THURSDAY Update: Holidays Slow Testing, Vaccination Rates
Potter County Today
December 30th, 2021
Pennsylvania set a single-day record on Wednesday with 17,520 additional COVID-19 cases reported statewide, and 304 deaths, the highest such statewide total since last winter.
Meanwhile, the case count and death toll in Potter County has been trending downward in recent days. There were 16 more confirmed cases and no reported COVID-related fatalities between Friday, Dec. 24, and Thursday, Dec. 30.
Entering Thursday, there have been 2,574 total cases and 78 COVID-related deaths since the pandemic was declared.
Potter County’s “active” case count has fallen to 83. Those are residents who have tested positive for COVID-19 over the past two weeks and are considered highly contagious. For each case that is confirmed, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there are four or more undiagnosed cases in a given population.
Health care officials caution against reading too much into the recent statistics. Relatively few people have been tested over the past week due to the Christmas holiday. Additionally, Potter County’s “test positivity rate” is very high at 32 percent. It far exceeds the statewide (13.3 percent) and national (7.8 percent) figures. The rate represents the proportion of residents tested for the virus who are confirmed as infected.
The holiday season has also slowed the number of Potter County residents being vaccinated. Just under 44 percent (6,881 people) of those 5 and older have now received at least one dose.
UPMC Cole offers the vaccine to eligible patients at its outpatient offices. Buchanan Brothers Pharmacy in Coudersport administers the vaccine by appointment; call 814-274-8660. Rite Aid pharmacies continue to book appointments. To access the online reservation form, click here.

Think About It
This Next Year I’m …
by
Pastor B.J. Knefley
Each New Year has its resolutions of the things we intended to have different in the coming year. Perhaps we speak forth our desires of the things we wish to change, or the new things we want to try. Perhaps we have dreams that are yet unfulfilled, or we just want our life to be different somehow. We are tired of the same old stuff. The same issues and frustrations are constant reminders that our lives have not gone anywhere. Our future looks as bleak as our past has been, and although we would like things to be different this next year, we don’t really hold out any hope.
I know a family that has been through much this past year. Actually, they have been through much over the past several years. Facing yet another issue, one of the parents asked if anything good could come out of what they were dealing with. Seeing only the problem, and the need to walk through yet another “issue”, the future didn’t seem all that hopeful. It is in these times that we all might like to crawl back into bed and wake up on a different day. But life doesn’t work that way, and although we might wish things would go away, the only way they will, is when we jump in the midst of them. That is exactly what this family has done. Instead of having the events of their lives control them; they are taking an active approach in working through them.
As an outsider looking into the lives of many people, I am often able to observe things that they are not able to see. Take for example the family that I was referring to. I have watched this family grow stronger. The relationship of the couple has grown stronger through their trials. Where they once lacked the self-confidence, they now are willing to take to steps that a year ago they could not have. I have watched the whole family grow emotionally and spiritually. How are they doing this? They are practicing faith in a way that brings hope amid trials. Easy? No, but the outcome of their effort is making them stronger. Want life to change? Perhaps you’ll need to look past the trial and into the arena of faith that produces hope. Think about it.

Stephanie E. Krise, 59, of Portland Mills Road, Ridgway, PA.
Stephanie E. Krise, 59, of Portland Mills Road, Ridgway, died peacefully with her family by her side on Wednesday, December 29, 2021 following a battle with cancer.
She was born on April 15, 1962 in Ridgway, a daughter of Jack and Martha Walls Overbeck, who survive of Ridgway.
On January 17, 1987, she married Randolph “Randy” Krise, who survives of Ridgway.

With a true servant’s heart, Stephanie was a friend to everyone she met and never had a bad word to say about anyone. Always meticulous about her home, she could often be found caring for her lawn or sitting on the porch enjoying a can of beer.
She loved get-togethers with her mom, sisters, and friends, and always enjoyed a float down the river. Years ago, she also enjoyed playing volleyball with friends.
Most of all, Steph cherished her family and her grandchildren. She loved her family with her whole heart, always with an ear to listen and a sound word of advice for her kids. Her lap was always ready to hold one of her grandchildren, and she loved nothing more than having her grandkids visit or spend the night. Whether baking cookies with them or fishing in the pond, one of her greatest treasures in the world were her grandkids. With a kind heart, a gentle demeanor, and a contagious smile, Steph’s legacy will live on in the hearts of her family.
In addition to her parents, Jack and Martha Overbeck, and her husband, Randy Krise, she is survived by three children; Angela Cunningham and her husband Jessie of Kersey, Roy Krise and his wife Michelle of St. Marys, and Tiffany Gausman and her husband Kurt of Punxsutawney and her beloved grandchildren; Cole, Ava, Alex, Marcus, Vincent, Violet, Benjamin, Julia, Rosalie, and Clara. She is also survived by four siblings; Michelle Bogacki, Sonya (Jeff) Marzella, and Jacqueline (Tom) Kucenski, all of Ridgway, and Jack (Jamie) Overbeck of Brockway. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, including Heidi Steger and Ian Kucenski, who were special to her.
