Crystal Fire Dept. outlines budget proposal
By Amy Cherry
Staff Writer
Increasing costs of apparatus
and equipment were cited by representatives of Crystal Fire Department regarding their 2016
budgetary considerations to St.
Marys City Council.
During the meeting, the fire
department asked council to cover a shortfall of about $117,000
in their savings which they
plan to use for the purchase of a
$600,000 fire engine.
The purchase of a new engine
will deplete the fire department's
capital improvement fund in
2016. Fire Chief Bill Kraus said
Engine 12, a 1979 Mack, should
have been replaced 10 years ago.
The CFD also requested longterm assistance in replenishing
their capital improvement fund,
which will be used for the new
engine, for use in anticipated
necessary equipment upgrades.
Councilman Ned Jacob proposed including an increase in
the 2016 budget draft for the fire
protection fund. Upcoming budget workshops will begin next
month during which time Jacob
emphasized council can choose to
remove the increase if they want
to.
"When you want to call the
fire department when your house
is on fire, when your cellar is
flooding, when you're in a car
accident and trapped, you want
them to be there and to have
the best equipment possible and
that's what we're trying to do,"
Jacob said.

On Monday, Oct. 5, state Rep. Matt Gabler (R-Clearfield/Elk) sponsored a condolence resolution to honor former state
Rep. Jim Distler, who died earlier this year. Distler, a veteran of the United States Air Force, served Clearfield and Elk
counties in the state House from 1985 to 1990. Pictured with Gabler are (from left) Speaker of the House Mike Turzai;

HARRISBURG (AP) — Gov.
Tom Wolf put a revamped tax plan
before state lawmakers on Tuesday, lowering his proposed income
tax increase to a half-point, cutting
the size of the gas extraction tax
he wants and eliminating a plan to
raise the sales tax rate.
State House members received
details less than a day before they
will have to cast votes on the freshman governor's bid to end a state
budget impasse that's already
dragged into a fourth month.
Wolf's proposal also includes
cuts for seniors and disabled people
in the property taxes that fund public schools. The administration said
the new money will close the deficit,
add about $400 million annually for
basic education and boost spending for county human services programs.
It remained to be seen if the
administration can line up the 102
votes needed for House passage,
which would require considerable
Republican support in a chamber
with just 84 Democrats.

Raising awareness for disabled workers
By Joseph Bell
Daily Press Editor
RIDGWAY – Elk County Commissioners on Tuesday morning
paid tribute to the county’s disabled workers while recognizing
National Disability Employment
Awareness Month.
Marsha Dippold, director of
employment support services for
Dickinson Center, Inc., was on
hand Tuesday to put the spotlight on the awareness month
that dates back 70 years.
The awareness initiative recognizes and celebrates the various contributions of American
workers with disabilities.
“This year’s theme is ‘My disability is one part of who I am,’”
Dippold said. “This year’s theme
encapsulates the important message that people with disabilities
are just that…people.
“Disability is an important
perspective that is brought to the
table but of course it is not the
only one.”
Over the past year, employment support services of Dickinson Center, Inc. have provided
vocation services for over 45 individuals in their four-county
region of Elk, Cameron, McKean
and Potter.
“In Elk County, we’ve serviced 24 disabled individuals in
their quest to obtain or maintain

Teen pulled gun
on college student,
prompting lockdown
PHILADELPHIA (AP)
— A teenager pulled a gun
on a student outside a
community college building Tuesday, prompting
a campus lockdown and
police search and leading
to the teen's arrest, police
said.
Police Commissioner
Charles Ramsey told reporters that there were
no reports of gunfire or
injuries following the
9:30 a.m. encounter at
the Community College of
Philadelphia.
Ramsey said it was
unrelated to an Internet
threat that had prompted
increased security at Philadelphia-area colleges the
day before.
"These are two individuals who have a history," he said. "They were
arguing over something.
At some point in time this
individual pulls a gun on
the other — not uncommon in Philadelphia, unfortunately."
After the student reported that the teenager
pulled a gun on him, the
Community College of
Philadelphia
campus
was locked down and administrators asked students and staff to shelter in place while police
searched buildings.
Shortly before noon,
a 17-year-old was apprehended without incident
in a classroom, Ramsey
said. It was unclear
whether the suspect was a
student.
Officers searched the
campus for a weapon but
reported later in the afternoon that none was found,
and Ramsey told reporters it was unclear whether any charges would be
filed.
"I was kind of freaked
out at first not really
knowing what to do," Lisa
LeCain, a student at the
college, told The Associated Press by email. "But
people around me were
pretty calm, and I figured
that as long as I would
stay where I was until I'd
know what to do, I'd be
kind of safe."
LeCain said she didn't
feel her life was in danger, but she "got scared ...
when I learned they apprehended to suspect in
the building where I was."
In May 2014, the
school was evacuated after police said a student
pulled a gun in a classroom in a confrontation
with another student.
On Monday, Philadelphia-area colleges and
universities
increased
security amid an FBI
warning about an online
diabetes care, medication
adherence for diabetes,
medication adherence for
high cholesterol, medication adherence for hypertension, weight management, osteoporosis
management in women
who had a fracture and
drug therapy for rheumatoid arthritis, among
others.
The physician offices were also evaluated
on ensuring patients
were informed about the
importance of annual
wellness visits and recommended screenings for
breast cancer and colorectal cancer.
“The Penn Highlands

New Pa. online voter registration draws thousands
HARRISBURG (AP)
— Thousands of Pennsylvanians went online to
register to vote or changed
their registrations in the
first year of the new system.
Monday was the deadline for registering to
vote in the Nov.3 general
election and Secretary of
State Pedro Cortés said
Tuesday that 32,428 people used the online sys-
tem. More than 20,000
were new registrants and
the rest were people who

On Aug. 27, Pennsylvania became the 23rd
state to allow online registrations.
Since then, two more
states - Nebraska and

Search for answers begins
in sinking of US cargo ship
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
(AP) — On board the 790foot El Faro when it set out
on its doomed voyage into
the path of Hurricane Joaquin were five Polish workers whose job was to prepare
the engine room for a retrofitting.
Could that work have
caused the loss of power that
led to the U.S. container
ship's sinking?
The vessel's owners say
they don't believe so, but the
question — along with the
captain's decision to plot a
course near the storm —
will almost certainly be part
of an investigation launched
Tuesday by the National
Transportation
Safety
Board into the disaster near
the Bahamas that may have
claimed 33 lives.
"We don't have all the
answers, I'm sorry for that. I
wish we did," Anthony Chiarello, president and CEO
of ship owner Tote Inc., told
reporters. "But we will find
out what happened."
The 41-year-old El Faro
was scheduled to be retired
from Caribbean duty and
retrofitted in the coming
months for service between
the West Coast and Alaska,
said Phil Greene, another
Tote executive.
The El Faro and its
equally aged sister vessel
were being replaced on the
Jacksonville-to-Puerto Rico
run by two brand-new ships
capable of carrying much
more cargo and emitting
less pollution.
When the El Faro left
Jacksonville on Sept. 29, the
five Polish workers came
along with 28 U.S. crew
members to do some prepatory work in the engine
room, according to Greene.
He gave no details on the
nature of their work.
But "I don't believe
based on the work they were
doing that they would have
had anything to do with
what affected the propulsion," said Greene, a retired
Navy admiral.
The NTSB dispatched
a team from Washington to
investigate.
"It's just a tragic, tragic
situation," NTSB vice chairman Bella Dinh-Zarr said.
The El Faro had no
history of engine failure,
Greene said, and the company said the vessel was modernized in 1992 and 2006.
Company records show it
underwent its last annual
Coast Guard inspection in
March.
The American Bureau
of Shipping, a nonprofit organization that sets safety
and other standards for
ships, did full hull and machinery inspections in February with no red flags, the
company said.
F. John Nicoll, a retired
captain who spent years
piloting the run to Puerto
Rico, said he doubts the age
of the El Faro was a factor,
noting that there are many
older ships plying U.S. waters without incident.
He predicted the NTSB
will look into whether company pressure to deliver the
cargo on time despite the
menacing weather played a
role in the tragedy — something Tote executives have
denied.
"Time and money are
an important thing" in the
shipping industry, Nicoll
said. He said there should
be emails and other messages between the captain and
the company to help answer
the question.
The Coast Guard, meanwhile, continued searching
by sea and air for any sign
of survivors. The ship is believed to have gone down in
15,000 feet of water after re-
porting its last known position Thursday. One unidentified body has been found.
Tote executives said the
captain, Michael Davidson,
planned a heading that
would have enabled the El
Faro to bypass Joaquin if
the ship hadn't lost power.
That left it vulnerable to the
storm's 140 mph winds and
battering waves of more
than 50 feet.
They said Davidson
was in regular communication before the storm with
the company, which can
override a captain's decisions.
Davidson attended the
Maine Maritime Academy
and has a home in Windham, Maine.
"He was a very squaredaway sailor, very meticulous
with details, very prudent,
which is important when
you're working on the water. He took his job seriously," said Nick Mavadones, a
friend since childhood and
general manager of Casco
Bay Lines, where he and
Davidson worked together.
Still, seafarers who
have long experience in the
Caribbean say its weather
can be treacherous.
years, but are finding that
the average 3.7 percent
increase in the annual
cost-of-living is pushing
equipment costs and operating expenses beyond
our ability to stay within
our revenue sources," as
stated in the CFD's report.
Jacob added the city
has not raised funding for
line items, including the
fire protection fund and
recreation board, in the
past 10 to 15 years.
"For those funds not
to have an increase in that
many years is a shame,"
Jacob said.
Kraus said the department has been keeping apparatus for 30 to 35
years.
They are also pursuing three grants to possibly assist with the purchase of the new engine.
The department postponed replacing the engine from 2012 to 2016.
They
considered
replacing it in 2014
and found they did not
have sufficient funds of
$525,000 which combined
all their available funds
from the city, the fire department and the St.
Marys Firemen's Relief.
They are now at a
critical point with the
engine as at age 37 it is
beginning to require increased maintenance.
In a move demonstrating their fiscal responsibility, the department
four years ago reverted to
a "pay-as-you-go" status
for new apparatus and
equipment after examining the costs of borrowing and the heavy burden
that placed upon the department's budget.
With the help of
Carol Muhitch, the city's
finance director, the department was able to
move their savings into
a capital equipment purchase fund in an attempt
to pay down their loans
and accumulate funds for
the purchase of new apparatus.
Every year the fire
department puts $40,000
away for capital improvements.
Kraus noted their
1985 rescue truck, previous to their current one,
cost $185,000 at the time
of purchase and in 2005
costs almost $600,000.

Commissioners
on
Tuesday morning also
approved a resolution to
make a grant request for
the Department of Community and Economic Development for a HOME
grant.
The request comes
from the county’s planning department, and
Richard Gavazzi, housing
and program specialist,
was on hand Tuesday to
explain the funding.
“We procure and utilize that money to assist
residents
within
Elk County who conduct
housing
rehabilitation
modifications to their
dwellings,” Gavazzi said.
“This addresses any code,
health or safety issues
that the dwelling may
have. Currently I believe
since 2009, we’ve done 16
projects with this particular program and we hope
to continue to procure
that money to assist these
residents.
“The way the rotation
has been going we’ve applied for this grant about
every four years.”
There have been various changes in the disbursement of this particular type of federal funding
which has limited the frequency that the planning
department applies for
the funding.
“We’re aiming to get
better and apply every
two and a half to three
years, but right now we’re
running about every four
years,” Gavazzi said.
Commissioners also
approved a request for
exoneration of 2014 per
capita taxes from Charles
Bloam, St. Marys City Tax
Collector.
Unpaid taxes total
$2,125 from the $5 per
capita tax. Commissioners report that some taxpayers were found to be
“deceased, some undeliverable, moved from the
area, moved within the
area and were unable to
locate, and hardships.”
Pontzer Avenue was lined with company houses and
owned by the St. Marys Sewer Pipe Company. These 27
frame houses were still unpainted when this aerial photo was taken on April 1, 1968. Pontzer Avenue was still
unpaved at that time. Theresia Street runs through the
top third of this photo and Stackpole Carbon Company
is at the top. Speer Carbon Company is just out of the
picture to the left. The houses on that side of the street
looked directly into Speer's ovens eventually as Speer
expanded. At this time, rents averaged $30 per month.
Proposal
Continued from Page 1
Council will consider
a .2 mill tax increase into
the city's 2016 budget.
The increase is equal
to a $10/year tax increase
per property owner of a
home valued at $50,000
or about $2 per year on
every $10,000 of assessed
property value.
Although some members of council questioned
Jacob's intent, his motion was unanimously
approved to insert the increase into the 2016 budget draft.
"Your fire department
has held the line on tax
increases for nearly 20

Guest Commentary
A (Not So Hidden)
Assumption
Another mass shooting
in the U.S.; Russia attacking whomever it thinks
most threatens Assad; the
carnage across vast swaths
of the Middle East, where
a Hobbesian chaos reigns
so complete that one can
no longer tell the players
apart enough to decide upon
rational strategic policy—
these disparate events are
united by one primal cultural
assumption: that humans
murdering other humans
represents an effective way
to resolve conflicts.
Someday we will understand how the grotesque
distortion of reality within
the mind of an insane person
spraying bullets randomly
among his innocent fellowcitizens is not all that different from Assad dropping
barrel bombs on his fellow
citizens. Or Putin dropping
bombs on whomever his
planes are targeting today—
or Obama firing extra-judicial missiles from drones.
Killing solves nothing. But
the not-so-hidden pervasive
assumption is that killing
solves many things—based
upon might makes right.
This is such a given in the
media that “objective” reporting of the “facts” doesn’t even
need to set violence in the
context of values—except
when the murderousness
results in unavoidable tragic
consequences like a mass
exodus of refugees. Journalism proudly seeks the objective, the “real.” The “real” is
a cold accounting of death
and dismemberment without
any possible blurring of the
“facts” by human values like
pity, compassion, and shame.
Whether motivated by
fear, revenge, offense as best
defense, or any of the major
rationalizations for the insanity of war or the insanity
of “private” murderousness,
humans live, move and have
their being within a vast sea
of justification of killing.
It extends into the highest
reaches of our technological
prowess, and thus we have
designed and deployed
extraordinary instruments
of death like the Trident
submarine, 600 feet of pure
potential destruction, a
kind of holocaust in a can
administered with an elite
and proud professionalism
that we would be happy to
see emulated elsewhere in
our institutions and activities. We justify the necessity
of this deterrent/first strike
bulwark, just as the others
who possess these infernal
machines--the Russians, the
French, the British, the Indians, and the Chinese--feel
equally justified in keeping
at the ready their own apparatus of mass murder under
the waves of the world’s
oceans. Even more nuclear
nations—Pakistan, Israel,
and North Korea--also keep
world-ending bombs in the
ground and/or on board war
planes.
This is our human paradigm on a small planet. But
paradigms can shift. We once
thought that drilling holes
in peoples’ skulls was the
most effective way to heal
chronic headaches, or that
werewolves were as “real” as
present journalistic “objectivity,” or that the sun revolved
around the earth, or that
cholera germs were airborne
and not waterborne.
We humans evolved
from mammals who slowly
learned compassion and
care for their young over
millions of years. Within the
ecological systems into which
these creatures fit, there is
constant conflict, but also a
level of cooperation in favor
of the survival and health of
the system as a whole. From
this life support system we
still have much to learn. And
the capacity to learn is native
within us, for we evolved
from the same system.
It is difficult to gauge
how much power for positive change is contained in
the mere phrase that killing
solves nothing. Surely the
vast majority of people believe it to be true. An impractical thought experiment can
be performed: imagine that
every news story about war
and murder simply began
with the phrase “Killing
humans solves nothing.” To
have a wide-ranging dialogue about whether killing
solves anything is to open the
door to as yet unimagined or
at least unchosen possibilities—and perhaps, someday,
to close the door for good on
humans killing each other.
Nuclear weapons are a
perfect place to start, because
it is so crystal clear that
their use in conflict resolves
nothing, and would inevitably make things a great deal
worse, worse even to the
extent of our very extinction.
It is past time for an international conference, attended
by those in the military and
in high civilian positions
in the nuclear nations who
are the decision-makers,
to address the perfectly
feasible abolition of these
obsolete weapons. Success in
this regard, so much easier
than the level of cooperation
required to mitigate global
climate instability, could
become a model of nonviolent
conflict resolution replicable
in regional and local domains, including addressing
the NRA-driven gun-culture
in the U.S. with commonsense laws. Killing solves
nothing.

Guest Commentary
Pope Francis vs. the “Demon” of Gender Theory
Pope Francis has returned to Rome after a
historic trip to the United
States. It was a fascinating endeavor. There have
been many papal visits to
America in my lifetime—in
fact, nearly all have been
in my lifetime, the first
occurring in 1965, the year
before I was born. None
of these, however, were so
heavily marked by political-ideological battle lines
among liberals and conservatives. Really, those lines
have been drawn boldly
on the left, with liberals
eagerly claiming this pope
as one of them, and many
conservatives granting that
concession.
Yet, neither side, in
truth, watches this pope
carefully enough. If they
did, both sides would be
surprised, shocked, and one
side—liberals—would be
horrified.
I’m referring specifically
to this pope’s remarkably
staunch criticisms of the
things he sees as threatening the family: What he
calls the “throwaway culture” of abortion, the “ideological colonization” and
“deforming” of marriage,
the “Satanic” adoption of
children by homosexual
couples, and the “demonic”
cult of gender theory.
Yes, those blistering
descriptions all belong to
Pope Francis.
I could detail any of
these here at length and
shock liberal sensibilities
and claims that this “leftist
pope” is one of them. After
all, I’ve yet to meet a liberal
who thinks that same-sex
marriage is the work of
“the Father of Lies.”
But I’d like to expend a
few words on this pope’s
ongoing war against
gender theory specifically,
and namely its attempted
introduction in Francis’
home diocese of Rome and
throughout Italy. This has
greatly upset Francis, the
extent to which we Americans (Francis’ critics and
admirers alike) are completely unaware. Now that
he is back in Rome, Francis’ battle against gender
theory will recommence
with zeal.
Of course, gender theory,
gender ideology, gender
studies, even entire gender
programs, have been all the
rage in American academia
for decades. Pope Francis,
for one, despises the very
concept. He has argued
constantly, consistently,
that men and women are
not only vitally different,
but that these differences—
ordained by nature and
God—constitute an essential complementarity that
husbands and wives bring
to marriage and family relationships and responsibilities. Under Francis’ direction last year, the Vatican
held an international-ecumenical conference solely
on this complementarity.
In a world and culture
that argues—and, in fact,
teaches—that men and
women and husbands and
wives and dads and moms
are interchangeable, if not
inconsequential, Francis
insists just the opposite.
To say he is adamant is an
understatement.
“Gender ideology is
demonic!” Pope Francis
insists. He says that it
militates against “the order
of creation.” He sees it as so
toxic, so destructive, that
he has compared gender
ideology to “the educational
policies of Hitler.”
In Italy, Francis has
become the spiritual inspiration for a nationwide
movement to banish gender
theory. This culminated in
a huge demonstration in
Rome this summer. As one
article reported, “Hundreds
of thousands of people from
all over Italy responded
to Pope Francis’ repeated
warnings about gender
ideology, by taking part in
an enormous demonstration in the square of St.
John Lateran in Rome on
Saturday. The ‘Family Day’
was aimed at defending the
traditional family and stopping the spread of gender
ideology in schools.”
Some estimates were
higher, as organizers hoped
to draw a million marchers.
“It’s fantastic,” said one attendee, a father of six from
northern Italy. “Finally,
people have gathered to
fight this terrible ideology.”
One organizer celebrated
from the stage, “The Holy
Father is with us,” as indeed he was.
The speaker held forth
under a giant banner that
read in Italian: “Difendiamo i nostri figli. STOP
GENDER nelle scuole.”
Translation: “Defend our
children. STOP GENDER
in the schools.”
We must understand
that Pope Francis views
gender theory as not just
some feminist thing he
doesn’t like. He sees it as
a direct threat to family
and marriage. And as he
said to the joint session
of Congress during his
recent visit, “I cannot hide
my concern for the family, which is threatened,
perhaps as never before,
from within and without.
Fundamental relationships are being called into
question, as is the very
basis of marriage and the
family.” He told President
Obama and the crowd that
greeted him at the White
House that he had come to
the country specifically “to
celebrate and support the
institutions of marriage
and the family at this critical moment in the history
of our civilization.”
Well, to this pope, gender
theory is a major threat to
the institutions of marriage
and family at this critical
moment. In this, and still
more, liberals might want
to pause a bit before transforming Pope Francis into
their poster boy.

Today in History
Today is Wednesday, October 7, the 280th day of
2015. There are 85 days left
in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On October 7, 1985, Palestinian gunmen hijacked
the Italian cruise ship
Achille Lauro (ah-KEE'-leh
LOW'-roh) in the Mediterranean. (The hijackers
killed Leon Klinghoffer, a
Jewish-American tourist,
before surrendering on October 9.)
On this date:
In 1765, the Stamp Act
Congress convened in New
York to draw up colonial
grievances against England.
In 1849, author Edgar Allan Poe died in Baltimore at
age 40.
In 1858, the fifth debate
between Illinois senatorial
candidates Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas
took place in Galesburg.
In 1940, Artie Shaw and
his Orchestra recorded
Hoagy Carmichael's "Star
Dust" (as it was spelled
then) for RCA Victor.
In 1949, the Republic of
East Germany was formed.
In 1954, Marian Anderson became the first black
singer hired by the Metropolitan Opera Company in
New York.
In 1960, Democratic
presidential candidate John
F. Kennedy and Republican
opponent Richard Nixon
held their second televised
debate, this one in Washington, D.C.
In 1979, Pope John Paul
II concluded his week-long
tour of the United States
with a Mass on the Washington Mall.
In 1989, Hungary's Communist Party renounced
Marxism in favor of democratic socialism during a
party congress in Budapest.
In 1991, University of
Oklahoma law professor
Anita Hill publicly accused
Supreme Court nominee
Clarence Thomas of making
sexually inappropriate comments when she worked for
him; Thomas denied Hill's
allegations.
In
2004,
President
George W. Bush and Vice
President Dick Cheney conceded that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass
destruction as they tried to
shift the Iraq war debate to
a new issue, arguing that
Saddam was abusing a
U.N. oil-for-food program.
Ten years ago: The Nobel
Peace Prize was awarded
to the International Atomic Energy Agency and its
chief, Mohamed ElBaradei
(ehl-BEHR'-uh-day). Actorcomedian Charles Rocket
was found dead in a field
near his home in Canterbury, Connecticut, an apparent suicide; he was 56.
Five years ago: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie canceled construction of a de-
cades-in-the-making train
tunnel between New Jersey
and Manhattan, citing cost
overruns that had ballooned
the price tag from $5 billion to $10 billion or more.
A toxic red sludge that had
burst out of a Hungarian
factory's reservoir reached
the mighty Danube after
wreaking havoc on smaller
rivers and creeks.
One year ago: North Korea publicly acknowledged
to the international community the existence of
its "reform through labor"
camps, a mention that appeared to come in response
to a highly critical U.N.
human rights report. Two
Japanese scientists, Isamu
Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano, and a naturalized American, Shuji Nakamura, won
the Nobel Prize for physics
for inventing a new kind of
light-emitting diode (LED)
that promised to revolutionize the way the world lighted its offices and homes.

“To come to Yankee

Aggressive from the
start in their first playoff
appearance as an American League club and for
the first time since being

Astros came out swinging
against Masahiro Tanaka

Rasmus sent Tanaka’s

Lady Dutch top Lady Crusaders in crosstown matchup
By Becky Polaski
Staff Writer
Aside from a roughly
three-minute span near
the end of the first half
when the Lady Dutch
scored all three of their
goals, Tuesday afternoon’s crosstown rivalry
matchup between Elk
County Catholic and St.
Marys Area was about as
evenly played as possible.
Both teams had a number
of opportunities in both
halves, but in the end it
was the Lady Dutch who
came away with the 3-0
victory.
“The records don’t
mean anything when
these two teams play,”
said St. Marys Area head
coach Eric Bridges. “The
girls were ready. I give a
lot of credit to ECC. They
came in with a lot of fire,
probably a little bit more
than we did. But we were
resilient. We held our own,
got a couple of breaks, got
some good shots, and got
ahead. I was pleased because we got to play a lot
of our reinforcements today. We’re going to need
them in the tail end of the
season.”
Bridges also credited
the Lady Crusaders for
their level of play in the
match, which was held on
their home field at Benzinger Park.
“I was really impressed with how they
(ECC) were coached today,” Bridges said. “We
just executed a little bit
better.”
The Lady Crusaders
outshot the Lady Dutch,
especially in the second
half, but St. Marys keeper Rachel Bauer came up
with a lot of big saves,
sometimes with a little
help from the crossbar or
one of the posts.
“She (Bauer) made
some really nice saves
and the crossbar gave
them (St. Marys) two
saves and the post gave
them a save,” said ECC
head coach Dr. Chris Cole.
“That’s soccer.”
Bridges also remarked
that Bauer played one of
her better games in helping the Lady Dutch record
the shutout.
“She was dialed in,
and we needed her,”
Bridges said. “ECC put
on some really good pressure, and short of a couple
of nice saves by Rachel the
outcome probably could
have been different.”
There was fairly even
play throughout much
of the early part of the
match, and one of the
Lady Crusaders’ best scoring chances came with
22:17 remaining until the
break when Grace Bobby
sent a nice, high shot toward the Lady Dutch goal.
The ball looked like it was
set to come in just under
the crossbar, but Bauer
was able to get a hand on
it and hit it up and over
the goal. ECC was unable
to get a shot on the ensuing corner kick, and the
match remained scoreless
until 10:24 remaining until the half.
All three of St. Marys
Area’s goals came in fairly
quick succession. Kaitlyn
Barackman returned to
action after an absence
of a few games, and she

scored her first goal of the
match with a nice shot
just out of the reach of the
outstretched arm of ECC
keeper Makenzie Cashmer with 10:24 remaining
in the half. Nicole Muccio
made St. Marys Area’s
lead 2-0 nearly two minutes later when she scored
with 8:29 left on the clock,
and then Barackman
scored again with 7:41 left
in the half to put the Lady
Dutch ahead 3-0.
The Lady Crusaders
had another good chance
to answer with about
eight seconds remaining
as they had a shot hit off
the crossbar, but the ball
ended up landing back
out on the field and being
cleared by the Lady Dutch
defense.
Elk Catholic turned
up the pressure in the
second half and the action took place mostly on
St. Marys Area’s end of
the field, but try as they
might they could not find
the back of the net.
The Lady Dutch almost added another goal
with 23:22 left to play as
a shot hit off the crossbar
and ricocheted straight
down. Cashmer was able
to catch the ball on the
bounce and keep it from
finding the back of the
net.
Bauer also continued
her stellar play in goal
for St. Marys, and she did
everything she possibly
could to keep ECC off of
the board. With 3:39 left
to play, the Lady Crusaders had a shot hit off of
the post to Bauer’s right
and the ball came back
out onto the field. It was
hit out of bounds by one
of the Lady Dutch players, resulting in a corner
kick, but Elk was unable
to turn the opportunity
into a goal.
“Our stats showed we
outshot them like 12-3
in the second half,” Cole
said. “You’re not going to
score unless you shoot,
so we’re getting the shots
and we’re getting good
opportunities. They have
a very nice keeper, and I
just compliment her on
playing a very good game.
I think she’s an upperclassman, so she’s got the
wisdom and the skill. I
think both teams played
well. It was a nice, clean
game. I like to see that.
There weren’t a lot of
fouls. We hate to lose, but
I like to see a good, clean
soccer game, and that’s
what it was.”
The Lady Dutch held
on to come away with the
3-0 win to improve to 9-41 on the season. They will
be back in action today for
their third game in a row
and fourth in the last five
days when they travel to
Kane to take on the Lady
Wolves in a 4 p.m. match.
The Lady Crusaders will be back in action
Friday when they host
DuBois Central Catholic
in a 4 p.m. match at Benzinger Park.
Strong second half sends Crusaders past Dutchmen 3-1
By Becky Polaski
Staff Writer
KERSEY – Soccer
fans were treated to an
exciting matchup between
the Elk County Catholic
Crusaders and St. Marys
Area Flying Dutchmen
on Tuesday night under
the lights at Angela Huey
Memorial Field at Fox
Township
Community
Park. Both squads played
a hard, physical match
and were tied 1-all at the
break before ECC pulled
away with a pair of goals
by Valentyn Wolfe in the
second half to win 3-1.
ECC head coach TJ
Weaver remarked that he
thought his team played
very well in the match
and added that he was
pleased with their progress.
“Even when we get
down or the other team
ties it, we’re believing
that we’re still in every
game,” Weaver said of his
squad.
It was the third time
the two teams faced each
other this season, and
Weaver also noted that
the Dutchmen were much
improved from their last
meeting. He added that
St. Marys head coach
Russ Micale has been doing a great job with his
team.
“I thought the guys
played well tonight,” Micale said of his team.
“The first half was an exceptional half. The boys
played really, really well.
That was probably the
best half we’ve put together all year. The second
half they played tough,
but we got caught pushed
up a little bit too much on
the one goal and the other
goal was a nice goal, but
all in all the guys played
well.”
Both teams were able
to take a few early shots,
but the match remained
scoreless until just past
the midpoint of the first
half when Charlie Bobby put a shot past St.
Marys Area keeper Caleb
Barackman to give the
Crusaders a 1-0 lead with
19:09 left until the break.
ECC held the lead for
nearly 10 minutes before
the Dutch found a way
to knot the score at 1-all.
ECC keeper Patrick Hoffman tried to dive to his
right to block a shot by
Dutchman Isaac Caretti,
but the ball was just out
of his reach and ended up
in the back of the net resulting in a tie-game with
9:22 left in the half.
Both teams had a few
more nice chances in the
final minutes of the half,
but the teams headed into
the break with neither
holding an advantage.
The Crusaders turned
up the pressure in the second half and they retook
the lead for good with
30:27 on Wolfe’s first goal
of the match. He was taking the ball up the middle
of the field flanked by
a Dutch defender when
Barackman came out to
try to take the ball to
prevent a shot. However, Wolfe was able to get
the shot off just before
Barackman came sliding
at him, so the ball went
over Barackman and into
the empty net to put ECC
ahead 2-1.
The final goal of the
match came with 22:30
left on the clock. There
was a scramble in front
of the Dutch goal as Bobby had a nice shot hit off
the post to Barackman’s
right. Tony Pollick was

Flanked by a Dutch defender, Crusader Valentyn Wolfe, 10, was able to get a shot
off just before St. Marys Area keeper Caleb Barackman got to him in an attempt to secure the ball. Wolfe’s shot fount its mark in the back of the empty net, giving the Crusaders a 2-1 advantage early in the second half of Tuesday night’s match.
able to get to the ball and
passed it to Wolfe, who
put a second chance shot
past Barackman to put
the Crusaders up 3-1.
Both teams had a few
more nice opportunities
throughout the remainder
of the contest, but both
keepers stepped up and
made sure no other shots
found the back of the net.
Now 10-2, the Crusaders will return to action Thursday when they
travel to Smethport for a
4 p.m. match against the
Hubbers.
The Dutchmen, 5-7,
will also be back in action
Thursday when they host
the Port Allegany Gators
in a 4:30 p.m. match at
the SMAHS soccer field.

KANE — The Kane
varsity volleyball team
was working on all cylinders in Tuesday night’s
match against St. Marys.

team in three straight
sets, 25-21, 25-23 and

early lead, 12-6. The
Lady Wolves got to within four on a tip for a point
by Trinity Clark. A couple of kills by St. Marys’
Keara Shrefler put the
Dutch up 18-11, but the
home team rallied to get
back into the set. Senior
Danielle Payne made a
nice save during a long
point that the Lady
Wolves ended up winning to cut the deficit to
five, 19-14. That was followed by a kill by Kendra Udovich and a set
over the net that hit the
floor by Ashley Jordan to
continue the Kane run.
Kills by Alaina Barner
and Clark and an ace by
Jordan knotted the contest at 20.
Jordan gave Kane
its first lead of the game
after another ace on the
next point, then made a
nice backset to Clark for
a kill. A net violation by
the visitors, a St. Marys’
bad pass and an ace by
Sadie Tunall completed
the comeback for the
Lady Wolves.
Shrefler was hot ear-
ly in the second set for
the visitors. A kill by the
Dutch middle hitter and
an ace when she rotated
around had St. Marys up
8-4 early. Kane would go
on to score the next five
points, however, with
Marcie Stanisch at the
service line.
The Lady Wolves led
by four, 20-16, when the
Lady Dutch went on a
5-0 run. Maggie Martin
started the rally with a
crosscourt kill, followed
by a kill from Caitlyn
Bankovich and an ace by
Shrefler. St. Marys took
the lead, 22-21, late on
a kill by Bankovich off a
Kane blocker and a block
by Martin and Rachelle
Armini. Barner stopped
the rally with a kill off
the blocker to pull Kane
within one, before a St.
Marys’ set over the net
sailed out of bounds
to tie it up. The Lady
Wolves closed out the set
with kills by Clark and
Barner to give them a
two-set lead.
Coach
Kessler’s
squad never trailed in
the final set, jumping
out to a 7-4 lead on a kill
by Camryn Cummings
off of a back slide. Martin had a kill that rolled
over the block to get
the Lady Dutch within
one, 7-8, but after a St.
Marys attacking error,
Jordan stepped to the
service line and reeled
off a nine-point run to
give the Lady Wolves
a nice cushion. A couple of booming kills by
Zampogna late in the
game helped get Kane to
match point and a bad
pass by the Dutch finished it off.

Upstart Cubs face steady Pirates in NL wild card
PITTSBURGH (AP)
— The hot, young talent.
The emerging ace with
the electric stuff. The relentlessly upbeat manager. The giddy relief that
comes with washing away
years of futility.
Yeah, Andrew McCutchen has seen this
script before.
Two years ago, it
was star center fielder
and the rest of the Pittsburgh Pirates who found
themselves as baseball’s
new darlings when they
crashed the playoffs for
the first time in two decades.
Now it’s the Chicago
Cubs, whose rebuilding
project hit warp speed
somewhere between Joe
Maddon’s hire last winter
and rookie slugger Kris
Bryant’s arrival in April.
“They’ve opened a
lot of eyes,” McCutchen
said. “We were the hype
in 2013. Look at what we
did. Everybody was on us
... now it’s ‘Let’s talk about
the Cubs.’”
The
Pirates
can
change the subject quickly Wednesday night in the
NL wild-card game. The
winner gets the St. Louis
Cardinals in the Division
Series starting Friday.
The clubs that combined for 195 wins both
believe they can make
a run provided they can
survive baseball’s version
of a high-wire coin flip.
Heady territory for
two franchises that have
spent most of this millennium taking turns at the
bottom of the NL Central.
Those days have long
since passed in Pittsburgh, making its third
straight playoff appearance. The Cubs hope to
say the same thing in
Chicago regardless of a
history filled with curses — from billy goats to
black cats to Steve Bartman — and a World Series drought at 107 years
and counting.
The weight of failure,
however, hardly appears
to be wearing on a team so
loose Cy Young candidate
Jake Arrieta took to Twitter to tweak the Pirates’
fan base after a parody
account warned him of
what was coming at what
is sure to be a rowdy PNC
Park.
Arrieta tweeted back
“whatever helps keep
your hope alive, just know
it doesn’t matter.” Don’t
get
the
well-bearded
29-year-old who led the
majors with 22 wins and
posted an 0.75 ERA after
the All-Star break — no,
that’s not a typo — wrong.
He wasn’t guaranteeing
victory so much as trying
to savor a moment he believed would come even if
others did not.
The tall right-hander
who never seemed to fit
in early in his career in
Baltimore has supplanted
Jon Lester as Chicago’s
No. 1 starter.
When he’s on, Arrieta
is borderline unhittable.
The Pirates managed a
lone single off him in a 4-0
Cubs’ win on Sept. 27 and
Arrieta has allowed four
earned runs combined
since Aug. 1.
That success has sent
his confidence soaring.
There isn’t any one thing
that’s changed from those
difficult years with the
Orioles. He simply matured, tweaking his delivery and his mental approach. It’s all about the
now. Not the last pitch.
Not the next one. This
one.
In that sense, Arrieta
will face a kindred spirit
in Pittsburgh starter Gerrit Cole.
Unlike Arrieta, a late
bloomer, Cole has been
groomed for this stage
from the day the Pirates
took him with the first
overall pick in the 2011
draft. He hasn’t missed a
beat any step of the way
and made the All-Star
team for the first time this
summer while becoming
the first Pittsburgh pitcher to reach 19 victories
since 1991.
“He respects everything about the game but
he fears absolutely nothing,” Pirates manager
Clint Hurdle said. “That’s
a wonderful place to be.”
A destination that
took some work for Cole
to arrive at. The fire that
so visibly fuels him — few
pitcher in baseball take
their jobs so personally
— would sometimes singe
Cole during his first two
years in the league. Not
anymore.
Catchers
Francisco
Cervelli and Chris Stewart have learned to quickly decipher when Cole is
in need of a reset. At that
moment they leap out of
their crouch to give the
25-year-old a pep talk.
Such visits are increasingly rare, a testament to Cole’s consistency
and the way he’s attacked
perhaps his biggest weakness.
“When
something
would go wrong, he would
sometimes channel that
into a negative,” Stewart
said. “He’s taken that energy and that edge and
tried to turn it into a positive.”
Any missteps will be
magnified against Arrieta, whose historic second
half propelled the Cubs
to 97 victories, a number Maddon admitted is
“pretty extravagant.”
All it did was earn
Chicago a chance at one
more.
At some point late
Wednesday night or early
Thursday morning the
team with one of the three
best records in the majors
will see its season end.
Maybe it will be the group
whose future is brightening by the day. Maybe it’ll
be the group who has shed
the upstart label for something more permanent.
Whether it’s fair or
not, remains a tossup.
Maddon would prefer
a best-of-three for this
round. Hurdle is OK with
the current format, perhaps because he’s gotten
so used to it — the Pirates
lost this game last year,
at home, to the eventual
champion San Francisco
Giants.
Both the Pirates and
Cubs spent most of the
summer stalking but never quite catching the Cardinals. A win provides a
second chance.
“There’s a lot of luck
involved,” Cole said. “But
there’s a lot of little details that matter. And the
team that takes care of
those the best comes out
on top usually.”

Phone app allows researchers to conduct concealed food safety observations
UNIVERSITY PARK
– Smartphones have become so ubiquitous, and
text messaging and social
media activities so common in public places, that
rarely does anyone pause
these days to ponder what
a person is doing with their
phone. That pervasiveness
allows a phone application
-- or app -- to be used in
direct, concealed observations without alerting the
people being observed.
That's the conclusion
of food science researchers
in Penn State's College of
Agricultural Sciences, who
studied whether phones
could be used in place of
the traditional clipboards
to improve the quality of
data collection related to
food safety observations.
Food safety practices
employed by food handlers often are monitored
for research, inspection
and regulatory purposes.
However, if surveillance is
not concealed, it can result
in unintended behavioral
changes, according to study
co-author Catherine Cutter, professor of food science. Those changes commonly are referred to as the
Hawthorne Effect and can
render such observations
meaningless.
"Direct concealed observations have been used
to minimize the Hawthorne Effect during observational data collection in
various settings, but some
limitations can include the
need to memorize observations or take notes out
of sight of those being observed," said Cutter, a food
safety specialist with Penn
State Extension. "In our research, we describe a newly
developed smartphone and
tablet application for use
as a data collection tool for
direct concealed observations."
The researchers, who
recently published their
findings in the journal
Food Protection Trends,
worked with a smartphoneapplication developer to
create an app that includes
features needed to document direct concealed observations of food handlers,
including the creation of
checklists to record aspects
such as hand hygiene, the
adequacy of hand-washing
facilities, the temperature
in coolers holding readyto-eat foods and the presence of potentially hazard-
ous foods. The app allows
observers to easily add
photos, audio, videos and
open-ended notes to their
reports.
To evaluate the use of
smartphones as inconspicuous data collection tools,
the researchers developed
and disseminated a short
survey to assess public
perceptions of smartphone
use in a retail setting. Participants viewed images of
individuals using either a
smartphone or a clipboard
in a retail environment and
provided open-ended responses.
Ninety-five
percent
of participant responses
indicated that images of
clipboard use in a retail
setting suggested evaluative activities -- research,
inspection, and so forth
-- whereas none of the participants indicated that images of smartphone use in
the same environment suggested evaluative activities, noted lead researcher
Robson Machado, a doctoral candidate in food science.
"We are so into our
phones today, and everyone has one and carries it
around, so it easily can be
used as a nonthreatening
tool to make direct, concealed behavioral observations, and no one will ever
realize you are doing it," he
said. "An observer just can
pretend to be texting or fiddling with the phone, while
monitoring the interactions
between customers and
workers in retail establishments, such as supermarket delicatessens."
These results demonstrate, Machado explained,
that use of a smartphone
for data collection in a retail setting might not be
perceived as an evaluative activity and that its
application during direct,
concealed
observations
could minimize behavioral
changes among subjects
being observed.
"This study should be
of interest to researchers,
regulatory personnel and
food industry professionals
who are seeking ways to
evaluate the food safety behaviors of food handlers,"
he said.
The research was supported by Penn State Extension, the College of Agricultural Sciences and the
U.S. Department of Agriculture.
got to vote somebody off the
island, and if it's going to be
broad-based tax increases,
so be it," Reed said.
Rep. Joe Markosek
of Allegheny County, the
ranking Democrat on the
Appropriations
Committee, said he expected his
members to unanimously
support the governor's new
approach.
"I think most of our
members understand that
we have to do something,"
Markosek said. "We're facing horrendous cuts."
In the Capitol on Tuesday afternoon, Wolf declined to say how his hunt
for GOP votes was going.
Under Wolf's plan, the
state income tax rate would
increase from 3.07 to 3.57
percent, while the natural
gas drilling tax would be 3.5
percent, plus 4.7 cents per
thousand cubic feet. The
state's existing impact fee
on gas drilling, which is targeted to areas where the activity occurs, would be untouched. Wolf would cancel
a provision in existing law
that ends the impact fee if
a severance tax is enacted.
The
administration
said the tax package would
raise more than $1.4 billion for the fiscal year that
started July 1, and more
than $2.4 billion next year,
enough to balance the budget this year and next.
Senate
Republican
spokeswoman Jennifer Kocher said the votes aren't
there in that chamber to
pass what would be a 16
percent increase in the income tax, but leaders remain committed to bring it
up if it gets out of the House
on Wednesday.
"It's a mystery as to
why (Wolf) is doubling
down on the income tax
when that is the portion
that, we expressed to him
since March, that we simply do not have the support"
to raise, she said.
An estimated 216,000
seniors and 31,000 households with disabled residents would see their
property taxes eliminated,
bringing the new statewide
total to 331,000 households
that would not have to pay
the despised levies.
Wolf dropped a proposal to increase the Pennsylvania sales tax rate, currently 6 percent in much
of the state, to 6.6 percent.
And he is no longer seeking an expansion of the list
of items the sale tax covers that he had previously
supported. He also did not
include proposals he previously supported for new cigarette taxes and for higher
taxes on banks that would
have accompanied cuts to
the corporate net income
tax rate and a broadening
of its reach.
The governor told reporters Tuesday that a budget that passed the Legislature in late June without a
single Democratic vote — a
budget he vetoed — was
not be balanced and would
result in deep cuts to education spending along with
higher borrowing costs.
Pennsylvania and Illinois are the only states in
the country without a budget in place.

House
Republican
Leader Dave Reed, R-Indiana, said none of his members have told him they will
vote yes.
"I don't believe they
have 84 Democrats and I
don't believe there are a
whole lot of Republicans
lining up to vote for it, either," Reed told reporters.
Reed and Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman,
R-Centre, offered to hold
votes on Wolf's proposal
as a way to demonstrate it
lacks sufficient support in
the Legislature so the focus
can shift to some other approach that can pass.

COPYRIGHT 2001 CREATORS SINDICATE, INC.
Dear Annie: This is written in desperation. I have seven children, and my middle
son, “Randall,” age 57, is in
the grip of psychosis. His late
father was a schizophrenic
who refused treatment and
regularly beat me. I lived
with him for years, not understanding what I was doing
wrong, until I drew up enough
courage to ask a psychiatrist
for advice. This doctor told me
to leave him before he killed
me. I did, and struggled raising my children. I was rarely
home because I held multiple
low-paying jobs, and the kids
grew up in deprivation.
Randall began to use cocaine in the late ‘80s, when
people thought it was cool and
didn’t realize how addictive it
was. He got clean in his determination to be a good father
to his now-adult son. He and
one of his brothers embarked
on an independent business
venture, and over the years
were moderately successful.
Unfortunately, in their last
venture, the investors stole
money and the business went
under. They are in court now.
As a result of this upheaval, Randall has begun
using meth and is behaving
psychotically. His brother has
had to sell his home and his
savings are dwindling. He
doesn’t want to abandon Randall, who is now penniless and
cannot support himself or his
wife and young child.
How can we help Randall? His insurance has
lapsed and no one has the
funds to get him back into rehab. My only income is social
security, but my late husband
was a WWII veteran. Am I eligible for any widow benefits?
-- Frantic Mom
Dear Frantic: Check the
website for the U.S. Dept. of
Veterans Affairs (va.gov) to
see whether you are eligible
for survivor benefits. Then
we recommend you contact
the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (samhsa.gov) at
1-800-662-HELP for referrals
to treatment centers or local
state services for those without insurance. But Randall
must be willing to go. There
are also support groups such
as Families Anonymous (familiesanonymous.org) for those
whose lives have been upended by drug-addicted loved
ones. We hope Randall can get
the help he needs.
Dear Annie: I am responding to “Gary” about appropriate dress for a funeral.
A few weeks ago, my
sister-in-law died unexpectedly. She was an incredible
person. She came from an
Irish family, and there was
a huge wake to celebrate her
life. There was lots of food and
an Irish band and a bagpiper.
There was storytelling about
the wonderful times we each
spent with her. The celebration went on for hours. Her
family discouraged wearing
somber clothing.
The next day, there was
a memorial service that was
more traditional. I can honestly say that I do not remember what anyone wore to either. -- Carol
Dear Carol: Thank you
for reinforcing the idea that
attending the service is more
important than what you
wear. The clothing one remembers tends to be outrageously inappropriate and
calls attention to the wearer.
Such outfits should be avoided, because they distract
mourners and can cause distress to the family.

Pennsylvania's first breast
South Carolina cleans up, but milk bank accepting donations
worries remain amid floods
COLUMBIA,
S.C.
(AP) — The family of
Miss South Carolina 1954
found her flood-soaked
pageant scrapbook on a
dining room floor littered
with dead fish on Tuesday,
as the first sunny day in
nearly two weeks provided a chance to clean up
from historic floods.
"I would hate for her
to see it like this. She
would be crushed," said
Polly Sim, who moved her
80-year-old mother into
a nursing home just before the rainstorm turned
much of the state into a
disaster area.
Owners of inundated
homes were keeping close
watch on swollen waterways as they pried open
swollen doors and tore out
soaked carpets. So far, at
least 17 people have died
in the floods in the Carolinas, some of them drowning after trying to drive
through high water.
Sim's mother, known
as Polly Rankin Suber
when she competed in the
Miss America contest, had
lived since 1972 in the
unit, where more than 3
feet of muddy water toppled her washing machine
and turned the wallboard
to mush.
"There's no way it will
be what it was," said Sim.
"My mom was so eccentric, had her own funky
style of decorating, there's
no way anyone could duplicate that. Never."
Tuesday was the first
dry day since Sept. 24 in
South Carolina's state
capital, where a midnight-to-6 a.m. curfew
was in effect. But officials
warned that new evacuations could come as the
huge mass of water flows
toward the sea, threatening dams and displacing
residents along the way.
Of particular concern was the Lowcountry,
where the Santee, Edisto
and other rivers make
their way to the sea. Gov.
Nikki Haley warned that
several rivers were rising
and had yet to reach their
peaks.
"God smiled on South
Carolina because the sun
is out. That is a good sign,
but ... we still have to
be cautious," Haley said
Tuesday after taking an
aerial tour. "What I saw
was disturbing."
"We are going to be
extremely careful. We are
watching this minute by
minute," she said.
Georgetown, one of
America's oldest cities,
sits on the coast at the
confluence of four rivers.
The historic downtown
flooded over the weekend,
and its ordeal wasn't over
yet.
"It was coming in
through the kitchen wall,
through the bathroom
walls, through the bedroom walls, through the
living room walls. It was
up over the sandbags that
we put over the door. And,
it just kept rising," Tom
Doran said, bracing himself for the next wave. "If I
see a hoard of locusts then
I'm taking off."
In Effingham, east of
Columbia, the Lynches
River was at nearly 20
feet on Tuesday — five
feet above flood stage. Kip
Jones paddled a kayak to
check on a home he rents
out there, and discovered
that the family lost pretty much everything they
had, with almost 8 feet of
standing water in the bedrooms.
"Their stuff is floating
all in the house," Jones
said. "Once the water
comes in the house you
get bacteria and you get
mold."
In downtown Columbia, about 200 workers
rushed to fix a breach in
a canal that is threatening the city's water supply
to its 375,000 customers.
The city's main intake
valve is in the canal,
and the water level was
steadily dropping, Columbia Utilities Director Joey
Jaco said.
Crews planned to
work into Wednesday
morning, sinking a barge
and piling bags of rocks
and sand on top to try and
block the hole in the canal, Jaco said.
If the water gets below
the intake valve, there is
less than a day's supply in
a reservoir.
"We need to make sure
we get this dam constructed very soon to make sure
we stay above a minimal
level," Jaco said.
Haley said it was
too soon to estimate the
damage, which could be
"any amount of dollars."
The Republican governor
quickly got a federal disaster declaration from
President Barack Obama,
freeing up money and resources. South Carolina
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a
Republican presidential
candidate, promised not
"to ask for a penny more
than we need" and criticized other lawmakers for
seeking financing for unrelated projects in disaster bills.
PITTSBURGH (AP) —
Pennsylvania's first breast
milk bank is now accepting donations from nursing
mothers in anticipation of
its November opening in
Pittsburgh.
Three Rivers Mothers'
Milk Bank will service sick
babies throughout both
Pennsylvania and West
Virginia.
The
nonprofit's
5,000-square-foot building
will include a pasteurization and bottling laboratory, freezers and a classroom.
Officials said the milk
is mostly intended for infants in neonatal intensive
care units, but approximately 15 to 20 percent of
donations will be distributed to outpatient babies.

O'Connor said Three
Rivers has raised more
than $700,000 for initial
start-up costs and will be
financially solvent in three
years.
"Every foundation that
we went to totally embraced
this project," O'Connor
said. "It's a simple solution
that helps better the lives
for the families in need.
We're beyond excited."
Children's
Hospital
of Philadelphia is also in
the process of developing
its own milk bank, but the
hospital plans to keep the
milk in-house.
Dog rescued after fall into
crack at Volcanoes National Park
HONOLULU (AP) —
A Big Island family was
reunited with their dog after a rescue team removed
the Labrador retriever
trapped in a crack in the
earth at Hawaii Volcanoes
National Park.
Volcano resident Marta Caproni and her boyfriend were walking the
4-year-old chocolate Lab,
Romeo, and his littermate,
Tommy, at the park when
Romeo ran off and disappeared, The Honolulu
Star-Advertiser reported.
"We had no idea that to
the left of this gravel area,
there is a major crack in
the earth about 20 feet
deep," she said. "Romeo
went jumping around this
area and disappeared. We
couldn't tell he had fallen
in."
Funeral Services
FERRIS – A memorial
service for Judy K. Ferris
will be held at the convenience of the family.
Burial will follow at
Oakmont Cemetery.
Memorials, if desired,
may be made to the Community Nurses, Inc. Hospice Program at 757 Johnsonburg Rd., Suite 200,
St. Marys, Pa. 15857.
Funeral
arrangements are under the direction of the Thompson
Funeral Home, 136 Cen-
milk bank's volunteer medical director, said breast
milk helps protect preterm
infants against disease. In
2012, the American Academy for Pediatrics recommended all babies weighing
3.3 pounds or less receive
human milk.
Executive Director Denise O'Connor said interested donors must submit
to a telephone interview,
health questionnaires and
a blood draw before approval.
Nursing mothers who
are not approved for the
milk bank are still encouraged to donate. Their milk
will be used to further research at the facility.
O'Connor said the milk
will cost approximately
$4.50 per ounce. Donors
are asked to commit to pro-
be Fr. Brian Vossler, pastor.
Interment will be in
St. Leo’s Cemetery.
Friends will be received at the MeehanShilk Funeral Home on
Thursday, Oct. 8 from 3-5
p.m. and from 7-9 p.m.
Memorials may be
made to the Community Nurses Hospice, 785
Johnsonburg Rd., St.

Caproni said they
tracked Romeo's faint
whining and discovered
that it was coming from
deep inside a crack.
A rescue team was
able to remove Romeo by
sending in Ranger Arnold
Nakata. A park news release says he found the
dog apparently unhurt,
and he was above ground
by around noon Sunday.
"When they pulled
him up, he came walking toward me unharmed,
happy as he could be,"
Caproni said. "He was
rolling around in the grass
and went back to the park
rangers and kissed them."
Dogs must be on
leashes at all times in areas of the park where they
are permitted, Hawai'i
Volcanoes National Park
spokeswoman
Jessica
Ferracane said.
"There have been cases where animals have
fallen into steam vents,
never to be seen again,"
she said. "Luckily, this
turned out with a happy
ending."
Caproni has lived
across from the entrance
to the park for 15 years.
She says the dogs are
obedient, so she would
let them run off-leash —
something she doesn't
plan to do again.
