UPMC Expert: Minutes Matter in Stroke Emergencies
Cynthia K. Anderson, MSN, RN
Quality, UPMC
Every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a stroke, and unfortunately, every three and a half minutes someone dies of stroke. A victim can lose up to two million brain cells every minute during a stroke, but immediate care helps reduce the stroke’s impact and most importantly can save that person’s life.
BE FAST
If you think that you or a loved one is having a stroke, remember the acronym BE FAST.
- Balance—Does the person have a sudden loss of balance?
- Eyes—Has the person lost vision in one or both eyes?
- Face—Does the person’s face look uneven or appear to droop?
- Arms—Is one arm weak or numb?
- Speech—Is the person’s speech slurred? Does the person have trouble speaking or seem confused?
- Time—Call 911 NOW!

Vote Daniel Burnside For Potter County Sheriff
Hello, my name is Daniel Burnside. I am a Republican candidate for Sheriff in Potter County. I am asking for your vote on May 16th, 2023. I am a stone cutter, mason, framer, builder, arborist, tree farmer, and wood carver. I am not a liar, coward, or a saint.
In 2003 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for obvious political reasons deemed the sheriff departments not a arm of law enforcement, but only an arm of the court.
I promise to do everything in my power to ensure Potter County becomes, as it should, a 2nd amendment sanctuary county. With the obvious Marxist political agenda and its effects, not just nationally but locally as well I promise as a sheriff should to communicate knowledge of 2nd amendment infringements to all voters of potter county, through local veteran’s organizations, as well as gun clubs and militias.
A sheriff’s job is not to bend to the will of the Commonwealth or D.C. July 23rd, 1995, a drunk driver left his mark on my life, I received a medical separation from the US Navy before I ever got the chance to serve my country in that compacity. So, I’m asking for that chance now. Here in Potter County, we have 1700 veterans. I believe veterans are the face of God for a nation. I ask that all voters in Potter County vote for me.
Approaching 50 with a wonderful wife and 11 beautiful children, we love potter county and everything it has to offer. i am asking that you give me the opportunity to serve my community in this capacity. Change is good, your current government is correct about that. But it’s time to do away with business as usual in local government.
Vote Daniel Burnside for Potter County Sheriff, I’m first on the Republican ticket, and i ask that Democratic voters write me in for their Sheriff.

Vote Jack S. Keifer For Potter County Commissioner
Candidate for Potter County Commissioner
Jack S. Keifer is the Democratic candidate for a seat on the 2024-27 Potter County Board of Commissioners. He’s seeking a nomination in the May 16 Democratic Primary Election.
Keifer cites his qualifications as a military veteran, a small business owner, the county’s technology consultant for seven years, and as an active member of Coudersport Borough Council.
A U.S. Air Force veteran, he has operated multiple internet-based businesses, ranging from product creation to retail commerce during his 24 years as a resident of Potter County. He also served for 13 years as information technology director for the Coudersport Area School District.
“My approach has always been based on good planning, hard work and careful financial management,” Keifer said. “That is the same way I would approach my leadership role in county government. I am the only Democratic candidate who is familiar with our county government through first-hand experience, and I do see some areas for improvement.”
If elected, he would work to increase county efficiencies and transparency through more effective deployment of technology. He would also spearhead a comprehensive review of staffing and employee compensation, improve county communications, and pull together stakeholders from across the county to explore strategies for community and economic development.
“County commissioners have an impact on many people across the county,” Keifer said. “A commissioner should be proactive in communicating with the public and seeking input from the citizens.”
If elected, he would be actively engaged with the county’s Human Services Department.
“Thousands of people, especially the underprivileged and others in need, rely on Human Services,” Keifer said.
He would take a similar approach with the Department of Emergency Services.
“The county needs to be an active partner with our volunteer fire and ambulance services, communicating regularly with them and standing up for them in Harrisburg,” he added.
Also on his task list is hands-on support for the county’s Department of Veterans Affairs.
“As a veteran myself, I’m well aware of the challenges these men and women can face when they return home and find themselves caught in a maze of red tape when it comes to accessing the benefits and services they have earned.”
Economic development will also be a priority.
“We need to be marketing the best of what Potter County has to offer, which is our rural lifestyle and outdoor assets, to people who are looking to relocate,” Keifer noted. “With expansion of high-speed internet service, people can move here and still keep their jobs as telecommuters. I know that first hand.”
The candidate added that, through his service on Borough Council, he has gained a great understanding of conservative fiscal management, contract negotiations, personnel management, and engaging members of the public in the decision-making process.
Keifer chairs the borough’s Streets/Utilities committee, spearheading improvements such as the Ross Glen stormwater management that recently qualified for a state grant.
“I believe the county government can also do a better job of securing state and federal grants that can support our communities while keeping taxes down,” he said. “The current board of commissioners has been able to freeze the county taxes for five years and I would work hard to continue that trend but still not reduce needed services. You can do a lot with greater efficiency and better use of technology.”
Keifer added “By random drawing, I am in the number 3 spot on the ballot for commissioner. I ask and appreciate your vote on May 16th!”
