charter slated
in Highland
Township
By Ted Lutz
Staff Writer
JAMES CITY – A proposed "Home Rule" charter will be drafted for
Highland Township.
The township's volunteer Government Study
Commission agreed Sunday to draft "Home Rule"
regulations to replace the
current state code that
guides the township government.
The decision came
after a 95-minute public
hearing at the township

The

A majority of township voters must approve

The thought of programs at
area parks typically brings to
mind outdoor events that require
dry weather. However, occasionally staffs at the local parks do
schedule indoor events as well.
Coincidentally, both Memorial
Park and Benzinger Park both
had such events on their schedules for Saturday, and it ended up
providing area youth with the opportunity to still get out and have
a good time despite the rainy
weather.
Memorial Park staff hosted a
NBA2k16 video game tournament
in the park's scout house, and it
was attended by roughly 10 individuals. Two video game consoles
were set up on opposite sides of
the building so that players could
compete against each other without interruption. Those who were
not actively playing at the time
gathered around to watch, and
park staff indicated that many of
the games had been close.
Across town at Benzinger
Park, staff members held a ping
pong tournament during the afternoon. Seven players turned out
for the event, which was held in
the park pavilion. Two ping pong
tables were set up to allow games
to take place concurrently.

In 1992, when the
Bellefonte, Centre County, native began as show
manager upon the retirement of former longtime
manager Joe Harrington,
Ag Progress Days had 285
exhibitors. By comparison, the 2016 show will
have about 500. Representatives of most of the
big agricultural equipment makers now have a
presence at the show, and
many demonstrate their
machines.
And when Oberheim
started overseeing the
show, all exhibitors were
under tents. Now, many
exhibits are in buildings.
"Looking back at 25 years,
what I've been so pleased
with is the increase and
improvement in the facilities --we have added
seven new buildings," he
said.
"I guess my pride
and joy are the two large
buildings, the Ag Choice
and the Everett Cash
Mutual buildings. On the
first day I took over managing the show, one of my
goals was to eliminate the
big exhibit tents and build
permanent buildings, and
we did. Structures like the
Equine Building and the
Joe Harrington Conservation Building -- which
went up just a few years
ago -- have added a lot to
the show. "
It is understandable
for Oberheim to reflect on
his tenure as Ag Progress
Days manager for the College of Agricultural Sciences -- because the 2016
show, Aug. 16-18, will be
the last one he oversees.
He is retiring from the
University after 39 years,
on Sept. 30.
From
his
catbird
seat viewing agriculture,
Oberheim, who also has
managed the college's
Horticulture Farm for
29 years, has seen a lot.
Most notable is the development of bigger, better,
more capable and more
sophisticated
farming
equipment. Like most ev-
erything else, agriculture
has been greatly affected
by the computer age.
"I have seen the technology boom with GPS
on planters, tractors and
sprayers, and hands-free
tractor driving. And the
size of the equipment has
increased dramatically,"
he said. "We now have
90-foot sprayers, 12-row
planters and huge, selfpropelled harvesters. I
have watched with great
interest the computerization of agriculture -- how
it has evolved over the
last three decades."
At first, he was pessimistic about how that
same technology boom
would affect his show.
Many outdoor trade and
consumer shows -- indeed
all kinds of shows indoor
and outdoor -- are struggling to stay profitable
and survive. But Ag Progress Days has managed to
hold its own through the
years, despite the emergence of the internet and
online shopping, browsing
and searching.
Oberheim credits the
show’s ongoing success to
its unique make-up, first
in highlighting the College
of Agricultural Sciences'
research, technology and
extension programs while
remaining dedicated to
serving agricultural producers. "I think the true
producer looks at Ag Progress Days as a vacation
to do something with the
family that is enjoyable
because the show has
something for everyone.
And they can shop for
and buy equipment -- because of that I think we've
stayed strong," he said.
"The other thing I attribute the success of the
show to is that we have
stayed true to our audience. You won't see pots
and pans, paintings, and
crafts. Because of that, the
producer is more apt to
attend, and he is pleased
with what he sees when
he comes. And I think the
commercial exhibitors are
thrilled with the quality of
the ag audience. The audience we have is about 60
percent related to agriculture."
But it is true that show
attendance has declined
by 10,000 to 15,000 people
in the last 25 years or so,
a result of the shrinking
agricultural sector in the
state. "There are probably
half as many farms today
as when I started," he
said. "Show attendance on
average has been 40,000
to 42,000 people the last
few years, and when I
took over in 1992, we had
55,000 to 60,000 people."
Oberheim has also
served as secretary of the
Farm Show Commission
for 21 years. In that role
he has coordinated and
overseen the College of
Agricultural Sciences' involvement in the Pennsylvania Farm Show. That's
a big job because Penn
State's contribution to the
annual, sprawling agricultural extravaganza in
Harrisburg is huge. Oberheim has been responsible
for managing travel, lodging and appearances for
hundreds of faculty and
staff at the Farm Show -a role he described as the
"behind the scenes support person."
Through it all, Oberheim, who graduated from
Delaware Valley College
with a bachelor's degree in
agronomy and who earned
a master's degree in
agronomy while working
at Penn State, believes he
has had a charmed career
with the University. From
his first job as a research
technologist in the agronomy department in 1979
to putting the finishing
touches on this year's version of Ag Progress Days,
he has enjoyed it all.
He noted that Ag Progress Days is a little like
Christmas in August for
him -- the gradual buildup to the event while paying attention to a to-do
list, and Monday night
before the show is like
Christmas Eve. "When I
get there Tuesday morning early for the show, it's
like opening presents -everything is all clean and
polished and exhibitors
are there waiting for customers. The energy level
is high, and I like to just
sit back and watch it all
unfold," he said.
"That's where my rewards came. I have been
so blessed because I have
not come to work a single
day in 39 years without
enjoying it. I've had a good
run."
Skydiver becomes first person to jump and land without chute
LOS ANGELES (AP)
— A 42-year-old skydiver
with more than 18,000
jumps made history Saturday when he became
the first person to leap
without a parachute and
land in a net instead.
After a two-minute
freefall, Luke Aikins
landed dead center in the
100-by-100-foot net at
the Big Sky movie ranch
on the outskirts of Simi
Valley.
As cheers erupted, Aikins quickly climbed out,
walked over and hugged
his wife, Monica, who had
been watching from the
ground with their 4-yearold son, Logan, and other
family members.
"I'm almost levitat-
ing, it's incredible," the
jubilant skydiver said,
raising his hands over
his head as his wife held
their son, who dozed in
her arms.
The stunt, broadcast
live on the Fox network
for the TV special "Stride
Gum Presents Heaven
Sent," nearly didn't come
off as planned when Aikins revealed just before
climbing into his plane
that the Screen Actors
Guild had ordered him to
wear a parachute to ensure his safety.
Aikins didn't say
what prompted the original restriction, and representatives for the show
and the Screen Actors
Guild did not immediate-
ly respond to phone and
email messages.
Aikins said he considered pulling out at that
point because having
the parachute canister
on his back would make
his landing in the net far
more dangerous. If he
had to wear it he said he
wouldn't bother to pull
the ripcord anyway.
"I'm going all the way
to the net, no question
about it," he said from
the plane. "I'll just have
to deal with the consequences when I land of
wearing the parachute on
my back and what it's going to do to my body."
A few minutes before the jump one of the
show's hosts said the re-
quirement had been lifted. Aikins left the plane
without the chute.
He jumped with three
other skydivers, each
wearing parachutes. One
had a camera, another
trailed smoke so people
on the ground could follow his descent and the
third took an oxygen canister he handed off after
they got to an altitude
where it was no longer
needed.
Then
the
others
opened their parachutes
and left him on his own.
Aikins admitted before the jump he was nervous and his mother said
she was one family member who wouldn't watch.
When his friend Chris
Talley came up with the
idea two years ago, Aikins acknowledged he
turned it down cold.
"I kind of laugh and I
say, 'Ok, that's great. I'll
help you find somebody to
do it,'" he told The Associated Press as he trained
for the jump last week.
A couple of weeks after Talley made his proposal Aikins called back
and said he would do it.
He'd been the backup
jumper in 2012 when
Felix Baumgartner became the first skydiver to
break the speed of sound
during a jump from 24
miles above Earth.
The 42-year-old daredevil made his first tandem jump when he was
12, following with his
first solo leap four years
later. He's been racking
them up at several hundred a year ever since.
His father and grandfather were skydivers,
and his wife has made
2,000 jumps. His family
owns Skydive Kapowsin
near Tacoma, Washington.
Aikins is also a safety
and training adviser for
the United States Parachute Association and
is certified to teach both
students and skydiving
instructors. His business Para Tactics provides skydiving training
to Navy Seals and other
members of elite fighting
forces.

We Can't Bomb Our
Way To Better Schools
"A nation that continues year after year to
spend more money on
military defense than on
programs of social uplift
is approaching spiritual
death." – Dr. King
From the left and the
right, policy proposals
are flying fast and furious. It is an election year,
after all. But one topic is
completely off the agenda
from both sides of the
party line: decreasing
military spending.
Today's political candidates are universally
unwilling to discuss the
military budget, overseas aggression, nuclear
weapons, militarism, or
imperialism - except to
recommend more of it.
The problem is, we can't
bomb our way into better
schools.
Year after year, we continue to pour our tax dollars into the war budget at
the expense of other social
programs. And, even as
we overfund the military
contractors, we also fail to
care for our veterans and
renege on our recruitment
promises of education and
jobs for the youth. Neither
of the two major-party
presidential candidates
will discuss ending the
endless war, bringing our
troops home, or investing in improving the
infrastructure, education,
and opportunities here at
home.
Those who study the
rise and fall of empires
know that the obsession
with military expansion, and the pouring of
a nation's resources into
militarism at the expense
of other programs leads to
collapse. The fall of many
powerful empires throughout human history has
been preceded by such a
cycle. Regardless of one's
views on whether or not
the United States should
be pursuing the goal of
imperialism, the obvious
truth is that we are, in
fact, a heavily militarized
empire, with five colonial
territories, and nearly 700
military bases in countries
around the world.
We're operating on
increasingly shaky
ground. As we head into
the elections, where are
the candidates who will
frankly acknowledge this
danger? Who will commit
to investing in our youth,
our communities, and our
people? Will we continue
to obsessively and aggressively try to demonstrate
our greatness through
military might or will we
find ways to humbly and
compassionately strive for
basic goodness - not even
greatness - in the way we
treat one another here at
home?
We may be modern
people with smartphones,
airplanes, and entrenched
beliefs in our political divisions, but at the end of the
day, human values haven't
changed much. We're still
hoping and longing for the
same things. We all want
our kids to be healthy.
We want our schools to be
engaging and empowering. We want our communities to be safe. We
want to have enough. We
don't want to be hungry or
homeless. We don't want
bombs dropping on our
heads. We want meaningful opportunities for our
young people (and ourselves). We want a world
for our great, great-grandchildren.
The question is: how
do we get those things?
Although the policies,
platforms, and proposals
abound, one thing is clear:
continuing to overfund the
military at the expense of
programs of social uplift is
not going to improve the
situation of the average
American. As Dr. King
adroitly pointed out so
many years ago, we are
approaching spiritual
death by continuing on
this path. At the end of
our endless wars, what
are we defending? As we
gut our schools, incarcerate our populace, over-police our poor communities,
let roads and infrastructure crumble, what
exactly are we sending our
sons and daughters overseas to protect? We cannot
bomb our way into better
schools. Instead, we must
beat the swords of our
bombers into plowshares,
study war no more, and
rebuild the spiritual,
moral, and cultural integrity of our nation.

What We Wear: Another Way to 'Vote'
For more than two
decades, more and more
Americans have become
aware of the exploitation
and violence associated
with much of the globalized garment industry
producing more than 95
percent of our clothes. A
series of media exposures,
including the 1996 revelation that TV host Kathy
Lee Gifford had endorsed
a clothing line produced
by Honduran children
in sweatshop conditions,
spurred a growing consciousness of labor abuses
in many countries.
These exposures highlighted the persistent use
of child labor, the absence
of living wages that could
sustain a decent livelihood for millions of workers, and the prevalence
of unsafe working conditions. The latter issue was
thrust dramatically into
public awareness by the
collapse in April, 2013 of
Rana Plaza, an eight-story commercial building in
Dhaka, Bangladesh that
housed a number of garment companies supplying brands like Children's
Place, Benetton, Cato
Fashions, and the parent
company of Calvin Klein
and Tommy Hilfiger. The
collapse of the building,
which many workers had
warned was unsafe, killed
1,139 workers and injured
2,500 more.
Although many of
the major brands made
public commitments to
rectify such abuses, they
continue to shed direct
responsibility by contracting with local suppliers
and subcontractors in different countries. They can
easily move from country
to country, supplier to
supplier, to keep prices
competitive while exerting downward pressure on
workers' wages and working conditions.
This dynamic, too, has
gained media attention
along with the abuses
themselves. TV satirist
John Oliver focused on
it last year in a segment
of his show, "Last Week
Tonight," while filmmaker
Andrew Morgan devoted
an entire documentary,
The True Cost, to exposing the system and its
detrimental effects on
millions of people. Both
Oliver and Morgan
unveiled visual evidence
of profound inequity, yet
exploitation and deprivation persist while fashion industry executives
have become some of the
wealthiest people on the
planet (e.g. Stefan Persson of H&M worth $28
billion; Amancio Ortega of
Zara worth $57 billion).
Global Citizen
Many consumers who
become aware of these
problems are left with
uncertainty as to a responsible course of action.
Some have begun to look
to fair trade certification
as an answer, seeking out
businesses that promise adherence to ethical
labor and environmental
standards. Yet considering
the vast preponderance of
garments manufactured
by major brands, a number of critics argue that
for the 40 million gar-
ment workers worldwide,
a more comprehensive,
sector-wide approach is
needed.
One possible beginning
step for individuals is a
basic one: moving beyond
the identity of "ethical
consumer" to embrace the
broader, more responsive
identity of global citizen.
The former is still closely
identified with the products we choose, the latter
with an awareness of the
social relations defined
by a globalized capitalist economy. As a more
encompassing term,
citizenship entails a responsibility for continuing
self-education no matter
what one's stage of life
may be.
From this perspective,
it may well be worth one's
while to visit the websites
of organizations like the
Clean Clothes Campaign
and the Asia Floor Wage
Alliance. These umbrella
organizations represent
broad coalitions of trade
unions and human rights
organizations, and their
response to the issues is
political. They engage in
advocacy, lobbying, and
public education to support garment workers'
rights (including freedom
of association and union
representation) across the
national boundaries that
transnational corporations so easily traverse.
The Asia Floor Wage Alliance makes a crucial distinction between the legal
minimum wage in many
of the producing countries
and a living wage that
enables workers to sup-
port themselves and their
families with dignity. And
these organizations offer
ways that individuals
can help take a stand in
solidarity with workers,
including (on the Clean
Clothes website) a link
that provides information
on the corporate behavior
of specific labels.
It may be objected that
with so many American
jobs already lost overseas,
our focus should stay
squarely on retaining
and growing jobs here at
home. Yet the garment
industry is itself a prime
example of outsourcing;
it wasn't very long ago
that most of the clothes
purchased in the U.S.
were made by American
workers. The same global
economics affecting the
welfare of workers in
Bangladesh or Cambodia
affect the welfare of workers here.
More than 50 years ago,
Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr. wrote from Birmingham, Alabama, "Injustice
anywhere is a threat to
justice everywhere. We
are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality
tied in a single garment of
destiny." If he had written
those words today from
Dhaka or Mumbai, Phnom
Penh or Jakarta, they'd
ring as true now as they
ever did.

engineering student at
the University of Texas in
Austin, went on an armed
rampage that killed 14
people, most of whom were
shot by Whitman while he
was perched in the clock
tower of the main campus
building. Whitman, who
had also slain his wife and
mother hours earlier, was
finally gunned down by police.

Thomas K. Krug Sr.,
59, of 8342 state Route
219, Brockway, died unexpectedly Friday, July 29,
2016 at his residence.
He was born April 16,
1957 in St. Marys, son
of the late Hilary Krug
and Lillian McClintock
Krug, who survives, of St.
Marys. He was a lifelong
resident of the area, residing the past five years
in Brockway, and was a
graduate of St. Marys
Area High School, Class of
1975. He was an employee
of Atlas Pressed Metals in
DuBois.
On Nov. 15, 1975 in
the Queen of the World
Church, he married his
high school sweetheart,
Kathryn A. Wolfe, who
survives.
Tom enjoyed gardening, woodworking, and
building things for his
children and grandchildren, who he adored. He
was a jack-of-all-trades
and never believed in the
word “can’t.”
In addition to his
mother and wife, he is
also survived by a daughter, Angela Breitkreutz
and her husband Daniel
of Murrysville; two sons,
Nicholas C. Krug and his
partner Michael Cutts of

Ed of Johnsonburg; two
brothers, Kenneth Krug
and Mark Krug, both of
St. Marys; and by his
mother-in-law, Sara Wolfe
Facchine of St. Marys.
Perhaps what summarizes this man's life
best can be found in a
note written by his granddaughter:
Dear Pop, I know you
couldn't help leaving us
but I just want you to
know that I miss you.
Margaret C. Occhiuto
I was your Peanut. You
taught me how to play
softball and improve on
basketball, you taught
me how to fix things like
the garage GG broke, I
helped you fix the brakes
on your car, and to do so
many other little things.
From now on I will play
basketball and volleyball
in memory of you. I will
play to make you proud
every time I step on the
court. I will remember
you in every history class
I take and all the history
you told me. It will be
hard, but I'll get through
this, but I will never forget you. I love you Pop.
Please give me a sign that
you are here.
His signs will be all
around us in the lives that
live on in his wife of 40
years, his three beautiful
children and six adoring
grandchildren. Whether
it is on a field, court, outdoors, classroom, or in
the everyday matters, his

Stilt grass invasive
work begins
The Bureau of Forestry has partnered with
the Bucktail Watershed
to control the leading edge
of the Japanese stilt grass
infestation on the Elk
State Forest.
The bureau is committing their staff time
and equipment, and the
watershed is contributing
the herbicide and private
lands work. They work
well together and will continue their relationship to
manage this and other invasive projects to protect
Wild Places.
The treatment has
begun on the Ridge Road
where the leading edge of
the stilt grass has been
identified.
Treatments
will occur heading south.
Their hope is to stop the
spread of this aggressive
plant. This grass spreads
easily through mowing
and grading which are activities we perform regularly on and along the
roadways. It is evident
this grass is being spread
by recreation too, as it
can be found along the
entrances to trails and on
Margaret C. Occhiuto,
95, of 628 First Ave., Johnsonburg, formerly of New
York, died Sunday morning, July 31, 2016 at Penn
Highlands Elk, St. Marys,
following a brief illness.
She was born June
10, 1921 in Johnsonburg,
daughter of the late Stephen and Mary Grace Scrivo Vavala. She married
Saverio Occhiuto on July
22, 1942 in Holy Rosary
Church, Johnsonburg. He
died July 19, 1982.
Margaret resided in
Johnsonburg since 1983.
She was a 1939 graduate of
Johnsonburg High School
and was a member of Holy
Rosary Church. She was
very active and held multiple offices within the
Rosary Altar Society. She
took up painting later in
life and she became a local
award-winning artist and
she enjoyed seeing her artwork hanging in all of her
families’ homes.
Margaret was predominantly a homemaker, but
led an exciting life where
she worked for the War
Department during WWII,
and followed her husband
from New York to the Virgin Islands working alongside him as he worked as a
world-class meat handler
and butcher. She had also
animals trails.
This grass can be
identified by a distinctive silvery stripe down
the center of the upper
leaf surface. Leaves are
around 3 inches long and
lance-shaped. Tiny flowers appear in late summer
from August to September
with fruits maturing soon
after. By late fall the grass
will die back, leaving dead
orange-tinged plants.

THESSALONIKI,
Greece (AP) — Greek police arrested 26 anarchists
who burst into the Greek
Orthodox cathedral in the
northern city of Thessaloniki on Sunday and interrupted a Mass, chanting slogans and dropping
flyers.
Metropolitan Anthimos of Thessaloniki, the
city's archbishop who
was officiating at another church, said about
30 people burst into the
cathedral of St. Gregory
Palamas and, aside from
interrupting the Mass,
"destroyed what they
could." He did not elaborate.
The
cathedral
is
named after a 14th-century archbishop of Thessaloniki who is revered
in the Eastern Orthodox
Church.
Police say those arrested included 19 women
and seven men. Seventeen
are Greek.

Anthimos said.
Police arrested 74 anarchists in that operation,

Debate commission:
Democrats didn't rig
debate schedule
ASHLAND, Ohio (AP)
— The Commission on
Presidential Debates rejected Republican Donald
Trump's claim that Democrats rigged the debate
schedule so that two of the
three debates would occur
during football games.
In a statement released Sunday, the commission said it started
working more than 18
months ago to identify all
religious and federal holidays as well as baseball
and football games and
other major events. The
commission said it was
"impossible" to avoid all
sporting events.
"As a point of reference, in a four-year period, there are four general
election debates (three
presidential and one vice
presidential), and approximately 1,000 NFL
games," the commission
wrote.
On Sept. 26, the night
of the first debate, ESPN
will carry the Monday
night game featuring the
Falcons vs. the Saints. On
Oct. 9, the second debate
will air opposite the Sunday night game featuring
the Giants vs. the Packers
on NBC.
Hillary Clinton vowed
to attend all the matchups, telling reporters in
Ohio on Sunday: "I'm going to be there, that's all I
have to say."
Her campaign, meanwhile, dismissed Trump's
claims, with vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine
saying he's "mystified" by
what he calls Trump's "bizarre" allegations.
"Is Donald Trump
complaining that the
framers of the constitution put the election in the
NFL season?" he asked
during a campaign stop at
a dairy barn in Ohio.
The Democratic ticket
is in the midst of a postconvention swing through
the battleground states of
Ohio and Pennsylvania.
On Friday, Trump
accused Clinton of "trying to rig" the schedule.
"Unacceptable!" he wrote.
In an interview Sunday
on ABC's "This Week,"
Trump said he got a letter
from the NFL calling the
conflict "ridiculous."
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy tweeted on
Saturday: "While we'd
obviously wish the Debate Commission could
find another night, we did
not send a letter to Mr
Trump."
A Trump aide said
Saturday that the Republican candidate "was made
aware of the conflicting
dates by a source close to
the league." The aide was
not authorized to speak by
name and requested anonymity.
The nonpartisan, independent
presidential
debate commission said it
never consulted with either political party in setting the dates, announced
last September. The group
serves as event sponsor
and sets the participation
criteria, dates, sites and
formats.
The Democratic Party
was criticized during the
primary race for scheduling debates between Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders on Saturday nights
and holiday weekends,
times when viewership
is low. The Sanders campaign suggested that was
an effort to limit the size
of the audience.
Trump told ABC that
Clinton wants to debate
"like she did with Bernie
Sanders, where they were
on Saturday nights when
nobody's home."

The Daily Press
Dickinson Board of Governors appoints CEO
RIDGWAY – Fran
Roebuck Kuhns, Dickinson Center, Inc. (DCI)
Board Chair is pleased
to announce the appointment of Heidi Thomas as
Dickinson Center’s Chief
Executive Officer.
The DCI Board met
July 21 and unanimously
approved this appointment. Thomas has been
leading Dickinson as interim CEO since August
2015. The board and DCI
administration agree that
Thomas is an excellent
fit for this role, and one
who will successfully lead
the organization through
their pending
affiliation with
Journey
Health System
and
future endeavors.
Heidi
Heidi
has
been
Thomas
with Dickinson Center since June 2004, her
education includes a bachelor’s degree in accounting
from Penn State University, a master’s degree in
business administration
from Clarion University,
and she is a certified pub-
lic accountant.
Thomas is a lifelong
resident of Ridgway and
is married to Andy Thomas with two children,
Carli and Drew. She has
served or currently serves
on various boards including CAPSEA, Community
Education Center, YMCA,
Penn Highlands Elk, and
WRC Senior Services. She
is a graduate of Leadership Elk County, and over
the years has volunteered
as a coach for local youth
sports.
"It is with overwhelming support and great
pride that the board of
directors appoints Heidi
Thomas as the CEO of
Dickinson Center, Inc.,"
Kuhns said. "Heidi has
done an outstanding job
during this year of transition as interim CEO; leading us through a strategic
partnership, expanding
our service lines, enhancing customer service to
new heights, engaging our
skilled and caring staff,
and bringing our mission
and vision to life. She
is dedicated to DCI and
will lead us forward into
the future of behavioral
health, intellectual disabilities, and prevention
services for our consumers
of today and tomorrow."
Since 1958, Dickinson Center, Inc. has been
committed to helping individuals reach their full
potential by providing a
comprehensive spectrum
of behavioral health, intellectual disability, and prevention services. Initially,
DCI opened to provide
outpatient
psychiatric
care to rural northwestern
Pennsylvania, and is now
recognized as a leading
rural behavioral health
provider in Northwestern Pennsylvania, serving Elk, Cameron, Potter,
McKean, Forest, Warren,
Jefferson, and Clearfield
counties.
DCI has been accredited under the Pennsylvania Association of
Nonprofit Organizations’
Standards for Excellence
since 2010. This accreditation is attained by the
most well managed and
responsibly governed nonprofit organizations that
have demonstrated compliance with 55 specific
Standards for Excellence
based on honesty, integrity, fairness, respect,
trust, responsibility, and
accountability.
of Mercersburg drafted
the "community bill of
rights" adopted by Highland and Grant townships.
CELDF also is advising the Highland Government Study Commission on its work toward
a "Home Rule" charter
that includes language
banning injection wells.
Chad Nicholson and
attorney Natalie Long of
CELDF were among 25
at the hearing Sunday.
The commission will
be holding three public
meetings this month to
discuss the "Home Rule"
charter and to seek input
from residents on its content.
Meetings will be held
Thursday at the Snowseekers
Snowmobile
Club in Highland, Aug.
18 at the Hi-La Sportsmen's Club in Russell
City and Aug. 30 at the
township building. All
meetings are at 7 p.m.
"We want to hear
from you," Misty Edinger said in encouraging
township residents to attend the upcoming commission meetings.
The commission reportedly must complete
work on a proposed
"Home Rule" charter by
September to give the
Elk County Board of
Elections sufficient time
to place the referendum
on the ballot Nov. 8.
If the commission
can't meet the deadline
in September, it could
continue to work on the
"Home Rule" charter and
place the proposal before
township voters in the
2017 primary election.
Township voters in
April approved a Government Study Commission
for 'Home Rule." Once a
vote is held on the "Home
Rule" proposal, the commission will be abolished.
The commission thus
far has not used any
township funds for its
meetings, flyers and ads.
Private donations and
fundraisers have covered
operating expenses for
the commission, it has
been noted.
Under a "Home Rule"
charter, township residents could circulate
petitions for a voter referendum on certain nonroutine actions taken by
the elected three-member Board of Supervisors.
The
referendums
mostly likely would be
held in conjunction with
the primary election in
the spring or the general
election in November.
Voter approval of a
resident-inspired referendum would "trump the
supervisors," Guras said.
In addition to a
clause against injection wells, the proposed
"Home Rule" charter for
Highland could call for a
public vote on the filling
of vacancies on the Board
of Supervisors.
The state code includes the annual appointment of a "Vacancy
Board" chairman whose
sole function is to break
a tie between the two remaining supervisors in
filling a vacant seat on
the three-member board.
Twice in the past
four years, a Vacancy
Board chairman was not
in place when a vacancy
occurred on the Board of
Supervisors.
Because the two remaining
supervisors
could not agreed on a replacement, the township
in 2013 and again this
year asked Elk County
President Judge Richard
Masson to appoint a new
board member.
In 2013, Masson appointed Jim Wolfe of
Russell City. Earlier this
year, he appointed Glen
Hulings of James City.
Wolfe and Hulings
currently serve on the
Board of Supervisors
along with Mike Detsch
of James City. Detsch is
the board chairman.
Prior to a PowerPoint
presentation
Sunday,
commission
members
outlined their reasons
for wishing to serve on
the government study
panel.
Lloyd Hulings said
a "Home Rule" charter
would "give a voice back
to the people."
"People should take
more concern in local
government,"
Vaughn
said.
Guras
believes
"Home
Rule"
would
"provide protection" for
township residents. He
said the Second Class
Township Code, adopted
by the state in 1933, is
a "one size fits all" set of
rules.
Vaughn
said
the
commission would "tailor" the proposed "Home
Rule" charter to "help
Highland Township" by
giving residents "more of
a voice." He said township residents, by speaking up at the August
meetings, would "have
a say" in the wording in
the proposed charter.
Ridgway
Township
voters in 2013 turned
down the formation of
a "government study
commission" to draft a
"Home Rule" charter.
Rule
"Home Rule" charter.
Commission
members
Matt Vaughn, Misty Edinger, Bill Edinger, Amy
Beers and Lloyd Hulings
agreed with the motion.
Judy Orzetti has
been named to replace
Erin Vassallo as the seventh member of the commission. Orzetti, however, cannot take part
in commission business
until she takes the oath
of office. Vassallo reportedly resigned due to an
employment issue.
Beers, who resides in
Russell City, is the only
commission member who
does not live in James
City.
Several communities
in the state-- including
St. Marys and Warren-are governed by "Home
Rule" charters. "Home
Rule" transfers authority over municipal matters from the state to the
township, which now is
guided by the state 100page Second Class Township Code.
It appears that most
of the code will continue to be followed in the
"Home Rule" charter for
Highland.
However, the proposed new governing tool
is expected to include a
specific clause that bans
injection wells for the
underground
disposal
of waste fluids from gas
well drilling operations.
The township supervisors in 2013 adopted
a "community bill of
rights" that bans injection wells. Seneca Resources is challenging
the validity of this ordinance in federal court in
Erie.
The current Board
of Supervisors has announced that it would
consider repealing the
"community
bills
of
rights" ordinance at its
regular monthly meeting Aug. 10. Such action
could end the basis for
the Seneca lawsuit.
However,
voter-approval of a "Home Rule"
charter with an anti-injection well clause could
precipitate another legal
battle with Seneca.
Grant Township in
Indiana County last year
lost a similar federal
lawsuit filed by Pennsylvania General Energy
(PGE) of Warren. PGE
successfully challenged
Grant's "community bill
of rights" that bans injection wells. Grant has
appealed this court decision to the Third District
Court of Appeals in Philadelphia.
Grant voters last
year also approved a
"Home Rule" charter
that includes a ban on
injection wells.

Minor softball finishes second in the state
The St. Marys Minor
League all-star softball
team finished as the runner-up in the state after an
8-3 loss to Tunkhannock
on Sunday afternoon in
the championship game of
the 8-10 Year Old Softball
Pa. State Tournament in
Wellsboro.
St. Marys had entered
the game needing a win to
force a deciding game for
the title. That game would
have been played on Monday.
Tunkhannock
dealt
the St. Marys squad their
only losses of the tournament. The two teams first
met in the final of the winners bracket on Friday,
with Tunkhannock winning that game 5-3.
Dropping into the con-
solation bracket, St. Marys
took on Morrisville on Saturday. That game was the
final of the consolation
bracket, and St. Marys’
2-1 victory gave the team
another shot at Tunkhannock.
The
Tunkhannock
team will advance to the
East Region Little League
8-10 Year Old Softball Invitational
Tournament,
which is being hosted by
Back Mountain Little
League in Dallas, Pa. from
Aug. 7-15.
St. Marys ends their
season having claimed
both the District 10 and
Section 1 titles. Aside from
their losses to Tunkhannock, the team’s only other
defeat this season came at
the hands of Punxsutaw-
ney in the District 10 Tournament.
The team opened play
in the state tournament
on Tuesday with an 11-2
victory over Indiana and
then followed that up with
a 10-0 four-inning victory over Avon Grove on
Wednesday to set up Friday’s first meeting with
Tunkhannock. St. Marys
ended play in the state
tournament with a record
of 3-2.

The New York Collegiate Baseball League
(NYCBL) Western Division champion Olean Oilers moved a step closer
to defending their league
title with an 8-6 victory
over the Eastern Division
champion Syracuse Jr.

in Syracuse, and St. Bonaventure shortstop Cole
Peterson paced the Oilers’
offense with a 4-for-5 effort at the plate en route
to being named Player of

Peterson
knotted
things up in the top of the
third with an RBI double
after the Jr. Chiefs took a
1-0 lead an inning earlier.
The Johnsonburg native
later contributed to a sixrun top of the sixth with
an
RBI single. Peterson
accounted for four of Olean’s 11 hits. The Oilers’

closed out the win retiring
all four batters he faced.
The righty struck out
the side in the ninth. He
threw 16 pitches – 12 for
strikes.
Newly acquired Melancon settles
in with NL East-leading Nats
SAN
FRANCISCO
(AP) — Mark Melancon
sat patiently as his name
circulated in rumors
leading up to the trade
deadline.
“I’ve been through it
before, so I realize that
until it happens it’s not a
big deal,” Melancon said.
“I just waited until I got
the phone call.”
The call finally came
on Saturday, and he was
no longer the closer for
the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Instead, the All-Star was
joining the NL East-leading Washington Nationals.
By Sunday, Melancon
had joined his new team
for a game in San Francisco.
“A lot of different
emotions going on just
because I’ve been with
the Pirates for a while,”
said Melancon, who was
in his fourth year with
Pittsburgh. “It’s a little
sad to leave those guys,
but at the same time I’m
really excited to be here
on a first-place club.”
Washington sent reliever Felipe Rivero and
pitching prospect Taylor
Hearn to the Pittsburgh
Pirates to acquire Mel-
ancon, who supplants
the struggling Jonathan
Papelbon as Washington’s closer.
Melancon exchanged
text messages with Papelbon on Saturday while
he was between flights.
Papelbon is 2-4 with
a 4.41 ERA and has allowed eight runs and
seven hits in his past
three outings.
“He’s been awesome
about it,” Melancon said.
“It’s a tough situation, so
I understand . Like he
said, ‘we’re here to win a
championship, whatever
it takes.’”
The deal reunites
Melancon with his Team
USA teammate
Max
Scherzer. He also works
out with Anthony Rendon in the offseason.
The
31-year-old
right-hander goes from
the fringe of the wildcard race to a team that’s
building a nice lead in its
division.
“It gives you a nice
little boost, I know that,”
Melancon said. “For me
it was really exciting.
Whirlwind of a day yesterday, but I’m here and
everything’s great.”
Melancon has con-
verted 30 of 33 saves with
a 1.51 ERA this season.
He joins his fifth organization in eight years.
He is making $9.65
million and is eligible
for free agency after the
World Series; as part of
the swap, the Pirates
will pay Washington
$500,000 on Sept. 1.
Melancon broke into
the majors in 2009 with
the Yankees, where he
was considered a possible successor to Mariano
Rivera. He also pitched
for Houston, Boston and
the Yankees.
He credits the famed
Yankees closer with helping him develop the cut
fastball that he considers
his best pitch.
“I got to watch that a
lot from (Rivera),” Melancon said. “Just sit behind
the plate, sit behind him
pitching. Not only did
I notice how important
the cutter and the movement, when to throw it
in and back door and all
that stuff but just his
location and how important that was. With him
only having one pitch it
meant a lot that he hit
his spots, so I picked up
a lot on those subtleties.”
Francouer’s 2-run homer lifts Braves over Phillies
ATLANTA (AP) — Jeff
Francoeur has enjoyed
his second stint with the
Braves, even though they
have the major leagues’
worst record.
The Atlanta native
doesn’t know if he will be
with Atlanta after Monday’s trade deadline, so he’s
savoring every moment
with his hometown team.
“I think that’s what
they signed me to do, and
when you get a spot start
like today, provide a big hit
or some pop,” he said. “It
was nice to be able to do
that today.”
Francoeur hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in
the seventh inning Sunday,
and the Braves beat the
Philadelphia Phillies 2-1.
Francoeur’s
seventh
home run this season came
off Andrew Bailey (3-1),
who has allowed 19 earned
runs in his last 16 2/3 innings.
Mauricio Cabrera (20), the fourth of six Atlanta
pitchers, pitched a one-hit
seventh.
Jimmy Paredes entered as a defensive replacement in the seventh
and homered against Chris
Withrow in the eighth.
Steelers’ tight ends look
to fill in for retired Miller
LATROBE (AP) —
Pittsburgh quarterback
Ben Roethlisberger called
retired tight end Heath
Miller the best teammate
he ever had.
Roethlisberger doesn’t
expect anyone in the current group to imitate the
most-decorated tight end
in franchise history.
“I think the key is
that they don’t need to
try and be Heath Miller,”
said Roethlisberger, who
wore Miller’s No. 83 jersey as a tribute on the
first day of training camp.
“They have to make sure
they don’t get too anxious.
They’re out there trying
to be the best on every
play. Right now, they’re
doing some really good
things. I’m excited to see
what they can do moving
forward.”
Miller retired shortly
after the Steelers’ January playoff loss against
Denver. The team signed
6-foot-6 tight end Ladarius Green, who spent four
seasons in San Diego and
set single-season career
highs in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns in 2015 behind
All-Pro Antonio Gates.
Green started training
camp with the Steelers
on the physically unable
to perform list, still recovering from surgery on an
injured ankle that ended
his 2015 season.
“With surgery, you
never know what to expect,” said Green, who
added that doctors repaired a tendon and inserted plates into his
ankle. “I’m just trying to
take it day-by-day and get
back as quick as I can.”
Jesse James, the
Steelers’ 2015 fifth-round
pick, is in his second season, but he’s the only tight
end who spent time with
the team in training camp
last year. David Johnson
played the previous two
seasons in San Diego, but
now he’s back with the
Steelers, where he spent
the first four years of his
career. Xavier Grimble
was on the team’s practice
squad in 2015.
James sees Miller’s
retirement as an opportunity for an expanded role.
“It’s huge for me,”
James said. “Last year,
I played in place of him
once or twice. There’s a
lot of snaps open and my
goal is to take up as many
as I can.”
A
slimmed-down
James lost weight during
the offseason. He’s taking
snaps with the first-team
offense early in training
camp and playing with
confidence.
“Last year at this time
I wasn’t stepping into the
huddle with (Roethlisberger) until we got into
the season,” James said.
“From that standpoint it’s huge. The team
knows what they can expect from me and that’s
my goal going through
camp, to make sure I’m on
the same page with Ben
and the offense.”
James appeared in
eight games last season,
making two starts. He
caught eight passes for
56 yards and a touchdown
in his first career game.
That’s when James realized he could make an impact as a tight end in the
NFL.
“I didn’t prove much
going into that game,”
James said. “But I was
able to have a good game
blocking and catching and
score that touchdown. I
feel good about where I’m
at and what I need to do
to prepare for the season.”
Green already has experience playing behind
a franchise tight end in
Gates.
“You can’t replace
those types of guys,”
Green said. “I learned
that lesson awhile ago.
They’re too special. You
just try to do your best.”
Green’s unique combination of size and speed
gives the Steelers a downfield weapon that can create matchup problems for
opposing defenses, which
excites Roethlisberger.
Green can’t wait to
work with the Steelers’
franchise
quarterback,
too. And he knows he
doesn’t have to step in
and imitate Miller.
“(Gates) and Heath
are the same,” Green said.
“They’re two special guys
at this position. I couldn’t
try to be like (Gates) and I
can’t try to be like Heath.”
NOTES: The Steelers
will practice in pads for
the first time at training
camp on Sunday. ... The
team delayed the start
of Saturday’s practice by
an hour because of heavy
rains that passed through
the area. S Shamarko
Thomas missed practice
with an illness.
Lucroy draws ovation as
pinch-hitter, Brewers sweep Pirates
MILWAUKEE (AP) —
From winning a division
title and a playoff series
to making two All-Star
teams, Jonathan Lucroy
has enjoyed plenty of positive moments since debuting with the Milwaukee
Brewers in 2010.
With Lucroy prominently mentioned in trade
speculation, the 32,405
fans at Miller Park potentially provided one last
memory when they gave
him standing ovations before and after he flied out
as a pinch hitter Sunday
in a 4-2 win over Pittsburgh.
“It was pretty cool, a
lot of fun,” said Lucroy,
who turned down a trade
to Cleveland over the
weekend. “I wish I would
have gotten a knock there,
but we won the game, so
that’s all that matters.”
“The
fans
have
been great to me here. I
couldn’t ask for a better
environment to grow up
in if something does happen. If nothing does happen, it’s going to be awkward the rest of the year.
We’ll see what happens.
It’s out of your control at
this point,” he said.
Lucroy nixed that
swap to the AL Centralleading Indians. But
other teams want the
30-year-old catcher before Monday’s deal dead-
line and he has a limited
no-trade clause.
Pirates pitching coach
Ray Searage visited the
mound as Lucroy walked
to the plate in the eighth
inning. With the crowd
chanting his name, Lucroy tipped his helmet to
acknowledge the cheers.
With two on and two
outs, Lucroy flied out. He
left the field to another
standing ovation.

Brewers catcher Lucroy
blocks trade to Indians
MILWAUKEE
(AP)
— Milwaukee Brewers
catcher Jonathan Lucroy
has blocked his proposed
trade to the Cleveland Indians.
Lucroy said Sunday
he wasn’t going to go into
the details behind his decision, but the long term is
more important than the
short term for him and his
family.
The teams had reached
a preliminary agreement
on a deal to send Lucroy,
a two-time All-Star, to
the Indians. Milwaukee
general manager David
Stearns says the Brewers will move on after Lucroy refused to waive the
no-trade provision in his
contract. He says there’s
no chance of re-working a
deal with Cleveland.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel first reported
Lucroy’s decision. Indians
president Chris Antonetti
did not comment on Lucroy’s veto.
Cleveland,
which
leads the AL Central, has
been looking for a catcher
since Yan Gomes separated his shoulder earlier in
July.
MILTON KEYNES,
England (AP) — Ariya
Jutanugarn
won
the
Women’s British Open
on Sunday at Woburn for
her first major championship and fourth LPGA
Tour victory of the year.
The 20-year-old Jutanugarn closed with
an even-par 72 for a
three-stroke victory over
American Mo Martin and
South Korea’s Mirim Lee.
Jutanugarn became the
first major winner from
Thailand.
“I think it’s really
important for me and
for Thai golf, also,” Jutanugarn said. “After my
first tournament on tour,
my goal is I really want
to win a major. I did, so
I’m very proud of myself.”
She finished at 16-under 272 on the Marquess
Course, the hilly, forest layout that is a big
change from the usual
seaside layouts in the
tournament rotation.
The long-hitting Jutanugarn had a six-stroke
lead over Lee at the turn,
but Lee picked up five
strokes on the next four
holes with three birdies
and Jutanugarn’s double
bogey on the par-4 13th.
“I think I got mad
after that hole,” Jutanugarn said. “I’m like,
‘Oh, what’s wrong with
me.’ But after that, I’m

Peyton Manning appears on
Saints practice field – in a tie
WHITE SULPHUR
SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) —
A lanky 6-foot-5 man in a
button-down, long-sleeve
shirt and tie walked onto
the field during Saints
training camp on Sunday, bringing a mixture
of good and painful memories to veteran safety
Roman Harper.
After a brief and
friendly chat, Harper
gave recently retired
NFL quarterback Peyton
Manning a hug.
“I was still angry,
because last time I saw
him, confetti was going all his way,” Harper,
who spent the past two
seasons with Carolina,
said in reference to last
season’s Super Bowl that
was won by Manning’s
Denver Broncos.
“He said we were

even and we laughed
about it,” Harper added,
alluding to the Saints’
Super Bowl triumph
over Manning’s Indianapolis Colts to cap the
2009 season. “At the end
of the day you just tip
your hat off to him and
understand that we’re
all competitors. He was
able to do it for 18 years
in this league and be able
to be so great for so long.
It’s just amazing that he

Rain postpones NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Pocono
LONG POND (AP)
— Pocono CEO Brandon Igdalsky took refuge from the rain inside
a garage stall that was
being used as the site of
the drivers meeting.
His message Sunday morning to Jimmie
Johnson, Jeff Gordon,
Tony Stewart and the
rest of the field: “I love
you guys. But I don’t
want to see you tomorrow.”
Well, tough luck.
Call it, Pocono Rainway.
Rain washed out the
NASCAR Sprint Cup
race at Pocono Raceway and the 400-mile
race will now run at 11
a.m. Monday. Martin
Truex Jr. is on the pole
and Kurt Busch tries
to sweep Pocono in the
track’s second Monday
race of the season.
The June Pocono
race also was delayed
a day. NASCAR said
this was the first time a
track had two rain-postponed races in the same
season.
This was NASCAR’s
10th postponed race
since 2011. The 2012
rain-shortened race at
Pocono was marred by
lightning strikes that
killed one fan and injured nine others.
Drugs & Alcohol
LISTEN TO THEM • TALK TO THEM
A community outlook on the
Prevention of Drug & Alcohol abuse
TALKING TO YOUR TEEN ABOUT DRUG ABUSE
It can be difficult to talk to your
teen about drug abuse. Start by
choosing a comfortable time and
setting. If you’re anxious, share
your feelings with your teen. You
might also consider sharing the responsibility with another nurturing
adult in your teen’s life.
When you discuss teen drug
abuse, you might:
Ask your teen’s views. Listen to
your teen’s opinions — which may
differ from your own — and questions about drug use. Encourage
your teen to talk by asking openended questions, such as “Tell me
what you think about ... .”
Discuss reasons not to abuse
drugs. Avoid scare tactics. Em-
phasize how drug use can affect
things important to your teen —
such as sports, driving, health and
appearance. Explain that even a
teen can develop a drug problem.
Consider media messages. Some
television programs, movies, Web
sites or songs glamorize or trivialize drug use. Talk about what your
teen has seen or heard.
Plan specific ways to resist peer
pressure. Brainstorm with your
teen about how to respond to offers of drugs. Suggest that your
teen try saying, “No thanks,” or “I
don’t do drugs because it could get
me kicked off the team.” Your teen
also might offer friends a socially
acceptable alternative activity,
such as watching a movie.
Be ready to discuss your own
drug use. Think ahead about how
you’ll respond if your teen asks
about your own drug use. If you
chose not to use drugs, explain
why. If you did use drugs, share
what the experience taught you.
Don’t be afraid that talking about
teen drug abuse will plant ideas in
your teen’s head. Conversations
about drug abuse won’t tempt your
teen to try drugs. Instead, talking
about drug abuse lets your teen
know your views and understand
what you expect of him or her.
Why teens abuse drugs
Various factors may contribute to
teen drug abuse, from insecurity
and self-doubt to a desire for social
acceptance. Teens often feel indestructible and may not consider
the consequences of their actions,
leading them to take potentially
dangerous risks — such as abusing legal or illegal drugs

DEAR ANNIE®
COPYRIGHT 2016 CREATORS SYNDICATE, INC.
Dear Annie: My 10-year-old’s
school administrators are over-the-top
nosey and won’t stay out of our business.
I think they mean well, but at times, they
try to micromanage the care of our child.
For example, his favorite pair of shoes
are falling apart, and although he has
new shoes, he prefers the old ones. The
school sent home a pair of shoes, as if
we couldn’t afford to buy any. It seemed
insulting and passive-aggressive, and my
son liked those shoes even less than the
new ones we’d bought him. So that was a
waste.
Also, our son recently had a cut
that became infected. The school nurse
spotted the beginning of the infection, so
we are grateful for that, though we were
watching it closely, too. We took him in
immediately and began treatment. The
school sent home notes about where we
could take him in case we could not afford a doctor. (We can and have never
implied that we don’t have the means or
insurance.) The administrators even sent
instructions on how to give him a bath
using Epsom salt for the wound. They
know that we are both professionals with
advanced degrees, yet they treat us like
nimrods. -- Capable With a Cub
Dear Capable: Unless the school
addressed the note home to “Mr. and
Mrs. Nimrod,” you’re jumping to conclusions. I guarantee that the administrators
were just trying to help.
Your son really shouldn’t wear
shoes that are disintegrating -- no matter what he “prefers.” A 10-year-old might
prefer to eat pizza rolls three meals a
day and play Xbox all night; that doesn’t
mean you let him.
We make concessions where we
can as parents, but some matters aren’t
up for debate. Make your son wear the
new shoes, no matter how much whining
follows. (I know, I know. Easier said than
done.) Sometimes cubs need tough love.
Dear Annie: My brother-in-law
keeps borrowing money, and my husband just can’t say no to his big brother.
This wouldn’t be a problem if we were
Rockefellers. We’re not. We both work
full time. We have kids of our own to put
through school. We are barely scraping
by and even have debt. We’re just not in
a position to lend money.
Larry, my brother-in-law, seems to
have a new career every year. This year,
he’s trying to get his real estate license.
Last year, he started an online store,
which never took off. In the past, he’s
tried photography and painting.
It’s hard to watch him fail, and I
would feel sorry for him if I weren’t so
ticked off that he’s flushed thousands
of our dollars down the drain along with
each of these new enterprises.
And now I find out that behind my
back, my husband co-signed a loan,
which his brother defaulted on, and we
had to take out a second mortgage on the
house to pay it. How can I get my husband to stop giving him money? How can
I stop resenting both my brother-in-law
and his wife for this? -- Broke and Bitter
Dear Broke: You’re right. He’s
wrong. But you probably married him
because you fell in love with his generous disposition and his desire and willingness to help others in need -- qualities at
play here. Recognize that big heart of his
while also telling him it’s unacceptable to
make such decisions behind your back.
Tell him that his continuing to do so would
be a betrayal of your trust.
Encourage him to support his
brother in ways that have no bearing on
your finances. He could help Larry work
out a budget or set realistic career goals.
In the long run, that kind of aid is better
than simply handing him a check whenever he’s in a pinch. Teach a man to fish.

Co-workers remember Armstrong
with bench, tree and scholarship
BRADFORD – Coworkers and friends are
remembering Jeff Armstrong, a member of the
facilities staff at the University of Pittsburgh at
Bradford, with a memorial
bench by the Tunungwant
Creek, a tree, and a scholarship.
Armstrong,
who
worked at Pitt-Bradford for
40 years, died unexpectedly
in October at the age of 60.
Heartbroken
colleagues began discussions
about finding a way to
remember Armstrong on
campus.
Led by the Pitt-Bradford Staff Association, employees chose to place a
bench along the creek in
his memory, and an anonymous donor offered to purchase a tree. Armstrong
was an avid outdoorsman,
and both memorials were
appealing because of his
love for and pride in the
campus’s grounds.
“It did not take long
to raise the money needed
for the bench,” said Jessica
Kramer, president of the
Staff Association. “So many
staff members wanted to
do something to remember
Jeff. The hardest part was
asking people to be patient
while Staff Association
Council worked out the
details for the bench and
scholarship.”
With the $1,000 raised
in excess of the cost of the
Jeff
Armstrong
bench, the
Staff Association chose
to
make
an annual
scholarship
to an environmental
studies student during
the 2016-17
academic
year.
The association would
like to make the gift annually or even endow a
scholarship in Armstrong’s
honor, but continuing donations would be needed.
“We’re grateful for all
the donations we’ve received but would certainly
welcome more to keep the
scholarship funded in future years,” Kramer said.
Armstrong
began
working for Pitt-Bradford’s first president, Dr.
Donald Swarts, before he
even graduated from high
school, mowing Swarts’s
lawn, and sometimes stay-
ing for a bit to chat with
him on the patio.
At the time of Armstrong’s death, he was still
taking care of the PittBradford president’s home
at 120 School St., where he
built the garden walls himself with bricks from the
old Bradford Hospital.
Student workers always took a shine to Armstrong, and he to them.
He took students hunting
and fishing. He knew their
names for all the secret
places on campus. They
trusted him, and he taught
them by modeling a work
ethic that required always
doing things the right way
the first time and contributing the most possible to
the orientation.

Jeffrey P. Armstrong Scholarship may made by contacting the Pitt-Bradford
