One great part of the local region is the ability to enjoy nature, and for many, that means walking, biking or hiking on the wide variety of available trails.

Too often though, people look at trails for their recreational and/or environmental aspects, failing to see the big picture of what trails can bring to communities, including economic, transportation and public

identity.

In addition to providing a safe place for people of all ages to enjoy recreational activities, trails also function as a transportation system.

“The ability to avoid congested streets and highways and travel through natural areas on foot or by non-motorized means, is a large factor in a community’s “livability,”” reads a

Trails also have a positive impact on environmental conservation, by helping preserve natural landscapes and offering opportunities for protecting plant and animal species.

Through the use of trails, humans can experience nature with minimal environmental impact.

Many communities have experienced economic revitalization, due in part to

lions of dollars of revenue from people patronizing local shops and restaurants.

“The return investment is significant, not just for return dollars — for improving the community and making it a place where young families want to relocate,” said Kent Spellman from the Rails to Trails

HOME & GARDEN

SMETHPORT, PA — With only three returning starters on each side of the ball, Adam Jack’s team will feature plenty of new faces this fall.

Luckily for Jack and Smethport, however, his returners were some of the Hubbers’ most valuable players a season ago. Senior quarterback and reigning Big 30 Pennsylvania Player of the Year Noah Lent will lead a Hubbers team that hopes to not miss a step after last year’s undefeated regular season.

“These kids know what the expectations are and they have confidence in themselves that they’re not going to have a drop-off from last year,” said Jack,

who enters his fifth season as Smethport head coach.

“We expect to be contending for a playoff spot just like we have the last three years.”

And contend they have.

After a 5-0 regular season, 2020 ended in disappointment when the Hubbers lost to Redbank Valley in the District 9 Class A title game. Smethport was picked to finish tied with Coudersport atop D9’s Small School North division this year.

To Jack, however, predictions don’t mean much.

“I don’t really put a lot of stock in who picks who where,” he said. “We’ve

The benefits of child-safe home improvements solvents, and other potential poisons out of reach.

Erect fencing around pools and yards Install fencing around pools to keep children from wandering close to the water’s edge. Towns and cities may require certain fence heights or self-latching gates to keep little ones safe. Young children should never be left to their own devices around any source of water, whether it’s a pool, tub or toilet.

Test and replace smoke alarms Smoke and carbon

All family members should be considered when home improvements are being planned, especially the youngest household residents who may not be responsible enough to avoid accidents and injuries.

According to a recent Vital Signs report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, accidental injuries are a leading cause of death among the country’s youth — with one fatality occurring every hour from something entirely preventable. The CDC notes that the leading causes of child injury include suffocation, drowning, poisoning, fires, and falls. More can be done to keep children safe, and many strategies start at home.

Install security systems A security system can be just as effective at keeping little ones inside as it is at keeping unwanted guests outside. Alarms can be set to sound anytime a window

or door is breached, which can deter curious children from trying to leave the house without permission. Pair the alarm system with secure locks and high latches that can also stop children in their tracks.

Remove fall hazards Safety devices installed on windows that are above ground level can keep children safe. Stair rails should

be secure and in good working order. Temporary gates can block kids from getting on stairways. Improve lighting around staircases to help children and adults avoid falls, and remove any obstacles.

Anchor heavy furniture The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that unanchored televisions and top-heavy

furniture can tip over onto children and cause severe injuries and even death.

Everyday furniture can be tempting to climb; therefore, using anchors to secure furniture to walls for security is a must.

Install locking cabinets Locking cabinets can keep medications, household chemicals, home improvement paints and

monoxide detectors are only useful if they are functional.

Homeowners should inspect such devices regularly to ensure proper operation and promptly replace old or faulty detectors to improve safety.

Kane’s Whiteman prepped, ready for baseball at Gannon

BY NATE STEIS KANE — If someone is good enough at something, their talent will shine through.

For Kane native and soon-to-be Gannon Golden Knight Carson Whiteman, a canceled junior baseball season and quiet demeanor did not deter his goal of becoming a college baseball player.

With a career that began like most, playing tee-ball, baseball was not always Whiteman’s top sport. It took some encouragement from his father to get him more interested in his potential as a ballplayer.

“I was more into basketball and soccer growing up, but baseball really started to be my main sport around Little League when I started playing travel baseball,” Whiteman said.

Travel baseball and extra games each summer eventually started to pay off for Whiteman, who became one of District 9’s star pitchers. He tossed two no-hitter’s this past high school season and came within one strike

of a perfect game against Smethport.

He went on to help Kane to an appearance in the D9 title game.

As a senior, Whiteman compiled a 0.90 ERA, won

eight games, struck out 132 batters in 62 innings, and opponents hit just .143 off of him his senior year.

His strikeout tally was top-five in the state and top15 in the nation, according

to MaxPreps.com.

Whiteman received interest from a variety of schools, including St. John Fisher, Penn State Behrend, Walsh and Gannon.

Ultimately, becoming a

Bradford Save Our Hospital group plans town hall meeting

BY MARCIE SCHELLHAMMER BRADFORD — The local group working to “save” Bradford Regional Medical Center is planning a town hall meeting for mid-September — and is inviting Upper Allegheny Health System representatives to take part.

When asked Friday if UAHS representatives would consider taking part in such a meeting, spokesman Dennis McCarthy said, “Should we receive such an invitation, BRMC and UAHS would respectfully decline.”

The goal of the meeting, according to Marty Wilder of the Save Our Hospital group, is to “share with the community what has been learned to date, and to chart the future.”

Wilder explained the group has been working for several months to “unpack the complicated history surrounding the hospital, trying to discover how we got to where we are now — without a fully functional hospital.”

Earlier this year, officials with Upper Allegheny Health System, parent company of BRMC and Olean (N.Y.) General Hospital, consolidated services between the two locations.

BRMC still has the services that hospital officials said were used the most — behavioral health, the sleep disorder center, WIC program, Upbeat cardiac rehab, SMART rehab, The Pavilion at BRMC, SAFE center (sexual assault forensic examiner), imaging services, occupational health, lab services, School of Radiology, emergency department, diabetes and nutrition center and the wound clinic. Ten medical beds remain at the facility as well.

The Olean campus will continue to provide its interventional cardiac catheterization laboratory — which operates jointly with Kaleida Health’s Gates Vascular Institute — as well as its neurology program and stroke center, ICU intensivist program, radiation oncology, vascular services, orthopedic surgery, dialysis services and wound care, including hyperbaric therapy.

Kaleida is the affiliate parent of UAHS.

The SOH group began with Wilder, Betsy Costello and Harriet Nevil, a group of area residents concerned about not having a full-service hospital in Bradford.

Plans were nearly completed by the time the information went public, which is a point of contention with SOH. Wilder said much of what the group has done so far has been “an attempt to understand how important decisions were made, mostly in recent years, to dramatically change the health care landscape in Bradford by Kaleida Health. The changes made at Bradford Hospital have not just been consequential but never fully explained.

This lack of transparency has caused a great deal of suspicion and anger.”

Unanswered questions linger.

“In fact, our number one question — which Kaleida officials probably believe has been asked and answered — (is) what were the factors considered when the decision was made to institute these changes to the services at Bradford Regional earlier this year?

“Why, instead, were Bradford and McKean County residents given few options other than a trip to Olean General Hospital and entry to the Kaleida Health system based in Buffalo, N.Y.?”

She continued, “We would also like to know when the decision was made, who was involved in the decision, when did the process and planning begin, and why was the public so woefully uninformed from start to finish?”

The group has been

informed that changes were in the works as early as 2017, yet the public wasn’t told.

And what information has been released has been contradicted.

“We continue to reliably hear that another hospital or medical group is interested in buying Bradford Hospital but officials have stated there not only is no such interest, there never has been,” Wilder said. “In addition, Kaleida apparently has no desire to sell.

Such a sale, of course, could be hugely important to Bradford and its citizens.”

There are many more questions that citizens want answered, Wilder said.

“If you were a patient today in one of Bradford Hospital’s 10 rooms and had a medical emergency, is there a doctor available to treat you on site? How are ambulances, particularly Bradford city ambulances,

making transportation decisions to use Bradford as a way station before taking an emergency patient to Olean? If so, will a patient be billed twice?”

The biggest concern of all is the future, Wilder added.

“What does Bradford hospital’s future hold within the parent organization of Kaleida, which, we know, has closed small rural hospitals in other regions?” she asked.

Wilder said that details are still being worked out about the town hall, which they hope will be the first of several.

“We want the town hall not to become merely an exercise in blame and condemnation but a constructive way for our community to look at our problem, and find solutions,” she said.

Golden Knight was the opportunity he could not pass up.

“Gannon is such a welcoming community and baseball program,” Whiteman said.

“The school offers a great city environment and also allows me to stay close to home, which was something that was important for me.”

Whiteman’s most recent college prep came while playing for Wilcox Post #467 in the Elk County Legion Baseball League.

“It has been a really great experience to play with some childhood friends and some really talented players this year,” he said. “We practiced six or seven days a week and we all got along really well with each other. Our relationship in baseball and outside of baseball is something that I think sets us apart from other teams.”

Whiteman is also getting some extra games as a member of the Southern Tier Cardinals travel organization, based out of Smethport. The team has traveled to tournaments in Johnstown, Beaver Falls,

Pittsburgh and more.

Last summer, he was able to head to a few tournaments with the ElkMcKean travel team that was compiled late in the summer. Whiteman also linked up with Beimel Baseball and Minnesota Twins organization southpaw, Josh Mitchell, in order to keep his arm at a top level.

Whiteman credits his high school coaches at Kane and Legion coaches from Wilcox for helping him over the years.

In his free time, Whiteman can be found playing basketball with friends or getting outside to fish. He’ll study chemical engineering at Gannon, a passion that he credits Mrs. Joanne Perry for helping him discover in high school.

“I am just focused on being the best ball player and pitcher I can be,” Whiteman said. “I will exclusively be a pitcher at Gannon, so I am really focusing on being as ready as I can for college baseball.”

got a new group of kids.

They’re basing (predictions) off of past history, and past history means e nothing. We’ll get these kids ready to go and we will get better every week a as the season goes on.”

LENT NOW has two years of varsity quarterp backing experience under his belt. s He completed 39-of89 passes last year for 617 s yards, tossing 13 touchdowns while being intercepted three times. He , added 813 yards on the ground, proving his dual-threat ability.

“He’s developed into a leader and a playmaker for us,” Jack said. “He eles vates the play of the other players. What else can you h say about a kid who was Big 30 Player of the Year in Pennsylvania?”

Most of Lent’s familn iar weapons are gone, ina cluding Ryli Burritt and m Braedon Johnson, who s combined for over 1,100 e all-purpose yards last year.

Tight end Brandon Higley returns for his senior season, but the Hubbers’ experience at the skill positions ends there.

“Besides (Higley) and (Lent), everyone else will be touching the ball for the first time at a varsity level,” Jack said. “But we’re pretty excited about some of the kids that are going to step up this year.”

Without having to worry about the quarterback position, Jack and his staff’s offensive attention shifts to the line of scrimmage. Travis Cooney is the lone returner on an offensive line that will rely on the 6-1, 180-pound senior for leadership.

“The main thing for us is to develop our offensive line and get them to gel quickly,” Jack said.

“I’m optimistic that with (Cooney) and our coaches working with those guys, they’ll be ready to go when it counts.”

Smethport will continue to operate what Jack called a “power spread” offense, a scheme that assistant coach Joel Lent has worked to refine over the last three seasons.

“The system will remain the same until we need to make a change, but the kids we have coming in are ready to step up and play,” Jack said. “Our expectations aren’t going to be lessened just because we have new faces out there.”

THE LUXURY of a full offseason, something Big 30 teams were deprived of last year, has helped Smethport’s new faces become acclimated.

“We’re going to expect them to get to the level they need to be at, and I think that they will,” Jack said. “They’ve shown that they’re ready to do that with their dedication to the weight room in the offseason.”

The resumption of a weightlifting program, 7-on-7 scrimmages and other offseason programs saw exceptional attendance, perhaps better than expected. With the familiarity of offseason routines comes comfort that was missing a year ago.

“It feels like we’re back to our old routines,” Jack said. “That’s comforting for us veteran coaches.

And I think the kids feel more comfortable knowing that they’ve gone back to the routines they’re used to from years past.”

Defensively, Cooney and Lent will look to anchor a unit that, like the other side of the ball, will feature a handful of inexperienced players. Cooney racked up a team-high 42 total tackles last season and will once again lead the Hubbers’ linebacking core.

“Even though they were freshmen, you could see

them stepping up in their roles, even when they were in junior high,” Jack said of Lent and Cooney. “The reason that they’re here is because they’re leaders. And I expect them to be leaders for the team this upcoming season.”

Lent made 15 tackles and one interception last year from the safety position. Jack hopes that, while names of the tacklers will largely be different, this year’s group will continue to play the Hubbers’ signature defensive style.

“Our strength has been our ability to play fast and aggressively,” he said.

“We’re aggressive on both sides of the ball. I think that’s what you’re going to see from us.”

The Hubbers have compiled a 19-1 record in league play over the past three seasons. Jack hopes that, with added experience each week, this group will continue to dominate the area’s small schools. “(Last year’s) team played hard, but they had a lot of fun doing it,” Jack said. “That’s going to be the identity. We like to take games and win games, not just be out there looking to compete.”

Angela Milford, who has served as a corrections officer and deputy warden for 28 years, was unanimously appointed by Jail Board members (from left) Glenn Drake, Andy Watson, Paul Heimel, Nancy Grupp, Barry Hayman and Stephen Minor.

First Jail Board,First Female Warden History was made on Aug 6. in two ways. Not only did the Potter County Jail Board of Inspectors hold its inaugural meeting, the board installed the first female jail warden in county history. Angela Milford, who has served as a corrections officer and deputy warden for 28 years, was unanimously appointed by Jail Board members (from left) Glenn Drake, Andy Watson, Paul Heimel, Nancy Grupp, Barry Hayman

and Stephen Minor. Also during the organizational meeting, members unanimously elected Commissioner Heimel as chair, Sheriff Drake as vice chair, Commissioner Grupp as secretary, and Commissioner Hayman as controller. A separate unanimous vote established the chief clerk of Potter County, currently Jessica Giebel, as administrator, a non-voting position that is subject to concurrence by the Board of Commissioners.

Jail Board meetings will be held at noon on the first Friday of each month in the Gunzburger Building and are open to the public. County Solicitor Tom Shaffer has been advising the commissioners on legal and procedural matters.

Potter had been one of just two counties in the state that still required its elected sheriff to serve in a dual role as jail warden. In changing to a Jail Board system the commissioners said, “The

sheriff-as-warden system harkens back to an era when operating a jail was geared toward punishment, confinement and removing menaces from society. That system was not designed to administer state-mandated services such as mental health/addiction treatment and other changes in the corrections field.” McKean is now the only other Pennsylvania county in which the sheriff is also required to serve as jail warden.

Erie recycling company spares 1.3 million bottles from the landfill (TNS) ERIE — Hometown connections, including a Little League coach, helped an Erie company save 1.3 million pounds of glass bottles from being trashed in upstate New York.

Prism Glass Recycling stepped in to find a way to get the hundreds of skids of unused cobalt blue bottles from a warehouse near Corning, New York, to a facility that could crush the glass to be made into new containers by a manufacturer in McKean’s County’s Port Allegany.

It wasn’t easy.

Cobalt glass is more rarely used than clear glass and other colors of glass.

The Ardagh Glass plant in Port Allegany, for instance, makes cobalt glass containers only every other year.

And 500 skids are a lot of bottles to haul and crush for recycling.

But when Scott DeFife, president of the Glass Packaging Institute and the Glass Recycling Foundation, asked if Erie’s Prism Glass Recycling could help save the bottles from being discarded, it found a way.

The bottles had been manufactured for Mxy Fusions Moscato, a company co-owned by rapper Nicki Minaj. For some reason, the bottles hadn’t been used and would have to be landfilled if they could not be repurposed.

“They were taking up an incredible amount of warehouse space,” said Laura Guncheon, vice president of project management for Erie Management Group, which owns Prism Glass Recycling.

“We thought at first that we could get the bottles to Erie for de-casing here and then into our logistics chain through Prism,” Guncheon said. “But with over a million bottles, 500 skids of them, we did the math and realized that with the manpower and wherewithal we have, we couldn’t get it done in the amount of time we had. The end markets wanted the crushed glass by the end of summer.”

That’s where Guncheon’s hometown friends in Port Allegany came in.

“I grew up in Port Allegany and have a ton of friends who work at the Ardagh Glass plant there,” Guncheon said. “My Little League coach had just retired from the plant, and I texted him to ask if the plant ran blue glass and if so, how often.”

The coach replied that the plant made cobalt glass

every other year and would creative thinking, but we many.” kept the glass from being be making it this summer.

Prism Glass Recycling

More than a million unused glass bottles are shown on 500 skids in a Pennsylvania warehouse. The glass was crushed and recycled for use as beverage bottles.

Guncheon next contacted family friends who own a small glass processing plant just outside Port Allegany where the bottles might be crushed into cullet for re-manufacture by Ardagh.

“He said he’d love to process the glass, but with three employees, couldn’t do it in the amount of time available,” Guncheon said.

“I got back to Ardagh and said that we still wanted to get the glass to them, but local processors just couldn’t handle it,” she said.

A cullet buyer for Ardagh in Chicago pointed out that there’s another processor, Central Recycling Cooperative, in Horseheads, N.Y., just 40 miles from the facility where the glass bottles were being stored.

Guncheon next contacted Central.

“They thought it was too good to be true that there were all these bottles that were not capped and didn’t have plastic labels that they’d have to pull out of the crushed glass,” Guncheon said.

Guncheon arranged for Campbell Trucking, of Potter County, to haul the 1.3 million bottles from the Corning area warehouse in 18 truckloads in June.

Central Recycling Cooperative crushed the bottles into 344 tons of furnace-ready cullet that were then trucked to Port Allegany, where Ardagh Glass is using it to make new bottles for non-alcoholic beverages.

“It was a lot of back and forth and a lot of really

landfilled and it’s being reused instead,” Guncheon said.

“There are other opportunities like this out there,” she said. “If you get the right people around the table and think about the problem creatively, you can make things happen.”

Erie Management Group founder and CEO Samuel P. “Pat” Black III has focused other businesses on taking what otherwise would be waste material and giving it useful life. Black in 2005 founded Lake Erie Biofuels, known as Hero BX, which produces over 100 million gallons of biofuel annually in four states from “waste” materials.

Glass can be reused again and again, he said.

“Glass can be infinitely recycled without loss of quality or purity,” Black said. “So these very bottles can be remolded countless times, and we’d like to think that this is the first of

repurposes glass that it collects from commercial businesses and from community drop-off sites in Erie County. The sites are listed on the company website at www.prismrecycling.com.

“There is estimated to be 5,000 tons of glass in Erie County alone each year in wine, spirits and brewed beverage containers, which doesn’t include your pickle and salsa jars and (containers) for spaghetti sauce, iced tea, lemonade, etc.,” said Black’s daughter, Sumi James-Black, who is at the helm of Prism Glass Recycling.

Some municipalities don’t collect glass: Erie area residents forced to change recycling habits The Glass Recycling Foundation featured the Prism Glass effort to save and reuse the 1.3 million glass Moscato bottles on its website at glassrecyclingfoundation.org.
