POTTER COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS Doug Morley Todd Brown Barry Hayman ATTEST: Charlie F. Brown, Director This Veterans Day we recognize the beginning of the God’s Country Military Food Share program. The food is made available through the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank and is distributed through the God’s Country Ministries Church. The program is free to any veteran or their widow(er) without regard to income. It is just to say thank you for your service. Any document that shows proof of military service is needed to sign up to receive food. Distribution is the second Tuesday of every month between 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. Each veteran receives 3 boxes each month. The first container is of shelf stable items, such as canned goods. Another contains fresh produce. The third includes frozen meat, eggs, milk and a possible variety of items that the food bank has to offer month to month. It is the equivalent of over $100 of food products, and it doesn’t cost the veterans a thing. Penn State Extension in Potter County will offer a class on Food Preservation of Wild Game on Wednesday, November 15th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at their new office location in the Gunzburger Building, Room #216, Coudersport, PA.

Between October 26, 2023, and October 31, 2023, two dirt bikes were stolen from R&K Marina. The stolen dirt bikes: red, white, and blue 2000 Yamaha YZF 426 with decals, and a blue and white 2001 WR Yamaha 250F with headlight/taillight. Anyone with information is asked to contact the NYSP at 585-344-6200. Reference SJS#11690934. Authentic By B.J. Knefley Which do you prefer, authentic products or knockoffs? Probably most of us want the real deal especially if we can get it at a knockoff price. But it doesn’t work that way does it? We often can’t tell the difference between the real deal or the authentic from the knockoff. That’s why they do it. Make things so that they resemble the authentic for a fraction of the cost so that a bigger profit can be gained. The problem is it’s deceptive and dishonest, yet we buy into it all the time. Read the news and you will find story after story of someone who swindled multitudes of people out of lifesavings and investments. Offering high yields and seemingly authentic merchandise, scores of people flock to the promise of a deal. Yeah, we all know how that ends don’t we. Even employers have been duped into hiring people who presented work histories and education certificates that were bogus. It makes me wonder how old is this game that is played on unsuspecting people? Is it as old as time? It is said that the great deceiver is Satan himself. More cunning than any other, it is also said he roams the earth looking for whom he can devour, (I Peter 5:8). Why? Is it about power and position? What causes a person to seek after the counterfeit rather than the authentic. It happens everywhere. Business, government, families, relationships and yes, even in the Church. Perhaps that’s where the biggest problem lays. In the places that are sacred we trust that we won’t be swindled, that we’ll be led in a way that’s good and not evil. But it still happens. Following Christ seems simple enough. Love your neighbor as yourself, seek first His Kingdom, love God with all your heart, mind, and soul. Instead, we go after other things like money, prestige, position, and significance. We sell our soul to things rather than the God of all things. We reject the authentic and embrace the knockoff. Like Adam and Eve, we buy into what we think is better just because we don’t listen. When will we ever learn? Think about it.

Clint Owlett (R-Tioga/Bradford) 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.Thomas E.
