Faye Dolores Kinley, nee Fahringer,91, of Coudersport
Faye Dolores KINLEY, nee Fahringer,91, of Coudersport, PA, died Tuesday, October 6, 2026, in her home.
Faye and Rod Kinley moved to a house built by Rod on a mountain in Hebron Township in 1980, where they lived until they passed.
Faye was the youngest of five children born to Daniel Fahringer and Ida Agnes Snyder Fahringer. Her older siblings, now deceased, include Violet Heiges, Alverta Donnan, Sybella Noel, and Benton Fahringer.
Faye was born at home on November 4, 1934, in a small house along Fahringer Drive in Hellam Township, Pennsylvania. She was the youngest of the siblings by 15 years and grew up with nieces and nephews quite close to her age. She attended the Druck Valley church and school and graduated in 1952 from Hellam High School. She had many good memories of walking miles to her one room schoolhouse for eight grades. Her best friend, Shirley Becker Kinley and Faye married two Kinley brothers, so were good friends and in-laws until their passing.
In June 1952, Faye married the older brother, Roderick G. Kinley, who predeceased her on December 14, 2023. They were married over 71 years.
Faye played the piano from a young age until she died. She often played for churches and nursing homes. She liked to read, especially stories to children. She especially loved babies and preschoolers.
Faye was a good cook who cooked from scratch. Her pie crusts were great! She could often be found in her kitchen, preparing, cooking, serving, and cleaning up. She also liked her ice cream—a Fahringer habit for many decades–and graham crackers!
These past years, she was able to spend time on the large, shaded porch that faced west and south of her home on a rural mountain top. From there, she often saw bear and their cubs, deer and fawns, foxes and their kits, raccoons, porcupines, turkeys, coyotes, and once a bobcat.
Faye was known for her unfailing kindness, generosity, and hospitality not only to her family and extended family, but also to neighbors.
Faye had five children: Rebecca Kinley Fraker (Steve), Roderick G. Kinley, Jr., David C Kinley (Sherri), Todd W. Kinley (Sarah), and Jack E. Kinley (Renee). She was the loving grandmother of 13 grandchildren, eight great- grandchildren, and a great-great grandchild. She lived long enough to pose in a fiv-generation picture. Her descendants are scattered from Potter County PA to Florida, Michigan, Alabama, and Tennessee.
She was a longtime member of the Coudersport Seventh-day Adventist church.
A memorial service will be scheduled for early next summer.
The Kinley family thanks all of those who helped in Faye’s final weeks.
Arrangements are under the direction of Olney-Foust Funeral Homes & Crematory, Ulysses, PA. Online condolences may be expressed at www.olneyfoust.com.

Causer to Serve on PA House Transportation Committee
HARRISBURG – State Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter) has been appointed to serve as a member of the state House Transportation Committee for the remainder of the 2025-26 legislative session.
“The rural perspective is sorely needed in conversations about roads and bridges and our Commonwealth’s overall plan to shore up our transportation infrastructure,” Causer said. “I appreciate the opportunity to serve on this key committee and hope to direct more investment to rural communities like the ones I represent.”
The House Transportation Committee deals with policies impacting roads and bridges, as well as mass transit, rail issues, bicycles/motorcycles, airports and more.
The Commonwealth has more than 120,000 linear miles of highways and more than 25,400 state-owned bridges, which is the third-highest number of bridges in the country, all negatively impacted by wear and tear, as well as wide fluctuations in seasonal temperatures.
In addition to his new role on the Transportation Committee, Causer will continue to serve as chairman of the House Energy Committee.
Pheasant Season Nears Liftoff
HARRISBURG– Break out the brush pants, your favorite shotgun and, of course, a fluorescent orange hat and vest. Pennsylvania’s pheasant season is winging its way closer.
Saturday, Oct. 10 marks the start of the junior pheasant season, and the statewide season follows close behind, opening on Saturday, Oct. 24.
Pennsylvania’s pheasant hunters this year will enjoy expanded hunting dates, with all 21 Sundays falling within the season now open (up from 6 open Sundays during the 2025-26 season). In addition, pheasant hunting will remain open during the overlap with the statewide firearms deer season, providing an additional 2 weeks of opportunity.
All told, the Game Commission plans to stock approximately 232,000 birds incrementally through early January, with most releases occurring on public land.

BRADFORD MAN JAILED FOLLOWING MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL ARSON AND THEFT INVESTIGATION
BRADFORD, PA – The City of Bradford Police Department announces the arrest of Christopher James Colts following an extensive investigation into a series of fires, thefts, and related criminal activity occurring during the overnight hours of October 3–4, 2026, in the City of Bradford and on property associated with the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.
Colts has been charged with multiple offenses, including Arson – Danger of Death or Bodily Injury, Arson – Reckless Placing of Another Person in Danger, Arson – Reckless Placing an Inhabited Building or Occupied Structure in Danger of Damage or Destruction, Arson – Reckless Placing of Property in Danger of Damage or Destruction, Risking Catastrophe, Recklessly Endangering Another Person, Access Device Fraud, Identity Theft, and Theft by Unlawful Taking.
According to the criminal complaint, the investigation began after Bradford City Police and City of Bradford Fire Department personnel responded at approximately 2:13 a.m. on October 4, 2026, to Moonan’s Car Wash, 223 North Onofrio Street, for a structure fire involving a shed adjacent to residential properties.
Investigators allege that the fire was intentionally set and that the resulting fire placed nearby residences and occupants at risk. The criminal complaint alleges that an occupant of a neighboring residence was asleep at the time of the fire. The investigation further alleges that the fire spread beyond the original structure and damaged additional property.
During the same general time period, investigators identified additional suspicious fire-related activity at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford Sports Complex, including damage in the area of the softball field and loss of a tractor. Because portions of the investigation occurred on University property, the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford Police Department participated in the investigation and co-signed the criminal charges filed in this case.
The investigation expanded significantly as officers began reviewing surveillance video from multiple locations, conducting interviews, examining physical evidence, and reconstructing Colts’ alleged movements during the overnight hours.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, surveillance evidence allegedly showed an individual in the vicinity of Moonan’s Car Wash shortly before the fire and subsequently in other areas connected to the investigation. Investigators also reviewed surveillance footage from the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford and other locations while working to establish a timeline of events.
The investigation further revealed that several vehicles in the area had allegedly been entered and property stolen. Investigators allege that stolen credit and debit cards were subsequently used or attempted to be used at several businesses and financial institutions. Additional property was also allegedly stolen from the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford Sports Complex.
Through the review of surveillance footage, witness interviews, physical evidence, financial transaction information, and other investigative methods, officers developed evidence identifying Colts as the alleged individual involved.
At the time of these incidents, Colts was homeless, which added additional challenges to determining his location and reconstructing his movements during the period under investigation.
The City of Bradford Police Department considers the alleged conduct in this case particularly serious because of the danger intentionally set fires can present not only to property, but to sleeping residents, responding firefighters, police officers, and the community as a whole.
This investigation required officers to connect numerous events occurring at different locations and involving different victims over a relatively short period of time. What initially presented as separate incidents developed into what investigators believe was a connected series of criminal acts involving fires, thefts, stolen financial information, and property damage.
The investigation remains active and ongoing.
Bradford Police are currently reviewing other fires and suspicious incidents occurring during the same general time period to determine whether they may be connected to Colts. No determination has yet been made regarding his involvement in those additional incidents, and additional charges may be filed if supported by the evidence developed during the continuing investigation.
Colts was taken into custody and is currently being held in the McKean County Jail in connection with the charges filed in this investigation. Magistrate David Engman arraigned Colts and remanded him to jail on 1 million dollars bail. Preliminary hearings are set in those matters.
The City of Bradford Police Department would like to recognize the substantial amount of investigative work performed by the officers involved in this case. Officers worked through numerous crime scenes, surveillance recordings, interviews, financial transactions, evidence, and investigative leads to establish a timeline and connect incidents that initially appeared to be separate events.
“The alleged conduct in this case represented a serious threat to our community. Setting fires near occupied residences creates an obvious potential for catastrophic consequences, and our officers understood the importance of identifying the person responsible as quickly as possible. This investigation required our officers to piece together a large amount of information from multiple locations and multiple incidents. I am extremely appreciative of the persistence and hard work of the City of Bradford officers who worked this case and continued following the evidence until these incidents could be connected.”
The City of Bradford Police Department also extends its appreciation to the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford Campus Police Department, whose officers worked jointly with Bradford Police on the portion of the investigation occurring on University property and co-signed the charges in this case.
The Department additionally thanks the Pennsylvania State Police Fire Investigation Unit and Bradford Township Police Department for their assistance during the investigation.
The City of Bradford Fire Department and Bradford Township Fire Department are also recognized for their response, fire suppression efforts, and assistance associated with the fire investigations. The work of responding firefighters was critical to protecting surrounding property and residents and preserving the scenes for subsequent investigation.
POLICE SEEK ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND VIDEO
Because this investigation remains ongoing, Bradford Police are asking residents and businesses to review any available exterior surveillance, doorbell-camera, or security video from the overnight hours of October 3 into October 4, 2026.
Police are particularly interested in video or information showing Christopher Colts wearing a yellow-and-black jacket and walking or lingering around residences, vehicles, businesses, or other property during that time period.
Anyone who observed Colts, had property entered or disturbed, experienced suspicious activity, or possesses surveillance video that may assist investigators is asked to contact the City of Bradford Police Department at 814-887-4911.
Even information that may initially appear insignificant could assist investigators in establishing Colts’ movements and determining whether additional incidents are connected to this investigation.
This remains an active investigation. Additional charges may be filed as warranted by the evidence.
All criminal charges are allegations. Christopher James Colts is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

Nova Biomedical® Announces Global Medical Device Correction for StatStrip® Glucose Hospital Meter
WALTHAM, Mass., October 5, 2026 – Nova Biomedical initiated a global Medical Device Correction on July 24, 2026, for the StatStrip® Glucose Hospital Meter System due to a software issue that may cause a glucose result to be associated with the wrong patient. When a patient ID barcode is scanned, prior patient information may remain on the meter screen, which, if accepted, will lead to glucose result being assigned to the wrong patient’s medical record. If not recognized, healthcare providers may make clinical decisions based on another patient’s glucose result, potentially leading to delayed treatment, unnecessary treatment (including inappropriate insulin administration), and/or failure to treat the intended patient. The severity of harm depends on the patient’s actual glucose status and clinical condition.
This issue only applies to the most recent model of the StatStrip Glucose Hospital Meter System, commonly referred to as the “Gen 2.0” model. This issue does not affect previously released models of the StatStrip Glucose Hospital Meter system, commonly referred to as the “Gen 1.0”, “Gen 1.75”,” “Gen 1.86”, or “Gen 1.87” StatStrip Glucose Hospital Meter systems.
On July 17, 2026, prior to the recall initiation, Nova Biomedical received one (1) report of an adverse event (AE) in the U.S. (none outside of the U.S.) associated with this issue. This AE involved inappropriate insulin administration to a patient based on a different patient’s glucose results. No serious adverse events related to this issue have been reported.
