Nearby Galeton Cancels Fourth of July Celebration
Nearby Galeton Cancels Fourth of July celebration
After many weeks of agonizing over this, the Goodyear Hose Company and Galeton Fireworks Committee have come to a decision about our 4th of July. First and foremost in all their minds is the HEALTH and SAFETY of our residents.
With this being said, due to COVID-19 and "Social distancing" (which will be impossible to do in the park and in our town that weekend) our 4th of July celebration is cancelled.
We are well aware that this is going to hurt our businesses as well as our own organizations and that is one of our biggest regrets, but the HEALTH and SAFETY has to come first. Council President Joe Petrencsik fully supports their decision and will be bringing it to the Council meeting on May 13th where it will be ratified.
2021 is already in the planning stage and is going to be BIGGER AND BETTER than ever!!!

Emporium VFD Responds to Alarm at Emporium High Rise
Residents of the Emporium High Rise were evacuated during a reported apartment fire. The Emporium Fire Department responded to the scene. The Fire Chief reported the fire was extinguished and the fire trucks returned to the station.
Alpacas Visit Residents of Guy & Mary Felt Manor
Today, residents of Emporiums nursing home, Guy & Mary Felt Manor, were visited by two charming alpacas from Robin Kuleck's farm, the Little Red Barn.
Activity Director, Pat Kempher, coordinated the visit to bring cheer to the quarantined residents. TallyHo and Traveler, and their handlers, Robins grandchildren Vivian and Norah, walked window to window so all the residents were able to see them. Nursing aides inside the Manor were present from room to room to assist the residents so they did not miss the visit.
The Little Red Barn is home to 24 alpacas, bee hives, chickens, ducks and one of Cameron County's newest AirBNB Bed & Breakfast locations.

Causer Announces Continuity of Education Grants for Area Schools
Causer Announces Continuity of Education Grants for Area Schools
HARRISBURG – Five area school districts and the intermediate unit serving students in the 67th Legislative District were awarded nearly $60,000 in Continuity of Education and Equity Grants (CEEG) by the Pennsylvania Department of Education for the current academic year.
“This is a very difficult time for our school districts, students and their families,” Causer said. “These grants are designed to help ensure students have access to the resources they need to continue their education even though they can’t be in physical classrooms.”
Schools with the highest percentage of students lacking access to resources were given priority in receiving these grants, which totaled $5 million statewide. The local grants were awarded as follows:
Cameron County School District: $11,750.
Coudersport Area School District: $7,400.
Kane Area School District: $11,250.
Oswayo Valley School District: $29,300.
Smethport Area School District: $5,500.
Seneca Highlands Intermediate Unit 9: $5,200.
According to the Department of Education, CEEG grants are designed to help provide access and inclusion for all learners by bridging the gap for students who are currently limited in their ability to participate in continuity of education.
The grants may be used to purchase computer equipment, such as laptops, tablets and internet hot spots, or used toward providing instructional materials, such as paper lessons and coursework.

Wilcox native Bailey Pretak to appear on Dr. Oz on Friday
Wilcox native Bailey Pretak is a woman of many hats. She’s a motivational speaker, dancer, pageant queen and musician, and she wants the world to see her for who she is, not for her skin disorder. That’s one of the reasons she agreed to share her story on the Dr. Oz show, which is scheduled to air on Friday.
Dr. Oz reached out to Pretak after watching the short documentary Barcroft Media produced several years ago as a part of their “Shake My Beauty” series. In the eight minute documentary, she discussed the challenges that come along with the rare genetic skin disorder, lamellar ichthyosis, as well as how she eventually went on to excel at dancing and public speaking and even won several beauty pageants, including Miss Pennsylvania and Miss Congeniality.
The episode of Dr. Oz will air on WICU (NBC) out of Erie at 2 p.m. and WNLO (CW) out of Buffalo at 9 a.m. on Friday. For those who don’t have access to those stations, check your local television listings or visit www.doctoroz.com.

Quehanna Industrial Development Corporation Updates
The 23rd Annual QIDC 100 Mile Yard Sale is being cancelled this year due to the uncertainty of the pandemic and the large amount of people that attend this event every year. This was truly a hard decision for us because we love seeing everyone. We did get shirts for this event already. Those will also be on our website soon. This year we decided to honor our first responders by placing a small firetruck, police car, and ambulance on the shirts. The cost of these shirts is $15. The people who have already registered for this event will be getting a phone call from Chris Williams regarding your registration fee.
We hope and pray that everyone is staying safe and we hope to be back with our events next year. In the meantime, feel free to check out our website, www.visitquehannaarea.com. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at qidckarthaus2017@gmail.com.
The 19th Annual Fawn Sensenig West Branch of the Susquehanna River Canoe/Kayak/Paddleboard River Run for 2020 is being cancelled due to the stay at home order. We do have t-shirts that were purchased before the pandemic. If anyone would like one, they will be on our website for $15. For those that have already registered for the event, Chris Williams will be contacting you about the event.
The 6th Annual Elk/Deer Antler Shed Hunt Scoring Event is going to still take place. We are just going to do things a little different this year. We will be having one person at the scoring table at a time. We will be asking you to please get your antlers scored, then get your picture taken, and if you want raffle tickets or shirts, please purchase them and then we would like to ask that you return to your vehicle and leave the premises. This way we can still hold the event and award a winner since several of you that registered have been out in the woods looking for those antlers during this pandemic. While you are there, we ask that you please wear a mask and practice the social distancing. The winner and other participants that bring in antlers will have their checks mailed to them.

Sheetz Expands Free Meal Program for Children in Need
Altoona, PA (April 17, 2020) — Today Sheetz, a major restaurant and convenience chain across the Mid-Atlantic, announced the expansion of the Kidz Meal Bagz program providing free food to help children and families in need as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Meal Bagz are now be available at all 600 Sheetz locations and will be available all day, while supplies last. The Meal Bagz include a turkey sandwich, chips and a drink.
Families interested in taking advantage of the free Kidz Meal Bagz program can go to any Sheetz location and ask an employee for a meal at the register or through the drive-through. Meals will be available daily while supplies last. Families will be offered one bag per child.
“The response from the launch of this program has been huge,” said Travis Sheetz, President/COO of Sheetz, Inc. “As we expand this program, we are staying connected to our communities to try and understand the need, as meals are available while supplies last on a daily basis. It is our hope that these meals will provide nourishment to those who need it most during these challenging times.”
“With this expansion, we will be giving away roughly 80,000 meals per week across the communities we serve,” Sheetz continued.
The program will be available for the next two weeks at which time it will be reevaluated based on community need.

Voting by Mail in Cameron County
Dear Voter; Due to the uncertainty of the times related to the COVID-19 Virus, the Cameron County Board of Elections has decided to offer every Registered Voter the opportunity to VOTE BY MAIL IN BALLOT.
The Board of Elections feels this is the most proactive step we can take to afford every registered voter the chance to cast their vote while still maintaining Governor Wolf's "Stay at Home" order.
It is unknown when this pandemic will pass and we can all return to "business as usual". In taking action now, we believe we are alleviating the stress of the unknown of how this election process will flow in the state of Pennsylvania.
Ways to apply for a Mail In ballot:
- Print from County Website (www.cameroncountypa.com) and return to our office via mail or place in Drop Box at the Courthouse
- Contact our office and an application will be mailed to you for returning
- Apply online via www.votespa.com
- Some candidates and/or political parties have sent out applications to registered voters. You may use those applications also and return to our office.
Due to the extended processing time for each ballot application, please apply for the ballot as soon as possible.
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY APPLIED FOR A MAIL IN OR ABSENTEE BALLOT, PLEASE DO NOT REAPPLY.
Please stay safe.
