This morning, I visited the Potter County Christian School and talked to civics class students about the different branches of government, the roles that these branches undertake and who falls into these three branches.
The students were very well educated and engaged in conversations regarding how an idea turns into a law and the process that it takes to get laws passed.
Potter County Christian School not only deserves accolades for an outstanding education curriculum, but most importantly, fosters a strong foundation of faith.

BRADFORD, Pa. – The members of Marcellus & Utica Gas, a group of individuals associated with suppliers, services and manufacturers in the oil and gas industry, have noticed a trend in their field.
“Everything we see is technology related,” says Walt Elmquist, a founding board member of the nonprofit group. “Tech is everything. As we travel the northeast, every company we talk to needs technical people.”
The shift from mechanical to technical skills throughout the oil and gas industry led the MUG members to look for ways to support educational opportunities in oil and gas technology. A group of programs at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford fit the bill perfectly.
Free, in-person programs are being held this Saturday, Sept. 9 at Cherry Springs State Park at 4639 Cherry Springs Road, Coudersport, PA 16915. The park is 12 miles from Route 6 in Galeton via West Branch Road and 15 miles from Coudersport via Route 44.

All programs will be cancelled in the event of rain or thunder.
Registration is encouraged, but not required. The public may want to register because all registered participants will receive an email if a program has to be cancelled or modified due to weather, etc.
