On Saturday, October 26th, 2024, Coudersport Rotary Club hosted its annual Halloween Parade – a tradition that has been ongoing for over 90 years! As always, the costumes were adorable, scary, and very, very original! Led by the Coudersport High School Marching Band, children and families walked from 3rd Street by the Courthouse Square and finished at the Gunzburger building to receive prizes and candy bars. Thank you to all the participants as well as the Coudersport Police and Fire Departments for making the Parade a success!

Boys and their toys!!!
Kevin and Patty Dusenbury and “The Boys” of the Virgil L. Howard Funeral Home, Shinglehouse, announce that the Gift of Memory Program, which benefits Potter County’s Christmas House, is now underway for the 24th year!! Through Dusenbury’s business, local residents can contribute presents in memory of their deceased loved ones to the Christmas House, which distributes gifts to over 1,200 Potter County children and elderly during the holidays. In the past 23 years, gifts too numerous to count were collected at the funeral home and presented to the Christmas House for distribution to needy families. Those wishing to make donations of new, unwrapped toys or gifts can call Dusenbury at 814-697-6570.
We are starting our program early to be able to have distribution to the recipients as early as possible. Donations will be collected until Friday, December 6, 2024.

Penn College wrestlers feature ‘grit, toughness, funk’
With a roster that returns three top-eight regional finishers from last season’s squad and a NCAA Division III national qualifier from two seasons ago, first-year coach Pennsylvania College of Technology wrestling head coach Dalton Rohrbaugh has plenty of reason for optimism.
“Overall, I am extremely excited for this team to compete. I think we will turn heads and show we can compete with the best of the best,” Rohrbaugh said. “We have some great wrestlers, no doubt, but we will also win matches we ‘aren’t supposed to’ on paper because of the grit, toughness and conditioning we will bring to competition.
“These guys are doing things the right way on and off the mat and not complaining about a single thing, picking each other up when it gets tough and being the true definition of a team. Staying healthy will be a key point, but if we can do that, then the sky is the limit.”
The Wildcats open their season on Friday and Saturday at the Ithaca College Bombers Invitational, where they finished sixth in a 12-team field last season.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that is often found near talc, an ingredient in many cosmetic products. Asbestos, however, is a known carcinogen and its health risks are well-documented. If talc mining sites are not carefully chosen or if proper steps are not taken to adequately purify the talc ore, it may contain asbestos. The product was sent to distributors on or after January 18, 2024, by direct delivery in the following states: AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, DE, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MA, MD, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, NE, NJ, NM, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI and sold online on Amazon (Amazon.com).Both the 4875 and 4874 Baby Powder products are packaged in plastic bottles, 24 bottles to a case for the 14 oz. and 48 to a case for the 4 oz., with lot/batch numbers located on the bottom of the bottle and on each case (see images below). There have been no illnesses or adverse events reported to date. The recall was the result of a routine sampling program by the FDA, which revealed that the finished products contained asbestos. Upon further investigation, we have identified additional lots of products that may contain asbestos due to using the same bulk talc material. The company has ceased the distribution of the product as an investigation is proceeding to determine what caused the contamination of the talc.
Consumers who have purchased Dynacare Baby Powder (see products/lots below) should discontinue use immediately and return it for a full refund.
