Truck crashes through radio station office
By Amy Cherry
Staff Writer
RIDGWAY TWP. – A precarious scene unfolded Monday
morning at The Hound radio station in Ridgway Township as a
tri-axle truck crashed through a
front portion of the building.
Fortunately, no one was injured in the accident.
The Ridgway-based Pennsylvania State Police responded to
the scene at 9:15 a.m. along state
Route 219 (Boot Jack Road) in
Ridgway Township.
According to police, the incident occurred as Lloyd E. Hollars,
51, of Bellefonte, was operating a
1997 International Harvester triaxle truck traveling south on SR
219.
At the same time, a 2008 International Harvester tri-axle
truck was slowing for a vehicle
turning left. Hollars did not observe the second truck slowing
and attempted to avoid it which
resulted in him striking the trailer of the second truck then veering left.
Hollars then observed a vehicle traveling north and in an
attempt to avoid that vehicle,
steered further to the left.
Hollars’
truck
traveled
through the front yard of the
radio station crashing through
landscaping and a plastic fence
before hitting the building.
The truck came to rest after
impact with the radio station and
becoming lodged under the building’s roof. The truck’s tracks are
evident on the front lawn of the
building showing where it veered
off of the road.

Fox Twp. bus stop
incident ruled a
misunderstanding
FOX TWP. – The Pennsylvania State Police have determined
an incident at a Fox Township
bus stop on Monday morning was
a misunderstanding.
Parents of St. Marys Area
School District students received
a notification on Monday around
11 a.m. stating a male stranger
approached a student offering a
ride to school.
The student was waiting at
a bus stop near 454 Main St. in
Kersey.
The stranger was reported
to have been driving a light grey
or silver extended cab, possibly
a Dodge pickup truck with dark
tinted windows.
At the time of the notification,
the district reported all students
were safe and that troopers with
PSP Ridgway were investigating
the incident.
“Though a misunderstanding,
this incident presents an opportunity to discuss safety measures

RIDGWAY – Three dirt and
gravel road projects were approved for funding by the Elk
County Conservation District’s
board of directors during Monday’s meeting.
The three projects include
one project in Benezette Township and two projects in Jay
Township; in 2015, the conservation district has funded four dirt
and gravel road or low volume
road projects.
In Benezette Township, a
funding application was submitted for assistance along Grant
Road. In heavy rains, Grant Road
is getting washed out, which requires the township to place new
materials on the road, which end
up getting washed into a nearby
stream.
The Benezette Township
project comes with a total project
cost of $63,000.
The two projects in Jay Township are for repairs along Spring
Run Road.

DCC takes 1st place in BEST Robotics Competition
DuBOIS – For the
second year in a row,
DuBois Central Catholic (DCC) has taken first
place in the BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science
and Technology) Robotics
Competition held Saturday in the campus gymnasium at Penn State
DuBois. Rounding out the
top three schools were DuBois Area in Second Place,
and the Wider School in
Third Place. Taking the
top spot in BEST means
the team’s performance
in robotics, their engineering design notebook,
marketing plan and other
areas of the competition
were all tallied and combined for a total score. All
three of these schools will
also advance to the Northern Plains BEST Regional
Championships to be held
Dec. 3-5 at North Dakota
State University.
BEST is a national
robotics competition for
middle and high school
students. The BEST organization provides all
necessary
parts
and
equipment for teams to
build a robot that they
can use to run a course
and perform specified
tasks. The theme of this
year’s BEST was titled
Pay Dirt, and based on
deep mining techniques
and the design, construction, and operation of the
machines utilized in mining. The robots had to be
built within a six-week
time frame. During the
contest, all teams ran
the course, competing for
the best times and course
completion. Through participation in this projectbased program, students
learn to analyze and solve
problems utilizing the Engineering Design Process,
which helps them develop technological literacy
skills. The goal is to better
prepare these students
for further education and
careers in STEM fields,
(Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).
“This is awesome,
winning two years in a
row,” said DuBois Central
Catholic student Pedar
Garred. “We just tried to
stay dedicated the whole
year.”
DCC’s team mentor
Ruth Pifer said, “It’s the
kids. They work so hard
and never give up. They
just kept believing the
whole time. I’m so proud
of them. They dig deep
when they need to and inspire each other.”
Awards were also
given for performance in
other specific areas, such
as in the robotics competition only. For their performance on the robotics
game field, DuBois Area
took first place, Ridgway Area claimed second
place, DCC took third
place, and Redbank Valley
came in at fourth place.
Teams also compete
and receive awards for
other areas of the project,
which include marketing,
exhibition,
sportsmanship, and team spirit. In
addition to taking first
place in the overall BEST
Competition, DCC also
claimed the Marketing
Award, the Team Spirit
Award, and the Best Team
Exhibit Award. DuBois
Area won the Best Engineering Design Notebook
Award.
Other awards included the Best Team T-Shirt,
given to DuBois Area; The
Best Team Flag, awarded
to DuBois Central Catholic; the Founders Award,
earned by DuBois Area,
Most Robust Robot, to DuBois Area, and Best Software Design, taken by
DuBois Central Catholic.

Races for 2 mid-level appellate courts also on Nov. 3 ballot
HARRISBURG
(AP)
— A pair of statewide contests for intermediate-level
appellate courts will be decided in the Nov. 3 election
alongside the three open
seats on the state Supreme
Court that have garnered
the most spotlight.
Two county judges are
vying for an open seat on the
state Superior Court: Democrat Alice Beck Dubow and
Republican Emil Giordano.
Two lawyers are competing
for an opening on the state
Commonwealth
Court:
Democrat Michael Wojcik
and Republican Paul Lalley.
The 15-member Superior Court, the state’s
general appellate court,
handles criminal and most
civil appeals from the county courts. The nine-member Commonwealth Court
processes civil cases filed
against or by the state government and appeals from
county courts in cases involving state or local agencies.
All four candidates received “recommended” ratings from a state bar panel
that evaluated them before
the May primary.
The
Commonwealth
Court seat is being vacated
by President Judge Dan
Pellegrini, who reaches the
mandatory retirement age
of 70 this year. The Superior
Court seat is being filled on
an interim basis by Judge
Patricia Jenkins, whose appointment expires this year.
The election winners
will serve 10-year terms
and receive a salary now at
$191,926 a year.
Sketches of the candidates are below.
___
SUPERIOR COURT
ALICE BECK DUBOW
Dubow
became
a
Philadelphia judge after a
23-year legal career that
included stints in private
practice, city government
and academia.
A Democrat whose
mother was the first woman
elected to Superior Court,
Dubow was appointed to
the Philadelphia bench by
Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell
in July 2007 and elected to a
full term four months later.
Dubow, 56, worked in
private practice after graduating from the University of
Pennsylvania Law School.
She subsequently worked
for the Philadelphia city
solicitor’s office, handling
commercial litigation and
tax matters, and served as
deputy general counsel at
Drexel University.
In the May primary,
Dubow defeated a county
judge who self-financed his
campaign to protest the
growing role of outside political contributions while
she raised enough money
to put up early TV spots.
By Oct. 19, she had taken
in more than $550,000, far
more than the other midlevel appellate court candidates.

At 2:29 p.m., a Ridgway
Borough police officer
with lights flashing became the first northbound vehicle to cross
the new bridge. Some
drivers, still unsure of
the opening, continued
to turn down the Osterhout detour even after
the signs were removed.

Giordano, who is serving his second 10-year term
as a Northampton County
judge, also serves as the
administrative judge of the
county orphans’ court.
He had been nominated
for the Northampton bench
in 2002 by Republican Gov.
Mark Schweiker but failed
to win Senate confirmation.
He was elected the following
year.
Giordano, who was
unopposed in the primary,
raised nearly $250,000 for
his campaign.

COMMONWEALTH
COURT
MICHAEL WOJCIK
Wojcik has struggled to
raise money in his campaign
for Commonwealth Court,
but Democrats in the May
primary picked him over the
party-endorsed candidate.
The Pittsburgh lawyer,
51, has been a litigator for
26 years, working for law
firms of varying size and local governments on a wide
range of legal issues.
He received his law degree from the University of
Pittsburgh Law School. In
addition to working for private law firms, Wojcik spent
eight years as Allegheny
County solicitor, and he is
solicitor for the Allegheny
County Airport Authority.
In the primary, Wojcik
beat labor lawyer Todd Eagen, the grandson of a former state Supreme Court
justice. But Wojcik had
raised $191,000 through
Oct. 19, the least of the four
mid-level appellate candidates competing in the general election.

UN agency links hot dogs and other processed meat to cancer
salami is as bad as cigarettes, only that there’s a
confirmed link to cancer.
And even then, the risk is
small.
The results aren’t
that shocking in the U.S.,
where many parents fret
over chemicals in cured
meats and the American
Cancer Society has long
cautioned against eating
too much steak and deli.
But the U.N. agency’s
findings could shake up
public health attitudes
elsewhere, such as European countries where
sausages are savored and
smoked ham is a national
delicacy.
And they could hurt
the American meat industry, which is arguing vigorously against linking their
products with cancer, contending that the disease
involves a number of lifestyle and environmental
factors.
While U.S. rates of colon cancer have been declining, it is the No. 2 can-
By Angela Charlton
Associated Press
PARIS (AP) — Bacon,
hot dogs and cold cuts
are under fire: The World
Health
Organization
threw its global weight
behind years of experts’
warnings and declared
Monday that processed
meats raise the risk of colon and stomach cancer
and that red meat is probably harmful, too.
Meat producers are
angry, vegetarians are feeling vindicated, and cancer
experts are welcoming the
most comprehensive pronouncement yet on the
relation between our modern meat-eating lifestyles
and cancer.
The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon,
France, analyzed decades
of research and for the
first time put processed
meats in the same danger
category as smoking or asbestos. That doesn’t mean
cer for women worldwide
and No. 3 for men, according to the WHO.
A group of 22 scientists from the IARC
evaluated more than 800
studies from several continents about meat and cancer. The studies looked at
more than a dozen types of
cancer in populations with
diverse diets over the past
20 years.
Based on that analysis, the IARC classified
processed meat as “carcinogenic to humans,” noting links in particular to
colon cancer. It said red
meat contains some important nutrients, but still
labeled it “probably carcinogenic,” with links to colon, prostate and pancreatic cancers.
The agency made no
specific dietary recommendations and said it did not
have enough data to define how much processed
meat is too dangerous. But
it said the risk rises with
the amount consumed.
An analysis of 10 of
the studies suggested that
a 50-gram portion of processed meat daily — or
about 1.75 ounces — increases the risk of colorectal cancer over a lifetime
by about 18 percent.
An ounce and threequarters is roughly equivalent to a hot dog or a few
slices of bologna, though it
depends on how thinly it is
sliced.
Overall, the lifetime
risk of developing colorectal cancer in the U.S. is
about 1 in 20, or 5 percent,
according to the cancer society. By the WHO’s calculations, having a cold-cut
sandwich every day would
only raise that to around 6
percent.
Experts have long
warned of the dangers of
certain chemicals used to
cure meat, such as nitrites
and nitrates, which the
body converts into cancercausing compounds. It is
also known that grilling or
smoking meat can create
Truck
At the time of the incident, station manager
Barry Morgan was in the
back of the building along
with another employee
who was in a nearby conference room.
“We felt a strong
whoosh of air coming
through the building,”
Morgan said.
About 20 seconds later, Morgan was contacted
on the intercom by Kiersten Amacher, office manager, who was working in
the main business office
located in the front of the
building informing him a
truck had burst through
the office.
After informing Morgan that she was uninjured, Amacher began
moving bricks which had
collapsed on the inside
front wall of the office
blocking the doorway preventing her from escaping.
Windows were also
broken out due to the collision which affected the
front one-third of the
building.
An insurance adjuster
arrived at the scene Monday afternoon to determine the cost and degree
of damage. They have also
contacted a structural engineer to assess the condi-
tion of the building.
“I haven’t seen anything like this before. It’s
a dangerous spot though
because everyone flies
on this part of the road,”
Morgan said.
According to Morgan,
this is the first time he recalls any incident like this
happening since he began
working at the station in
2007.
PSP were assisted
at the scene by Ridgway
Ambulance, Ridgway Fire
Department, fire police
and EMTs.
The truck was towed
from the scene by D & T
Towing.
Hollars was cited in
District Court 59-3-02 for
failure to drive a vehicle
at a safe speed.
“We’re glad everybody’s OK over there,”
said Daily Press Publish-
er Harlan Beagley. “As a
fellow local media outlet,
our thoughts and prayers
are certainly with them.”
Laurel Media is based
out of Ridgway Township
and operates The Hound

Overall, the Jay Township projects were approved for funding of approximately $18,700 and

provision never used in

In a brief floor proceeding, the Senate unanimously approved the
committee’s formation to

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
With government support so severely cut these past
few years, the Christian Food Bank has truly become a
community "work of mercy." Each week, an average of
130 boxes are distributed to help feed needy families -some indefinitely, many until they get back on their feet.
Over 100 dedicated volunteers work tirelessly and happily, many every week, to make this happen. A member
of our local clergy is available every Thursday to offer
support to everyone present. The Daily Press is key to
all communication.
Over the years, you have been especially generous
during the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter seasons. However, at a recent board meeting, members
were so inspired by the many reports of generosity that
transpired this past summer, that we felt they should be
shared with you.
Groups planted, harvested, cleaned and sorted over
900 pounds of potatoes for distribution. Other individuals and groups did the same with fresh corn, cucumbers,
zucchini, and tomatoes. Two pigs were purchased by a
donor at a county fair auction, then processed and packaged to donate for distribution -- a welcome treat. These
are just some of the stories.
There are so many people, either directly or indirectly, who support the food bank. They offer products and/
or services either free or next to it.
Though we do not publish these many acts of kindness for fear of omitting someone’s name, the generosity
continues.
We live in a truly big-hearted community. Sometimes
we need to recognize and be reminded, as hopefully was
done here, of the good deeds that are so commonplace in
our community.
Thank you all and may God bless each of you.

why she'll use her gender

Red Cross encourages blood
donations before holidays
ERIE – The American
Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood
before the holiday season
is in full swing.
Blood donations often
decline from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day
when holiday festivities
pull people away from
their donation appointments. This often causes
a drop in the blood available for patients. Donations are needed in the
weeks leading up to the
holidays to help offset
this seasonal decline.
Blood donor Kathy
Steckly Neuschwander’s
father gave blood for
years. She always saw
him wear his pin when
he reached his next gallon – about 12 gallons
total. When he was diagnosed with leukemia, she
and her family learned
firsthand how important
blood donations could be
around the holidays.
“He passed away in
1994 from leukemia and
needed a blood transfusion so we could have
one more Thanksgiving
together,” she said. “My
brother and sister were
able to come home from
the East Coast for this. I
can now say I am wearing
his three-gallon pin.”
Donors with all blood
types are needed, and especially those with types
O negative, B negative,
A negative and AB blood.
To make an appointment
to donate blood, download the free Red Cross
Blood Donor App from
app stores, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-7332767). Donors can now

and view vital signs from
previous donations.

blood types are needed
to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood

of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years
of age (16 with parental
consent in some states),
weigh at least 110 pounds
and are in generally good
health may be eligible to

students and other donors 18 years of age and
younger also have to meet
certain height and weight
requirements.

Meat
recommended limiting red
and processed meat intake
since 2002, and suggests
choosing fish or poultry or
cooking red meat at low
temperatures.
The North American
Meat Institute argued in
a statement that “cancer
is a complex disease not
caused by single foods.”
Independent experts
stressed that the WHO
findings should be kept in
perspective.
“Three cigarettes per
day increases the risk of
lung cancer sixfold,” or 500
percent, compared with
the 18 percent from eating
a couple slices of bologna a
day, said Gunter Kuhnle, a
food nutrition scientist at
the University of Reading.
“This is still very relevant from a public health
point of view, as there are
more than 30,000 new cases per year” of colon cancer, he said. “But it should
not be used for scaremongering.”
Senate
man has said the Senate’s
action is premature and
legally questionable. Despite calls from Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf for her to
resign, she remains in office and has said she will
continue to perform most
of her official duties.
Should the committee
decide that Kane cannot
fulfill the office’s duties,
it could recommend the
use of the constitutional
provision that allows the
governor and two-thirds
of the Senate to remove
certain public officials.
Scarnati, of Jefferson, and Senate Minority
Leader Jay Costa, D-Allegheny, each appointed
three committee members, with Scarnati attached as an ex-officio
member.
The members are
Gordner and fellow Republicans Gene Yaw, of
Lycoming County, and
Lisa Baker, of Luzerne
County, and Democrats
Art Haywood, of Philadel-
phia, Judy Schwank, of
Berks County, and Sean
Wiley, of Erie County.
Documents provided
Monday to the members
included the removal provision in the constitution,
the 1980 law creating the
position of an elected attorney general and the
rules of professional conduct for lawyers.
At least one committee member, Schwank,
has already called for
Kane to step down.
“Fighting these charges will be a major distraction — not only for Attorney General Kane but for
her entire staff,” Schwank
said, according to an Aug.
7 report by the Reading
Eagle.
Costa
defended
Schwank, saying she’s
not predisposed to a decision. Schwank’s statement, Costa said, did not
amount to a strong opinion that Kane should resign but rather was an
expression of concern.

Robber flees when elderly
woman yells, ‘There’s the police’
P U N X S U TAW N E Y
(AP) — Authorities say
an elderly woman being
robbed in a Pennsylvania parking lot shouted, “There’s the police!”
and the spooked suspect
dropped his gun and ran
away.
Punxsutawney police
Chief James Borza says
police are still searching for the robber, who
approached the woman
Friday morning outside
the Uni-Mart store in the
Punxy Plaza.
Borza says the man
got nervous when the
woman yelled. He dropped
the gun, and she kicked
it underneath a vehicle.
The panicked suspect ran
away.
Police say the weapon
looked like a real pistol but
fired only BBs.
Police are hoping someone who witnessed the attempted robbery might be
able to identify the man.
Punxsutawney
is
about 70 miles northeast
of Pittsburgh.

Stopping new Mr. October: Royals face ‘comfortable’ Murphy
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)
— Daniel Murphy took a meaty
cut, then motioned to the batting practice pitcher to throw
one a bit outside.
“Please,” the New York Mets
bopper added, politely.
Murphy promptly lined
the next toss Monday into the
right-field corner at Kauffman
Stadium.
That’s how easy he’s making it look in real games, too.
So far, Murphy has invited
many of baseball’s top aces to
his October bash — Clayton
Kershaw, Zack Greinke and
Jake Arrieta among them.
Now, the Kansas City Royals hope to spoil his playoff
party.
Murphy has homered in a
record six straight postseason
games. He’ll take aim at Edinson Volquez and the Royals
starting Tuesday night in the
World Series opener.
Murphy hit a career-best 14
home runs during the regular
season, then launched seven
more in the first two rounds
against the Dodgers and Cubs.
He is one from matching the
mark for most homers in a single postseason, shared by Barry
Bonds, Carlos Beltran and Nelson Cruz.
“Superman? Oh, no, no,” he
said before the workout. “Just a
second baseman who’s trying to
get a good pitch to hit.”
To Royals pitching coach
Dave Eiland, that’s the crux of
Murphy’s sudden power surge.
“He’s getting a lot of good
pitches to hit, and he isn’t missing them,” Eiland said. “He’s
right on them.”
Eiland has noticed something else.
“He looks very comfortable
in the batter’s box — and I’ll
leave it at that,” Eiland said.
Hmmm.
Told about Eiland’s comment, Royals pitcher Kris
Medlen chuckled.
“Nobody’s going to hit anybody,” Medlen said. “But there
are ways to get guys out. Coming in, going out, mixing it up.”
Medlen noted that last
week against the Cubs, Murphy
golfed a pitched that was barely
a foot off the ground for a home
run. It was the second-lowest
pitch hit for a homer in the majors this year.
“He’s hitting everything,”
Medlen said.
Murphy won the MVP
award in the NL Championship
Series for sweeping Chicago, going 9 for 17. Overall, he’s 16 for
38 (.421) in his first postseason,
driving in 11 runs and scoring
11 n nine games.
Along with his home runs,
he’s doubled twice, walked once
and struck out six times.

hitter throughout his career,
Murphy made some mechanical adjustments at the plate
this year designed to get more
power.
“Get your foot down in time
and use your legs,” he summed
up.
The results this month,
though, have exceeded anything than anyone could have
imagined.
After hitting 62 home runs
in 3,354 career at-bats, he’s connected seven times in 38 at-bats
in becoming New York’s newest
“Mr. October.”
Asked to describe Murphy
right now, Medlen simply said:
“Hitter-ish.”
Murphy faced several of the
Kansas City pitchers when they
were in the National League,
including Medlen, Volquez and
Johnny Cueto. But he has never
homered off any of the pitchers
currently on the Royals’ staff.
Plus, Kauffman Stadium
plays fairly big. It was tied for
25th among the 30 big league
parks for home runs, STATS
said.
“He’s hitting a lot of home
runs this postseason, which is
a great accomplishment. We’re
not trying to give up homers,”
Royals closer Wade Davis said.
Murphy, a free agent-to-be,
says he isn’t spending much
time thinking about being in
a special zone. Besides, others
are only too glad to talk about
what he’s doing.
“It’s the hot streak,” teammate David Wright said. “I’m
not sure it’s a hot streak.”
Whatever, the Royals already have thought through
how to stop Murphy.
“We talked about in our
advance meeting today how he
stands on top of the plate, like
Barry Bonds did,” manager Ned
Yost said.
ECCHS receives Big 30’s Don Raabe Scholarship

Prior to the start of Saturday night’s football game between the Elk County Catholic Crusaders and Kane Wolves, members of the Big 30 Charities Classic Committee
presented ECC head coach Tony Gerg with a plaque recognizing Elk County Catholic
as the recipient of the Big 30’s Don Raabe Scholarship. The plaque was decided upon
by a vote, which included all coaches and advisors participating in the Big 30 game.
It was awarded to the school whose participants best represented their school in several categories. As the receiving school, ECC can, in turn, present it to any graduating
senior. Gerg, at right, is pictured along with committee members Dan Quinlan, Jack
Quigley, and Lenny Anzivine.
No. 23 Pitt relishes late-game success
PITTSBURGH (AP)
— When the third quarter
ended Saturday at Syracuse, Pittsburgh’s coaches
and players celebrated.
They sprayed water bottles, jumped around and
shouted despite facing a
four-point deficit.
The Panthers weren’t
celebrating the end of
the game, but rather the
beginning of the fourth
quarter, as they’ve done in
each game this season. After Pitt blew three fourthquarter leads in 2014,
new coach Pat Narduzzi
revamped the team’s attitude toward the final period.
“At the end of the
day you’ve got to win the
game,” Narduzzi said. “If
it’s a close game, you’ve
got to step up and make
something happen.”
What’s been the key to
Pitt’s late-game success?
“Energy and focus,”
middle linebacker Matt
Galambos said. “You see
before the fourth quarter
we all get together at midfield and we’re trying to
have a party on the field.”
Pitt went 1-5 in onescore games during the
2014 season, which ended
in a fourth-consecutive
6-6 regular-season finish.
Now under Narduzzi and
their “party” mentality,
the Panthers are 5-1 in
such contests as they’ve
soared to a 6-1 start and
No. 23 ranking.
“Pitt-ing” in recent
seasons entailed the Panthers finding unexpected,
gut-wrenching ways to
lose games. Half a season
into Narduzzi’s tenure,
“Pitt-ing” now features a
team playing to win rather than one merely play-
ing not to lose.
“It’s no secret,” Narduzzi said. “You’ve just
got to do it and you have
to have that attitude to
win football games whenever that opportunity exists.”
The latest rendition
of the “new Pitt” came in
the 23-20 victory at Syracuse on Saturday, when
the Panthers used a 19play, 89-yard drive that
spanned the final 9:20
to set up Chris Blewitt’s
walk-off 25-yard field
goal.
The victory marked
the first time in six years
the Panthers won a
game they trailed in the
fourth quarter. Pitt’s last
comeback was six years
ago in a 19-17 victory
against North Carolina
— the Panthers’ opponent
Thursday night — in the
2009 Meineke Car Care
Bowl.
Until Saturday, Pitt
lost 32 consecutive games
it trailed in the fourth
quarter.
“It really started back
in spring ball,” Galambos
said. “Once the coaches
got here, starting that culture to finish everything.
It’s not over until that
whistle blows.”
Even before then, to
ensure the players didn’t
forget about previous lategame pitfalls, the new
coaching staff dubbed the
team’s early morning winter conditioning workouts
as the “Fourth-Quarter
Program.”
Galambos,
honored
as the ACC Linebacker of
the Week after he intercepted a pass and caught
a pass on a fake punt that
kept Pitt’s winning drive
alive, and the rest of the
Panthers have followed
the example set by their
lively coach.
“It’s just Coach Narduzzi,” Galambos said.
“He has so much energy
all the time, it’s hard not to
feel that energy. It doesn’t
matter whether we’re in
the meeting room, practice, lifting, from all the
coaches it really trickles
down to us.”

NBA: West is wild, Cavs
Bowling Leagues
seem to stand above in East
By Brian Mahoney
AP Basketball Writer
Kevin Durant is back
in uniform, LaMarcus
Aldridge is back home
in Texas and the Golden
State Warriors are back
intact.
All over the Western
Conference, there are
teams who look capable of
winning it.
In the East, one team
appears to stand out —
and maybe it’s finally
Cleveland’s time to stand
above everybody else in
the NBA.
The Cavaliers, who
fell just short last season, have big goals and
a bigger payroll as they
try to finally bring a title
to their championshipstarved city.
“Yes, we were able to
get to where we wanted to
get to, but we didn’t close
the deal,” LeBron James
said. “So we look forward
to the opportunity once
again to be able to go out
there and continue to try
to play at a high level.”
The Cavs might not
look like championship
material when they open
the season Tuesday night
at Chicago, with James
battling a bad back in the
preseason, Kevin Love
only recently returning
from shoulder surgery and
Kyrie Irving still recovering from knee surgery.
But they have the
pieces, after shelling out
big bucks to assemble
one of the most expensive
teams in NBA history, to
get the job done this time.
“The Cavaliers, man,
they are loaded,” TNT’s
Charles Barkley said.
“I just want to see them
healthy.”
The Warriors were too
good for them and everyone else last season, winning 67 games in Steve
Kerr’s first season as
coach. Kerr will miss the
opener Tuesday while recovering from back surgery but MVP Stephen
Curry and every other
important piece from last
season is back.
“What’s great about
us, we’re all so competitive, that I don’t think
complacency will be an
issue,”
All-Star
Klay
Thompson said. “But we
love having the bullet on
our back.”
Many of their pursuers return stronger, with
Oklahoma City getting
former MVP Durant back
from last season’s broken
foot. Aldridge left Portland
for San Antonio and a spot
on a tantalizing front line
next to Tim Duncan and
Kawhi Leonard, while
Houston (Ty Lawson) and
the Los Angeles Clippers
(Paul Pierce) added potential missing pieces.
Memphis will be rough
and tough as always and
New Orleans has a top
talent on his way to dominance in Anthony Davis,
making it impossible to
predict the path in the
West. There were seven
50-game winners there
last season, and count on
Oklahoma City getting
there after finishing with
45 mostly on the back of
Russell Westbrook while
Durant was sidelined.
The West may be
wild, but drama is harder to envision back East.
The Cavs might only be
vulnerable until they’re
healed and whole.
“I think it does give
the Chicago Bulls an opportunity if they’re able
to get off to a quick start
to maybe challenge Cleveland for the top seed in
the East, but at the end
of the day, it’s still going
to be hard if Cleveland is
healthy at the end of the
year to beat them in a seven-game series,” ESPN’s
Jeff Van Gundy said.
“So they’ve got a really good shot at winning
it all.”

player.
COLLEGES
TO
CONTENDERS: Oklahoma City and Chicago
had successful runs under
their previous coaches,
then dipped into the college ranks when they
decided it was time for a
change. Billy Donovan finally left Florida to take
the Thunder job, Fred
Hoiberg went from Iowa
State to the Bulls, and
both will have to adapt
to the pro game quickly
on teams that are built to
contend for titles now.
HOPING
FOR
HEALTH: From Bryant
to Durant, Carmelo Anthony to Chris Bosh, too
many superstars had to
shut it down early last
season for health reasons.
The NBA is trying to do its
part to help players stay
healthier, trimming backto-backs to a record low of
fewer than 18 per team.
THE
BOSS
IS
WATCHING: The U.S.
plans to pick its Olympic
team without a tryout,
naming its 12-player roster sometime around the
June draft. So this season is the last chance to
make an impression on
USA Basketball chairman

Mike Krzyzewski.

PITTSBURGH (AP) —
All signs point to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s
return to the Pittsburgh
Steelers’ lineup for an AFC
North home game Sunday
against unbeaten Cincinnati.
Nothing has been made
official, but Steelers coach
Mike Tomlin said the twotime Super Bowl winner,
who missed four games
with a sprained knee and
bruised leg, was “close” to
starting the team’s 23-13
loss at Kansas City.
“In the end, we decided to go with the guys that
had the practice reps,”
Tomlin said after Sunday’s
game. “That was the appropriate thing to do. No
second-guessing
there,
we’ll move forward with
Ben as we prepare for this
week.”
Tomlin said he felt
good about Roethlisberger’s availability against
Cincinnati, but cautioned
that the Steelers’ franchise
quarterback still has to go
through a week of practice.
“I don’t know what the
reaction to next week’s
work is going to mean to
him,” Tomlin said. “So I
say that with the understanding that how his knee
reacts to the work we give
him could play into it.”
That provides optimism enough for the Steelers, who look forward to
the possibility of getting
back their leader.
“It would be a huge
boost for us, not just offensively, but from a morale
standpoint for the team,”
linebacker Arthur Moats
said. “You know the type of
talent he brings and what
he’s capable of doing. I feel
like when he’s healthy and
ready to go he’s going to be
out there.”
Roethlisberger,
who
has missed 21 games in 11plus seasons, suffered his
injury in the third quarter
of a September win at St.
Louis. The Steelers were
third best in the NFL at
nearly 300 yards passing
per game with Roethlisberger under center. Without him, the Steelers averaged close to 200 yards
passing, third worst in the
league.
But they managed to
make it four games so far
without
Roethlisberger
as 35-year-old Mike Vick
and third-year pro Landry
Jones navigated the Steelers to a 2-2 record.
Jones, in relief of the
injured Vick, sparked the
Steelers to a come-frombehind victory two weeks
ago against Arizona. That
was enough for Jones to
earn his first career at
Kansas City. He had his
team in position to win,
trailing by a field goal in
the fourth quarter, but the
Steelers were unable to
overcome three turnovers.
Jones completed 16 passes
for 209 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.
“I felt largely that he
gave us a chance,” Tomlin
said of Jones’ performance.
Roethlisberger would
face a rested Cincinnati
team coming off a bye
week. And the Steelers,
who trail Cincinnati by
two games in the division,
realize it won’t be an easy
task even if Roethlisberger
returns under center.
“It will be one of those
things where we let Ben be
Ben,” guard Ramon Foster
said. “We can’t act like it’s
a grand celebration. He is
going to be a guy who just
does his job. We know how
he operates. You miss the
guy when he is out, and
when he is back we will
roll.”

ECCHS Alumni Association holds Golden Grads Reunion
The 35th Annual
Golden Grads Reunion
was held on Sunday, Oct.
11 at Elk County Catholic
High School. The reunion
is held each year to honor
those alumni who graduated 50 or more years earlier. Around 170 alumni
and guests attended the
event, which was hosted
by the ECCHS Alumni
Association and the Elk
County Catholic School
System Advancement Office. This year’s honored
class was the Elk County
Christian High School
Class of 1965.
The day began with
a mass celebration in the
ECC Chapel. Mass was
celebrated by Fr. Ross
Miceli, ECCSS campus
minister and pastor of St.
Boniface Church. Members of the Class of 1965
performed mass duties
by delivering the day’s
readings and petitions
and acting as gift bearers
and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion.
Music was provided by
ECCHS choir director Mr.
Richard Swackhammer
and the Liturgical Choir.
After
mass,
hors
d’oeuvres were enjoyed,
reminiscing took place,
a tour of the school was
given to the newest Golden Grads, and pictures
of each class were taken.
Central High School and
ECCHS memorabilia and
records were displayed
in the form of pictures,
scrapbooks, and pennants
from the alumni collection
of Midge Herbstritt Lenze,
Class of 1947, who passed
away in March of 2015.
Favors were also given to
attendees - chocolate-covered pretzels from Goblin
Chocolates. Before the
serving of dinner, Sr. Marian Wehler, Class of 1962,
led the Golden Grads in a
prayer of thanksgiving.
After a delicious meal
provided by the Sacred
Heart Social Committee,
ECCSS director of advancement Sue Jansen
gave a short “State of the
School” address. She first
congratulated the Class
of 1965 on reaching their
golden anniversary. She
went on to explain that
the artwork that now
hangs in the cafeteria was
done by Mr. Pete Winklbauer’s Class of 2015
art students. She also acknowledged the beautiful
mosaic of the Last Supper that was completed
by our middle school students during one of the
school system’s summer
camp programs. She then
addressed the process of
the relocation of the Stations of the Cross from
the St. Joseph Monastery
and how this wonderful
gift now adorns the walls
of the middle and high
school chapel. She talked
about the new coordinated curriculum that has
been implemented at the
high school to show how
faith impacts the proper
study of literature and
history and how all grade
levels are placing an emphasis on Great Books, especially faith-based classics, to improve the way
our students speak, write
and think as Catholics.
She closed by stating that
the opportunities and resources that are available
to our students today are
thanks to the work and
dedication of the ECCHS
alumni community.
ECCSS director of admissions Frankie Stubber also gave an update
on school system enrollment as well as the high
school’s
international
student program. Four
students from China and
Vietnam are currently enrolled at ECCHS as of the
beginning of this school
year, and an additional
student may join the student body for the second
semester.
Alumni
Association
president Dawn Salter,
Class of 1990, then welcomed the Class of 1965
into the Golden Grads.
She spoke about the role
of the Alumni Association, and presented certificates to the classes of
1940, 1945, 1950, 1955,
1960 and 1965 as they
celebrated their alumni
anniversary years. The

82nd alumni years, respectively. Special guest
speaker Wendell Lion,
Class of 1954, also took
center stage to wish his
sister Lovey a Happy
100th Birthday. Those in
attendance enjoyed his
tribute as well as the stories he told about Lovey,
which painted a beautiful
picture of her caring and
generous nature.

ECC’s Miller receives band honor Diver removes famous fake
skeletons from Colorado River
Photo submitted
Emily Miller, a member of the Elk County Catholic High
School Marching Band, was chosen as the Sheetz Performer
of the Week at last week’s marching band competition at
Juniata Valley. Emily plays flute and is the daughter of Tom
and Julie Miller. Sheetz has been the sponsor of the TOB/TIA
Chapter 11 Performer of the Week Award for the past several
years. Each week, a student performer is selected by the
Chapter team as the outstanding performer of the week
based on their attitude and their performance. This is a real
special honor for the performers.
PARKER, Ariz. (AP) —
A diver who felt he didn’t
get his fair share of the
credit for discovering two
fake skeletons sitting in
lawn chairs at the bottom
of the Colorado River has
removed them from their
watery grave.
Martin Sholl said he
spotted the skeletons,
adorned in sunglasses, flipflops, a bikini and a rainbow-colored wig, tethered
to lawn chairs while scuba
diving in the river near the
Arizona-California line in
May, Today’s News-Herald
in Lake Havasu City reported Monday.
He alerted the La Paz
County Sheriff’s Office,
and authorities discovered
the skeletons were plastic.
“Skeleton tea party,”
Sholl said. “It was funny.
The next day when my
friend called and told me
that the chaos I created
was on every morning
show in the country, I was
shocked. ... I found out they
didn’t mention me at all.”
Instead, Sholl said the
media focused on La Paz
County Deputy Curt Bagby, who led the recovery of

the skeletons and investigated how they ended up
in the river. When Sholl
called a news outlet, he
was told that Bagby wasn’t
sure he would want to
speak.
“When you’re dealing
with the media (as a law
enforcement officer), you
can’t assume that people
want to be named,” Bagby
told the newspaper.
Since the skeletons
were discovered, they have
become an attraction to
recreational divers.
But Sholl said he
pulled them from the river
Friday and put them on
his balcony in Parker. He
said he would return the
skeletons after Halloween.
The sheriff’s office says
it wasn’t illegal for Sholl
to take the skeletons. But
Chris Chambers of the
Buckskin Fire Department
said he hopes Sholl doesn’t
keep them long.
“Hopefully, he’ll give
the skeletons to the Buckskin Fire Department,
and let us take them back
down,” Chambers said.
“They’re a really neat attraction.”
the Alumni Association.
Dawn also acknowledged
the alumni volunteers
who helped serve the dinner as well as Veronica
Greenthaner
Chicola,
Class of 1961, for making
the cupcakes that were
served with dessert and
for providing the boutonnieres and corsages that
were given to the honored
class.
Victor Vidal, the nominated speaker from the
Class of 1965, then took
the podium. He first acknowledged those who
hosted the reunion and
acknowledged them for
all the effort they put into
the event. Throughout his
speech, he spoke about
the world events that
were happening during
the class’s senior year and
how those events affected
them during that time as
well as the present time.
He talked about the special memories he had with
a number of classmates
and paid special tribute to
the classmates they had
lost. He encouraged his
class to leave a legacy for
future generations and
closed with a quote from
Pope Francis: “Have faith
and have hope.”
Sr. Marian closed the
celebration with a prayer.

Dear Annie: My father has
a bunch of serious medical problems. We’ve never been close. Dad
was a heavy drinker and always
yelled at me. He was extremely
rude, critical, sarcastic and angry
all the time, for no reason. Once,
he threw me out of a slow-moving
car. I’ve attempted suicide three
times, and Dad refused to visit
me in the hospital. I’m still angry
about this.
I suspect he could pass away
soon, and I would like to have
some meaningful dialogues before
that happens. I also have a terrible secret I’d like to tell him before
he dies.
Since his health problems
started, Dad has changed for the
better, but we still rarely talk to
each other. How do I begin to tell
him my secret? -- Scared Son in
Florida
Dear Scared Son: Since you
and Dad have such a hard time
communicating, it might help to
bring in a third party to facilitate
the initial conversation -- perhaps
an understanding relative, mutual friend or clergyperson. You can
always start by telling him you
care about him and worry about
his health. However, we have to
wonder why you are so desperate to tell him a “terrible secret.”
It doesn’t sound as if you seek
his counsel on the matter, only
that you are trying to unburden
yourself at his expense. Examine
your motives. If telling Dad will
bring him some peace of mind and
make your relationship better, go
ahead. Otherwise, please discuss
your secret with someone who can
be of assistance or support.
Dear Annie: I am a 17-yearold junior in high school and get
invited to various parties. One
girl, “Sarah,” likes to show R-rated movies.
Annie, I am extremely uncomfortable with the content of
these movies, but Sarah says
she’s doing me a favor by making me watch them. The synopses
of some of these films make me
physically ill. I now avoid Sarah’s
parties (and sometimes Sarah)
so I won’t be pressured. I refuse
to lower my standards, but I am
tired of Sarah jumping down my
throat about it. How do I get her
to respect my choices? -- Need
Suggestions
Dear Need: Every crowd has
one person who enjoys tormenting those who are easily flustered.
Just because you are old enough
to watch R-rated films doesn’t
mean you have to. Instead of becoming upset with Sarah’s shenanigans, try being completely
0LOOLRQ'ROODU+Z\
bored. Sigh and say, “Thanks for
your interest in my education.”
Smile. Walk away. She’ll tire of it
eventually.
Dear Annie: I read “L.K.’s”
response to “Baby Mama,” who
wants to get pregnant. L.K. said
having a baby at age 19 limits any
further education.
I was 19 when I became pregnant with my first child. However,
I went on to finish college and
now have a BA in education and
a teaching career. I agree that it is
irresponsible to want a baby just
because her friends have one. And
it’s true that finishing school was
a struggle. However, if she works
hard, she can still have a good education and a career. -- Managed

Study: Kids take 100-plus
required tests through 12th grade
By Jennifer C. Kerr and
Josh Lederman
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Students, parents and
teachers have long lamented the hours that
kids spend taking standardized tests, especially
since the introduction of
the Common Core academic standards. But just
how much time each year
is it?
A. Between 10-15
hours.
B. Between 20-25
hours.
C. Between 30-35
hours.
The correct answer is
“B,” according to a comprehensive study of 66 of
the nation’s big-city school
districts by the Council of
the Great City Schools. It
said testing amounts to
about 2.3 percent of classroom time for the average
eighth-grader in public
school. Between pre-K
and 12th grade, students
took about 112 mandatory
standardized exams.
The study analyzed
the time spent actually
taking the tests, but it did
not include the hours devoted to preparation ahead
of the testing required by
the federal government,
states or local districts. It
also did not include regular day-to-day classroom
quizzes and tests in reading, math, science, foreign
languages and more.
In connection with
the study’s release Saturday, President Barack
Obama called for capping
standardized testing at 2
percent of classroom time.
Even while acknowledging that the government
shares some responsibility for an over-emphasis
on testing, the president
said federal officials would
work with states, schools
and teachers to “make
sure that we’re not obsessing about testing.”
The Obama administration still supports annual standardized tests
as a necessary assessment
tool, and both House and
Senate versions of an up-
date to the No Child Left
Behind law would continue annual testing. But
the rewrite legislation
would let states decide
how to use test results
to determine what to do
with struggling schools.
Differences between the
two bills still need to be
worked out.
“Learning is about so
much more than just filling in the right bubble,”
Obama said in a video released on Facebook. “So
we’re going to work with
states, school districts,
teachers, and parents to
make sure that we’re not
obsessing about testing.”
To drive the point
home, Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan met in the Oval Office
on Monday with teachers
and school officials working to reduce testing time.
White House spokesman
Josh Earnest said Obama
acknowledged in the session that the federal government can do more to
ensure U.S. schools aren’t
overly focused on testing.
“How much constitutes too much time is really difficult to answer,”
said Michael Casserly,
the council’s executive director. He said the study
found plenty of redundancy in required testing —
supporting concerns from
teachers and other critics
about the tests consuming too much teaching and
learning time.
For example, Casserly said that researchers found some states
and school districts were
mandating not only endof-year tests, but end-ofcourse tests in the same
subjects, in the same
grade.
“Having states and
school districts jointly reviewing redundancy and
overlap in their testing
requirements will be an
important step in reducing unnecessary assessments,” he said.
The council reviewed
testing for more than 7
million students in about
three dozen states during
the 2014-2015 school year.

A “testing action plan” Public Welcome 776-1424
released by the Education Department over the
weekend said too many
schools have unnecessary
testing.
The
department
pledged to work with
states and schools on
ways to reduce time spent
on testing, with federal
guidance to the states expected in January. The
plan also said the agency
has adjusted its policies to
provide more flexibility to
states on how much significance to place on student
test results in evaluating
teachers.
Aiming
to
close
achievement gaps and
assess learning, the No
Child Left Behind Act
signed
by
President
George W. Bush in 2002
mandated annual testing
in reading and math for
students in grades three
through eight and again
in high school. States
and local school districts
decide which standardized assessments to use
to gauge student learning
and progress in those two
subjects and others.
This past spring saw
the rollout of new tests
based on the Common
Core college-ready academic standards in reading and math. About 12
million students in 29
states and the District of
Columbia took the tests
developed by two groups
— the Smarter Balanced
Assessment Consortium
and the Partnership for
Assessment of Readiness
for College and Careers
(PARCC).
Other findings in the
council’s report:
—The most tests were
required in 8th and 10th
grade; the fewest were in
pre-K, kindergarten and
first grade.
—Four in 10 districts
report having to wait between two months and
four months before getting state test results.
The lack of timely results
means teachers begin a
new school year not knowing where a student needs
to improve.

Speaker Boehner’s last deal:
2-year budget, debt ceiling
By Andrew Taylor and
Erica Werner
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Speaker John Boehner is
making one final appeal to
restive Republicans: Pass a
hard-won agreement with
President Barack Obama
to fund the government and
forestall a debt crisis before
Rep. Paul Ryan assumes
the top job later this week.
But he encountered immediate resistance when he
laid out the plan Monday
night.
The budget pact, in
concert with a must-pass
increase in the federal borrowing limit, would solve
the thorniest issues awaiting Ryan, R-Wis., who is
set to be elected speaker
on Thursday. It would also
take budget showdowns
and government shutdown
fights off the table until after the 2016 presidential
election, a potential boon
to Republican candidates
who might otherwise face
uncomfortable
questions
about messes in the GOPled Congress.
Congress must raise
the federal borrowing limit
by Nov. 3 or risk a first-ever
default, while money to pay
for government operations
runs out Dec. 11 unless
Congress acts. The emerging framework would give
both the Pentagon and domestic agencies two years
of budget relief of $80 billion in exchange for cuts
elsewhere in the budget.
Outlined for rank-andfile Republicans in a closeddoor session Monday night,
the budget relief would total $50 billion in the first
year and $30 billion in the
second year.
“Let’s declare success,”
House Majority Leader
Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.,
told Republicans, according
to Rep. David Jolly, R-Fla.,
as the leadership sought to
rally support for the emerging deal.
Conservatives in the
conference
who
drove
Boehner to resign were not
ready to fall in line. But a
chief selling point for GOP
leaders is that the alternative is chaos and a standalone debt limit increase
that might be forced on Republicans.
“This is again just the
umpteenth time that you
have this big, big, huge deal
that’ll last for two years and
we were told nothing about
it,” said Rep. John Fleming
of Louisiana.
“I’m not excited about
it at all,” said Rep. Matt
Salmon, R-Ariz. “A twoyear budget deal that raises
the debt ceiling for basically
the entire term of this presidency.”
Negotiators hoped to
officially file the legislation
Monday night.
The measure under discussion would suspend the
current $18.1 trillion debt
limit through March 2017.
The budget side of the
deal is aimed at undoing
automatic spending cuts
which are a byproduct of a
2011 budget and debt deal
and the failure of Washington to subsequently tackle
the government’s fiscal
woes. GOP defense hawks
are a driving force, intent
on reversing the automatic
cuts and getting more money for the military.
The focus is on setting a
new overall spending limit
for agencies whose operating budgets are set by Congress each year. It will be
up to the House and Senate
Appropriations committees
to produce a detailed omnibus spending bill by the
Dec. 11 deadline.
The tentative pact anticipates designating further increases for the Pentagon as emergency war
funds that can be made
exempt from budget caps.
Offsetting spending cuts
that would pay for domestic spending increases included reforms to the Agri-
culture Department’s crop
insurance program, curbing
certain Medicare payments
for outpatient services
provided by hospitals and
extending a 2 percentage
point cut in Medicare payments to doctors through
the end of a 10-year budget.
Negotiators looked to
address two other key issues
as well: a shortfall looming
next year in Social Security
payments to the disabled
and a large increase for
many retirees in Medicare
premiums and deductibles
for doctors’ visits and other
outpatient care.
The deal, which would
apply to the 2016-2017 budget years, resembles a pact
that Ryan himself put together two years ago in concert with Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., that eased
automatic spending cuts for
the 2014-15 budget years. A
lot of conservatives disliked
that measure.
“It is past time that we
do away with the harmful,
draconian sequester cuts,”
said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. “We
must also ensure that there
are equal defense and nondefense increases.”
Just days are left for the
deal to come together before
Ryan is elected on Thursday to replace Boehner, ROhio, who is leaving Congress under pressure from
conservative
lawmakers
angered by his history of
seeking compromise and
Democratic votes on issues
like the budget.
The deal would make
good on a promise Boehner
made in the days after announcing his surprise resignation from Congress
last month. He said at the
time: “I don’t want to leave
my successor a dirty barn. I
want to clean the barn up a
little bit before the next person gets there.”
Some of the more moderate Republican members
welcomed the emerging deal
and applauded Boehner.
