At 13-4 overall, and tying its most successful regular season in program history set a year ago, the Penn College men’s lacrosse team finds itself in a familiar position as it heads into the United East Conference playoffs for the sixth consecutive season under coach Jordan Williams.
Playing a COVID-shortened schedule during their inaugural campaign in 2021, the Wildcats finished second to SUNY Morrisville. In 2022, they lost to St. Mary’s (Md.) College in the conference semifinals, and in 2023, they lost in the semifinals to SUNY Morrisville. The last two seasons in championship matches, they lost to St. Mary’s every time, but each year strides were being made.
On March 14 of this season in a nonconference outing, Penn College turned the tables on SUNY Morrisville, winning for the first time in six meetings.
Then, 14 days later in a UE matchup against St. Mary’s, the Wildcats had their best showing in their eight meetings as they led 10-8 after three periods of play before being outscored 5-0 in the fourth quarter. The three-goal final differential was the tightest ever between the two.

Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter) has introduced legislation that will help increase revenue for counties, municipalities and school districts in which a significant amount of land is managed by the state.
The bill would expand upon the existing Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) currently provided by the state by requiring a portion of revenue collected from the sale of timber, oil and natural gas from state-owned land – as well as revenue from the construction or placement of radio towers and rent and royalties – to be shared with government entities in which the land is located.
“The local governments where state land is located are restricted from future economic development and continually struggle with a limited tax base,” Causer said. “While agencies do pay a small amount in lieu of taxes to these entities, it is a small fraction of what the land could be worth considering the significant revenue the state is collecting from the way they are using the land.”

Williamsport, Pa., April 27, 2026 – Electrophysiologists at UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute in Williamsport now offer pulsed field ablation (PFA), a new, minimally invasive treatment option for atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common abnormal heart rhythm.
“AFib is a complex rhythm disorder and is the most common abnormal heart rhythm we see in our practice,” said Suppiramaniam Sreeharikesan, M.D. (Dr. Kesan for short), electrophysiologist, UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute. “Adding this new procedure advances the level of heart care in the region. Studies have shown PFA can decrease the risk of complications compared with other kinds of ablation and we know there are patients who will directly benefit from it here in the community.”
PFA uses short bursts of electrical energy delivered through a specially designed catheter to target and destroy the specific heart tissue causing the irregular heartbeat. The short pulses of high-energy electricity create small holes in the cell membrane of the targeted tissue, leading to cell death. The electrical pulses are more specifically targeted, so there is a lower risk of damaging nearby structures like the esophagus and phrenic nerve than traditional catheter ablation.
“We know patients want to be in the hospital for as short of a stay as possible. An added benefit of PFAs is that they are generally same-day procedures,” said Dr. Kesan. “The length of the procedure can vary depending on factors like the size of a patient’s heart chambers and their specific type of AFib. However, most PFA procedures last between one and two hours and require a few additional hours of recovery observation, which if a patient is cleared, they are discharged to recover at home. Most patients can then return to their normal routine one week post-procedure.”

Shirley Marie Tucker, “beloved mother and grandmother.”
ROULETTE, PA—Shirley Marie Tucker, 97, passed peacefully into the arms of her Lord on Thursday, April 23, 2026, at her son’s home, surrounded by the family who cherished her.
Born on March 16, 1929, in Port Allegany to Rayburn A. and Marguerite Craw Weimar, Shirley lived a life shaped by faith, devotion, and quiet strength. A graduate of Roulette High School, Class of 1947, she married Paul A. Tucker on June 30, 1948, beginning a lifelong partnership grounded in love and grace.
Shirley served faithfully in every role she embraced. She worked as a bookkeeper for Leet Lumber Company and later held accounting and finance positions with the Potter County Housing Authority, Casual Corner Stores, and the Department of Defense – Defense Finance and Accounting Service.
Her love of learning never dimmed. After studying at the Baptist Bible Seminary in Johnson City, NY, she returned to school later in life, earning her Associate Degree in Computer Programming, Class of 1990, from Columbus Technical Institute (now Columbus State Community College). She proved—beautifully—that curiosity has no age limit.
Janet E. Resch, 78, formerly of Hickory Road, St. Marys, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 26, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family at Quality Life Services-Sugar Creek in Worthington, PA.
She was born August 27, 1947, in St. Marys, PA, a daughter of the late Harold and Genevieve Swanson Conroy.
On June 24, 1967, at Sacred Heart Church, she married the love of her life, Glenn Resch, who preceded her in death on April 6, 2017. Together, they shared fifty years of love, laughter, and marriage.
She was a woman whose energy and creativity left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. A dedicated and accomplished businesswoman, she proudly held the title of number one seller for Avon for many years, a testament to her warmth, drive, and genuine connection with people. Her creative spirit shined through her work, including the memorable ads she crafted for WKBI Radio, where her ideas and personality brought messages to life. As the owner of Inches Away Diet Center, she welcomed countless individuals through her doors-many of whom fondly remember the comforting aroma of her ever-brewing flavored coffee, a signature touch that made everyone feel at home. She had a gift for making holidays magical, filling them with thoughtful details and joy, and she was rarely without a song, as music was a constant in her life. Above all, she had a way of making everyone feel welcome-her home, like her heart, was always open, and those who entered were met with warmth, laughter, and a true sense of belonging.

Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing {PHWFF}, initiated and conducted by members of the Federation of Fly Fishers and Trout Unlimited, serves military personnel who have been wounded, injured, or disabled to aid their physical and emotional recovery by introducing or rebuilding the skills of fly fishing and fly tying and by using and enjoying these skills on fishing outings and as lifelong recreation.
While initially focusing on the military personnel in the Washington, DC area, the Project has expanded nationwide and is offering its services and program to active military personnel and veterans in the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals throughout the country.
The Project’s program provides basic fly fishing, fly casting and fly tying classes and clinics for the wounded and injured personnel ranging from beginners to those with prior fly fishing and tying experience who are adapting their skills to their new abilities. All activities, services and equipment are provided to the participants at no cost.
The God’s Country Chapter of Trout Unlimited will host its 17th nationally recognized Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing event, in cooperation with the Moore’s Run Fish and Game Preserve, Tuesday May 19 through Friday May 23. We are proud to dedicate our 2026 event to honor all “Bronze Star” Recipients. Our 12 disabled veteran guests all receive medical treatment and rehabilitaion at various PA Veteran Hospitals and sign up for our event through their respective PHWFF Programs. We are proud to enable them to enjoy the great trout flyfishing and an overall quality experience our chapter provides.”
We are working with the local American Legions and VFWs to invite all local veterans to participate in our disabled veteran guests’ 40 mile motorcycle escort/parade through Potter County. While our chapter has enough volunteer members to provide the instruction, equipment and guide services for our 12 disabled veteran guests, we are soliciting donations to offset the cost of food, lodging, fly tying tools and materials. A quote from a previous guest best explains what his visit meant:
“The trip was overwhelming!! I couldn’t believe all the people out there with signs and flags. It was really, really emotional, and they don’t know how much we appreciated that. When I returned from Vietnam 49 years ago, they didn’t do anything for us, not even in my hometown.”
Please join in the enthusiasm we feel and help provide a unique outdoor and healing experience for our wounded war veterans in the peaceful setting of God’s Country. If you consider this event worthy of your support, please forward your tax deductible contribution to the God’s Country Chapter of Trout Unlimited, Box 702, Coudersport, Pa. 16915. Thank you in advance for your consideration and continued support.
