BRADFORD, Pa. – The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford honored scholarship donors and recipients at a luncheon held today in the Frame-Westerberg Commons.
The luncheon is an annual event where donors and the recipients of their scholarship funds have a chance to meet and share a meal.
So far during the 2021-22 academic year, 316 students have received $565,308 in donor scholarships.
Kyron James, a sophomore criminal justice major from Philadelphia, was the student speaker.
“You’re helping someone that thought about coming to college but never thought about how he would pay for it because of his background as a foster child,” he said. “Coming to Pitt-Bradford was the best decision of my life: I found work. I found people who love and care about my education, and most importantly, I found my own independence.”
James is the recipient of the Robert Wick Scholarship, named in memory
of the longtime Bradford attorney. At the luncheon,
he had the opportunity to meet someone with experience in the field of
law, the Hon. John Cleland, former McKean County president judge and
former chair of the Pitt-Bradford Advisory Board.
Cleland and his wife, Julie, created a scholarship in 2007 in memory of Cleland’s parents, Dr. Charles E. and Elizabeth M. Cleland, who both graduated from Pitt Medical School in 1932 and who practiced medicine in Kane for a half century.
Cleland spoke about how his parents were the first people to see something in him that he couldn’t see in himself.
“How is it that we express our thanks to those who have seen the possible in each of us?” he asked, answering that it is by living a life of service to family, community, country and the world through kindness, patience, generosity, forgiveness and “a commitment to the well-being of all those you encounter.
“Use these scholarships to build a life of service,” he told the students.

FOURTH WELLSBORO AREA COMMUNITY CONCERT ASSOCIATION PERFORMANCE TO FEATURE TOM PAXTON & THE DONJUANS ON THURSDAY, APRIL 7
Tom Paxton and the DonJuans will perform at the Deane Center on April 7. Don’t miss it.
2009 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner and folk icon Tom Paxton and The DonJuans, an American folk and country music duo composed of Grammy–winning singer-songwriters Don Henry and Jon Vezner, first began performing together in 2017.
Within days of writing and playing together, the three knew they were onto something and began a writing and performing experience.
For the fourth concert of the Wellsboro Community Concert Association’s 2021-2022 season, they will take the Coolidge Theatre stage at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 7 at the Deane Center for the Performing Arts at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro.
Collectively, their songs have been covered by: Harry Belafonte, John Mellencamp, Miranda Lambert, Neil Diamond, Ray Charles, Nancy Griffith, Judy Collins, Pete Seeger, Janis Ian, John Denver, Faith Hill, B.J. Thomas, Blake Shelton, Peter, Paul & Mary and Bob Dylan… just to name a few.
The DonJuans won the 1990s Grammy Award for Best Country Song with “Where've You Been" sung by Kathy Mattea. They will perform that song at Wellsboro.
Paxton began his performing career on weekends in 1960 in Greenwich Village. He has been an integral part of the songwriting and folk music community and continues to be a primary influence on today’s “New Folk” performers.
The Chicago native came to New York via Oklahoma, which he considers to be his home state. His family moved there in 1948, when Paxton was 10 years old. He graduated from Bristow High School and The University of Oklahoma, where he majored in drama as his interest in folk music grew.
Brought to New York courtesy of the U.S. Army at Fort Dix, New Jersey, Paxton remained there following his discharge. His early success in Greenwich Village coffeehouses led to an ever-increasing circle of work. In 1965, he made his first tour of the United Kingdom - the beginning of a still-thriving professional relationship that has included at least one tour in each succeeding year.
Paxton has performed thousands of concerts around the world. That his fans still enjoy his work is a testament to the quality of his recent music, and to the enduring power of modern standards like “The Last Thing On My Mind”, “Bottle Of Wine”, “Whose Garden Was This?” and “Can’t Help But Wonder Where I’m Bound,” all of which he will perform in Wellsboro.
Paxton’s songbooks, critically acclaimed children’s books, award-winning children’s recordings, and a catalog of hundreds of songs also recorded by many renowned artists, all serve to document Tom Paxton’s more than 60-year career.
Tickets are $25 for an adult, $5 for a child, 12 and under and $5 for a student, 13 to 18. They can be purchased ahead of time by visiting www.wellsborocca.org, calling the Deane Center at 570-724-6220 or stopping in at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro.
Tickets will also be sold at the door. Arrive at the Deane Center at 7:15 p.m., 15 minutes before the start of the concert. Door sales are on a first-come first-served, space-available basis.

Harlem Wizards Wow The Crowd
The Wizards welcomed the Wiz Kids down to the floor to participate in pre-game activities. Parents said the Harlem Wizards are the real deal when it comes to family entertainment and crowd interaction. Slam dunks and high flying antics brought people to the game, but what they left talking about is how much they laughed and enjoyed themselves. One of the highlights of the night was when all the children and their parents/grandparents came out of the stands and danced. All you could see was cameras and smiles throughout the gymnasium. This event was great for our children and the whole community said one parent.

What Is Childhood Lead Poisoning & How Are Children Exposed?
Does your child play on the floor? Do you have toys or dishes that are made in other countries? If so, then your child may be at risk for lead exposure. A child can also be exposed to lead if they are with an adult often who might bring home lead from a job or hobby. Some activities include house painting, plumbing, renovation, auto repair, welding, electronics repair, fishing, firearms, jewelry making and more. This information is important for parents, grandparents, guardians, and daycare providers because lead poisoning can have impacts on children for years to come.
