Renovo Loans Ambulance to Coudersport
Coudersport Ambulance Association

Unfortunately, earlier this week our primary ambulance was involved in a hit and run and our backup ambulance ran into some mechanical issues. This left us with no ambulances of our own and thankfully neighboring ambulance services were able to cover our district. Earlier today, Renovo Ambulance agreed to help us out and brought us one of their ambulances to use while we have ours out of service. So, for the next few days you may see Renovo’s ambulance around as we use it to serve our community. We are incredibly thankful for Renovo’s support so that we can continue to deliver our mission.

UPMC Expert: The Role of Genetics in Breast Cancer Risk

By: Susan Branton, M.D.
UPMC Magee-Womens Breast Health Center
Genetic testing to discover ancestry is common practice and sometimes discovering your family history can reveal unexpected connections, new storylines, and a world of new relatives. But, there’s another benefit for some specific types of genetic testing. The genes you inherit can help doctors determine your cancer risk, including your risk for breast and ovarian cancer.
Everyone has a unique genetic code that is a combination of genes from their parents. Mutations or changes in certain genes can increase the likelihood that certain cells could become cancerous. Pancreas, thyroid, colon, bone, breast, ovarian, soft tissue, and melanoma are cancers that possibly can be linked with genetic mutations. Mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are specifically linked to breast and ovarian cancer. People with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry have a higher incidence of having the BRCA gene mutation. African American women who have a higher rate of estrogen-receptor negative breast cancer also have higher rates of the BRCA1, BRCA2, and another gene called PALB2 that is linked to breast cancer.
So where do you start? At age 18, women should begin talking to their family doctors about their breast and ovarian cancer risks. Important factors that could impact your risk include your age at menses, age at first childbirth, weight, lifestyle, and genetic or family history.

State Police Announce Quarterly Firearms Purchase Denial Investigations
Harrisburg, PA – Pennsylvania State Police today announced the number of firearms purchase denials and subsequent investigations for the third quarter of 2023.
The Pennsylvania Instant Check System (PICS) is used by county sheriffs, police chiefs of first-class cities, and licensed firearms dealers to determine an individual’s legal ability to acquire a license to carry firearms or obtain a firearm through a purchase or transfer. When an individual attempts to provide false information on a state and/or federal form, an investigation is initiated, and an investigation referral is sent to a law enforcement agency.
According to Pennsylvania law, a person commits a third-degree felony if they make a false oral or written statement on any federal or state agency form or willfully presents false identification that is likely to deceive the seller, licensed dealer, or licensed manufacturer. During the PICS process, some individuals are identified as having an active warrant for their arrest.
In the third quarter, the following investigations were initiated by the PSP Firearms Division and referred to PSP Troops, municipal police departments, or ATF for further investigation and possible prosecution.
Table 1: Third quarter PICS statistics (2022 and 2023)
| | 2022 | 2023 |
| PICS checks conducted | 285,980 | 242,090 |
| Persons denied | 4,437 | 3,539 |
