Diana Marie (Dean) Smith, of Galeton, PA
Diana Marie (Dean) Smith, of Galeton, PA, born March 4, 1945 to Mary Jordan and Ronald Dean Sr., passed away peacefully on September 21, 2024.
Diana was born in Port Allegany, PA, where some of her most treasured memories were made in the garden with her Grandpa Fred. She was later raised on Germania Street in Galeton. Her childhood days were largely spent in nature marveling at the birds and playing down by the river with her best friend, Lucille. She kept that wild spirit into adulthood and never stopped finding beauty in the outdoors. She was married to, and divorced from, the late Roger Smith. Diana was, at heart, both fiercely independent and a steadfast caregiver, who loved spending time with others.
Let’s Treat Hunger as the Local Crisis It Is
By Kelsey Boudin
Of all local problems, hunger stands at the center as both a cause and symptom of poverty. Yet hunger isn’t treated like a central issue worth solving to improve the socioeconomic fabric of our communities.
(Yes, this is absolutely a pitch to support my client Olean Food Pantry during the Giving Season right around the corner. Stick with me for a healthy dose of logic.)

Open Door Counseling Is Coming To Bradford
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT:
Open Door Counseling is moving from Camp Hill, PA to Bradford!
Karen Ingalls, Licensed Professional Counselor, is accepting new in-person clients at her Bradford office (telehealth not available).
“My plan was always to move back up north after getting my license. I’m originally from Coudersport, and I went into the field of counseling because I saw such a lack of mental and emotional health services in my hometown and the surrounding areas. I’m hoping eventually to find a way to have a mobile office so I can get around to some of the smaller communities in Potter and McKean Counties. I accept most insurances, but unfortunately am not able to accept Medicaid or Cigna.”
In the meantime, if you type your zip code into PsychologyToday.com, it will bring up a list of all available therapists in your area.

Causer Announces Grants to Local History Groups
BRADFORD – Three area organizations devoted to preserving the region’s history have been awarded grants from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter) said today.
The McKean County Historical Society and Cameron County Historical Society each received $8,000, while the Eldred World War II Museum received $4,000.
“Our region has such a rich history, and we are fortunate to have county historical societies dedicated to preserving it for current and future generations,” Causer said. “We are also blessed to have the Eldred World War II Museum, which does a great job highlighting the role the community of Eldred played in supporting the war effort. I was glad to support these important investments in these organizations.”
The grants were awarded through PHMC’s Cultural and Historical Support Grant Program. The program provides general operating support to museums and official county historical societies that are not directly supported by other state agency operating support programs. Grants are awarded on a formula based on a percentage of the organization’s annual operating budget.
