McKean County DHS honors Johnston, raises awareness of child abuse
SMETHPORT — During these times where national and local attention are focused on coping with the impact of Covid-19, McKean County Department of Human Services (DHS) is reaching out to the public to raise awareness of child abuse and foster care and to recognize a 30-year benchmark of service. “I can’t think of a more appropriate confluence of events than the timing of three very important happenings at McKean County Human Services,” noted DHS Director Dan Wertz. “April was Child Abuse Awareness Month, May is Foster Care Month and today, April 30, 2020, marks the 30-year work anniversary of our one of our most dedicated employees, Resource Care Program Specialist, Lisa Johnston.” In April, the county promoted awareness of child abuse with blue silhouettes of children placed at the Courthouse and blue pinwheels outside at the Children’s Advocacy Center. The blue pinwheel represents innocence as a national symbol for child abuse prevention. Pinwheels reflect

the bright future all children deserve. Foster Care will be honored and recognized in May as an important part of keeping the needs of children and youth in foster care in the minds of the public. Over half the children placed in foster care have a case plan for a timely, safe and stable reunification with their families. McKean County has an ongoing need for foster families. “Day in and day out, we see the best and the worst of family situations,” said Marcy Flickinger, foster care and adoption supervisor. “The thing that gets us through those difficult days is the impact we hope we are making on these families. It takes it’s toll on our staff and
McKean, area counties to have some restrictions eased May 8
HARRISBURG — McKean, Elk, Cameron and Potter counties were among the 24 in rural northern Pennsylvania that were to see some relief from the governor’s strictest orders for residents to stay at home and businesses to close as part of a strategy to contain the spread of the coronavirus. All of the counties that are moving from “red” to “yellow” in Wolf’s color-coded reopening plan are in the northwest and north-central regions of Pennsylvania, which have seen far fewer virus infections and deaths than the rest of the state. The changes are to take effect Friday, May 8. Stay-at-home orders will be lifted and retail shops can start to reopen, though other restrictions will remain in place. The plan was obtained by The Associated Press ahead of Gov. Tom Wolf's announcement. The step-by-step relaxation of state shutdown orders means some counties or regions move from a “red” designation to a “yellow” designation. Under the yellow designation, gatherings of up to 25 people will be allowed. Currently, the statewide red designation bans all gatherings or outside trips that are not related to health, safety or going to work at an
essential job. Gyms, casinos, theaters and other indoor recreational, wellness and entertainment venues will stay closed. Restaurants and bars will still be limited to carry-out or delivery. Child care is open, although businesses must follow federal and state guidance for safety, social distancing and cleaning. Schools statewide remain closed for the rest of the academic year, and visitation restrictions on prisons and nursing homes remain in place. Wolf's administration will continue to recommend that people wear masks in public, and require businesses and commercial buildings that serve the public deny entry to customers not wearing masks. There is no word on when an area could move to a “green” designation, with all pandemic restrictions lifted aside from any federal or state health guidelines that remain in effect. Meanwhile, Wolf has begun loosening some restrictions on business sectors. This past Friday, golf courses, marinas, guided fishing trips and privately owned campgrounds statewide could reopen, and construction restart.
I can’t express enough how much I admire Lisa Johnston for her years of dedication to this work.” Johnston began her journey with McKean County Children and Youth Services on April 30, 1990 working with numerous foster parents and foster children. Her current position is instrumental in managing how each department in the agency works together, as well as with the other services in the county that are critical for children in foster care and foster parents. McKean County District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg Shaffer was a foster care coordinator with Johnston during her prior tenure at CYS. “We would meet with individuals interested in foster parenting and assisting in adoptions. Lisa was a mentor to me and many others,” said Shaffer. “Lisa has a very strong sense of community service and ensuring that the “right” thing is done even if there’s resistance from others or if it’s difficult. I remember her leading the charge on several occasions when she felt that something was wrong, particularly by being a strong advocate for foster parents. And people listened
to her because she was so respected.” Johnston was named 2015 Caseworker of the Year by the Pennsylvania State Resource Family Association. She is a graduate of Smethport Area High School and The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. “Working in child welfare is emotionally challenging since it’s impossible to turn off your thoughts at the end of the day and forget what you’ve seen,” added Shaffer. “Lisa’s longevity at the Agency is a testament to her character and devotion to such an important cause and her deep-rooted sense of family.” Johnston, formerly Lisa Ohman, is a Smethport native and currently resides with her husband in Port Allegany. They have one daughter, who is a physician’s assistant in New York City. Johnston’s focus on the value of the foster family mirrors Shaffer’s perspective. “Foster parents have kept our children safe, loved them as their own, provided permanency, and are a valuable resource to our communities,” said Johnston. “I’ve seen the pain and joy that comes with this
profession. Our children are our future.” “May is Foster Parent Month and we are asking our community to help us in promote this program, along with April as Child Abuse Awareness Month, and to reflect on the service that Lisa has provided to our county,” said Wertz. “I do want to be clear, this is a hallmark of service, not a retirement, we intend to keep Lisa actively working for us as long as long as she will have us.” Johnston summed up the impact and value of foster families, “May is Foster Parent Month, and a time to reflect on how special and valuable these people are to our agency and the children and families they serve. I am truly blessed to have worked with each and everyone one of them and offer thanks from the bottom of my heart.” According to Wertz, Johnston’s co-workers have planned a remote celebration of her career on Thursday. DHS is asking the community to help raise awareness and to participate in meeting a goal of 30 new eligible foster families in 30 days, to honor Johnston’s 30-year commitment to this program.
Area counties among those with highest unemployment rates in Pa.
By JOEL WHETZEL
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on economies, local counties have found themselves paying the price in terms of unemployment — at an even higher rate than the rest of Pennsylvania. According to data released from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, Elk, McKean, Cameron, Potter and Forest counties make up five of the state’s top 10 counties in terms of highest unemployment rate. Forest County faces the state’s highest unemployment rate of 9.7%, up from 7.9% in February. Cameron County was the next highest with a rate of 9.4%, a sharp increase from February’s rate of 6.9. Potter was next, reporting at 9.3%, which was an increase from 7.2% a month ago. McKean County reported the sixth-highest unemployment rate at 8.2%, while Elk was tied for the seventh-highest with a rate of 8.1. Those numbers are up from 6.6% and 6.4%, respectively. By comparison, Pennsylvania reported a statewide unemployment rate of 6.0% for the month of March, up from 5.1% in February and 4.1% in March of 2019. State Rep. Martin Causer, R-Turtlepoint,

points to the statewide stay at home order as the cause of the uptick. Gov. Tom Wolf issued the order on March 19, and since then, only businesses deemed “essential,” such as grocery stores, have been able to remain open. “Before the governor’s business shutdown, we had historic low unemployment rates. Now we have historic high unemployment rates,” Causer said. “When you have an order that is one of the most strict business shutdown orders in the nation, you’re going to have high unemployment rates.” Since March 15, the state has reported more than 1.6 million unemployment claims. The overwhelming increase
has created a burden on the filing system, and as a result, many residents have had trouble filing their claims and therefore have gone without income. “Many, many people are out of work and have been forced out of work because of the governor’s shutdown order,” Causer said. “They’re not getting unemployment compensation, and they’re struggling to feed their families. It’s a really bad situation right now.” As such, the legislator feels it’s time to start reopening the economy in a safe manner, particularly in the Northern Tier. Of Pennsylvania’s 44,366 total COVID-19 cases so far, only 21 have come from the five-county area previously mentioned,
according to data from the state Department of Health. “I believe we have to get people back to work; we have to open the state’s economy back up,” Causer said. “We cannot just shut down the economy of the state, and it’s a situation where we have to get people back to work. We have to do so safely, but it’s critically important we get them back to work.” Wolf announced a three-phased reopening plan, color-coded by red, yellow and green phases, and said earlier this week that an announcement will be made on Friday about which regions can transition from the red phase (what the state is under right now) to the yellow phase beginning on May 8. Causer is hopeful that local residents will be able to return to work on that May 8 target date. “That’s certainly what we’re hoping for, or even sooner,” he said. “The governor reopened all construction activities on May 1, so it seems to be a moving target… May 8 is the day he targeted for reopening many counties in Pennsylvania. We certainly hope we can get the Northern Tier counties open very quickly.” When businesses do reopen, though, Causer cautions that social distancing guidelines should still be upheld.

Want to start a vegetable garden? Here’s how
By RUTH BOGDAN
Spring is here, and everyone is spending more time stuck at home than ever. Anyone who thinks that this year is a great year to start a vegetable garden is not alone. Bob Harris, a Master Gardener in McKean County, said all the seed racks he sees at the store are nearly empty. “Every time there’s stress in America, it seems like gardening really picks up,” he said. To help those who are inexperienced at gardening, Harris provided some tips. To start, Harris offered advice on what a reasonable size for a garden is. He said that depends on the person. “If you just want to pick and eat your own tomatoes, then a fivegallon bucket is enough,” he said. He recommended starting two 4-foot-by8-foots beds, which will provide space for several kinds of produce. He explained that having two beds, while not necessary, will make it easier to rotate crops. Now is a good time to prepare the site or find pots in which to plant. Harris noted containers don’t have to be pots — any container will do. He even has some old wheelbarrows that he’s used as planters. For planting in the ground, gardeners will want to have beds with prepared soil at least six inches high. Harris recommends that at least a third of the fill should be some kind of organic matter that can include matter such as peat moss, compost, old sawdust, manure or leaves. “We’re not blessed with great soil here,” he said, explaining there is a lot of clay in local soil, which can be good and bad for different reasons. The organic matter improves it. When should people start planting? “For me, it’s going to be around June 1, when all threat of frost is over with,” Harris said. People can start

planting veggies outside in this area anywhere from the end of May to the beginning of June, according to Harris. However, the earlier someone plants outside, the more likely they will need to cover plants to protect them from frost. Even if it gets to be early July before someone decides to put in plants, there is still time. “I always like to stress, once June 1 comes and you haven’t planted your garden, it’s not the end of the world,” said Harris, who noted, “A lot of my best gardens I didn’t get to plant until July 4.” He explained that many vegetables are tropical plants and like a lot of heat and sunshine. If they are exposed to cooler temperatures before they are strong enough, it “can shock them and set them back as much as 30 days.” However, once mid to late July comes, it’s probably too late in the season to expect plants to have time to grow. When deciding what plants to grow, Harris said people should try to stick with plants they like and believe they will eat. “Don’t use up valuable space just because you thought, ‘I want to see what hot peppers taste like,’” he said. Harris suggested that people who do want to experiment just grow one plant this year of the experimental vegetable, and “Save the rest of the space for what you know
you’re going to eat.” He also said it’s very important to save space for flowering plants, such as marigolds or petunias — “anything to attract the pollinators.” Attracting pollinators determines “the success or failure of the garden.” One of the most common mistakes new gardeners make is using too much — or too little — water, according to Harris. He recommends building the vegetable garden as close to the water source as possible, while still keeping the garden in full sun. It will be easier to water. However, “Clay tends to hold moisture for a long period of time,” he said, which makes it easy to drown plants. “Learn to check your soil out.” He explained that just because the surface of the dirt is dry, it doesn’t mean the soil is dry near the roots of the vegetable plants. It’s a good idea to dig a little hole in the garden once in a while to see how moist the soil is. If it’s the color of black coffee, it’s wet enough, but if it’s the color of coffee with cream, it’s probably dry, he said. Gardening is more fun with a friend, too. Harris recommended sharing an interest in gardening with a neighbor. He suggested loaning a neighbor an extra pot, or giving them extra plants. That neighbor may return the favor one day. Also, chat with the neighbor, Harris said.
“There’s no better advice than local advice,” he said. A local gardener will know best what techniques work best here. Harris added that much of the advice available for Pennsylvania growers comes from below Interstate 80, which is a different area than here. Harris did say it is easier than ever for a new gardener to find information on caring for a garden. With internet and television resources, information is plentiful and easy to find. For Harris, the biggest benefit of growing his own vegetable garden is having the satisfaction of picking a tomato out of his yard that he grew himself. A homegrown tomato, he noted, can have up to five times more nutrients than a store bought one. He noted that he has nothing against industrial farming, but explained that many grow so long in the same location they need to use a lot of fertilizers and consequently end up with more insects and disease. They have to “spray constantly” to fix the issues, as well as “feed constantly.” With homegrown vegetables, gardeners can use fresh soil that has been amended to make it fertile, and growers can be guaranteed there’s no chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. It’s “true organic, healthy food,” he said. He noted he does “recommend using a little fertilizer once in a while,” but it won’t be a “disaster” if gardeners don’t use it. Another big benefit is building confidence, Harris said. “It’s just a really good feeling that you can accomplish something like that,” he explained. “You’re gonna make mistakes, and you’re gonna handle the mistakes,” he said. “I’m still gonna have plants that fail. You can’t let that bother you.”

By JOEL WHETZEL SMETHPORT — McKean County residents still needing to pay their county property or per capita taxes may do so without penalty through August now. The McKean County commissioners opted by a 2-1 vote at Tuesday’s regular meeting to extend the deadline for the face value period of the taxes to Aug. 31 from the original May 31 end date. Those paying after the new deadline will face a 10% penalty. The resolution for the extension was approved by Commissioners Carol Duffy and Cliff Lane. “We realize this is a tough time for our residents that are unemployed,” Lane said. “This is a big expense that comes once a year, and we’re trying to work with them to give them more time to pay that.” Commissioner Thomas Kreiner was the lone vote against the resolution. Kreiner stated he would have rather extended the face value deadline through the end of the calendar year. After the meeting, Duffy further clarified her

McKean County commissioners extend tax face value periods through August stance on the new Aug. 31 deadline after a question from the Kane Republican. “We have revenue budgeted for penalty and interest, and I considered that somewhat because there’s no way for the county to recapture that anywhere else,” she said. “Departmental revenue will be down; I don’t know what we’re looking at for year-end. It’s a balance to acknowledge the hardship taxpayers are having with COVID-19 but also to look out for county finances.” Commissioners unanimously approved updated guidelines for Community Development Block Grant spot demolition. Previously, private property owners could apply to the program as an incentive to update blight properties. Now, guidelines provide that the resource is for municipalities and counties to enforce local ordinances and to remove blight from abandoned properties, rather than an incentive for property owners. In other business, Planning Commission director Jeremy Morey provided an update on McKean County’s participation in the 2020
Census. Thus far, efforts from the McKean County Complete Count Committee have been strained by the COVID-19 outbreak, but the group is still working to do public outreach to ensure as many residents as possible participate in the Census. Morey noted that participation has varied across the county, with Bradford Township at a 67% response rate and Foster Township at a 57% rate, while on the low end, Norwich Township has a 12% rate and Sergeant Township has the county’s lowest rate at 7%. Morey highlighted a pair of challenges facing those municipalities. First, residents in those areas have not received their paper invitations to complete the Census because Census employees are not able to physically deliver them during the pandemic. Second, broadband challenges in those areas prevent many residents from completing the questionnaire online. Those still needing to complete the Census may do so online at 2020census. gov or by phone at 844330-2020.
The Complete Count Committee also received a $10,000 outreach grant from the state Department of Community and Economic Development. Funds from the grant will be used to increase visibility and awareness of the Census. County Economic Development director Sherri Geary provided commissioners with an update on efforts to help support local businesses. The office is helping to refer county businesses to the Partnerships for Regional Economic Performance (PREP) network, which includes local chambers, economic development groups, commercial leaders and the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), among other efforts. Geary noted that the SBA Small Business Loan is proving to be a challenge, but that local lenders have filed several thousand applications for local commercial and small business owners. She also made clear that recovery planning is needed by communities to begin an organized process to get businesses back into
action as the pandemic ends. “If we could work together to pool our resources and planning, it would help the region as well as McKean County to get jump-started again,” she said. Also, 2019 Community Development Block Grants from the North Central PA Regional Planning and Development Commission were approved for the following municipalities: • $107,683 for Eldred Borough and Foster Township Rehab 100% LMI • $58,000 for municipalities except Bradford City and Bradford Township for spot demolition for blight • $30,000 for Foster Township for Water Lateral Assistance 100% LMI • $78,371 for Bradford Township for housing rehab 100% LMI, and • $10,000 for Bradford Township for spot demolition for blight. The next scheduled meeting for the McKean County Commission is set for May 12 at 10 a.m. The meeting will again be done through teleconference so as to promote social distancing.

Notice As you know, we run many reader ads for • Government Auctions • Job Positions • Earn Money at home • Cash Loans, Credit Cards, etc. Most of these ads come through state and national ad networks. Most of them are selling directories or listings of where to APPLY FOR what is advertised. This information may be available at less cost elsewhere. While these ads are screened where possible, we have no way of verifying the authenticity of their claims or the value of their product. The buying decision must be yours. If you have problems with any of these advertisers, please let us know. Read the ads Carefully. Some charge a fee, as noted in the ad, directly to your phone bill when you call them. Once again, we can’t verify the authenticity, consider their offers and make voluntary and reasonable buying decisions.
