The Eastman Award, formerly the Lloyd E. Eastman Memorial Award, was recently presented to five PAHS Seniors.  The award, typically two $500 awards – one female and one male – was divided by the top vote-getters due to ties.    Their selection was made by administration, teachers and staff at Port Allegany High School as well as coaches and advisors who interact with the students.  The selection was based on the following piece by Bryan Scavnak: “Some kids are smarter than you, some kids have cooler clothes than you.  Some kids are better at sports than you.  It doesn’t matter…You have your thing, too.  Be the kid who can get along.

 Be the kid who is generous.  Be the kid who is happy for other people.  Be the kid who does the right thing.  Be the nice kid.”  Mr. Eastman was a graduate of Port Allegany High School, Class of 1941.  He began his banking career on his 21st birthday and retired on his 85th birthday after 64 years of service at the First National Bank of Port Allegany.  He worked his way from teller to President and Chairman of the Board.  He volunteered and served his church and community.  A devoted family man, Mr. Eastman and his wife, Dolores, were married for 70 years. She, too, was a graduate of Port Allegany High School, Class of 1942, worked at various jobs before becoming a homemaker and returned to the workforce after her children were grown.  She worked as a secretary at the Liberty School for the PASD until her retirement.  Earlier this year, Mrs. Eastman passed, leading the family to rename the Lloyd E. Eastman Memorial Award to the Eastman Award.  The couple were kind and generous people who were happy for the success of others, who did the right thing and were nice people.

This afternoon the Knoxville-Deerfield Vol. Fire Company was alerted for a cat stuck in a tree. The cat had been there for 4-5 days. After members arrived at location it was determined that we would not be able to reach it with standard ladders. The department contacted Billings Park Association to see if their bucket truck was available. Clifford Stermer with the bucket truck arrived shortly after contacting him. Within 15-20 mins and a little persuasion by some cat food Clifford was able to grab ahold of the cat and safely bring it back to the ground. The cat then proceeded to fill it’s belly with the rest of the cat food that was left in the can. A huge thank you to Clifford Stermer and Billings Park Association for there use of their bucket truck to help rescue this cat.

   Caiden Lathrop-Roller, a local teen scheduled to graduate from Port Allegany High School this year, has acquired a love of Patriotic Artwork and a sense of respect for our Nation’s Military. 

Caiden began drawing at the early age of 6, his artwork quickly transformed to be rooted with a Patriotic theme.  This was due, in part to his passion for reading and learning about World War II and admiration for his Uncle Jim Reed who served our Country with the National Guard Infantry…as well as numerous relatives who served in the US Military who also had an impact on his respect for all Veterans.

     Caiden’s latest painting (shown with him in photo), is done in acrylic and features a large Eagle and an American Flag, has been sponsored by Larry’s Sport Center, and will be auctioned at the LEEK Open House on Saturday, June 8^th 2024.  The painting was also a project for his Art Class in High School, it took 2 months of his spare time to complete…for Caiden’s talent, hard work and dedication to the project he was given a perfect score…100%!  Caiden has not made a final decision about his future plans, but his family and friends hope his future includes continuing his love of Art and possibly Military Studies.

     Caiden is hoping to attend the LEEK Open House to show his painting which will be auctioned between 5pm and 8pm on Saturday, June 8^th.  There are many events planned for the weekend at the LEEK Hunting and Mountain Preserve, 494 SR 244 E, Oswayo, PA  16915.  The highlight of the weekend will be the G-Bash and live Auction from 5pm-8pm.
