklin Trust continues to support areas of need in our community.”
“There is no greater illustration however, here in Potter County the recent Art & Phyllis DuBois gift is our own home county example,” added Benjamin R. Olney. “It is these donors that have had the foresight though their generosity to leave a legacy that will help us find the solutions to todays and tomorrow’s problems.”
The Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers serves the counties of Bradford, Potter, Sullivan, Tioga (PA) and Tioga (NY). Since 2002, the Community Foundation has built a strong reputation for helping individuals, families, corporations, and non-profit organizations achieve their charitable goals. Through its grant making, Community Foundation partners with non-profits to find solutions to the area’s most pressing issues. It is through this potent combination of its generous community members and organizations working hard at helping those who are less fortunate that the Community Foundation can fulfill its mission. The Community Foundation currently has $11 million in assets and manages over 120 funds. We can be reached at www.twintierscf.org or (570) 888-4759.
Allegany County Democrats Thank Health Care Heroes

| Volunteers preparing cookies for delivery |
On December 13 and 14, over 1,700 homemade cookies were delivered to the estimated 850 employees at Allegany County’s health care facilities: Wellsville Manor, Manor Hills, Highland Park Rehabilitation and Jones Memorial Hospital in Wellsville, the Cuba Memorial Hospital in Cuba, and the Houghton Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Houghton.
This is the second year that volunteers for the Allegany County Democratic Committee have organized this project. Those involved do it to show support for our local health care workers, let them know they are appreciated, and thank them for their dedication and commitment during this prolonged COVID 19 pandemic.
More than 50 volunteers from all corners of the county baked and donated cookies. The cookies were packed in individual bags by volunteers (masked and gloved!) at several locations around the County. Each bag had a tag that read: “To the unknown hero receiving this message: Thank you for all you do. We are very grateful! Allegany County Democratic Committee 2021”
Martha Sabato, Committee Vice Chair and a key organizer for this project, spoke for all: “No matter how we phrase it, words can never express our appreciation for the health care heroes in our midst. We recognize their commitment and compassion over yet another year dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. We owe them a debt of gratitude for caring for our loved ones, our dearest friends, and our neighbors.”

A Living Nativity At the First Baptist Church in Roulette Today (Dec. 18)
The Youth Group, God’s Adventure Camp, the Crusader Club, volunteers from the First Baptist Church and other churches will present a Living Nativity Friday, December 17th and Saturday, December 18th from 6-8 pm. It will be held at the First Baptist Church on Main Street, Roulette. It will be a drive or walk-through theater with four life scenes of the First Christmas - (or, at least our depiction of them.)
You'll be greeted by a Roman Centurion taking the census. This was one of the reasons Mary and Joseph were to go to Bethlehem- to register for their taxes.
The first scene will be of the angels announcing the glad tidings of Jesus' birth to the shepherds. There will be real sheep, horses and live people depicting the angels and shepherds. The Biblical narrative will be heard over a sound system, and carolers will interject Christmas carols. Imagine the shepherds’ shock!
The second scene will be the actual Nativity at the stable. All the real animals -, cow, calf, sheep, goat, donkey and mule will be there. A live Mary, Joseph and innkeeper will be there as well. A real baby Jesus may be there, depending on the weather. The Biblical story will be heard here. Pause to drink in the enormity of it all- Almighty God becoming human flesh!
The third scene is the palace scene of the time when the wise men come to see King Herod. They are inquiring as to where they can find the newborn King of the Jews. King Herod is jealous of a new king. Hear the Bible account from the Gospel of Matthew.
The fourth and final scene is the home where the wise men bring their gifts to the young child, Jesus. Rejoice with them as they see the star and find the Savior. Our stand-in camels, (horses and maybe alpacas) will be here. Hear the rest of the story and enjoy beautiful Christmas music.
There is no admission charge. Free hot chocolate, cookies and literature will be available.
Animals may be petted. Pictures and videos are encouraged. Donations may be made to the Roulette Youth Ministry or God’s Adventure Camp.

Theodore I. Culp 79, of Galeton (Carter Camp), PA.
Theodore I. Culp of Galeton (Carter Camp) passed away with his wife, Rosalind, at his side on the evening of Sunday, December 12, 2021 at Coudersport Memorial Hospital.
Theodore (Ted) was born on June 28, 1942, to Paine Culp and Evelyn Weimer Culp. He was a graduate of Galeton High School, and with the exception of a few brief interludes, spent the majority of his life on the family farm located a few miles from Carter Camp. Despite being a “jack-of-all-trades” and somewhat briefly, but successfully, working at a few other professions, he was primarily a logger throughout his adult life. For most of his logging career, he was an independent contractor for Mallory Lumber Company in Emporium and Patterson Lumber Company in Galeton. Logging was more than a profession for Ted; it was an avocation. He absolutely loved being outside and running a chainsaw.
Ted was an avid deer hunter, an avid reader of many genres, a lover of old movies, a magnificent driver, a great teacher, and a proponent of all forms of education. He had an amazing memory and enjoyed having his well-rounded knowledge and memory challenged through scintillating conversation. Another favorite pastime for Ted was playing double Pinochle. Last, but not least, he loved family. Family was extremely important to him, and he proved it over and over throughout his life. He was always there to provide support and help to any family member or friend in need.
Ted is survived by two brothers, Aaron and Valren, his wife, Rosalind (Parker), son, Stuart and wife Nancy, daughters, Sandra (Boyer) and husband Scott, and Sherry (Zurlo) and husband Joe, seven grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren.
There will be no viewing or funeral services. Instead, there will be a summer picnic celebration of his life open to family and friends.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Hess Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Galeton.

| House Takes First Step Toward Voter ID Constitutional Amendment
The House took a first step toward amending the state Constitution to require voters to present identification each time they cast a ballot. I was pleased to support this proposed amendment, as there is broad support among all Pennsylvanians – Republicans, Democrats and Independents – for expanded voter ID laws to boost election security. We already show ID for most everything we do. It is not too much to ask to have people present ID when exercising their right to vote. Under the proposed amendment, voters would be required to present valid identification each time they cast their ballot, regardless of their method of voting. Any voter who does not have valid identification would be provided a government-issued ID at no cost to ensure no voter is disenfranchised by the requirement. The voter ID constitutional amendment is one of five proposed constitutional amendments included in Senate Bill 106. Other proposed amendments would:
In order to amend the state Constitution, these proposals must be passed in identical form by the House and Senate in two consecutive sessions of the General Assembly and then approved by voters in a referendum. The bill now returns to the Senate for its consideration. |

| Broadband Expansion Measure on Governor’s Desk
The state House and Senate unanimously approved my legislation aimed at boosting access to high-speed internet service in rural and other underserved areas of the Commonwealth this week. It is now pending the governor’s signature to become law (and he is expected to sign it). House Bill 2071 would establish the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority to facilitate funds anticipated through a federal infrastructure bill recently approved by Congress. We expect to receive at least $100 million initially with the potential to obtain more after the authority develops a statewide plan for broadband expansion. Under the bill, the authority would serve as a single point of contact for parties interested in developing broadband or having broadband developed, helping to minimize duplication and maximize the use of existing infrastructure. Additionally, the authority would be charged with identifying access to funding sources and helping to coordinate joint efforts for broadband buildout. The authority would sunset after 10 years or when all federal funds have been exhausted and obligations fulfilled. |

Fighting to protect hard-working Pennsylvanians, I joined a majority in the state House this week to reject proposed regulations by the Wolf administration to enroll the Commonwealth in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). Joining RGGI would do great harm and bring no benefit. RGGI was created as a means to cap CO2 emissions for power generation plants, but the Commonwealth is already OUTPERFORMING most states currently enrolled in the initiative in reducing our emissions. Joining RGGI would significantly increase the operating costs for power plants, and those costs will be passed on to consumers who are already struggling with the highest inflation rate in decades. The action would also lead to significant job loss in the energy industry. Finally, the governor’s unilateral actions to enroll the Commonwealth in RGGI represent yet another overreach of his authority that completely cuts out the voice of the people. Senate Concurrent Regulatory Review Resolution No. 1 will now go to the governor’s desk. |
