CAPTION: A baby girl born at UPMC Cole sports her running sneakers and special UPMC Magee-Womens onesie for Mother’s Day.
COUDERSPORT, Pa., May 12, 2023 – While they cannot walk yet, newborns at UPMC Magee-Womens labor and delivery units in north central Pennsylvania are already “running” laps around their moms’ hearts to just in time for Mother’s Day. Staff cheered on moms and babies as they crossed the finish line of delivery at the start of life.
“Women often refer to labor as a marathon, and crossing the finish line at delivery is an emotional whirlwind for moms knowing that at that same moment, their newborn’s race has only just begun,” said Katelyn Fowler, unit director, UPMC Magee-Womens in North Central Pa. “This year’s theme for our Mother’s Day newborns, ‘Running Laps Around Mom’s Heart,’ is a fun play on words for how loved these little ones are from day one. No matter the race they run, they’re all winners in our eyes and our staff really enjoy these fun celebrations.”
In recognition of Mother’s Day, babies born at UPMC hospitals in north central Pennsylvania each received a set of handmade “sneakers” donated by Jane Wynn, leader of the Bald Eagle United Presbyterian Church Prayer Shawl Ministry, and a special UPMC Magee-Womens onesie.

ST. CLOUD, Florida—Helen Fuller Cradduck Ahart Adams, 86, of St. Cloud, formerly of Shinglehouse, Pa., passed away on Thursday, May 11, 2023, at her grandson’s camp in Shinglehouse, Pa., after a lengthy illness.
The firstborn to Earl & Marguerite Fuller in 1936, Helen was raised in the hills of Northern Pennsylvania along with her sisters Marilynn and Judy. She was part of the first graduating class of Oswayo Valley high school in 1955. She met her soon to be husband Robert “Buddy” Cradduck in Olean, NY with whom she had 5 children with. They ended up in Olney, Maryland where Helen worked as a nurse at Montgomery General Hospital for over 20 years. Her husband Robert unexpectedly passed away in October of 1992.
In 1995 she married David R. Ahart of Phoenix, Arizona. Together, they lived an abundant life of travel, dancing, and spending time with all the grandkids until Dave’s passing in February of 2012.
Helen is survived by her loving husband Paul Adams of Cumberland, MD who she married in 2015 and danced many a night away with over their 8 years together. Additionally, she is survived by her sister Judy Rhodes of Littlestown, PA.; her 5 children, Sidney Cradduck of Mercersburg, PA., Cynthia Cradduck of Frederick, MD., Debra Brown of Damascus, MD., Timothy Cradduck of Lancaster, PA., & Patty Markos of Olney, MD. Lastly, she is survived by her 20 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren.
She was devoted to her faith in Jesus, and was not shy about it. She loved her children, her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren.
She always made it a point to show up and support her grandchildren, whatever they might be doing! She loved dancing, and thought the divorce rate would greatly decrease if married couples would just dance together more. She was always up for a game of cards and traveled with at least one deck in her purse — and she sure enjoyed winning! Her sense of adventure never waned — even at 82 years old she was floating down the rapids of the Shenandoah River in a tractor inner tube!
She was truly one of a kind, and her absence is already felt so greatly among those close to her. She is and will be so missed in the lives of all who knew and loved her.
Family and friends may call from 10am to 11am on Monday, May 15, 2023, in the Bell Run Union Church, 904 Taylor Brook Road, Shinglehouse, where funeral services will follow at 11am with Pastor Chad E. Shaffer, officiating. Burial will be in Bell Run Cemetery.
Helen’s family has entrusted her care to Kevin J. Dusenbury, funeral director/owner of the Virgil L. Howard Funeral Home, Shinglehouse.

Kay Boyd-Rowe, age 60 of DuBois, PA died Friday, May 12, 2023 at her home after a 24-year battle with cancer.

On August 15, 2002, she married her husband of over 20 years, Robin ”Raboon” Rowe. He survives.

Kay loved Jesus and was a living testimony to everyone she knew. She taught everyone to love first.

Kay beat cancer by how she lived, why she lived, and the manner in which she lived. She loved her community and had been active in the Down to Earth Garden Club, the Downtown Revitalization Group and the Tri County Church. Kay was also a past member of the DuBois Jaycees. She enjoyed flowers and bird watching with her husband and surrounded herself with friends and family always. Her greatest joy however was being “NiNi’ to her “KK”.

There will be no public visitation.

Can Birdie and it’s a service for elderly and disabled people that takes the trash out to the curb on trash day and brings the can back after collection.
My service areas are Bradford, Smethport, Eldred, Port Allegany and their surrounding communities.
Steve Mascho, Republican candidate, has officially announced his candidacy for re-election as Bradford Township supervisor.
A lifelong resident of Bradford, I have lived in the township for almost forty years and have served as a board supervisor for the past eighteen years. My experience includes nearly fifty years as a heavy equipment operator, working for Quaker State and Foster Township, and earning the Safe Driver award from Crossett Inc.
Most recently, I am self-employed in excavating services and driving tractor trailer. I am a member of the First United Presbyterian Church and former deacon. During my time as township supervisor, I have gained in-depth knowledge and a clear view of the various components of our township. In 2020, I was instrumental in working with PennDOT in creating a detour for thru-traffic while the South Avenue bridge was under construction. This provided an alternate route for township police and area residents as well as Zippo employees.
Additionally, I have worked with businesses to locate and welcome them into our township, including Hoover Oilfield Supply and Universal Well Services, both having the potential to bring significant revenue into our area. Going forward, I will carry out our plans for much needed road repairs and adhere to a strict schedule of road maintenance.
I will ensure cleanouts of drainage ditches and culverts, preventing flooding and further damage to roads and properties. I will ensure that our bridges are constructed in a cost-effective and timely manner by seeking funds through state grants and prioritizing our bridge projects. I believe that my experience and attributes are crucial components in what it takes to serve you well for another term. I am strongly committed to our residents and will work in their best interests while keeping costs down, making it affordable and more desirable to live in our township.
There are never-ending ways to improve and develop, all while keeping within our budget. I will continue to treat residents with respect and tend to their concerns. With your vote, I will continue to fight against back door deals, and always vote NO to wasteful spending. And I will promote transparency so all residents are informed of how we are using their tax dollars. I appreciate your vote and all write-in votes.
My name is Angela Milford, and I am a Republican candidate running for the position of Potter County Sheriff. I was born and raised and have worked in this area my entire life. I have worked for Potter County government for approx. 29 years in the jail. I was a Corrections Officer and was moved up into management of Deputy Warden and now Warden for approx. 14 years of that. I work very closely with the Sheriff’s Department and am very familiar with their role. I am being endorsed by the current Sheriff, Glenn Drake. He has expressed to me his desire and intention, should I be elected, to stay on with the department in a part-time capacity, which will assist me in my transition into this new job. The role of Sheriff has many different aspects with much of it being administrative and delegating other functions to deputies. I do some parts of the administrative tasks already in assistance to their department such as coordinating transports, going on transport, taking care of extradition requirements and many other tasks. I am confident I will be able to jump into this position and take it on. I do understand and know there will be training that I need to attend and look forward to learning. I believe I am the best candidate for this position as I am motivated by a desire to help people. I am firm but I am also fair. I hope you will vote for me as your next Sheriff. I would appreciate my democratic friends to write me in also. Thank you. Paid for by the candidate.
