Matt Gabler and (R-Clearfield/Elk) Tommy Sankey (R-Clearfield/Cambria) on Wednesday joined a bipartisan majority of their House colleagues in defeating Gov. Tom Wolf ’s proposal to raise taxes on Pennsylvanians. The governor’s plan, filed as an amendment to House Bill 283, proposed increasing the Personal Income Tax (PIT) from 3.07 percent to 3.57 percent and imposing severance tax on natural gas drillers while using a small portion of the taxes to finance an expansion of the state’s existing Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program. Gabler and Sankey issued the following statement after the 127-73 vote: “On the eve of the 100th day of the budget impasse, our governor must face the reality that the tax increases necessary to feed his insatiable appetite for unsustainable government spending does not have enough See Gabler, Page 2 An airman who thwarted a French train attack was stabbed in brawl.

I still want to be their caregiver and their provider,” Jill said. “I don’t want them to feel like they have to take care of me.” Jill is a registered technician radiology and mammography (R.T.R.M) lead stereotactic technologist at Penn Highlands Elk working in the hospital’s Women’s Imaging Center where she works with fellow breast cancer patients on a daily basis. The bond between Jill and her patients has grown stronger as a result of her diagnosis. “There’s a few I’ve opened up to. Most of the time I keep it to myself, but I feel I can relate much better to my patients,” she described. Jill’s positive attitude has no doubt helped with her recovery. She also emphasized the importance of having a sense of humor. See Holtzhauser, Page 9 Photo submitted Jill Holtzhauser is shown with her family a day before her breast cancer diagnosis in late 2014.

By Amy Cherry Staff Writer After losing her mother to breast cancer, Renee Price of Kane was seeking something to keep her happy. She chose to channel her love of photography into something positive and that would benefit other people. This labor of love turned into the Everyday We Wear PINK Project in which Renee conducts a complimentary photo shoot for breast cancer patients and survivors. “I am so excited to do this for these women. I can feel my mom guiding me every step of the way,” Price said. Survivors are also encour- aged to share their stories with Price who posts them on the project’s Facebook page. “I want people to know what these women go through. That it’s not just certain people,” Price said, referring to her youngest client who is 37 years old. See Photographer, Page 7 For Wanda Geitner of Ridgway, a breast cancer diagnosis was seemingly a sure thing. “I had been going faithfully since I was 30 years old because my whole family has breast cancer, every woman in my family,” Wanda said. “My mother is gone now, but she had been diagnosed many years ago, all of my first cousins, and I was diagnosed eight years ago. ‘The last first cousin was six years ago, and now it starts into the second generation now, and I have two daughters and thank God nothing yet.” Wanda had a lumpectomy and radiation in DuBois during her two years of treatment. She credits her family, friends and employer for their support during her battle. “I had so many friends that were there all the time, a lot of See Geitner, Page 3 Gorman winning unimaginable battle with breast cancer By Amy Cherry Staff Writer With an army of support behind her, Amy Gorman of St. Marys was determined to fight her battle with breast cancer with all she had. That decision paid off as she completed treatment in February. Amy’s battle began on July 11, 2014 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was 45. Having already lost her husband, Russ, to cancer in 1993, Amy said the diagnosis was shocking news. “I thought I already went through the cancer world, I didn’t think I’d have to face it again,” she said. A few months earlier on April Fools' Day, Amy discovered a lump in her breast. It was only at the end of June that she made an appointment with Paulette Schreiber, CRNP at Penn Highlands Elk, who ordered she have a mammogram. On July 8, a biopsy was performed on the lump followed by a lumpectomy done by the late Dr. Joseph at PHE on July 24. During the surgery, some of Amy’s lymph nodes were removed to determine if the cancer had spread, which it had as three of her lymph nodes were cancerous. Amy’s first chemotherapy ap- See Gorman, Page 11 Photo submitted In this 2014 photo, Amy Gorman is shown with her nieces Delana, Abby and Jaylin at the family’s annual pumpkin carving party.

A long, hard 18 years. “It’s hard to remember a lot of the details because it was so long ago but I’ll never get it out of my system, and it caused me to have a very bad nervous problem,” she said. “I’m afraid that it might come back and there’s nothing you can do to stop it, and it’s been 18 years but every single time I go for a mammogram, then I talked to my husband about doing this interview and thought that I hope I don’t jinx myself.” Ginny initially knew she had a troublesome lump, but she “ignored it,” and she says “I should never have done that.” “But 18 years ago, it wasn’t out in the open like it is nowadays, it just wasn’t talked about as much,” Ginny said. “You went to the doctor, he examined your breasts and you went from there. I went to the doctor and I told him that I had this lump, and he told me my breasts were smooth but to get a mammogram just in case.” Even before she had the mammogram, Ginny said she recalls having no question in her mind that “it was going to show that I had cancer because of the shape of my breast and the See Ginny, Page 7 Photo submitted Shown is 18-year breast cancer survivor Ginny Schneider, left, and her husband, Alan. 2 The Daily Press Friday, October 9, 2015 Pittsburgh City Council seeks to ban drones from city parks Photo submitted A group of St. Marys women are shown sporting their pink attire prior to a recent Penn State football game. The ladies have been showing their pink pride for breast cancer awareness at PSU games for the past six years. They began their pink crusade to show support after their friend Janine McCullough was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was the group’s goal to get McCullough out of the house and enjoy time with her girlfriends, which prompted their slogan “Girlfriends fighting Together!” Throughout the years the group realized their impact on the PSU community when women and men would approach them and share their stories with them, which they are always happy to hear. Gabler Continued from Page 1 support from Pennsylvanians to become law. The reasons for opposing it are obvious. “First, taxpayers have told us they cannot afford to pay 16 percent more in Personal Income Tax. We agree they should not be forced to accept this government-mandated cut to their salaries. Furthermore, we believe taxpayers should not be subjected to the bait-and-switch aspect of this plan’s Property Tax and Rent Rebate provision that calls on Pennsylvanians to pay $1,400 more in income taxes for every $84 that is given back. No attempt to disguise this tax increase will change the reality that it would hurt middleclass working families. “Second, this is a proposal that would kill jobs. The severance tax contained in this bill would create an effective tax rate on natural gas of more than over 14 percent - much higher than any other state. This would undoubtedly push the natural gas industry to accelerate its movement of rigs out of Pennsylvania. While we have no doubt that drilling companies would continue creating jobs and making money in other states like Ohio and West Virginia, what would that mean for our local familyowned businesses that simply can’t pick up and move? What about the people who work for local suppliers, trucking companies, hotels and restaurants who depend on the gas industry? Crossing the state line for greener pastures is not an option for them. “Despite the huge effective tax rate on this natural gas proposal, it still does not raise the sort of money necessary to fund the governor’s irre- sponsible spending levels. Economic reality makes it the worst of both worlds – a huge job-killing tax that still provides minimal revenue. 95 percent of the money in the Wolf tax package would come from hard-working people who pay Pennsylvania’s Personal Income Tax. “This proposal was PLUMBING HEATING & A IR C ONDITIONING SALES & SERVICE 1031 Trout Run Road St. Marys, PA 15857 Phone 814-781-7468 Fax: 814-834-5211 PA002288 POWDERED METAL BEARINGS BUSHINGS • STRUCTURALS BRONZE • IRON • BRASS 269 Fairview Rd., Kersey, PA 15846 885-8031 unreasonable and unrealistic. It is good that it has been put to rest. We now look forward to once again discussing workable solutions that Pennsylvanians can afford and that has the votes necessary to gain the support of a majority of the elected representatives of the citizens of Pennsylvania.” Griffin says the incidents are a public nuisance and create safety hazards. Mayor Bill Peduto says drones are dangerous because they could interfere with low-flying emergency medical helicopters. A preliminary vote on the legislation will be held next week. Pittsburgh Citiparks Director Jim Griffin says a ranger stopped someone from gliding with a parachute at Schenley Park several months back. Councilman Dan Gilman says he's received numerous complaints from residents about drones snapping photos of their homes. THINKING CARPET CLEANING? Think Super Shine Carpet & Tile Cleaners!

The Erie TimesNews reports that Lord Corp. isn't saying yet how many jobs will be cut or where. The North Carolina-headquartered conglomerate produces materials for industries including aerospace and oil and gas production. It employs about 3,000 worldwide. But it says it's facing difficult market conditions, including downturns in defense, agriculture, oil and gas and construction, as well as currency fluctuations. Lord recently un- veiled a new $100 million facility in suburban Erie and has received state tax breaks in exchange for retaining its existing employment in Erie and increasing the local workforce. The company was founded in Erie more than 90 years ago by Hugh Lord. Geitner Continued from Page 1 Photo submitted Shown is Wanda Geitner, right, along with her husband, J.R., and their dog, Nelson, who has since passed away. Wanda said "they were two of my strongest supporters through my journey" with breast cancer. neighbors, close friends and relatives bringing food and taking me for my treatments, and at the time I wasn’t married, J.R. [Geitner] and I were just dating but he was there for me constantly,” Wanda said. “When I was going to lose my hair, my girlfriend said,’ OK, let’s get to DuBois and get you a wig,’ We had moments that made this easier.” While many women experience difficulty adjusting to the fact that their hair will fall out during cancer treatments, Wanda said she probably wore the wig twice, but the feeling was just “too artificial.” “I wish I looked good in them now. Now I have this stupid hair,” she quipped with the wonderful survivor’s smile. “I finally just got a few beautiful scarves, and I wore them all the time, I loved them, and people would tell me that I looked so nice.” While many patients are in need of counseling after the harrowing experience of fighting breast cancer, Wanda said she bypassed it all as the breast cancer diagnosis was “expected.” “I felt I was destined for it,” she said. “My mother lived with it and died 25 years later from a heart attack, not breast cancer. I got it, dealt with it, and said ‘I’m not going to die from it,’ and neither did my mom, or my aunts, and I’d just do what I had to do.” The difficulty in undergoing constant treatment also wears down on the body. Wanda said she was extremely lucky to be able to miss an extensive period of time at work. "I can't stress how grateful I was to my employer for giving me all the time I needed," she said. "It was never a problem when I was going through my radiation to have to leave early every day for six weeks. I had all the time off I needed with my chemo. They worked entirely around my schedule. I work for a wonderful company, having been employed with them now for almost 22 years." While she recalls breast cancer being a "very scary thing," she says it "will not win." "Breast cancer is 95 percent curable if caught in the early stages, such as mine," Wanda said. "I do however live my life different than I did before the diagnosis. I never take a day for granted any longer. I make the best of every day. So being diagnosed is not the end, it is just the beginning of a whole new life." and Cafe START SAVING BEFORE IT STARTS SNOWING 14 Erie Ave., St. Marys 834-1095 JOIN US FOR CUPCAKE HAPPY HOUR Every Friday 3-5:30 Cupcakes and Coffee At A Special Price Starting Friday, October 16th.

I myself don’t know for sure…but listening to someone share their experiences battling breast cancer in itself is uncomfortable. I’m truly thankful, nonetheless, for the opportunity. As I wish to make journalism a lifelong career, I struggle to find the words to describe how I feel about the many breast cancer survivors I’ve been privileged to meet. They hope their cancer is “only a passing cloud” before the sun shines again. They are courageous. Scared. Uplifting. Depressing. Inspiring. I was blessed earlier this week to be able to conduct an interview session with several cancer survivors in the area; but unfortunately, I had one empty chair. It’s not that Karen MacAfee wasn’t courageous, enlightening or uplifting… she truly was. There was, however, a depressing fear in her as she told me that this “is going to kill me.” I met Karen in October of last year as fellow cancer survivor Patty Greene helped initiate a meeting between the three of us in an effort to create an extensive survivors story for the newspaper. It was my wish to sit down with Karen again this year as we began to make scheduling preparations for our “Pink Paper” that you’re now holding in your hands. Karen tragically didn’t make it back to my interview table; she died earlier this year, April 27, at just 43 years old. It’s a somber feeling reading the obituary of someone you knew, far worse at such a young age. At the time, Karen left behind her two daughters, Abigail, who was 11 years old when she lost her mom, and Madeline, who was just 8 at the time. Karen was a kind and gentle soul, big heart, and a great love for animals. She had spent an innumerable number of hours volunteering at the humane society. As I sat with Karen and Patty at this time last year, I recognized the difficulty in talking to someone about facing death, and quite frankly, I struggled with the subject matter. Patty tells me that it is not a “death Joseph Bell Managing Editor sentence,” and that many forms of cancer, and particularly breast cancer, are now “more treatable than ever.” The fact remains that it is still cancer, and that continues to be a distressing term, and a scary reality. And Karen knew this far too well. Initially diagnosed in October of 2012, she battled in what became an "everyday process." The breast cancer, initially classified at Stage 2, had reappeared in Karen's liver and lungs, and metastasized. Another aggressive round of chemotherapy seemed to wipe out the cancer from the liver, but it soon returned. "I never thought it was something that would happen to me," Karen told me. "I can get rid of it but it will come back. It will spread to the point where I'll more or less be sent home." Patty had taken Karen to a doctor’s appointment as she neared the end of her far-too-short life. At the time, Patty recalls Karen being rather positive, thinking she had the disease beat…she did her chemotherapy, then discovered the cancer was in her other breast, and shortly afterward, her doctors found the cancer had spread to her liver. Tragically, Karen never recovered and left us sooner than she should have. As each person passes by, you never quite know the battles they’re fighting or the invisible crosses they carry. I’m blessed to have been permitted but a small glimpse of Karen's life and her fight. As we continue to work toward promoting breast cancer awareness…and all cancers in fact…I’m reminded that we hope the diseases are “only a passing cloud,” and that in time, the sun will still come out. – Joseph Bell is the managing editor of The Daily Press.

Guest Commentary Grace Lee Boggs: A Century of Grass-Roots Organizing Grace Lee Boggs died this week at the age of 100. "She left this life as she lived it: surrounded by books, politics, people and ideas," said her friends and caretakers, Shea Howell and Alice Jennings. Grace Lee Boggs was not only a grass-roots organizer, but a philosopher, a teacher and a revolutionary. She devoted her life to empowering the poor, the working class and communities of color, and was deeply involved with a constellation of movements, from civil rights and black power to labor, environmental justice and feminism. She lived for more than 60 years in Detroit, and witnessed that city transform from the world capital of the automobile industry, through social protest and unrest in the 1960s, to the post-industrial era, where, behind the crumbling facade of empty factories, myriad experiments in urban renewal and local self-reliance are incubating. "You don't choose the times you live in, but you do choose who you want to be, and you do choose how you want to think," she told a group of undergraduates in the film about her life, "American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs." This remarkable woman lived that credo for a full century. Grace Lee Boggs was born in 1915, the child of Chinese immigrants, above the family's restaurant in Providence, Rhode Island. By 16, she was at Barnard College, and by the age of 25 had her Ph.D. in philosophy from Bryn Mawr. I asked her how she became an activist: "In those days, even department stores would come out and say, 'We don't hire Orientals,'" she told me. With her doctorate in hand, she moved to Chicago, where, she said, "I got a job in the philosophy library for $10 a week ... it wasn't enough to get a place to live, other than [a] basement, rent-free. I had to face down a barricade of rats in order to get to the basement. That made me rat-conscious, made me join a tenants' committee against rat-infested housing, which brought me into contact with the black community for the first time in my life, and enabled me to become part of the March on Washington movement organized by A. Philip Randolph." We should thank those Chicago rats for spurring her to action. The "March on Washington" she mentioned was not the wellknown march from 1963, where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, but rather the 1941 March on Washington. The renowned labor leader A. Philip Randolph, along with the gay, black pacifist Bayard Rustin, both of whom would later lead the famous 1963 march, organized a similar march two decades earlier. In 1940, they saw that domestic war production was lifting hundreds of thousands of white workers out of the prolonged poverty of the Great Depression, but, as most production plants were segregated, was leaving black workers behind. The movement they built forced President Franklin Roosevelt to integrate the plants involved in building the arms for World War II. This helped spur the great migration of AfricanAmericans from the Jim Crow South to the industrial cities of the North. Grace Lee Boggs married, but not the first man who proposed to her. He was Kwame Nkrumah, who met Grace in 1945, while studying in the United States. He would return to Africa and become the founding president of Ghana. Grace would say of his proposal, "I was completely taken by surprise ... I declined because I couldn't imagine myself being politically active in a country where I was totally ignorant of the history, geography and culture." Nkrumah said later, "If Grace had married me, we would have changed all Africa." Instead, she changed America. Ultimately, Grace would marry autoworker Jimmy Boggs, and they formed an intellectual and organizing team that became legendary in Detroit. "Jimmy came out of the Deep South," she told me. "He had a sense of the agricultural epoch. Then he came and worked in the plant and had a sense of the industrial epoch. "Detroit, which was once the symbol of miracles of industrialization and then became the symbol of the devastation of deindustrialization," Grace Lee Boggs explained, "is now the symbol of a new kind of society, of people who grow their own food, of people who try and help each other, to how we begin to think, not so much of getting jobs and advancing our own fortunes, but how we depend on each other. I mean, it's another world that we're creating here in Detroit." She founded Detroit Summer in 1992, to bring young people together to work on innovative urban renewal. The fruits of her labor continue to grow around the city, with urban farms, microenterprises and a focus on the local economy. Grace Lee Boggs lived a life that spanned a century, from World War I through the digital age. Young people flocked to meet her at her home, now the Boggs Center to Nurture Community Leadership, following in her footsteps, learning, as she said, that "the only way to survive is by taking care of one another." – Amy Goodman is the host of "Democracy Now!," a daily international TV/ radio news hour airing on more than 1,300 stations.

(Passenger Leon Klinghoffer was killed by the hijackers during the standoff.) In 1995, a sabotaged section of track caused an Amtrak train, the Sunset Limited, to derail in Arizona; one person was killed and about 80 were injured (the case remains unsolved). In 2009, President Barack Obama was named the recipient of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for what the Norwegian Nobel Committee called "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." Ten years ago: Dozens of foreign tourists fled devastated lakeside Mayan towns as Guatemalan officials said they would abandon communities buried by landslides caused by Hurricane Stan and declare them mass graveyards. A driverless Volkswagen Touareg, designed by Stanford University, won a $2 million race across the rugged Nevada desert, beating four other robot-guided vehicles that completed a Pentagonsponsored contest aimed at making warfare safer for humans. Actor-comedian Louis Nye died in Los Angeles at age 92.

Lottery seeks drawing show witnesses MIDDLETOWN – Singer Marvin Gaye famously asked, “Can I get a witness?” Today, anyone old enough to remember that hit song from 1963 is very likely the right age to volunteer as a witness on the Pennsylvania Lottery’s evening drawing show. “Serving as a drawing show witness is more than just a chance to be on TV; witnesses represent the public interest by helping to ensure the security and integrity of our drawings,” said Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko. “We sincerely appreciate the participation of all of our witnesses since we started televising drawings 38 years ago.” Pennsylvania residents 55 or older are invited to volunteer. Witnesses perform different functions on two consecutive evenings, which includes appearing oncamera on one of the nights. The process lasts approximately 2.5 hours, from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., each night. Witnesses work with two Pennsylvania Lottery drawing officials, who will directly perform all drawing tasks, and two independent Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), who will monitor all tasks to ensure that all procedures are properly performed and security standards are met. Over the two nights, witnesses directly participate in the selection of the drawing machines and ball sets used for drawings, observe all pre-drawing and postdrawing tests and appear Today's Weather Mon 10/11 60/40 Tue 10/12 66/45 10/13 71/49 60/40 Rain showers in the morning with thunderstorms developing in the afternoon.

Tom Wolf's administration announced Monday that Pennsylvania insurers must cover 3-D mammograms at no cost to women, increasing access to technology that has shown promise for women with dense breasts but has yet to receive full support from the medical community. The change occured because the administration determined a law requiring insurers to pay for "mammographic examinations" applies to 3-D scans in the same way the law applies to traditional scans, said Pennsylvania Insurance Department spokesman Ronald Ruman. The change is effective immediately, Ruman said. "A mammogram is a mammogram, and a 3-D mammogram is covered," he said. Pennsylvania law has required insurers to pay all costs for mammograms since 1992. First Lady Frances Wolf announced the change at a Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition meeting in Harrisburg. Until now, women had to pay $50 to $60 to get the 3-D test instead of the traditional test, according to the governor's office. Women with dense breasts have an increased risk of cancer, and cancer is more difficult to detect in dense breasts than in breasts that aren't dense using standard mammograms, said Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, co-vice chairwoman of the Preventive Services Task Force and a University of California San Francisco School of Medicine professor. But more research is needed before the task force can recommend women with dense breasts receive 3-D screening, Bibbins-Domingo said. In a draft recommendation issued in April, the task force said evidence is insufficient for it to recommend for or against 3-D screening for women with dense breasts. "Unfortunately, the science is not there to tell us exactly what types of additional screening modalities help us detect cancer in women with dense breasts," Bibbins-Domingo said. More sensitive tests are more likely to falsely identify signs of cancer, potentially causing anxiety and promoting overtreatment of patients, she said. But the type of certainty the task force seeks likely won't be available for years, said Dr. William Poller, director of breast imaging at Allegheny Health Network. Poller said he has been pressing insurance companies to pay for the 3-D technology, known as tomosynthesis. "The earlier you can find the cancer, the better off you are," he said. The 3-D technology allows doctors to view breast tissue in layers, like slices from loaves of bread, rather than just one image of the whole breast, Poller said. Western Pennsylvania insurers Highmark Inc. and UPMC Health Plan said they would comply with the requirement. Ruman said the state is trusting doctors to determine when a patient should receive a 3-D mammogram. "What we are really relying on are the medical professionals," he said. "If a doctor believes that this is the proper procedure for a given patient, then we're going to follow the direction of the medical professional."

Amazon challenges Etsy with Handmade at Amazon NEW YORK (AP) — Amazon is launching its site for handcrafted goods called Handmade at Amazon on Thursday, hoping to capitalize on shoppers' appetite for homemade goods ahead of the holiday season. The move throws down the gauntlet to craftselling site Etsy. But at least at the time of launch, the two sites will have a very different seller base, fee structure and stances on manufacturing. Amazon started offering invitations in May to join Handmade, giving sellers access to Amazon's 285 million shoppers. The Seattle-based retailer says the site, which will carry everything from $30 walnut cufflinks from Australia to $325 handmade quilts from Wisconsin, sprang from customer feedback and site searches for crafty items. "We had thousands of searches every day from customers looking for handmade or handcrafted items," said Peter Faricy, vice president for Amazon Marketplace. That focus also pits it directly against Etsy Inc., which started 10 years ago as a marketplace for homemade goods and went public in April. But they're a bit different in ST.

Thank you all. Dan, John and their families. size and scope. At launch, Handmade at Amazon will include about 5,000 sellers from 50 states and 60 countries offering 80,000 items. Amazon takes a 12 percent fee from overall sales made by Handmade at Amazon sellers and includes payment processing, discounted shipping and access to other Amazon services. There's no listing fee or monthly fee to start. In contrast, New Yorkbased Etsy has 1.5 million sellers and 21.7 million buyers as of June 30. It takes a 3.5 percent fee on overall sales and a 20 cent listing fee per item listed. They also differ in terms of manufacturing policy. Amazon says sellers have to fill out an online application to be approved to sell on the site and all items sold on the site must be "factory-free" and not made by manufacturers.

Wilson, Pastor Lords Day Mass 7:30 p.m. — Saturday In case you haven’t noticed, life is tough. Bad things happen to good people. Life, in spite of what you might have been told, is not fair. Living happily ever after only happens in fairytales. Movies may have happy endings, but life often doesn’t. Today it’s raining. For some it represents gloom and doom. The dreariness of the dark and cold day, coupled with the rain is depressing for some. I’m not one of those people. I actually enjoy the rain. In fact sometimes I like to walk in it, or sit on a porch and watch it. I’m sure I’m not alone, as I’ve met others who share my quirkiness. It’s a peaceful sort of day, one where curling up on the couch with a good book would seem appropriate. Yet while I’m sitting in a warm house there are others who are outside having to work in the rain. Cold and miserable, they are enduring hardship out of necessity, just to meet the needs of life.

By Pastor B.J. Knefley FLEMING & HAINES, INC. I’ve learned something in my lifetime. Joy can be found even in the most difficult times. Jesus, for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, (Hebrews 11:2). Joy is something I can lean into. It is part of hope, which translates into faith. I’ve met people who have learned to move through the many trials of life with joy. Not the happy, jubilant and hallelujah chorus type of joy but rather the steadfast internal joy that propels us forward through the trials of this life. They choose it, because it can be chosen. People often don’t think of joy as something that can be chosen, but it can. Just as other things can be chosen. We must remember that the more we chose a behavior, the easier it will be to fall into it again. When we give into the negative selftalk, we can perpetuate and spiral down into the pit of despair. We can have great expectations for our life, but not see how are choices are affecting the outcome. Perhaps that’s why our joy slips away. Think about it. Denise Cuneo Attorney at Law ST.

Photo by Amy Cherry One woman places a survivor pin on another at the Everyday We Wear PINK photo shoot, a project started by Renee Price of Kane to bring awareness of the disease and honor breast cancer patients and survivors. Photo by Amy Cherry Fifteen local breast cancer patients and survivors gathered on Sunday for the Everyday We Wear PINK photo shoot in St. Marys. Photographer Continued from Page 1 “That’s scary and it can happen to anybody and it affects people in different ways.” On Sunday, Price conducted a group photo shoot on the grounds of St. Joseph Monastery in St. Marys. Price coordinated the event with Barb Schatz of SMP Home Medical where Schatz conducts mastectomy fittings and invited her clients to attend the photo shoot as a promotion for breast cancer awareness month. A group of 15 breast cancer patients and survivors attended the event. The sunny fall day was the perfect backdrop for the photo shoot where women posed near a lifesize wooden pink ribbon. They could also choose from an array of props including a large pink frame, scarves, boas in various shades of pink, and more. Price often witnesses a transformation in women once the photo shoot begins. “It’s like a whole other personality comes out when they are in front of the camera,” she explained. “For me this is the most rewarding thing ever.” Price’s coverage area is currently concentrated throughout western Pennsylvania and western New York. Whenever she and her husband Bob Price travel out of the area, Renee posts her location on the project’s Facebook page to gauge interest if any women in that specific area are interested in scheduling a photo shoot. Price will work with each woman to choose a location for the shoot. She prefers outdoor locations when possible due to the natural lighting and scenery. To date, Price has conducted nearly 20 photo shoots with the largest being on Sunday in St. Marys. The photo shoots typically are done on a one-onone basis. Price provides each woman with a flash drive of their photos that they may print for themselves. “I would love for it to go nationwide and even global and have other photographers doing this for these women,” Price said. According to Price, her mother, Dawn VanIderstine, struggled with breast cancer for six years and eventually lost her battle on July 3, 2015. Price explained that her mom had wanted her to do a photo shoot for her but she never felt well enough to do so. “It’s my way of keeping her memory alive,” Price said. “I don’t have awesome photos of my mom so I want these women and their families to have these beautiful memories.” The project is still in its infancy stage as Price started conducting photo Photo by Amy Cherry shoots at the end of July, Renee Price of Kane is shown photographing Jane Williams durmany of which were in her native western New York ing a recent photo shoot in St. Marys as part of her Everyday We Wear PINK Project. as well as in the Buffalo disease alone. area where her mother of- she said.

That’s a big thing for me,” they are not fighting this cancer did not run in my family, but after it happened to me, it just exploded on my mom’s side and my dad’s side of the family,” she said. “I know one still has it, and there are second cousins as well. I preach mammograms to everybody.” Sadly, 18 years ago, there was not a significant presence of breast cancer awareness versus today. Much of that is due to a stronger technology presence through online media and increased information available on breast cancer awareness. “Eighteen years ago there was no support system for breast cancer,” she said. “No groups, no nothing, and I thought I had a death sentence. It’s so important to have a group and peers, people who have had cancer talk to you, much like this [interview session with fellow breast cancer survivors], informally, and just talk to each other and share what we all went through. “It helps to know what you can do to help yourself, and I did not have that. I had my family and their support, and they were very supportive. My employer was very supportive, my boss's wife helped me a great deal, and I was very emotional at the time but they were very supportive.” Breast cancer survivor Patty Greene of Kersey agreed with Ginny’s concerns over the lack of a peer support system in the late 1990s. “When Ginny was going through her battle, at that time people were very afraid of cancer in general,” Patty said. “I think because of that, the awareness and support groups just weren’t around yet. A lot of it was fear, is it contagious, things like that.” With the lack of a wig shop nearby in the late 1990s, Ginny had to rely on her boss’s wife who was a hairdresser. “I’d wear it every day to work but I’d go home at noon for lunch and put baby powder on it because it was so hot. It was itchy and just awful,” Ginny said. “I burned my wig and I was so happy to do that. It was very therapeutic to get rid of that wig but I still needed counseling, and I still go to counseling.” When she was first diagnosed, Ginny said she recalls a strong feeling of anger aimed toward everyone. Though visibly uncomfortable saying it, Ginny was “angry with God” as well. “I couldn’t understand why God would give me cancer and it took me a long time with therapy to understand that he didn’t just pick me out and say ‘You’ve got this cancer,’” she said. “I was very angry.” Finding humor in the situation, however, Ginny recalls how she “hated to be around girls with long hair.” “They’d whip their hair back and forth,” she says laughing, “and I wanted to go over and cut it! Eventually you get past that and that’s what counseling has done for me.” But the road to getting back to the ebb and flow of everyday life is anything but normal. It is, in fact, a difficult road to travel; even after the cancer is gone, the grave thoughts remain. “This is just my personal opinion, but even Ginny Continued from Page 1 changes in it.” "At that time there was a nurse who had gone through the same thing and I was taken into surgery within two days and had a lumpectomy done, and it showed it was cancer, and the following week I had a complete mastectomy,” she said. “I had eight rounds of chemo and then four rounds of a different kind of chemo, then 28 days of radiation, all in DuBois.” The bottom line for Ginny, however, is that you cannot ignore even the possibility of having breast cancer. “If you have a gut feeling, you find it in self-examination, you have to go and get checked out,” she said. “You have to deal with it, you have to get those mammograms, and I’m constantly stressing that to my daughter.” Ginny was 43 years old at the time of her diagnosis, and she says had she stuck with a proper mammogram schedule, “it would’ve been caught sooner and I wouldn’t have had to go through the dramatic treatments that I did.” “At that point, breast when you’re done with the cancer, some people just think, ‘OK, you’re done, you had your surgery, life goes on, you’re done, you’re fine,’ Patty said. “It does not work that way… you are never done. It’s a constant thing.” The fear of having to deal with breast cancer more than once is something many, if not all survivors deal with. As Amy Gorman, a breast cancer survivor living in St. Marys said, “You had it once and you beat it…how many times can you have it and beat it?” And 18 years later, “every time I’m getting ready for my checkup I get nervous,” Ginny said, “because you never know, this might just be the time.” But early detection still remains the key. Stages 0 and 1 have a 100 percent survival rate according to cancer.org. For Stage 2, where the tumor is 2 cm across or less, or has spread to one to three axillary lymph nodes with the cancer in the lymph nodes larger than 2 mm across, the survival rate is 93 per- cent. At Stage 3, a higher number of lymph nodes are involved, including cancerous lymph nodes under and/or above the clavicle. The survival rate is 72 percent. At Stage 4, information from cancer.org reports that the cancer may be any size and may or may not have spread to nearby lymph nodes. It has spread to distant organs or to lymph nodes far from the breast. The most common sites of spread are the bone, liver, brain or lung. The survival rate for Stage 4 is reported at 22 percent. “Early detection is so important,” Ginny said. “The earlier they detect, the better things will be and the better your chances are for survival. It's not the inconvenience of getting the mammogram, it's just sitting there and waiting and waiting.” Patty is also quick to remind anyone with breast cancer that it is not a death sentence whatsoever. “It didn't happen overnight so you're not going to die overnight,” she said. 8 The Daily Press Friday, October 9, 2015 BREAST IMAGING CENTER OF EXCELLENCE Women’s Imaging Center AT PENN HIGHLANDS ELK We have achieved accreditation by the American College of 6EHMSPSK]%'6MREPPSJSYVQSHEPMXMIWSVGPEWWM½GEXMSRWSJ imaging technique).

Esther survived 10 years until she was diagnosed with colon then liver cancers. She passed away at age 56, when Jill was only 25. “She was an amazing woman,” Jill said. Treating breast cancer Jill first discovered a lump in her breast in the summer of 2014, but did not have a mammogram until November which was positive showing calcifications. On her 40th birthday on Dec. 15, Jill underwent a biopsy which came back positive. Additional biopsies and tests were performed at Allegheny General in Pittsburgh by Dr. Poller, a radiologist and friend of Jill’s whom she studied with to learn how to conduct breast biopsies. Two days after her birthday, Jill was informed she had invasive breast cancer. More testing and two biopsies followed as doctors found additional areas of cancer in her breasts. Jill detailed one procedure where doctors use a nuclear medicine study injecting dye and contrast into a patient to illuminate the main lymph nodes affected with cancer. Jill said this is beneficial due to less lymph nodes having to be removed unlike when her mother had the procedure and doctors removed all of her lymph nodes. She explained during the procedure the sentinel lymph node, the first lymph node in which cancer cells are likely to spread, is checked and if it is cancer-free, the surgeon closes up the incision. In Jill’s case, the cancer was in her left breast and doctors removed the sentinel lymph node along with four others. Jill’s surgeon recommended a left mastectomy, however Jill opted to have a bilateral mastectomy which is the removal of both breasts. One of the main factors influencing her decision for a bilateral procedure was her mother’s history of cancer. “It was my personal conviction (because) from what I do every day I see a lot of women worry and wonder. I kind of wanted to not feel that way so I wanted to have them both taken care of,” she explained. “I see a lot of anguish, and a lot of pain and a lot of concern and that was the one thing I didn’t have to worry about.” The nine-hour surgery was performed in February at Hillman Cancer Center in Pittsburgh. Jill chose to have breast reconstruction done as well. After the oncology surgeon removed her breast tissue, a cosmetic surgeon placed expanders inside her breasts to help stretch the tissue. Jill returned to Pittsburgh once a week for eight weeks for checkups on the expanders. She eventually had surgery to place implants in her breasts. Due to the discovery of a second site of cancer in one breast, as well as the type tumors she had, doctors recommended chemotherapy which Jill underwent once a week for 12 weeks at Hahne Cancer Center at Penn Highlands DuBois. Jill noted a lot of breast cancer patients’ doctors do not explain to them if they opt for a mastectomy they do not have to undergo radiation due to all of the breast tissue being removed. If a lumpectomy is done, where the cancer is cut out of the breast, the remaining breast is usually radiated to prevent the cancer from returning. In addition, because the tumors were estrogen, progesterone and HER2positive, Jill was prescribed Herceptin, which fights against the tumor markers and her particular type of cancer. Jill receives an infusion of the drug every three weeks and will complete the treatment in April after which time she will take a pill regularly. Jill currently takes Tamoxifen, a drug that blocks the actions of estrogen and used to prevent various forms of breast cancer, which she will continue to take for the next 10 years. Don’t wait Jill admits she hesitated when she first discovered her breast lump. “I know mentally that I did put it off,” she said. “Don’t put it off, take care of yourself,” she said. Jill advised “as a health care professional and as a cancer patient, don’t ignore it.

The state Department of Human Services said Thursday that it received the reports about Glade Run Lutheran Services in Zelienople through its ChildLine hotline. It ordered the facility to close within 30 days. The department says it found violations including inadequate supervision of the children, failure to report missing children, staff members sleeping during their shifts and insufficient staffing levels. A Glade Run representative didn't immediately comment. The 56bed facility can appeal the department's decision. Holtzhauser Continued from Page 9 that to our doctor.” The importance of a support system “I have the best support system,” Jill said of her family and co-workers. In addition to her fiance Jim Chorney, Jill’s daughters Taylor, 19, a sophomore at Lock Haven University and Morgan, 15, a sophomore at St. Marys Area High School, have all been extremely supportive along with her, her ex-husband, and her radiology and mammography family at work. She also recalls the love and affection she received from Cooper, her 70 lb. white Standard Poodle. “He never left my side. He curls right up with me. He loves me,” she said. Prior to leaving for treatment, Jill’s work family presented her with a ‘basket of sunshine’ filled with Malibu rum, gift cards, bandages for her surgery, and much more. “It was the most amazing treasure and everybody was so supportive and banded together,” Jill said. Embracing her bald head Jill recollected the loss of her hair as being “tortuously slow” because her chemotherapy was at a lower dose over a 12week time period compared to some women who have stronger doses over a three-week period. Each day she would find herself vacuuming the bathroom floor to remove remnants of her once strawberry blonde hair. “I put that off as long as I could. I had the best comb over going because I didn’t want my patients to know I was a patient. It was hard for me. I just wanted to be their provider,” Jill said. Once her hair became “see-through” as Jill described it, she began wearing scarves, opting to forego a wig. Jill credits the dedication of her hair stylist Dusty Dollinger whom she said cried with her when she lost her hair and helped her dye it black once it started to come back in salt and pepper colored. Life lessons “The biggest thing I’ve learned in my process is that you do not know what’s going on in someone else’s life,” Jill said. “That was my cancer lesson, to respect other people and what they may not be sharing. If they’re not in a good mood and are having a bad day, it’s probably bigger than whatever happened with you. Just know everyone has something they’re dealing with and we just need to respect each other.” Jill referred to a recent experience when she caught a glimpse of a little girl fighting cancer. “She looked so brave,” Jill said. “I see people who are a whole lot sicker than me and I think I can handle this. I’m fine. I’m happy, I’m healthy.” WET BASEMENT? 5% Discount with this ad 1-800-BUSY DOG OR 814-834-9757 441 Hall Ave. St. Marys, PA 15853 ),1,6+('81),1,6+('%$6(0(176&5$:/63$&(6 FREE ESTIMATES FULLY INSURED FINANCING AVAILABLE FULLY LICENSED 781-1573 FULL FU ULL BASEMENT BA ASEMENT EM NT WATERPROOFING WATERPRO WA AT RP OFING G & MOLD REMEDIATION bestwetbasementrepairs.com PA# 053072 1 DAY ONLY...

The lengthy timespan between surgery and chemo was due to Gorman’s borderline age and diagnosis. When Amy initially went for treatment at Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC, her doctors were on the fence about ordering chemo or not ordering it. To provide additional information, an Oncotype DX test was performed which involved testing cells from the lump. This multi-gene diagnostic test analyzes the activity of a group of genes that can affect how a cancer is likely to behave and respond to treatment. The results are reported on a scale of 1-100 known as a Recurrence Score. A score of 18 or lower means the cancer has a low risk or recurrence and the benefit of chemotherapy is small and will not outweigh the risks of side effects. A midlevel score of 18-31 determines cancer has an intermediate risk of recurrence and is unclear if chemo outweighs the risks of side effects. Amy’s score was a borderline 19. “It’s so hard because the doctors aren’t allowed to tell you. Even when I asked them what they would do if I were their sister they still couldn't tell me what to do," she explained. With this information in hand, Amy discussed her options with her family and boyfriend Pat Rettger. “I told them I already lost Russ through this whole ordeal, I need to fight this as hard as I can,” Amy said. “I’m in a position where I have the backing and the support. I needed to do the chemo. I kind of made my mind up already before I got the Onco test reading.” Upon informing her doctors she was going to pursue chemotherapy, they told her she was doing the right thing and were pleased she chose to move forward with treatment. Amy’s treatment began in December 2014 and entailed four rounds of chemo at Magee every three weeks and 33 rounds of radiation at Hahne. She finished treatment on Valentine’s Day. Amy currently has followup appointments at Magee every six months for the next five years and checkups with her radiation doctor every six months as well. In addition, for the next 10 years, Amy will take the drug Tamoxifen, used to treat and prevent various types of breast cancer. Amy added that Tamoxifen is a “very scary drug to take” as one of the side effects is an increase in a woman’s chance of uterine cancer as well as causing blood clots. Once Amy goes through menopause, she will be switched to a different drug other than Tamoxifen. This month she is scheduled to have blood work done to determine if she has reached menopause, which can be brought on early with chemotherapy. Don’t delay, get checked Amy admits she delayed seeking medical advice upon first discovering a lump on her breast. Because of this, she emphasizes that women should not ignore such signs. “Don’t ignore it,” Amy stressed. Throughout her breast cancer battle, Amy kept a diary detailing how she was feeling, what stage she was in with her treatments, her pain level, what was going on in her life and more. “Cancer is a second job. You have to be your own advocate,” she advised. During each doctor’s visit, Amy asks for a copy of her report, especially any pathology reports. She stores those reports along with a plethora of other helpful information inside a massive white binder provided to her by Paulette Schreiber. Amy’s Army Amy’s support system, consisting of her immediate family, work family, relatives, friends, and neighbors, is known as Amy’s Army. She credits her personal army as being instrumental in her road to recovery. Each day, Amy received between one to See Gorman, Page 12 MDF - Mt. Jewett 149 Temple Drive Mt. Jewett, Pa 16740 NEW ST.

A simple message of ‘Amy, I’m thinking of you, keep fighting’ boosted her spirits to continue her battle. She recollected how on chemo days she would return home after a long day of treatment to find a mailbox full of cards. “People in the community would know when I went to chemo and would time those cards,” Amy said. “That kept me going.” Amy described an unexpected touching moment one Sunday while at church. The week prior, Amy and her boyfriend had missed their usual Mass at St. Mary’s Church, opting instead to go to a later Mass at Sacred Heart Church. This apparently drew concerns about her health from her fellow St. Mary’s parishioners as upon their return to Mass the following week, a man approached Amy telling her they were relieved to know she was feeling well as they feared her health had taken a turn for the worse. The community’s kindness was evident as people often brought dinner to Amy and helped clean her house. Her work family at St. Marys Insurance would often call and ask what she wanted on her pizza then deliver it along with some wings. Every time Amy went to chemo, her work family would buy her “tons” of scratch-off lottery tickets along with a card signed by all of them to keep her busy during her appointment. On Nov. 12, her boss, Jeff Azzato, informed her to take some time off to heal. She returned to work in January. With 23 people in her immediate family, Amy is surrounded by support. She recollected how Amy’s Army was out in full force during the June 2014 Relay for Life in Kersey. “We had a great time and we will be there every year to march on,” Amy said. The creation of Amy’s Army was a project of her nieces Delana and Abby as a way to help them stay positive. “They wanted to help everyone with cancer,” she said of their efforts. In addition, Amy’s cat Turtle also aided in her healing, always ready to cuddle with her especially after long days of chemo. A hairy battle Within seven to 10 days of starting her chemo treatments, Amy was told she would start losing her hair. Amy recollected she first noticed her hair was falling out while at a work conference in Erie. When she returned home she asked her boyfriend to shave her head because she didn’t want to wake up one morning to find all her hair on her pillow. “That would just be too traumatic,” Amy said. At the time, Amy’s hair had fully grown just past her shoulders. “He (Pat) shaved it and that night I think was the hardest night on him. That was the hardest thing I think he ever did in his life,” Amy explained. Amy took her hair loss in stride, joking it was much less maintenance with a bald head. Prior to losing her hair, Amy ventured to DuBois to purchase a wig for $250. She went into work each day wearing the wig. “I felt like I was 'Halloweening,'” she said. “I hated wearing it.” When people would comment on how they liked her hairstyle, Amy replied honestly that it was a wig. She would often pull her wig off on her ride home for lunch, garnering surprised reactions from fellow motorists. “In November I was going to church and I thought 'I’m done wearing the wig.' I thought this is who I am, I’m bald, it’s fine because I’m not in the bathroom doing my hair for hours. So I talked myself into it and said if I can go into church bald, I can get rid of the wig,” Amy said. As she entered the church she was wearing a knit hat. “As I was kneeling and praying I asked God to give me the strength to See Gorman, Page 13 Giving You Something to Smile About!

(AP) — Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone, celebrated as a hero for helping to stop a terror attack on a French train over the summer, was stabbed and seriously wounded outside a bar in his hometown early Thursday in what police said was an alcohol-related brawl. Stone, 23, was knifed three times in the upper body but was expected to survive after about two hours of surgery, said Dr. J. Douglas Kirk, chief medical officer at UC Davis Medical Center. "This incident is not related to terrorism in any way," Deputy Police Chief Ken Bernard said. "We know it's not related to what occurred in France months ago." A grainy surveillance video from a camera outside a liquor store showed a man who appeared to be Stone fighting with sev- eral people at an intersection. The group spilled into the street as people took swings at each other, and one person got knocked down. Police said two assailants fled in a car. No immediate arrests were made. Bernard said Stone was out with four friends when they got into a fight with another group of people. The deputy chief would not say what sparked the argument. He said there was no evidence the assailants knew who Stone was. Bernard said he did not know whether Stone was drinking, but others in his group were. Kirk said Stone remained heavily sedated in the hospital's intensive care unit. He declined to discuss any details about the surgery or whether any vital organs were damaged in the stabbing, beyond saying Stone had "significant injuries." The airman arrived at the nearby hospital conscious despite his wounds, the doctor said. "I suspect given his history of recent events he is quite a fighter," Kirk said. He said Stone's family asked him to convey "their deepest gratitude for all the expressions of concern for his welfare at this very difficult time for them." In August, Stone and two of his childhood friends from Sacramento, National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos and college student Anthony Sadler, were vacationing in Europe when they sprang into action aboard a Paris-bound passenger train and tackled Ayoub El-Khazzani, a man with ties to radical Islam. He had boarded the train with a Kalashnikov rifle, a pistol and a box cutter. diary. Amy’s insurance company, Highmark, refused to pay her claim for a wig, claiming she did not need a wig to "beat the disease." “I told them they were going to pay for a $250 wig or instead pay a $10,000 depression claim,” she stated. Amy unfortunately did not win her fight against the insurance company despite arguing back and forth with them, as well as presenting her case in person while attending a meeting at the Highmark offices in Pittsburgh.

Little did she expect to take on a second battle over compensation for a wig while fighting breast cancer. “That became my personal battle for awhile,” Amy said. At some point cancer patients may receive a prescription for a cranial prothesis, or a wig. “I will fight that until I die because every girl should have a right to get a wig,” Amy wrote in her Saturday, March 12 • 7:00pm Doors Open at 6pm St. Marys Area High School Auditorium South St. Marys Road, St. Marys, PA 15857 Tickets on Sale beginning Friday, 10/9/15 Available at: St Marys Auto Body 1021 Trout Run Road (814) 781-1961 $26.00 + tax and handling (All Reserved Seating) Today’s SPECIAL SURPRISE GUEST YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS! %&#%URFNZD\ CARPET AND FURNITURE 301 NORTH BROAD ST.

Brady Schneider and Nathan Crusader soccer shuts out Smethport 4-0 By Becky Polaski Staff Writer The Elk County Catholic Crusader soccer team recorded their third shutout in their last four games on Thursday afternoon when they defeated the Hubbers 4-0 on the road in Smethport. ECC head coach TJ Weaver remarked that the game was a tale of two halves, with his squad struggling to move the ball in the opening 40 minutes of the match. “In the second half we were able to change our play to a possession game and we were able to finish on the opportunities,” Weaver said. Valentyn Wolfe had a hat trick for the Crusaders, scoring once in the first and twice in the second. Tony Pollick also had a goal. “I am very pleased with the progression and the kids’ abilities to make adjustments,” Weaver said. “Tonight we were able to play all the kids, which is nice.” Now 11-2 on the season, ECC will return to action tonight when they host the DuBois Central Catholic Cardinals in a 7 p.m. match at Angela Huey Memorial Field at Fox Township Community Park. The match comes exactly one week after the two teams’ first meeting, which ECC won 2-0. Schlosser each finished with cards of 100 for the Crusaders to round out the top five. Tyler Wehler had a 102 for ECC and Ross Martin finished with a 103. “Ridgway played very well once again this year to claim the championship. The last two years they shot 389 to claim the championship and this year 393. They have had an excellent run over the past three seasons with excellent players,” said ECCHS coach Aaron Straub. “Coming into today’s match we had been making strides in a positive direction.

The momentum Lion is able to get on the maneuver gives the Dutchmen a significant advantage, and it helped the team score both of their goals as they rallied to defeat the Port Allegany Gators 2-1 on Thursday afternoon at the SMAHS soccer field. St. Marys Area head coach Russ Micale indicated that Lion’s flip throw came about almost by accident. “He did it one day at practice and it worked out pretty awesome,” Micale said. “Any game that it’s dry, he’s been very effective. If it’s wet out he can’t keep a grip on the ball. It’s a huge weapon. Anywhere from about 40 yards out he can put the ball in the box, so it’s very danger- ous. We definitely enjoy having that option.” The Dutchmen kept the Gators from getting a shot in the first 10 minutes of the game, but then Port caught a lucky break to score an early goal. With the action centered in the area in front of the Dutch goal, SMA keeper Caleb Barackman decided to come out and try to secure the ball to prevent a shot. However, just before he could get into the mix of players, Port junior Calvin Burleson headed the ball past him and into the empty net to give the Gators a 1-0 lead with 28:08 left in the first half of the match. Both teams put together some nice chances throughout the remainder of the half, but it would be a throw-in by Lion that set the stage for St. Marys Area’s tying goal. With just under three minutes to go before the break, Lion took the throw-in and put the ball in a nice spot right in front of the goal. Port’s keeper misplayed it and it ended up going out of bounds, giving St. Marys a corner kick. Nathan McAnany took the kick from the corner to the right of the goal, and Nathan Schneider was able to put the ball past Port keeper Garrett Talkington to tie the game at 1-all with 2:37 left in the half. Both teams came out of the break with renewed momentum as each fought for an advantage. Both keepers did a nice job fielding anything that came their way, but the difference maker in the match proved to be a throw-in by Lion with just under 25 minutes remaining. Performing what has become his signature move, Lion took the throw from the sideline to the right of the goal and was able to send the ball right into a mix of players in front of it. Talkington did his best to get to it, but Schneider got there first St. Marys Area Bowling Leagues NOTICE - Bowling league results appear in The Daily Press on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Both teams had a number of chances as the clock wound down, and fans were treated to a very intense final few minutes as the Gators did everything they could to try to retie the match. However, Barackman and the Dutch defense came up with some big saves and St. Marys was able to hold on for the 2-1 victory. “There at the end we had some huge saves by Caleb, our keeper, and CJ McGowan blocked on there with three or four minutes left that would have been a goal if he hadn’t been there to block it,” Micale said. Now 6-7 on the season, St. Marys Area will return to action on Saturday at 12 p.m. when they travel to Punxsutawney to take on the Chucks.

ECC won the first set 25-23, but then Bradford took the next three sets 25-15, 28-26, and 2826 to claim the 3-1 victory. “It was an exciting match to watch,” said ECC head coach Diane Gies. “It was our first loss of the year, but I think we lost to a quality team. In Bradford, they always play us tough. We’re going to learn a lot from this loss, which is going to make us better going down the road. That’s what I told the kids. Yeah it’s our first loss on the year, but if we find and we examine the missed opportunities that we had, that’s only going to make us better and stronger going forward.” ECC was able to take a slim lead in the first set and pulled ahead 10-4 before returning the ball into the net. Behind the serving of Bryn Manion, the Lady Owls were able to close the deficit to 10-9 before a kill by Jordyn Fox gave ECC back the serve, 11-9. Josie Smith later took over serving with the Lady Crusaders holding a 13-11 lead, and behind her serve ECC opened up a bit more breathing room, 17-11. The Lady Crusad- 4. EMPLOYMENT ers maintained roughly a five-point lead as the set wound down, at one point leading 21-16. A failed return made the score 2117, and then Bradford’s Abby Burgess recorded an ace to cut the Lady Owls’ deficit to 21-18. However, a short serve into the net made the score 22-18 in favor of ECC. Elk turned the serve back over after failing to keep the volley going, 22-19, and then Bradford rode the serving of Manion to tie the match at 22-all before a block by the Lady Crusaders put the team back ahead 23-22. An ace by Ramsey Struble put ECC within one point of the match win, 24-22, but a return out of bounds by the Lady Crusaders gave the serve back to Bradford, 24-23. Bradford ended up returning a volley out of bounds, giving ECC the 25-23 set victory. In the second set, the serving of Morgan Roggenbaum and Lelia Sosic helped Bradford draw out to a big 12-2 lead, and try as they might, ECC was unable to close the gap. Smith helped the Lady Crusaders catch up slightly, as she had an ace to bring the team within 10 at 16-7. Elk followed that up with a block and then Bradford failed to return a volley, 16-9. A Bradford kill gave the Lady Owls back the ball, 17-9, but a short serve turned it right back over to ECC, 17-10. With Fox serving the ball 4.

Bradford later rallied behind the serving of Roggenbaum to tie the match at 16-all before continuing to pull ahead to take an 18-16 lead. ECC fought right back and was able to pull back ahead 1918 before turning over the serve. The teams fought back-and-forth until the end.

With Manion serving for Bradford, Elk hit the ball into the stands to give Bradford a 27-26 advantage and then returned the ball out of bounds to give the Lady Owls the 28-26 set victory. The fourth and final set featured more of the same exciting play and close scoring. Bradford eventually built a 23-17 lead, but the Lady Crusaders did not go down LEGAL NOTICE without a fight. Behind the serve of Smith, they were able to close the gap to 23-20 before a Bradford kill put the Lady Owls one point away from the victory, 24-20. With a chance to secure the victory, Bradford instead returned the next volley into the net to allow ECC to close to 24-21. Then, behind the serving of Fox, Elk was able to rally and take a 25-24 lead. However, the Lady Crusaders were unable to return a volley, allowing Bradford to retie the match at 25-all and the Lady Owls fought back to eventually win 28-26 and claim the 3-1 match victory. Cassidy Cunningham had 14 kids for the Lady Crusaders, while Reilly Herzing had nine and Ramsey Struble had eight. Fox and Smith each had four. Bradford also won the junior varsity match 2-1. Bradford won the first set 25-23, while ECC won the second set 25-21. The Lady Owls then claimed the victory with a 15-12 win in the third set.

Dear Annie: My husband of five years has just learned that his daughter is engaged, and I am already stressing about the wedding. My husband was married when we met. I didn’t intentionally date a married man, but he pur- sued me, and I told him that if he wanted to date me, he must leave his wife. It only took three months, so he was obviously ready to go. Still, I’m the “other woman.” I have tried to be considerate, avoiding the places where his ex shops. He has lunch regularly with his daughter, but the only time his daughter sees me is for a short, awkward time at holidays. His daughter came to our wedding, but didn’t stay for the reception. I don’t blame her. I’d hate me, too. I don’t want to go to her wedding. I feel it would stress her out, and I don’t want to ruin her special day. I think the focus should be on her, not on people whispering about the woman who broke up her par- ents’ marriage. I’ve been the butt of bitter comments already. I also don’t want to confront her mother. If the bride wanted me there, I would go, but I am pretty sure she doesn’t. Should I go and wish them well, then leave? Should I stay away altogether? My husband would have a better time if I were with him, but it’s not his big day. Please tell me what to do. -- Somewhere in California Dear California: You are wise to understand the situation, and considerate to put the bride first. Your husband should ask his daughter directly if she wants you there. If she says no, then stay away. If she says “yes” or she doesn’t care, it might be best for Everyone is quick to yell at the husbands for not doing the dishes, but why shouldn’t the wives be sharing the other tasks? -- Mike Dear Mike: We agree that the wives who are retired should pick up some of the slack on the other end, but these are not exactly equal chores. Dishes, laundry and housecleaning have to be done every day. Mowing the lawn or cleaning the gutters is seasonal and periodic. You could count up the hours spent doing each of these if you are determined to make it “equal,” but we don’t believe household chores should be tit-for-tat. You might be better at some things and your wife at others, and it’s fine to focus more on the work you do best. And the you to attend only the ceremony, and your husband should remain for the reception. But keep in mind that you are now married to Dad and in order for the situation ever to normalize, you will need to endure these encounters so that, over time, they won’t seem so unusual or stressful. Dear Annie: I am continually fascinated at the people who are quick to criticize retired husbands for not taking on 50 percent of the household chores. Why do these stories never include the expectation that the wife will wash the cars, mow the lawn, repair the broken shades, change the air-conditioning filters, clean the gutters and on and on? 0LOOLRQ'ROODU+Z\ CROSSWORD By Eugene Sheffer (c) 2015 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Just go with the flow, and keep treading water. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a wonderful, creative day for artists or for anyone doing a project, because it’s easy to think outside of the box. You’re full of imaginative, original ideas! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Ideally, this is a good day to cocoon at home. Spend money only on gas and food, because it’s a poor day for shopping. But it’s a great day to relax! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t make promises to anyone today. Don’t agree to anything important. Just go with the flow, and do not shop for anything other than gas and food. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Be careful in all financial transactions today. Avoid important decisions and major purchases. You’re back in business tomorrow. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, but it is void-of-course, in astrology parlance. This means today is a poor day to do anything, but it’s a fun-loving, creative day. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your general efficiency is going to improve now, because Mercury in your sign is no longer retrograde. I’m sure this will cause you to breathe a big sigh of relief. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a lovely day to hang out with others and just kick back and enjoy socializing. However, do not agree to anything important; spend money only on food or gas. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Others might know personal details about your private life today. It happens. Just let this slide, because this is a poor day to act on anything important. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Do something to feel that you’re getting more out of life. Explore the world around you, or travel a bit if you can. However, only spend money on gas and food today, or on fun entertainment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Postpone important decisions about shared property, inheritances and red-tape matters like that. This is a very poor day for these decisions. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be cooperative with others, because the Moon is opposite your sign today. But just go with the flow. Don’t come up with big ideas, and don’t agree to anything important. YOU BORN TODAY You have excellent money savvy. You are shrewd, capable and know how to run your affairs. You also are an excellent problem solver, which is why you ensure that you have a beautiful home that runs efficiently. This year is the beginning of a fresh, new nineyear cycle for you.
