Potter County Education Council and Tri-Co Connections Continue Partnership for Seniors 2 Seniors Program
The Potter County Education Council, Tri-Co Connections, the Potter County Human Services Area Agency on Aging, and our local school districts are continuing to team up to implement a county-wide program called Seniors 2 Seniors. This program is teaching basic computer skills, digital literacy, and cybersecurity to senior citizens so that they have the skills and knowledge to utilize the many benefits of high-speed Internet. They include: Staying connected to friends and family; Sending and receiving emails; Using search engines to navigate the Internet; Utilizing telemedicine (healthcare from home); Using on-line banking; and Shopping from home (for items not available in the local area).
As a part of this program, the Potter County Education Council, Tri-Co Connections and the Area Agency on Aging have local high school students volunteering to provide on-site support to each of the adults who participates in the course. The area high school students are a logical resource to support the senior citizens as they learn about the Internet since this generation of students has grown up with technology as a part of their daily lives. They are a true “tech savvy” population and can provide valuable support to older adults who are learning to navigate and use new technological skills and information.
Course Schedule: The Seniors 2 Seniors technology course is being offered at each of the four senior centers in Potter County on a six-week rotating schedule, meeting on Wednesdays (following the school districts’ calendars), throughout the 2022-2023 school years. The course will meet at the Galeton Senior Center (November 2nd – December 14th, time to be announced; no class November 23rd).
Registration: The registration deadline for the Galeton course is Wednesday, October 26th. Register yourself, a parent, or grandparent by calling the Potter County Education Council at (814) 274-4877 or by stopping by the Potter County Education’s Coudersport office at 5 Water Street.

LAST THREE PERFORMANCES OF HAMILTON-GIBSON’S PRODUCTION OF “GRAND HORIZONS” EACH WITH SPECIAL INTRODUCTION AND TALK BACK ARE THIS FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, OCT. 21, 22 AND 23
“…a supremely funny comedy of marital malaise…’Grand Horizons’ is that rare animal, a smart but crowd-friendly Broadway comedy, one that does not pander to the audience, and finds twisty new paths through familiar pastures.” — Written in BroadwayNews.com on Jan. 23, 2020 following the Broadway debut of this show.
The last three performances of Hamilton-Gibson’s production of “Grand Horizons,” an adult comedy, will be at 7:30 p.m. this Friday, and Saturday, Oct. 21 and 22 and at 2:30 p.m. this Sunday, Oct. 23 in the Warehouse Theatre at 3 Central Avenue in Wellsboro. This show is for mature adults only.
There will be a pre-show introduction before each performance. Audience members who want to attend are asked to be seated in the theatre by 6:45 p.m. for the performances on Friday and Saturday and by 1:45 p.m. for the matinee on Sunday to engage in a short introduction to the play to provide some context for what they’re about to see.
Immediately following the performances on Oct. 21, 22 and 23, a “talk back” opportunity is offered so audience members can explore some of the themes and responses to the play.
Bill and Nancy French have recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and moved into Grand Horizons, an independent living facility. Suddenly, Nancy announces she wants a divorce.
As their two adult sons struggle to cope with the shocking news, they are forced to question everything they assumed about the people they thought they knew best.
Funny and painfully honest, this play explores a family turned upside-down and takes an intimate look at the wild, unpredictable, and enduring nature of love.
“The completely unexpected announcement that Nancy wants a divorce causes everyone involved to face the unexpressed desires and needs that they’ve hidden for years,” said Director Thomas Putnam who plays Bill French, Nancy’s husband. “The characters each have relationship issues to work through as marriage partners, as siblings, as parents and offspring, as love interests, as neighbors.”
Also in the cast are Kathryn Sheneman as Nancy French; Alex Dell as Ben French and Sarah Duterte as Ben’s wife, Jess French; Tim Mulcahey as Brian French; Jeremy O’Neil as Tommy and Angel Goodwin as Carla.
“Thomas (Putnam) asked if I would play Carla,” said Goodwin. “I told him I would read the ‘Grand Horizons’ script and if I liked it, I would do it. It was so funny and yet not far-fetched. It deals with issues of today and family dynamics so I said ‘Yes.’ Carla is a lot like me. She talks a lot, which I’m really good at,” Goodwin said.
“Angel is like her character in a number of ways – all good,” Putnam said. “Carla is an open book. She doesn’t hide anything and has no secrets compared to Nancy and Bill who have plenty of secrets. Carla pays attention to others; she “sees” them and appreciates them for who they are. One of the reasons Bill finds her interesting is that she simply enjoys his presence with no strings attached. Carla cares about people. She spends some of her time holding the hand of Alzheimer victims. She’s down-to-earth with no pretenses.”
General admission is $16 for adults. For tickets, go to hgp.booktix.com or call Hamilton-Gibson at 570-724-2079. Tickets, if available, can also be purchased in the Warehouse Theatre lobby beginning at 6:30 p.m. before the Friday and Saturday performances and beginning at 1:30 p.m. before the Sunday matinee.

By nominating yourself or others, you help to highlight the many ways Pennsylvanians improve and protect the environment we all depend on.”
Projects do not have to meet all criteria to merit an award. Projects must have been completed between October 4, 2021 and October 11, 2022.
