With a 10-1-7 overall season entering the playoffs, this year’s Pennsylvania College of Technology women’s soccer team already has established itself as one of the program’s best ever, and as the third seed in the United East Volt Division, the Wildcats will host sixth-seeded Penn State Abington at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Penn State Berks, with a win over Penn State Harrisburg on Tuesday, nailed down the Volt Division’s top seed while Harrisburg is seeded second. Lancaster Bible College earned the third seed and St. Mary’s (Md.) College is seeded fourth. Berks and Harrisburg drew first-round byes and will host semifinal games next Tuesday.

Last season, the Wildcats reached the conference’s Final Four before losing to Penn State Harrisburg, 3-2.

In conference matches this season, Penn College is 2-1-2 against other playoff teams with 0-0 ties against Berks and St. Mary’s, a 1-0 loss to Harrisburg, a 3-1 win over Lancaster Bible and a 6-2 win over Abington. The Wildcats have outscored their UE opponents 9-4.

“This season has been one of incredible excitement for our team and program as a whole,” second-year coach Ian Scheller said. “To end any regular season with just one loss is a great achievement because being a team that can consistently compete on any given day might be the most important thing for any program.

​Harrisburg, PA – Colonel Christopher Paris, Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police, today commended four personnel dedicated to solving “cold cases” and three troopers who heroically stopped an active shooter after all received recognition for their exemplary actions as recipients of the Governor’s Awards for Excellence.

Recipients of the distinguished awards include Corporal Todd McCurdy, Trooper Jeffrey Baney, Teddi Hesser, and Amy Lynn Kreiger of the Criminal Investigation Assessment Unit and Trooper Brent Beaver, Trooper Joseph Burke, and Trooper Thomas Butch, assigned to Troop N, Bloomsburg.

“It is an honor to serve with these women and men, Colonel Paris said. “Their actions were not in self-interest but rather the result of their commitment to providing the finest and most competent police service to the people of Pennsylvania.”

Bradford Area Public Library has less than 50 tickets remaining for our inaugural Celebration of Library Heroes event, slated for November 2 at the Bradford Club.  This special fundraiser will honor the efforts of Marie Troskosky and Jeanie Satterwhite.  Tickets for the event are only $40 each or $70 for two and include a buffet-style dinner.  Tickets can be purchased at the library. 

Hello, I’m Jack Keifer and I’m running for Potter County Commissioner.

Well, okay, why should I vote for you Jack?  Here’s a few reasons:

*  I’m a US Air Force Veteran – I will ensure that our veterans, police, volunteer and emergency 1st responders are well represented in Harrisburg!

*  7 + Years hands on County experience

*  Actively Serving Councilman (Coudersport Boro) Appointed 2019, elected 2021

* Fiscally Responsible – Keeping taxes down with more efficient use of technology and by taking advantage of the millions of dollars available via govt. grants.

* 30 combined years of leadership in both business and education

*  Pro: Keep the government the heck out of our business and personal lives

*  I’m pro 2nd Amendment

* Government should be inclusive, not exclusive!

As a veteran myself I understand the importance of making sure our veterans can get the benefits they earned without having to get caught up in all the red tape.

As Councilman I have come to appreciate that grant funding is critical to serving our communities well.  As chair of the Streets & Utilities committee spearheading the Ross Glenn Storm water project which qualified for a state grant this year. Because of my first-hand experience with the County, I have come to understand County operations from a fundamental level.  I understand the dynamics of hoeach department functions to best serve the public.

This is not something one can grasp overnight, which is why it’s important to elect a qualified candidate, and I am that candidate. And 1 more thing, let’s talk our local economy.  The first thing most young people do after graduation is bolt out of town to seek opportunities.  Can ya blame ’em?

Promoting tourism is all well and good, but we need to look further than that if we want to curb this out-migration. How about we offer tax incentives to attract businesses and manufacturing to set up shop right here in Potter County?  We need to create win-win scenarios to give business a reason to say to themselves, “Hey coming to Potter County just makes good business sense.” I believe that boosting the local economy and attracting new jobs are the key to making Potter County an even greater place to live and relocate to. Let’s give our young people a reason to stay!, not a reason to leave.

We the people demand results not excuses!  Local elections have the most direct effect on our daily lives.

Please vote JACK KEIFER for Potter County Commissioner.  Thank You!

Eight men and five women are expected to represent Pennsylvania College of Technology on Saturday in the UE Championship meets hosted by Cairn University in Langhorne.

They include Dillon Betts, of Manchester, New Jersey; Noah Bowers, of Burnham; Mitchell Campbell, of Riegelsville; Chase Ebeling, of Bellefonte; Holden Furey, of Williamsport; Jacob Parker, Weatherly; Alec Rees, of Centerport, New York; and Matt Woolcock, of Oil City, on the men’s team; and Elaina Brady, of Big Cove Tannery; Natalie Greiner, of Mount Joy; Sofia Laspina, of Bellmore, New York; Kayleigh Miller, of Sayre; and Skyelar Splain, of Liverpool, on the women’s squad.

“Overall, it has been a positive season for both the women and the men. It seems that our athletes are enjoying the challenge of being collegiate runners and have formed bonds and friendships that will hopefully last beyond their days at PCT. I am proud of the work that everyone has done and of their improved performances,” second-year coach Tom Leeser said heading into Saturday’s conference championship meet.

“On the women’s side, we continue to struggle with a lack of depth and have been competing with the minimum of five runners. Despite our low numbers, the women have improved steadily from the start of the season. Elaina Brady and Skyelar Splain have been our top two runners and hope to crack the top 20 at the UE conference meet,” Leeser continued.

One of the Bradford Area Public Library’s (BAPL) Free Little Lending Libraries has found a new home! Free Little Lending Libraries have proven to be great additions to any community. They not only provide access to books for children but for adults as well.

 “We have noticed that people from all walks of life are stopping by and taking books from the library. It is a great way to share the love of reading and foster a sense of community,” stated Jill Neighbour, The Learning Center’s Director.   “We are grateful to Becky Cramer and her family for their efforts in transporting and setting up the library. It has truly become a community effort, with families and students helping to restock the library,” continued Neighbour.  

The Learning Center’s librarians, Amanda Kemick and Sue Rea, have been instrumental in checking the library and ensuring that it is well-maintained.  The Free Little Lending Library will continue to be a part of the Bradford community for many years to come.
