"The Hound," a radio station in Ridgway, is hosting the event known as "Operation Drug Intervention and Suppression." The public is invited to attend. Speakers include Dave Engman, Kane District Court judge; Pamela Miles, executive director During their Tuesday evening workshop, the St. Marys Area School District Board of School Directors discussed bus stop requirements. The discussion was prompted by an appeal filed by a Fox Township family to add a bus stop along Krise Road. Laura Carlson, director of support services, said she denied the request because it does not meet the district's distance criteria for elementary stops at less than one mile and 1.5 miles for secondary stops. The stop measures .9 miles back the road then 1.8 miles back out. There is currently a bus stop at the intersection of Krise and Fairview roads (Main Street). The district has previously denied the request for the same bus stop which Carlson estimates was about 10 years ago. "It would be a route extension. We would be paying a little bit more," Carlson said. According to the district's website, the time established for the elementary stop along Main Street/Krise Road was set at 8:06 a.m. this year, leaving two minutes to travel to the next bus stop. The secondary run, for middle and high school students, stops at 6:55 a.m. See Request, Page 5 Photo by Amy Cherry SMASD school board members discuss a bus stop request during their Monday evening workshop.

Colby Klancer St. Marys, PA 814-594-1116 JOHNSONBURG – An impressive lineup of open class drum and bugle corps are set to perform at a Blast in the Burg VII taking place Friday, Aug. 5 at 7 p.m. at Memorial Field in Johnsonburg. The 2016 show's lineup consists of Impulse from Buena Park, California, Les Stentors from Sherbooke in Quebec, Canada, Raiders from Burlington, New Jersey, Music City of Nashville, Tennessee, 7th Regiment from New London, Connecticut, Legends from Kalamazoo, Michigan, and Spartans of Nashua, New Hampshire. Impulse is a new addition to the "Blast in the Burg" show. Now in its seventh year, the event is organized by Terry Feronti of Johnsonburg. "Certain portions of the event become more difficult each year," Feronti said. "I always worry about keeping the crowd interested." The show has been a hit with area spectators, consistently drawing a crowd of 850 to 1,050 people. In the past, the corps were thrilled with the large crowd, according to Feronti. Advance tickets are available See Show, Page 12 St. Marys City Council debated potential CDBG projects and approved publication of their bond obligation during their recent meeting. Tina Gradizzi, community and economic development coordinator, presented information to council last month for the 2016 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. According to Gradizzi, 70 percent of the city's grant allotment must be allocated towards benefiting low-moderate income (LCI) individuals/families, 30 percent or less can be utilized toward addressing slum or blight projects and 15 percent or less can be used for public facility projects. The city's 2016 CDBG funding is $272,958.

Masson. Milliard seeks to prove his innocence in the Todd Asti case after he was found guilty of brutally assaulting Asti to the point that Asti is now severely handicapped. During his sentencing appear- ance, Milliard launched into a rant, blaming his lawyer, Jeffrey S. DuBois, for his guilty verdict and saying that the commonwealth was relying upon testimony from lying drug users to build the case against Milliard. He argued that several people received deals from various law enforcement agencies in order to offer testimony against him and that his defense failed to call his witnesses or to ask his questions during the trial. Milliard further continued to See Milliard, Page 2 By Joseph Bell Daily Press Editor RIDGWAY – The Elk County Prison will soon see multiple new policies regarding inmates with drug addiction. Warden Greg Gebauer outlined several issues Tuesday morning during a 20-minute prison board meeting at the Elk County Courthouse Annex. One such issue involves a current prison inmate who is both pregnant and opioid-dependent. She is currently undergoing treatment seven days a week at a methadone clinic in Clearfield. Gebauer said the inmate was undergoing treatment at the time of her incarceration, therefore the county is obligated to continue the treatment. Gebauer is working on a policy for a narcotic addiction treatment program for pregnant opioid-dependent inmates incarcerated in the prison. A standard policy, issued by methadone clinic officials, was handed out to prison board members. The policy would decrease the daily visits to just one day a week.

Warden: Prison population ‘more manageable’ By Joseph Bell Daily Press Editor RIDGWAY – After a few years of severe overcrowding issues at the Elk County Prison, officials believe population issues have subsided. There were 470 inmates booked in 2014 followed by 396 inmates in 2015. Figures in 2015 showed the average daily population topped 70 for the first quarter before declining. As of Tuesday morning, the inmate population was 68 inmates. The average population shifted in the past three months from 54 in May, 60 in June and 54 in July. The facility has booked 224 inmates for the year to date as opposed to 243 last year at this point. “The population has been more manageable than the past year,” Elk County Prison Warden Greg Gebauer said Tuesday morning during a prison board meeting. “We still have a few inmates transferred out for other reasons and the female population seems to balance around eight every month.” There are eight inmates transferred out to other correctional facilities due to overcrowding and other reasons, including issues involving discipline, separation, medical and security. “Of that figure, three are adult status juveniles which cannot be housed in our facility, juveniles being charged as adults,” Gebauer said. “Out of those eight, we’re currently paying for seven. We have one female inmate transferred out and we’re currently paying for her, so the total inmates transferred out as of Aug. 1 would be eight.” The facility generated $3,360 from housing outof-county inmates since the last prison board meeting May 3. Work release fees collected during this time period were $23,943.88. Total housing revenue generated for the year to date is $13,440 and work release fees collected for the year totals $40,301.50. The facility is not housing any out-of-county inmates as of 8 a.m. Tuesday morning. The prison is presently housing 10 females. There are 11 females on the books as one is housed in another county due to a separation order from another inmate. Along with the motion, Milliard included a letter to the court that stated that he was not contacted by any lawyer and that he wrote his motion on Wednesday. "I seek all and every possible remedy within the U.S. Constitution for and because of my rights are/was directly violated in that the guilty verdicts would not otherwise been found," Milliard wrote in his motion. Milliard continues to state that DuBois failed to do his due diligence on his behalf, failed to cross examine and failed to call on vital witnesses. "New court appointed counsel is requested to fully remedy any and all privileges within the process of business in all courts within the U.S.," Milliard continues. "I also request a judgment of acquittal or a new trial." A sentencing hearing will now be scheduled for Milliard to make his case before Masson. Milliard is currently incarcerated on a federal firearms conviction and will begin his sentence for the assault of Asti in 2018, after his federal sentence is completed. Milliard was sentenced by Masson to a minimum of 20 years and a maximum of 40 years of incarceration. If he only serves a minimum sentence, Milliard will not be eligible to leave prison until 2038, when he is 81 years old. Milliard Continued from Page 1 attribute blame to others as he said his own son, Anthony Milliard, was responsible for assaulting Asti. Anthony was a key witness for the commonwealth as he and Asti were the only individuals that were able to testify to seeing Francis at Asti's house on the night of the assault. While Milliard was granted a new attorney after his sentencing appearance, that left just 10 days for a new attorney to become familiar with Milliard's circumstances and author a post-sentence motion. Milliard's new attorney, Joseph Drew Ryan, did not write Milliard's post-sentence motion; instead, Milliard wrote his own motion. Giving You Something to Smile About! K& C DENTURE CENTERS, INC.

Walker, of 341 Michael Street, figured in a motorcycle accident Saturday evening at Emporium, which caused the death of one man and severely wounded Mr. Walker and the driver of the machine. Frank Herdick, the driver, was out for a spin at about 7 p.m. Saturday evening and invited Mr. Walker, who is employed as clerk at the Commercial Hotel in the Powder City, for a ride. They drive up towards the Gun Cotton plant and just as they were in front of one of the main buildings a pedestrian stepped in front of the oncoming machine, which struck him with such force that death resulted shortly afterward. The man’s name, it was later ascertained, was Haskall, employed at the gun cotton plant. Mr. Herdick, the driver, was thrown over the machine and received what may probably yet prove fatal injuries about the head. He was removed to the Port Alleghany hospital for treatment. Mr. Walker was thrown a considerable distance and was rendered unconscious. He received painful injuries about the arms and legs which will lay him up for sometime. H.J. Fritz, who since the resignation of J. B. Mosser as assistant postmaster, has held the title of chief clerk in the local postoffice, has been appointed assistant postmaster, the appointment to become effective tomorrow.

Tuesday, Aug. 1, 1916 We have opened a blacksmith and general repair shop in the Hauber Wagon and Automobile Works building and solicit a share of your patronage. – Chas. Erich and Geo. Herzing Wednesday, Aug. 2, 1916 Walking out of a window in her sleep, Agnes Pye, daughter of Mrs. Harvey Weis, of Washington Street, fell about 35 feet Monday night. Although she was badly bruised about the body the little girl did not awaken until carried in the house by neighbors who had not yet retired for the night and who had seen her fall. Dr. LeVan was called and after an examination found that aside from bruises she sustained no other injuries. The accident occurred at midnight. The other members of the family were in bed and sound asleep and knew nothing of the accident until awakened by neighbors, who had picked the girl up, aroused them from their slumber by pounding on the front door. A birthday party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Weisner, on Theresia Street, last evening. The affair was arranged in honor of Mrs. Weisner, it being her birthday anniversary. About 35 people were in attendance and the evening was spent in games of various sorts. At midnight a dainty lunch was served, after which the funmaking was resumed and continued until far into the morning. An automobile load of Emporium friends also attended the party. All report a jolly good time. Caesar Benelet, aged about 38, of Shawmut, is a patient in the local hospital with a stab wound in the abdomen and Rieci Carda, a fellow countryman, is a prisoner in the Elk County Jail as the result of the fracas at Shawmut Monday afternoon in which Benelet came out second best. No particulars have been received. The patient in the hospital is getting along nicely and unless complications ensue, he should recover. In the meantime, Carda will be held a prisoner. – Ridgway Record.

Millin during the August return day Monday at the Elk County Court of Common Pleas. Damian Tristan Annis appeared for call of the list. He did not enter a guilty plea and will proceed to jury selection Monday, Aug. 8. Jamie Baird pleaded guilty to driving after imbibing (DAI), an ungraded misdemeanor. As his first DAI offense, he was sentenced to six months of probation and assessed a $300 fine and a $100 contribution to the substance abuse and education fund. Joseph Alan Davis pleaded guilty to a summary offense of harassment. He was assessed a $100 fine and ordered to complete an anger management class, which he did prior to Monday’s proceedings. Gina Marie Hayes pleaded guilty to theft by unlawful taking, a misdemeanor of the second degree. She was sentenced to four months to 24 months less one day of incarceration. She was ordered to undergo a drug and alcohol treatment evaluation and comply with any recommendations. Work release was approved for Hayes. Susan Lee Smith pleaded guilty to two counts of retail theft, misdemeanors of the first degree. The two pleas cover two separate cases against Smith. For each charge, she was sentenced to six months of consecutive probation for an aggregate sentence of 12 months of probation. She was also assessed $500 in fines and $575 in restitution fees, which had previously been paid. Eileen Louise Mecca and Dennis Kermit Sandberg were admitted into the county’s accelerated rehabilitative disposition (ARD) program.

In the final case, she was sentenced on seven retail theft charges and received 48 months of probation. All of the sentences will run concurrent to each other. Total restitution among the three cases is approximately $1,979.02. Given the large amount of restitution owed by Robison in Elk and Cameron counties, a condition of her parole and probation will be that she keeps employment and is able to make minimum payments on her restitution owed.

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton sees those GOP concerns about Trump as an opportunity to reach out to party moderates — particularly women — who may be so upset by the nominee that they're willing to look past policy differences and questions about Clinton's character. The president — who is enjoying heightened popularity in his eighth and final year in office — plans to campaign robustly for Clinton through Election Day. He and first lady Michelle Obama spoke at last week's Democratic convention in Philadelphia. The Khans also appeared at the convention, with Khizr Khan telling the story of his son, U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, who was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart after his death in 2004. Khan criticized Trump's position on Muslims and asked whether the real estate mogul had read the Constitution. For most politicians, tangling with a bereaved military family would be out of bounds. But Trump dove in, questioning why Ghazala Khan did not speak, implying her religion prevented her from doing so, and saying he was "viciously attacked" by Khizr Khan. Trump's criticism was part of a familiar pattern: He can't let go of a perceived slight, no matter the potential damage to his presidential campaign or political reputation. Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, a former prisoner of war, said Trump did not have "unfettered license to defame those THINKING GOLFING? Think Lakeview Lodge Treasure Lake! THINKING DINING?

"What does this say about your party that this is your standard-bearer?" No prominent Republican lawmaker responded to Obama's challenge. Instead, it was Trump stunningly withholding his support from top GOP lawmakers, including House Speaker Paul Ryan. In an affront to his party's top elected official, Trump told The Washington Post he wasn't "quite there yet" on an endorsement for Ryan in his primary next week. Trump's refusal to back Ryan exposed anew the deep divisions within the GOP and underscored that the businessman rarely plays by the traditional political playbook. Ryan has been among those urging Republicans to rally around Trump, despite concerns about his candidacy. Trump also said he was not supporting Sen. John McCain in his primary in Arizona, and he dismissed Sen.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a searing denouncement, President Barack Obama castigated Donald Trump as "unfit" and "woefully unprepared" to serve in the White House. He challenged Republicans to withdraw their support for their party's nominee, declaring "There has to come a point at which you say 'enough.'" While Obama has long been critical of Trump, his blistering condemnation Tuesday was a notable escalation of his involvement in the presidential race. Obama questioned whether Trump would "observe basic decency" as president, argued he lacks elementary knowledge about domestic and international affairs and condemned his disparagement of an American Muslim couple whose son was killed while serving the U.S. Army in Iraq. A chorus of Republicans has disavowed Trump's criticism of Khizr and Ghazala Khan and the Republican nominee's calls to temporarily ban Muslims from coming to the U.S. But Obama argued that isn't enough. "If you are repeatedly having to say, in very who are the best among us." Rep. Mike Coffman, a vulnerable Republican in a competitive Colorado district, said he was "deeply offended when Donald Trump fails to honor the sacrifices of all of our brave soldiers who were lost in that war." Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt said the Khans "deserve to be heard and respected." Obama argued those denunciations "ring hollow" as long as Republicans continue to back Trump in the White House race. Trump's response? On Twitter, he said, "President Obama will go down as perhaps one of the worst president in the history of the United States!" Sen. Mark Kirk, who is facing a tough re-election fight in Illinois, rescinded his endorsement of Trump in June after the GOP nominee criticized an American-born judge's Mexican heritage. Others, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Ryan, have broken with the nominee on individual issues but continue to back his candidacy.

The Hound, the daily papers and HEROIN — public meeting. Heroin…Horse, White Stuff, Boy, Dope, Smack…“Number 2.” It’s here and some of our kids are getting hooked on it. We are asking you to gather tonight. Ask your questions and get your answers. The event starts at 7 p.m. and goes on till about 9 p.m. The doors will open early, remember the last two events filled up quick [Don’t be too late]. Remember back when “heroin” was Harlan J. Beagley something only low-life, degenerate, Publisher street junkies from the back alleys of big cities were using and we only read about or saw it on television? They looked like zombies from “Walking Dead”…strung out. Now this junk has taken our kids, our neighbors and our little town. We need to do something about it. Tonight we can. This town meeting will have speakers from law enforcement and other groups that will answer questions and offer advice. “The speakers are McKean County DA Stephanie Shaffer, Magisterial District Judge David Engman, and Kane Chamber of Commerce Director Pamela Chatmon Miles. Special guest speakers are Jennifer Kirk, Jeff Menteer and Shannon Dippold. This should be a great meeting,” explained Denny Heindl, event organizer. The radio and the newspaper teamed up It is a problem here in Kane and down in Elk County as well. Some of our once promising, bright, productive people in this community are now addicted to heroin and living day-to-day lives on this deadly drug. Denny Heindl, the owner of The Hound WDDH 97.5 FM, and I are teamed up and I want to help this man any way I can. Between his radio stations and my three newspapers, The Kane Republican, The Daily Press and The Ridgway Record, we have a big voice to educate and try to do something smart. Bad news for dealers: Hotline for tipping-off police to drug dealers going well. 1-844-341-4400 — call now. “We have had a lot of calls. People are really coming out of the woodwork,” said Denny. He said he expected an arrest from the tipline would happen soon. However, it’s too soon to know all the results from the information as it comes in and gets reviewed [in some cases we may never know]. When we help law enforcement we make our streets safer. I’m sure the DA and our other invited speakers will update us. I am also excited to hear about all those new drug busts that we have reported on lately. Guest Commentary Trump vs. The Khans Donald Trump got sound advice the other day. At a rally at Davenport, Iowa, he told the crowd that a prominent supporter had called and urged him not to sweat all the attacks at the Democratic National Convention. "Don't hit down," the supporter urged, according to Trump. "You have one person to beat. It's Hillary Rodham Clinton." By Trump's account, he conceded the good sense of this, although he noted how he always prefers hitting back -- "it makes me feel good." If so, he must have enjoyed his weekend. He spent it attacking not just Khizr Khan, the Muslim father of a soldier killed in Iraq who spoke at the DNC, but his wife. In other words, roughly 48 hours after publicly sharing the advice he had gotten not to punch down, Trump delivered a flurry of downward blows the likes of which we haven't seen from a presidential candidate in memory. The old political and media rule is unassailable. When you are the bigger, more famous figure, you only draw more attention to a less prominent critic by engaging. If people hadn't heard, or heard about, Khan's short speech against Trump at the DNC before, they probably have now. In its unadorned righteous indignation, the Khan DNC speech was a stinging rebuke of Trump -- Khan suggested the Republican candidate hasn't read the Constitution, nor ever sacrificed anything for the country -- and the mogul duly acted stung. His first swipe was at Khan's wife, Ghazala, for standing silently at her husband's side during the speech (perhaps, Trump implied, she was forbidden from speaking as a woman?). In subsequently trying to tamp down the controversy, Trump stoked it further by saying Khizr Khan had "no right" to criticize him as he had and complaining about his viciousness. The Trump response predictably fueled an all-out media blitz by the Khans. It validated one of the main lines of criticism of Trump at the DNC -- that he is so thin-skinned, he can't be entrusted with the awesome powers of Today is Wednesday, Aug. 3, the 216th day of 2016. There are 150 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Aug. 3, 1966, comedian Lenny Bruce, whose raunchy brand of satire and dark humor landed him in trouble with the law, was found dead in his Los Angeles home; he was 40. On this date: In 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail from Palos, Spain, on a voyage that took him to the present-day Americas. In 1807, former Vice President Aaron Burr went on trial before a federal court in Richmond, Virginia, charged with treason. (He was acquitted less than a month later.) In 1914, Germany declared war on France at the onset of World War I. In 1916, Irish-born British diplomat Roger Casement, a strong advocate of independence for Ireland, was hanged for treason. In 1921, baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis refused to reinstate the former Chicago White Sox players implicated in the "Black Sox" scandal, despite their acquittals in a jury trial. In 1936, Jesse Owens of the United States won the first of his four gold medals at the Berlin Olympics as he took the 100-meter sprint. In 1943, Gen. George S. Patton slapped a private at an army hospital in Sicily, accusing him of cowardice. (Patton was later ordered by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to apologize for this and a second, similar episode.) In 1949, the National Basketball Association was formed as a merger of the Basketball Association of America and the National Basketball League. In 1958, the nuclearpowered submarine USS Nautilus became the first vessel to cross the North Pole underwater. In 1972, the U.S. Senate ratified the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union. (The U.S. unilaterally withdrew from the treaty in 2002.) In 1981, U.S. air traffic controllers went on strike, despite a warning from President Ronald Reagan they would be fired, which they were. In 1994, Arkansas carried out the nation's first triple execution in 32 years. Stephen G. Breyer was sworn in as the Supreme Court's newest justice in a private ceremony at Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist's Vermont summer home. Ten years ago: In Afghanistan, 21 civilians were killed in a suicide car bombing near Canadian military vehicles in a town market in Kandahar province; U.S. forces killed 25 Taliban in a raid in Helmand province. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, a soprano who'd won global acclaim for her renditions of Mozart and Strauss, the presidency. And his religiously fraught slap at Khan's wife and his rhetorical manhandling of a family who had sacrificed so much for the country reinforced the sense that he refuses to honor basic political norms. It's not that grief validates a particular point of view, or someone who has suffered a terrible loss should be above criticism. But the grieving mother or father deserves an extra measure of respect. This isn't just Politics 101, but Decency 101. President George W. Bush was gentle with Cindy Sheehan, the goldstar mother who became a fierce critic of the Iraq War. Asked on "Fox News Sunday" about two parents of State Department employees killed in the Benghazi attack who have criticized her -- including Patricia Smith at the Republican National Convention -- Hillary Clinton said first, "My heart goes out to both of them," and then countered their criticisms without making it personal. This isn't hard. Trump may figure he needn't bother because he has weathered so many other controversies that appalled critics on the left and the right. But the playing field is different when he is potentially three months away from being elected president of the United States, as opposed to a Republican primary contender among many others. It is one thing to beat Ted Cruz and his family about the head and shoulders -- he's just another pol -- but something else entirely to do it to the parents of an exemplary young man who sacrificed his life protecting others in Iraq. Trump believes, from his decades in the public eye in the media capital of the world, that it always pays to be on the attack. This isn't true anymore. The question no longer is whether he can garner headlines, but whether he can demonstrate his suitability to becoming commander in chief. The only one he's hurt by his assault on the Khans is himself. – Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: [email protected] (c) 2016 by King Features Syndicate Today in History The hotline number is 1-844-341-4400.

This crash occurred as unit 1, a 2010 Ford Ranger operated by Arthur G. Foster, 91, of St. Marys, was traveling north on SR948. As unit 1 was traveling north it began to enter into the southbound lane of travel, prior to negotiating a left hand turn. Unit 2, a 2003 Ford Taurus operated by Jane R. Dobrzanski, 57, of Hancock, Maryland, was traveling south and observed unit 1 traveling north in her lane of travel. Dobrzanski attempted to avoid contact with unit 1 by applying the brakes and traveling onto the berm with negative results. Unit 1's left front fend- er impacted unit 2's left front fender, causing unit 1 to rotate counter clockwise in the southbound lane of travel. The front of unit 1 rotated into the northbound lane of travel striking the left front bumper/fender of unit 3, a 2004 Toyota Solara operated by Savahnah Conrad, 19, of Ridgway. A bag with a chain located inside the back went airborne from the bed of unit 1 impacting the driver's side windshield of unit 3, causing damage. Unit 1 and unit 2 came to rest in the southbound lane of travel. Unit 3 traveled approximately 100 yards coming to rest in the northbound lane of travel. Martha A. Foster, 89, of St. Marys, was a passenger in Foster's vehicle. Both required EMS transport for suspected minor injuries. Charges to be filed for related traffic violations with District Court 59-302. Request Continued from Page 1 with one minute allotted until pickup at the next stop. The layout of the road consists of 10 houses at the beginning, about a half-mile stretch of land with no homes, then a single house, followed by the remaining houses at the rear of the road. Board member Jerry Zimmerman, a Fox Township resident, said the road is very dark in the winter as there are no streetlights. Many of the parents drive their students to the bus stop during the school year. The family who initially requested the stop resides on the road's culde-sac at the end of the road and are the parents of a first grade student. Last year, the family chose to transport their child to school. Two additional elementary families and one middle school family have also filed a request for the bus to stop further back the road. Zimmerman said bus drivers may have difficultly turning around on the cul-de-sac due to its shape, however one of the road's residents has a large driveway which could potentially be used as a turnaround point. The resident would have to sign off on a maintenance release stating they keep the driveway free of snow and ice and do not hold the district liable for any potential damage. School Board President Clythera Hornung suggested potentially offering a parent transport option in which they would be receive reimbursable mileage. Board member Kathy Blake inquired about having a van deliver the children to the bus stop. Carlson replied that many of the vans are used to transport special needs students living on roads not accessible by bus or who live beyond one mile from a bus stop. "You may also want to consider that if you have the bus go back Krise Road and we get another request that could do the same thing," Carlson said. Carlson said this adds three to four minutes for the bus to travel back the road and turn around and if more stops are added this would result in an additional nine to 10 minutes to the route One of the other requests Carlson denied included a similar scenario in Fox Township on Oak Street in Centerville Estates. The bus stop was also located about .9 miles back the road. Several board members appeared in favor of adding the stop due to it impacting three young children who would be required to walk over half a mile on a road which does not have houses on a large portion of it if anything were to happen. SMASD Solicitor Rick Brown added if the board recognizes a hazard for elementary age students they also have to recognize that same hazard for older students as well. Superintendent Brian Toth charged Carlson with checking on the availability of a van driver to transport the students and if the resident on the road would be willing to sign an agreement for use of their driveway as a bus turnaround. sonburg; one son, Scott Gelsick of Ridgway, and Beth Anderson and her children Amber and Simon Morris, also of Ridgway; two grandchildren, Jensen and Evan Furlong; and two sisters, Noreen Mann of Johnsonburg and Juliann Zilcosky of St. Marys.

His father, Jeff Wainwright, 44, said Tristan would only repeat movie lines and had severe communication issues. Tristan, who now is 14 and lives in Louisiana, was eventually diagnosed with autism. "I knew that he was trying to communicate with me this way, almost like the movies became his teacher," Wainwright said. "When I asked him a question, he would repeat a movie line back in a way that made sense. He's always been enamored with movies, and it's how he learned." Tristan's fascination with movies pushed him to research workshops, schools and anything that involved movies and filmmaking. Through his interest, he heard about the Joey Travolta Film Camp, which introduces the art of film to people with autism. Three years ago, he came to his first film camp in Pittsburgh, which is held for two weeks at Winchester Thurston High School in Shadyside. The Arts for Autism Foundation of Pittsburgh hosts the film camp for children and young adults who get an opportunity to learn about filmmaking. The camp is led by actor and director Joey Travolta, who is the brother of actor John Travolta. Joey Travolta, who began working as a special education teacher, said his experiences with autism and film production intertwined in 2003, when he mentored a student with autism who wanted to enter a film festival. "The film was from a kid with autism's point of view . what it's like to have autism. We made this 10-minute documentary called 'Normal People Scare Me,' " he said. "I started getting calls from all over the country, people asking me to come and teach their kids. I started doing these camps about 11 years ago and it snowballed from there." He and other volunteers teach people like Tristan, from ages 8 to 28, how to write screenplays, operate a camera and collaborate on a film. The camps have three age groups, and each group eventually produces a short film based off a set theme. Similar workshops are held in New Jersey, Florida and California. Wainwright said the experience for Tristan has been so positive that he has thought about moving his family to Pittsburgh because no strong programs for people with autism exist near their home. Travolta has seen many families like the Wainwrights travel long distances to his camp. He said the reason campers usually return year after year is because both children and parents feel part of a close family and are able to empathize with each other. "What we do in the adult program are also soft skills, life skills, social skills that you learn from film. Whether they're going to be filmmakers or not, you're thrown into it here," Travolta said. "With the workshops, I train people and eventually get employment for older campers. That's my full-time job now, finding production jobs and finding internships." He was primarily directing and producing films in Los Angeles before beginning filmmaking workshops. Carolyn Hare, director of the Arts for Autism Foundation of Pittsburgh, said the film camp relies heavily on community support. The filmmaking program started in 2011 with 12 campers and has grown each year. In the past two years, it has attracted more than 50 campers, with an additional 10 campers this year under the new Fourth Classroom program. Hare said the tuition for the film camp is $1,800, but the foundation has about $20,000, mostly from private donations and some grant funding, that it uses to provide scholarships to offset some of the costs. She said the foundation's next step is to open a career training program for individuals with autism interested in getting into the film industry. "It'll be a year-round program, likely 16-week trimesters," she said. "We're gearing this toward young autistic adults, folks who have graduated from high school. But, you know, I don't see why we couldn't get high school students to get involved." thibit, trimmed with black eustach braid, the coat being of the single breasted sack design. The new uniform will be worn in public for the first time next Wednesday when the Company goes to Smethport in their special train to participate in the 9th annual convention of the McKean County Volunteer Firemen’s Association. As special endeavor will be made to land the convention for St. Marys in 1917, Crystal Hose Company desires a large attendance at the Convention and has engaged the St. Marys Band, numbering 22 pieces, for the occasion. Many St. Marys people not belonging to the Company will accompany the outfit to Smethport and will work for a big attendance at next year’s event in St. Marys. Friday, Aug. 4, 1916 Squire Beveridge, Kersey’s imperial Justice of the Peace, is sitting on a case this afternoon which will probably decide for years to come the question as to right-of-way on Kersey highways. Last evening Sam Shaneen of Ridgway, while driving along the road leading to Dagus Mines, misjudged the position of an oncoming car owned by John Benson, of Kersey, and driven by Mr. Benson’s son Walter. The result of the misjudgment was a broken wheel, bent axel and other injuries for Mr. Benson’s Pullman and a severe shakeup for both parties in the jam. Mr. Benson caused Shaneen’s arrest and the hearing is being held this afternoon. Saturday, Aug. 5, 1916 Mr. and Mrs. Edward Andrews gave a birthday party yesterday afternoon at their home on Oilwell Street in honor of their daughter Ethel, it being her fourth birthday. Sixteen little tots were present and enjoyed a dainty luncheon which was served them on the lawn. Little Ethel received many beautiful presents. Ridgway Record – There was excitement aplenty on Main Street last evening, about 8:30 p.m., when Jack Dwyer was taken into custody and placed in the county jail. Dwyer, it is generally reported, has been making threats to kill and yesterday afternoon it was decided to place him behind the iron bars. In the afternoon he ran away from the officers and in the evening appeared on Main Street. Two revolver shots fired at his feet by T. H. Ledden brought Dwyer to a halt. In the past Dwyer has given relatives and the authorities much trouble. Several months ago he was arrested, only after a hot fight. Remembering all of this about eight men were deputized to get after him yesterday. The party was composed of Constable Jepson, C. Fred Dickinson, Deputy Sheriff May, T. H. Ledden, Willis Burhans, Chief Lobaugh, Patrolman Holmburg, and State Trooper Crosby. Dwyer eluded the foreo in the afternoon, but in the evening the party surrounded the house only to find that he had left. Later it was reported that he was on Main Street and T. H. Ledden accosted him in front of the Garritt block. Dwyer made a move as if to reach in his hip pocket for a revolver and it was then that Ledden fired near him. There was a great crowd on the street at the time listening to the band concert and a rush was made for the place. Ledden, Burhans, and Lobaugh got hold of him and had no trouble in getting the prisoner to jail. The charges against Dwyer are threats to kill and assault and battery. Dwyer has fits of mental aberration and will likely be committed to an asylum again. J. S. Speer returned this morning fro Lock Haven where he attended the annual tournament of the Lock Haven Gun Club. Yesterday’s Lock Haven Express says: “In the merchandise event, O. Eshenhauser, J. S. Speer, and D. H. Wagner were tied. In the shoot off, J. S. Speer won the first prize, which was a chest of Community silver.” Cents Continued from Page 2 pany has yet been affected. The miners, at a meeting held last Friday evening, voted to go to work again, pending negotiation, so that it is likely the matter will soon be settled satisfactory to both sides. This is the second time that the men have decided to go to work pending negotiations. The first time the men went out and remained idle for several weeks. They they decided to return to work and negotiations were taken up. No settlement was reached and the men again came out. The scale agreement provides that no negotiations can be carried on while the men were idle. After the miners came out the second time they remained idle until Friday, when they voted to return to work. It is believed that a settlement will be arrived at this time. General Manager Richardson has gone east on business, but expects to return the latter part of the week at which time the negotiations for a settlement will be taken up. Thursday, Aug. 3, 1916 The lawn festival, which was given near the Diamond last evening for the benefit of the boys of Company H., netted a neat sum which will be turned over to the boys with the least possible delay. The gross receipts of the affair amounted to $65.30. Deducting the cost of the ice cream there will remain at least $50 which will be devoted towards furnishing tobacco and other little luxuries to the brave boys who are braving the tortuous conditions of the Mexican border to uphold the dignity of the United States. About 35 young people enjoyed a picnic at Bucheit’s Grove on Benzinger Road last evening and it was a most pleasant affair. The crowd assembled at 8 p.m. and soon the deepened shadows of the sleeping woods were awakened by the rollicking laughter and jolly repartee of the merry revellers. The central attraction of the cuisine was roasten wiener-wurst, done to a turn by self appointed chefs. Everybody did justice to the repast which was served at 11 p.m. This was one of those really enjoyable affairs which come so seldom in a lifetime and all those present are hoping for an early recurrence of a similar event. The new uniforms, which the Crystal Hose Company bought recently through the Hall, Kaul & Hyde Co., arrived a few days ago and have been given out to the members. Everyone who has seen them is delighted with the natty appearance of the new outfit, which consists of cap, coat and trousers.

The New Bedford Bay Sox edged the Ocean State Waves 1-0 to claim the fourth seed in the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL) Southern Division on Tuesday night. The win advances the Bay Sox to the NECBL playoffs, and they will open play tonight against the Mystic Schooners, the top seed in the South Division. Brandon Schlimm went eight and two thirds innings for the Bay Sox in Tuesday night’s game. He gave up five hits while striking out nine. Schlimm faced 32 batters and threw 111 pitches, 84 of which were for strikes. Darrien Ragins came in for the save, facing one batter in the top of the ninth to record the final out. New Bedford scored the lone run of the game in the bottom of the third inning. The Bay Sox first game of the best-of-three series against Mystic is scheduled to get underway at 6:05 p.m. ATLANTA (AP) — Jung Ho Kang doubled in the tiebreaking run in a four-run sixth inning to lead Gerrit Cole and the Pittsburgh Pirates past the Atlanta Braves 5-3 on Tuesday night. Matt Kemp went 0 for 4 and ended the game with a strikeout in his Atlanta debut. Cole was coming off the first complete game of his career, a 10-1 win over Seattle last Wednesday. He wasn’t as dominant this time, but didn’t need to be against the major leagues’ worst offense. Cole (7-6) struck out four and allowed seven hits, two walks and two runs — one earned — in five innings. He threw 97 pitches, four more than he did in his complete game. Tony Watson, in his first game as Pirates closer since Mark Melancon’s trade to Washington, earned his first save since April 22, 2015. Phillies 13, Giants 8 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Aaron Altherr had a homer and five RBIs, Maikel Franco homered and went 4 for 4 and the Philadelphia Phillies used a five-run eighth inning to beat the San Francisco Giants 13-8 in a wild game Tuesday night. Altherr broke a tie with a two-run single in the eighth, Cameron Rupp hit a three-run homer and Cesar Hernandez added four hits for the Phillies. They blew a six-run lead before rebounding to hand the NL West-leading Giants their 12th loss in 16 games since the All-Star break. Philadelphia, which entered 29th in the majors in runs, set a season high. The Phillies’ 15 hits were two shy of matching a season high. Angel Pagan, Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt went deep for San Francisco, which opened Tuesday leading the Dodgers by two games in the division. The Giants began this nine-game trip hoping to rebound from their worst month of the season after going 10-13 in July. Will Smith (1-4), who was acquired from Milwaukee on Monday to bolster San Francisco’s bullpen, started the eighth with a strikeout before giving up an infield single to pinch-hitter Odubel Herrera and a double off the wall in right to Hernandez. Smith was lifted for Sergio Romo, who surrendered the go-ahead single up the middle to Altherr. Rupp blew the game open two batters later with his 11th homer of the season. Hector Neris (4-3) pitched a scoreless eighth to earn the victory. Giants ace Madison Bumgarner had one of his worst outings of the season but didn’t factor into the decision. Bumgarner allowed eight runs — four earned — on 10 hits in five-plus innings while striking out four and walking two. The Phillies jumped all over the four-time AllStar, taking a 6-0 lead through two innings. After Altherr’s two-run homer in the first, Philadelphia tallied four twoout runs in the second after third baseman Eduardo Nunez made an error. Altherr made it 3-0 with an RBI single before Franco’s three-run homer put the Phillies up six runs. The Giants battled back against Zach Eflin, getting a run in the fourth on Crawford’s 10th homer of the season before a five-run fifth tied the game at six. San Francisco scored all five runs with two outs. Crawford hit a tworun single and Belt tied the game with a threerun shot. Eflin left after five innings, having allowed six runs on six hits with four strikeouts and three walks. Tommy Joseph’s RBI single in the bottom of the frame briefly put the Phillies back ahead 7-6 before Pagan’s two-run shot in the sixth off Luis Garcia gave the Giants an 8-7 lead. Franco’s two-out single in the bottom of the frame tied the game at 8. On the Steelers: Shazier, Tuitt have Pirates beat Braves 5-3 behind Kang, Cole a chance to do something special (AP) – Which pair were the best two choices ever at the top of the draft by the Steelers on defense? They may be in the making right now. At least Ryan Shazier and Stephon Tuitt are on a path to stake their claim to it. That combination of Shazier at inside linebacker and Tuitt at end enters a third season that may help them become the best one-two draft picks on defense ever by the Steelers, a title that could reasonably be claimed by the first two draft picks under Mike Tomlin’s reign, Lawrence Timmons and LaMarr Woodley, in 2007. Both Shazier and Tuitt are ready to burst into the national limelight after solid and at times spectacular second seasons as the top two draft picks by the Steelers in 2014. Ben Roethlisberger, for one, voluntarily raved the other day about the play of Tuitt and his potential at left end. “I get my gauges by talking to my offensive linemen,’’ Roethlisberger said. “They can’t stop talking about Tuitt, just how good he is.” Tuitt and Cam Heyward also could be the best combo at defensive end in the Steelers’ 35year era of playing the 3-4 defense, rivaling the Aaron Smith-Brett Keisel one-two punch. They were one-two in sacks last season, the first time two defensive ends led the team; Heyward had 7.5 and Tuitt 6.5. “He’s a great player. We’re lucky to have him here,’’ center Maurkice Pouncey said of Tuitt. “He can pass rush, he’s really, really active in the run game, I think he’s going to be really, really great here. He’s going to be here a long time.” Right tackle Marcus Gilbert often squares off against Tuitt when the first teams practice against each other, especially in training camp. “Tuitt, I think he might be in my opinion the most underrated guy on the team,” Gilbert said. “If the guy stays healthy, he can be the most dominant player out there at end in a 3-4 defense.” A second-round pick from Notre Dame, Tuitt has the kinds of qualities that fit perfectly in a 3-4. “He’s a leverage player with great strength,’’ Gilbert said. “He’s young, too, and getting better each year. He has a lot of force. He can defend the run with power and he can rush the passer. It’s hard to defend that, especially to practice against that every day. He’s making me better and I’m making him better.” That athletic ability was on display when Tuitt turned the momentum around at Cincinnati last December when he intercepted Andy Dalton’s pass at the Steelers’ 7-yard line on the Bengals’ first series. And one of those Steelers linemen believes he’s picked up speed. “He looks like he got faster to me,’’ Pouncey said. “He’s beating linebackers to the ball. It’s impressive to see a big guy running like that.” It’s safe to say, though, he’s not going to beat Shazier to the ball. He is not only the fastest linebacker in the league, he may be the fastest on the Steelers, winning a footrace with other teammates in the spring. But everyone knew Shazier was fast. Could he play, and could he play the mack inside linebacker position at 230 pounds? Ankle injuries his rookie season limited him to nine games and a shoulder injury kept him out four games last season. But he says he has gotten stronger and after missing games three through six, he never missed another and his play picked up progressively. He finished with 3.5 sacks and was second on the team with 87 tackles despite missing one-quarter of the season. “Anything is possible for him,’’ Timmons said. “He’s a hell of an athlete.” Shazier starred Sunday in a blocking drill where the linebackers take on the backs and later said, “If it looks like I’m dominating, I’m not trying to embarrass the guys in front of me, I’m just trying to get better.” Timmons moved from the mack to buck linebacker fulltime and conceded the signal-calling to Shazier last year, and Shazier has earned his coaches’ trust in many aspects of his game. “I definitely feel like they have a lot more trust in me than they had in the past two years,’’ Shazier said. “They trust in my ability and my teammates do, too. It takes time to build that relationship. We’ve been building it and we’re going to show it this year. “I feel we’re going to have a Steeler-like defense this year.” If so, Shazier and Tuitt should be a major factor in its return.

(AP) — While many people around the league have questioned whether DeAndre Washington has the size to stick in the NFL, Raiders rookie running back sees his stature as a benefit instead of a hindrance. It certainly hasn’t taken the 5-foot-8-inch, 205-pound Washington long to make an impact in training camp. On the second day of practice, the 5-foot-8, 205-pound running back took a handoff from quarterback Matt McGloin and cut around the left corner then broke into the open field for a long gain. Two days later, Washington bounced back after getting bowled over by linebacker Cory James during a blitz pick-up drill and left James grasping at air with a nifty move during a team scrimmage. It’s that type of potential that convinced the Raiders to draft the Texas Tech standout and is why Washington is brimming with confidence in spite of what critics might be saying. “Being a smaller guy works in my favor,” Washington said during a break in practice. “Being behind those big guys, epecially when you put those paads on, makes it kind of hard to see me. It’s definitely a good feeling when I can hide and do my thing behind those guys.” Washington could wind up playing a pivotal role on a running game that was up and down most of last season. Latavius Murray was second in the AFC and sixth overall with 1,066 yards but the Raiders finished 28th overall in rushing. Part of the issue stemmed from a lack of committment to the running game and also from the inability of the backups to keep the ground game going when Murray came out to rest. That’s one of the primary reasons that general manager Reggie McKenzie and coach Jack Del Rio wanted to add depth to the backfield. They experimented with Trent Richardson in training camp a year ago then went with the tandem of Taiwan Jones and Roy Helu Jr. during the regular season. Jones and Washington have been splitting reps behind Murray in practice. Helu was placed on injured reserve before camp began after having surgery on both hips. Much of the focus, though, is on Washington, a fifth-round draft pick who rushed for 1,492 yards and 14 touchdowns during his senior season in college. “With the case of DeAndré and Jalen (Richard), some of the younger guys, we’re really learning about our younger guys,” Del Rio said Monday. “We’re learning about these guys that are new to us. We want to make sure that we’re really thorough with them, that we give them an opportunity to express who they are, let them compete, and then learn. We’re taking notes and we’re sharing the in- formation. As a football team, we want to make sure we take advantage of the individual talents that we have.” Murray looked strong in offseason workouts and made one long run up the middle during a scrimmage portion of practice on Saturday. Washington countered that with a few big runs of his own and believes he can be a nice complement to Murray in the Raiders’ backfield. “We both bring different skill sets to the table, so I think it makes it a little bit harder to game plan for opposing teams,” Washington said. “I’m looking forward to working with him and making plays with him.” Murray welcomed Washington’s arrival in the offseason and is confident the two can help improve Oakland’s ground game. “We know the expectations we hold for ourselves and the talk that’s been going around, but we know that right now it’s just talk,” Murray said. “The only thing that we can go out there and do is get better, come together as a team and put it all together so we can play and win on Sundays. Right now, it’s just on paper and here’s the time where we put it together and live up to the hype.” NOTES: Fourthround pick Connor Cook returned after attending a funeral on Sunday. ...

Sister Act: Cate and Bronte Campbell both chase gold in Rio RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Cate and Bronte Campbell are quite the sister act. The Australian swimmers are both leading medal contenders heading into the Rio Olympics, though they quickly point out this isn’t one of those sibling rivalries from the Serena vs. Venus Williams mold, the kind that stirs mixed emotions when they inevitably face each other for the same prize. “It’s very different (than) Venus and Serena because we’re not playing against each other on the tennis court,” Bronte Campbell said Tuesday. “We’re swimming in a swimming pool against six other people in the race. I’m not really racing against Cate. I’m racing against myself and trying to do my best race.” Still, they are keenly aware of just how remarkable it would be to stand on a medal podium together. “Look, it’s an incredibly special thing just to be competing in an Olympic Games together,” Cate said. “In 2012, after we qualified for the team together in the 50 freestyle, we both knew that we had achieved something great just by qualifying for the team.” Now, look where they are. Tw e n t y - t w o - y e a r old Bronte is the reigning world champion in the 100-meter freestyle, but 24-year-old Cate is the Olympic favorite after setting a world record of 52.06 seconds just last month. The dazzling performance caught everyone off guard, no one more than Cate’s little sister. Bronte described herself as “a little bit astounded,” before going on to say, “It wasn’t something that we thought was going to happen. I certainly didn’t expect it to happen. Our coach didn’t. Cate didn’t. I couldn’t believe that it happened. I wasn’t even at the pool when it happened. I got a phone call about it. I thought my dad was joking.” Even though Cate is riding high at the moment, she knows nothing is automatic at the Olympics. In her first trip to the games, at the tender age of 16, Campbell captured her only individual medal — a bronze in the 50 free — and also helped the Aussies take bronze in the 4x100 free relay. But she didn’t even make the final in the 100 free at Beijing. Four years ago in London, Cate was stricken by pancreatitis and had to withdraw from the 100 free. She did manage to compete in the 50 but was eliminated in the semifinals. The highlight was being part of the gold medal-winning team in the 4x100 free relay, an event the Aussies are again favored to win in Rio — especially with Bronte now part of the mix. “I’m almost more excited to race with Bronte in the 4x100 freestyle relay,” Cate said. “That will be a really great night.” Bronte agreed. “We’ve always really enjoyed racing together against the rest of the world, not necessarily against each other,” she said. The younger sister also was eliminated in the semifinals of the 50 free at London, but Bronte really began to carve out her own niche at last year’s world championships in Kazan. She swept the 50 and 100 free, and joined Cate on the winning 4x100 free relay squad. Not surprisingly given that showing, Bronte isn’t PFL wins in St. Marys men’s softball action PFL defeated W & H 7-2 in recent men’s softball action. The PFL squad put three runs on the board in the top of both the first and second innings to take a 6-0 lead. W & H got a run back in the bottom of the fourth and then scored again in the bottom of the fifth to cut the deficit to 6-2, but PFL added another run in the top of the sixth and held on for the 7-2 victory. B. Emmert, C. Zampogna, and K. Vogt each went 2-for-3 for PFL, while Hoggie and Gizmo went 2-for-3 for W & H. conceding anything to her older sibling. “It’s all about what happens at the final, who’s the fastest on that night,” Bronte said. “Cate is swimming well. I see her training every day. I know what she’s capable of. Breaking a world record is an amazing thing. I’m really proud of her for doing it. But it doesn’t really change anything for me.” Cate insisted she is merely focused on herself, not what her little sister is doing. “No one is going to be more upset if I don’t per- form than myself,” the older sister said. “I can’t speak for anyone else on the team, but it’s a very individual and a very selfish sport. I’ve kind of just shrug off all the other expectations because, in the end, it’s down to me. The rest of it doesn’t matter.” Deep down, both sisters have surely had dreams of standing together on the Rio podium, arm in arm, each with a medal around her neck. But they have to keep it buried, to ensure they’re both focused on what really matters.

The cost for the project is undetermined. Both projects could be submitted as LMI. Designating new slum/blight area and address issues (RDA) at an estimated cost of $67,000 as part of the Redevelopment Authority's request. One section of the city discussed as part of this project was the Brusselles Street area. Sewer line improvements in qualified areas of the city. Councilman Ned Jacob said he would like to see additional projects added to the list. They include removal of a railroad bridge located in the Stackpole Complex. The bridge is associated with being just one aspect attributed to flooding issues in the complex and along Fourth Street. Jacob estimated the cost to remove the bridge at $5,000, which he described as minimal. Another project includes the construction of an access bridge across Elk Creek, opening up the parking garage area to Brusselles Street. Gradizzi said she will check if they can get a different response from the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) about the bridge projects. Citizens comment period on the projects runs until Tuesday, Sept. 6 at 4:30 p.m. The city's past CDBG allocations from 2013, 2014 in the amount of $288,311 and 2015 in the amount of $274,500 are being used for the Mertz Avenue project. Gradizzi expects there to be remaining funding from the project which she said may be used for future projects. During the meeting, council unanimously approved to publicize an ordinance authorizing the issuance of general obligation bonds worth $5.195 million. They will vote on final adoption of the ordinance at their Aug. 15 meeting. City solicitor Tom Wagner stated in order for the city to issue bonds there have to be legal and procedural aspects fulfilled. He explained before any municipality can borrow money they must first adopt an ordinance authorizing the municipality to do so and submit information to the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED). The procedural aspect is taken care of by the investment bankers after the ordinance is approved. City Manager Tim Pearson is working with city staff to compile a list of anticipated capital im- provement projects for the next five years which may utilize CDBG funding. The projects are part of the city's five-year plan which started last year. Pearson plans to have an initial list of projects for the Aug. 15 meeting. He noted council will not be locked into those capital projects in August. Bond requirements dictate certain funds must be spent within six months of bond approval while the city has up to three years to expend the remaining bond funds. Council's next meeting is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 15 at 7 p.m. at City Hall. Projects Continued from Page 1 sible seating for sporting events, park equipment for youth and adults, and removal of roots at a downtown park to enter into a pavilion area with an estimated cost of $157,000.

CIRCULATION DEPARTMENT HOURS: Mon.-Fri. 8:00am - 4:30pm 13 www.smdailypress.com The Daily Press Wednesday, August 3, 2016 DEAR ANNIE® COPYRIGHT 2016 CREATORS SYNDICATE, INC. Dear Annie: I am a 49-year-old father of twins, a boy and girl. They are 18 and will be headed for college soon, and I am starting to get pretty worried about the nest being empty once they depart. I love my wife. Our marriage has been rocky at times, but we’ve stayed together. There’s been no infidelity or anything major. We’ve just had normal couple issues about quality time spent together and household annoyances, such as not emptying the dishwasher and leaving stubble around the sink in the bathroom. For the past 18 years, the kids have been our focus. In a few months, that focus moves out. I am worried about myself. These days, when I come home from work, I check in with the kids. I help with homework. I go to their basketball games. After they leave, I will have nothing to do. I am worried about my wife, too. Her life is these kids. She cooks for them. She drives for them (which is shocking, considering they both have their driver’s licenses). They are her world, and that will be gone after they leave. Yes, I am looking forward to spending more time with my wife, but there are only so many episodes of “House of Cards” we can watch. Is there anything I can do to prepare for this departure? -Deserted Dad Dear Deserted: Change can be a wonderful thing. It can also be terrifying, disorienting and sad. The key is to embrace it. Your kids will no longer depend on you the way they once did, but this means you can now have a relationship with them more akin to friendship. The more mature they become the more they’ll appreciate you and their mom. And they’ll still need plenty of help as they navigate the world of adulthood. You and your wife can use this stage to behave like newlyweds again. Go out on more dates. Relearn what it’s like to have free time. Most importantly, talk about the transition you’re both going through, as you are in a perfect position to understand and support each other. The nest isn’t totally empty as long as you’ve got each other. ) Dear Annie: I am a 14-year-old girl. I have known “Mia” since the third grade, when we instantly became the best of friends. Unfortunately, things have not been great with us lately because Mia spends so much time on social media. She has been constantly “chatting” with different people, who are complete strangers, over the internet. She has even met up with some of these people in person. I am worried that she may be putting herself in danger. What is so sad is that she has a messed-up family, and nobody is supervising her when it comes to social media. I am nervous that she will send naked pictures of herself or get lured into prostitution or something else terrible because she does not have good judgment and is not making smart choices. What should I do? Please help. -- Concerned Friend Dear Concerned: Your worries are totally justified. It’s not just that Mia may put herself in further danger; she already is putting herself in danger by talking to strangers online and even meeting up with them in person unsupervised. You need to enlist the help of your mom and dad. They can talk to Mia’s parents or other adults in her life who will look out for her best interests, such as a guidance counselor. Prepare yourself for the fact that Mia will be angry with you. But her safety is paramount, and she’s left you with no choice. You will look back on this and be glad you did the right thing. You are an amazing friend, and Mia is lucky to have you in her life. Send your questions for Annie Lane to [email protected].

Perhaps this person wants to play? TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Explore creative opportunities today. Accept invitations to party and enjoy sports events and the arts. Financial restrictions might limit your choice. (Ain’t it the truth?) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Lately, your busy pace has been exhausting. That’s why you welcome an opportunity to cocoon at home and enjoy the comfort of familiar surroundings. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today you’re full of bright ideas that you want to share with others. Late in the day, someone might discourage you, because this person is older or more experienced. Don’t let this happen. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Keep an eye on your finances today, because you might want to shop or explore financial negotiations. Whatever you do seems to be at odds with your social plans. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be aware that your reaction to others and daily events might be more emotional than usual today. Don’t worry about this -- it happens. (An older family member might discourage you.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Work alone or behind the scenes today, because this will suit you best. Your increased popularity lately has stretched you a bit thin. Take a rest! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Enjoy schmoozing with others today, especially younger people. A serious conversation with a female acquaintance will be important. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You are high-viz today -- people notice you. This suits you perfectly, because you have something to say. Don’t second-guess yourself and don’t hold back. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a fun day to discuss future travel plans. You will enjoy meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds because you want to expand your experience of the world. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Tie up loose details regarding debt, shared property, taxes and inheritances. Someone older than you might have strong opinions about this late in the day. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You have to compromise with others, because the Moon is opposite your sign. This is not a big deal. Just go with the flow. Late in the day, someone older might be opinionated. (Dodge this if you can.) YOU BORN TODAY You are confident, extroverted and independent. You are ambitious and serious about your work. You lead a busy life, but you are also very caring. In the next three years, you will experience a time of culmination, success and financial accumulation. That’s why it is wise to settle your debts this year. This is also a social year! Birthdate of: Maurice “Rocket” Richard, hockey player; Abigail Spencer, actress; Greta Gerwig, actress.

The Department of State said Tuesday it received the paperwork from the Greens' Jill Stein, the Libertarians' Carla Howell and the Constitution Party's Darrell Castle. Howell, the Libertarians' national political director, is a stand-in who plans to withdraw her name soon and be replaced by former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson. The person Policy submitted as vice president by the Libertarians, Ken Krawchuk, also plans to step aside, in his case in favor Johnson's running mate, former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld. The only third-party candidate to receive more than 1 percent of the general election vote in Pennsylvania in the last four presidential races was Ralph Nader, who reached 2.1 percent as a Green candidate in 2000. The Libertarian Party is also putting forward Edward Clifford III in the U.S. Senate race that pits Republican incumbent Pat Toomey against Democratic challenger Katie McGinty. Nominating papers were submitted ahead of Monday's deadline by 12 minor party or independent candidates for state House seats and two for state Senate. The Libertarian and Green parties are putting up candidates for Pennsylvania treasurer and auditor general. Libertarians also have filed for state attorney general and in two congressional races. The nominating papers can be challenged in court, similar to how major party nominating petitions can be challenged before the spring primary. Continued from Page 1 ported a full compliance rating from the Department of Corrections following a May 10 inspection which involves the review of policies and procedures, and a physical inspection of the facility. One “very minor revision” specifying bed capacity was made during the inspection which otherwise had no effect on the full compliance rating. The facility will not undergo another inspection until 2018. “It’s not possible to do by myself as the whole staff plays a huge part in getting us ready and keeping the facility running the way it is,” Gebauer said. Seeking to make improvements to the inmate phone system at the facility, officials opted to switch providers. The board has been using Securus for a number of years, but according to Gebauer, ownership has changed “probably 10 times.” He also cited unreliable customer service and turnover with the company’s representatives. “I had the opportunity to meet with another vendor, ICSolutions, they’re part of where we get our commissaries from, and they offered us a lot more in the telephone contract than what Securus offers us,” Gebauer said. ICS has offered us a deal where we could eventually hook up and automate our commissary ordering system. “The inmates would be able to get their account balance by picking up the inmate phone, and they’ll be able to order commissaries on the phone, and I believe we’ll probably make the same amount of money on commission through ICS than we do with Securus.” As part of the contract and installation process, ICS will swap out the Securus phones and send them back to the distributor and install all of their hardware as part of a contract. Officials anticipate the new hardware will go live Jan. 1, 2017. The board’s contract with Securus is a five-year deal with a 90day out, and the agreement expires Jan. 1, 2017. Gebauer noted commissaries are now ordered in a hard copy format on a weekly basis, and order forms are completed and faxed to the company. He believes the process will eventually be streamlined with the addition of ICSolutions. In addition to Gebauer, Deputy Warden Ed Warmbrodt also attended the meeting which was presided over by Elk County Commissioner Dan Freeburg, who also serves as prison board chairman. Other prison board members present at the Tuesday morning meeting included District Attorney Shawn McMahon, Sheriff Todd Caltagarone, Treasurer Peggy Schneider, and commissioners Jan Kemmer and Matt Quesenberry.

MARYS AREA HIGH SCHOOL d to Prou would be responsible for administering treatment the other six days. “For us to do this ‘home dosing’ program where we would only take her [to Clearfield] once a week, and then they’d give us the methadone in a lockbox which would be brought back to the facility for our medical staff to hand out for the six other days, we needed to sign off on that policy,” Gebauer said. “There is a process involved with state approval and once that was approved, we were able to start transferring her once a month. This something will will probably see more of. “It’s done for the benefit of the baby. When they’re pregnant and receiving methadone, they cannot come off that methadone as it would be harmful to the baby. That’s why we’re doing this.” The prison also may soon house NARCAN, a prescription medicine used for the treatment of an opioid emergency such as an overdose. “A lot of jails in Pennsylvania are now stocking NARCAN within their facilities,” Gebauer said. “I can think of a few times where it would have benefited us by actually getting an inmate off the street, and we were told they may have taken some drugs prior to them coming to jail. During the booking process, they’re not to a point where we received them that they needed immediate medical treatment, but as time goes on after booking and we get them upstairs and put into a cell, there have been times where we’ve seen them starting to progress more into the effects of taking an opioid. “At that time we’ve had to send them off to the hospital for treatment. There are a handful of times when I feel that having NARCAN stocked in the facility probably would have helped us out.” Gebauer is currently working on a policy for adoption to stock NARCAN at the facility. “I’m looking forward to having that stocked in the event that an inmate would suffer from a potential narcotic overdose,” he said.
