Kelly Sue Shaffer Kirkwood, of Tiona, PA
Kelly Sue Shaffer Kirkwood, of Tiona, PA, passed on Monday, May 8, 2023.
She was born April 12, 1959, in Warren, PA. She was the daughter of Hartwell and Judy Minor Shaffer.
Kelly has resided the past 10 years in Tiona, PA., living in her childhood home. Kelly had a wonderful sense of humor and a biting wit. She loved to entertain family and friends.
Her cousin, Reg Darling, penned these words, “The world lost a wild, beautiful, and sometimes strangely wise spirit, yesterday. When Kelly was younger, spending an evening with her was like running away with the circus. Later in the gentle embrace of her marriage to Rick, her wildness remained keenly alive, but manifested itself in kindness and deep appreciation of life’s most basic pleasures. She will be missed, and she will always be with us.”
She is survived by her husband, Richard Kirkwood, her mother, Judy Shaffer, her stepson, Christian Kirkwood, her brother, Jon Shaffer and his wife, Dawn, her sister, Jennifer Hackley and her husband, Jack, several nieces, and nephews who loved to sit and hear Aunt Kelly’s stories.
Kelly was preceded in death by her father, Hartwell Howard Shaffer, stepdaughter, Erin C. Ferry.
A Celebration of Kelly’s life will be held at Tiona United Methodist Church, 111 Six Mile Road, Tiona, PA., on Saturday, May 13, 2023, at 2:00 P.M.

The event took place as law enforcement statewide conduct a pedestrian enforcement wave where officers are on the lookout for drivers who fail to yield for pedestrians, or pedestrians that fail to obey traffic signs and signals.
“Pedestrian fatalities rose to their second highest number in two decades in 2022,” said DuBois City Police Corporal Orlando Prosper. “Many of those fatalities might have been prevented if everyone understood their responsibilities as a driver and as a pedestrian while sharing the road. Our goal is to increase that level of understanding and keep all our road users safe.”

Senator Cris Dush Visits Morgan Advanced Materials Facility in Coudersport
Senator Cris Dush
On May 4, I had the opportunity to spend the day visiting both Potter and McKean counties.
My first stop was a tour of Morgan Advanced Materials (AMT) in Coudersport which featured an informative PowerPoint presentation on the company’s unique history and present-day facility locations.
Originally established as Pure Carbon in 1959, Morgan AMT currently has facilities operating in Saint Mary’s, Pennsylvania, Dunn, North Carolina and Atlacomulco, Mexico.
With more than 500 employees, Morgan AMT offers very competitive wages, such as a starting salary of $22.17 per hour at the Saint Mary’s plant after a probationary period is completed.
Our tour of the Coudersport facility continued with several impressive demonstrations from electrical discharge machining, pressure less sintering, and the use of two different carbons to make products lighter.
We also observed the process of producing armor products, including a side ceramic bullet proof vest. Other impressive demonstrations included a 1,380 ton press, an armored truck and trailer for product delivery, and the engineering of robots to move parts from molding turntables to the CNC lathe.
It was truly our pleasure to see such innovation and technology right here in God’s Country. These life-saving products are not just amazing in how they are made, but the purposes they are being made for.
We are extremally proud to have Morgan AMT operating in the 25th District as a significant contributor to our local economy.
Emrick Receives Community Service Recognition
Linda Clayson, Scott Burt, Cindy Potter, Jack Emrick, Donna Emrick, Deb Root, Dwight Fanton, Adam Cyr
Long-time business-leader and volunteer Jack Emrick was recognized this week by the Allegany County Board of Legislators for his contributions to the community.
Emrick was joined by his wife Donna, brother Bill Emrick, and District III legislators Adam Cyr (Bolivar), Dwight Fanton (Willing), and Debra Root (Scio), and presented with Board Resolution 161-23, which detailed his numerous efforts and accomplishments in both Steuben and Allegany counties.
He is committed to the goals of the YMCA of the Southern Tier, and currently serves on its Association Executive Committee, as Director of the Association Board, and is Chair of the Wellsville YMCA Advisory Committee. Emrick also serves on the UR Jones Memorial Hospital Campaign Executive Committee, which leads fundraising efforts for the hospital’s renovation and expansion project.
He has been a long and active member of both the Scio Methodist Church and the KonXions Methodist Church, with duties including Chair of the Administrative Council, auditing, and as a member of the Finance Committees. When called upon, he serves as substitute pastor.
His prominence in the local business community has led to membership and leadership posts in the Hornell Chamber of Commerce, Hornell Area United Businesses, Hornell Rotary Club, and the Arkport Exchange Club. In Scio, he committed himself to work on the Fairlawn Cemetery Board, Library Board, and as a t-ball and little league coach.
Emrick thanked his wife Donna for her support over their 40 years of marriage, and left those in attendance with a parting thought. “Have you ever impacted someone’s life so much that 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 years after you’re gone, they will love you as much then, if not more, than the day you died? If you have, then I think you’ve achieved the ultimate accomplishment life can offer.”
“I just hope that with the life I’ve led, and from my involvement in these clubs and organizations, that somewhere, someday, somebody will remember me and say ‘He made a difference in my life.’”

ELECT KEVIN M. SISKA FOR POTTER COUNTY SHERIFF
My name is Kevin Siska and I am a Republican candidate for Potter County Sheriff. I have been in various facets of law enforcement for 28 years. I worked in a maximum security, state prison in Alaska. Later, while employed by the Juneau Police Dept. in Juneau, AK, I held positions as a Sergeant in Patrol, Investigations, and Administration. I served as a supervisor in Patrol and Investigations.
I am currently a Deputy with the Potter County Sheriff’s Department and have been employed in that capacity for seven years.
I am the only candidate with law enforcement experience. Along with that experience, I have the knowledge and training to make the transition to Sheriff seamless. While working for the Juneau Police Department we took great pride in working well with other agencies and being responsive to the area residents. I was taught to treat people fairly and with respect. I have always lived by those standards and will continue to do so as your sheriff.
I am currently a Certified Deputy with the Pennsylvania Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff Education and Training Board. From the time I am sworn in as Sheriff, I will be able to not only tend to the administrative duties of the Sheriff but be able to assist with all the other duties handled by the deputies. When in a department that has only four full time sworn positions at full staffing levels, being able to assist with daily duties is beneficial. Currently the Department is operating with only 2 full time and 1 part time positions filled. It then becomes a necessity not a luxury for the Sheriff to be able to assist with daily tasks.
If elected, I look forward to continuing my service to the residents of Potter County as the new Sheriff. I have the necessary qualifications and experience to perform all the duties of Sheriff immediately upon taking office. It will be my privilege and honor to continue to serve the people of Potter County as the new Sheriff.
Please remember to vote for Kevin M. Siska on May 16th. As a Republican candidate, I am asking those who are Democrats and do not have a Democratic candidate on the ballot to please examine my qualifications and write me in on the Democratic Ballot. Thank you for all your continuing support. Remember to vote on Tuesday, May 16th!

Vote Ashley Gledhill For Prothonotary/Clerk of Courts
Endorsed by Kathy S. Schroeder, Prothonotary/Clerk of Courts Experience Matters
Thank you to all of those who signed my petition and have taken the time to speak with me, it means the absolute world to me. I will be listed as 2 on the ballot but hope to be number 1 in your hearts. It has been an honor and privilege to serve as your Deputy Prothonotary/Clerk of Courts over the past five years.
During my years of service, I have had the opportunity to be trained on the job by our current Prothonotary/Clerk of Courts, Kathy Schroeder. It takes years to learn the complex systems used in our office for civil, criminal and orphans’ court filings. I know the systems, duties and responsibilities of the Prothonotary/Clerk of Court inside and out.
I am very well versed in criminal and civil procedure, which is an absolute must for this position. I also have a heart for public service and a deep love for this community. The most important job we have is serving the public.
Over the years I have had the opportunity to get to know a lot of you personally and professionally. I want to continue to serve the citizens of Potter County, without any disruption in service. There will be no growing pains or learning curves, as I currently assist our Prothonotary/Clerk of Courts on a daily basis.
I am running on the Republican ticket, but I would welcome and encourage democratic write-in votes. I look forward to being your next Prothonotary/Clerk of Courts and would appreciate your support and vote in the upcoming primary election. Vote experience, honesty and dedication. Vote for Ashley Gledhill.

Vote Angela Milford For Potter County Sheriff
ELECT FOR POTTER COUNTY SHERIFF
My name is Angela Milford, and I am a Republican candidate running for the position of Potter County Sheriff. I was born and raised and have worked in this area my entire life. I have worked for Potter County government for approx. 29 years in the jail. I was a Corrections Officer and was moved up into management of Deputy Warden and now Warden for approx. 14 years of that. I work very closely with the Sheriff’s Department and am very familiar with their role. I am being endorsed by the current Sheriff, Glenn Drake. He has expressed to me his desire and intention, should I be elected, to stay on with the department in a part-time capacity, which will assist me in my transition into this new job. The role of Sheriff has many different aspects with much of it being administrative and delegating other functions to deputies. I do some parts of the administrative tasks already in assistance to their department such as coordinating transports, going on transport, taking care of extradition requirements and many other tasks. I am confident I will be able to jump into this position and take it on. I do understand and know there will be training that I need to attend and look forward to learning. I believe I am the best candidate for this position as I am motivated by a desire to help people. I am firm but I am also fair. I hope you will vote for me as your next Sheriff. I would appreciate my democratic friends to write me in also. Thank you.
