National Excellence Awards for Potter County
Potter County has been chosen for two national excellence awards by the National Assn. of Counties. They are in recognition of “No Veteran Left Behind,” based on the launch of a military veterans transportation program; and “Revitalize Potter County,” a strategy to address population loss and outmigration of young adults.
Just six of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties are being recognized through NACo’s 2024 Awards Program. Potter is the lone county among them to receive two awards. The awards will be presented during the NACo Annual Conference in Tampa, Fla., on July 13.
Summaries of the county’s award-winning initiatives have been posted on the NACo website as follows:
–No Veteran Left Behind: Potter County is sparsely populated and remotely situated. There is little to no access to public transportation. Availability of health care is also limited. Among the most underserved residents are military veterans. There is no VA medical facility in the county. Many veterans are senior citizens with low incomes who lack the means to access quality health care. In 2022, a coalition of veterans’ advocates embarked on a lofty mission – a transportation service dedicated solely to taking veterans to medical appointments. This team effort was coordinated by the Potter County Department of Human Services (PCHS), with support from the Potter County Commissioners, Potter County Director of Veterans Services, American Legion/VFW posts, and community supporters. Widespread support, appreciation and respect for military veterans, coupled with the judicious and innovative use of state and county funding, have made the Potter County Veterans Medical Transportation Program a reality. It is funded annually as a line item in Potter County’s Human Services Block Grant provided by the state. Local veterans’ advocates, community organizations, businesses and individuals support the service through fundraisers and outreach activities. As a result, any eligible military veteran can access transportation for medical care.
–Revitalize Potter County: Potter County has been gutted by population loss, youth outmigration, a struggling economy, and a rising median age (47.4 years) that now hovers nearly 10 years above the national average (38.1). At the same time, COVID and social factors have been prompting many young families in the Northeastern U.S. to pursue a rural lifestyle. Many are seeking affordable housing, high-speed internet access, outdoor recreational opportunities, and vibrant communities. Potter County checks each of those boxes – with the exception of the latter. In 2022, a team of stakeholders spearheaded by the Potter County Commissioners embarked on a strategic plan to revitalize communities with an intensive focus on five core areas. Among them was developing arts and cultural activities. In 2023, this innovative mission bore fruit. An arts council that had been dormant for nearly a decade was revitalized as the Potter County Creative Council (PC3). National and state arts/culture organizations provided support, while a broad cross-section of public officials, artisans, community leaders, volunteers, school administrators and other key stakeholders have come aboard. Revitalize Potter County was off and running.
Think About It
A Year of Firsts
by
Pastor B.J. Knefley
Perhaps you’ve never thought about it, but many will be experiencing firsts during this year. For example, if you’ve lost a spouse, this is the first year without them, the first Christmas, New Years, etc. If you’ve just had a child, this will be their first Christmas and yours too with a newborn.
Many firsts are fun and great to experience yet others, not so much. Death can create many hardships and difficulties. For some it doesn’t get easier after the second, third or even the fourth year. Life can be hard, and many are alone and suffer in silence. Death, separation, or just the experience of life can cause many to find their life is different than what they planned. Sometimes, this is the way life goes. It’s never in a straight line; it always has curves and bends. We must learn to adapt if we’re going to survive. Personally, I don’t always like to adapt. I like life to be consistent and predictable, but that’s not always possible, is it?
I saw this on the Internet the other day and although I don’t know who wrote it, I believe it’s a very powerful thought.
“I had my own notion of grief. I thought it was the sad time
that followed the death of someone you love. And you had
to push through it to get to the other side. But I’m learning
there is another side. There is no pushing through. But
rather, there is absorption, adjustment and acceptance. And
grief is not something you complete, but rather, you
endure. Grief is not a task to finish and move one from, but
an element of yourself, an alteration of your being, a new
way of seeing, a new definition of self.”
Each of us can have a year of firsts, the challenge is to not get stuck in firsts, but recognize that this is life, and with life, we are evolving into new ways of seeing, new ways of defining, and new ways of being who we are. Be careful not to allow firsts to define you. You are much more than that. Think about it.

The League of Women Voters Picnic in War Vets’ Park Pavilion in Olean
“The League of Women Voters of Cattaraugus and Allegany Counties invites you to a Picnic in War Vets’ Park Pavilion in Olean on Tuesday, June 18 from 5:30 – 7:30. All are welcome!
Last Fall, our group committed to a refresh of a memorial urn, which was installed in the park in the mid 1970s after being moved from its original location in front of old city hall. The monument is dedicated to Eveyln Agnes Keith, who lived from 1852 – 1916 and was an influential member of the Olean community. She was an early advocate for women’s right to vote, as well as the health and welfare of children and animals. Her history has been somewhat lost over the years and our LWV chapter decided to reintroduce her monument as well as her legacy to the community. Steve Cocca will have a presentation to do exactly that on June 18.
We will have music by Glenn Wahl, hear a song or two of the “Songs of the Suffragettes” and play a trivia game of moden empowerment music.
Supper will be provided by The Hungry Burro food truck. To plan properly and for more information about our group, please RSVP by June 14 to Margie McIntosh at cattarauguslwv@gmail.com or 716-904-1327. “
