Former first
lady Nancy
Reagan dies at
94 in California
By Christopher Weber
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP)
— Nancy Reagan, the helpmate, backstage adviser and
fierce protector of Ronald
Reagan in his journey from
actor to president — and finally during his 10-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease
— has died. She was 94.
The former first lady
died Sunday at her home in
the Bel-Air section of Los Angeles of congestive heart failure, assistant Allison Borio
told The Associated Press.
Her best-known project
as first lady was the “Just
Say No” campaign to help
kids and teens stay off drugs.
When she swept into the
White House in 1981, the
former Hollywood actress
partial to designer gowns
and pricey china was widely
dismissed as a pre-feminist
throwback, concerned only
with fashion, decorating and
entertaining. By the time she
moved out eight years later,
Mrs. Reagan was fending off
accusations that she was a
behind-the-scenes “dragon
lady” wielding unchecked
power over the Reagan administration — and doing it
based on astrology to boot.
All along she maintained
that her only mission was
to back her “Ronnie” and
strengthen his presidency.
Mrs. Reagan carried
that charge through the rest
of her days. She served as
a full-time caretaker as Alzheimer’s melted away her
husband’s memory. After his
death in June 2004 she dedicated herself to tending his
legacy, especially at his presi-

Students’ Challenger video wins at Space Fair
By Amy Cherry
Staff Writer
A tribute video commemorating the crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger not only earned a
group of St. Marys Catholic Middle School students first place in
a Space Fair contest, but also
acted as an invaluable learning
experience.
Seventh grade enrichment
students Gina Carnovale, Karalyn VanEerden, Elizabeth Anderson, Joseph Wolfe, and Jared
Smithbauer submitted their
iMovie documentary as part of a
contest sponsored by the Dresser-Rand Challenger Learning
Center (DRCLC) in Allegany,
N.Y.
The group is under the guidance of Amy Fehrenbach, Act 89
reading and enrichment teacher.
As this year marked the 30th
anniversary of the Challenger
disaster, the students chose to
create a tribute video featuring testimonials from those who
recollected the event and how it
impacted them.
During the 10-minute video, students interviewed various middle school faculty, staff,
and an administrator including
teachers Sue Jansen, Marlene
Stubber, Susan Bon, Pete Winklbauer, Anne Kronenwetter,
and Ruth Ann Wachter.
“We really learned how much
it impact all these people that
saw it happen,” Gina said. “We
weren’t alive then so we had no

LIMESTONE, N.Y. – Multiple news media outlets in the
Erie area and New York report
John Anthony Raspatello, 62, of
St. Marys was taken into custody
by U.S. Marshals in Limestone,
N.Y. on Friday.
Marshals report Raspatello
was found hiding in a camper
near Route 219 at about 2 p.m. in
Cattaraugus County.
A bench warrant was issued
by President Judge Richard A.
Masson in the Elk County Court
of Common Pleas for Raspatello
after he failed to appear for Jan.
27 sentencing in Ridgway.
Following a jury trial at the
Elk County Courthouse, Raspatello was found guilty of 10
charges ranging from summary
offenses to felonies of the first degree.
The charges stem from a December 2013 incident in which he
struck a pair of repo workers with
a car before fleeing the scene.
Raspatello was found guilty
of two counts of aggravated assault, felonies of the first degree;
two counts of aggravated assault,
felonies of the second degree;
two counts of simple assault,

Canada’s Fuller attending first Rendezvous event
By Joseph Bell
Daily Press Editor
RIDGWAY – The yearly international flavor continues at
the Ridgway Chainsaw Carvers Rendezvous as Gerry Fuller
of Pontypool, Ontario, Canada
makes his first trek to town for
the popular event.
“I moved to a country property over 12 years ago and enjoyed
working outside all the time,” he
said. “A friend of mine who was
a carver suggested that I should
start.”
Fuller took a few courses
and tried his hand at the trade,
“mostly carving small things.”
“As I was walking through
my property I asked ‘How can
I make some extra money with
what I have on this property?” he
recalled. “The property is not set
up for farming and has woodlots
consisting of mostly cedar trees. I
noticed that a cedar tree had uprooted and I thought of using the
roots as hair and carving a wood
spirit face. Next thing I knew
people were going crazy trying to
buy these from me.”
Just over a year ago, Fuller
was browsing Facebook and going through various chainsaw
carving sites.
“As I was reading and admiring the postings, I noticed how
helpful everyone was,” he said.
“Carvers with a problem are answered and everyone pitches in
to help. I thought what a great

dential library in California,
where he had served as governor.
She also championed
Alzheimer’s patients, raising millions of dollars for
research and breaking with
fellow conservative Republicans to advocate for stem
cell studies. Her dignity and
perseverance in these postWhite House roles helped
smooth over the public’s fickle perceptions of the former
first lady.
The Reagans’ mutual
devotion over 52 years of
marriage was legendary.
They were forever holding
hands. She watched his political speeches with a look
of such steady adoration it
was dubbed “the gaze.” He
called her “Mommy,” and
penned a lifetime of gushing
love notes. She saved these
letters, published them as a
book, and found them a comfort when he could no longer
remember her.
After Reagan was shot
by John Hinckley just three
months into his presidency,
he was said to have famously
wisecracked to her, “Honey, I
forgot to duck.”
In announcing his Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 1994,

As has been the case
in recent years, voting

which can be accessed
at https://www.facebook.
com/ElkExpo. Individuals are asked to review
the eight photos that
have been selected by
the committee and then

year’s winner.
Only “likes” on the

page count as votes.

Reagan wrote, “I only wish
there was some way I could
spare Nancy from this painful experience.” Ten years
later, as his body lay in state
in the U.S. Capitol, Mrs.
Reagan caressed and gently
kissed the flag-draped casket.
In a statement Sunday, U.S. President Barack
Obama and first lady Michelle Obama spoke of the
Reagan’s journey with Alzheimer’s disease.
“Later, in her long goodbye with President Reagan,
she became a voice on behalf
of millions of families going
through the depleting, aching
reality of Alzheimer’s, and
took on a new role, as advocate, on behalf of treatments
that hold the potential and
the promise to improve and
save lives,” the Obama’s said.
As the newly arrived
first lady, Mrs. Reagan raised
more than $800,000 from
private donors to redo the
White House family quarters and to buy a $200,000
set of china bordered in red,
her signature color. She was
criticized for financing these
pet projects with donations
from millionaires who might
seek influence with the gov-
ernment, and for accepting
gifts and loans of dresses
worth thousands of dollars
from top designers. Her lavish lifestyle — in the midst
of a recession and with her
husband’s
administration
cutting spending on the
needy — inspired the mocking moniker “Queen Nancy.”
But her admirers credited Mrs. Reagan with restoring grace and elegance
to the White House after the
austerity of the Carter years.
Her substantial influence within the White House
came to light slowly in her
husband’s second term.
Although a feud between the first lady and
chief of staff Donald Regan
had spilled into the open,
the president dismissed reports that it was his wife
who got Regan fired. “The
idea that she is involved in
governmental decisions and
so forth and all of this, and
being a kind of dragon lady
— there is nothing to that,”
a visibly angry Reagan assured reporters.
But Mrs. Reagan herself
and other insiders later confirmed her role in rounding
up support for Regan’s ouster and persuading the president that it had to be done,
because of the Iran-Contra
scandal that broke under
Regan’s watch.
She delved into policy
tographers should take

issues, too. She urged Reagan to finally break his long
silence on the AIDS crisis.
She nudged him to publicly
accept responsibility for the
arms-for-hostages scandal.
And she worked to buttress
those advisers urging him to
thaw U.S. relations with the
Soviet Union, over the objections of the administration’s
“evil empire” hawks.
Near the end of Reagan’s
presidency, ex-chief of staff
Regan took his revenge with
a memoir revealing that the
first lady routinely consulted
a San Francisco astrologer to
guide the president’s schedule. Mrs. Reagan, who had
a longtime interest in horoscopes, maintained that she
used the astrologer’s forecasts only in hopes of predicting the safest times for
her husband to venture out
of the White House after the
assassination attempt.
Anne Frances Robbins,
nicknamed Nancy, was born
on July 6, 1921, in New York
City. Her parents separated
soon after she was born and
her mother, film and stage
actress Edith Luckett, went
on the road. Nancy was
reared by an aunt until 1929,
when her mother married
Dr. Loyal Davis, a wealthy
Chicago neurosurgeon who
gave Nancy his name and
a socialite’s home. She majored in drama at Smith Col-
Raspatello
fense.
Two counts of simple
assault, misdemeanors of
the second degree, were
withdrawn.
Raspatello was turned
over to the Cattaraugus
County Sheriff ’s office in
New York before being
scheduled for extradition

Fuller
started
off
with the basic bears, and
purchased a few carving
books and videos.
“I really enjoy carving
bears, eagles and owls,” he
said. “As I am progressing
with these I also try and
push my boundaries by
trying a different type of
carving. I have done some

(Later, public spats and

She was thrust into the

Pennsylvania attorney general primary draws 5 candidates
By Mark Scolforo
Associated Press
HARRISBURG (AP)
— Pennsylvania’s top
prosecutor has secured
her place in history as the
first Democrat and the
first woman to be elected
to the post and as the first
of the state’s attorney
generals to perform the
job without an active law
license.
But Kathleen Kane
isn’t running for a second
term, and next month voters will pick the two major party candidates who
will fight it out in the fall
to take over in January.
Here is a guide to the candidates and issues in play
in the primary races:
___
WHO’S RUNNING?
Three Democrats are
seeking the nomination:
Northampton
County
District Attorney John
Morganelli, Montgomery
County
Commissioner
Josh Shapiro and Allegheny County District
Attorney Stephen Zappala. The Republican side
pits Montgomery County
state Sen. John Rafferty
against Joe Peters, a former Scranton cop and
state prosecutor who
was once Kane’s official
spokesman.
___
KANE’S TENURE
Kane drew attention
soon after taking office
by preventing Republican Gov. Tom Corbett
from hiring a private
firm to manage state lottery operations and announcing she would not
defend a law that prevented gay marriage. She
also became the target of
a criminal investigation
and was charged last year
with illegally leaking secret grand jury material
to a reporter, allegations
she vigorously denies.
The state’s highest court
has suspended her law
license, and the Legislature has explored removing her. Her criminal trial
is scheduled for August.
___
ABOUT THE
OFFICE
The attorney general’s
office has about 820 employees, of which about a
quarter are lawyers. They
prosecute major crimes,
including drug rings,
organized crime, child
predators and public corruption; handle conflictof-interest referrals from
county district attorneys;
and work to protect consumers from fraud. The
office also represents state
agencies in civil matters.
The attorney general’s
salary is $159,000.
___
OFFICE MORALE
During a debate last
week in Philadelphia, the
candidates were asked
what they would do to
improve agency morale
in the post-Kane era. Rafferty said he would tour
all field offices and tell
employees that if they do
their job, follow directives
and act ethically, “I will
have their back.” Shapiro
said running the government in a heavily populated county gives him
relevant executive experience and he will recruit
people who “want to move
forward in the same optimistic, positive direction.”
Zappala said he’s familiar
with much of the agency’s
workforce and will “lead
by example.” Morganelli
promised to make widespread leadership personnel changes and will
“bring in top-notch professionals.” Peters said
prosecutors, agents and
support staff will relate
to him because he’s held
similar jobs.
___
TRIAL
EXPERIENCE
Zappala said the head
of a busy prosecutor’s office doesn’t have the time
to get bogged down in the
details required to try
individual cases, calling
it “truly a team effort.”
Morganelli, a trial lawyer for his entire career,
said it’s good experience
to have, but not a must.
Peters said a mix of skills,
including
prosecutorial
experience, are called for.
Rafferty said the attorney
general needs “a broad
knowledge of the law” and
sets policy, acting like a
managing partner of a
large law firm. Shapiro
said executive leadership,
sound judgment and an
understanding of the job
are what’s needed.
___
NEPOTISM
All five said they
would impose strict policies against hiring relatives.
___
BIOGRAPHICAL
NOTES

___
WHEN’S THE
ELECTION?
The primary is April
26.
All of the students
participated in the interview process. They
worked in pairs with one
person asking questions
to the source while the
other recorded the interview on an iPad.
Each student also
had their specific role as
well. Elizabeth conducted research and photos
used in the video; Jared
typed the captions along
with gathering information and photos; Joe assisted with the overall
planning of the video and
did a majority of the editing; and Gina and Karalyn worked on the music
for the video.
The idea to use Enya
as their background music came to Gina when
she heard it as they were
watching CNN in a social
studies class.
“It was perfect for the
project,” Gina said.
One of the judge’s
comment
about
the
group’s project stated
“you have created a beautiful, emotional, and informative documentary.”
They received a perfect
10 points in the category of clarity in honoring
the disaster. Additional
categories they were
judged on were creativity
and originality, clarity
in incorporating a space
theme, and attention to
detail and presentation.
The tribute video may
be viewed on the Seneca
Highlands IU9 homepage
at www.iu9.org.
“It was exciting to
know that we won because we were not expecting that at all,” Gina
said.
Karalyn added she
only found out they won
as she was reading the
brief about the group
while broadcasting the
morning announcements
to the school.
At the beginning of
the project, the students
encountered a few challenges; perhaps the most
daunting was the type
of video they wanted
to make. Their initial
idea consisted of a story
about students finding
parts of the Challenger
and discussing it during
their school lunch period.
However, after attempting to work on the first
scene for two weeks, the
students realized they
needed another plan.
“We tried really hard
to get more of a story together since there were
actual characters. We
weren’t
getting
anywhere,”
Karalyn
explained. “This was kind
of a backup plan but
worked really well.”
She added that after
several weeks the group
became frustrated and
wanted to quit, however Fehrenbach spurred
them on, encouraging
them to finish the project.
It was Joe’s idea of a
tribute video that finally
clicked with the group.
Jared stated he was
excited about the project
because of his interest in
space and the galaxy.
While compiling the
final edits to the video,
the group found themselves cutting a few of
their interviews due to
time restrictions on the
length of the video.
According to Fehrenbach, the group chose to
enter the contest as they
all enjoy creating iMovies. Last year, the group
made an iMovie to promote one of their enrichment projects.
Their winning prize
consists of a simulation
space mission at the cen-
ter, valued at $1,000. The
activity focuses heavily
on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and
Math) activities. As part
of their mission, students
will participate in activities in several areas of
the center including a
launch room featuring
a simulated launch into
space, guiding transport
vehicles into orbit, gathering data from a Martian moon, manning the
Mission Control room,
conducting science experiments in a space lab and
much more.
Since the activity is
open to 30 students, Feherenbach said they also
invited students from
Bradford’s
enrichment
program along as well.
They began working
on the project in December and submitted it at
the end of January. There
were 27 total submissions
as part of the Space Fair
which encompassed three
categories including designing a space vehicle, a
space experiment, space
station or colony, writing a space-themed piece
such as a short graphic
novel, or developing a
space-themed
performance such as a song,
skit, or movie. The main
criteria of the project was
to honor Challenger crew
members who were never
able to complete their
mission.
The SMCMS group
was up against about 15
others in their category.
The contest was open
to all schools within the
Twin Tier area and was
separated into grade level categories 2-4, 5-6 and
7-8.

LISTEN TO THEM • TALK TO THEM
A community outlook on the
Prevention of Drug & Alcohol abuse
HELPING CURB TEEN DRUNK DRIVING
(NAPSA)—A firsthand account can drive a lesson home.
That’s the idea behind a campaign
that’s sending a young man across
the country to talk to students about
drunk driving.
According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2005, 16,885 people
were killed in alcohol related crashes - an average of one almost every
half hour. A disproportionately high
number of victims killed each year
are teens.
Brandon Silveria was almost
one of them. When he was 17, he
endured a three-week coma after being involved in a drunk-driving accident. Since his rehabilitation, Silveria has devoted himself to speaking
at high schools about his experience
and encouraging people under the
legal drinking age to make the right
decisions about alcohol. Although
his speech has been permanently
impaired, Silveria’s presentation delivers a resounding message on the
dangers of underage drinking and
drunk driving.
He tells his story under the auspices of The Century Council, a notfor-profit organization dedicated to
fighting drunk driving and underage
drinking. Silveria’s mission is supported by Diageo, the world’s leading spirits, wine and beer company.
Silveria and his father, Tony,
tour America’s high schools to educate students—over 2 million to
date—about the dangers and consequences of underage drinking. Three
video messages focusing on back
to school, spring break and prom/
graduation are available to keep his
story alive throughout the school
year. The videos have won the
education field’s prestigious Chris
award and a FREDDIE firstplace in
the American Medical Association’s
International Health & Medical Film
Competition.
“Brandon has a very powerful
story to share with young people.
Our hope is that his story will help
save lives,” said Guy Smith, Diageo
executive vice president. “We do not
want the business of anyone under
the legal drinking age. Period.”
Diageo is a founding member
and major supporter of The Century
Council, an organization funded by
the country’s leading distillers committed to developing programs to
combat drunk driving and underage
drinking. These programs include
Ask, Listen, Learn; Cops in Shops;
Alcohol 101 Plus; The Blood Alcohol Educator; Ready or Not; and the
Prom/Graduation preparation kit.

clue. It was very sad as
we learned. Just a sense
of honor for these people
that did this.”
While working on
the project, the students
said they learned a great
deal from the interview
process with their sources. In particular, they
learned teacher Marlene
Stubber had considered
applying for the teacher
in space program which
Christa McAuliffe, a
New Hampshire teacher,
was chosen for and was
among the Challenger
crew who perished.
In an effort to better educate themselves
about the Challenger disaster, the students conducted a great deal of research.
They also gathered
background information
including numerous news
articles about the Challenge disaster along with
photos and biographical
information about each
crew member.
“For us and our generation, you don’t think
about it. Seeing how it
affected everybody who
was around for it, you
don’t realize how big this
was,” Karalyn said.

Guest Commentary
Trumped
This has become the
New Surrealpolitik, this
Trump phenomenon. I understand how monomaniacal Trump can believe he
could be president of the
United States but I fail to
understand how American
voters can actually cast a
ballot for a racist, xenophobic, ignorant, gauche,
arrogant billionaire.
It is clear that Trump
has no policy savvy. He
can barely identify a current public policy that
doesn't relate to what
some obsequious staffer
feeds to him.
His misinformation,
compounding contradictions, and racial slurs
regarding Latina/os are
profoundly painful. His
dehumanizing mischaracterizations of nonwhite
nonChristians, of Muslims
in general, and Syrian
refugees in particular are
simply unAmerican.
Trump's attitudes
toward and relationships
with women both individually and collectively are
shameful.
Imagining Trump with
his thumb on the nuclear
button is horrifying and a
betrayal of our entire human history and future.
If you believe in workers' rights you cannot
intelligently support
Trump with his record of
predatory capitalism and
ruthless exploitation of the
most vulnerable.
For anyone who believes
our elected officials should
possess integrity, a vote
for Trump is impossible.
We are descending in
world opinion and global
credibility every day we
allow Trump to continue to
march toward viable candidacy for President of the
United States of America.
Do we seriously wish to be
the embarrassment of the
Earth?
The money Trump
inherited, if left in an
average mutual fund and
never touched, would be
billions more than what he
has in his fortune today.
His business acumen is
actually lousy. Losing, losing, losing.
Education? Here he is:
"I love the poorly educated." I do not want that
man to have a say in the
education of my grandchildren or anyone else's. My
stars!
Trump will make negotiating on the global level
essentially impossible. He
has already insulted the
majority of the world powers--leadership that can
help or hurt Americans. A
vote for Trump is a vote to
deepen alienation across
the world from America
and--since so many vote
for him--Americans as
people.
Seriously? America has
taken hits--Ronald Reagan
was a chickenhawk Cold
Warrior B-movie actor and
a president who--in the
words of one commentator-"believed the last glib
person who talked to him."
This led the U.S. closer
to nuclear annihilation
than any time since the
Cuban missile crisis. Bush
the W--led by the nose by
Cheney--lied and stumbled
our military into disasters
thousands died for and
the rest of us still pay for.
Trump the Novice--lacking
in everything but hubris-would bring us into irreversible catastrophic endgames that would literally
threaten the existence of
the U.S. and all of us.
I've never seen such a
display of voter incompetence as the numbers
who have gone for Trump.
He is the most dangerous
version of Bozo the Clown
I've seen in 55 years of
political observation. Just
sayin'.

Guest Commentary
War, Peace, and Bernie Sanders
We’ve had our first big
vote, and I’m doing my
best to dig Tulsi Gabbard’s
endorsement of Bernie
Sanders out from beneath
the pile of Super Tuesday numbers and media
declarations of winners
and losers.
As a Boston Globe headline put it: “Clinton and
Trump are now the presumptive nominees. Get
used to it.”
But something besides
winning and losing still
matters, more than ever,
in the 2016 presidential
race. War and peace and a
fundamental questioning
of who we are as a nation
are actually on the line in
this race, or could be — for
the first time since 1972
when George McGovern
was the Democratic presidential nominee.
Embrace what matters
deeply and there’s no such
thing as losing.
Gabbard, an Iraq war
vet, a congresswoman from
Hawaii, and “rising star”
in the Democratic establishment, stepped down
as vice-chair of the Democratic National Committee
in order to endorse Sanders — because he’s the
only candidate who is not
financially and psychologically tied to the militaryindustrial complex.
“As a veteran of two
Middle East deployments,
I know firsthand the cost
of war,” she said, cracking
the mainstream silence on
U.S. militarism. “As a vice
chair of the DNC, I am
required to stay neutral in
democratic primaries, but
I cannot remain neutral
any longer. The stakes are
just too high.”
Because of Gabbard —
only because of Gabbard
— the multi-trillion-dollar
monstrosity of U.S. militarism is getting a little
mainstream media attention amid the reality-TV
histrionics of this year’s
presidential race, the
Donald Trump phenomenon and the spectacle of
Republican insult-flinging.
As the results of Super Tuesday started coming in on Tuesday night,
Gabbard was given a few
minutes to talk on MSNBC. While Rachel Maddow
wanted to discuss the risk
her Sanders endorsement
might have on her career;
Gabbard insisted on addressing the slightly larger
matter of our unchecked,
resource-hemorrhaging
military adventurism
across the globe.
“War is a very real
thing,” she said. “If the
Syrian war continues, we
won’t have the resources to
fund important social programs. This isn’t a question of the past — it’s a
question of today. Regimechange wars do nothing
to strengthen our national security, but they do
strengthen our enemies.”
Fine. We’ll return after
these messages . . .
A short while later, the
MSNBC analysts’ attention snapped back to
the Trump phenomenon.
Someone opined: “The vast
majority of Trump supporters are enamored of winning” far more than they
care about the goofball issues Trump is supposedly
running on, like the wall
across the Mexican border
and the ban on Muslims
entering the country.
Maybe it’s true, and
maybe it’s not, but I sense
the mainstream media is a
lot more comfortable with
an issue-free presidential
race, which is what the
powers that be want, of
course. The presidential
election is supposed to be a
distraction, not some kind
of public accountability
process.
The Sanders phenomenon, while as shocking and
unexpected as the success
of the Trump campaign,
is far too substantive to
garner a similar amount of
media attention, let alone
serious consideration of
the issues he’s bringing up.
Yet remarkably, his call
for social change — for the
transformation of a “rigged
economy” — has not
receded to the margins,
either.
So what happens next?
Tulsi Gabbard’s endorsement is the key. As Dave
Lindorff recently wrote:
“Sanders, who has been
avoiding talking about the
country’s military budget
and its imperialist foreign
policy, should use the
opportunity of Gabbard’s
defection from the DNC to
announce that if elected he
would immediately slash
military spending by 25
percent, that he would
begin pulling U.S. forces
back from most of the 800
or more bases they occupy
around the world, and that
he would end a decadeslong foreign policy of overthrowing elected leaders
around the globe.”
The shock waves generated by such a stance, from
a candidate who already
has 386 delegates, would
be enormous. Conventional
wisdom cries no, no, that’s
too much. No matter how
much harm our wars have
caused in the last decade,
no matter how absurd a
slice that war preparation
— including nuclear weapons development — gouges
from the national budget,
the U.S. military, the
planet’s biggest polluter
and most prolific terrorist,
remains untouchable. The
public has no say in these
matters. The president has
no say in these matters.
This delusion goes back
to the Vietnam War and
McGovern’s loss to Richard Nixon. Since then, the
Democrats have attempted
to purge themselves of antiwar — or what perhaps
should be called trans-military — thinking. In doing
so, they’ve tied themselves
to their own, and the country’s, inevitable collapse.
The other option is
transformation. This is the
year it could begin.

Inventor of modern email,
Ray Tomlinson, dies
By Sarah Skidmore Sell
AP Business Writer
Raymond Tomlinson,
the inventor of modern
email and a technological leader, has died, his
employer said Sunday.
Tomlinson died Saturday, the Raytheon Co.
said; the details were not
immediately available.
Email existed in a
limited capacity before
Tomlinson in that electronic messages could
be shared amid multiple
people within a limited
framework. But until his
invention in 1971 of the
first network person-toperson email, there was
no way to send something to a specific person
at a specific address.
Tomlinson wrote and
sent the first email on
the ARPANET system, a
computer network that
was created for the U.S.
government that is considered a precursor to
the Internet. Tomlinson
also contributed to the
network’s development,
among numerous other
pioneering technologies
in the programing world.
At the time, few people had personal computers. The popularity of
personal email wouldn’t
take off until years later
and would ultimately become an integral part of
modern life.
“It wasn’t an assignment at all, he was just
fooling around; he was
looking for something
to do with ARPANET,”
Raytheon spokeswoman
Joyce Kuzman said.
The first email was
sent between two machines that were side-byside. Tomlinson said in a
company interview that
the test messages were
“entirely forgettable and
I have, therefore, forgotten them.” But when
he was satisfied that
the program seemed to
work, he announced it
via his own invention by
sending a message to coworkers explaining how
to use it.
“I’m often asked ‘Did
I know what I was doing?” Tomlinson said in
his speech when he was
inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame. “The
answer is: Yeah I knew
exactly what I was doing. I just had no notion
whatsoever about what
the
ultimate
impact
would be.”
Tomlinson is the one
who chose the “@” symbol
to connect the username
with the destination address and it has now become a cultural icon.
“It is a symbol that
probably would have
gone away if not for
email,” Kuzman said.
The symbol has become so important in
modern culture that
MoMA’s Department of
Architecture and Design
added the symbol into its
collection in 2010, with
credits to Tomlinson.

AAA survey reveals that City recognizes Rotary Club
experience with vehicle
technology leads to trust
Three out of four U.S.
drivers report feeling
“afraid” to ride in a selfdriving car, according to
a new survey from AAA.
With today’s heightened
focus on autonomous vehicles, this fear poses a
potential concern to the
automotive industry as
consumers may be reluctant to fully embrace
the self-driving car. Despite
this
significant
fear, AAA also found that
drivers who own vehicles
equipped with semi-autonomous features are, on
average, 75 percent more
likely to trust the technology than those that do not
own it, suggesting that
gradual experience with
these advanced features
can ease consumer fears.
“With the rapid advancement towards autonomous vehicles, American
drivers may be hesitant to
give up full control,” says
Theresa Podguski, Director of Legislative Affairs
and Safety. “What Americans may not realize is
that the building blocks
towards self-driving cars
are already in today’s vehicles and the technology
is constantly improving
and well-trusted by those
who have experienced it,”
she explains.
While only one-in-five
Americans say they would
trust an autonomous vehicle to drive itself, AAA’s
survey revealed that consumer demand for semiautonomous vehicle technology is high. Nearly
61 percent of American
drivers report wanting at
least one of the following
technologies on their next
vehicle: automatic emergency braking, adaptive
cruise control, self-parking technology or lanekeeping assist.
Among drivers who
want these features on
their next vehicle, AAA
found their primary motivation to be safety (84
percent), followed by convenience (64 percent), re-
ducing stress (46 percent)
and wanting the latest
technology (30 percent).
Baby Boomers are
more likely to cite safety
as a reason they want
semi-autonomous
features on their next vehicle
(89 percent) than Millennials (78 percent).
Millennials are more
likely to cite convenience
(75 percent) and wanting
the latest technology (36
percent) compared to older generations.
Women are more
likely to cite reducing
stress as a reason for
wanting the technology
(50 percent) than men.
AAA’s survey also offered insights into why
many Americans shy
away from advanced vehicle technology. Among
those who do not want
semi-autonomous
features on their next vehicle, drivers cite trusting
their driving skills more
than the technology (84
percent), feeling the technology is too new and unproven (60 percent), not
wanting to pay extra for it
(57 percent), not knowing
enough about the technology (50 percent) and finding it annoying (45 percent) as the top reasons.
Millennials (63 percent) and Gen-Xers (62
percent) are more likely to
cite not wanting to pay extra for semi-autonomous
technology, compared to
Baby Boomers (49 percent).
One-in-four female
drivers (23 percent) cite
feeling the technology is
too complicated to use as
a reason for not wanting
the technology in their
next vehicle, compared to
12 percent of male drivers.

Some in GOP start seeing Cruz
as best alternative to Trump
By Julie Pace
AP White House Correspondent
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Republican leaders on
Sunday grappled with
the prospect that the best
hope for stopping Donald
Trump’s march to the nomination may be Ted Cruz
— the only candidate who
causes as much heartburn
among party elites as the
billionaire businessman, if
not sometimes more.
The Texas senator
split contests with Trump
in Saturday’s voting, bolstering his argument that
only he can defeat the real
estate mogul. Trump and
Cruz are now significantly
outpacing Marco Rubio in
the delegate count, further
shrinking the Florida senator’s already narrow path to
the nomination.
If Rubio’s slide continues, he would be the latest
establishment
candidate
to fall victim to an angry,
frustrated electorate that
cares little about endorsements from party leaders or
newspaper editorial boards.
Rubio has rolled out both at
warp speed in recent weeks,
but his appeal with Republican voters is not keeping
pace.
Rubio did pick up a
victory Sunday in Puerto
Rico’s primary, his second
win of the 2016 cycle. Democrats, meanwhile, held
caucuses Sunday in Maine.
Sanders won that contest,
beating rival Hillary Clinton for his eighth win of the
19 contests already held in
the nomination process.
Also, Democrats were
debating debate Sunday
night in Flint, Michigan,
highlighting differences on
economic policy.
The Democratic candidates were facing off just
two days before Michigan’s
primary in a city that was
already in tough shape long
before residents learned
their drinking water was
tainted with lead.
Clinton, a former secretary of state and senator,
claims that only she has a
“credible strategy” for raising wages. In recent days,
she has laid out a plan for
a “clawback” of tax benefits
for companies that ship jobs
overseas, using the money
to encourage investment in
the United States.
Sanders wrote in Sunday’s Detroit Free Press
that his rival had supported “disastrous trade deals”
such as the North American
Free Trade Agreement and
normalized trade relations
with China that have resulted in thousands of job
losses that devastated cities
such as Detroit and Flint.
Sanders won Democratic contests on Saturday in
Kansas and Nebraska, but

Couple donates farm
to Pennsylvania college
By Sean Sauro
The (Altoona) Mirror
ALTOONA (AP) — Juniata College has taken
ownership of more than
300 acres in Bedford County after a farm was donated by Altoona couple Jack
L. and Carolyn A. Sparks.
“We could have sold it
many times, but we wanted to have it remain undeveloped,” Carolyn said, revealing that Huntingdon’s
Juniata College offered
that promise.
Jack said the farm,
which sits about 5 miles
outside of Everett, has
been connected with his
family since 1794, and in
1970 he and his wife purchased the property from
relatives, using it for many
different purposes during
their decades of ownership.
The Sparks, both in
their 80s, were educators
in Bedford and Blair counties before retiring.
Still, in tandem with
their education careers,
they found time to raise
livestock on the farm.
“We raised beef cattle
for some time,” Jack said,
noting they would raise
up to 130 heads of cattle,
as well as smaller animals
like chickens, at one time.
“It was a lot of extra work.”
In their Altoona home
last week, the Sparks displayed a photo album,
which contained many images from decades past,
showing both the family
and their cattle operation.
Carolyn, who grew up
in a more urban setting,
said tending to the cattle
was sometimes a learning
experience. However, she
said her happiest memories of the farm were of its
vast landscape, which is
surrounded by mountains,
as well as the Raystown
Branch of the Juniata River.
“That’s the beauty of
the property,” she said. “It
sits on a peninsula, and all
the acreage is surrounded
by water.”
Memories of hunting
and fishing on the property, which houses several buildings, including
a home, were among some
of the highlights listed by
Jack.
And the Sparks said
they liked to share their
land. Jack said he used to
take students from his advanced-placement biology
classes to the farm, and
the couple said they hosted
a summer camp for about
15 years.
More than 300 children from ages 6 to about
14 or 15 spent their summers at the camp called
No-dse-wa-ope - a name
Carolyn said she chose to
honor a territory along the
Raystown Branch once occupied by the Susquehannock. Translated, No-dsewa-ope means quiet heart,
she said.
“It just seemed like an
appropriate name,” Carolyn said.
In fact, Jack said he
has some Native American
heritage, and he and his
father found many Native
American artifacts, such
as arrowheads, on the
farm.
Even with the large
number of people visiting and using the farm’s
grounds, Carolyn said the
time she spent with her
late sons, Scott D. Sparks
and Todd G. Sparks, were
most special to her.
“They spent many
summers and weekends
at the farm helping with
farm duties, enjoying and
appreciating nature. ...
It’s our hope that others
will learn to appreciate
and understand how we
depend on each other and
the natural surroundings
of our earth and universe
to survive,” she said in a
statement.
Carolyn shared one
memory of her sons running to different points of
the property to watch the
rising moon.
“We could watch the
moon rise three or four
times,” she said, explaining they were able to
watch the event from multiple vantage points. “We’ll
always keep the farm in
our hearts.”
In recent times, the
couple has been unable to

The Crystal Hose
Company was called out
yesterday shortly after
12:30 o’clock on account of
a fire at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. LeRoy Miller, on
Fourth Street. The conflagration was due to a
gas explosion, the cause
of which has not been determined. The force of the
explosion buried Mr. Miller against a barbed wire
fence and he received a
deep gash in his back.
The fire was confined
to the parlor and all of the
furniture, carpet, and pictures were ruined by the
flames and water.
Dr. LeVan was called
to attend Mr. Miller’s
wound and upon an examination ordered the
wounded man to the hospital. He went to Ridgway
on the evening train and
advises from the hospital
this afternoon are to the
effect that several Xray
photographs were made to
ascertain the possibilities
of blood poisoning resulting from the red underclothing worn at the time
as it was feared that bits
of the cloth might have
lodged in the wound. The
patient, we are informed,
will be under surveillance
for several days longer to
guard against all complications.

HARRISBURG
—
Pennsylvania
Attorney
General Kathleen G.
Kane’s office announced
the filing of criminal
charges against Marc J.
Gergely, a state representative from Allegheny
County accused of using
his position as an elected
official to assist the illegal
gambling enterprise of a
longtime friend.
The charges filed
against Gergely, 46, were
the result of a joint investigation conducted by the
Office of Attorney General and the Pennsylvania
State Police.
The charges were recommended by a statewide
investigating grand jury.
The grand jury reviewed
testimony and evidence
that Gergely allegedly
agreed to assist in the illegal gambling enterprise
headed by Ronald “Porky”
Melocchi, a man Gergely
allegedly knew for more
than 20 years.
“This is an unfortunate case in which the
players traded political
capital and favors to advance their own agendas and illicit business,”
Attorney General Kane
said. “The evidence clearly shows that Mr. Melocchi relied heavily on his
relationships — including with Mr. Gergely — to
conduct his illegal business.”
Melocchi and 15 other
individuals were criminally charged in September 2013 by the Attorney
General’s office. Those
charges stemmed from
the installation and maintenance of illegal video
gambling devices in bars,
restaurants and other
businesses in the McKeesport area. Law enforcement officials seized more
than 330 video gambling
machines during the investigation. Illegal lotteries and sports betting also
were part of the evidence
that investigators uncovered.
A
court-approved
wiretap was part of the
Melocchi
investigation
and confirmed he used a
phone to run and promote
his illegal business interests. The wiretap also
intercepted phone calls
that show Gergely allegedly assisted Melocchi’s
attempts to place illegal
gambling machines in
McKeesport-area
businesses.
Melocchi came to refer
to Gergely as part of his
“Super PAC,” and used
his connection to Gergely in efforts to convince
business owners to place
illegal gambling devices
within their establishments, a grand jury presentment alleges.
The grand jury also
reviewed evidence concerning a letter that law
enforcement investigators
drafted in an undercover
capacity and delivered to
Gergely’s state office. The
letter describes a woman
whose husband has a
gambling addiction. The
husband allegedly spent
the couple’s money on
gambling machines that
were part of Melocchi’s illegal enterprise, the letter
drafted by investigators
claimed, according to the
grand jury.
An intercepted phone
call played for the grand
jury
showed
Gergely
tipped off Melocchi about
the letter, the grand
jury presentment states.
Gergely allegedly failed to
turn over the letter to the
authorities.
Further evidence presented to the grand jury
alleged Gergely collected
a campaign contribution from Melocchi and
later wrote a check to a
colleague’s political campaign during a chain of
events that resulted in a
relative of Melocchi being
hired by the McKeesport
Area School District.
Gergely, 1943 Dearborn Drive, White Oak,
Allegheny County, represents the 35th legislative
district, which includes
McKeesport and various
other municipalities in
Allegheny County. He is
charged with two counts
of corrupt organizations
and one count each of
dealing in the proceeds
of illegal activity, criminal attempt/gambling devices, criminal conspiracy
and violation of state election code prohibiting cash
or anonymous contributions.
Gergely is expected to
appear tomorrow for his
preliminary arraignment.
Attorney
General
Kane stressed this is an
ongoing investigation and
additional charges are expected. She thanked the
Pennsylvania State Police
for its diligent work on
the investigation.
Gergely’s case will
be prosecuted by Senior
Deputy Attorney General
Mark A. Serge of the Office of Attorney General’s
Organized Crime Section.

Let it go: Reaction to stress more important than its frequency
UNIVERSITY PARK –
How you perceive and react
to stressful events is more
important to your health
than how frequently you
encounter stress, according
to health researchers from
Penn State and Columbia
University.
It is known that stress
and negative emotions can
increase the risk of heart
disease, but the reasons why
are not well understood. One
potential pathway linking
stress to future heart disease is a dysregulation of the
autonomic nervous system -a case of a person’s normally
self-regulated nervous system getting off track.
Nancy L. Sin and col-
leagues wanted to find out
if daily stress and heart rate
variability -- a measure of
autonomic regulation of the
heart -- are linked. Heart
rate variability is the variation in intervals between
consecutive heartbeats.
“Higher heart rate variability is better for health
as it reflects the capacity to
respond to challenges,” said
Sin, postdoctoral fellow in
the Center for Healthy Aging and in the department
of biobehavioral health at
Penn State. “People with
lower heart rate variability
have a greater risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death.”
Depression and major
stressful events are known
to be harmful for health, but
less attention has been paid
to the health consequences
of frustrations and hassles
in everyday life. Prior to this
research, very few studies
have looked at the relationship between heart rate
variability and daily stressful events.
Sin and colleagues analyzed data collected from
909 participants, including
daily telephone interviews
over eight consecutive days
and the results from an electrocardiogram. They report
their findings online in Psychosomatic Medicine. The
participants were between
the ages of 35 and 85 and
were drawn from a national
study.
During the daily phone
interviews,
participants
were asked to report the
stressful events they had
experienced that day, rating
how stressful each event was
by choosing “not at all,” “not
very,” “somewhat” or “very.”
They were also asked about
their negative emotions that
day, such as feeling angry,
sad and nervous. On average, participants reported
having at least one stressful experience on 42 percent
of the interview days, and
these experiences were generally rated as “somewhat”
stressful.
The researchers found
that participants who reported a lot of stressful
events in their lives were
not necessarily those who
had lower heart rate variability. No matter how many
or how few stressful events
a person faces it was those
who perceived the events as
more stressful or who experienced a greater spike in
negative emotions that had
lower heart rate variability
-- meaning these people may
be at a higher risk for heart
disease.
“These results tell us
that a person’s perceptions
and emotional reactions to
stressful events are more
important than exposure to
stress per se,” said Sin. “This
adds to the evidence that minor hassles might pile up to
influence health. We hope
these findings will help inform the development of
interventions to improve
well-being in daily life and
to promote better health.”

professor of human development and family studies, Penn State; Richard P.
Sloan, professor, and Paula
S. McKinley, assistant professor, both of behavioral

The sum of $1,620
was the amount realized
on the fair recently held
at Kersey under the auspices of the congregation
of the St. Boniface Catholic Church. As all of the
articles disposed of at the
fair were donated it is
probable that the expenses, which includes hall
rent and other incidentals, will probably reach
about $120, leaving a balance of $1,500, which will
be turned into the treasury of the church. This is
a remarkable showing for
a town the size of Kersey,
and Rev. Father Winkler
wishes to thank all those
who in any way assisted
him in making the affair
the grand success it was.
The senior class
of the St. Marys High
School, and a few invited
guests, were entertained
at the City Hotel last
evening by Mrs. Michael
Heindl, in honor of her
son, Raymond, a member
of the class. At 9 p.m. the
guests were ushered into
the dining room where
they partook of a sumptuous six-course dinner
prepared by Mrs. Heindl
and an able corps of assistants. The dining room
was beautifully decorated
for the occasion and the
class colors – blue and
white – were prominently
displayed. Following dinner the guests repaired
to the large parlor, when
music and singing was
indulged in until the wee
small hours of the morning, when all returned to
their homes voting Mrs.
Heindl and son Raymond
excellent entertainers.
The brand of weather prevailing in this section during the past six
weeks ought to satisfy
the most superstitious
individual of the fallacy
of the groundhog having
anything to do with the
temperature or storms,
or the like. The animal
failed to “see his shadow”
and therefore winter was
at an end, according to
the theories of those who
place their faith in the animal as a weather guide,
but cold blasts have been
the rule ever since, and
with three blossom time
only six weeks away, the
mercury was down to 26
degrees early this morning, while the streams
are ice-covered, and the
earth is laden with snow.
So much for the groundhog, which has as much
to do with the weather as
the high mogul of the Fiji
islands.
But everybody is
longing for the good old
summer time, with the
perfume of flowers and
the songs of birds, the
tooting horns of the ice
cream vendors, the music
of the hurdy-gurdy, and
the buzz of the bumble
bee. Come, gentle summer breezes! We bid you
welcome.

A daughter was
born this morning to Mrs.
and Mrs. A. J. Neubert, of
Hamburg, N.Y. Mrs. Neubert was formerly Miss
Mae Conway, of this city.
A case of considerable interest to persons
who endeavor by their
wills to hold their estates together after their
death for accumulation
was recently decided by
the Orphans’ Court of Elk
County says the Ridgway
Record.
George Weidenboerner, late of St. Marys borough, died some years
ago leaving quite a large
estate. In his will he left
the bulk of his property
to four of his children and
small amounts to his two
remaining children. The
will provided that the estate should not be divided
until after the expiration of 10 years from his
death, during which time
the income was to be kept
invested and added to the
principle of the estate. At
the end of the term fixed,
the amount so accumulated was directed to be
paid to four of the children.
The two children not
provided for through F. A.
Hauber, their attorney,
contested the accumulation provision of the will,
claiming same to be void
under the law, and asking that all the income
from the estate should
be divided equally among
all of the children in accordance with the laws of
the state. Messrs. D. J.
Driscoll and J. H. Thompson appeared on behalf of
the executors.
It was decided by the
court that the provision
of the will complained of
was illegal and the executors were ordered to file a
statement of all earnings
in the register’s office so
that such earnings might
be divided among all the
heirs, including the children contesting the will.

east and westbound tracks
to varying depths ranging
from five to 20 feet, and
covering the tracks for
spaces of 25 to 100 feet.
Freight traffic was held up
and all passenger trains
were blocked for from two
to six hours.
All the available men
between Williamsport and
Renovo, numbering about
300, were sent to the scene
of the slides, and after
working all night succeeded in getting the tracks
open at 4 a.m. yesterday
morning.
Some of the passenger
trains attempted to force
their way through the
smaller slides and in doing so damaged the pilots
to some extent.
The sandy condition
of the snow was largely
responsible for the slides,
which were the most extensive for some years,
but the road bed was only
slightly damaged.
The
euchre
and
dance held in the Gymnasium Hall last night was
largely attended. Dancing was indulged in on the
first and third floors and
euchre on the second. Following the discontinuing
of card playing, the second floor was also turned
over for dancing in order
to accommodate the large
crowd present.
That the Board of
Health is actively engaged
in enforcing the ordinance
regarding sanitation was
proven today when T.
B. Rosenthal was given
a hearing before Burgess Bauer charged with
dumping garbage on the
refuse dump near the ball
grounds instead of hauling
it to the garbage burner.
He was given a lecture by
the Burgess and let off by
paying the cost in the case.

Yesterday just before the noon hour, while a
freight train on the Pennsy was passing through
Ludlow, eastbound, at a
slow rate of speed, one
of the cars left the rails,
broke loose from the train,
and tumbled onto the public road, which runs parallel with the track.
The accident occurred
about 300 feet west of the
depot. The Kane wreck
crew was called out about
12:30 p.m. The main track
was not blocked by the accident.
A state license for
the manufacture and sale
of beer has been granted
to the DuBois Brewing Co.
and that concern is notifying its former patrons
in DuBois that it is again
prepared to serve their
wants.
The county license of
the brewery expired last
Saturday and as Judge
Singleton Bell had not
handed down a decision
upon their application for
renewal, they were automatically closed until a
state license was granted.
The 18 wholesalers and
one retailer, whose licenses also expired at the
same time and have not
yet been renewed, cannot
procure state licenses and
will remain closed until
the court renders his decision at least.

UPB financial aid director
honored by state association
BRADFORD – Melissa Ibanez, director
of financial aid and associate vice president of
enrollment management
at the University of
Pittsburgh at Bradford,
was recently recognized
for her service to the
Pennsylvania Association of State Financial
Aid Administrators.
Ibanez received the
President’s Award for
providing
exemplary
leadership to the association during 2015.
Ibanez is also the
director of financial
aid at the University of
Pittsburgh at Titusville.
She has worked at PittBradford since 1999.
In addition to managing the Financial Aid
Office and administering student financial aid
programs, she is a certifying VA official for the
campus.
She is also a member
of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators,
the Standards of Excellence Peer Review Team,
the Eastern Association
of Student Financial Aid
Administrators, and the
Northeast Association
of Student Employment
Administrators.
She
serves on many of these
organizations’ committees
and
frequently
presents at conferences
and provides training at
various workshops.
Ibanez volunteers at
Hill Memorial United
Methodist Church, serving on its council and
the finance committee,
as well as an usher and
head auditor. She also
has volunteered with
the Special Olympics
since 1999 and is active
with the Polk Center.
Before coming to
Pitt-Bradford,
she
served as the associate
director and director of
financial aid at Syracuse (N.Y.) University
College of Law and as
the assistant director
of financial aid at Seattle University School of
Law.
Ibanez holds both
master’s and bachelor’s
degrees in business administration from Pacific Lutheran University.
She and her husband,
Mack, live in Bradford.
many younger engineers
aspired to be like him.
He described him as a
“nerdy guy from MIT”
who didn’t thrive on the
glory that came later in
his career but that it was
well deserved.
“Like many inventors, the invention for
which he is known,
email, probably represents less of his talent
and imagination than
many other ideas and
projects he worked on
over his career,” Forsdick said.
Tomlinson was hired
by Bolt Beranek and
Newman, known as BBN,
in 1967. It was later ac-
quired by Raytheon Co.,
where he still worked at
the time of his death, as
a principal scientist.
He lived in Lincoln,
Massachusetts where he
raised miniature sheep
with his partner. Attempts to contact his
family were unsuccessful.
While more general
email protocols were
later developed and adopted, Tomlinson’s contributions were never
forgotten.
“He was pretty philosophical about it all,”
Kuzman said. “And was
surprisingly not addicted
to email.”

grees from Rensselaer
Polytechnic
Institute
and the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. And despite being
a famed program and
recipient of numerous
awards and accolades,
co-workers described as
humble and modest.
“People just loved to
work with him,” Kuzman
said. “He was so patient
and generous with his
time ... He was just a really nice, down-to-earth,
good guy.”
Harry Forsdick, who
commuted for 15 years
with Tomlinson, said he

Farm
use the land as readily as
before, and, in some cases,
it has been rented to local
farmers for different uses,
they said.
However, the Sparks
said they thought about
the property’s future, and,
with no one to pass it on
to, they looked toward gifting it to an educational institution.
“It’s bittersweet,” Jack
said of the decision.
Originally, the Sparks
were in negotiations with
another area university,
but a deal could not be
reached, they said.
It was at a holiday gettogether that Jack Makdad, a longtime friend to
the Sparks and 1985 Juniata graduate, seeded the
deal with the college.
“I knew they were
looking to do something
with their farm. ... They
didn’t want it developed,
and they wanted to do
something educational if
they could. I felt like Juniata would be a perfect fit
for them,” he said.
About a month after
the first conversation, the
Sparks began to show an
interest, Makdad said,
adding that they were
able to visit the college’s
Raystown Field Station, a
365-acre reserve on Raystown Lake used for environmental research and
education.
“It was what the
Sparks envisioned,” Makdad said.
Jack Sparks said he
was impressed with what
Juniata had to offer.
“It was an easy conversation with Juniata,”
he said. “They were all
very cooperative and very
interested.
Carolyn said she also
felt the college was a good
fit for the farm.
“It has been an honor
for us to work with a college that has the same interest as us,” she said.
The deal with the college was finalized at the
end of December, said
Rob Yelnosky, Juniata’s finance and operations vice
president.
A press release from
the college listed the property’s value at $1.2 million.
“They could have sold
this property for a hefty
price,” Makdad said. “They
are just great people, and
what an unselfish thing
for them to do.”
The plan is to create
an environmental center
where people will have an
opportunity to experience
the outdoors and use the
land as a living laboratory,
Yelnosky said.
The Sparks will continue to be involved, as
Jack Sparks said he and
Carolyn will sit on an advisory board for the property.
“And I still have access
to it; that access is still
there,” he said. “The name
will stay with it; the history will stay with it.”
In a statement, Juniata President James A. Troha expressed his gratitude
for and excitement about
the land donation.
“As longtime educators, Jack and Carolyn
recognize the advantages
of experiential education,
and their ancestral farm
offers an almost perfect
field experience for a wide
variety of disciplines ...
and its potential clearly
resonates with one of Juniata’s great strengths:
providing students different avenues to learn
through direct and varied
experience,” he said.
Last week, Carolyn
listed archeology, astronomy, biology, environmental
science and history among
some of the fields of study
that will benefit from the
land.
Yelnosky commented
on the many uses, as well.
“The opportunities are
limitless,” Yelnosky said.
“(Faculty members) were
immediately coming up
with things we could do to
provide students great experiential learning.”
Yelnosky said some
work has already been
done at the farm. Biology students took samples
from nearby water sources, and archeology students will soon start looking at the Sparks’ Native
American artifacts, with
a possibility of digging for
more.
“There’s a good chance
we will be able to find evidence of Native Americans
living there for the past
8,000 years,” anthropology
lecturer Jonathan Burns
said in a statement issued
by the college.
At least one other faculty member also spoke
about the academic benefits of the property, especially the ecosystem that
differs from the area near
the college’s Raystown
Field Station.
“This creates a kind
of ecological corridor connecting Raystown Lake to
a truly riverine headwaters system,” said Dennis
Johnson, an environmental science professor.
In addition to becoming an asset for the college’s students, Yelnosky
said the farm likely will be
used by the community at
large.
He said officials have
talked about outreach
programs for younger students - those in middle
and high schools. Also, the
farm’s rivers and trails
lend themselves to recreation possibilities, such as
biking and kayaking, Yelnosky said, adding officials
will begin work as soon as
weather permits.
Makdad, who’s visited the farm since he was
young, said it’s exciting to
know that people will be
using the land again.
“The property used to
be alive and vibrant, but it
has slowed down,” he said.
“I think this is great for
the property.”

Clearfield squads sweep D9 swim and dive titles
By Becky Polaski
Staff Writer
The District 9 Swimming and Diving Championships concluded Saturday afternoon at the St.
Marys High School Natatorium, and Clearfield
ended up winning both
team titles.
The Lady Bison won
the girls title with 372
points. The St. Marys
Area Lady Dutch were
second with 359, followed
by Bradford 198, and
Brookville 116. The Bison
ran away with the boys title, winning with a total of
425 points. Brookville was
second with 252 points,
followed by St. Marys
Area with 212, and Bradford with 117.
One of the highlights
of the day for St. Marys
came in the girls 100-yard
backstroke when Tayler Gnan set a new pool,
school, and District 9 record with a time of 58.49.
The previous pool and
District 9 record of 58.69
was set by Clearfield’s Nicole White in 1998, while
Gnan held the team record of 59.82, which she
set in 2014.
The girls 400-yard
freestyle relay was also
a record-setting event as
both Clearfield and St.
Marys broke the District
9 record time of 3:43.52,
which was set by Bradford in 1997. Clearfield
won the event in a time
of 3:38.17. The St. Marys
squad of Mandy Geci, Tayler Gnan, Hannah Lenze,
and Cori Wendel were second in 3:41.97, which was
good enough to set a new
team record. The previous
team record was 3:48.96
and was set in 2013.
Clearfield’s
Claire
Mikesell set a new District 9 and pool recording
the 100-yard backstroke
with a time of 1:05.56.
The previous D9 record
of 1:06.36 was set in 2002
by Clearfield’s Avy Mitchell. She also held the
pool record with a time of
1:08.24.
Clearfield’s
Chase
Bietz also set a new pool
record in the 500-yard
freestyle with a time of
4:52.39. The previous pool
record of 4:57.95 was set
in 2009 by Clearfield’s
Shay Flanagan.
Clearfield also set a
new pool record in the
boys 400-yard freestyle relay with a time of 3:21.43.
The previous pool record
of 3:23.92 was set in 2010
by St. Marys Area.
The afternoon began
with the 100-yard freestyle. Clearfield’s Paige
Mikesell won the girls
event in a time of 52.64.
St. Marys Area’s Sydney Pontzer was second
in 57.68. Dutchman Ben
Koss won the boys event
in a time of 47.85.
Next up was the 500yard freestyle. The girls
event was won by Hannah
Lenze in 5:31.03, while Bietz won the boys event in
4:52.39.
After that was Gnan’s
record-setting
performance in the 100-yard
backstroke, which she
won in 58.49. Clearfield’s
Nick Veihdeffer won the
boys event in 55.35.
In the girls 100-yard
breaststroke, Clearfield’s
Claire Mikesell turned
in her own record-setting
performance with a winning time of 1:05.56. In
the boys event, Clearfield’s
Peyton Priester won in
1:04.15.
In the final events of
the weekend, the Lady Bison team of Claire Mikesell, Talitha Narehood,
Paige Conrad, and Paige
Mikesell won the girls
400-yard freestyle relay,
and the Bison squad of
Isaac Swanson, Harrison

Dutch wrestlers come up short at PIAA NW Class AAA Regional
By Becky Polaski
Staff Writer
The St. Marys Flying Dutchmen had some
success at the PIAA NW
Class AAA Regional but
ultimately came up short
in terms of sending anyone to the PIAA state
tournament.
Dutchman Tyler Dilley ended up one win
away from advancing at
106 pounds. Dilley had
started the second day
of the tournament in the
semifinals at 106 pounds,
but ended up losing a
tough 1-0 decision to eventual runner-up Jeffery
Boyd of McDowell. The
loss dropped Dilley into
the consolation bracket,
where he faced off in the
consolation
semifinals
against Titusville’s Hunter Thompson. Dilley won
that match by a 14-9 decision to reach the thirdplace bout. In that match,
Cathedral Prep’s Brady
Sittinger ended up defeating Dilley by a 3-0 decision.
At 132 pounds, Dutchman Cameron Resch
opened competition Saturday in the second consolation round where he
won a 13-1 major decision over Meadville’s
Nick Rinella. The victory
advanced Resch to the
third consolation round
where he won a 9-4 decision over Jersey Shore’s
Austin Bouse. Resch then
took on Bellefonte’s Aaron
Witherite in the consolation semifinals where he
came up short by an 8-2
decision.
At 138 pounds, Garret
Cook also started his day
in the second consolation
round where he won a 5-2
decision over Bradford’s
Dillon Keane. Advancing
to the third consolation
round, Cook lost a close
6-4 decision to Warren’s
Jacob Engstrom.
At 152 pounds, Kyle
Pecht won by disqualification over Jersey Shore’s
Seth Young in the second
consolation round and
then won a 12-0 major
decision over Cathedral
Prep’s Alijandro Linan
in the third consolation
round. Advancing to the
consolation
semifinals,
Pecht lost a tough 7-3 decision to DuBois Area’s
Carson Hanna.
At 160 pounds, Brandon Cherry battled familiar foe Hunter Wright of
Clearfield in the second
consolation round, winning by an 8-4 decision.
However, Cherry lost an
11-4 decision to McDowell’s Ilyaz Vesylav in the
third consolation round.
At 182 pounds, Christian Steffan pinned Selinsgrove’s Joey Radel in
3:36 in the second consolation round and then won a
4-1 decision over General
McLane’s Riley Vaughn
in the third consolation
round. Advancing to the
consolation
semifinals,
Steffan lost a tough 3-1
decision to Bellefonte’s
Dillon Kephart in sudden
victory.
At 195 pounds, Mitchell Cashmer was pinned
by Central Mountain’s
Isaac Porter in 2:20 in the
second consolation round.
At 220, DJ Salinas
won a 7-2 decision over
Titusville’s Logan Nosko
in the second consolation
round and then defeated
Philipsburg-Osceola’s Micah Sidorick 3-2 in an ultimate tiebreaker in the
third consolation round.
In the consolation semifinals, Salinas lost a 5-1 decision to Hollidaysburg’s
Noah Worley.
At 285 pounds, Ray
Kline was pinned by Hollidaysburg’s Hunter Gill
in 2:23 in the second consolation round.
The
competition
marked the final matches
for seniors Pecht, Salinas,
and Kline. Other seniors
concluding their Dutch
wrestling careers this
season were Cameron
Winters and Nick Taylor.

BG ends Lady Crusaders season Saturday
By Jim Mulcahy
Staff Writer
CLARION — The Elk
County Catholic Lady
Crusader basketball team
saw their season come to
an end Saturday afternoon at Clarion University as they lost a 57-26
contest to the Bishop
Guilfoyle Lady Marauders in the first round of
the PIAA Class A tournament.
The Lady Crusaders
started out on the right
foot as they opened a 7-2
lead. But the BG press
caused problems for Elk
as they held an 11-7 lead
at the end of the first
quarter.
“Bishop Guilfoyle is a
very balanced basketball
team. We knew we would
get pressure but this was
a learning experience. We
did get off to a quick start
but we did not shoot it
well,” said ECCHS coach
Ken Pistner.
“We thought BG was
not a real quick team.
They’re quick but not real
quick. We tried to spread
the floor in the half court
and get some open looks,”
said Pistner.
“But we knew it would
be a challenge getting it to
half court,” said Pistner
about the BG defensive
pressure.
“One of the things going into this season was
that not many of our play-
ers had played together
before. We were getting
experience for a young
team,” said Pistner.
Elk Catholic was
led offensively by Cassidy Cunningham with 12
points on two twos, two
threes and a two for two
night from the foul line.
Josie Smith and Reilly
Herzing were next with
five points each.
Bishop Guilfoyle was
led by Lili Benzel with 15
points on seven field goals
and a one for two day at
the foul line. Anna Audley
was next with 11 points
on four field goals and a
three for five day from the
foul line.
Elk Catholic took a
3-0 lead on a three-point
play by Herzing. Darcy
Lee scored for BG to make
it 3-2. Smith sank two foul
shots and Herzing added
a field goal as ECC went
up 7-2. Guilfoyle scored
nine unanswered points
to take an 11-7 lead after
the first eight minutes.
Cunningham cut the
BG lead to 11-9 to start
the second quarter. Marina Scipioni hit a three
for BG, 14-9. Cunningham answered with a
three of her own, 14-12.
Buckets by Anna Audley and Benzel made the
score 18-12. Smith converted a foul shot, 18-13.
Guilfoyle went on an 11-0
run to open a 29-13 lead
with under a minute left
in the half. Cunningham
sank two foul shots with
37 seconds left in the half
making the score 29-15 in
favor of Guilfoyle at the
half.
Smith scored for ECC
to start the third period,
29-17. The Lady Marauders went on a 13-0
run to open a 41-17 lead
with 3:11 left in the period. Makenzie Cashmer
scored for ECC, 41-19.
Kierra Miller scored for
BG to give the Lady Marauders a 43-19 lead with
eight minutes remaining.
Guilfoyle scored the
first eight points of the
fourth quarter, 51-19.
Mackenzie Gahr scored
for Elk and Cunningham
added a three at the 3:22
mark and a two at the
2:31 marking to make it
51-26. BG scored the last
six points of the game to
win by a 57-26 score.
“Mackenzie Gahr has
meant a lot to this basketball program. She was a
leader on and off the floor.
About midway through
the season she was able
to step up and help this
team,” added Pistner
about his lone senior.
Game notes
The Lady Crusaders
ended their season with
a 13-14 record. They were
2-8 in District 9 League
play and 7-3 in the AML.

posting a 6-1 victory on
Sunday night.
“It was a really good
game for us,” said Nick
Bonino, who added goals
along with Matt Cullen,
Bryan Rust and Scott
Wilson. “The last time we
were in this building we
kind of did what we did
yesterday and had a bad
game and a bad effort.
With the Devils, if you get
a couple of goals early, it
opens them up a little bit,
and when they need to
press for goals, we were
able to take advantage of
it.”
Backup goalie Matt
Murray made 17 saves as
the Penguins rebounded
from a lackluster 4-2 loss
to Calgary at home.
“Six goals is a lot,”
Malkin said. “But again,
we were mad yesterday
and we came ready to play
tonight.

Peyton Manning to retire
after 18 seasons in the NFL
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.
(AP) — Peyton Manning
surveyed the landscape
of his brilliant career and
called one last audible.
He’s retiring a champion.
A month after Denver’s triumph in Super
Bowl 50, Manning informed John Elway he
is following his lead and
riding off into that orange
sunset just like the Broncos’ boss did 17 years ago
after winning his second
Super Bowl.
Just shy of 40, Manning will forgo $19 million
and a 19th season in the
NFL, where he served as
both a throwback and a
transformer during a glittering career bookmarked
by an unprecedented five
MVP awards and dozens
of passing records.
“Peyton was a player
that guys wanted to play
with,” Elway said. “That
made us better as a team
and I’m thrilled that we
were able to win a championship in his final year.”
The Broncos scheduled a news conference for
11 a.m. Monday.
Manning leaves the
league he helped popularize to supersize status as
its all-time leading passer
and winningest starting
quarterback, the only one
in NFL history to win Super Bowls with two franchises.
His first came in 2007
with the Indianapolis
Colts, who drafted him
No. 1 overall in 1998. The
Colts gave up on him after
a series of neck surgeries
forced Manning to miss
all of the 2011 season and
left him without feeling in
the fingertips of his right
hand.
A rare superstar quar-
terback on the open market in 2012, Manning resettled in Denver, where,
despite a right arm weakened by nerve damage, he
went 50-15 with his fifth
MVP award and two trips
to the Super Bowl in four
seasons.
So, defensive coordinators, you can breathe a
little easier today: Manning will no longer be on
the docket to wreck your
game plans and ruin your
designs on a title.
There will be no more
showdowns
matching
skills with Tom Brady or
wits with Bill Belichick —
against whom he was just
6-11 but 3-2 in AFC championships.
With no more defenses to dissect, the face of
the league since the turn
of this century no longer
has to be buried in an
iPad all day, nor will he
have to submerge his battered body for hours in a
cold tub in a labor of love.
“I get asked a lot
about my legacy,” Manning said before the Super
Bowl. “For me, it’s being a
good teammate, having
the respect of my teammates, having the respect
of the coaches and players. That’s important to
me. I am not taking this
for granted. I just love
football.”
The 18th season for
No. 18 was by far his most
trying on the field. He had
to adjust to new coach
Gary Kubiak’s run-based
offense, to unrelenting
health issues and to questions about his character
on his way to winning his
second Super Bowl.
Manning, whose dry
wit and star power has
made him a staple of com-
mercials and late-night
television for nearly two
decades, saw his squeakyclean image take a beating as the final pages
were flipped on his storied
career.
The NFL is investigating allegations that
human growth hormone
was shipped to his home
in his wife’s name following an Al Jazeera report
that Manning dismissed
as “garbage.” And in a new
lawsuit filed last month.
Manning was cited as an
example of a hostile environment for women at
the University of Tennessee for his alleged harassment of a female trainer
in 1996.
A torn ligament in his
left foot hampered Manning all the way back
to August. It led to his
worst statistical season
and sidelined him for six
weeks before that fairy
tale finish in Santa Clara,
California, when his defense carried him across
the finish line.
Constantly harassed,
never quite comfortable
— sort of the way the
whole season played out
— Manning walked away
with his second NFL title
after Denver’s defense,
with seven sacks and four
takeaways, all but handed
him the Lombardi Trophy
in a 24-10 victory over the
Carolina Panthers.
“He had to do several
things different this year,”
said his dad, Archie, a
former star quarterback
himself. “Had to take off
during the season, which
he’d never done before. He
ran the scout team, which
I don’t think he’d ever
done, and he dressed out
as a backup, which he’d
never done.”
Manning also had
to play the role of game
manager for the first time
during Denver’s defensefueled run to the title.
“I’m just glad I was on
the same team as our defense,” he said.
Although his teammates said his speech on
the eve of the game felt
very much like a goodbye,
Manning didn’t call it his
“last rodeo” right away,
saying he needed time to
reflect.
Denver gained only
194 yards against the
Panthers, the fewest for
a victorious team in a Super Bowl, and Manning
had but 13 completions
for 141 yards. Thanks
to a defense led by game
MVP Von Miller, however,
Manning became the oldest quarterback to win a
championship, a year older than Elway was when
he won his second Super
Bowl in 1999 before walking away.
Manning, who revealed at the Super
Bowl that he faces a hip
replacement in retirement, finished in a tie
with Brett Favre for most
regular-season wins with
186. His victory in Super
Bowl 50 was his 14th in
the postseason, one more
than Favre, making him
the NFL’s only 200-win
quarterback.
“There’s no question
that his work ethic is what
made him into one of the
great quarterbacks of all
time,” Elway said. “All the
film study Peyton did and
the process that he went
through with game planning and understanding
what the other teams did
was second to none.”

Northumberland County prothonotary charged
with stealing $12K from scholarship fund
HARRISBURG
—
Pennsylvania
Attorney
General
Kathleen
G.
Kane’s office announced
the arrest of a Northumberland
County
man
charged with stealing
more than $12,000 from a
scholarship and memorial
fund started in honor of a
longtime wrestling coach.
Justin Richard Dunkelberger, 38, was charged
following an investigation
by the Office of Attorney General’s Bureau of
Criminal Investigations.
Dunkelberger also is the
elected prothonotary in
Northumberland County.
According to a criminal complaint, investigators reviewed bank
records for the Lockcuff
Memorial/Scholarship
Fund, which was started
after the 2013 death of
Phil Lockcuff, the longtime wrestling coach at
Shikellamy High School.
The fund’s purpose was
to provide financial assis-
tance for the continuing
education of student-athletes.
The review of the records revealed several
alleged suspicious transactions
completed
by
Dunkelberger, who was
a signatory on the fund.
Moreover, a forensic examination revealed that
Dunkelberger wrote 10
checks from the fund and
deposited them in his personal bank account, the
criminal complaint states.
Those checks totaled
$10,320.
Additionally,
Dunkelberger is accused
of writing checks totaling
$1,800 to “The Friends of
Justin Dunkelberger,” a
fund that stemmed from
his political campaign.
The total alleged theft is
$12,120.
Dunkelberger,
142
Essex Lane, Northumberland, is charged with
one count each of theft by
unlawful taking or disposition, theft by deception,
theft by failure to make
required disposition and
misapplication of entrusted property.
His bail was set at
$10,000 following a preliminary
arraignment
today.
A
preliminary
hearing is tentatively
scheduled for March 8.
His case will be prosecuted by Senior Deputy
Attorney General George
R. Zaiser of the Attorney
General’s Criminal Prosecutions Section.
vative,” South Carolina
Sen. Lindsey Graham said.
While Graham made sure
to note that it’s “not like I
prefer Ted Cruz,” he encouraged Rubio and Ohio
Gov. John Kasich to “decide
among themselves” whether they can be a realistic
alternative to Trump.
Mitt Romney, the 2012
Republican
presidential
nominee, said Cruz is indeed “emerging” as the
chief anti-Trump candidate.
“I think a lot of people
were surprised by how well
Ted Cruz did,” said Romney, who has thrust himself back into the political
discussion with a searing
takedown of Trump in a
speech last week.
Romney has stepped
back into the spotlight at a
moment of crisis and chaos
for the Republican Party.
Leaders in Washington
who assumed hard-liners
such as Cruz represented
a minority view have been
left wondering if they’re
the ones out of step with
their party’s base.
For months, Republican elites have lumped
Trump and Cruz together,
arguing that neither could
win in November’s general
election. Cruz is an uncompromising
conservative
who has publicly criticized
party leaders, including
Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell, for what
he sees as a pattern of giving in too easily to President Barack Obama.
Cruz
particularly
angered Senate leaders
when he helped orchestrate the 2013 government
shutdown, which failed
in achieving the senator’s
stated goal of defunding
Obama’s health care reform law.
But Cruz has built a
loyal following among conservatives and evangelical
Christians. After winning
the leadoff Iowa caucuses,
he’s also beaten Trump in
five more states, more than
any other candidate.
Trump still leads the
field with at least 378 delegates, while Cruz has at
least 295. Rubio and Kasich lag far behind in the
race to reach the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the
Republican nomination.

Varied theories parse Trump’s
appeal to evangelical voters
By Rachel Zoll
AP Religion Writer
NEW YORK (AP) —
Donald Trump’s ability
to attract white evangelical voters has confounded
analysts.
The reality television
star and thrice-married
Presbyterian has said he’s
proud to be Christian, but
he also has said he doesn’t
repent to God for his sins,
has flubbed Bible references and has referred to
communion as “my little
cracker.” He says he is
firmly anti-abortion, but
in the past has supported
abortion rights.
Still, he has won the
support of a third of selfidentified
born-again
Christians across the dozen or so states that have
held GOP contests and
where exit polls were conducted.
What is the appeal for
evangelicals, who comprise a large segment of
Cruz
tory in Louisiana enabled
her to add to her commanding lead in delegates to the
party’s national nominating convention.
With 25 Maine delegates at stake, Sanders is assured of winning
at least 14 while Clinton
stands to gain at least six.
But his victory won’t have
much impact on Clinton’s
substantial edge overall, thanks to her support
among superdelegates —
members of Congress, governors and party officials
who can support the candidate of their choice.
When including those
party leaders, Clinton has
at least 1,129 while Sanders has at least 498. It
takes 2,383 delegates to
win.
In the Republican race,
the wary interest in Cruz
from more mainstream Republicans is the latest unexpected twist in a nominating contest where talk
of a contested convention
or third-party candidate is
becoming commonplace.

Rubio and Kasich desperately need to win in
their home states of Florida and Ohio on March 15
to have any credible case
for staying in the race.
Trump’s
lead
has
sparked a flurry of discussions among Republicans
about complicated longshot options to stop him.
Rival campaigns are exploring ways to prevent
Trump from getting the
delegates he needs to win
the nomination outright,
then defeat him at the convention in July. A small,
but influential, group of
Republicans has raised the
idea of backing a yet-tobe-determined third-party
candidate.
Trump has warned Republicans that they’ll lose
his voters if they try to take
the nomination away from
him.
“We have a tremendous
number of people coming in
and a tremendous number
of people showing up to
vote,” he said Sunday.
Graham and Romney
spoke on NBC’s “Meet The
Press.” Trump appeared on
CBS’ “Face The Nation.”
the GOP? Here are a few
of the many theories attempting to explain the
vote:
___
POLITICALLY
INCORRECT
After years of being
on the losing side of the
culture wars, on gay marriage and other issues,
and amid fears of marginalization of people of faith,
evangelicals are seeking
protection, even from a
candidate they may consider morally flawed, said
David Kinnaman, president of the Barna Group,
a research firm on trends
in evangelicalism and other traditions.
“They feel their faith
convictions are being
steamrolled,” Kinnaman
said.
In a January speech
at evangelical Liberty
University, Trump said,
“We’re going to protect
Christianity, and I can
say that. I don’t have to be
politically correct. We’re
going to protect it.” And
he promised, “If I become
president, we’re gonna be
saying Merry Christmas
at every store. ... You can
leave ‘happy holidays’ at
the corner.”
____
NOMINAL
EVANGELICALS
According to this argument, evangelical support has been exaggerated
because voters can identify themselves as bornagain Christians in exit
polls even if they’re not
at all active in the faith
or reject core conservative
Christian beliefs. Surveys
by the Pew Research Center and the Public Religion Research Institute
indicate more frequent
churchgoers are less likely to support Trump. Still,
many evangelical leaders
agree that Trump has surprised them by drawing a
notable share of the conservative Christian vote.
____
ALL BUSINESS
American evangelicalism has a strong entrepreneurial streak. Many
pastors have relied on the
principles advocated by
management guru Peter
Drucker to build congregations. Marketing and
branding are commonly
used, and staff often have
titles — such as chief
operating officer — borrowed from the corporate
world.
Trump, a billionaire
real estate developer, can
appeal to this group in
part on his business success. Last fall, he was
prayed over by several
prosperity gospel televangelists, whose views many
evangelicals consider beyond the mainstream, but
who still draw many followers.
____
FAITH IN
POLITICS?
Evangelicals are in
the midst of a major transition in how they approach politics. Religiousright institutions such as
the Moral Majority, which
emerged in the 1980s and
‘90s, are shells of their former selves or have closed
altogether. Few groups of
influence have emerged to
replace them.
Many evangelicals are
thrilled by the change.
Millennials
especially
tend to blame the rhetoric of the religious right,
on gay rights especially,
for a trend among some
in the general public to
equate Christianity with
bigotry. Young Christians
with such concerns would
be less likely to support
Trump, but they do point
to a movement in flux.
What should be the
new strategy? Depending
on which church evangelicals attend, they may not
have much guidance on
how their beliefs should
inform their involvement
in public life.
“Theologically, if you
were to ask what’s the

ANNIE’S MAILBOX®
COPYRIGHT 2001 CREATORS SINDICATE, INC.
Dear Annie: I have three siblings.
I get along great with my sister and
oldest brother, but my younger brother
drives me bonkers. The only time he
ever calls or emails is to brag about
how much money he has, how great
his kids are, and on and on. Yet, if I
ever try to say anything positive about
my family, he quickly interrupts and
tries to top me.
I am happy that he is so blessed
in life, but nobody’s life is as perfect
as he makes his out to be. My other
brother ignores his annoying habit and
my sister is always impressed with
his shallow, narcissist bragging. My
husband and I are comfortable financially, but we don’t feel compelled to
announce our business to the world.
I have started sending his phone calls
straight to voicemail.
Am I being petty to not want to
hear my brother’s constant bragging?
He lives in another state and when he
comes back to town, he never visits
me. I was hoping if I cut off contact, he
might get a clue, but I doubt it. -- Fed
Up Sister
Dear Sister: This seems to be a
rather minor issue over which to sever
ties with a sibling. We actually feel sorry for your brother. People who can’t
stop boasting about themselves tend
to be terribly insecure. They need the
constant reassurance that they matter.
We don’t doubt that it’s tedious to listen to, but you can ignore a great deal
of this with very little effort. Give his
emails a token glance and only answer
his calls if you feel up to it.
No one is perfect. Siblings can
be annoying. We cherish the good
parts and forget about the rest. If you
cannot find any “good parts,” and the
“ALL THE NEWS YOU CAN USE”
bragging is unbearable, then whatever
contact you have is up to you.
Dear Annie: You were surprisingly indulgent with “Still Hurting,” who
was upset that no one inquired about
her family in France after the terrorist
attacks. This person sounds seriously
high maintenance. She probably has
resentment issues in other areas of
her life. She should focus on the good
news that her family is safe, and share
this with others in a positive way, not as
way to create guilt. She may soon find
herself with no friends at all. -- Feeling
Judgmental About Your Advice
Dear Feeling: Many readers
agree with you, but not all. Read on:
Dear Annie: It was sad to read
the letter from “Still Hurting.” I’m proud
to say that I did not hesitate to call my
former girlfriend, “Michele,” who was
raised in France, to offer my condolences. She was grateful that I called,
but to me, it was only natural, almost
obligatory, to contact her. Maybe “Hurting” will learn, like I did, who her real
friends are. -- Still Hoping
Dear Annie: It is unreasonable
to expect our acquaintances to inquire
every time an incident occurs near our
family. If it was so important for her
friends to know that everyone was
safe, she should have broadcast the
good news. To expect friends to inquire
about everything that matters to you is
placing too much importance on your
own feelings. She obviously doesn’t
value her friendships if she is so eager
to cast them aside for what she considers insensitive behavior. -- Gary

The Daily Press
Official: Wolf to boost wages
for state workers, contractors
By Marc Levy
Associated Press
HARRISBURG (AP)
— Democratic Gov. Tom
Wolf was expected to sign
an executive order Monday ensuring a minimum
wage of $10.15 an hour for
all employees under his
jurisdictions and employees of Pennsylvania state
government contractors.
An administration official would not give any
other details about the order the Wolf is set to sign
Monday. The official spoke
to The Associated Press
on condition of anonymity
because the official was
not authorized to publicly
discuss the subject before
Wolf ’s announcement.
In any case, the Republican-controlled Legislature has shown no inclination to raise the state’s
minimum wage above the
federal minimum of $7.25,
one of the lower levels in
the nation. The executive
order could be the most
progress Wolf is able to
achieve on the subject,
given the partisan gridlock that has gripped the
Capitol in the past year.
The
administration
official would not say before Wolf can discuss it
how many people would
benefit, or how much it
would cost the state government. Currently, the
Pennsylvania state government directs more
than $70 billion a year —
potentially above $80 billion a year soon — in state
and federal dollars.
It was unclear whether it could potentially
apply to current or just
future contracts, and
whether the order could
include schools, universities, hospitals, insurers
and other organizations
that receive billions of
dollars in education or
Medicaid subsidies. It
also was unclear whether
it would include the billions of dollars that go to
road construction work,
or their numerous subcontractors.
Steve Crawford, a
chief of staff to former Gov.
Ed Rendell, said it would
likely be a provision that
is inserted into future
contracts. Crawford said
he expected that subsidyreceiving organizations,
like schools and hospitals,
would not be affected and
that many contractors,
such as those doing road
work or information technology, already pay above
the minimum wage.
“I don’t see it having
a large-scale, detrimental
effect on people who do
business with the state,”
Crawford said Sunday.
One effect of Wolf ’s order could also be to raise
the entire pay scale in
state government contractors.
Since becoming governor last year, Wolf has
asked the Republican-
controlled
Legislature
to raise Pennsylvania’s
$7.25 minimum wage to
above $10, and to tie it to
the inflation rate to maintain its buying power.
However, Republican lawmakers are not warm to
the idea and business advocacy groups oppose it.
The
subject,
like
many others, has taken a
backseat to the partisan
spending and tax battles
that have engulfed Wolf
and state lawmakers, and
brought gridlock unlike
any seen in decades in
Harrisburg. Wolf ’s move
might be similar to one by
President Barack Obama
in 2014, when he signed
an executive order requiring federal contractors to
pay their workers at least
$10.10 an hour.
Pennsylvania
is
lumped in with 20 other
states that, as of Jan.
1, had minimum wages
at the federal minimum
wage of $7.25 per hour,
according to the National
Conference on State Legislatures and the National
Employment Law Project.
Twenty-nine states and
Washington, D.C., have
raised their minimums
above the federal minimum. Those states include every single neighbor of Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile,
some
states that already have
higher minimum wages
are raising theirs, or considering it.
Sailors face more lenient body fat rules
By Julie Watson
Associated Press
SAN DIEGO (AP) —
The Navy is giving another
chance to thousands of sailors who otherwise would
be kicked out for repeatedly failing their physical
fitness tests because they
exceeded body fat limits.
The service branch
loosened its body fat restrictions in January and
is allowing those who failed
their exams three or more
times to get one more opportunity to be tested this
spring under the more lenient guidelines. The Navy
said it has been losing too
many talented sailors.
Some were resorting to liposuction, diet pills and
other measures to save
their careers.
The Navy allowed
about 2,400 sailors who
passed a preliminary test
under the new rules to
stay in, reducing the number of failures on their records from three to one,
said Navy spokesman, Lt.
Cmdr. Nate Christensen.
In the past, three failures
were grounds for being
kicked out. The sailors will
be measured again this
spring and allowed only
two failures now instead of
three.
The changes are the
latest by the military looking to improve its abilities
to recruit and retain talented people as it builds up
its cyber-warfare strategy
and faces competition from
a rebounding economy.
A 2014 Pentagon study
found that roughly twothirds of Americans would
not qualify to enlist in the
armed services as a result
of health problems, obesity
and the failure to complete
a high school education.
Navy Secretary Ray
Mabus said the service is
not lowering standards
but rather adjusting to
reality: People today, in
general, are bigger but not
necessarily fat. The Navy
is also considering larger
uniforms sizes for the first
time in two decades.
“It’s far more realistic,” Mabus said of the new
body fat standard. “We
were kicking more people
out of the Navy for failing
that, than for drugs.”
The number of sailors
booted from the Navy annually because they did not
meet physical standards
has more than doubled
from 694 in 2011 to 1,536
in 2014.
Richard Cizik, president of the New Evangelical Partnership for
the Common Good, said
the anti-Muslim and
anti-immigrant rhetoric
from some evangelical
leaders over the years
has primed a segment of
Christian conservatives
to favor Trump. Trump
has called Mexican immigrants
criminals
and rapists and said he
wants to temporarily ban
Muslims from entering
the country.
Cizik, who works to
build relationships between Christians and
Muslims, said the recent
anti-Trump declarations
from some prominent
evangelicals “strike me
as a little hollow.”
“After all, how many
of these leaders who
signed these statements
have come out before to
speak against anti-Muslim bigotry in the past?”
Cizik said. “Is there maybe just a little bit of hypocrisy here?”

REAP/SOW
According to this theory, evangelical leaders
over the last few decades
share part of the blame
for conservative Christian support for Trump.
After years of persuading evangelicals to seek
political influence and
power, Christians are
now following that advice too closely, putting
political interests ahead
of their values.

New rancor, tough talk in
Clinton-Sanders Democratic debate
By Nancy Benac and
Catherine Lucey
Associated Press
FLINT, Mich. (AP) —
Ratcheting up the rancor,
Hillary Clinton and Bernie
Sanders tangled aggressively in a presidential
debate Sunday night over
trade and Wall Street influence, with Clinton accusing
her challenger of turning
his back on a rescue of the
auto industry and Sanders
countering that Clinton’s
friends on Wall Street had
“destroyed this economy.”
It was a marked change
in tone for the two Democrats, signaling Sanders’ increasingly difficult effort to
slow the Democratic frontrunner. Both candidates
frequently interrupted one
another and accused each
other of misrepresenting
their records.
“Let’s have some facts
instead of some rhetoric for
a change,” Clinton snapped
at Sanders at one point.
“Let me tell my story,
you tell yours,” Sanders
shot back at another. “Your
story is voting for every di-

sastrous trade amendment

More than once, Sanders chafed at Clinton’s interruptions, saying, “Excuse
me, I’m talking” or “Let me
finish, please.”
Their disagreements
were clear, but still the debate’s tone was nothing
like that of the Republican
debate in Detroit just three
days earlier, a four-way
faceoff that was marked
by a steady stream of personal attacks, insults and
even sexual innuendo. The
Democrats’ faceoff, in comparison, was a more civil if
heated affair.
Sanders, who argued
with considerably more
edge than in past debates,
pounced early when Clinton
spoke about a need to keep
jobs from shifting overseas.
“I am very glad that
Secretary Clinton has discovered religion on this issue,” he said, then went
on to criticize her past support for trade deals that
he maintained had “disastrous” consequences.
Clinton, too, took the
offensive early on but more
often found herself fending
off Sanders’ criticisms.
In her most pointed
thrust, she said Sanders
had voted against a 2009
bailout of carmakers, adding, “I went with them.
You did not. If everybody
had voted the way he did,
I believe the auto industry
would have collapsed, taking 4 million jobs with it.”
Sanders countered that
the money for the auto industry was part of a larger
bailout package for Wall
Street, adding, “I will be
damned if it was the working people of this country
who have to bail out the
crooks on Wall Street.”
He referred to the overall
package as “the Wall Street
bailout where some of your
friends destroyed this economy.”
Ultimately, President
George W. Bush and Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson agreed to a $23.4 billion
for the auto industry from
the federal bailout money
for the financial sector.
