Gardner

RIDGWAY – Former
Ridgway Township supervisor and roadmaster
John Gardner, 64, was
sentenced to 12 months
of probation Monday following his guilty plea to
misdemeanor counts of
theft by deception and
tampering with public
records.
While Ridgway Township roadmaster in 2015,
Gardner
padded
the
timesheets of his wife
Rita, then a subordinate
working for the township, to the extent that
almost half of Rita’s reported and paid hours
were never worked.
An estimated $3,261
of township money was
used to pay Rita for hours
that were never worked.
The entire $3,261 will
be returned to the township by Elk County District Attorney Shawn T.
McMahon after Gardner
tendered the entire payment to the Elk County
District Attorney’s office
at his preliminary hearing in January.
McMahon said during Monday’s court proceedings that Gardner
was “extremely cooperative” with an investigation by the Pennsylvania
State Police, adding that
Gardner
“immediately
took full responsibility.”
McMahon, who crafted the plea deal offered
to Gardner, said the commonwealth’s
proposed
sentence was somewhat
insignificant, but still
held Gardner responsible
for his actions.
McMahon said Gardner’s reputation and
standing within the community took a significant
hit as a result of the incident, and for Gardner,
that may be more pro-

Mayor joins effort to recognize
impact of national service
St. Marys Mayor Bob Howard issued a proclamation at
Monday’s City Council meeting
designating today, April 5, as a
Recognition Day for National
Service.
Howard joined more than
2,800 county officials and mayors across the nation in recognizing the impact of national
service. Altogether, these elect-
ed officials represent more than
150 million citizens, or nearly
half of the population.
“National service is a vital
resource for our area,” Howard
said. “AmeriCorps members
and Senior Corps volunteers
make this a better place to live.
As mayor, I am grateful for the
dedication and sacrifice of these
citizens, who are helping make
our great region stronger, safer,
and healthier.”
Given the many social needs
facing communities, county and
city leaders are increasingly
turning to national service as a
cost-effective strategy to meet
local needs.
There are four active Amer-

Investigators with the Ridgway-based Pennsylvania State
Police continue to investigate
a string of incidents involving
counterfeit money being passed
at retailers in Fox Township.
“This isn’t a common thing
and a big reason is that it’s quite
difficult to counterfeit,” said
Trooper Bruce Morris, public information officer at the Ridgway
barracks. “A lot of times, even
regular civilians are used to currency to the point where they pick
it up and you can nearly sense
that the feel of it’s different. It
feels like it goes in cycles where
there will be a breakout here and
then down the line somewhere
else in the troop.
“I can’t think of a time within
recent memory where we’ve had
a cluster of these cases. It’s usually spaced out pretty few and far
between.”
The Ridgway-based State
Police last week released two reports regarding counterfeit money being used in Fox Township in
addition to an incident two weeks
ago as well.
According to police, the Fox

RIDGWAY – Two months
after being found guilty of a felony count of attempted criminal
homicide, two felony counts of
aggravated assault and a misdemeanor charge of recklessly
endangering another person,
Francis Anthony Milliard, 58,
was in the Elk County Court of
Common Pleas to discuss two
pending cases against him.
Milliard’s attorney, Jeffrey
DuBois of DuBois, has filed motions for a change of venue in two
cases that are pending in the Elk
County Court of Common Pleas
against Milliard.
The motions were made in
two cases from 2012: a prohibited
firearms possession case and an
arson case.
While no ruling was made
on the motion Monday, President Judge Richard A. Masson
speculated that a hearing could
be scheduled within the month
to address the motion to change
venues and to have Milliard’s
cases heard outside of Elk County.
Masson added that the hearing could align with Milliard’s
sentencing for the 2012 assault
of Todd Asti, which Milliard was
found guilty of after a four-day
trial in February.
To comply with court timelines, Milliard has to be sentenced by the end of the first week
of May to comply with a 90-day
window that opened when Milliard was found guilty on Feb. 5
of brutally assaulting Todd Asti.
Milliard remains incarcerated in the Jefferson County Prison
on a federal sentence.

Township vacancy
Staff Writer
Upon being charged and arBy Ted Lutz
Staff Writer
RIDGWAY – A date has been
set in Elk County Court for the
potential filling of a vacancy on
the Highland Township Board of
Supervisors.
Elk County Court President
Judge Richard A. Masson has set
the proceeding for Friday, April
22 at 9:30 a.m. at the main courtroom in the courthouse in Ridgway.
In a court order issued Thursday, Masson said the “proceeding” would “afford the numerous
applicants for the position the opportunity to present further information regarding their qualifications.”
The court order allots 30 minutes for the proceeding.
At least three township residents, all from James City, are
interested in filling the board
vacancy created by the Dec. 31
death of Paul Burton Sr.
The three known candidates
include:
Lloyd Hulings, who lost to
Mike Detsch in the Nov. 3 election for township supervisor.
“I believe I can work with the
other two supervisors (Detsch
and Jim Wolfe) to make important decisions in the best interest of the residents of Highland
Township,” Hulings said in a letter to the Board of Supervisors.
See Vacancy, Page 3
RIDGWAY – Almost 13 years
after failing to appear for jury selection, Jaroslav Dmitri Candler,
39, was in the Elk County Court
of Common Pleas on Monday to
address a 2002 assault in which
Candler’s gun was reportedly
fired at a Daguscahonda party,
striking and injuring a local man.
Candler, a dog breeder residing in Maryland, was arrested
Feb. 11 in Pittsburgh on a bench
warrant that was issued by President Judge Richard A. Masson
from Elk County in 2003.
Candler was initially accused
of striking one man causing a
head wound, and shooting another man in the chest with a .22
caliber handgun during a party in Daguscahonda in August
rested, bail for Candler was set
at $25,000, which he posted in
September 2002.
While free on bail, Candler
failed to appear before the court
for a scheduled jury selection on
June 6, 2003 and again on Aug.
11, 2003.
Monday was Candler’s first
appearance in the Elk County
Court of Common Pleas, or presumably in any court, since 2003.
Represented by Gary Knaresboro, Candler pleaded guilty to a
felony count of aggravated assault.
As a result of his plea, Candler was sentenced to three

A certain young man
about town made an engagement with one of our
young maids for last Saturday night, little thinking
of April fool day. The young
man called at the stipulated time but the young lady,
who did not care for his
company, was not at hand.
We are informed he wore
out a number of phones
and several hundred railroad ties between 8 and 10
p.m. when he finally gave
up in despair.
The Crystal Hose
Company was called out
at noon yesterday on account of a fire in the office
building of the St. Marys
Sewer Pipe Works, located on Brusselles Street.
The origin of the blaze,
which started in the basement, is a mystery, as no
fires were burning in the
building and the electric
current had been turned
off. The building was completely gutted and the loss
will probably reach about
$2,000.
One of the cars operated by the Ford Bus Line
imbedded itself in the mud
on Erie Avenue at noon today and was unable to get
out under its own power.
The car sank into the mud
up to the running board
and it was necessary to
enlist the service of the
Garner truck to pull it out,
after which the little “Old
Ford” rambled right along,
none the worse from its
mishap.
Several other cars
were stalled on this thoroughfare yesterday, and
were gotten out with much
difficulty as the mud is
nearly two feet deep.
Wednesday, April 5, 1916
James R. Miller, 429
East First Street, Civil
War veteran and something of a judge of literature, happened upon a descriptive production whose
author is a Long Beach girl
under the age of 10 years.
It is entitled “The Pig.”
Miller was enough interested to typewrite a copy of
it and pass it along to The
Press. Here is the text of it,
verbatim:
“A pig is very hard and
plump. They are sometimes black and white or
just black or white. They
are always dirty so you
cannot tell just what color
they are.

“When they talk they
only grunt. Sometimes so
plump that they can hardly walk. Their tail is a very
short tail that curls up.”
– Long Beach Press.
The author of the
above descriptive production is Miss Hazel Garner,
granddaughter of L. H.

We have now arrived
at the month of April in
this year of grace. Last
year some of the season’s
very warmest weather visited us during April. Many
folks bemoaned the torrid
days and groaned in anticipation of an approaching summer of scorching
heat. As a matter of fact
the summer was one of the
coolest this section of the
planet has experienced in
many years. With few exceptions the nights were
cool and comfortable, a
perfect joy to night workers as well as to others.
Unless April belies its
usual record we are going to have a great deal of
changeable weather during the next four weeks.
There will be warm
weather and cold; the sun
will shine and the clouds
will gather; there will be
rain one hour and snow
the next, intermingled, it
may be with hail or sleet;
there will be balmy zephyrs and possibly an occasional stinging blast
from the north. While we
have an infinite variety
of weather here at almost
every season, the present
month is usually fertile in
that respect. It is a weather-bringer, surely.
Now the gardner begins to get busy.

nated to the city in early
2015.
The resolution documents the transition of
the land for city records.
As part of the city’s
accreditation
process,
council is updating all
its manuals, policies and
processes.
Council unanimously
adopted a resolution establishing guidelines for
police officers when making warrantless arrests
under the Pennsylvania
judicial code.
“We should have a
resolution on the books
from City Council basically in the procedures
allowing our officers
to
have
warrantless
arrests,” Pearson explained. “This is one
thing we found out we
didn’t have on the record
books.”
The purpose of the
resolution is to get everything in line in order to
obtain the accreditation.
The summary offenses for which a police
officer may make a warrantless arrest under the
resolution are for disorderly conduct, public
drunkenness, obstructing highway, underage
purchase, consumption,
possession or transportation of liquor.
Pearson stated after realizing the city did
not have this resolution,
they wanted to ensure
the procedure was officially listed on their
books.
The resolution allows the city to formalize the guidelines which
states if a police officer
has probable cause to believe there is a violation
of one or more of the four
summary offenses listed
above and when there is
ongoing conduct which
imperils the personal
security of any person
or endangers public or
private property, the officer shall have the right
to arrest without a warrant.

Chief Tom Nicklas said
the need for the resolution is to follow statutory
requirements.
He stated most procedures define for the police how they are to proceed with different types
of criminal prosecutions.
Summary offenses have
a certain set of procedures as compared to
felonies.
“Most people who are
cited for a summary violation will be issued a citation or have it mailed
to them,” Nicklas said.
“Sometimes folks act in
such a way that we have
to elevate what we do to
the point of having to
physically arrest them
and take them from the
scene.”
Mayor Bob Howard
reported the discussion
during two recent executive sessions held
by council on Monday
March, 21 and Thursday, March 24 involved
legal matters regarding
potential litigation and
personnel matters.
As part of his regular updates on the status
of areas of improvement
for the city as mentioned
in Novak Report, Pear-
son reported things are
progressing as expected with the city’s new
sewer billing software.
On March 31, Pearson,
along with the city’s finance director and billing representatives, met
with a programmer from
Freedom Software.
They hope to have
the new system in place
and up and running in
May.
Councilman
Gary
Anderson inquired about
the status of the Elk
Creek flood control study
noting they appropriated
money in this year’s budget for the study which
will be conducted by
Gannett Fleming.
Pearson said they
are finishing with the
study and he anticipates
receiving the results in
May.
City officials have
already met with Elk
County Commissioners
and representatives from
state Rep. Matt Gabler’s
(R-Clearfield/Elk) office
regarding the issue.
The next step after
receiving the report is to
plan what direction city
officials wish to go with
the project.
Pearson said they are
waiting on the study to
determine what type of
assistance they will request from the state.
All members of council were present at the

Councilman Greg Gebauer.

In that case, Burton
and former Supervisor
Charlie Vaughn of James
City could not agree on a
replacement for Vanderneck.
There also was a dispute involving the Vacancy Board chairman.
Therefore, Burton and
Vaughn asked the Elk
County Court to fill the
vacant seat.
More
than
five
months after Vanderneck’s death in January
2013, Masson named
Wolfe to fill the vacancy.
Wolfe was endorsed
by Vaughn. Burton favored Bob Reigel of
James City. He is husband of Christy Reigel,
the current township secretary-treasurer and one
of three candidates to fill
the Burton vacancy.
Both Wolfe and Reigel
appeared
before
the
judge in the courtroom,
reviewed their resumes
and gave their reasons
for wishing to serve as a
township supervisor.
It is believed that
candidates for the current board vacancy also
would have a chance to
address the judge in public court April 22 before
the judge makes his decision.
lenges for a prosecution of
Candler.
Due to the significant
passage of time since the
crime, several key witnesses and law enforcement officials have either
died or moved out-ofstate.
McMahon added that
there could have been a
self-defense argument in
court as some evidence
suggests that Candler
was surrounded and assaulted by four individuals prior to the discharging of the gun.
Further,
McMahon
stated that the weapon
was found in Candler’s
possession, but at the
time, no gunshot residue
was found on Candler’s
hands.
McMahon admitted
that a jury could draw a
conclusion from the evidence that an accidental
discharge was responsible
for the bullet that injured
one man.
However, with Monday’s plea by Candler, a
jury will not be needed;
Candler was scheduled
for jury selection on Monday in the case, but with
his guilty plea, jury selection has been canceled.

“I am ready to work
diligently with the board
to improve the quality

Reigel said in a letter to
the board.
Supervisors in two local townships-- Wetmore
and Hamilton-- also work

“My attendance has
kept me up-to-date on the
current issues we are experiencing in our community and has helped prepare me to become part of
the solution,” Farnsworth
said in her letter to the supervisors.
Supervisors Wolfe and
Detsch asked the court to
name the third Highland
supervisor because they
can’t agree on a candidate
to fill the vacancy.
Normally, when a vacancy exists, the appointed Vacancy Board chairman breaks the tie when
the remaining two supervisors can’t agree on a replacement.
However, Wolfe and
Detsch also can’t agree
on the appointment of a
Vacancy Board chairman.
The township at this time
does not have a Vacancy
Board chairman, one of
the posts filled at the annual
reorganizational
meeting in January.
The township also is
without a solicitor for now
as Wolfe and Detsch can’t
agree on an attorney to
represent Highland.
Wolfe and Detsch petitioned the court for the
proceeding to fill the vacancy without the use of a
legal firm.
This is the second
time in four years that the
court is being asked to fill
a vacancy on the Highland
Township Board of Supervisors.
A stalemate over the
selection of a third supervisor in Highland developed in 2013 after the
death of Supervisor Jack
Vanderneck of James City.

April 27th marks National Administrative Assistant Day. According to
social media polls 66% of employees feel the administrative assistant
is more important than the big boss.
This special recognition day started some 60 years ago as Secretary Day.
As time changed so did the holiday, now the way administrative professionals describe their official and unofficial duties and responsibilities
in the office could range from human resources director, accountant,
concierge and therapist to downright miracle worker.
While it is a holiday, it is up to the boss if they sing praise of their
administrative assistants or not. The Daily Press will offer a beautiful
card of thanks from the boss printed in the daily paper on the 27th
and a nice flower delivered to local administrative professionals to
mark the occasion.

Guest Commentary
Choose Life - It's a
Brief Experience
Life is an opportunity
to spend a brief period of
time in this world. During
this minimal space of time
we are fortunate to enjoy
what most others cannot
do. Most of the people who
have ever lived are dead.
Therefore we are in a very
rare state of existence. We
are in the land of the living. We breathe, eat, work,
worry, cry, laugh and either
enjoy or hate life.
I read about young
adults who die almost
every day. Young people
overdosing on drugs,
alcohol or committing
suicide. Millions more live
in a depressive state. Life
has its ups and downs
and there is really no such
thing as a perfect life. All of
us are faced with sickness,
caregiving, worries, stress,
messes, disappointments,
sadness, victories and
more. It's life.
We often look at other
lives and envy them. We
develop the impression
that others are free of
problems and sadness
when often those who seem
to be the happiest struggle
the most. While being a
caregiver for 12 years an
acquaintance commented
to me, "You seem to have
the world by the tail. No
one would ever dream
you have a problem in the
world." Smiling, trying to
keep a good attitude and
being kind to others throws
a lot of people off. Sadly, we
aren't used to seeing this
in most people.
We can't live our lives
based on others. No one
thing will make you happy
or fill you with a vibrant
life. No one person makes
you alive. No one certain
job will make you alive.
Life is not ultimately found
in money, a relationship,
a child, a career, a house
or anything. All of these of
course add to our living.
However, ultimate living
is more powerful than any
one certain thing, event or
person. I understand losing
a child or spouse in death
cuts our hearts out. I've
buried a child and a wife.
It's horrific. I've had disappointments in business,
frustrating jobs and fallen
flat on my face.
I know what it's like to
draw unemployment. I
know what it feels like to
go to the county social services office and apply for
Medicaid because I couldn't
afford to pay for my wife's
nursing home expenses. I
know what it's like to lose
"friends" because I didn't
do exactly as they thought
I should do. Oh well.
Lots of stuff can rob us
of life. Don't let this political season sour your life.
Carefully consider who
you think will be best for
protecting our country by
bringing our jobs back, updating our infrastructure,
strengthening our Social
Security and strengthening
our military. Fighting and
arguing about it all day is
a waste of energy. Make
your choice and vote.
My preacher was talking
a lot about life at church
this past Sunday. He quoted a verse of scripture from
Proverbs 12:28, "In the
way of righteousness there
is life." He talked about
choosing to live. There are
choices that lead to death
but there are choices that
lead to life. I hope today
that you choose to live and
love life. It's a brief experience.

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
The other day I had a brief encounter with an angel
at Dollar General. Having some difficulty with my card
at the checkout, a woman behind me paid for my purchase. I have no idea who she was. Her kindness and
generosity will never be forgotten.
I would love to repay you if I only knew who you are. I
hope someday our paths will cross again. Words cannot
express how I feel. A simple thank you doesn’t seem adequate. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
You truly are an angel. Thank you from the bottom of
my heart.

Guest Commentary
Jim Crow Days Are Here Again
Jim Crow days are here
again, in Mississippi, this
time segregating gays
and lesbians from fine,
God-and-diversity-fearing
citizens. But this latest
mossback move to keep
business at bay and our
poor image intact might
not stand.
Why? Because some
employers with big payrolls don't like it.
To paraphrase the
Bible, a little car company
will lead them. Not so
little, because Nissan employs 6,000 people in Mississippi, and the company
says it opposes any law
that discriminates. This
one does. Also on record
as opponents are Ingalls
shipyard and MGM with
its big state casinos.
So if the governor of
the Great State of Mississippi, as expected, signs
into law something called
the "Protecting Freedom
of Conscience from Government Discrimination
Act," an unconstitutional
and thinly veiled slap in
the face and freedom of
the gay community, there
might be huge economic
repercussions.
One can hope.
Mississippi, always
following, rarely leading,
isn't the first state to play
with discrimination fire.
Ten have. The Georgia
governor vetoed a similar
effort by yahoos in that
state's legislature after
Hollywood threatened
to rule out that state as
the setting for moneygenerating movie shoots.
Businesses in North Carolina are urging repeal of a
law limiting transgender
bathroom options in government buildings.
Mississippi isn't paying
any mind to the missteps
of others. Why learn from
the mistakes of others
when you can make your
own?
I was expecting out-ofstate visitors one day last
week and felt like hiding
the local newspaper. Here
were the headlines:
"Coast religious leaders
split on armed guards in
places of worship"
"Judge blocks ban on
adoption by same-sex
couples"
"Coast clerks say they'll
issue licenses to gay
couples despite bill" (The
aforementioned "Protecting Freedom of Conscience ...)
And that was just the
front page. How long,
Mississippi, how long?
The Mississippi Legislature manages to keep
itself and the courts busy,
doing things you might
expect in a state that has
both the highest potential
and lowest success rate
in almost any category
you could name. Please,
you're saying, give me an
example of that ignored
Mississippi potential. OK,
here's one.
With the highest percentage of African-Americans in the country except
for the District of Columbia, Mississippi could, if
it would, become a beacon
of how to coexist in an
increasingly diversified
United States. Already we
have more black elected
officials and have dug out
of a deeper hole than any
other state when it comes
to race relations. Instead,
the legislature spends its
time figuring out how to
alienate and discriminate
against another minority,
eclipsing any forward mo-
tion we've made.
Mississippi arguably
produced the nation's
best novelist, William
Faulkner, its best short
story writer, Eudora
Welty, its best playwright,
Tennessee Williams, and
a host of other writers
and musicians. Yet we
compete with Alabama
to be tops in underfunding public education
and throwing stumbling
blocks in front of all the
arts.
With our abundance of
churches -- I'm guessing
more per capita than any
other state -- we should
have plenty of potential
for teaching lessons of
love for all of mankind.
But, no, not happening,
because we're too busy
figuring out how to arm a
deacon.

Today in History
Today is Tuesday, April
5, the 96th day of 2016.
There are 270 days left in
the year.
Today's Highlights in
History:
On April 5, 1976, during an outdoor demonstration against court-ordered
school busing in Boston,

effectively prohibited private ownership of gold.
In
1955,
British
Prime Minister Winston
Churchill resigned his office for health reasons.
Democrat Richard J. Daley
was first elected mayor of
Chicago, defeating Republican Robert E. Merriam.
In 1964, Army General
Douglas MacArthur died
in Washington, D.C., at
age 84.
In 1986, two American
servicemen and a Turkish

which prompted a U.S. air
raid on Libya more than a
week later.
In 1991, former Sen.
John Tower, R-Texas, his
daughter Marian and 21
other people were killed
in a commuter plane crash
near Brunswick, Georgia.
Ten years ago: Duke
University's lacrosse coach
resigned and the school
canceled the rest of the
season amid a burgeoning
controversy involving allegations that three players
on the highly ranked team
had raped a stripper at
an off-campus party. (The
rape charges were later
dropped, and the players
exonerated.) Katie Couric
announced she was leaving NBC's "Today" show
to become anchor of "The
CBS Evening News." Singer Gene Pitney was found
dead in his hotel room in
Cardiff, Wales; he was 66.
Five years ago: Ivory
Coast's
strongman
leader, Laurent Gbagbo
(loh-RAHN' BAHG'-boh),
remained holed up in a
bunker inside the presidential residence, defiantly maintaining he'd won
an election four months
earlier even as troops
backing the internationally recognized winner encircled the home. (Gbagbo
was arrested six days
later.) Texas A&M won its
first national women's basketball championship with
a 76-70 victory over Notre
Dame.

Thought
for
Today:
"Power tends to corrupt,
and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great
men are almost always
bad men, even when they
exercise influence and not
authority, still more when
you superadd the tendency
or the certainty of corruption by authority." — Lord
Acton, British historian
(1834-1902), in a letter
written on this date in
1887.

Gardner
found than the sentence
imposed in court.
With Gardner’s guilty
plea to these charges,
he will not be allowed
to hold public office in
the future; Gardner was
set to begin a new term
as Ridgway Township
supervisor in January,
however, in light of these
charges, Gardner resigned as supervisor and
roadmaster.
Gardner
remains
employed by the township as a member of
the road crew, although
he remains suspended
without pay pending the
conclusion of this case;
while he is still employed
by the township, Gardner said Monday he has
found alternative employment.
Ridgway
Township
Supervisor Milly Bowers said Monday night
that the township has
not made any decisions
to this point regarding
Gardner’s employment.
The next township meeting will be tonight at
7 p.m. at the Ridgway
Township
Municipal
Building.
While Gardner can
no longer hold a public
office and may not remain employed with the
township, perhaps the
most significant impact
for Gardner comes in the
forfeiture of his township
pension plan.
According to Gardner’s
attorney,
Beau
Grove of Ridgway, Gardner is set to lose over
$100,000
in
pension
funds with the entry of
his guilty pleas.
During Monday’s proceedings, McMahon said
recommending
incar-
ceration would not have
been appropriate in this
case, calling Gardner’s
actions a brief lapse in
judgment in a life otherwise marked by public
servitude.
President
Judge
Richard
A.
Masson
agreed,
saying
that
Gardner was not a risk to
the community and that
the self-imposed punishments were likely more
significant than the punishments the court could
consider imposing.
When given a chance
to speak Monday, Gardner apologized to the
county and to the township for his behavior,
adding that his actions
broke relationships and
the trust that people had
in him and government
officials.
Overall, Gardner was
sentenced to 12 months
of probation for each of
the two charges, but the
sentences will run concurrent to each other; for
each of the 12 months,
Gardner will have to pay
a $35 supervision fee.
For the theft by deception charge, Gardner
was also assessed a $300
fine, the cost of prosecution and restitution,
which has been paid in
full since January.

‘Reverse transfer’
agreement signed
HARRISBURG – Students who began their studies at a community college
in Pennsylvania before
transferring to a university
within Pennsylvania’s State
System of Higher Education might already have
earned enough credits to receive their first degree. And
now there’s an easy way for
them to get it, through the
newly launched “reverse
transfer” initiative.
The 14 community colleges in the state and 14
State System universities
today signed a statewide
reverse transfer agreement
that will allow students
who have earned at least 60
total credits to apply for an
associate degree from the
community college where
they started.
Receiving the degree
could immediately enhance
the student’s earning potential, even as he or she
continues working toward
a bachelor’s degree or other
certification or credential at
a State System university.
“The State System universities and the community colleges are natural
partners,” said State System Chancellor Frank T.
Brogan. “This agreement is
another example of how we
can work together on behalf
of students all across the

ceived a counterfeit $10
bill sometime between 3
p.m. on March 24 and 5
p.m. on March 28.
In similar fashion,
police also reported investigating an incident at
MJ’s Mini Mart in Kersey.
Troopers say the business
received a counterfeit $20
bill for payment sometime
between March 23-28.
Troopers are also investigating an incident
that occurred between
March 24-25 at the Last
Chance Inn in Fox Township. Investigators said
the establishment received three counterfeit
$20 bills for payment.
“The $20 bills are the
most common because
you’re getting the most
bang for your buck so to
speak,” Morris said. “With
a $50 bill and a $100 bill,
people are going to look
at it a bit more so the $20
bills seem to be the way to
go.”
He said it seems to
be too early in the investigations to comment on
whether the counterfeit
funds were generated locally and distributed or
if they came from outside
the area and were somehow passed into circulation.
“I believe there were
some bills that were
passed in a transaction
and there was at least one
of them that was aware
that that one bill was different than the rest that
they had with them at the
time,” Morris said.
He said there are multiple indicators present on
currency regarding its authenticity.
“The actual currency
is more of a cloth than a
paper so it has a certain
feel that we all recognize,”
Morris said. “No matter
what a counterfeiter does
with it, even the best copy
paper, the feel and texture
and thickness is completely different.
“What also usually
happens is with the effort
to have it real crisp, clean
and neat, it’s just ridiculous and someone is going
to look at that bill even
harder. So they usually
run it through a clothes
dryer or do something that
won’t damage the ink but
at least give it a sign like
it’s been worn and has
time and use.”
Where the counterfeit
currency has been folded
also serves as an indicator
that the bill is fake.
“You’ll also notice that
anyplace where it’s folded,
usually what happens is
the fiber of the paper gets
stretched, so it leaves a
line or a blurred space and
if it’s the portrait picture
on the currency or any of
the detailed marks, it sort
of leaves a white line that
you can detect even to the
naked eye,” Morris said.
“That’s just looking at it
and feeling it with the naked eye. You can get into
it where you look at it in
the light and you see the
watermark and the little
ribbon that goes through
it and the microprinting
and I’m at the point in my
life where I need reading
glasses and I won’t see the
microprinting even with
them. I know they’re there
because I can see it with a
magnifying glass.”
Morris cautions, however, that he does not feel
it is time for retailers to
use counterfeit security
pens on currency they receive.
The pen contains a
tincture of iodine as ink
which when drawn over a
legitimate bill will remain
amber or brown. The ink
will turn black if the bill
is counterfeit. Even with
the security pen, however,
counterfeiters are quickly
finding ways to override
this particular defense
tactic.
“I don’t think it’s necessary for businesses to
use a security pen on all
their bills, they just have
to be cautious,” he said. “If
they feel something different when dealing with the
different denominations
and realize something is
different, that’s what they
need to be looking for.”
Morris noted that
if one counterfeit bill is
mixed in with a group of
authentic bills, “you can
usually tell right away.”
“If you look at the $5
bill, $10 and $20, it has
the color-changing in it too
if you turn it sideways and
so forth, and that can’t be
duplicated with a photocopier,” he said. “What I’ve
seen, they’re just printing
the green and that’s it, but
if you take a regular bill
and turn it back and forth
in your hand, you can see
it change colors.”
PSP Ridgway continues to investigate the incidents.

Penn State announces fan
voting for White Out T-shirt
UNIVERSITY PARK
– For the next 10 days,
Penn State fans will have
the opportunity to vote on
the 2016 Penn State Football White Out game Tshirt design via a fan poll
on GoPSUsports.com.
Fans
can
locate
the White Out vote at:
www.GoPSUsports.com/
pennstatewhiteout with
voting running until Friday, April 15 at 11:59 p.m.
(Eastern). Fans can vote
once per day. The White
Out game T-shirt will be
announced at the BlueWhite game on Saturday,
April 16.
Nike has created two
White Out T-shirt designs that fans will have
the opportunity to vote
for through Friday, April
15. Penn State is proud
to have long-time partner
Nike create two unique
and captivating designs
for this year’s Penn State
White Out T-shirt.
The first White Out
T-shirt option is call the
White Out Blend Tee. This
student body tee design
captures the spirit of the
2016 Penn State White
Out. It features a center
chest graphic on the front
of the t-shirt that not only
highlights the primary
Nittany Lion logo but
does so with a tonal gradient fade while incorporating the Ready, Set, Roar
mantra. The application
will feature HD finishing which will bring the
tonal print to life through
dimension and contrast of
color. The Swoosh design
trademark is incorporated
on the left chest.
The second White Out
T-shirt option is called the
White Out Roar Tee. This
student body tee simultaneously captures the spirit of the Ready, Set, Roar
mantra and the 2016 Penn
State White Out. Taking design cues from the
scarf that hangs from the
neck of the Nittany Lion
mascot this tee embodies
the spirit of Penn State
football. The center chest
team color graphic compliments the white tee, and
is tied together with both
the primary Penn State
logo on the right chest and
the Swoosh design trademark on the left chest.
The Nittany Lions
are in the midst of spring
practice, which will culminate in the Blue-White
game on Saturday, April
16 at 2 p.m. Admission
and game day parking are
free.
The game day themes
for the 2016 season will be
announced in the coming
weeks.
Penn State season
ticket renewals and Nittany Lion Club membership renewals also are
underway for the 2016
campaign, which includes
five Big Ten home games
for the first time. There
will not be any increase
in the price of Penn State

Bill to limit Pa. abortions
voted out of committee
HARRISBURG (AP)
— A Republican-crafted
bill that would place new
limits on abortion has
cleared a Pennsylvania
legislative
committee
Monday, three days after
the amendments to the
Abortion Control Act were
first made public and introduced in written form.
The House Health
committee voted 16-10 for
the proposal that would
prohibit elective abortions
after 20 weeks, compared
to 24 in current law.
It also would criminalize performing what it
terms
“dismemberment
abortions,” or procedures
that cause the deaths of
fetuses by removing their
body parts. Those procedures would still be allowed if needed to save the
mother’s life or prevent
her from suffering the impairment of a major bodily
function.
Rep. Jason Dawkins,
D-Philadelphia, said he
didn’t see how he belonged, as a legislator, in
a conversation between
a woman and her doctor
about whether to have an
abortion. He warned that
making abortion more
difficult could lead some
women to seek out unsafe
alternatives.
“If we put certain restrictions on a woman’s
choice, will they start
looking for that other option?” Dawkins said.
The proposed restrictions would address “a violent death for a baby that
can, most likely, feel pain,”
said Rep. Judy Ward, RBlair. “If that happened to
animals, people would be
outraged.”
A spokesman for the
House’s Republican majority said after the commit-

Phillies bullpen melts down in 8th, Reds rally for 6-2 win
CINCINNATI
(AP)
— The Phillies’ bullpen
was their biggest concern
heading into the season.
It melted down in the first
game.
Zack Cozart drove in
the tying run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and Joey Votto followed with a bases-loaded
single, sending the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-2 victory
on Monday in an opener
matching the majors’ two
worst teams from last season.
For the Phillies, it
looked and felt so familiar.
The Reds scored five
times in the eighth against
Philadelphia’s
work-inprogress
bullpen.
Jay
Bruce completed the rally
with a two-run single in
front of 43,683 fans, the
largest
regular-season
crowd in Great American
Ball Park history.
“You need that eighth-
and ninth-inning guy,”
Philadelphia
manager
Pete
Mackanin
said.
“We’re searching right now
to find the right formula,
and the formula didn’t
work today.”
Both teams plunged
into a major rebuilding job
last season, when the Phillies had the worst record
in the majors at 63-99 and
the Reds were only one
game better. Cincinnati’s
late rally ruined Philadel-
phia’s hopes of a pleasant
start to the new season.
David Hernandez (0-1)
came on for the bottom of
the eighth trying to hold
a 2-1 lead, but failed to
retire a batter, giving up
Scott Schebler’s pinch-hit
double and a pair of walks.
Cozart’s fly ball to right
tied it.
“I felt I was loose and
ready,” Hernandez said. “I
just couldn’t throw the ball
anywhere near the plate.
Sparks senior cheer heading to Nationals
The Sparks All Stars
Senior Cheer Team will be
competing at THE ONE
Cheer and Dance Finals
in the Poconos on April
16 and 17. THE ONE is
a unique, end-of-season
event offered to Cheer
and Dance Teams. North
America’s top Event Producer
companies
will
award the top three placing teams only with exclusive bids to a choice of
finals locations. Bid teams
may choose to compete in
any of the finals locations
with the winning teams
from divisions in each finals location advancing to
THE ONE Virtual Finals
where a panel of the industries top judging professionals will crown THE
ONE in each division.
Unlike any other end-ofseason event, bids to THE
ONE are not handed out
to thousands of teams. You
have to be among the best
in your division at participating bid events to qualify for THE ONE.
The Sparks Senior
Cheer Team competed at
a bid qualifying event in
Cleveland back in January. The Sparks seniors received a first place award
at that competition giving them a partially paid
bid to THE ONE. Some
of the Sparks Cheer and
Dance Teams in the past
have been given a bid to
other locations, but those
were comparable to invitations only. The athlete still
needed to pay the entire
admission fee to compete
in those championships.
This is the first partially
paid bid the Sparks All
Stars have received. A partially paid bid means that
the company who put on
the competition in Cleveland is actually paying
a portion of each athlete’s
admission fee to attend
THE ONE. It is a huge accomplishment and shows
that determination and
hardwork pays off.
The Sparks Senior
Cheer Team held a tag
day recently at Walmart,
Save-A-Lot and Peebles.
They are very thankful to
these establishments for
allowing them to do this
as well as to anyone who
donated. The Sparks Senior Cheer Team has been
working very hard to get
ready to attend this event.
The girls are very excited

Villanova tops
Carolina 77-74 on
Jenkins’ buzzer-beater
HOUSTON (AP) —
He shoots. He scores. And
Villanova wins.
Kris Jenkins spotted
up and swished a 3-pointer at the buzzer Monday
night to lift Villanova to
the national title with a
77-74 victory over North
Carolina — one of the
wildest finishes in the history of the NCAA Tournament.
Villanova worked the
ball to Jenkins moments
after Marcus Paige hit a
double-clutch 3 with 4.3
seconds left to draw the
Tar Heels even.
It’s the first title for
the Wildcats (35-5) since
1985, when Rollie Massimino coaxed them to a
victory over star-studded
Georgetown.
This one might be
even more memorable,
considering ‘Nova squandered a six-point lead
with 1:52 left, only to pull
out the game at the end.
Phil Booth led Villanova with 20 points. Jenkins
finished with 14,
Paige had 21 for the
Heels (33-7) who came one
shot short of giving coach
Roy Williams his third national title.
It’s a waste of a good start.”
Votto fanned his first
three
at-bats
against
starter Jeremy Hellickson,
but singled off left-hander
James Russell for a 4-2
lead. Bruce singled against
Hector Neris during the
nine-batter rally.
Ross Ohlendorf (1-0)
got the win for fanning the
only batter he faced.
Freddy
Galvis
hit
a two-run homer, and
Hellickson allowed only
three hits — all by Cozart
— in six innings to keep
the Phillies ahead until the
eighth. Hellickson became
only the ninth pitcher to
fan Votto three times in a
game, according to STATS.
“You don’t give him the
same pitch twice,” Hellickson said. “You mix it up as
best you can.”
Mackanin had Ryan
Howard and Carlos Ruiz in
the starting lineup, in part
because of sentimental
reasons. Ruiz is expected
to back up Cameron Rupp
at catcher. Howard’s error let in Cincinnati’s first
run — he dropped Galvis’
throw from shortstop in
the first inning.
Nationals 4, Braves
3, 10 innings
ATLANTA (AP) — Extra innings on the road left
Dusty Baker exhausted
but happy in his debut as
Nationals manager.
“It’s kind of like the
game telling me, welcome
back,” Baker said.
Daniel Murphy, also
making his Washington
debut, was a huge hit with
a home run and a go-ahead
double in the 10th inning,
and the Nationals rallied
past the Atlanta Braves
4-3 in their season opener
Monday.
NL MVP Bryce Harper
also homered in his first
plate appearance of the
season.
Baker said players
gave him the “victory
ball” following a display
of strong starting pitching, solid defense and just
enough offense.
“Obviously, what we
did late in the game, that
just speaks volumes,” said
Max Scherzer, who allowed
two runs and three hits in
seven innings.
“To tie the game in the
ninth and then find a way
to win it, that’s just great
baseball.”
Washington got even in
the ninth on Michael Taylor’s sacrifice fly to shallow
center field. Atlanta nearly
escaped with a game-ending double play, but Jayson
Werth scored when catcher
A.J. Pierzynski dropped
Ender Inciarte’s accurate
throw that beat Werth to
the plate.
Murphy’s
one-out
double to left off Eric
O’Flaherty (0-1) drove in
Ryan Zimmerman from
second base in the 10th.
Zimmerman reached on a
two-base throwing error
by second baseman Gordon
Beckham.
Murphy also walked
twice in his first game since
leaving the rival Mets as a
free agent and signing a
$37.5 million, three-year
contract with Washington.
The 2015 NLCS MVP set
a postseason record last
year by hitting a home run
in six consecutive playoff
games.
Freddie Freeman and
Adonis Garcia homered
against Scherzer.
Blake Treinen (1-0)
pitched a scoreless ninth
for Washington. Jonathan
Papelbon got three straight
outs for the save.
The Braves took a
3-2 lead in the eighth on
Shawn Kelley’s bases-loaded walk to Garcia.
Harper homered into
the right-field seats off
Julio Teheran in the first
inning. Only 23, the slugger already has four career
homers on opening day. He
homered twice in the 2013
opener and also connected
last year.
Teheran allowed two
runs on five hits and three
walks in six innings.
Baseball’s new “Chase
Utley Rule” cost the
Braves a baserunner after
Nick Markakis walked in
the seventh. On Hector Olivera’s grounder to third,
Markakis slid wide of second base, upending Murphy, whose throw to first
was late.

Former World Series MVP St. Marys Area Bowling Leagues
Freese fitting in with Pirates
PITTSBURGH (AP)
— The fairy tale, the
one where David Freese
morphed from couchsleeping role player to
World Series MVP for his
hometown team, is over.
Four-plus years removed from an unlikely
run with St. Louis that
brought the franchise
its 12th championship,
Freese finds himself trying to re-ignite his career
in Pittsburgh. There the
33-year-old third baseman was on opening day,
hitting third behind Andrew McCutchen and dinging Cardinals ace and
good friend Adam Wainwright for a pair of hits
while adding some typically responsible defense
in a 4-1 victory.
A month ago Freese
was an out-of-work free
agent in Florida waiting
for the phone to ring. On
Sunday he donned a No.
23 black-and-gold jersey
and spent three hours
trying to stop the guys in
red-and-white with the familiar “Cardinals” scrawl
across the front, several
of whom he remains close
to after spending nearly a
decade with the organization he grew up idolizing.
Yeah, it’s a little weird
but then again, Freese
isn’t complaining. The
vibe he picked up the moment he walked into the
Pirates clubhouse isn’t
much different from the
one he felt in St. Louis
from 2009-13.
“The structure in itself is huge,” Freese said.
“From the top all the
way down, there’s a plan,
there’s a purpose. Everybody is there to help, to
teach, not just wear a uniform.”
And Freese is simply
trying to fit in. He was
randomly assigned No.
7 when he signed in the
middle of spring training. When he realized
the number belonged to
former Pittsburgh manager Chuck Tanner, who
led the “We Are Family”
group to the 1979 World
Series crown, he balked
and asked for No. 23 instead.
“I explained out of respect didn’t feel comfortable wearing Tanner’s old
ST.
MARYS
Area High School
number,” Freese said.
It’s that kind of selflessness that made Freese
such a hit in St. Louis. So
did an epic postseason
in 2011 when he hit .397
with five homers and a
major league-record 21
RBIs in 18 games. He
was an All-Star in 2012
before getting traded to
the Angels in November
2013. He was steady if not
spectacular with the Angels, who let him go over
the winter after he hit a
career-low .257 in 2015.
Freese spent January
working out in Florida
with a group that included Wainwright. The Pirates, looking for help and
an experienced infield bat,
reached out, but the sides
were “planets apart,” according to Hurdle. The gap
narrowed over time and
Freese signed a $3 million, one-year deal with a
team that has shown an
uncanny knack for turning reclamation projects
into comeback stories, a
plan whose graduates include A.J. Burnett, Russell Martin and Francisco
Liriano among others.

it interesting over the
years.
For my brother Todd
and I, one that still
stands above the rest
dates back nearly 40
years. I believe I was 10
and my brother 9. I know
neither one of us was old
enough to hunt, so the
first days of trout and
bass season meant the
world to us.
Both of our grandfathers were still alive
and there was between
six and 12 inches of snow
still on the ground as we
dunked our nightcrawlers
into the waters of Little
Anderson Creek in northwestern Clearfield County near Home Camp, just
a little south of Parker
Dam and Elliott state
parks.
Back then, Little Anderson was stocked with
trout. Its waters created
the DuBois Reservoir. In
most places, two or three
full steps would put you
from one bank to the
other, but its serpentine,
meandering course and
undercut banks created
enough holes for trout to
take refuge in.
The temperatures
were still in the 30s as
we fished, but my brother
managed to pull out a
14-inch brookie to take
lunker honors that day.
But I just barely outfished him, landing two
brook trout.
I don’t recall how
the grandfathers did or
our dad, but I know that
neither of us will surpass
their angling abilities.
Despite the cold conditions, we weren’t ones
to quit at lunch time,
although it felt good to sit
in the warmth of the car.
We did however have a
visit from our Mom and
hers as they checked in
on us, undoubtably concerned about the grandfathers, one 60, the other in
his 70s.
Another trout opener
that stands out to me
involved our first dog,
Ginger, a mix of beagle
and dachshund. This
dog, as I believe I have
mentioned before, loved
to be outside and with us.
Leaving her behind was
not easy to do as those
big, brown eyes pleaded
to us to be allowed to join
in on the adventure.
So, we often took her.
On this particular
opener, the weather was
pretty nice with the day
quickly warming into the
50s. I believe Dad, Todd
and I packed ourselves
into one car while Mom
and Ginger arrived separately and a little later
in the morning. We were
also fishing Anderson
Creek, but below the lake
this time. Here, the creek
rushed over the dam and
down a massive, concrete
spillway. That created a
large, deep pool of water
where trout lived and
teenagers swam in the
summer.
I don’t recall just how
the fishing was, but the
most memorable part was
when Ginger got a little
too daring for her own
good.
I was crouched down
on the high-side bank,
trying to lower my bait
into a nice little pocket
that fish love. The water
undercut the bank with
rhododendron and overhanging tree branches
guarding it. But if you
were willing to get down
on your hands and knees
and carefully thread your
bait between the waiting snags, it was usually
worth it.
As I did this, Ginger
was below me, still on the
high bank, still sniffing
around. After I extracted
myself from the spot to
try another, I stopped to
pet her, then scrambled
down the eroded bank. I
stood in shallower water,
tossing my bait upstream
and letting it drift down
through the hole.
Ginger wasn’t too
happy that I hadn’t
helped her down the bank
and she decided to do
something about it.
As I fished, she
started down the steep
bank. From the top to the
water’s edge was about 8
feet. Where she started
down was mostly dirt.
She didn’t do a bad job of
getting down, but as she
got to the edge, she lost
her balance and plunged,
head-first into the hole I
was working.
Obviously, she was
shocked, but I couldn’t
stop laughing at her
ambition and how it all
turned out.
She bobbed to the top
and then swam downstream to me. I helped
her get back up on the
bank and she spent a
few minutes shaking and
shivering. Needless to
say, Ginger had her fill of
fishing that day!

TIP OF THE WEEK:
Sea Veggies Like Dulse
or Nori Contain The Highest
Amount Of Electrolytes.
At long last, it’s April.
When March is cold
and snowy, as it usually
is, it seems like the wait
for the opening days of
trout and spring gobbler
are shorter.
But with March
being so mild, the days
seem to be dragging by.
Not that we have been
stopped from enjoying
the days when it climbs
into the 60s, but there’s
just something about the
anticipation of a first day
of a hunting or fishing
season.
But even that has
changed. There are more
and more chances to fish
in the area before April
16.
In addition to the
special regulations waterways, all approved trout
streams and lakes will be
open Saturday, April 9 for
those participating in the
Mentored Youth Fishing
Day.
Youth anglers must
obtain a Mentored Youth
Fishing Permit or a
Voluntary Youth Fishing
License from the Commission and be accompanied by an adult licensed
angler in order to participate. Youth may harvest
up to two trout (combined
species) with a minimum
size of 7 inches.
Anglers 16 years of
age or older (adult anglers) must possess a
valid Pa. fishing license
and be accompanied by a
youth (less than 16 years
of age) who has obtained
a Mentored Youth Fishing Permit or a Voluntary
Youth Fishing License.
While mentors will be
permitted to fish for
trout, they are not permitted to harvest trout
and must release them
unharmed.
And for those who
are willing to travel a
bit, there are 18 counties
in the Southeast part of
there state where Saturday, April 2 was the
Walk on the Wildside

ANNIE’S MAILBOX®
COPYRIGHT 2001 CREATORS SINDICATE, INC.
Dear Annie: I always had an exaggerated response to alcohol and could
never have just one drink. The first time
I ever tried drinking was when I was
14 years old, and I got drunk. I wasn’t
a heavy drinker right away, though. I
would drink on weekends and otherwise
led a “normal” life through my teens and
20s.
However, when I was in my early
30s, I found myself in a high-pressure
professional job, living alone in a big city.
My life appeared to be great, but I was
completely miserable. On weekends, I
would start drinking at 4 p.m. and would
continue until I passed out or fell asleep.
I also started abusing pills and found
that as long as I was passed out, I could
avoid the pain that had become my life.
Finally, I decided to end my life.
Fortunately, my suicide attempt did
not pan out and I went for help. I was
sent to a state psychiatric facility for six
months. While there, I finally admitted to
myself that I had a problem with alcohol.
For years, I thought that once I got my
mental health issues straightened out, I
could drink alcohol safely. But I learned
that alcohol was also causing a lot of my
problems.
With the help of Alcoholics Anonymous, I got the support I needed and
have been sober for 12 years. I am now
happily married, have earned a second
college degree and have a career I love.
I hope others who have a problem with
alcohol will realize that they can’t wait for
their other problems to go away. They
need to stop drinking as a first step. -Sarah B.
Dear Sarah: Thank you for sharing your story. April 7 is National Alcohol
Awareness Day. It’s also a good reminder that any of our readers who worry that
they or their loved ones have a problem
with alcohol can take a completely free
and anonymous screening at HowDoYouScore.org.
Dear Annie: You missed the boat
on your response to “Confused by Wife,”
who said his wife thinks she’s ugly, refuses to stop drinking or smoking, and
won’t go anywhere. Worse, she wants
him to stay there with her. He says he is
in good shape, but she wants him to go
bald, give up exercise and snack on junk
food so he would know how she feels.
He’s such a typical male. Everything is
about him and his looks.
Annie, this woman is severely depressed or she has some kind of medical
condition. She has withdrawn from life. It
common for depressed people to expect
others to behave the same way so they
can “see how it feels.” They can’t always
figure out what’s wrong with them, and
they’re tired of being misunderstood.
Other indications are her lack of energy
and not caring about her health.
The first step is for her to have a
complete physical, and then she should
seek out a mental health professional.
With the right medication, assistance
and support, she can start participating
in life again. -- Sarasota, Florida
Dear Sarasota: You could be right
that the wife is depressed or has a medical issue and should speak to her doctor. But she must be willing to make the
effort, which she is not. Our advice was
for the husband. But we will add that if
he can convince his wife to see her doctor, it could help.

YOUR INDIVIDUAL HOROSCOPE
For Wednesday, April 6, 2016 - by Francis Drake
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Tread carefully today, because
power struggles with others are inevitable. Therefore, when talking to
parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs,
remember the power of courtesy.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
You want to research something
deeply today. In other words, you
want to get to the bottom of something. Well, you will succeed.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
Discussions with a friend or perhaps someone who is a member
of a group might come to a head
today, especially concerning how to
deal with shared property or how to
spend an allotted amount of money.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Be careful when talking to bosses,
parents and VIPs today, as well
as partners and close friends, because power struggles are par for
the course. Don’t get suckered into
something that’s just not worth it.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Avoid controversial subjects like
religion, politics and racial issues
today, because they will disintegrate
quickly into arguments. People are
opinionated and unwilling to listen.
Yikes!
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Squabbles about inheritances,
shared property and debt might
arise today, which is why this is not
a good day to discuss those subjects. Whatever happens, you will
stand your ground.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Arguments upset your peace of
mind. You know this. You need harmony in your surroundings. Therefore, avoid heated discussions with
partners and close friends.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Machinery and heavy equipment
might break down on the job today.
In addition, discussions with others
also might break down. (It’s one of
those days.)
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Be patient when dealing with children today, even if they have hissy
fits and meltdowns. (Lots of people
feel this way today.) Patience is your
best friend.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Family discussions might be difficult
today if people insist on getting their
own way. Step back and give things
some breathing space. By tomorrow, a solution might be obvious.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Don’t come on too strong with others today, because you will blow
them away! Remember: If you really want people to listen to you,
whisper.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Quarrels about property and money
are likely today. Don’t get involved,
because by the end of the week,
things will work out nicely.
YOU BORN TODAY You are an
innovator. You love to experiment
with new ideas, which is why many
of you have a scientific mind. You
are open about trying new things
and always looking for the best way
to do something. You will love this
year, because it is the beginning
of a fresh, new nine-year cycle for
you. Open any door! Your future is
in your hands.

BCAT graduates 22 students at ceremony
BROCKWAY – Opportunity.
That was the theme
at the third graduating class at the Brockway Center for Arts and
Technology recently as
22 students received certifications as medical assistants and pharmacy
technicians.
BCAT is a unique
collaboration
between
Pittsburgh-based Mancheste-Bidwell and its
founder, Bill Strickland,
state Sen. Joe Scarnati
and Brockway businessman Peter Varischetti.
M a n c h e s t e r- B i d w e l l ’s
model offers adult job
training and education
opportunities for youths.
The Brockway center
was the first foray into a
rural setting. It is situated in a portion of the
former Brockway Glass
Main Office headquarters building.
The training that
culminated in Wednesday’s graduation is a
nine-month course of instruction offered tuitionfree to the students and
including two national
certification
examinations.
“BCAT is growing,”
Varischetti said. “We hit
a home run and the ball
is still sailing.”
“This is truly a model
for education, across the
state and the nation,”
Scarnati said. Addressing the graduates, he
said, “You took the initiative; that is what separates those who succeed
from those who don’t.
Initiative and courage
will carry you a long
way.”
Brittanei Neubert of
Ridgway,
co-valedictorian in the medical assistant class, said, “I am
ready to face anything
that is thrown my way.
Bring it on.”
Co-valedictorian
Courtney Walker of Penfield said, “I will always
cherish” the experience
at BCAT, adding that
all 22 graduates passed
their national certification exams.
Ashley McAninch of
Brookville,
pharmacy
technician valedictorian,
said, “I can’t help feel
that this is just a dream”
and thanked Scarnati,
Varischetti and the Varischetti family for “making this dream a reality.”
BCAT Executive Director Deborah Heigel
said she is “extremely
proud” of the class, noting that “They’ve worked
very hard. We’ve worked
together. We’ve worked
diligently.
“Always
remember
that you were here,” she
said. “Appreciate your
skills; share them. What
you are going to do is important.”
Individual members
of the classes were presented by Deborah Grunthaner, director of MA,
and Dr. Joseph Spencer,
Pharmacy Tech instructor. The BCAT staff also
includes Nicole Snyder,
Kristine Gasbarre, Shelley Hanes, Dr. Gary McGee and Dr. David Parrott.
The BCAT board of
directors includes Peter
Varischetti,
president;
Dan Hawkins, vice president; Sue Snelick, secretary; John Sutika, treasurer, and John Blasdell,
Duane Vicini, William E.
Strickland Jr. and Ray
Calhoun.
Megan Hoy sang the
national anthem and
Renee Tuning provided
instrumental selections,
the processional and the
recessional.
Medical
assistant graduates include
Maureen Amacher of
Ridgway, Kayla Bailey
of Brockway, Christi
Fleeger of DuBois, Megan Hoy of St. Marys,
Hannah Johnson of St.
Marys, Tiffany Knap
of Brookville, Brittanei
Neubert of Ridgway, Violet Richards of Curwensville, Miranda Tapper
of Reynoldsville, Diane
Thomas of Clearfield,
Amber Vrobel of Punxsutawney,
Courtney
Walker of Penfield and
Christina Wingard of
Falls Creek.
Pharmacy
Technician graduates include
Juhaina Al-Tikrity of
Karthaus, Tracy Bundy
of Falls Creek, Stephanie Kingsbury of Falls
Creek, Ashley McAninch
of Brookville, Briana
Salada of DuBois, Paul
Schmidt of Punxsutawney, Karen Wachob of
Brockport, Julie Whaling of Falls Creek and
Breannna
Wiggin
of
Brockway.
Many of the sidewalks in the city are in
bad condition, particularly those which were in
poor repair before winter
set in. Some of them are in
such shape that it is dangerous to walk over them.
Council is determined that
sidewalks must be kept in
good condition, and with
that end in view will compel owners of properties
to make necessary repairs and build new walks
where they are needed
within a reasonable time
or the city will be forced to
do the work and charge it
up to the property owners.
The Mohan Run
crossing, where the Pennsylvania Railroad crosses
the state road between St.
Marys and Ridgway will
not be so dangerous when
workmen finish the placing of warning bells and a
stop signal at that point.
A force of five men have
been employed for several days and the result
will be that signal bells
will warn automobilists. A
warning arm with, “Don’t
Cross – Train Coming,” is
inscribed will drop down
at the approach of a train.
This crossing is a dangerous one and the P.R.R. is
cooperating to the fullest
extent to prevent any accidents.
Reports
have
reached this office that
wife beaters are again at
work in different sections
of the town. If these reports are true, we advise
that the guilty parties,
who favor this no doubt,
as a national sport, get
together and apply to the
Governor for a charter,
and then they may organize and elect officers.
Another suggestion offered is that of getting up
a petition and presenting
it to council, for a whipping post, which could be
placed on the Diamond
and here these scoundrels
could be given a dose of
their own medicine.

After holding out
a very fair promise of
spring, the weatherman
put one over on us this
morning by providing a
regular man-sized flare
back in the shape of a
snowstorm. This is probably the storm that Dr.
Hicks had arranged for,
to appear on the 28th of
March. It either was sidetracked or else the doctor
got his dates mixed. At any
rate, it is here today and
will undo to a large extent
what the warm rays of the
sun in the past few days
had brought about.

Cents
stances he has begun operations. In milder sections of the state than we
can boast some gardens
have been made by this
time; our people will not
long delay. In fact those
who are not at it already
are looking longing in the
direction of the prospective garden beds and are
eager to become engaged
in the very interesting and
useful business of assisting Mother Earth to bring
forth food for the eater.
Some of us have done
nothing by way of gardening for an ordinary lifetime,
except by proxy. A writer
who last year enjoyed the
successive harvests of such
a garden and not having
had a similar experience
for 40 years previously,
was surprised as well as
delighted at the superiority of the products of the
home garden to the other
sort. Long deprivation had
only sharpened his palate
and now he wonders why
it is that every man does
not manage in some way to
have his own garden. It is
a delightful and toothsome
experiment, one every
householder should undertake if it is at all possible.
On the whole, the
month of April, in spite of
its fickleness – perhaps because of it – is one of the
year’s most enjoyable and
delightful seasons. Perhaps it is the touch of feminine fickleness, the disposition to exhibit many
moods on a single day, or
even in a single hour, that
makes it so interesting to
the average man. For it is
the feminine element in
life that chiefly attracts
the really masculine spirit.
April, then, is preeminently a man’s month.

The pocketbook advertised for in the Daily
Press Lost column yesterday, which contained
$18.58, was found yesterday by Lewis Entres, and
the same was returned
to this office and today
turned over to the loser.
This is another proof that
classified ads in the Daily
Press bring results.
Before a large crowd
at the Gymnasium Hall
last evening the St. Marys
basketball team won the
championship of Elk County by defeating Ridgway
by the score of 56-33. The
score at the finish of the
first half was 38 to 8 in favor of the locals. Ridgway
and Johnsonburg have a
game to play but this will
not change the standing of
the locals who have won
three and lost one, while
Ridgway and Johnsonburg
each won one and last two.
These two teams will fight
it out for second place.

Tena Emmert (left) of the Community Nurses Home Support Services happily receives donations
from McKayla Wilson, a student at Elk County Catholic.
Community Nurses offer personal,
household supplies for shut-ins
Local food banks do
an amazing service for
people in our community
who might otherwise go
without proper nourishment. The Community
Nurses have a similar
program to provide personal care and household
cleaning items. The nurses take donations, which
are stored in the Home
Support Office, located on
Arch Street in St. Marys.
Products are available to
anyone in need, not just
the Community Nurses’
patients or clients.
McKayla Wilson, a
sophomore at Elk County
Catholic, recently collected seven large baskets of
supplies to donate. This
project was done as part
of ECC’s “Pay It Forward” initiative.
Anyone else who may
be interested in donating
or volunteering to organize and distribute supplies may contact Tena
Emmert, Home Support

commonwealth. It’s a winwin for everyone.”
“Collaborating with the
State System on this agreement is the next step in the
commitment of Pennsylvania’s community colleges to
increase student completion
rates to benefit both students individually and the
commonwealth as a whole,”
said Luzerne County Community College President
Thomas P. Leary, who also
serves as chair of the Pennsylvania Commission for
Community Colleges.
A student who earns
an associate degree is more
likely to complete the work
necessary to receive a bachelor’s degree. “If their studies toward a bachelor’s degree are interrupted for any
reason, with this program,
they will still have their associate degree, which will
benefit them as they prepare to enter the workforce
or will help enable them
to move up the career ladder,” said Elizabeth Bolden,
president and CEO of the
Pennsylvania Commission
for Community Colleges.
Many students who
initially enroll at a community college do so with the
intent of eventually earning
a bachelor’s degree, staying
long enough to earn an associate degree before transferring to a four-year college
or university. Some leave before earning a degree, either
to transfer or to go directly
into the workforce.
The reverse transfer
program gives those who
transferred without a credential a pathway to their

first college degree.
“Several State System
universities already have
reverse transfer agreements in place with their
neighboring community college. This new agreement
expands the program statewide, making it available to
many more students across
Pennsylvania,” said Millersville University of Pennsylvania President John
Anderson.
Students who began
their postsecondary education at any community
college in Pennsylvania
and earned a minimum of
45 credits before transferring to any State System
university can participate
in the new program. Eligible credits may include
those earned through Prior
Learning Assessment, Advanced Placement, College
Level Examination Program, Credit by Exam and
the military.
A student must have
enrolled at a State System
university within five years
of leaving the community
college and have earned at
least 15 additional credits
at a State System university to be considered for the
program. Their State System credits will be transferred back to the community college and applied to
the requirements for the
associate degree.
The State System universities will identify eligible students once they complete the 60 total credits
and invite them to participate in the reverse transfer program. If interested,
the eligible students will
fill out a release form and
their State System university transcript will be sent
to the community college for
review and evaluation.
If approved, the community college will award the
degree. Students will not be
charged either a graduation
or transcript fee by either
institution involved.
The first degrees could
be awarded through the
program as early as this
summer. Many students
likely already are eligible.
Others could be once the
current semester ends in
May.
“The reverse transfer
agreement is particularly
helpful for students called
to military service,” said
Jessica Shingara, a business management major at
Millersville University and
former student at Harrisburg Area Community College who spent five years
in the U.S. Navy, where
she was stationed aboard
the USS John Paul Jones.
“Having long breaks from
school can add stress to an
already stressful situation,
and having this program
promotes an easy transition
from serving to studying.”
Pennsylvania’s
State
System of Higher Education is the largest provider of undergraduate and
graduate education in the
commonwealth, with about
107,000
degree-seeking
students and thousands
more who are enrolled in
certificate and other careerdevelopment
programs.
Collectively, the 14 universities that comprise the
State System offer more
than 2,300 degree and certificate programs in more
than 530 academic areas.
Nearly 520,000 State System university alumni live
in Pennsylvania.

Amtrak train struck backhoe
at 106 mph; 2 killed on track
By Michael R, Sisak
Associated Press
CHESTER (AP) — An
Amtrak passenger train was
going 106 miles per hour in a
110 mph zone when it struck
a backhoe sitting on the
same track, killing the backhoe operator and a track
supervisor, federal and local
officials said Monday.
The engineer applied
the emergency brakes five
seconds before impact, the
National
Transportation
Safety Board said late Monday. No one on board was
killed, although more than
30 passengers were injured.
Videos showed construction equipment on the track
and a contractor’s equipment on an adjacent track
before the crash Sunday
morning, NTSB investigator
Ryan Frigo said. He could
not comment on who was
authorized to be there, but
said work crews were scheduled to be interviewed on
Tuesday
“There is a large amount
of data to be looked at,” Frigo
added.
The Delaware County
Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victims
as backhoe operator Joseph
Carter Jr., 61, of Wilmington, Delaware, and Peter Adamovich, 59, of Lincoln University, Pennsylvania. They
died of blunt force trauma.
Amtrak trains on the
Northeast Corridor resumed
regular service on Monday.
The train was heading
from New York to Savannah, Georgia, at about 8 a.m.
Sunday when it hit a piece of
equipment in Chester, about
15 miles outside of Philadelphia. The impact derailed
the lead engine of the train,
which was carrying more
than 300 passengers and
seven crew members.

“This bill is unconstitutional because it
changes from 24 weeks to
20 weeks the time for an
abortion,” Wolf spokesman Jeff Sheridan said.
“The U.S. Supreme Court
has held that a state does
not have an interest in
regulating the unborn prior to 24 weeks so a state
cannot regulate abortions
prior to 24 weeks.”
Republicans defeated
a bid to delay the committee vote for public hearings. Two Democrats sided with all 14 Republicans
voting “yes” on the bill.

at least 11 Democrats, in

will be reviewed but there

for a floor vote to send it to

The president of the
Pennsylvania
Medical
Society wrote lawmakers on Monday to say it
was opposed to the bill
on grounds that it “sets a
dangerous precedent by
legislating specific protocols.”
The bill is being proposed just as Pennsylvania is braced for several
weeks of campaigning
ahead of the April 26 primary, including active
contests for the two major
party presidential nominations.
Gov. Tom Wolf, a
Democrat, has promised
