While Ridgway Township roadmaster in 2015, Gardner padded the timesheets of his wife Rita, then a subordinate working for the township, to the extent that almost half of Rita’s reported and paid hours were never worked. An estimated $3,261 of township money was used to pay Rita for hours that were never worked. The entire $3,261 will be returned to the township by Elk County District Attorney Shawn T. McMahon after Gardner tendered the entire payment to the Elk County District Attorney’s office at his preliminary hearing in January. McMahon said during Monday’s court proceedings that Gardner was “extremely cooperative” with an investigation by the Pennsylvania State Police, adding that Gardner “immediately took full responsibility.” McMahon, who crafted the plea deal offered to Gardner, said the commonwealth’s proposed sentence was somewhat insignificant, but still held Gardner responsible for his actions. McMahon said Gardner’s reputation and standing within the community took a significant hit as a result of the incident, and for Gardner, that may be more pro- smdailypress.com By Amy Cherry Staff Writer St. Marys City Council approved two new resolutions updating city policies during their Monday evening work session.

Mayor joins effort to recognize impact of national service St. Marys Mayor Bob Howard issued a proclamation at Monday’s City Council meeting designating today, April 5, as a Recognition Day for National Service. Howard joined more than 2,800 county officials and mayors across the nation in recognizing the impact of national service. Altogether, these elect- ed officials represent more than 150 million citizens, or nearly half of the population. “National service is a vital resource for our area,” Howard said. “AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers make this a better place to live. As mayor, I am grateful for the dedication and sacrifice of these citizens, who are helping make our great region stronger, safer, and healthier.” Given the many social needs facing communities, county and city leaders are increasingly turning to national service as a cost-effective strategy to meet local needs. There are four active Amer- See Mayor, Page 3 Investigators with the Ridgway-based Pennsylvania State Police continue to investigate a string of incidents involving counterfeit money being passed at retailers in Fox Township. “This isn’t a common thing and a big reason is that it’s quite difficult to counterfeit,” said Trooper Bruce Morris, public information officer at the Ridgway barracks. “A lot of times, even regular civilians are used to currency to the point where they pick it up and you can nearly sense that the feel of it’s different. It feels like it goes in cycles where there will be a breakout here and then down the line somewhere else in the troop. “I can’t think of a time within recent memory where we’ve had a cluster of these cases. It’s usually spaced out pretty few and far between.” The Ridgway-based State Police last week released two reports regarding counterfeit money being used in Fox Township in addition to an incident two weeks ago as well.

SEE PAGE 6 RIDGWAY – Two months after being found guilty of a felony count of attempted criminal homicide, two felony counts of aggravated assault and a misdemeanor charge of recklessly endangering another person, Francis Anthony Milliard, 58, was in the Elk County Court of Common Pleas to discuss two pending cases against him. Milliard’s attorney, Jeffrey DuBois of DuBois, has filed motions for a change of venue in two cases that are pending in the Elk County Court of Common Pleas against Milliard. The motions were made in two cases from 2012: a prohibited firearms possession case and an arson case. While no ruling was made on the motion Monday, President Judge Richard A. Masson speculated that a hearing could be scheduled within the month to address the motion to change venues and to have Milliard’s cases heard outside of Elk County. Masson added that the hearing could align with Milliard’s sentencing for the 2012 assault of Todd Asti, which Milliard was found guilty of after a four-day trial in February. To comply with court timelines, Milliard has to be sentenced by the end of the first week of May to comply with a 90-day window that opened when Milliard was found guilty on Feb. 5 of brutally assaulting Todd Asti. Milliard remains incarcerated in the Jefferson County Prison on a federal sentence. Court date set for Highland Masson presides over 2003 assault case 2002, according to the Pittsburgh By Richie Lecker Post-Gazette. Township vacancy Staff Writer Upon being charged and arBy Ted Lutz Staff Writer RIDGWAY – A date has been set in Elk County Court for the potential filling of a vacancy on the Highland Township Board of Supervisors. Elk County Court President Judge Richard A. Masson has set the proceeding for Friday, April 22 at 9:30 a.m. at the main courtroom in the courthouse in Ridgway. In a court order issued Thursday, Masson said the “proceeding” would “afford the numerous applicants for the position the opportunity to present further information regarding their qualifications.” The court order allots 30 minutes for the proceeding. At least three township residents, all from James City, are interested in filling the board vacancy created by the Dec. 31 death of Paul Burton Sr. The three known candidates include: Lloyd Hulings, who lost to Mike Detsch in the Nov. 3 election for township supervisor. “I believe I can work with the other two supervisors (Detsch and Jim Wolfe) to make important decisions in the best interest of the residents of Highland Township,” Hulings said in a letter to the Board of Supervisors. See Vacancy, Page 3 RIDGWAY – Almost 13 years after failing to appear for jury selection, Jaroslav Dmitri Candler, 39, was in the Elk County Court of Common Pleas on Monday to address a 2002 assault in which Candler’s gun was reportedly fired at a Daguscahonda party, striking and injuring a local man. Candler, a dog breeder residing in Maryland, was arrested Feb. 11 in Pittsburgh on a bench warrant that was issued by President Judge Richard A. Masson from Elk County in 2003. Candler was initially accused of striking one man causing a head wound, and shooting another man in the chest with a .22 caliber handgun during a party in Daguscahonda in August rested, bail for Candler was set at $25,000, which he posted in September 2002. While free on bail, Candler failed to appear before the court for a scheduled jury selection on June 6, 2003 and again on Aug. 11, 2003. Monday was Candler’s first appearance in the Elk County Court of Common Pleas, or presumably in any court, since 2003. Represented by Gary Knaresboro, Candler pleaded guilty to a felony count of aggravated assault.

The young man called at the stipulated time but the young lady, who did not care for his company, was not at hand. We are informed he wore out a number of phones and several hundred railroad ties between 8 and 10 p.m. when he finally gave up in despair. The Crystal Hose Company was called out at noon yesterday on account of a fire in the office building of the St. Marys Sewer Pipe Works, located on Brusselles Street. The origin of the blaze, which started in the basement, is a mystery, as no fires were burning in the building and the electric current had been turned off. The building was completely gutted and the loss will probably reach about $2,000. One of the cars operated by the Ford Bus Line imbedded itself in the mud on Erie Avenue at noon today and was unable to get out under its own power. The car sank into the mud up to the running board and it was necessary to enlist the service of the Garner truck to pull it out, after which the little “Old Ford” rambled right along, none the worse from its mishap. Several other cars were stalled on this thoroughfare yesterday, and were gotten out with much difficulty as the mud is nearly two feet deep. Wednesday, April 5, 1916 James R.

Sometimes so plump that they can hardly walk. Their tail is a very short tail that curls up.” – Long Beach Press. The author of the above descriptive production is Miss Hazel Garner, granddaughter of L. H. Garner, of this city. We have now arrived at the month of April in this year of grace. Last year some of the season’s very warmest weather visited us during April. Many folks bemoaned the torrid days and groaned in anticipation of an approaching summer of scorching heat. As a matter of fact the summer was one of the coolest this section of the planet has experienced in many years. With few exceptions the nights were cool and comfortable, a perfect joy to night workers as well as to others. Unless April belies its usual record we are going to have a great deal of changeable weather during the next four weeks. There will be warm weather and cold; the sun will shine and the clouds will gather; there will be rain one hour and snow the next, intermingled, it may be with hail or sleet; there will be balmy zephyrs and possibly an occasional stinging blast from the north. While we have an infinite variety of weather here at almost every season, the present month is usually fertile in that respect. It is a weather-bringer, surely. Now the gardner begins to get busy. Already he has cumulated his garden-making tools and a plenteous assortment of seeds and plants and in some in- See Cents, Page 11 Photo submitted Recently the St. Marys Rotary Club welcomed Richard Eddy as its newest member.

The resolution documents the transition of the land for city records. As part of the city’s accreditation process, council is updating all its manuals, policies and processes. Council unanimously adopted a resolution establishing guidelines for police officers when making warrantless arrests under the Pennsylvania judicial code. “We should have a resolution on the books from City Council basically in the procedures allowing our officers to have warrantless arrests,” Pearson explained. “This is one thing we found out we didn’t have on the record books.” The purpose of the resolution is to get everything in line in order to obtain the accreditation. The summary offenses for which a police officer may make a warrantless arrest under the resolution are for disorderly conduct, public drunkenness, obstructing highway, underage purchase, consumption, possession or transportation of liquor. Pearson stated after realizing the city did not have this resolution, they wanted to ensure the procedure was officially listed on their books. The resolution allows the city to formalize the guidelines which states if a police officer has probable cause to believe there is a violation of one or more of the four summary offenses listed above and when there is ongoing conduct which imperils the personal security of any person or endangers public or private property, the officer shall have the right to arrest without a warrant. St. Marys Police Chief Tom Nicklas said the need for the resolution is to follow statutory requirements. He stated most procedures define for the police how they are to proceed with different types of criminal prosecutions. Summary offenses have a certain set of procedures as compared to felonies. “Most people who are cited for a summary violation will be issued a citation or have it mailed to them,” Nicklas said. “Sometimes folks act in such a way that we have to elevate what we do to the point of having to physically arrest them and take them from the scene.” Mayor Bob Howard reported the discussion during two recent executive sessions held by council on Monday March, 21 and Thursday, March 24 involved legal matters regarding potential litigation and personnel matters. As part of his regular updates on the status of areas of improvement for the city as mentioned in Novak Report, Pear- son reported things are progressing as expected with the city’s new sewer billing software. On March 31, Pearson, along with the city’s finance director and billing representatives, met with a programmer from Freedom Software. They hope to have the new system in place and up and running in May. Councilman Gary Anderson inquired about the status of the Elk Creek flood control study noting they appropriated money in this year’s budget for the study which will be conducted by Gannett Fleming. Pearson said they are finishing with the study and he anticipates receiving the results in May. City officials have already met with Elk County Commissioners and representatives from state Rep. Matt Gabler’s (R-Clearfield/Elk) office regarding the issue. The next step after receiving the report is to plan what direction city officials wish to go with the project. Pearson said they are waiting on the study to determine what type of assistance they will request from the state. All members of council were present at the work session except Councilman Greg Gebauer. City Council’s next meeting will be held April 18 at 7 p.m. at City Hall. nity development efforts.

In that case, Burton and former Supervisor Charlie Vaughn of James City could not agree on a replacement for Vanderneck. There also was a dispute involving the Vacancy Board chairman. Therefore, Burton and Vaughn asked the Elk County Court to fill the vacant seat. More than five months after Vanderneck’s death in January 2013, Masson named Wolfe to fill the vacancy. Wolfe was endorsed by Vaughn. Burton favored Bob Reigel of James City. He is husband of Christy Reigel, the current township secretary-treasurer and one of three candidates to fill the Burton vacancy. Both Wolfe and Reigel appeared before the judge in the courtroom, reviewed their resumes and gave their reasons for wishing to serve as a township supervisor. It is believed that candidates for the current board vacancy also would have a chance to address the judge in public court April 22 before the judge makes his decision. lenges for a prosecution of Candler. Due to the significant passage of time since the crime, several key witnesses and law enforcement officials have either died or moved out-ofstate. McMahon added that there could have been a self-defense argument in court as some evidence suggests that Candler was surrounded and assaulted by four individuals prior to the discharging of the gun. Further, McMahon stated that the weapon was found in Candler’s possession, but at the time, no gunshot residue was found on Candler’s hands. McMahon admitted that a jury could draw a conclusion from the evidence that an accidental discharge was responsible for the bullet that injured one man. However, with Monday’s plea by Candler, a jury will not be needed; Candler was scheduled for jury selection on Monday in the case, but with his guilty plea, jury selection has been canceled.

Christy Reigel, who works as the part-time secretary-treasurer for the township. “I am ready to work diligently with the board to improve the quality of life for all residents of Highland Township,” Reigel said in a letter to the board. Supervisors in two local townships-- Wetmore and Hamilton-- also work part-time as the township secretary-treasurer. Jody A.

Supervisors Wolfe and Detsch asked the court to name the third Highland supervisor because they can’t agree on a candidate to fill the vacancy. Normally, when a vacancy exists, the appointed Vacancy Board chairman breaks the tie when the remaining two supervisors can’t agree on a replacement. However, Wolfe and Detsch also can’t agree on the appointment of a Vacancy Board chairman. The township at this time does not have a Vacancy Board chairman, one of the posts filled at the annual reorganizational meeting in January. The township also is without a solicitor for now as Wolfe and Detsch can’t agree on an attorney to represent Highland. Wolfe and Detsch petitioned the court for the proceeding to fill the vacancy without the use of a legal firm. This is the second time in four years that the court is being asked to fill a vacancy on the Highland Township Board of Supervisors. A stalemate over the selection of a third supervisor in Highland developed in 2013 after the death of Supervisor Jack Vanderneck of James City. THINKING CARPET CLEANING?

According to social media polls 66% of employees feel the administrative assistant is more important than the big boss. This special recognition day started some 60 years ago as Secretary Day. As time changed so did the holiday, now the way administrative professionals describe their official and unofficial duties and responsibilities in the office could range from human resources director, accountant, concierge and therapist to downright miracle worker. While it is a holiday, it is up to the boss if they sing praise of their administrative assistants or not. The Daily Press will offer a beautiful card of thanks from the boss printed in the daily paper on the 27th and a nice flower delivered to local administrative professionals to mark the occasion.

During this minimal space of time we are fortunate to enjoy what most others cannot do. Most of the people who have ever lived are dead. Therefore we are in a very rare state of existence. We are in the land of the living. We breathe, eat, work, worry, cry, laugh and either enjoy or hate life. I read about young adults who die almost every day. Young people overdosing on drugs, alcohol or committing suicide. Millions more live in a depressive state. Life has its ups and downs and there is really no such thing as a perfect life. All of us are faced with sickness, caregiving, worries, stress, messes, disappointments, sadness, victories and more. It's life. We often look at other lives and envy them. We develop the impression that others are free of problems and sadness when often those who seem to be the happiest struggle the most. While being a caregiver for 12 years an acquaintance commented to me, "You seem to have the world by the tail. No one would ever dream you have a problem in the world." Smiling, trying to keep a good attitude and being kind to others throws a lot of people off. Sadly, we aren't used to seeing this in most people. We can't live our lives based on others. No one thing will make you happy or fill you with a vibrant life. No one person makes you alive. No one certain job will make you alive. Life is not ultimately found in money, a relationship, a child, a career, a house or anything. All of these of course add to our living. However, ultimate living is more powerful than any one certain thing, event or person. I understand losing a child or spouse in death cuts our hearts out. I've buried a child and a wife. It's horrific. I've had disappointments in business, frustrating jobs and fallen flat on my face. I know what it's like to draw unemployment. I know what it feels like to go to the county social services office and apply for Medicaid because I couldn't afford to pay for my wife's nursing home expenses. I know what it's like to lose "friends" because I didn't do exactly as they thought I should do. Oh well. Lots of stuff can rob us of life. Don't let this political season sour your life. Carefully consider who you think will be best for protecting our country by bringing our jobs back, updating our infrastructure, strengthening our Social Security and strengthening our military. Fighting and arguing about it all day is a waste of energy. Make your choice and vote. My preacher was talking a lot about life at church this past Sunday. He quoted a verse of scripture from Proverbs 12:28, "In the way of righteousness there is life." He talked about choosing to live. There are choices that lead to death but there are choices that lead to life. I hope today that you choose to live and love life. It's a brief experience. – Glenn Mollette is an American Syndicated Columnist and Author. He is the author of 11 books and read in all 50 states.

Having some difficulty with my card at the checkout, a woman behind me paid for my purchase. I have no idea who she was. Her kindness and generosity will never be forgotten. I would love to repay you if I only knew who you are. I hope someday our paths will cross again. Words cannot express how I feel. A simple thank you doesn’t seem adequate. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. You truly are an angel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Guest Commentary Jim Crow Days Are Here Again Jim Crow days are here again, in Mississippi, this time segregating gays and lesbians from fine, God-and-diversity-fearing citizens. But this latest mossback move to keep business at bay and our poor image intact might not stand. Why? Because some employers with big payrolls don't like it. To paraphrase the Bible, a little car company will lead them. Not so little, because Nissan employs 6,000 people in Mississippi, and the company says it opposes any law that discriminates. This one does. Also on record as opponents are Ingalls shipyard and MGM with its big state casinos. So if the governor of the Great State of Mississippi, as expected, signs into law something called the "Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act," an unconstitutional and thinly veiled slap in the face and freedom of the gay community, there might be huge economic repercussions. One can hope. Mississippi, always following, rarely leading, isn't the first state to play with discrimination fire. Ten have. The Georgia governor vetoed a similar effort by yahoos in that state's legislature after Hollywood threatened to rule out that state as the setting for moneygenerating movie shoots. Businesses in North Carolina are urging repeal of a law limiting transgender bathroom options in government buildings. Mississippi isn't paying any mind to the missteps of others. Why learn from the mistakes of others when you can make your own? I was expecting out-ofstate visitors one day last week and felt like hiding the local newspaper. Here were the headlines: "Coast religious leaders split on armed guards in places of worship" "Judge blocks ban on adoption by same-sex couples" "Coast clerks say they'll issue licenses to gay couples despite bill" (The aforementioned "Protecting Freedom of Conscience ...) And that was just the front page. How long, Mississippi, how long? The Mississippi Legislature manages to keep itself and the courts busy, doing things you might expect in a state that has both the highest potential and lowest success rate in almost any category you could name. Please, you're saying, give me an example of that ignored Mississippi potential. OK, here's one. With the highest percentage of African-Americans in the country except for the District of Columbia, Mississippi could, if it would, become a beacon of how to coexist in an increasingly diversified United States. Already we have more black elected officials and have dug out of a deeper hole than any other state when it comes to race relations. Instead, the legislature spends its time figuring out how to alienate and discriminate against another minority, eclipsing any forward mo- tion we've made. Mississippi arguably produced the nation's best novelist, William Faulkner, its best short story writer, Eudora Welty, its best playwright, Tennessee Williams, and a host of other writers and musicians. Yet we compete with Alabama to be tops in underfunding public education and throwing stumbling blocks in front of all the arts. With our abundance of churches -- I'm guessing more per capita than any other state -- we should have plenty of potential for teaching lessons of love for all of mankind. But, no, not happening, because we're too busy figuring out how to arm a deacon. – Rheta Grimsley Johnson's most recent book is "Hank Hung the Moon ... And Warmed Our Cold, Cold Hearts."

In 1621, the Mayflower sailed from Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts on a monthlong return trip to England. In 1764, Britain's Parliament passed The American Revenue Act of 1764, also known as The Sugar Act. In 1895, Oscar Wilde lost his criminal libel case against the Marquess of Queensberry, who'd accused the writer of homosexual practices. In 1915, Jess Willard knocked out Jack Johnson in the 26th round of their fight in Havana, Cuba, to claim boxing's world heavyweight title. In 1916, Academy Award-winning actor Gregory Peck was born in La Jolla, California. In 1925, a tornado estimated at F-3 intensity struck northern MiamiDade County, Florida, killing five people. In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order creating the Civilian Conservation Corps and an anti-hoarding order that effectively prohibited private ownership of gold. In 1955, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill resigned his office for health reasons. Democrat Richard J. Daley was first elected mayor of Chicago, defeating Republican Robert E. Merriam. In 1964, Army General Douglas MacArthur died in Washington, D.C., at age 84. In 1986, two American servicemen and a Turkish woman were killed in the bombing of a West Berlin discotheque, an incident which prompted a U.S. air raid on Libya more than a week later. In 1991, former Sen. John Tower, R-Texas, his daughter Marian and 21 other people were killed in a commuter plane crash near Brunswick, Georgia.

Gardner Continued from Page 1 found than the sentence imposed in court. With Gardner’s guilty plea to these charges, he will not be allowed to hold public office in the future; Gardner was set to begin a new term as Ridgway Township supervisor in January, however, in light of these charges, Gardner resigned as supervisor and roadmaster. Gardner remains employed by the township as a member of the road crew, although he remains suspended without pay pending the conclusion of this case; while he is still employed by the township, Gardner said Monday he has found alternative employment. Ridgway Township Supervisor Milly Bowers said Monday night that the township has not made any decisions to this point regarding Gardner’s employment. The next township meeting will be tonight at 7 p.m. at the Ridgway Township Municipal Building. While Gardner can no longer hold a public office and may not remain employed with the township, perhaps the most significant impact for Gardner comes in the forfeiture of his township pension plan. According to Gardner’s attorney, Beau Grove of Ridgway, Gardner is set to lose over $100,000 in pension funds with the entry of his guilty pleas. During Monday’s proceedings, McMahon said recommending incar- ceration would not have been appropriate in this case, calling Gardner’s actions a brief lapse in judgment in a life otherwise marked by public servitude. President Judge Richard A. Masson agreed, saying that Gardner was not a risk to the community and that the self-imposed punishments were likely more significant than the punishments the court could consider imposing. When given a chance to speak Monday, Gardner apologized to the county and to the township for his behavior, adding that his actions broke relationships and the trust that people had in him and government officials. Overall, Gardner was sentenced to 12 months of probation for each of the two charges, but the sentences will run concurrent to each other; for each of the 12 months, Gardner will have to pay a $35 supervision fee. For the theft by deception charge, Gardner was also assessed a $300 fine, the cost of prosecution and restitution, which has been paid in full since January. ST. MARYS MONUMENTS LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED SUSIE & DONNY (FLIP) BOBENRIETH 148 TIMBERLINE ROAD 834-9848 ‘Reverse transfer’ agreement signed HARRISBURG – Students who began their studies at a community college in Pennsylvania before transferring to a university within Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education might already have earned enough credits to receive their first degree. And now there’s an easy way for them to get it, through the newly launched “reverse transfer” initiative. The 14 community colleges in the state and 14 State System universities today signed a statewide reverse transfer agreement that will allow students who have earned at least 60 total credits to apply for an associate degree from the community college where they started. Receiving the degree could immediately enhance the student’s earning potential, even as he or she continues working toward a bachelor’s degree or other certification or credential at a State System university. “The State System universities and the community colleges are natural partners,” said State System Chancellor Frank T. Brogan. “This agreement is another example of how we can work together on behalf of students all across the See Transfer, Page 12 Money Continued from Page 1 ceived a counterfeit $10 bill sometime between 3 p.m. on March 24 and 5 p.m. on March 28. In similar fashion, police also reported investigating an incident at MJ’s Mini Mart in Kersey. Troopers say the business received a counterfeit $20 bill for payment sometime between March 23-28. Troopers are also investigating an incident that occurred between March 24-25 at the Last Chance Inn in Fox Township. Investigators said the establishment received three counterfeit $20 bills for payment. “The $20 bills are the most common because you’re getting the most bang for your buck so to speak,” Morris said. “With a $50 bill and a $100 bill, people are going to look at it a bit more so the $20 bills seem to be the way to go.” He said it seems to be too early in the investigations to comment on whether the counterfeit funds were generated locally and distributed or if they came from outside the area and were somehow passed into circulation. “I believe there were some bills that were passed in a transaction and there was at least one of them that was aware that that one bill was different than the rest that they had with them at the time,” Morris said. He said there are multiple indicators present on currency regarding its authenticity. “The actual currency is more of a cloth than a paper so it has a certain feel that we all recognize,” Morris said. “No matter what a counterfeiter does with it, even the best copy paper, the feel and texture and thickness is completely different. “What also usually happens is with the effort to have it real crisp, clean and neat, it’s just ridiculous and someone is going to look at that bill even harder. So they usually run it through a clothes dryer or do something that won’t damage the ink but at least give it a sign like it’s been worn and has time and use.” Where the counterfeit currency has been folded also serves as an indicator that the bill is fake. “You’ll also notice that anyplace where it’s folded, usually what happens is the fiber of the paper gets stretched, so it leaves a line or a blurred space and if it’s the portrait picture on the currency or any of the detailed marks, it sort of leaves a white line that you can detect even to the naked eye,” Morris said. “That’s just looking at it and feeling it with the naked eye. You can get into it where you look at it in the light and you see the watermark and the little ribbon that goes through it and the microprinting and I’m at the point in my life where I need reading glasses and I won’t see the microprinting even with them. I know they’re there because I can see it with a magnifying glass.” Morris cautions, however, that he does not feel it is time for retailers to use counterfeit security pens on currency they receive. The pen contains a tincture of iodine as ink which when drawn over a legitimate bill will remain amber or brown. The ink will turn black if the bill is counterfeit. Even with the security pen, however, counterfeiters are quickly finding ways to override this particular defense tactic. “I don’t think it’s necessary for businesses to use a security pen on all their bills, they just have to be cautious,” he said. “If they feel something different when dealing with the different denominations and realize something is different, that’s what they need to be looking for.” Morris noted that if one counterfeit bill is mixed in with a group of authentic bills, “you can usually tell right away.” “If you look at the $5 bill, $10 and $20, it has the color-changing in it too if you turn it sideways and so forth, and that can’t be duplicated with a photocopier,” he said. “What I’ve seen, they’re just printing the green and that’s it, but if you take a regular bill and turn it back and forth in your hand, you can see it change colors.” PSP Ridgway continues to investigate the incidents.

The House Health committee voted 16-10 for the proposal that would prohibit elective abortions after 20 weeks, compared to 24 in current law. It also would criminalize performing what it terms “dismemberment abortions,” or procedures that cause the deaths of fetuses by removing their body parts. Those procedures would still be allowed if needed to save the mother’s life or prevent her from suffering the impairment of a major bodily function. Rep. Jason Dawkins, D-Philadelphia, said he didn’t see how he belonged, as a legislator, in a conversation between a woman and her doctor about whether to have an abortion. He warned that making abortion more difficult could lead some women to seek out unsafe alternatives. “If we put certain restrictions on a woman’s choice, will they start looking for that other option?” Dawkins said. The proposed restrictions would address “a violent death for a baby that can, most likely, feel pain,” said Rep. Judy Ward, RBlair. “If that happened to animals, people would be outraged.” A spokesman for the House’s Republican majority said after the commit- See Bill, Page 12 DATE ADDED BARB & JACK OWNERS SAINT MARYS SHOWROOM 481 BRUSSELLS ST. OPEN DAILY 834-4415 6 The Daily Press Tuesday, April 5, 2016 www.smdailypress.com Phillies bullpen melts down in 8th, Reds rally for 6-2 win CINCINNATI (AP) — The Phillies’ bullpen was their biggest concern heading into the season. It melted down in the first game. Zack Cozart drove in the tying run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and Joey Votto followed with a bases-loaded single, sending the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-2 victory on Monday in an opener matching the majors’ two worst teams from last season. For the Phillies, it looked and felt so familiar. The Reds scored five times in the eighth against Philadelphia’s work-inprogress bullpen. Jay Bruce completed the rally with a two-run single in front of 43,683 fans, the largest regular-season crowd in Great American Ball Park history. “You need that eighth- and ninth-inning guy,” Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin said. “We’re searching right now to find the right formula, and the formula didn’t work today.” Both teams plunged into a major rebuilding job last season, when the Phillies had the worst record in the majors at 63-99 and the Reds were only one game better. Cincinnati’s late rally ruined Philadel- phia’s hopes of a pleasant start to the new season. David Hernandez (0-1) came on for the bottom of the eighth trying to hold a 2-1 lead, but failed to retire a batter, giving up Scott Schebler’s pinch-hit double and a pair of walks. Cozart’s fly ball to right tied it. “I felt I was loose and ready,” Hernandez said. “I just couldn’t throw the ball anywhere near the plate. Sparks senior cheer heading to Nationals The Sparks All Stars Senior Cheer Team will be competing at THE ONE Cheer and Dance Finals in the Poconos on April 16 and 17. THE ONE is a unique, end-of-season event offered to Cheer and Dance Teams. North America’s top Event Producer companies will award the top three placing teams only with exclusive bids to a choice of finals locations. Bid teams may choose to compete in any of the finals locations with the winning teams from divisions in each finals location advancing to THE ONE Virtual Finals where a panel of the industries top judging professionals will crown THE ONE in each division. Unlike any other end-ofseason event, bids to THE ONE are not handed out to thousands of teams. You have to be among the best in your division at participating bid events to qualify for THE ONE. The Sparks Senior Cheer Team competed at a bid qualifying event in Cleveland back in January. The Sparks seniors received a first place award at that competition giving them a partially paid bid to THE ONE. Some of the Sparks Cheer and Dance Teams in the past have been given a bid to other locations, but those were comparable to invitations only. The athlete still needed to pay the entire admission fee to compete in those championships. This is the first partially paid bid the Sparks All Stars have received. A partially paid bid means that the company who put on the competition in Cleveland is actually paying a portion of each athlete’s admission fee to attend THE ONE. It is a huge accomplishment and shows that determination and hardwork pays off. The Sparks Senior Cheer Team held a tag day recently at Walmart, Save-A-Lot and Peebles. They are very thankful to these establishments for allowing them to do this as well as to anyone who donated. The Sparks Senior Cheer Team has been working very hard to get ready to attend this event. The girls are very excited Schedule subject to change without notice.

Villanova tops Carolina 77-74 on Jenkins’ buzzer-beater HOUSTON (AP) — He shoots. He scores. And Villanova wins. Kris Jenkins spotted up and swished a 3-pointer at the buzzer Monday night to lift Villanova to the national title with a 77-74 victory over North Carolina — one of the wildest finishes in the history of the NCAA Tournament. Villanova worked the ball to Jenkins moments after Marcus Paige hit a double-clutch 3 with 4.3 seconds left to draw the Tar Heels even. It’s the first title for the Wildcats (35-5) since 1985, when Rollie Massimino coaxed them to a victory over star-studded Georgetown. This one might be even more memorable, considering ‘Nova squandered a six-point lead with 1:52 left, only to pull out the game at the end. Phil Booth led Villanova with 20 points. Jenkins finished with 14, Paige had 21 for the Heels (33-7) who came one shot short of giving coach Roy Williams his third national title. It’s a waste of a good start.” Votto fanned his first three at-bats against starter Jeremy Hellickson, but singled off left-hander James Russell for a 4-2 lead. Bruce singled against Hector Neris during the nine-batter rally. Ross Ohlendorf (1-0) got the win for fanning the only batter he faced. Freddy Galvis hit a two-run homer, and Hellickson allowed only three hits — all by Cozart — in six innings to keep the Phillies ahead until the eighth. Hellickson became only the ninth pitcher to fan Votto three times in a game, according to STATS. “You don’t give him the same pitch twice,” Hellickson said. “You mix it up as best you can.” Mackanin had Ryan Howard and Carlos Ruiz in the starting lineup, in part because of sentimental reasons. Ruiz is expected to back up Cameron Rupp at catcher. Howard’s error let in Cincinnati’s first run — he dropped Galvis’ throw from shortstop in the first inning. Nationals 4, Braves 3, 10 innings ATLANTA (AP) — Extra innings on the road left Dusty Baker exhausted but happy in his debut as Nationals manager. “It’s kind of like the game telling me, welcome back,” Baker said. Daniel Murphy, also making his Washington debut, was a huge hit with a home run and a go-ahead double in the 10th inning, and the Nationals rallied past the Atlanta Braves 4-3 in their season opener Monday. NL MVP Bryce Harper also homered in his first plate appearance of the season. Baker said players gave him the “victory ball” following a display of strong starting pitching, solid defense and just enough offense. “Obviously, what we did late in the game, that just speaks volumes,” said Max Scherzer, who allowed two runs and three hits in seven innings. “To tie the game in the ninth and then find a way to win it, that’s just great baseball.” Washington got even in the ninth on Michael Taylor’s sacrifice fly to shallow center field. Atlanta nearly escaped with a game-ending double play, but Jayson Werth scored when catcher A.J. Pierzynski dropped Ender Inciarte’s accurate throw that beat Werth to the plate. Murphy’s one-out double to left off Eric O’Flaherty (0-1) drove in Ryan Zimmerman from second base in the 10th. Zimmerman reached on a two-base throwing error by second baseman Gordon Beckham. Murphy also walked twice in his first game since leaving the rival Mets as a free agent and signing a $37.5 million, three-year contract with Washington. The 2015 NLCS MVP set a postseason record last year by hitting a home run in six consecutive playoff games. Freddie Freeman and Adonis Garcia homered against Scherzer. Blake Treinen (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for Washington. Jonathan Papelbon got three straight outs for the save. The Braves took a 3-2 lead in the eighth on Shawn Kelley’s bases-loaded walk to Garcia. Harper homered into the right-field seats off Julio Teheran in the first inning. Only 23, the slugger already has four career homers on opening day. He homered twice in the 2013 opener and also connected last year. Teheran allowed two runs on five hits and three walks in six innings. Baseball’s new “Chase Utley Rule” cost the Braves a baserunner after Nick Markakis walked in the seventh. On Hector Olivera’s grounder to third, Markakis slid wide of second base, upending Murphy, whose throw to first was late.

Former World Series MVP St. Marys Area Bowling Leagues Freese fitting in with Pirates PITTSBURGH (AP) — The fairy tale, the one where David Freese morphed from couchsleeping role player to World Series MVP for his hometown team, is over. Four-plus years removed from an unlikely run with St. Louis that brought the franchise its 12th championship, Freese finds himself trying to re-ignite his career in Pittsburgh. There the 33-year-old third baseman was on opening day, hitting third behind Andrew McCutchen and dinging Cardinals ace and good friend Adam Wainwright for a pair of hits while adding some typically responsible defense in a 4-1 victory. A month ago Freese was an out-of-work free agent in Florida waiting for the phone to ring. On Sunday he donned a No. 23 black-and-gold jersey and spent three hours trying to stop the guys in red-and-white with the familiar “Cardinals” scrawl across the front, several of whom he remains close to after spending nearly a decade with the organization he grew up idolizing. Yeah, it’s a little weird but then again, Freese isn’t complaining. The vibe he picked up the moment he walked into the Pirates clubhouse isn’t much different from the one he felt in St. Louis from 2009-13. “The structure in itself is huge,” Freese said. “From the top all the way down, there’s a plan, there’s a purpose. Everybody is there to help, to teach, not just wear a uniform.” And Freese is simply trying to fit in. He was randomly assigned No. 7 when he signed in the middle of spring training. When he realized the number belonged to former Pittsburgh manager Chuck Tanner, who led the “We Are Family” group to the 1979 World Series crown, he balked and asked for No. 23 instead. “I explained out of respect didn’t feel comfortable wearing Tanner’s old ST. MARYS Area High School number,” Freese said. It’s that kind of selflessness that made Freese such a hit in St. Louis. So did an epic postseason in 2011 when he hit .397 with five homers and a major league-record 21 RBIs in 18 games. He was an All-Star in 2012 before getting traded to the Angels in November 2013. He was steady if not spectacular with the Angels, who let him go over the winter after he hit a career-low .257 in 2015. Freese spent January working out in Florida with a group that included Wainwright. The Pirates, looking for help and an experienced infield bat, reached out, but the sides were “planets apart,” according to Hurdle. The gap narrowed over time and Freese signed a $3 million, one-year deal with a team that has shown an uncanny knack for turning reclamation projects into comeback stories, a plan whose graduates include A.J. Burnett, Russell Martin and Francisco Liriano among others. NOTICE - Bowling league results appear in The Daily Press on Tuesdays and Fridays.

ELK COUNTY CATHOLIC High School 208 Depot St., St. Marys 389-1874 Scott Shindledecker Daily Press guest columnist first day. Those counties include Adams, Berks, Bucks, Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Franklin, Juniata, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton, Perry, Philadelphia, Schuylkill and York. For my family and I, the first day has provided many memories as we fished the waters of Elk, Clearfield and Jefferson counties. We have always been into trying different places and that has kept it interesting over the years. For my brother Todd and I, one that still stands above the rest dates back nearly 40 years. I believe I was 10 and my brother 9. I know neither one of us was old enough to hunt, so the first days of trout and bass season meant the world to us. Both of our grandfathers were still alive and there was between six and 12 inches of snow still on the ground as we dunked our nightcrawlers into the waters of Little Anderson Creek in northwestern Clearfield County near Home Camp, just a little south of Parker Dam and Elliott state parks. Back then, Little Anderson was stocked with trout. Its waters created the DuBois Reservoir. In most places, two or three full steps would put you from one bank to the other, but its serpentine, meandering course and undercut banks created enough holes for trout to take refuge in. The temperatures were still in the 30s as we fished, but my brother managed to pull out a 14-inch brookie to take lunker honors that day. But I just barely outfished him, landing two brook trout. I don’t recall how the grandfathers did or our dad, but I know that neither of us will surpass their angling abilities. Despite the cold conditions, we weren’t ones to quit at lunch time, although it felt good to sit in the warmth of the car. We did however have a visit from our Mom and hers as they checked in on us, undoubtably concerned about the grandfathers, one 60, the other in his 70s. Another trout opener that stands out to me involved our first dog, Ginger, a mix of beagle and dachshund. This dog, as I believe I have mentioned before, loved to be outside and with us. Leaving her behind was not easy to do as those big, brown eyes pleaded to us to be allowed to join in on the adventure. So, we often took her. On this particular opener, the weather was pretty nice with the day quickly warming into the 50s. I believe Dad, Todd and I packed ourselves into one car while Mom and Ginger arrived separately and a little later in the morning. We were also fishing Anderson Creek, but below the lake this time. Here, the creek rushed over the dam and down a massive, concrete spillway. That created a large, deep pool of water where trout lived and teenagers swam in the summer. I don’t recall just how the fishing was, but the most memorable part was when Ginger got a little too daring for her own good. I was crouched down on the high-side bank, trying to lower my bait into a nice little pocket that fish love. The water undercut the bank with rhododendron and overhanging tree branches guarding it. But if you were willing to get down on your hands and knees and carefully thread your bait between the waiting snags, it was usually worth it. As I did this, Ginger was below me, still on the high bank, still sniffing around. After I extracted myself from the spot to try another, I stopped to pet her, then scrambled down the eroded bank. I stood in shallower water, tossing my bait upstream and letting it drift down through the hole. Ginger wasn’t too happy that I hadn’t helped her down the bank and she decided to do something about it. As I fished, she started down the steep bank. From the top to the water’s edge was about 8 feet. Where she started down was mostly dirt. She didn’t do a bad job of getting down, but as she got to the edge, she lost her balance and plunged, head-first into the hole I was working. Obviously, she was shocked, but I couldn’t stop laughing at her ambition and how it all turned out. She bobbed to the top and then swam downstream to me. I helped her get back up on the bank and she spent a few minutes shaking and shivering. Needless to say, Ginger had her fill of fishing that day! — Scott Shindledecker can be reached at [email protected].

When March is cold and snowy, as it usually is, it seems like the wait for the opening days of trout and spring gobbler are shorter. But with March being so mild, the days seem to be dragging by. Not that we have been stopped from enjoying the days when it climbs into the 60s, but there’s just something about the anticipation of a first day of a hunting or fishing season. But even that has changed. There are more and more chances to fish in the area before April 16. In addition to the special regulations waterways, all approved trout streams and lakes will be open Saturday, April 9 for those participating in the Mentored Youth Fishing Day. Youth anglers must obtain a Mentored Youth Fishing Permit or a Voluntary Youth Fishing License from the Commission and be accompanied by an adult licensed angler in order to participate. Youth may harvest up to two trout (combined species) with a minimum size of 7 inches. Anglers 16 years of age or older (adult anglers) must possess a valid Pa. fishing license and be accompanied by a youth (less than 16 years of age) who has obtained a Mentored Youth Fishing Permit or a Voluntary Youth Fishing License. While mentors will be permitted to fish for trout, they are not permitted to harvest trout and must release them unharmed. And for those who are willing to travel a bit, there are 18 counties in the Southeast part of there state where Saturday, April 2 was the Walk on the Wildside HAVE A GREAT SEASON!

Dear Annie: I always had an exaggerated response to alcohol and could never have just one drink. The first time I ever tried drinking was when I was 14 years old, and I got drunk. I wasn’t a heavy drinker right away, though. I would drink on weekends and otherwise led a “normal” life through my teens and 20s. However, when I was in my early 30s, I found myself in a high-pressure professional job, living alone in a big city. My life appeared to be great, but I was completely miserable. On weekends, I would start drinking at 4 p.m. and would continue until I passed out or fell asleep. I also started abusing pills and found that as long as I was passed out, I could avoid the pain that had become my life. Finally, I decided to end my life. Fortunately, my suicide attempt did not pan out and I went for help. I was sent to a state psychiatric facility for six months. While there, I finally admitted to myself that I had a problem with alcohol. For years, I thought that once I got my mental health issues straightened out, I could drink alcohol safely. But I learned that alcohol was also causing a lot of my problems. With the help of Alcoholics Anonymous, I got the support I needed and have been sober for 12 years. I am now happily married, have earned a second college degree and have a career I love. I hope others who have a problem with alcohol will realize that they can’t wait for their other problems to go away. They need to stop drinking as a first step. -Sarah B. Dear Sarah: Thank you for sharing your story. April 7 is National Alcohol Awareness Day. It’s also a good reminder that any of our readers who worry that they or their loved ones have a problem with alcohol can take a completely free and anonymous screening at HowDoYouScore.org. Dear Annie: You missed the boat on your response to “Confused by Wife,” who said his wife thinks she’s ugly, refuses to stop drinking or smoking, and won’t go anywhere. Worse, she wants him to stay there with her. He says he is in good shape, but she wants him to go bald, give up exercise and snack on junk food so he would know how she feels. He’s such a typical male. Everything is about him and his looks. Annie, this woman is severely depressed or she has some kind of medical condition. She has withdrawn from life. It common for depressed people to expect others to behave the same way so they can “see how it feels.” They can’t always figure out what’s wrong with them, and they’re tired of being misunderstood. Other indications are her lack of energy and not caring about her health. The first step is for her to have a complete physical, and then she should seek out a mental health professional. With the right medication, assistance and support, she can start participating in life again. -- Sarasota, Florida Dear Sarasota: You could be right that the wife is depressed or has a medical issue and should speak to her doctor. But she must be willing to make the effort, which she is not. Our advice was for the husband. But we will add that if he can convince his wife to see her doctor, it could help.

Therefore, when talking to parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs, remember the power of courtesy. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You want to research something deeply today. In other words, you want to get to the bottom of something. Well, you will succeed. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Discussions with a friend or perhaps someone who is a member of a group might come to a head today, especially concerning how to deal with shared property or how to spend an allotted amount of money. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be careful when talking to bosses, parents and VIPs today, as well as partners and close friends, because power struggles are par for the course. Don’t get suckered into something that’s just not worth it. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Avoid controversial subjects like religion, politics and racial issues today, because they will disintegrate quickly into arguments. People are opinionated and unwilling to listen. Yikes! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Squabbles about inheritances, shared property and debt might arise today, which is why this is not a good day to discuss those subjects. Whatever happens, you will stand your ground. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Arguments upset your peace of mind. You know this. You need harmony in your surroundings. Therefore, avoid heated discussions with partners and close friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Machinery and heavy equipment might break down on the job today. In addition, discussions with others also might break down. (It’s one of those days.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Be patient when dealing with children today, even if they have hissy fits and meltdowns. (Lots of people feel this way today.) Patience is your best friend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Family discussions might be difficult today if people insist on getting their own way. Step back and give things some breathing space. By tomorrow, a solution might be obvious. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Don’t come on too strong with others today, because you will blow them away! Remember: If you really want people to listen to you, whisper. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Quarrels about property and money are likely today. Don’t get involved, because by the end of the week, things will work out nicely. YOU BORN TODAY You are an innovator. You love to experiment with new ideas, which is why many of you have a scientific mind. You are open about trying new things and always looking for the best way to do something. You will love this year, because it is the beginning of a fresh, new nine-year cycle for you. Open any door! Your future is in your hands.

(c) 2016 King Features Syndicate, Inc. 11 www.smdailypress.com The Daily Press Tuesday, April 5, 2016 BCAT graduates 22 students at ceremony BROCKWAY – Opportunity. That was the theme at the third graduating class at the Brockway Center for Arts and Technology recently as 22 students received certifications as medical assistants and pharmacy technicians. BCAT is a unique collaboration between Pittsburgh-based Mancheste-Bidwell and its founder, Bill Strickland, state Sen. Joe Scarnati and Brockway businessman Peter Varischetti. M a n c h e s t e r- B i d w e l l ’s model offers adult job training and education opportunities for youths. The Brockway center was the first foray into a rural setting. It is situated in a portion of the former Brockway Glass Main Office headquarters building. The training that culminated in Wednesday’s graduation is a nine-month course of instruction offered tuitionfree to the students and including two national certification examinations. “BCAT is growing,” Varischetti said. “We hit a home run and the ball is still sailing.” “This is truly a model for education, across the state and the nation,” Scarnati said. Addressing the graduates, he said, “You took the initiative; that is what separates those who succeed from those who don’t. Initiative and courage will carry you a long way.” Brittanei Neubert of Ridgway, co-valedictorian in the medical assistant class, said, “I am ready to face anything that is thrown my way. Bring it on.” Co-valedictorian Courtney Walker of Penfield said, “I will always cherish” the experience at BCAT, adding that all 22 graduates passed their national certification exams. Ashley McAninch of Brookville, pharmacy technician valedictorian, said, “I can’t help feel that this is just a dream” and thanked Scarnati, Varischetti and the Varischetti family for “making this dream a reality.” BCAT Executive Director Deborah Heigel said she is “extremely proud” of the class, noting that “They’ve worked very hard. We’ve worked together. We’ve worked diligently. “Always remember that you were here,” she said. “Appreciate your skills; share them. What you are going to do is important.” Individual members of the classes were presented by Deborah Grunthaner, director of MA, and Dr. Joseph Spencer, Pharmacy Tech instructor. The BCAT staff also includes Nicole Snyder, Kristine Gasbarre, Shelley Hanes, Dr. Gary McGee and Dr. David Parrott. The BCAT board of directors includes Peter Varischetti, president; Dan Hawkins, vice president; Sue Snelick, secretary; John Sutika, treasurer, and John Blasdell, Duane Vicini, William E. Strickland Jr. and Ray Calhoun. Megan Hoy sang the national anthem and Renee Tuning provided instrumental selections, the processional and the recessional. Medical assistant graduates include Maureen Amacher of Ridgway, Kayla Bailey of Brockway, Christi Fleeger of DuBois, Megan Hoy of St. Marys, Hannah Johnson of St. Marys, Tiffany Knap of Brookville, Brittanei Neubert of Ridgway, Violet Richards of Curwensville, Miranda Tapper of Reynoldsville, Diane Thomas of Clearfield, Amber Vrobel of Punxsutawney, Courtney Walker of Penfield and Christina Wingard of Falls Creek. Pharmacy Technician graduates include Juhaina Al-Tikrity of Karthaus, Tracy Bundy of Falls Creek, Stephanie Kingsbury of Falls Creek, Ashley McAninch of Brookville, Briana Salada of DuBois, Paul Schmidt of Punxsutawney, Karen Wachob of Brockport, Julie Whaling of Falls Creek and Breannna Wiggin of Brockway. Many of the sidewalks in the city are in bad condition, particularly those which were in poor repair before winter set in. Some of them are in such shape that it is dangerous to walk over them. Council is determined that sidewalks must be kept in good condition, and with that end in view will compel owners of properties to make necessary repairs and build new walks where they are needed within a reasonable time or the city will be forced to do the work and charge it up to the property owners. The Mohan Run crossing, where the Pennsylvania Railroad crosses the state road between St. Marys and Ridgway will not be so dangerous when workmen finish the placing of warning bells and a stop signal at that point. A force of five men have been employed for several days and the result will be that signal bells will warn automobilists. A warning arm with, “Don’t Cross – Train Coming,” is inscribed will drop down at the approach of a train. This crossing is a dangerous one and the P.R.R. is cooperating to the fullest extent to prevent any accidents. Reports have reached this office that wife beaters are again at work in different sections of the town. If these reports are true, we advise that the guilty parties, who favor this no doubt, as a national sport, get together and apply to the Governor for a charter, and then they may organize and elect officers. Another suggestion offered is that of getting up a petition and presenting it to council, for a whipping post, which could be placed on the Diamond and here these scoundrels could be given a dose of their own medicine. Saturday, April 8, 1916 After holding out a very fair promise of spring, the weatherman put one over on us this morning by providing a regular man-sized flare back in the shape of a snowstorm. This is probably the storm that Dr. Hicks had arranged for, to appear on the 28th of March. It either was sidetracked or else the doctor got his dates mixed. At any rate, it is here today and will undo to a large extent what the warm rays of the sun in the past few days had brought about. Photo submitted State Sen. President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati addresses medical assistant and pharmacy technician graduates Wednesday at Brockway Center for Arts and Technology. Cents Continued from Page 2 stances he has begun operations. In milder sections of the state than we can boast some gardens have been made by this time; our people will not long delay. In fact those who are not at it already are looking longing in the direction of the prospective garden beds and are eager to become engaged in the very interesting and useful business of assisting Mother Earth to bring forth food for the eater. Some of us have done nothing by way of gardening for an ordinary lifetime, except by proxy. A writer who last year enjoyed the successive harvests of such a garden and not having had a similar experience for 40 years previously, was surprised as well as delighted at the superiority of the products of the home garden to the other sort. Long deprivation had only sharpened his palate and now he wonders why it is that every man does not manage in some way to have his own garden. It is a delightful and toothsome experiment, one every householder should undertake if it is at all possible. On the whole, the month of April, in spite of its fickleness – perhaps because of it – is one of the year’s most enjoyable and delightful seasons. Perhaps it is the touch of feminine fickleness, the disposition to exhibit many moods on a single day, or even in a single hour, that makes it so interesting to the average man. For it is the feminine element in life that chiefly attracts the really masculine spirit. April, then, is preeminently a man’s month. Thursday, April 6, 1916 The pocketbook advertised for in the Daily Press Lost column yesterday, which contained $18.58, was found yesterday by Lewis Entres, and the same was returned to this office and today turned over to the loser. This is another proof that classified ads in the Daily Press bring results. Before a large crowd at the Gymnasium Hall last evening the St. Marys basketball team won the championship of Elk County by defeating Ridgway by the score of 56-33. The score at the finish of the first half was 38 to 8 in favor of the locals. Ridgway and Johnsonburg have a game to play but this will not change the standing of the locals who have won three and lost one, while Ridgway and Johnsonburg each won one and last two. These two teams will fight it out for second place. Friday, April 7, 1916 GREAT CARS! GREAT PEOPLE! $ Down Payment! 0 Security Deposit!

Community Nurses offer personal, household supplies for shut-ins Local food banks do an amazing service for people in our community who might otherwise go without proper nourishment. The Community Nurses have a similar program to provide personal care and household cleaning items. The nurses take donations, which are stored in the Home Support Office, located on Arch Street in St. Marys. Products are available to anyone in need, not just the Community Nurses’ patients or clients. McKayla Wilson, a sophomore at Elk County Catholic, recently collected seven large baskets of supplies to donate. This project was done as part of ECC’s “Pay It Forward” initiative. Anyone else who may be interested in donating or volunteering to organize and distribute supplies may contact Tena Emmert, Home Support Services Business Office Supervisor, at (814) 7811415 or (800) 841-9397.

Transfer Continued from Page 5 commonwealth. It’s a winwin for everyone.” “Collaborating with the State System on this agreement is the next step in the commitment of Pennsylvania’s community colleges to increase student completion rates to benefit both students individually and the commonwealth as a whole,” said Luzerne County Community College President Thomas P. Leary, who also serves as chair of the Pennsylvania Commission for Community Colleges. A student who earns an associate degree is more likely to complete the work necessary to receive a bachelor’s degree. “If their studies toward a bachelor’s degree are interrupted for any reason, with this program, they will still have their associate degree, which will benefit them as they prepare to enter the workforce or will help enable them to move up the career ladder,” said Elizabeth Bolden, president and CEO of the Pennsylvania Commission for Community Colleges. Many students who initially enroll at a community college do so with the intent of eventually earning a bachelor’s degree, staying long enough to earn an associate degree before transferring to a four-year college or university. Some leave before earning a degree, either to transfer or to go directly into the workforce. The reverse transfer program gives those who transferred without a credential a pathway to their Lottery Numbers The following winning numbers were drawn on Monday in the Pennsylvania Lottery: DAY Pick 2 7-7 Pick 3 6-4-6 Pick 4 7-9-5-5 Pick 5 4-8-5-8-3 Treasure Hunt 04-06-12-13-21 EVENING Pick 2 6-0 Pick 3 8-6-4 Pick 4 9-0-0-3 Pick 5 2-0-7-7-7 Cash 5 03-07-11-14-35 Match 6 07-23-24-42-44-46 Cash 4 Life 05-26-32-36-58 CB: 04 first college degree. “Several State System universities already have reverse transfer agreements in place with their neighboring community college. This new agreement expands the program statewide, making it available to many more students across Pennsylvania,” said Millersville University of Pennsylvania President John Anderson. Students who began their postsecondary education at any community college in Pennsylvania and earned a minimum of 45 credits before transferring to any State System university can participate in the new program. Eligible credits may include those earned through Prior Learning Assessment, Advanced Placement, College Level Examination Program, Credit by Exam and the military. A student must have enrolled at a State System university within five years of leaving the community college and have earned at least 15 additional credits at a State System university to be considered for the program. Their State System credits will be transferred back to the community college and applied to the requirements for the associate degree. The State System universities will identify eligible students once they complete the 60 total credits and invite them to participate in the reverse transfer program. If interested, the eligible students will fill out a release form and their State System university transcript will be sent to the community college for review and evaluation. If approved, the community college will award the degree. Students will not be charged either a graduation or transcript fee by either institution involved. The first degrees could be awarded through the program as early as this summer. Many students likely already are eligible. Others could be once the current semester ends in May. “The reverse transfer agreement is particularly helpful for students called to military service,” said Jessica Shingara, a business management major at Millersville University and former student at Harrisburg Area Community College who spent five years in the U.S. Navy, where she was stationed aboard the USS John Paul Jones. “Having long breaks from school can add stress to an already stressful situation, and having this program promotes an easy transition from serving to studying.” Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education is the largest provider of undergraduate and graduate education in the commonwealth, with about 107,000 degree-seeking students and thousands more who are enrolled in certificate and other careerdevelopment programs. Collectively, the 14 universities that comprise the State System offer more than 2,300 degree and certificate programs in more than 530 academic areas. Nearly 520,000 State System university alumni live in Pennsylvania. Funeral Services SPENCER – Funeral services for Neal D.

The engineer applied the emergency brakes five seconds before impact, the National Transportation Safety Board said late Monday. No one on board was killed, although more than 30 passengers were injured. Videos showed construction equipment on the track and a contractor’s equipment on an adjacent track before the crash Sunday morning, NTSB investigator Ryan Frigo said. He could not comment on who was authorized to be there, but said work crews were scheduled to be interviewed on Tuesday “There is a large amount of data to be looked at,” Frigo added. The Delaware County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victims as backhoe operator Joseph Carter Jr., 61, of Wilmington, Delaware, and Peter Adamovich, 59, of Lincoln University, Pennsylvania. They died of blunt force trauma. Amtrak trains on the Northeast Corridor resumed regular service on Monday. The train was heading from New York to Savannah, Georgia, at about 8 a.m. Sunday when it hit a piece of equipment in Chester, about 15 miles outside of Philadelphia. The impact derailed the lead engine of the train, which was carrying more than 300 passengers and seven crew members. sent to him. “This bill is unconstitutional because it changes from 24 weeks to 20 weeks the time for an abortion,” Wolf spokesman Jeff Sheridan said. “The U.S. Supreme Court has held that a state does not have an interest in regulating the unborn prior to 24 weeks so a state cannot regulate abortions prior to 24 weeks.” Republicans defeated a bid to delay the committee vote for public hearings. Two Democrats sided with all 14 Republicans voting “yes” on the bill. The bill has attracted 101 co-sponsors, including at least 11 Democrats, in the 203-seat House.

The president of the Pennsylvania Medical Society wrote lawmakers on Monday to say it was opposed to the bill on grounds that it “sets a dangerous precedent by legislating specific protocols.” The bill is being proposed just as Pennsylvania is braced for several weeks of campaigning ahead of the April 26 primary, including active contests for the two major party presidential nominations.
