BRADFORD, Pa. — University of Pittsburgh at Bradford published and presented and painted on teacher retention in rural schools and greenwashing and other topics this summer and fall.
Dr. Jonathan Chitiyo, professor of special education, along with Dr. William Clark, assistant professor of secondary education, and Dr. Salma Shaik, assistant professor of computer information systems, co-authored “An Examination of the Predictors of Teacher Retention in Rural Pennsylvania Schools,” published in Educational Studies.
The study surveyed 90 teachers across three Pennsylvania Intermediate Units to identify what keeps educators in rural classrooms amid a statewide teacher shortage.
HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General has pledged to explore all aspects of Kaleida Health’s actions relating to the closure and failed sale of Bradford Regional Medical Center (BRMC) and The Pavillion nursing facility, according to Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter) and Sen. Cris Dush (R-25).
The lawmakers met with senior leadership in the office to discuss concerns relating to potential anti-trust violations due to Kaleida’s insistence on a non-compete clause in any contract involving the sale of BRMC and The Pavillion, as well as issues surrounding the original charitable purpose of Bradford Hospital and the treatment of its charitable assets by Kaleida.
“Our community is suffering and lives are being placed at risk due to Kaleida’s self-serving decisions to close our local hospital and then refuse to sell it to any other health care provider without a non-compete clause as part of the transaction,” Causer said. “Attorney General Dave Sunday and his team are clearly well aware of the ongoing issues we are facing, and I greatly appreciate their commitment to comprehensively review Kaleida’s actions and further explore what options may exist to help us.”
“The situation facing patients throughout the entire Bradford region is unacceptable, particularly when you consider Kaledia’s significant reductions in life-saving healthcare services – most notably the closing of Bradford Regional’s emergency room,” said Dush. “Given the serious implications for preserving healthcare competition and rural healthcare access, I am grateful for the PA Attorney General’s Office prompt response and commitment to thoroughly examine all relevant materials and documents to determine whether further investigation of Kaleida Health’s failure to work with community and local leaders is warranted.”
The lawmakers say they are continuing to work in conjunction with county and local officials and business and healthcare leaders as part of the Healthcare Access Team in pursuit of sustainable and affordable healthcare solutions for the region.

Jeremiah “Jere” G. MARTIN, 75, of Ulysses, PA, formerly of Harrison Valley, passed away peacefully on Sunday morning, October 18, 2026, in his home. Born November 3, 1950, in East Earl, he was the son of Edwin and Emma Good Martin.
From the farmland of Lancaster County to the rugged hills of Potter County, Jere Martin left his mark near and far. His trademark bib overalls, booming voice, warm heart, and infectious smile made him unmistakable wherever he went.
Jere’s life was rooted in his deep faith in God, a love for family, and an uncanny ability to foster connections wherever he roamed. Throughout his childhood, he developed a formidable work ethic, a love of song, a joy in Sunday afternoon visiting, and an enduring appreciation for sweet treats. Friendships that took root in corn cribs, one room schoolhouses, youth groups, and hymn sings were maintained and strengthened through years of phone calls, get-togethers, and spontaneous pop-ins.
Jere wedded the love of his life, Margie Ann Martin, at Strasburg Mennonite Church on April 22, 1972. Their marriage was grounded in a love of Jesus, humor, the willingness to admit wrongdoing, and an unfailing commitment to one another through the joys and challenges of building a business and raising four children.
Jere first dipped his toe into service at Northern Tier Children’s Home, in Harrison Valley in 1970. That experience drew him to Potter County and began a lifelong commitment to serving others in honor of Jesus. From volunteer auctioneering and Mennonite mission trips to entertaining youngsters at CMA’s Kids’ Club and pouring his heart into Penn-York Camp, Jere embodied the spirit of giving.
Through hard work, a deeply entrepreneurial spirit, and a knack for creative problem solving, he and Margie owned and operated M&M Barn Sales from 1976-2021. You didn’t come to M&M just for the lumber, you stayed for the way he made you feel. Unexpected deliveries of donuts to the work crew, an offer of hot coffee, and a glove box full of candy offer just a glimpse of the many ways he made people feel welcome.
Our Pop was one of a kind. His children remember him for his prayerful persistence, his consistent support, emphatic comical interjections, and love of picnics. He taught us to notice the forgotten, serve behind the scenes, and offer hospitality even when our home or menu lacked precision.
His grandchildren remember him for showing up with his time. Foosball, deer hunting, treehouse building, ice cream stops, birthday celebrations, and making deliveries. Whether it was ball games, concerts, recitals, or graduations, Pop was there.
Jere reveled in life’s simple pleasures: an ice cream cone, a game of Scrabble, a surprise picnic, early morning calls from his siblings, or a favorite hymn sung around the campfire.
He spent a lifetime giving to others. When he was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 75, his community, family, and friends rallied to support him. Our world won’t be the same without that bib-clad, pickup-driving, ice-cream-eating, booming-voiced man we love and adore. We take solace in knowing he is safe in the arms of Jesus.
Surviving besides his wife, Margie, are: four children, Michelle (Barry) Brubaker of Ulysses, Melody (Gary) Crawford of Harrison Valley, Melinda Martin of Wilmington, DE, and Loren (Leah) Martin of Harrison Valley; eleven grandchildren; two brothers, Amos (Karen) Martin of Ephrata and Edwin (Carol Ann) Martin Jr. of East Earl; four sisters, Esther (Elvin) Horst of Refton, Anna (Herb) Susmann of Ithaca, NY, Mary Jane (Elmer) Nolt of Bowmansville, and Lois (Titus) Martin of Mohnton; nieces and nephews.
Rev. Robert Walters will officiate a Celebration of Life Ceremony at Penn-York Camp, 266 Northern Potter Road, Ulysses, PA on Saturday, October 31, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., with all being invited for one last picnic to celebrate Pop. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Penn York Camp, 266 Northern Potter Road, Ulysses, PA 16948.
Private burial was in West Union Church Cemetery, Rexville, NY. Arrangements are under the direction of Olney-Foust Funeral Homes & Crematory, Ulysses, PA. Online condolences may be expressed at www.olneyfoust.com.
COUDERSPORT, Pa. — October 19, 2026 — A weekly community effort rooted in environmental care and neighbor-to-neighbor support has surpassed a major milestone. The Potter County Democratic Committee announced today that its Saturday morning volunteer operations at the Potter County Recycling Center have now generated more than $1,000 in direct monetary contributions for area food pantries since taking over operations in June.
The initiative, part of the Committee’s core commitment to “Presence and Service,” converts regular Saturday recycling routines into financial support for local hunger-relief efforts across Potter County. Every dollar collected from patrons dropping off materials is channeled directly into local pantries—such as the Galeton Food Bank and other county distribution programs—helping stock shelves with essential groceries and supplies for area families.
Musician, storyteller, and educator Van Wagner from Danville will play a benefit concert in the Warehouse Gallery on Saturday, Oct. 24 at 7:00pm. All ticket proceeds will be split between Hamilton-Gibson Productions and Second Chance Animal Sanctuaries. Doors open at 6pm, so come early for drinks, raffles, and to mingle with the animals.
If you don’t know who Van Wagner is, his website sums it up: Born in Pennsylvania. Lives in Pennsylvania. Makes music. Mined coal. Logged trees. Teaches kids. You’ll recognize places mentioned in his songs like “North of 80” and “Crosscut Saw.” He received an Outstanding Achievement Award in 2018 from the Pennsylvania Heritage Songwriting Contest. He has released 35 original albums and is streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music. He will have CDs for sale at the event.
“Really, this is a people benefit,” Wagner said. “If we can help find forever homes for animals, we will make some person’s life richer. Animals make life more rewarding. This concert is about helping people find happiness. Happiness with paws.”
The Mount Jewett Volunteer Fire Department hosted an open house on Wednesday to unveil its newest piece of rescue equipment – UTV 10. Using a $50,000 state grant obtained with the help of Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter), the department purchased the new UTV with attached rescue and fire suppression equipment, along with a trailer for transporting the unit. This equipment will enhance rescue capabilities in remote and difficult-to-reach areas in the region.

Eagle Courts of Honor: I had the privilege of attending two Eagle Courts of Honor, recognizing Colton Spaid of West Decatur Troop 43 (pictured here) and Gage Rankin of Bellefonte Troop 34. Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in Scouting, and participants must complete leadership requirements and develop a service project for an external organization or their community. For 116 years, Scouting has encouraged generations of young Americans to commit themselves to serving God and country. I have personally been involved in Scouting for more than 50 years and serve as Co-Chair of the bipartisan Congressional Scouting Caucus. As a proud Eagle Scout of the Class of 1977, I welcome these young men to the Eagle Scout family. Congratulations, Colton and Gage!
Greater Clearfield Chamber of Commerce: I recently addressed the Greater Clearfield Chamber of Commerce at their legislative luncheon. This was a great opportunity to connect with local businesses and community members and provide an update about my work in Congress. Today, more than 300 businesses are affiliated with the Chamber, working together to create a region where people love to live. I commend these local businesses and the Chamber’s board for their dedication to strengthening our communities and local economies. I look forward to seeing the continued success of the Chamber and its members.
German-American Heritage: October is German-American Heritage Month, a time to recognize the heritage of more than 41 million Americans who are of German descent. As the co-chair of the bipartisan German-American Caucus, I was pleased to introduce a bipartisan resolution reaffirming our two countries’ friendship and continued cooperation. The United States and Germany have an important alliance, one that is rooted in a shared commitment to democracy, and I look forward to strengthening this partnership for years to come.
