We’ve all had defining moments in our personal lives. We celebrate the happy milestones like graduating from high school or college, meeting the love of your life and welcoming a child or grandchild into the world. Not all defining moments are happy ones or easy ones, such as the loss of a cherished relationship or loved one. But we persevere through the hard times with help from our friends, family and faith.

Our nation has also experienced many defining moments, some good, some bad and some extraordinarily tragic. But our nation too has persevered through the hard times, thanks to the service and sacrifice of our veterans who, throughout our history, have accepted it as their duty to protect our country and our citizens at all costs.

From the very beginning of the United States of America, our Founding Fathers knew there was a better way. They determined it was possible to live in freedom and created founding documents that would ensure our freedoms would be protected from generation to generation.

Proposed Settlement Involves 2020 Over-Pressure Incident in Indiana County that Damaged Home Appliances and Other Equipment

HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) today moved to seek additional specific financial information related to a proposed settlement concerning events that resulted in the over-pressurization of the Peoples Natural Gas distribution system serving the community of Robinson, in Indiana County that caused a wide range of damage to utility and customer equipment.

The Commission voted 5-0 to adopt a motion from PUC Vice Chair Kimberly Barrow to seek supplemental information from Peoples Natural Gas and the PUC’s independent Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement (I&E) – clearly and publicly detailing the cost of replacing private property that was damaged during this incident, as well as explaining how those costs will be addressed – before the Commission takes public comment on the merits of the settlement.

Over-Pressurization Incident and Proposed Settlement

            Olean, NY – A graduation ceremony was held on October 21 in honor of Kuldesh Ubhi, MD, and Afza Safeer, MD, two resident physicians completing the University of Buffalo’s rural 1-2 track family medicine residency program. Both residents will complete the program on November 15.

The Coudersport Varsity Club is sponsoring a holiday clothing drive.  The varsity club consists of those student-athletes who have earned a varsity letter while participating as a member of a Coudersport athletic team.  The club helps pay for letter jackets as well as supporting other school activities.  One of the ways that the club raises funds is by operating the popcorn stand at all home volleyball, wrestling, and basketball games.   

Due largely to the increased cost of letter jackets the club decided at its September meeting to sponsor a Coudersport Athletic clothing drive.  This drive is unique because the products that are being sold promote all of the school’s athletic teams, not any one specific team. 

Hopefully, community members will find this helpful when shopping for Christmas items that can be worn to all school events!!!!  All items ordered as part of this drive will be delivered directly to the purchaser’s home and are paid for directly online.  15% of everything that is sold as part of this drive will go directly to the Coudersport Varsity Club.  

In order to have the items delivered by Christmas the online store is only available thru Monday, November 13th.  

Attached is a flyer for the clothing drive that we are hoping you would be willing to post on Solomon’s Words.
