RECORD NUMBER OF ANGLERS PARTICIPATE IN 30TH ANNUAL UPPER PINE CREEK TROUT TOURNAMENT PRESS RELEASE WITH PHOTO AND CAPTION

PRESS RELEASE:
A record number of fishermen registered for the May 15 and 16 Upper Pine Creek Trout Tournament held along a 13-mile stretch of Pine Creek in Tioga and Potter counties. The 644 anglers caught a total of 162 of the 250 tagged fish, 124 on Saturday and 38 on Sunday, a new record.

“This was definitely a good year,” said Zach Snyder of Pittsburgh, one of five fisherman who took home $500 in cash thanks to the luck of the draw. Six $500 cash awards were listed on the prize board along with the top prize of $1,000.

“Usually the water is high and cold on Saturday but this year the water was good, the weather cooperated and the fish were definitely biting,” Snyder said. “We caught 15 fish. One was a 21-inch brown that we got in the same hole as the tagged fish.”

“Zach is being deployed to Egypt next week and told us he plans to be back next year to fish our tournament again,” said Jim Baney, president of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon Snowmobile Club, which has been sponsoring the tournament since 1991.

“It all comes down to the luck of the draw,” Baney said. Participants must bring their tagged fish in “live condition” to the snowmobile clubhouse on Route 6 where they draw a numbered ping-pong ball for each tagged trout they catch. The number on the ball is matched to the number on the club’s prize board to identify what the angler has won. “Anglers like the ball draw because everyone has an equal chance to win our largest cash prizes rather than those who happen to catch the ‘right’ fish,” said Baney. “No one took home the $1,000 in cash or the sixth $500 prize.”

“We had well over $14,000 in cash, merchandise and gift certificate prizes this year,” said Baney. “In 2019, 518 people registered to fish and 94 of the 250 tagged fish were caught. That record was smashed this year.”

Albert DiMassimo of Montoursville, caught three tagged trout, drew three ping-pong balls, one for $500 and two for $50 and took home $600 in cash. He has been participating in the tournament for about 20 years and plans to return in 2022.

Another $500 winner, Brandon Crumb of Stony Fork in Delmar Township has entered the tournament for 22 years. “I was 16 my first time at the tournament,” he said. “About eight years ago, I caught a fish tagged with a $500 cash prize. That was before they started the luck of the draw.”

“I won a $100 prize before but this is my first $500 cash prize,” said Paul Melicharek of Schnecksville, Pa. “I started entering the Upper Pine Creek Trout Tournament 15 or 16 years ago. I hadn’t been able to come up for the past three years.”

Also winning a $500 cash prize was Tom Kilburn of Osceola Township. “I have fished at this tournament for 30 years, every year since it was first held in 1991. I caught two tagged trout this year and won $500 and $50. That’s the biggest amount of money I’ve ever won here.”

The 30th Anniversary Appreciation Drawing was held at 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 15. All registered participants could enter for a chance to win one of two $1,000 cash prizes. The two winners were: Lesia Potter of Painted Post, N.Y. and Hunter Johns of Ephrata.

Thirty youngsters, 12 and under, won rod and reel combos in the free “Draw A Ball and Win A Prize” event . “We ran out of prizes but with the help of Smitty’s Sports in Gaines, the Tackle Shack in Wellsboro and club members who donate items, we will do it again in 2022,” said Baney.

Tournament proceeds provide scholarships to graduating high school seniors, assist families with special needs and local charities, are used to groom and maintain area snowmobile trails and help cover the club’s annual operating expenses.

SIX HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS ARE AWARDED 2021 UPPER PINE CREEK TROUT TOURNAMENT SCHOLARSHIPS PRESS RELEASE WITH PHOTO AND CAPTION

PRESS RELEASE:
Six seniors from five high schools in Tioga and Potter counties were awarded the Upper Pine Creek Trout Tournament Scholarship for Wildlife, Ecology and the Environment on Sunday, May 16 during the annual tournament.

Presenting the $500 scholarships to the students were Pennsylvania Grand Canyon Snowmobile Club President Jim Baney and Cheryl Gross, a member of the club’s board of directors, along with Seneca Resources Company, LLC representatives Jim Westbrook, district production foreman, and Wayne Fletcher, environmental health and safety representative. The event took place at the snowmobile clubhouse at 4814 Route 6, 12 miles west of Wellsboro.

“With Seneca Resources partnering with us this year, we were able to award six $500 scholarships,” said Baney. Seneca Resources is the exploration and production segment of National Fuel Gas Company.
The snowmobile club has been presenting scholarships to graduating high school seniors every May since the tournament began. The only exception was in 2020 when it was cancelled due to the pandemic. The club awarded two $100 scholarships each year from 1991 to 2007; three $300 scholarships from 2008 to 2018; and three $500 scholarships in 2019.

Each student completed an application for the 2021 scholarship that included writing short essays. The first was on what they see as major wildlife, ecological, and/or environmental issues in their areas. The second was how their chosen career field would allow them to have a positive influence on these issues. “Each student’s answers were very thoughtful and reflected well on them, their education and families,” Baney said.

Curtis Craig, a senior at North Penn-Mansfield High School, is the son of Scott and Betsy Craig of Covington Township. This fall, he will attend Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio and major in civil engineering.

Hope Sampson of Charleston Township, a senior at Wellsboro Area High School, is the daughter of Mary Beth Lasko of Middlebury Township and Matt Sampson of Charleston Township. This fall, she plans to attend Montana University in Missoula and major in environmental science and sustainability. Sampson also plans to earn a master’s degree and work in the Peace Corps.

Carter Anderson of Allegany Township, a senior at Northern Potter High School in Ulysses, is the son of Jon and Keri Anderson, both of Coudersport. In the fall of 2022, Carter plans to attend Paul Smith’s College in Paul Smiths, New York and major in forestry. He is taking a year off before going to college to work as a forestry consultant either with the state of Pennsylvania or with a private company. “The scholarship and working for a year will help me financially so I can graduate with less debt,” he said.

Alexis Banik, a senior at Wellsboro Area High School, is the daughter of Lisa and Stephen Banik of Charleston Township. This fall, she will attend Penn State University in State College, and major in veterinary and biomedical sciences, a four-year program. She then plans to continue her studies for four more years to become a veterinarian.

Stevia Swimley, a senior at Cowanesque Valley High School, is the daughter of Erin and Tom Swimley of Knoxville. This fall, she plans to attend Penn State Harrisburg and major in political science. She wants to do something in government such as public administration or policy-making. “I don’t have enough money to pay for my first semester in college so I am looking for a second job and applying for a ton of scholarships,” Swimley said.

Ryann Upham of Jackson Township, a senior at North Penn-Liberty High School, is the daughter of Angela Upham of Liberty Township and Brett Upham of Jackson Township. This fall, she plans to attend Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia and take undecided business, an exploratory course, to help her decide what aspect of business she wants to pursue.

All six students said this scholarship would help them afford to go to college and to graduate by assisting with tuition or book costs.

Sponsoring this concert are the Endless Mountain Music Festival and the Deane Center for the Performing Arts.

Playing a blend of traditional Irish, Scottish and maritime tunes and their own brand of “Celtic eclectic” will be Amanda Wells on guitar, Rod Nevin on pennywhistle, ukulele and Scottish smallpipes and band founder Tom Knapp on fiddle and bódhran drum. All three sing.

The trio’s energy will get the audience clapping, dancing and singing along.

A sampling of the songs and tunes they may perform from their playlist are: “I’ll Tell Me Ma”, “The Road to Lisdoonvarna”, “The Ferryman”, “Lily the Pink”, “The Swallowtail”, “Reilly’s Daughter”, “Red-Haired Mary”, “Tha Mi Sgith (gaelic)”, “The Susquehanna Pirate”, “The Wellerman”, “Lannigan’s Ball”, “The Hills of Connemara”, “Donald Where’s Your Troosers?”, “Scarce o’ Tatties”, “Bonaparte’s March” and “Finnegan’s Wake”.

“DEAD MAN’S CELL PHONE” CAST MEMBERS ARE IN REHEARSALS FOR JUNE PERFORMANCES PRESS RELEASE WITH PHOTO AND CAPTION:

PRESS RELEASE:
Hamilton-Gibson is currently preparing for its second production in front of a live audience, “Dead Man’s Cell Phone” being directed by Gabe Hakvaag of Wellsboro.

Cast members are in rehearsals for performances at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, June 4, 5, 11 and 12 and 2:30 p.m. on Sundays, June 6 and 13 in the Warehouse Theatre at 3 Central Avenue in Wellsboro.

“The Last Romance,” a bittersweet romantic comedy with a twist, sold out five of its six shows the first two weekends in May. It did not matter that only a limited number of seats were available due to social distancing. This was the first time the community theater arts group had produced a live show since October 2020.

“This play struck a chord of hope and art and connectedness,” said Thomas Putnam, its director. “Audience members were thrilled to be able to meet again for a live theater production. A number came a second time and brought friends with them. It was a great experience for everybody,” Putnam said.

“Dead Man’s Cell Phone” is a very different kind of comedy. It tells the story of Jean. She is in a cafe trying to enjoy her lunch but is frustrated because the cell phone of the man seated at the next table keeps ringing incessantly but he won’t answer it. She storms over, picks up the phone and begins speaking to the man’s callers, one after another. They identify him as Gordon. Soon, she realizes that Gordon is dead.

This modern fable, written by highly respected American playwright, Sarah Ruhl, explores the paradox of modern technology’s ability to both unite and isolate people in the digital age.

“Ruhl’s productions are intentionally highly imaginative and collaborative, and cast members are expected to bring creative problem solving along with acting skills to the production,” said Hakvaag.

“She captures everyday actions within a mythic framework, telling stories the way fables are told: this thing happened, then this and then this,” Hakvaag said. “The results are stories that are both delicate and hilariously funny, simply charming but with teeth that bite.”

“Dead Man’s Cell Phone” is also about how people memorialize the dead and how remembering changes them. Through this odyssey, Jean is forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world.

Jean is played by Kadee Jay of Mansfield and Gordon by Tim Wilbourn of Wellsboro. Ellen Schaefer of Muncy Valley is Mrs. Gottlieb, Gordon’s mother. Kacy Hagan plays two characters, Hermia, Gordon’s widow and The Other Woman, a stranger. Joshua Allen is Dwight, Gordon’s brother. Both Hagan and Allen are from Wellsboro.

Taylor Nickerson is the choreographer and Sean Bartlett is the stage manager of the show.

“Reservations are required. We are asking people to buy tickets in advance so we can assign seats to meet social distancing protocols and state guidelines. No tickets will be sold at the door,” said Hakvaag.

Tickets are $14 for adults and $6 for youth, 18 and under. Also available are FlexPasses for $60. For more information, to purchase a flex pass or to reserve and prepay, call 570-724-2079 with credit card information or prepay online at hgp.booktix.com.
