Control Chief Employees Rally For Charity Putting Event, Support Kids And Cancer



Bradford, PA – April 10, 2026 – Employees at Control Chief Corporation once again stepped away from their desks and workstations for a few hours of friendly competition—and a meaningful cause.
The company recently hosted its annual Masters Week Putting Contest, raising funds this year to benefit Kids and Cancer Benefit Run, which supports children battling cancer and helps ease the burden on their families.
The indoor course, set up at Control Chief’s headquarters, featured a creative layout with multiple putting challenges. Among the obstacles were hazards made from Control Chief’s own industrial remote control transmitters, adding a unique and fitting twist to the course.
Employees participated throughout the day, taking turns on the course, enjoying the break from routine, and spending time together. As in years past, the event created a strong sense of camaraderie, with coworkers gathering to watch, encourage one another, and share in the experience.
Representatives from Kids and Cancer also stopped by during the event. Bill Black, Jim Copeland, and Tom Shay visited with employees, shared more about the organization’s mission, and even took a few turns on the putting course themselves.
Control Chief contributed $600 to support Kids and Cancer, helping fund efforts that assist families with expenses related to treatment, travel, and care during difficult times.
The competition itself came down to a close finish. After the first round of putting, a three-way tie between Human Resources Director Theresa Funk, Darren Luce from Product Service, and Andy Walter sent the contest into a playoff round. In the final round, Walter pulled ahead to clinch the title.
With the win, Walter becomes a back-to-back champion, having also taken first place in last year’s event.
“Our team looks forward to this event every year,” said Brian Landries, Managing Partner and VP of Sales and Marketing at Control Chief. “It’s a great way to have some fun, build camaraderie, and support a cause that makes a real difference.”
Control Chief extends its thanks to all employees who participated and contributed, and looks forward to continuing the tradition in the years ahead.

Penn College Athletics At A Glance

Last week in review: During a busy 10-game week, a new era began on Tuesday for the softball team with two wins in the opening of its new facility at the 28-acre Lumber Yards on Rose Street, which features six lighted synthetic turf fields, among other amenities.
Tennis watch: The women’s team has won four conference matches for the first time in the NCAA era (since 2015), and its overall five-win season is a program best since the sport switched from a coed team to separate women’s and men’s teams in 2013. Also, with three conference wins and two to play, the men’s squad is closing in on its best single-season UE win mark of four, set during 2017-18. And with five overall wins and four regular-season matches remaining, the men’s program-best win mark of seven is within reach.
SOFTBALL
Last week’s hometown highlights: In Monday’s sweep at Penn State Schuylkill, a seven-run fourth inning propelled the first win, with three players getting two hits, including Sofia Mileto, of Loyalsock Township, who doubled and drove in three runs. In the circle, Mackenzi Tice, of Mansfield, improved to 9-1 as she spun a one-hitter, fanning eight and walking one. In the second game, Taylor Brown, of Bellefonte, and Sam Shaw, of Warriors Mark, each plated two runs to back the four-hit pitching of Alivia Bizzarri, of Philipsburg.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM TODAY’S COMMISSIONERS MEETING

The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners met today at the Game Commission’s Harrisburg headquarters to hear public comment and conduct official business that included the final adoption of 2026-27 hunting seasons and bag limits, which are provided in a separate news release. Other highlights from today’s meeting follow.
CERTIFIED HUNTER PROGRAM TO EXPAND
The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners voted today to adopt regulations that will guide the agency’s Certified Hunter Program, which connects hunters and landowners as a means of addressing crop-damage concerns.
The Certified Hunter Program launched last year in the Southwest Region and is expected to expand statewide.
For hunters, the program provides an opportunity to access productive hunting grounds and harvest antlerless deer to help landowners meet deer-management goals on their properties. Participating landowners retain full control of their properties and enjoy peace of mind knowing the hunters there have met the program’s qualifications.
The regulations adopted by the Board establish eligibility for participants and other program parameters.
FINAL 2026-27 HUNTING SEASONS APPROVED
The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners today gave final approval to the 2026-27 hunting and trapping seasons and bag limits.
All 2026-27 seasons include the Sundays that fall within their listed start and end dates. Also, seasons that previously ended on Saturdays largely will end on Sundays, providing additional days of opportunity throughout the year.
The lone exception is for migratory game birds. There will be no Sunday hunting for migratory game birds – including waterfowl, woodcock and mourning doves – this coming season.
The Game Commission surveyed migratory game bird hunters in recent weeks, which showed a slight preference for keeping Sundays out of migratory seasons, allowing seasons to stretch farther. That, combined with federal rules that say if Pennsylvania starts incorporating Sundays into migratory seasons, it must do so always – there’s no going back – led commissioners to exclude Sundays for the 2026-27 seasons. Agency staff and board members say they will revisit the issue prior to 2027-28 after further study and input.
The full slate of migratory game bird seasons, which are set through federal frameworks, will be announced after they are finalized.
The approved 2026-27 seasons include several significant changes:
PUBLIC HEALTH ALERT FOR BEEF AND PORK PRODUCTS

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for raw beef and pork products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The products may contain sesame, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. A recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase.
