Sometimes life can be tough. Events can take our breath away. Getting back on our feet seems an impossible task, yet we must. 

Setbacks in life are normal. We plan, but not all our plans work out the way we want. Sometimes it feels like we just can’t get there from here. You know what I mean, don’t you? It’s like the saying, “The harder I try, the farther behind I get.” Moving forward often feels like two steps forward and three steps back.

I’ve come to the conclusion that we’re sometimes in too much of a hurry to move forward. In trying to move forward, we miss out on some very important lessons we need to learn. Take grief, for example. Many seem to want to rush through it. Sadly, friends and family may tell us we’re taking too long and that we should move on. But is that necessarily true? How many stages of grief are there? What happens if we try to skip a few? If we try to avoid them, will they come back to bite us later?

Denial is another way we keep ourselves from moving forward. We stuff hurt, pain, and emotions as if they never happened. Claiming to be okay on the outside while never taking care of the inside doesn’t move us forward; it keeps us stuck. “I’m tough; I can take it” may work in the movies, but it doesn’t work in the real world. Trying to go through difficulties alone is foolish. When you’re in the pit of despair, it’s not the time for someone to tell you to “Snap out of it.” You need someone to walk with you on the journey. Getting from here to there is a journey. It’s a journey that involves a decision and a plan. Pride keeps us from asking for help. Seeking help to move forward is not a bad thing; it’s the smart thing. The only caveat is who you ask for help. The one you want is the one who will really help, not someone who will just tell you what you want to hear. Perhaps the starting point is admitting that you need to move forward. Think about it.

A Tornado Watch has been issued for Allegany, Broome, Cattaraugus, Cayuga, Chautauqua, Chemung, Chenango, Cortland, Erie, Genesee, Jefferson, Lewis, Livingston, Madison, Monroe, Niagara, Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, Orleans, Oswego, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Tioga, Tompkins, Wayne, Wyoming, and Yates Counties until 11:00 p.m. tonight. A Tornado Watch is issued when weather conditions could lead to severe storms and tornadoes. Tornadoes are capable of destroying well-made structures, uprooting trees, and hurling objects through the air like deadly missiles. PREPARE NOW: 

• Know your safe location – ideally a basement or interior room. 
• Know signs of a tornado, including but not limited to; dark or green skies, a rotating, funnel shaped cloud, and loud or roaring sounds. 
• Be ready to act quickly if the watch is upgraded to a warning, or you suspect a tornado is approaching. 

The National Weather Service will issue an alert when a tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. If you receive a Tornado Warning alert, there is imminent danger and you need to take action:

• Take shelter in a substantial structure: if there is no shelter near-by, lie flat in a ditch or low spot with your hands shielding your head. 
• If at home or in a building: Go to the basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of the building. Stay away from windows. Closets, bathrooms, and other interior rooms offer the best protection. Get under something sturdy or cover yourself with a mattress.

The Coudersport Rotary Club met August 31, 2026, at A&W West End Grill, where members heard from Ashley Gledhill, Potter County Prothonotary and Clerk of Courts. Rotarian Steve Minor introduced Gledhill, explaining that “a lot of things happening in the background” are not always visible to the public and that Gledhill’s office plays an important role in keeping the county’s court system organized and functioning smoothly.

Gledhill explained that “prothonotary,” derived from Latin meaning “chief scribe,” reflects the office’s historical role in maintaining court records. Her office serves as the Clerk of Civil Court, Criminal Court and Orphans’ Court and handles a wide variety of matters, including Protection From Abuse (PFA) orders, civil judgments, federal tax claims, mental health matters and criminal cases.

The office also manages numerous court divisions, including adult criminal cases, juvenile matters, dependency cases, appeals, Orphans’ Court proceedings and cases involving individuals who are unable to manage their own affairs. With so many moving parts, careful organization and communication are essential. The office prepares and processes orders that judges deliver from the bench in open court.

The Cadillac Cats, including lead guitarist and founder Blair Mitcheltree, powerhouse lead vocalist Becky Wool, Urie Kline on drums, Garrett Gaetano on bass, and Shawn Strickland on harmonica, will give a free funky blues concert on the Deane Center’s outdoor stage beginning at 6 p.m. at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro. In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be moved indoors to the Coolidge Theatre.

Known for mixing old-school blues grit with their modern funk, rock, and R&B groove, this Williamsport-based band delivers foot stomping blues at every show. They released their new, album “Swamp Funk” on August 21 at the Back Alley Bar and Grill in Williamsport and on all major digital and streaming platforms on August 28.

The Cadillac Cats, a two-time Central Pennsylvania Music Awards (CPMA) nominee for Best Blues Band and two-time International Blues Challenge (IBC) quarter finalist, consider their setlist as a “song bag” they can pull from depending on the mood of the crowd and to keep the music fresh and exciting not only for their fans but also for themselves.

This concert is being held in conjunction with Wellsboro’s First Friday, a community street festival on Main Street that will be open from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. 

Bring a lawn chair or a blanket and sit in the grassy area in front of the outdoor stage or on Central Avenue, which will be closed to motor vehicle traffic between the side of the Warehouse Theatre building and Main Street. 

The public is invited to attend any of the free concerts in the series made possible by sponsor UPMC Health Plan.

The series will end on Friday, Oct. 2 with Hot Rod Mule singing and playing hard-driving bluegrass and country music  In case of rain, this concert will be moved indoors to the Warehouse Theatre Gallery at 3 Central Avenue in Wellsboro.

HARRISBURG – Tioga County has been awarded a $50,000 state grant to update its countywide comprehensive plan, Rep. Clint Owlett (R-Tioga/Bradford) and Sen. Gene Yaw (R-23) announced today.

Tioga County will use the funds to commission the preparation of a county-wide comprehensive plan. Updates to land use mapping, the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (SALDO) and zoning language to provide to municipalities will help ensure alignment with land use best practices. The update will also build upon the county’s recently completed housing study by translating the identified needs into implementable land use, zoning and development strategies.

“It is so important for our communities to have big-picture plans in place to guide growth and development while preserving everything we love about living in the Northern Tier,” Owlett said. “I appreciate all the work our county officials put into their planning efforts, and this grant will help them continue that work so our communities are well prepared for what’s ahead.”

“This funding will help Tioga County take a closer look at its housing, development and infrastructure needs and plan for the future,” Yaw said. “A strong comprehensive plan will guide local leaders, support smart decision-making and create opportunities that help keep Tioga County a great place to live and work.”

“We are thankful for the support of Senator Yaw and Representative Owlett in securing this funding for Tioga County,” said Tioga County Commissioners Marc Rice, Sam VanLoon and Shane Nickerson. “This is an important first step in updating our comprehensive plan and taking a thoughtful approach to how our county grows and develops in the years ahead. Through this process, we will work to better understand the priorities of our communities, identify future opportunities and plan for the long-term success of Tioga County. We look forward to working closely with our municipalities and residents to develop a plan that reflects the needs and priorities of Tioga County.”

The funding was awarded through Pennsylvania’s Municipal Assistance Program (MAP), administered by the Department of Community and Economic Development. MAP funding can be used to provide technical assistance to municipalities and other eligible applicants for activities including community planning and implementation.

HARRISBURG, PA (September 1) — The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC), in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC), contracted Wildlife Management Institute (WMI) to conduct an independent, high-level assessment to evaluate opportunities for efficiencies and collaboration between the agencies for the long-term benefit of the agencies’ staff, customers, and the resources we are entrusted to serve.

WMI’s assessment included a review of PFBC and PGC operational structures, physical assets, fiscal and demographic realities, and input submitted by hundreds of employees.  This data was also broadly compared to a subset of other state fish and wildlife agencies and used to generate a list of recommendations for consideration.

It is important to note that the recommendations presented are not mandates.  Moving forward, consideration of any recommendations will require detailed analysis of additional factors that are unique to Pennsylvania, as well as potential action by the Pennsylvania General Assembly.

While no timeline has been established for additional action, the PFBC remains committed to working towards a sustainable path to implement our mission to protect, conserve, and enhance Pennsylvania’s aquatic resources and provide fishing and boating opportunities.

Fall conferences equip human services professionals with utility assistance resources, consumer education tools and connections to help Pennsylvania households maintain essential services

HARRISBURG – Registration is now open for six Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) “Be Utility Wise” (BUW) and “Be Wise” conferences being held across the Commonwealth this fall, offering human-service professionals and consumer advocates practical tools, resources and connections to help households manage essential utility services and access available assistance.

For three decades, the PUC’s “Be Utility Wise” and “Be Wise” conferences have served as a cornerstone of the Commission’s consumer education efforts, bringing together thousands of frontline service providers, utilities, regulators and community organizations to share information and strengthen the network of assistance available to consumers and communities across Pennsylvania.

“Frontline workers are the heartbeat of community support, providing a vital link between struggling consumers and the essential utility assistance they need to keep their homes safe and powered,” said PUC Chairman Steve DeFrank. “Be Utility Wise helps g…

BRADFORD, Pa. – Two organizations that evaluate colleges nationwide recognized the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford Monday for excellence as a regional public university.

Pitt-Bradford was one of two Pennsylvania colleges to appear in the top 50 of Washington Monthly magazine’s debut listing of Best Colleges for Rural America. Meanwhile, Niche, an online resource to help high school students find their best college match, declared the campus the best-value public college in Pennsylvania.

One factor behind Pitt-Bradford’s spot on the Best Colleges for Rural America list: alumni earnings. The ranking predicts what graduates should earn four years out based on their demographics — $54,756 for Pitt-Bradford — then compares that to what they’re actually earning: $73,701. Pitt-Bradford graduates are out-earning expectations by nearly $19,000 per year, second among all rural colleges listed.
