Roderick G. “Rod” KINLEY, 91, of Coudersport, PA
Roderick G. “Rod” KINLEY, of Coudersport, PA, died peacefully on Thursday, December 14, 2023, with his loving and devoted wife of more than 70 years, Faye, by his side. Recently, Rod had expressed that when the time comes, “I wish only that it just be myself alone with my darling Faye.”
At 91 years of age, Rod frequently pointed out with pride that, “I am the oldest any one of my family has ever made it to.” Born November 13, 1932, in York, as the eldest child to Edgar C. and Mildred E. Tracey Kinley. Rod was joined a few years later by a brother, Terry Kinley, followed by a sister, Prudence Kinley Ruth.

Write-in campaign for Potter County commissioner means Republicans will hold all three seats
WPSU | By Anne Danahy
In general, the boards of county commissioners in Pennsylvania are bipartisan — they typically have at least one Republican and one Democrat. But in Potter County, a successful write-in campaign this year means Republicans will hold all three seats.
Robert Rossman lost his bid for county commissioner in the 2023 Republican primary — by 11 votes.
But as Rossman notes, the county leans very Republican.
“Looking back at previous elections, the numbers were there to accomplish this,” he said.
So, Rossman waged a write-in campaign in the November General Election — and won. While the campaign and outcome may be unusual, it is not unheard of.

PERMITS REMAIN FOR NEW CWD DMAP UNIT
Deer hunting isn’t over yet; the after-Christmas seasons await.
And in the newly created Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) unit spanning more than 140,000 acres in Dauphin, Northumberland and Schuylkill counties, hunters have even more time and additional opportunities.
You could be one of them.
Each hunter can purchase up to two permits to hunt in DMAP Unit 6396, and more than 3,500 permits remained available this week.
Within this unit, the Pennsylvania Game Commission has extended the late archery and flintlock muzzleloader deer seasons and will hold an extended firearms season for antlerless deer, as well.
These after-Christmas seasons all will run from Dec. 26, 2023 to Jan. 27, 2024 within DMAP Unit 6396, as well as in Wildlife Management Units 2B, 5C and 5D. In the rest of the state – including the areas of Wildlife Management Units 4C and 4E outside of DMAP Unit 6396 – there is no extended firearms deer season, and the late archery and flintlock deer seasons run from Dec. 26, 2023 to Jan. 15, 2024.
