JOHNSONBURG
–
On Wednesday, Magisterial District Judge James
L. Martin oversaw the
commencement of a preliminary hearing for William D. Mercer Jr., 50, and
Kristin Lynn Mercer, 31,
who are facing a combined
326 felonies in district
court connected to the alleged misappropriation of
$496,823.38 from MCM
Trucking, LLC.
William, a part-owner
of MCM Trucking, LLC.,
and Kristen are accused of
forging checks and making
unauthorized transactions
on behalf of MCM Trucking for personal gain and
to financially support a
second business that William owns, Mercer Auto &
Tire.
Although the preliminary hearing for William
and Kristin was scheduled for Wednesday, all
witnesses were not able
to be called prior to adjournment; an additional
time will be scheduled to
allow for both sides to finish presenting evidence
before closing arguments

Diocese of Erie announces restructuring plan
ERIE – The Diocese of Erie
released its preliminary plan
for restructuring parishes in
the Eastern Vicariate, which
includes Cameron, Clearfield,
Elk, Jefferson, McKean, and
Potter counties on Wednesday
afternoon. While some mergers
are taking place throughout the
six-county area, the three local
parishes in the City of St. Marys
– Sacred Heart, St. Mary’s, and
Queen of the World – will not be
impacted and will remain standalone parishes.
The Diocese defines a standalone parish as being “a traditional parish with its own pastor, parish church, finances, and
finance council, parish council
staff, and office.”
Also remaining standalone
parishes are St. Bernard Parish in Falls Creek, St. Francis in
Clearfield, St. Joseph in Force,
St. Leo Magnus in Ridgway, and
St. Tobias in Brockway.
In addition to standalone
parishes, secondary churches
are also being created as part
of the plan. The Diocese of Erie
describes a secondary church as
being “any church belonging to
a parish, other than the parish
church itself. When two or more
parishes are merged together,
each of which had its own church,
the new parish will find itself the
owner of multiple churches. One
must be designated as the parish church, and the others called
secondary churches.”
The Diocese further explained in the release that “by
law, the Eucharist must be re-
served in every parish church,
and for that reason, every parish
church must be open to the faithful for at least some hours every
day. There is no obligation to
reserve the Eucharist in secondary churches, and without the
Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle, there is no obligation that
the secondary church be opened
every day. Secondary churches
would not have regular Sunday

St. Marys man
steals coworker’s
debit card
By Richie Lecker
Staff Writer
Bids for work on the high
school’s exterior walls were also
approved.
A low bid from Allegheny
Restoration of Greensburg for
sandblasting exterior walls in the
amount of $21,210 was approved
along with the lowest bid from C
& C Concrete and Masonry of St.
A St. Marys man is currently
incarcerated in the Elk County
Prison after allegedly stealing
a coworker’s debit card and attempting to make approximately
$2,500 in purchases at the Fox
Township Walmart.
Patrolman Drew L. Lehman
of the City of St. Marys Police
Department prepared an affidavit of probable cause against
Devin James Valentine, 22, of
129 Wehler Rd., St. Marys.
According to Lehman, he interviewed an individual, identified as “MM” in the affidavit,
about a stolen debit card on
Thursday.
“MM” reportedly first discovered that her card was missing
after she attempted to use the
card after work and couldn’t find
it; after visiting her bank, she discovered that someone attempted
to use the card eight times at the
Fox Township Walmart.
The victim reported to Lehman that she believed the debit
card was stolen from her purse
while she was at work at Elcam.
According to Lehman, the
victim reported that Valentine
was the only person she would
suspect of taking the card, adding that he had left work several
times throughout the day and
was the only person she knew
had left Elcam during the day.
Lehman reports in the affidavit that he traveled to Walmart
on Friday and was able to obtain
receipts and video surveillance
that implicated Valentine.
Four transactions were approved, while four were attempted but not approved. Additionally, three of the transactions
required a signature, which show
the name of the victim on the receipts, according to Lehman.

“There are still operations going on throughout
the troop, and it never
stops,” Neal said, “We’ve
been here two or three
times in the past year
with these types of raids,
and you’ll see that some
of these investigations go
back two years.”
Neal said that, in addition to these 17 individuals, two stolen firearms were seized from a
residence. There were also
three more individuals in
custody.
He said the problem
extends into other areas,
including Canoe Township, Indiana County, for
the same thing — heroin,
methamphetamine, opiates and pain pills —
which are causing this
opiate addiction in this
area right now.
“It is causing an uptick to every other type
of crime we have — from
child molestations to burglaries and thefts,” Neal
said. “We, as law enforcement, combat this on a
daily basis, 365 days a
year.”
Neal asked the community to help out law enforcement.
“Just because you
don’t hear from us doesn’t
mean we aren’t doing anything,” Neal said. “We are
doing something every
single day.”
Burkett, commended
the members of the vice
unit on their efforts.
“We have a society
right now marked by addiction,” Burkett said.
“We’re seeing a lot of addiction to narcotic pain
killers, which oftentimes
leads to heroin addiction,
and we’re reaping the
benefits of it.”
He said there are employers in this area who
cannot find enough employees to pass a drug
screen.
“There is a real problem, and we have to continue plugging away,” he
said. “The public can’t always see what we’re up to,
because these investigations are highly secretive
and have to be done in a
covert manner.”
Burkett said they are
constantly working on
drug law enforcement.
“I spend a huge percentage of my time on
drug law, and I know these
guys (PSP) are out there
plugging away every day,”
Burkett said, adding that
they’ll continue the battle.

“To those who continue to break these laws,
don’t take comfort that
you’re not on this list today, because we will find
you,” Burkett said. “We
will not quit; we’ll be back
here tomorrow starting
the same thing over again
to find new violations and
people who are pedaling
these terrible drugs on the
street.”
Petrovsky said he took
a look back over the past
six years: He said that in
2010, Troop C had six total
drug overdoses; in 2011,
nine; in 2012, 10; in 2013,
19; in 2014, 24, which was
the high point; Last year,
2015, was the first drop, to
15 drug overdose deaths.
Petrovsky said that
so far in 2016, there have
been six drug overdose
deaths, which puts Troop
C on pace for 22 to 24 overdose deaths.
“You can see how, over
the years, this epidemic
is forming, and it doesn’t
seem to be going away,”
Petrovsky said.
Petrovsky added that
there are drug drop-offs
around the county for those
who have used prescriptions that may be sitting
around in the medicine
cabinet. He also said they
are having a drug drop-off
on April 29 from 10 a.m. to
2 p.m. at PSP-DuBois’ station in Falls Creek.
“You bring the drugs
in, no questions asked,
we’ll have an officer waiting for you to drop them
off,” he said.
Petrovsky said Burkett is sponsoring a drug
drop-off program located
at the Punxsutawney Borough Police Station in the
Civic Center.
Burkett said drop
boxes are also located at
Reynoldsville and Brockway police stations, and
there is one at the Jeffer-
son County Courthouse.
Petrovsky said that
it would help if everyone
would just clean out their
medicine cabinets.
“When we talk to
some of these kids, when
they tell us their story, a
lot of them started using
the drugs in the medicine
cabinet, which are mainly
pills, and then it just escalates to heroin and moves
on to the stronger drugs,”
Petrovsky said.
He also noted that the
department always takes
tips on suspicious activity
that could be drug-related.
“If someone sees something doesn’t belong on
their street, people going
in and out at all hours,”
Petrovsky said, “you can
give us a call here at (814)
938-0510. I guarantee you
somebody will take that
information and work on
it. It may not seem like
we’re doing anything, but
we work around the clock
on this. It will remain a
priority in Troop C.”
He said they can see
the debilitating effect that
drug abuse has on these
small rural communities.
Neal added that drug
dealers travel to Pittsburgh daily purchasing
heroin.
“When they aren’t
down in Pittsburgh buying dope, they are up here
stealing to buy it,” Neal
said.
Burkett said the people involved are not in this
to make money.
“You find people who
have an addiction, and
they are fueling their addiction by going to the city,
buying drugs and then
selling them so they can
continue their habit,” Burkett said.
Neal said they were
assisted with the drug
sweep by Punxsutawney
Borough Police officers.

mere accusation and that
a person who has been
charged with any crime
is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a
reasonable doubt.
Petrovsky said Lt.
Christopher J. Neal, criminal investigation section commander, was in
charge of the operation on
Wednesday.
Neal said the warrants were issued for 17
individuals from Punxsutawney and the surrounding area. He said
some went into Indiana
County, but most of them
were served was in Jefferson County.
Neal said the drugs
they were targeting during this under cover operation are extremely
dangerous drugs and have
had a huge impact in the
community: heroin, opiates, prescription pain
medications and methamphetamine, predominantly.
“We’re seeing a huge
uptick in methamphetamine and heroin right
now,” Neal said, adding
that those are the most
dangerous drugs they
have on the street.
He said this was a
two-year
investigation,
and the work to combat
these drugs still continues
to this day.

AAA encourages Pa.
Legislature to strengthen
Child Passenger Safety Law
AAA East Central,
along with the Pennsylvania AAA Federation, the
state association of AAA
clubs in Pennsylvania with
over 3.1 million member
motorists, supports Senate Bill 1152: (Browne, RLehigh); Amends Title 75
(Vehicles) further providing for restraint systems
by requiring that any
child under two years of
age be fastened in a rearfacing child passenger restraint system, to be used
until the child outgrows
the maximum weight and
height limits designated
by the manufacturer.
“AAA strongly supports Senator Browne’s
Senate Bill 1152 to require all infants and toddlers to ride in a rearfacing safety seat until
they are 2 years of age,”
says AAA East Central
Legislative Affairs Director, Theresa Podguski.
“Industry research clearly
shows infants and toddlers should continue to
ride rear-facing until they
reach the highest weight
or height recommended
by the manufacturer of
the seat,” Podguski adds.
Although child passenger safety has dramatically evolved over
the past decade, motor

By Marc Levy
Associated Press
HARRISBURG (AP)
— Pennsylvania is set to
become the latest state
to legalize medical marijuana as the Legislature

parents of children suffering from debilitating

On Monday, Sergeant

According to Lehman,
Valentine admitted to taking the victim’s card and
using it at Walmart.
According to the affi-
Academy of Pediatrics
(AAP), in a policy update
published in Pediatrics
in April 2011, advised
parents to keep their toddlers in rear-facing cars
seats until age 2, or until they reach the maximum height and weight
for their seat. It also advises that most children
will need to ride in a beltpositioning booster seat
until they have reached 4
feet 9 inches tall and are
between 8 and 12 years of
age.
“In addition, parents
have to change safety
seats as their children
grow, so when they’re at a
different stage in life they
need to know what the
requirements are for that
stage,” Podguski states.
“Crashes are often outside parents’ control; however, properly securing a
child in a vehicle should
be a parent’s number one
priority. Therefore, AAA
strongly encourages the
Pennsylvania House to
approve SB 1152 to correspond with guidelines
from the American Academy of Pediatrics, to keep
children rear facing until
they are 2 years old, the
safest way to transport a
child.”

If you went to this year’s Chainsaw Rendezvous or read our
carver stories in the newspaper, you’ll remember the colorful Mr.
Gary Orange. He is the carver that shared his story about a tree
falling on his Land Rover [Simon’s buddy]. Well, Mr. Orange is in
the news again…he mailed me a New Zealand news clipping and
a letter last week. Gary said he had “speed carved” a mermaid
out of a piece of driftwood [Unfinished]. Somehow that piece drifted away “or about” and ended up on a New Zealand beach… “This
happened in Golden Bay, South Island, New Zealand this past
winter,” explained Gary. How funny, to think of that woodwork
bobbing up and down in the waves. [See photo]. “Here…I have
an article picture that caused a stir in New Zealand, it seems a
mysterious mermaid appeared on a beach. I will be emailing the
paper, just thought it was a bit of fun. I hope you are good and
Harlan J. Beagley
well, I trust my typing is easier than my Yorkshire accent to unPublisher
derstand,” said Gary. I remember his horse head bench he sold
in Ridgway last month. Those New Zealand folks must have a
thing for mermaids.
0HDQZKLOHLQ³XQUHODWHGPHUPDLGQHZV´
This is odd…in that same paper
Gary’s article [Above] appeared in, I
saw the headline: “Swimming like a
mermaid is the new extreme sport.”
Mermaid-style swimsuits have been
banned in New Zealand’s largest city
after being deemed a safety risk and
a distraction for beach lifeguards by
Auckland council [Oh my]. “Lycra
mermaid tails are a magical way to
have fun in the water.” I’m not so sure
that would be too safe in the Clarion
River or up at the dam. The suits –
which have also been banned in UK
public pools – fully encase the wearer’s legs from the hips down and end
in a flared fish tail [That would be fun
to see].

“We are all busy working and enjoying making more sleeping bags. Patty Greene,
a member of the Hallton Church, has taken mats to Florida and has said she will
take more to homeless programs in Pittsburgh. She is a blessing to so many people!
She contacted several shelters in Pittsburgh and in doing so has found a home for all
of the mats we can make. The Hallton Church members have a heart for all of those
they can help with their homeless program.
We have been receiving so many bags from many people who want to help too! Because we need more people who can crochet, we have been enlisting people who know
how to crochet but can’t make it to the Tuesday afternoon group. They are taught
individually, given bags to take home, work on them at home, and bring us back the
sleeping mat for Patty to deliver.
The Ridgway Area High School agreed to ask students to participate as their
community service. As we need more hands to keep up with this growing project,
groups such as the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and other civic groups are invited to join.
We are all amazed how so many are helping in so many ways!” said Debbie Leslie,
one of the organizers of the thoughtful project. Debbie also needs crochet needles
[The biggest ones] and more scissors. Debbie and her friends are making mats and
blankets out of little grocery bags for the homeless vets and other folks in the city. I
have yet another large load of bags to take down to her team. She said to thank the
other bag donation sites for the help and our readers for the overwhelming response.

We also have a nice letter from Debbie’s friend Shauna Miller: “We can’t
say “thank you” enough for the publicity about our mats for the homeless. The response has been wonderful! Today I will drop a box off at the
Johnsonburg Public Library in order to collect more bags here. Patty Greene
will be taking mats to Pittsburgh next week to be given to the homeless. What a
heartwarming project to be involved with! With so many working together we
can bless countless people. So, thanks again!” These ladies are amazing and so
kind. More on this later.

“That’s one good thing
about this game, we will
put that one in the back
pocket and show up tomorrow. That’s what we
can do,” added Azzato.

Saltalamacchia’s grand slam
lifts Tigers over Pirates, 7-3
PITTSBURGH (AP) —
Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit
a grand slam for his 100th
career home run, Shane
Greene pitched six strong
innings in his first start
since undergoing shoulder
surgery last August, and
the Detroit Tigers beat
the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-3
Wednesday night.
Saltalamacchia
connected off Arquimedes
Caminero (0-2) with two
outs in the sixth inning,
hitting a drive into the
right-field bleachers that
enabled the Tigers to erase
a 2-1 deficit. Detroit loaded the bases on a double
by Miguel Cabrera, a walk
to J.D. Martinez and Nick
Castellanos’ single.
It was the second
home run of the season for
Saltalamacchia, a 10-year
veteran who has taken
over as the Tigers’ primary
catcher after James McCann was placed on the
15-day disabled list Tuesday with a sprained right
ankle.

Penguins top Rangers 5-2
in opener; Lundqvist injured
PITTSBURGH (AP)
— Patric Hornqvist had
his first playoff hat trick
and the Pittsburgh Penguins pulled away from
the New York Rangers 5-2
in Game 1 of the Eastern
Conference quarterfinals
Wednesday night.
Hornqvist added an
assist, Sidney Crosby had
a goal and two assists and
backup goaltender Jeff
Zatkoff did just fine in his
first postseason start, finishing with 35 saves. Tom
Kuhnhackl also scored for
Pittsburgh, which took
advantage when New
York goalie Henrik Lundqvist left with a facial injury after the first period.
Game 3 is Saturday in
Pittsburgh.
Lundqvist played just
20 minutes after taking
a stick to the face from
teammate Marc Staal.
Antti Raanta was shaky
in Lundqvist’s place, stopping 16 of 19 shots.
Derek Stepan scored
twice for the Rangers but
New York never led as its
quest to knock the Penguins out of the playoffs
for a third straight year
got off to an underwhelming start.
The Penguins ripped
off a 14-2 surge to end the
regular season even with
Fleury sidelined since
March 31 with a concussion. He returned to practice this week and was the
first goaltender off the ice
during Wednesday morning’s skate, typically an
indication of who is starting. Coach Mike Sullivan
remained coy about his
decision-making process,
and when Pittsburgh
came out for warm-ups
in their vintage blackand-gold uniforms, Fleury
wasn’t even in uniform,
instead sitting in the press
box in a blue suit.
That left the job to Zatkoff, who’d played just five
times since Jan. 1 after losing his spot as the primary backup to rookie Matt
Murray. Yet with Murray
out indefinitely with a
concussion of his own, the
Penguins gave Zatkoff the
first postseason start of his
three-year career, or 110
fewer than Lundqvist.
Zatkoff didn’t exact-
ly look overcome by the
stage. Good thing because
his teammates gave him
little help early. New York
dominated the opening
minutes, throwing shots
at Zatkoff from all angles rather than trying to
set anything up. Zatkoff
lacks Fleury’s athleticism
but managed to scramble
when required, keeping
the Penguins afloat early
while his teammates took
time to find their legs.
Then, in an instant,
New York’s decided advantage in the net disappeared.
Staal was fending off a
Pittsburgh player in front
of the New York net when
his stick became wedged
in between the bars on
Lundqvist’s mask with 48
seconds to go in the first
period. The goalie who has
been the backbone of deep
playoff runs each of the
last two years writhed in
pain for several moments
before slowly skating to
the bench. He stayed in
the game long enough for
Pittsburgh to take the lead
when Hornqvist flipped
a rebound between Lundqvist’s legs with 18 seconds left.
Lundqvist stayed in
the dressing room at the
start of the second period,
forcing Raanta to unexpectedly make his postseason debut. He had little to
do until a stretch pass from
Hornqvist sprung Crosby
in alone. The wrist shot
zipped over Raanta’s glove
18:56 into the second and
the Penguins were up 2-0.
New York’s drew to
2-1 when Stepan stuffed
in a shot from the doorstep on a 5-on-3 but Pittsburgh countered with a
short-handed goal from
Kuhnhackl 5:31 into the
third and when Hornqvist
pounced on a loose puck
in the Rangers’ crease and
eased it in, the Penguins
were up three and in control.
Lightning 3,
Red Wings 2
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) —
Nikita Kucherov scored
twice and Alex Killorn
snapped a third-period tie
with his 11th career playoff goal, giving the Tampa
Bay Lightning a 3-2 vic-
tory over the Detroit Red
Wings in Game 1 of their
first-round series Wednesday night.
Ben Bishop had 34
saves for the defending
Eastern Conference champions, who got the winner
from Killorn less than two
minutes after a potential
go-ahead goal was waived
off when Detroit coach Jeff
Blashill successfully challenged that Tampa Bay
should have been called for
offsides before Victor Hedman scored.
Tyler Johnson picked
up a loose puck along the
boards and fed Killorn,
who slipped the puck past
Jimmy Howard at 8:52 of
the third.
Kucherov scored in the
first and second periods
and also assisted on the
winner.
Mike Green and Justin Abdelkader scored for
Detroit, which outshot the
Lightning 36-34 but had
few real scoring opportunities after taking a 2-1 lead
in the second period.
Bishop, who led the
NHL in goals-against average and was second in
save percentage, stopped
five shots in the final 1:07
to seal the victory.
Game 2 of the best-of-7
series is Friday night at
Amalie Arena.
This is the second
straight season Detroit
and Tampa Bay have met
in the opening round. The
Lightning advanced in
seven games in launching
a run to their second Stanley Cup final appearance,
and it doesn’t figure to be
any easier this year with
leading goal scorer Steven
Stamkos and defenseman
Anton Stralman out with
injuries.
The teams split four
meetings during the regular season, each winning
twice at home.
It took the Red Wings
less than two minutes to
turn a 1-0 deficit into a
2-1 lead, with Green scoring his 10th goal in 72 career playoff games at 2:11
of the second period, and
Abdelkader beating Bishop 1:56 later with a shot
through traffic that cleared
the goalie’s right shoulder.

Case
are made and Martin renders a decision.
The commonwealth is
expected to call one additional witness in the case,
and the defense is expected to call two witnesses of
its own.
During four hours of
proceedings on Wednesday, the prosecution, led
by Elk County District Attorney Shawn T. McMahon, called three witnesses to the stand to testify.
The first witness was
John Costion, a co-owner
of MCM Trucking and
treasurer of the company
during the time period of
November 2011 to December 2012, when William
and Kristin reportedly
misappropriated nearly
$500,000 in company
funds.
According to Costion’s
testimony, several checks
featuring forged signatures were made from the
MCM Trucking bank account to support upgrades
to a garage on William’s
property.
William’s
property
was home to MCM Trucking and Mercer Auto &
Tire for a majority of the
time period in which the
acts were alleged to have
occurred.
Costion testified that
all of the owners of MCM
Trucking were aware that
William was making upgrades to the garage on
his property, but he said
that it was informally
agreed upon that no MCM
Trucking funds would pay
for the improvements.
Several checks entered into evidence by
McMahon appear to show
that forgery and deception was used to use
MCM Trucking funds for
the garage upgrades on
William’s property.
The checks in question were made on behalf
of MCM Trucking, LLC.,
and associated invoices
point to William’s garage
work as the source of the
expense.
Costion testified the
checks in question were
used to pay several local
companies for work such
as grading, stone hauling and garage erection,
all activities attributed to
William’s garage work by
Costion.
Costion further testified that the checks in
question were never approved by him, saying
that his name was forged
on some of the checks,
while others he presigned but never authorized expenses.
At MCM Trucking,
two owners were required
to sign all checks; the
checks in question featured Costion’s signature
and William’s signature.
Attorney
Leanne
Nedza, representing both
William and Kristin, objected to the admission of
each check.
Nedza argued that
Costion was unable to
verify what work was
done or that the checks
could be connected to the
invoices that the commonwealth
associated
with each check.
She pointed out that
the handwriting connecting specific checks to invoices could not be verified by Costion and could
only be verified by the
contractors that wrote the
invoices, although those
contractors were not in
court Wednesday to testify.
She argued that the
invoices were hearsay
and could have been generated by anyone.
Martin
overruled
each of Nedza’s objections
to the individual checks
and allowed them to be
admitted into evidence
for preliminary hearing
purposes.
When given an opportunity to cross examine Costion, Nedza questioned whether an official
motion was made during
any company meeting
that stated that MCM
Trucking funds would not
be used for the garage on
William’s property.
Costion stated that no
official motion was ever
made.
Nedza also questioned Costion on the operating agreement signed
by the owners, which she
suggested may imply that
William, as MCM Trucking’s president, had authorization to make purchases that he felt would
improve the business.
Nedza pointed out
that several of the expenses attributed to misappropriation could have been
used to improve the facilities for MCM, but Costion
disagreed, saying that the
work was completed for
William’s personal gain,
not the company’s.
After Costion had
delivered his testimony, Jennifer Rieder was
called to the stand by the
commonwealth.
Rieder, a former secretary for MCM Trucking, testified that she had
worked with Kristin and
would see her forge the
signatures of William and
Costion onto checks.
This testimony was
given in support of the
commonwealth’s
assertion that William and
Kristin forged five checks
directly from MCM Trucking to Mercer Auto & Tire.
Although
William
was a mechanic for MCM
Trucking and would be
paid by MCM Trucking
for his labor, these five
specific checks had no associated invoices.
Rieder testified that
she believed the signatures on these checks
were forged by Kristin,
but when questioned by
Nedza, Rieder couldn’t
recall any specific recollection of Kristin signing
these specific checks.
The final commonwealth witness was Frank
Quattrone, another partowner of MCM Trucking.
Quattrone’s testimony focused on an alleged
stolen wire feeder and
the alleged unauthorized transfer of several of
MCM’s trucks.
According to Quattrone, when MCM attempted to retrieve a wire
feeder from William, they
were informed that it was
stolen, but upon further
investigation, it appears
as though William sold it
for $1,100.
Additionally,
Quattrone discussed the transfer of three MCM trucks
that William and Kristin
allegedly made.
According to his testimony, Quattrone claims
transferred
ownership
of three MCM trucks to
Mercer Auto & Tire.
Quattrone added that
this occurred during financial hardship for the
company, and it was significant in that the trucks
that were transferred
were the ones making
money for the company.
Nedza’s cross examination focused on Quattrone’s knowledge of the
value of the trucks, the
money owed on the trucks
and the amount of money that the trucks were
bringing into the business.
Quattrone
testified
that he was unaware of
the financial situation
surrounding the trucks.
In arguing relevancy,
Nedza argued that William and Kristin sold
the vehicle at a personal
loss as they assumed the
debt associated with the
trucks when ownership
was transferred.
She questioned the
idea of theft in that more
money was owed on the
truck than was received
ception Parish in Osceola
Mills as a secondary mission church, and St. Elizabeth Parish in Smethport will become a parish
church with St. Joseph
Parish in Mount Jewett
as a secondary church.
Along with parish
churches and secondary
churches, there will also
be the creation of mission
churches. According to
the Diocese, “secondary
churches with permission
for Sunday and holy day
Masses are called mission
churches. Catholic tradition supports the idea
that on Sundays and holy
days the faithful go to the
parish church for Mass.”
St. Agnes Parish in
Morrisdale will become
a parish church with Ss.
Peter and Paul Mission
in Hawk Run as a secondary mission church, St.
Basil the Great Parish
in Coalport will become a
parish church with Holy
Trinity Parish in Ramey
as a secondary mission
church, and St. Raphael
Parish in Eldred will become a parish church
with St. Theresa Parish
in Shinglehouse and St.
Mary Parish in Sartwell
both becoming secondary
mission churches.
There will also be the
establishment of partnered parishes. The Diocese explained that partnered parishes “share
some of their resources,
but they continue to exist as distinct parishes.
They function in many
ways like sister parishes.
While they have their
own parishioners, parish church and finances,
they share the same pastor, staff and parish office.”
St. Boniface Parish in
Grampian and St. Timothy Parish in Curwensville will become partnered parishes, and two
other sets of partnered
parishes will be created
through a series of steps.
In one instance, Our
Mother of Perpetual Help
Parish in Lewis Run will
first be merged with St.
Francis of Assisi Parish
in Bradford. St. Francis of
Assisi Parish will become
the parish church with
Our Mother of Perpetual
Help Parish as a secondary church. St. Francis
of Assisi Parish will then
become a partnered parish with St. Bernard of
Clairvaux in Bradford. A
similar situation will play
out in DuBois. St. Catherine of Siena Parish in
DuBois will be merged
with St. Joseph Parish
in DuBois, with St. Catherine of Siena Parish being the parish church and
St. Joseph Parish being
the secondary church. St.
Catherine of Siena Parish
will then become a partnered parish with St. Michael the Archangel Parish in DuBois.
As part of the plan, St.
Bibiana Parish in Galton
will remain a standalone
parish with Sacred Heart
Church in Genessee as its
secondary church. St. Augustine Church, formerly
a mission of St. Bibiana,
will no longer be a mission church. Instead, it
will become the secondary church of St. Eulalia
Parish in Coudersport.
St. Eulalia Parish will
remain partnered with
St. Gabriel the Archangel
Parish in Port Allegany.
Also,
St.
Adrian
Church
in
Delancey,
St. Anthony of Padua
Church in Walston, and
St. Joseph Church in Anita will all be identified as
secondary churches of Ss.
Cosmas and Damian Parish in Punxsutawney.
Immaculate Conception in Brookville will remain a standalone parish
with two churches. Immaculate Conception will
continue to be a parish
church with St. Dominic
in Sigel as its secondary
mission church.
St. Callistus in Kane
will remain a standalone
parish with two churches. St. Callistus will be
the parish church with
Ss. John and Stephen in
James City as the secondary church.
St. Mark in Emporium remains a standalone parish with two
churches. St. Mark will
continue to be the parish
church with St. James in
Driftwood as the secondary mission church.
St. Mary of the Assumption in Frenchville
will remain a standalone parish with three
churches. St. Mary of the
Assumption will continue
to be the parish church,
while both Ss. Peter and
Paul in Grassflat and St.
Severin in Drifting will
remain secondary mission churches.
Additionally,
Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin Mary Parish in
Sykesville will remain
partnered with St. Mary
Parish in Reynoldsville.
Wednesday’s
announcement was the
second of three related
to the planned restructuring of the Diocese of
Erie. The first announcement, which was related to changes in the
Northern Vicariate of the
Diocese, took place on
Tuesday evening. A final
announcement
related
to the Western Vicariate will take place today.
There is no Southern Vicariate.

St. Boniface Parish in
Kersey and Holy Rosary
Parish in Johnsonburg
will both gain secondary
churches as part of the
proposed plan.
According to the Diocese, Holy Cross Parish in Brandy Camp
will merge into St. Boniface Parish. The parish
church will be St. Boniface, with Holy Cross being a secondary church.
Likewise, St. Anne Parish in Wilcox will merge
into Holy Rosary Parish
in Johnsonburg. Holy
Rosary will remain the
parish church while St.
Anne will be considered
a secondary church. Holy
Cross Church in Rasselas
will also now be identified
as a secondary church of
Holy Rosary.
Additional proposed
parish churches and secondary churches are as
follows: Christ the King
Parish in Houtzdale will
become a parish church
with Immaculate Con-

ANNIE’S MAILBOX®
COPYRIGHT 2001 CREATORS SINDICATE, INC.
Dear Annie: I am a middle school
student, and I signed up for drama at
the beginning of the semester. I’ve
been working really hard at it.
The problem is, I failed one of
my classes (out of seven). Because of
that, I am not allowed to participate in
drama. I have a speaking role with 17
lines and I don’t think they can replace
me in such a short time.
This really upsets me, especially
because in the high school I’ll be attending, you only need to pass four
classes to participate in drama. What’s
worse is that they didn’t give me or my
parents any warning about how close I
was to failing. I did know that I wasn’t
doing well in that class, and I was trying
to bring up my grade. But I have anxiety
issues and get panic attacks when I try
to talk to teachers or people of authority
(even my mom).
My parents emailed the school
with a complaint, but I was wondering what you think I should do. -- Was
Ready for Showtime in New Hampshire
Dear New Hampshire: We wish
we could help you, but schools routinely penalize students by prohibiting them
from doing special activities if they fail
a required class. (It happens to football
players and other athletes, too.) Such
consequences are how schools hold
students accountable.
You can try talking to the drama
teacher to see if he or she would intervene on your behalf, and you also can
talk to the teacher who gave you the
failing grade, explaining that you were
working hard to improve and didn’t realize this would happen. If you have anxiety about talking to authority figures, try
imagining that you are in a play and this
is what your character does. It’s good
practice. You also can ask your parents
to speak to these teachers directly, instead of leaving messages.
But if this is the policy of the
school, there isn’t much you can do.
Consider it a learning experience, and
keep it in mind for high school, when
you can try out for drama and be motivated to put your grades first. We know
you’ll do better.
Dear Annie: I am writing in response to the letter signed, “Is This
Normal,” whose girlfriend bounces her
10-year-old son on her lap for 30 minutes.
Your response was not strong
enough. This is child abuse. This mother should immediately be reported to
the Department for Children and Family
Services in their local community. The
entire family can then receive the help
they need, and this child can be protected. The report can be anonymous
and can be done by calling the Department directly or by notifying the local
police.
Please tell “Normal” to take the
steps to protect this child from further
abuse, and also to protect his young
sister from having to watch her brother
be abused on a daily basis. -- Social
Worker
Dear Social Worker: Many readers suggested that this mother is a child
molester. Perhaps so. But we think she
is simply misguided and has gotten into
a bad situation that she doesn’t recognize or know how to fix. Whatever the
case, we agree that the situation must
be dealt with immediately.

Penn State survey finds sexual
misconduct is common
By Mark Scolforo
Associated Press
STATE
COLLEGE
(AP) — A survey of sexual
misconduct at Penn State’s
main campus found that
more than three-quarters
of undergraduate women
have experienced offensive or harassing behavior
from other students, university officials announced
Wednesday.
The Penn State Sexual
Misconduct Climate Survey was completed in fall
2015 by nearly 3,000 of
the campus’ approximately 40,000 undergraduates,
and more than 1,600 graduate students.
The survey says 28
percent of undergraduate women and 6 percent
of men were the victim of
at least one attempted or
completed oral, vaginal or
anal sexual assault, similar to the findings of 29
percent and 7 percent in a
national study by the Association of American Universities.
About one out every
five Penn State under-
graduate women responding to the survey reported
being sexually assaulted
while they were too drunk
or incapacitated to know
what was happening.
Student affairs vice
president Damon Sims
said at a news conference
in the HUB-Robeson Center student union that the
results underscore the relationship between sexual
misconduct and the use of
alcohol and drugs, which
he said was “a challenge
that has been eternally
vexing, it seems.”
The report said 30
percent of all undergrads
reported that someone
had tried to establish a
romantic, sexual relationship despite the students’
attempts to discourage it.
For women, the number
was more than 40 percent.
The unwanted advances included attempts to
stroke, fondle or kiss the
student.
The most common reason for not reporting incidents of stalking, violence
or nonconsensual sexual
contact was a feeling it
would cause more trouble
than it was worth. SignifiA-One Painting

“Every day we roll

Brann, whose 5-year-old
son, Garrett Brann, has
a severe form of epilepsy
known as Dravet syndrome.
The bill sets standards for tracking marijuana plants, certifying
physicians and licensing
growers,
dispensaries
and physicians. Patients
could take marijuana
in pill, oil, vapor or liquid form but would not
be able to legally obtain
marijuana to smoke or to
grow their own.
The
Pennsylvania
Medical Society opposed
the bill. Its president
said in a statement it has
serious concerns about
the effectiveness of medical marijuana but hopes
patients, especially children, see positive outcomes.
One opponent, Rep.
Matt Baker, R-Tioga,
warned that the bill violates federal drug laws
and that the state would
see a drastic impact on
addiction and abuse.
“There’s serious consequences
associated
with this monumental
piece of legislation,” Baker told colleagues during
floor speech before the
vote.
In Ohio on Wednesday, state lawmakers
set an aggressive schedule for legislation that
would allow licensed doctors to prescribe edibles,
patches, plant material
if the evidence warrants
the case’s progression.
Overall, William is
charged with 160 felonies,
which includes multiple

Kristin faces 166 felonies; she faces felonies in
the same categories as
William, but Kristin also
has felony charges of forgery - unauthorized act in

Court was adjourned
shortly after 5 p.m. At
press time, no date or
time was given for the
case to reconvene.
