Christmas House Seeking Families To Help With Christmas
Volunteers at Christmas House are already at work to help Potter County families celebrate the Christmas season by providing gifts to children in need. Christmas House has a long tradition of helping those in need throughout the county. By December 24, volunteers will have packaged and distributed gifts to hundreds of families.
“Our letters have gone out to school nurses, caseworkers, clergy and others who have provided us with the names of Potter County individuals and families in need in past years,” says Dawn Newton who coordinates the effort. Individuals are also welcome to submit their names by calling Christmas House at (814) 274) 0825 and leaving a detailed message with contact information or by stopping in our headquarters between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday. (You will be required to wear a face covering when entering our building).
“We must adhere to our strict deadline of November 5 as the last date to register but want to make every effort to register families for the program so if you know of a family who might benefit, please let them know about our efforts,” Newton says.
Christmas House is also in need of toys and other gifts that would be welcomed by children and teenagers. Especially needed are gifts for teens of both genders and toys for boys from ages 3 to 12. “We know funds are tight for many people this season, but we also know the generous hearts of our community. We thank you in advance for your support in keeping a Christmas tradition alive in these trying times,” says Newton.
Christmas House is located in the basement of the Presbyterian Church at 402 N. Main Street in Coudersport. Mailing address is PO Box 716, Coudersport, PA 16915.
DEP Tours Kettle Creek Stream Restoration Project, Highlights Countywide Action Plan Progress
Leidy Township, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) visited a stream restoration project today at the Lucky 7 Hunting Club property on Kettle Creek to view the recently completed work and discuss how it will improve water quality in this Exceptional Value stream as part of Clinton County’s Countywide Action Plan for the Chesapeake Bay.
The project was designed to reduce erosion that threatens property, decrease pollution, and improve aquatic and riparian habitats. Project partners include the Clinton County Conservation District, Kettle Creek Watershed Association, Native Creations, Lucky 7 Hunting Club, and the Kettle Creek/Tamarack Sportsmans Club.
“This project restored more than 400 feet of eroding streambank in the Kettle Creek Watershed,” said Toby Boyer, watershed specialist with the Clinton County Conservation District, who led the tour. “An estimated 17 tons of sediment per year will be reduced, and this section of stream will provide much needed habitat for trout and other aquatic species.”
The stream channel has been unstable for decades after it was partially relocated into an area lacking bedrock during utility construction in the 1950s. An estimated 20-30 feet of streambank has been eroded in the past two decades, threatening the hunting club property. A 2017 bank pin study determined the streambank was being lost at a rate of approximately two feet per year.
“The design techniques utilized in this project have been incredibly successful at restoring eroding and degraded streams across our region over the past decade,” said DEP Acting Regional Director for the Northcentral Regional Office Jared Dressler. “DEP remains committed to helping our county and non-profit partners accelerate their efforts to tackle local stream issues and contribute toward the overall restoration of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.”
The project design used mudsill structures, root ball deflectors, bank regrading, and native plantings to stabilize the reconstructed channel, slow water velocity, and allow floodplain access. Invasive shrubs were also removed and approximately 350 trees covering more than an acre were planted as part of the project.
“‘The Kettle’ has played a significant role in my life,” said Board Chairman of the Kettle Creek Watershed Association Jim Toth. “Following my return from Vietnam, this is the place I came to get away. This watershed has given my family and me so much, and projects like this are a way that the Kettle Creek Watershed Association can help to give back to this place and all of the people who come here to enjoy it.”
“This project is an example of how the power of partnerships and collaboration can benefit our natural resources,” said District Manager for the Clinton County Conservation District Wade Jodun. “The joint effort of various agencies, nonprofits, sportsman’s clubs, and volunteers will now benefit the watershed for generations.”
In addition to the project partners listed above, funding was provided by the Pennsylvania Coldwater Heritage Partnership, which is a collaborative effort between DEP, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission (PFBC), the Pennsylvania Council of Trout Unlimited, and the Foundation for Pennsylvania Watersheds; and by DCNR through the Community Conservation Partnerships Program.
The Clinton County Conservation District, DEP, and PFBC also assisted in the planning and permitting phases of the project.
UPMC Pediatrician: Staying Healthy During Halloween
Mary Ann Rigas, M.D.
Pediatrics, UPMC
Every year, children look forward to Halloween. They get to dress up as their favorite character, collect loads of candy, and might even be allowed to stay up past bedtime. It’s a fun occasion; however, there are some things parents should keep in mind to help their child stay safe while celebrating.
Sweets and Treats
Eating sweets or candy in excess could upset your child’s stomach. Eating a healthy meal before venturing out for trick-or-treating can help them avoid overindulging in snacks as they walk about and give them enough energy to enjoy the fun.
It is advised for parents to check everything their kids bring home from trick-or-treating, so encourage your children to wait until after they’re home to enjoy any snacks they get. Look out for signs of candy that has been tampered with. This could include unusual coloration or wrapping, small tears or pinholes in wrappers, and goods that are not wrapped at all. If you have any doubts, throw it out. Do not keep homemade treats unless you know and trust the family that gave them to your children.
Young trick-or-treaters should avoid gum, hard candies, and other potential choking hazards. Familiarize yourself with the Heimlich maneuver just in case. Also, if you have any concerns about tainted candy, the Poison Control Center is available 24 hours every day and can be reached at 800-222-1222.
Be Careful with Costumes
Wearing clothes or costumes that your child is not used to can be a bit awkward and create challenges with their movement. Test fit their outfit so that they can get accustomed to it and if needed, you can alter it to make it safer and easier to wear. In addition to test-fitting your clothing and costumes, be sure to consider your child’s footwear. More than likely, they will be walking from house to house, so make sure their shoes fit them appropriately which will help avoid trips and falls. If they get new shoes as part of their costume, break them in to prevent painful blisters. If you are extra worried about falls while out and about, accessories that could cause harm like swords or canes should not be included with this year’s costume.
Safety in the Neighborhood
Sunset occurs earlier during the fall and many community outings may occur after dark. Having a bright-colored costume or adding light reflectors not only helps you keep an eye on your children, but helps drivers also see them. Having a flashlight or headlamp is also a good idea.
During Halloween festivities, kids can get carried away with all the fun they’re having. It’s important that adults are with trick-or-treaters to supervise them and make sure that they stay safe. Only approach houses that are well-lit and remind your children not to enter any strangers’ homes or cars.
Alternatives to Trick-or-Treating
If you’re not comfortable with trick-or-treating, there are several other fun things to do to celebrate Halloween. If you opt to stay in, have a few Halloween movies picked out to watch or read books or play games while enjoying treats at home. Pick up a few pumpkins to carve and walk or drive to enjoy other homes’ jack-o-lanterns and decorations.

REMINDER TO HUNTERS ABOUT DEER SEASON “KICKOFF” ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30, AT UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH-BRADFORD
Bradford, Pa.: Want to listen to hunters that have invested a lifetime in bettering habitat for white-tailed deer? Then the Kinzua Quality Deer Cooperative (KQDC) has a series of presentations for you at their Deer Season Kick-Off on Sunday, October 30, at University of Pittsburgh-Bradford campus. All events for the Kickoff will take place in the Frame-Westerberg Commons Mukaiyama University Room.

Coudersport Rotary Club Donates To Eradicate Polio
Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever.
Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.
The average cost to fully protect a child against polio is $3. Coudersport Rotary Club donated $120 towards the fight against polio on Rotary World Polio Day, October 24th, and helped towards protecting up to 40 children against polio.

FALL TURKEY SEASON APPROACHES
The excitement of turkey hunting doesn’t have to wait for spring.
Pennsylvania’s fall turkey season, an annual opportunity to pursue the state’s only big-game bird among the changing colors of the autumn woods, kicks off Saturday, Oct. 29 in 19 of Pennsylvania’s 23 Wildlife Management Units (WMUs.)
The fall season is closed in WMUs 5A, 5C and 5D. For the remaining WMUs the season lengths are as follows: WMUs 1A, 1B, 4A, 4B, 4D and 4E –Oct. 29-Nov. 5; WMU 2B –Oct. 29-Nov. 18 and Nov. 23-25; WMUs 2A, 2F, 2G, 2H, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D and 4C –Oct. 29-Nov. 12; WMU 2C, 2D & 2E –Oct. 29-Nov. 12 and Nov. 23-25; and WMU 5B – Nov. 1-3. Hunters are advised the three-day Thanksgiving season again will run Wednesday, Thursday and Friday where held.
As a reminder, no single-projectile firearms may be used in the fall turkey seasons. Hunters may use shotguns and archery gear only.
While fall turkey hunters no longer are required to wear fluorescent orange, the Game Commission highly recommends the use of orange, especially while moving.
Season outlook
During the fall season, any turkey – male or female – can be harvested. Female turkeys make up about 60% of the fall harvest.
When turkey populations are below-goal in a given WMU, the fall season length is reduced there to allow more female turkeys to survive to their spring nesting season.
Turkey populations in many WMUs were measured below the management goal. Therefore, in 2021, season length in 15 of the 21 WMUs was shortened, or closed, and the use of single-projectile rifles and handguns was eliminated. The 2021 statewide fall harvest (6,800 turkeys) was 20% lower than 2020. Statewide fall hunter participation (81,500 hunters) was 19% less than 2020.
But things are looking up.
Turkey reproduction in 2021 and 2022 was above average across many WMUs.
“This typically results in larger fall flocks,” said Game Commission wild turkey biologist Mary Jo Casalena.
And there’s plenty of spots where hunters can put themselves in good position to take a bird.
“Expect to find turkey brood flocks concentrated on available food sources, such as areas with acorn production or agricultural areas,” Casalena said.
Casalena also encourages hunters to cover a lot of ground to find available food sources. When abundant food is found, determining turkey movement patterns around that food will improve hunter success.
Hunters during fall turkey season share the woods with hunters participating in many other hunting seasons. But fall turkey hunting has proven remarkably safe. 2021 marked the fifth year since 2012 with no hunting related shooting incidents while fall turkey hunting. The other years with no incidents were 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2019.
Harvests and reporting
Everyone who purchases a hunting license receives one fall turkey tag
Successful fall turkey hunters must tag their birds according to instructions provided on the printed harvest tags supplied with their licenses, then report harvests.
Mentored hunters under the age of 7 may receive, by transfer, a fall turkey tag supplied by their mentor.
The turkey must be tagged immediately after harvest and before the turkey is moved, and the tag must be securely attached to a leg until the bird is prepared for consumption or mounting.
Within 10 days of harvest, turkey hunters must report harvests to the Game Commission, either by going online to the Game Commission’s website, www.pgc.pa.gov, calling toll-free or mailing in a prepaid postcard.
Hunters reporting their turkey harvests over the telephone can call 1-800-838-4431 and follow the prompts. Hunters will need to have their license and their copy of the harvest tag in front of them when they make the call. Hunters should record the supplied confirmation number for the turkey reported.
All hunters reporting harvests are asked to identify the WMU, county and township where the bird was taken.
Additionally, hunters may harvest a turkey that has been leg-banded for research purposes, and if so, they should follow the instructions on the band. The Game Commission leg-banded more than 800 turkeys last winter in a continuing effort to track turkey populations.
Pennsylvania recently saw a wild turkey test positive for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). While turkeys are highly susceptible to the influenza virus, their behavior and habitat use place them at less risk of contracting the disease compared to waterfowl, shorebirds, raptors and avian scavengers.
“This isn’t a concern in terms of affecting the entire turkey population,” said Game Commission Wildlife Management Bureau Director Matthew Schnupp, “but occurrence will be impossible to predict.”
Turkey hunters, and others hunting birds, should take HPAI precautions when handling harvests. In doing so, they not only protect themselves, but help reduce the risk of this extremely contagious disease spreading to other birds.
Bird hunters should:
· Harvest only healthy-looking wild birds.
· Wear gloves when handling any wild birds.
· Wash hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer immediately after handling wild birds.
· Dress harvested wild birds in the field.
· Change clothing as needed, especially if visibly soiled or if any wild birds came in contact with clothing.
· Change clothing, including footwear, before coming in contact with any pet birds or domestic poultry.
· Wash all equipment, tools, and work surfaces with soap and water, then disinfect with a 10% household bleach solution. Allow to air dry or rinse after 10 minutes of contact time.
HPAI can infect humans, though just one human HPAI case has been reported in the United States during this outbreak.
Any sick or dead domestic birds should be reported to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture at 717-772-2852. Sick or dead wild birds should be reported to the Game Commission at 1-833-PGC-WILD or online using the Wildlife Health Survey tool at www.pgcapps.pa.gov/WHS.
