Pizzeria owner
rejects pope
pizza boxes
HARRISON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) — A
southern New Jersey pizzeria owner says pizza
boxes that depict Pope
Francis and welcome him
to Philadelphia are in poor
taste.
Anthony Marino sent
the boxes back to SavonaStavola Food packing in
West Deptford when they
arrived at Marino’s Pizza
in Harrison, New Jersey,
Marino told NJ.com.
“I’m a Roman Catholic, so when I saw his face
on the box, to me it seemed
this is a guy who is not into
that kind of stuff,” Marino
said. “And the fact is that
not everybody is a Roman
Catholic.”
Marino said the drawing of the pope and Philadelphia skyline with
“Welcome Pope Francis”
and “Philadelphia 2015”
written on the box wasn’t
right.
Savona-Stavola’s marketing director, Amanda
Farese, said the box was
designed as a fun way to
commemorate the pope’s
visit on Sept. 26-27, and
people are going to pizze-

WASHINGTON
(AP)
—
House Democrats are pushing
Pope Francis to address the minimum wage, hunger and the environment in his historic speech to
Congress later this month, hoping
his embrace will give momentum
to three party priorities.
In a letter to the pontiff, 94
House Democrats lauded Francis’
schedule during his six-day U.S.
trip, which includes visits to a
Philadelphia prison and a school
in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood.
“Your powerful example of
solidarity with the poor and the
marginalized will undoubtedly
help inform our current debates
around major U.S. policy affecting all Americans,” the lawmakers wrote. “Your message of hope
could not come at a more crucial
time, in particular to those in our
nation that are struggling on a
minimum wage salary, or relying
on public assistance to put food on
the table.”
The Democrats cited instances in which Republicans have
blocked Democratic efforts to increase the federal minimum wage
and bolster food and environment
programs. “We look forward with
great anticipation to your visit
and to your words on all these issues,” they said.
Francis’ U.S. visit will include
a Sept. 24 address to Congress,
the first by a pope, and is certain
to bring throngs of people to the
capital. He arrives in the U.S. on
Sept. 22.
The letter is dated Aug. 12
and was first reported by Politico.
In a second letter, 13 House
lawmakers who graduated from
Jesuit schools described how their
educations encouraged them to
serve needy people and politely
asked if the pope had time in his
already packed schedule to meet
with them. Francis is a Jesuit.
Students ask federal government
Viewing area dedication today
to discharge their college loan debt
By Anne Flaherty
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) – Almost 12,000 students are asking the federal government to
discharge their college loan debt,
asserting that their school either
closed or lied to them about job
prospects, according to government data released Thursday.
Already, claims totaling about
$40 million in loans have been
approved.
That’s only a fraction of the
potential cost to taxpayers if all
the students affected by the collapse of Corinthian Colleges file
claims. Education Department
Undersecretary Ted Mitchell
said the potential student loan
relief could total $3.2 billion.
The claims already filed represent an unprecedented spike
in what’s called a “borrower’s
defense” claim following the collapse of Corinthian Colleges, a
for-profit college chain that had
become a symbol of fraud in
the world of higher education.
Department regulations allow
students who believe they were
victims of fraud to apply to have
their loans discharged.
Officials say they knew of
five or so such cases in the past

will enable LIFT to expand their current “ReUse” program by providing assistive technology
equipment to individuals

The number of calls
LIFT receives on a week-

technology
equipment
re-enforced the need for
the expansion of inventory. Sometimes equipment is not covered by

biggest question has been
what should happen to
the debt incurred by students whose schools were
sold. The law already provides for debt relief for
students of schools that
close, so long as they apply within 120 days.
The latest plan expands debt relief to students who attended a
now-closed school as far
back as a year ago. And
it streamlines the process for students whose
schools were sold, but
who believe they were
victims of fraud.
In the report released
Thursday by the Education Department’s new
“special master” for debt
relief,
Joseph
Smith
called the collapse of Corinthian a “landmark
event” that triggered an
immediate 1,000 “borrower’s defense” claims and
contributed to a claims
list that now surpasses
4,000. Most of the claims
are from Corinthian students, although some are
from other schools.
While unprecedented,
the figures actually represent a fraction of the
students who might qualify for debt relief. Some
350,000 students have attended Corinthian schools
in the past five years. The
Education
Department
says it sent some 54,000
emails to Heald College
students, alerting them
about the program.
Debt
20 years; some 4,140
have been filed since the
Education Department’s
June
announcement
that it would make the
debt-relief process easier. Officials say an additional 7,815 Corinthian
students have filed claims
for debt-relief because
their school closed.
Of those closed school
claims, the department
said 3,128 had been approved, totaling about
$40 million in student
loans.
The Obama administration is trying to rein
in the for-profit college
industry, which it says relies too heavily on federal
student loans and often
misleads students on job
prospects. In its latest
move, the Education Department on Aug. 28 sent
a letter to DeVry University asking the for-profit
institution for proof to
support its job placement
claims.
According to investigators,
Corinthian
schools charged exorbitant fees, lied about job
prospects for its graduates and, in some cases,
encouraged students to
lie about their circumstances to get more federal aid. After the Education Department notified
Corinthian that it would
fine its Heald College
$30 million for misleading students, the college
chain filed for bankruptcy, with some 13,500 students still enrolled.
In a plan orchestrated by the federal government, some of the Corinthian schools closed while
others were sold before
the chain filed for bankruptcy this spring. The

Biden’s Bankruptcy
Bill Could Complicate
a Presidential Run
As Vice President Joe
Biden reportedly mulls a
bid for the U.S. presidency,
his champions portray him
as a credible alternative to
Democratic Party frontrunner Hillary Clinton,
who faces accusations
that she is beholden to
the financial industry. But
a Biden campaign risks
confronting the scorn of
one of the party’s most influential progressives, Sen.
Elizabeth Warren. Though
Biden has reportedly
sought her favor, Warren
has historically disdained,
charging him with acting
as a tool of the credit card
industry by limiting debt
relief for people grappling
with financial troubles.
As a Harvard law
professor in 2002, Warren published a journal
article excoriating Biden
for playing a leading role
in delivering legislation
that made it more difficult
for Americans to reduce
debts through bankruptcy
filings. As the senator
from Delaware, Biden’s
repeated push for the bill
-- signed into law by President George W. Bush in
2005 -- amounted to “vigorous support of legislation
that hurts women,” Warren declared. She said "the
group that will be most
affected by the changes in
the bankruptcy legislation
Senator Biden so forcefully
supports will be women,
particularly women heads
of household who are supporting children."
In a separate 2003 book
she co-authored with her
daughter, Warren said,
“Senators like Joe Biden
should not be allowed
to sell out women in the
morning and be heralded
as their friend in the evening.”
Biden's spokesman,
Stephen Spector, said:
"Throughout his career,
the vice president has been
a champion for middleclass families and has
fought against powerful
interests.”
Biden earlier this month
met with Warren, a Wall
Street critic who is wellknown among Democratic
voters. The meeting was
widely seen as an effort
by Biden to try to convince the Massachusetts
lawmaker to support his
prospective White House
bid.
Warren’s 2002 writings, however, may stymie
that effort both because
her criticism was specifically targeted at Biden
and because the criticism
revolved around an issue that cuts to the heart
of Democratic voters’
concerns over the growing political power of the
financial sector.
In Warren’s 2002 review
of Biden, she said the
senator of 36 years played
a “crucial” role in passing
the bankruptcy legislation over the objections of
unions, consumer groups
and women’s organizations. The bill was backed
by major credit card companies, including MBNA,
which is headquartered
in Delaware and whose
employees collectively became Biden’s top campaign
contributor. The firm also
hired Biden’s son, Hunter,
as a consultant.
Spector, the vice president's spokesperson, asserted that Biden shaped
the bankruptcy bill to
specifically help women,
working "to make child
support and alimony a priority in the bill by ensuring continuity of child care
payments."
In her 2002 article,
though, Warren accused
Biden of playing an especially pernicious role in
pressing the legislation,
harnessing his reputation
as an advocate for the interests of working women
to curry the support of
interest groups that would
otherwise have opposed
the bill. His support for
the bankruptcy legislation, she said, provided
crucial political cover that
enabled other lawmakers
to support the measure
and avoid criticism from
women’s groups.
“He has shielded his
colleagues on both sides
of the aisle from being
branded as anti-women
for their support of this
legislation,” Warren wrote.
“Senator Biden can publicly support one very visible
piece of legislation on behalf of women, satisfying
his duty and assuring the
loyal support of millions of
women. He is then free to
be a zealous advocate on
behalf of one of his biggest
contributors, the financial
services industry, and
still position himself as a
champion for women.”
While some Democratic
activists are pining for a
Biden-Warren ticket, Warren’s writing suggests such
a political marriage would
be more than a bit complicated.

Guest Commentary
Do Cops' Lives Matter to Obama?
Barack Obama, as chief
law enforcement officer of
the United States, is going
to have to stop acting like
a conscientious objector in
this war on cops.
Wednesday, another
officer, in Fox Lake, Illinois, Lt. Charles "GI Joe"
Gliniewicz, was gunned
down. Last Friday, Darren
Goforth, a Houston deputy
sheriff, was shot 15 times
by an alleged black racist.
President Obama called
the widow of Deputy
Goforth, but he has yet to
show the same indignation
and outrage he exhibited
at what happened to Trayvon Martin in Florida and
Michael Brown in Ferguson.
This year, 24 cops have
been gunned down. And
the day after deputy Goforth's execution, "Black
Lives Matter!" showed up
at the Minnesota state fair
chanting, "Pigs in a blanket! Fry 'em like bacon!"
Last fall, when mobs
blocked highways after the
death of Eric Garner in an
encounter with police on
Staten Island, the hoodlum
chant was: "What do we
want? Dead cops! When do
we want 'em? Now!"
Soon after, two cops in
Brooklyn were executed in
their patrol car.
Time for Obama to
ascend the bully pulpit
and call out the racial
demagogues in the fever
swamps of his own radical
left constituency.
For some of the evils
of the last century we
thought we left behind
seem to be returning, as
is the old indulgence of
lawlessness when done by
those claiming some "grievance" against society.
Violent crime is rising again, a direct result,
many believe, of a new
police reluctance to be
aggressive in enforcing
the law, to avoid violent
clashes with criminals
and suspects, the so-called
"Ferguson effect."
The lead story in the
Sept. 1 New York Times reported a surge in murders
in the city after the Eric
Garner incident, and even
greater surges in Milwaukee, St. Louis, Baltimore,
Washington, D.C., and
Chicago.
A closer look at the
Times figures reveals
something more disturbing. Chicago, a city with
not half the population of
New York, exceeds New
York in murders this year,
294 to 208.
Washington, a city not a
tenth as populous as New
York, had half as many
murders, 105. Baltimore,
where Freddie Gray died
in police custody, and six
officers have been charged
in his death, has had more
murders this year, 215,
than New York, though
New York has 14 times the
population.
To discover the causes
of the new crime wave in
America, we should reconsider what rolled back
the tsunami of crime that
swept America from the
1960s to the early 1990s.
One of the causes of that
crime wave was simple
demography. From 1962
to 1990, the baby-boom
generation, largest in
U.S. history, passed into,
through, and out of that
age cohort, 18 to 36, where
crime among males is at its
highest.
Second, beginning with
the Reagan era around
1980, America nearly
quadrupled the number of
incarcerated, from 600,000
to over 2 million in jails
and prisons. Muggers, robbers, rapists, killers were
taken off the streets and
put away for decades.
With mayors like Rudy
Giuliani, hard-core criminals had the book thrown
at them, and even petty
crimes were prosecuted
before the petty criminals
graduated to worse crimes.
Cops became heroes.
America's cities became
livable again.
Washington ceased to be
the "murder capital of the
nation." Young people begin moving in and fixing up
inner-city neighborhoods
that few had dared to visit
a couple years before.
While we have nowhere
near the murders, rapes
and robberies we did in the
worst decades of the 20th
century, the crime rate is
rising across the nation.
In D.C., restrictions on
cops and a spike in crime
have produced a huge vote
of no confidence from the
Fraternal Order of Police
in once-popular Police
Chief Cathy Lanier.
Cops say that aggressive
methods of crime control
like New York's "stop and
frisk" make cities safer.
The D.C. Fraternal Order
says that city leaders need
to "stop sacrificing the
safety of our communities
... to political correctness,"
and let the cops do their
jobs.
Post-Ferguson, America
seems to be dividing angrily over this issue of cops
and crime.
The Right sees America's cops as civilization's
last line of defense against
crime and anarchy. Among
liberal elites and the Black
Lives Matter crowd, an
old notion is regaining
ascendancy — cops are the
problem and police are all
too often the oppressors.
In the 1960s, Vice President Hubert Humphrey
declared that if he had to
endure the conditions of
the ghetto, he "could lead
a pretty good riot" himself,
while Nixon ridiculed the
Kerner Commission report
that blamed the riots on
"white racism."
Nixon and George Wallace got 57 percent of the
vote in 1968. And a strong
stand for law and order
helped to give the GOP a
near quarter-century lock
on the presidency.
The law and order issue
is lying there again, waiting to be picked up.
Meanwhile we ought to
hear from our president
about who and what he
thinks is responsible for all
those wounded and dead
cops.

States established diplomatic relations with East
Germany.
In 1995, attorney William Kunstler, who spoke
out for the politically unpopular in a controversial
career, died in New York at
age 76.
Ten years ago: Six days
after Hurricane Katrina
left a devastated New
Orleans in chaos, police
stormed
the
Danziger
Bridge, shooting and killing two unarmed people
and wounding four others.
(Five New Orleans police
officers were found guilty
of civil rights violations in
connection with the shoot-
ings; however, a federal
judge threw out those convictions in September 2013
and ordered a new trial,
concluding the case had
been tainted by "grotesque
prosecutorial misconduct.")
One year ago: Joan Rivers, the raucous, acidtongued comedian who
crashed the male-dominated realm of late-night talk
shows, died at a New York
hospital at age 81, a week
after going into cardiac
arrest in a doctor's office
following a routine medical procedure. President
Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David
Cameron pressed fellow
NATO allies at the scene of
a summit in Wales to confront the "brutal and poisonous" Islamic State militant group wreaking havoc
in Iraq and Syria. Former
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen,
were convicted of taking
bribes to promote a dietary
supplement in a corruption
case that derailed the career of the onetime rising
Republican star.

Water Well Drilling Field Day to
be held Sept. 22 in Norwich
Penn State Extension
will sponsor a Well Drilling Field Day on Tuesday, Sept. 22 from 9 a.m.
to 12 p.m., at the Donald
J. Comes Learning Center, located at 9021 Route
46 in Norwich Township.
Participants will be able
to see a water-well being constructed. Allegany Well Drilling will be
drilling the water well
and Penn State Extension Water Resources
Extension Educator, Jim
Clark, will help explain
the process and share
Penn State Extension
Water Team educational
resources as the day proceeds. Pennsylvania and
Alaska are the two states
left with no statewide
water well construction
or location standards
and it is important for
private water supply
owners to be educated
about how to properly
construct a well, to protect the quality of their
finished well water. The
program is free and open
to the public, but preregistration is required
by calling Jim Clark at
814-887-5613, or emailing him at jac20@psu.

Hildur L. Mohney,
94, formerly of Highland
Road, Kane, died Tuesday
evening, Sept. 1, 2015 at
The Lutheran Home at
Kane.
Born Jan. 17, 1921 in
Kane, she was the daughter of Oscar and Esther
Framberg Carlson.
On June 19, 1937 in
Kane, she married Clifford Mohney, who died in
1972.
Mrs. Mohney had
worked at the Silk Mill,
Holgate Toy Company and
Affiliated Industries, all
in Kane.
She had attended
Kane schools and had
been a member of Tabor
Ev. Lutheran Church. She
enjoyed crocheting and
had made an afghan for
all of her family members.
Hildur lived the past
52 years in the same
house where she was
born, having moved there
to care for her mother.
It is where she cared for
her husband in his last
illness and where her
children, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren and
great-great-grandchildren
gathered and enjoyed her
practical wisdom, her offering of inspiration and
good advice. She brought
a lot of humor into their
lives. Her sharp memory of people, places and
events was enjoyed by all.
Her hands were always busy as she enjoyed
making throw rugs from
old clothing on her rug
loom. Even as she aged
and weakened, she used
her energy, time and talents to continue to crochet afghans which she so
generously gave to relatives and friends making
sure all new members of
her family received an
afghan. These afghans
of love have warmed and
will continue to warm the
hearts and bodies of those
to whom she gave them.
She loved to participate
in making decorations for
the holidays at The Lu-

Have you ever noticed that it is easy to do the
will of God when you agree with it? But when you
don’t, man is it difficult. In 2 Corinthians 12:7-9
Paul talks about a thorn in the flesh that was given him. Three times he asked for it to be removed,
but God said that his grace was sufficient. I don’t
pretend to know what this thorn was, but what I
can tell you is that regardless of Paul’s desire to
have it removed, God in his wisdom chose to leave
it.
Sometimes God allows things in our life to test
and refine us. Although that may not seem like
fun, it does never the less have a purpose. I have
learned that some tests are designed to teach us
what we are made of and where our weaknesses
are. Peter you might remember, told Jesus that he
would defend him to the end. Jesus told him “Peter the truth is, this very night before the rooster
crows, you will deny me three times.” (Matthew
26:34) And of course, that was what happened.
Yet, after this Peter was the one that stood up and

DOING THE WILL OF GOD
By Pastor B.J. Knefley
FLEMING & HAINES, INC.
spoke before the crowds on the Day of Pentecost,
(Acts 2).
The writer of Romans stated that when we allow God to transform our minds, then we would
be able to know what His perfect and good will
is, (Romans 12:2). This transformation comes
through the renewing of our minds. Like a computer, our minds have been programmed with the
many things that have come into our lives. We
learn through the things we see, hear, and touch.
What we have taken in through these areas has
helped to form and shape whom we are today. All
of our beliefs are the sum product of what we have
been taught. All that this was, and is, can be in
conflict with God and His Word. Getting our will
to line up with God’s will is more than just desire.
It will also take hard work and some deprogramming of our minds. Hence the renewing process
talked about in Romans. If your desire is to do the
will of God, it will take desire along with discipline and the grace of God to get past the thorns
in the flesh. If you’re up to the challenge, are you
willing to take the journey? Think about it.

Butterflies in the classroom
The first grade students in Mrs. Pyne’s class at Bennetts Valley have some very
special guests in their classroom. Pictured above are Haylie Gerber, Derrek
Hamilton, Jack Keebler, and Georgia Barnhart. Inside the netting that they are
admiring are some caterpillars who have woven themselves into a chrysalis. After a while, the chrysalis will crack open and out will come a beautiful monarch
butterfly. The students are learning about the life cycle of these insects and will
get to experience the changing process first-hand. At South St. Marys Street
Elementary second graders are waiting for the caterpillars to become beautiful butterflies. They have six caterpillars and are watching them form chrysalis.
They have studied the life cycle of the butterfly, and read “The Very Hungry
Catepillar” by Eric Carle. Shown below from left to right are Jack Neil, Andrew
Field, Karli Frantz, and Molly Hanslovan.
Diving into reading
Students at Fox Township Elementary School are already excited to dive into
reading this year! The school has already hosted its first book fair and their
annual open house. Students were able to bring their parents into school and
show them all of their classrooms, introduce them to their teachers, and visit
the book fair to find the perfect story to bring in the new school year. Pictured are students Trenton Mosier, Ali Sorg, and Anthony Himes, showing off
their new books in front of the Scholastic displays.
Painted pottery
Sidewalk chalk spelling words
Students at Bennetts Valley Elementary School have been working on painted
pottery in Mrs. Cassels art class. Collaborating with their homeroom teacher,
Mrs. Michuck, these fifth grade students will fill their painted pottery with
soil and a flower as a gift for their parents at open house next week. Pictured
from left to right are Toby Steis, Olivia Smith, and Eilla Senior.
Outdoor classroom sidewalk bricks
Mrs.Yetzer’s second grade class at Fox Township Elementary is enjoying every last bit of sunshine that summer has to offer. Pictured are students Bailey
Herbstritt and Madilyn Mancuso, smiling for the camera. Meanwhile, student Tysen Beimel is too busy working hard on his spelling words to even say cheese!
Mrs.Yetzer loves to teach while having fun--and the students love to learn!
Bennetts Valley parents, teachers, and students have been putting a lot of
time, attention, and hard work into building an outdoor classroom for their
children. Those involved have done everything imaginable to make this project a reality; from calling on skilled students and teachers at the high school,
fundraising, advertising, and giving up free time to help the classroom take
shape. Pictured here are students Matthew Blythe and Mallory Blythe, showing off the newest addition to the outdoor classroom project. The sidewalk
they are sitting on is decorated with special bricks that have been donated
by businesses, relatives, and other members of the community. The bricks are
engraved with messages and names in honor of those who pitched in to help.
The sidewalk isn’t quite finished though, so if you would like to donate to this
worthy cause, please visit the Bennetts Valley School Page which can be found

Panthers roll by Steelers in preseason finale 23-6
PITTSBURGH (AP) —
Jordan Todman ran for a long
touchdown and Carolina’s defense shut down the Pittsburgh
Steelers backups in a 23-6 win
on Thursday night in the preseason finale for both teams.
Todman had a 49-yard
sprint in the second quarter and
Joe Webb found tight end Marcus Lucas for a 23-yard score
just before the half as the Panthers rolled. Carolina finished
up a 3-1 preseason by outgaining the Steelers 454-191.
Pittsburgh ended an extended exhibition season just
1-4 and has a week to prepare for defending Super Bowl
champion New England and
quarterback Tom Brady, whose
four-game suspension for his
role in “Deflategate” was over-
turned by a judge on Thursday.
Most of the starters who will
take the field in Week 1 didn’t
play in this one if they bothered
to get in uniform at all.
Steelers quarterback Ben
Roethlisberger donned a baseball cap and a T-shirt. Carolina counterpart Cam Newton
pulled over his No. 1 jersey to
warm up, but did little else as
the two division winners a year
ago tried to sort out things at
the bottom of their 53-man rosters.
Derek
Anderson,
who
signed a contract extension on
Wednesday to remain Newton’s
primary backup through 2017,
completed 4 of 7 passes for 35
yards. Webb went 12 of 17 for
193 yards, including a pretty
throw to Lucas for a touchdown
to cap a 10-play, 80-yard drive
with 5 seconds left in the first
half.
The Panthers have struggled running the ball at times
during the preseason, coming
in with just 276 yards rushing
in their first three games. They
nearly matched it against Pittsburgh, piling up 226 behind
Todman and rookie Cameron
Artis-Payne. Todman led Carolina with 72 yards on the ground,
including his scoring dash in the
second quarter in which he took
a draw from Webb and raced
nearly untouched to the end
zone. Artis-Payne ran 12 times
for 67 yards.
Newly acquired Carolina
wide receiver Kevin Norwood
caught two passes for 40 yards
just days after arriving in a trade
with Seattle. The Panthers are
in serious need of depth at wideout after losing Kelvin Benjamin
and Stephen Hill for the season
with torn ACLs.
Steelers quarterback Michael Vick completed 3 of 5 passes for 24 yards and was sacked
three times. Martavis Bryant
had one reception for 10 yards
in his final performance before
serving a four-game suspension
to start the regular season for
violating the NFL’s substance
abuse policy.
The only real competition
for a starting spot in Pittsburgh
is at punter, where fellow Australians Brad Wing and Jordan
Berry have been locked in a tight
battle for the better part of six
months. Berry received the majority of the work in the finale,
averaging 50.6 yards on five
kicks with Wing’s one kick going
46 yards.
Pittsburgh’s only points
came on a pair of field goals by
Josh Scobee, brought over from
Jacksonville on Monday following a hamstring injury to Garrett Hartley. All three of Scobee’s
kickoffs went through the end
zone.
The Panthers get 10 days to
prep for the regular-season opener at Jacksonville on Sept. 13.
The Steelers begin the league’s
most difficult schedule in New
England next Thursday, where
Brady will await now that “Deflategate” appears to have gone
in his favor. Pittsburgh is 0-3
on the road against the Patriots
with Brady under center, losing
by an average of 20.3 points.
Crusader golfers beat Kane Jungmann, Santana, Brewers
By Jim Mulcahy
Staff Writer
The Elk County Catholic Crusader golf team
raised their record to 2-1
on the season with a 230237 victory over the Kane
Wolves Thursday afternoon at the Kane Country
Club.
“It was a good win
on an away course. Once
again our scores were very
consistent with five scores
between 45-47. Now what
we need to do is work on
getting a score or two in
the high 30s and the other
four 41-44,” said ECCHS
coach Aaron Straub.
Jamie Rook of the
Wolves was the medalist
for the day with his 35.
For the Crusaders,
Jonah Meyer and Gabe
Kraus led the way with
45s. They were followed
by Brady Schneider 46,
Ross Martin and Tyler
Wehler with 47s. Ryan
Newton carded a 50, Nathan Schlosser 51 and
Nick Daghir 58.
Behind Rook for Kane
were Christo Park and
Conor Crowley with 47s,
Alex Rezelle 51, Dylan
Keller 57, Ben Holt 71
and Devon Bright 73.
“We have a good
stretch where we can
work hard on the range
and putting green in
preparation for our next
match,” said Straub.
Elk Catholic returns
to action next Wednesday when they travel to
Brockway for a 3:30 p.m.
match.
beat Pirates for 6th time in row
MILWAUKEE (AP) —
Taylor Jungmann pitched
six strong innings and the
Milwaukee Brewers swept
Pittsburgh 5-3 Thursday
night, beating the Pirates
for the sixth straight time.
The three losses at
Miller Park dropped the Pirates 6½ games behind the
NL Central-leading Cardinals. Pittsburgh opens
a three-game series at St.
Louis on Friday night.
Domingo Santana homered for Milwaukee, which
has outscored the Pirates
39-18 during its run. The
fourth-place Brewers play
four times at PNC Park
next week.
Jungmann (9-5) gave
up one run and three hits.
In three starts against the
Pirates this season, he is
3-0 with a 1.35 ERA in 20
innings.
Jungmann struggled
early, throwing 50 pitches
in the first two innings. He
walked a batter, hit another and threw a wild pitch in
the second.
Francisco
Rodriguez
closed for his 33rd save in
34 chances.
Francisco Liriano (9-7)
took the loss. He gave up an
RBI double to Khris Davis
in the fifth that gave Milwaukee a 2-1 lead.
Milwaukee added two
more runs in the sixth, the
first on Hernan Perez’s triple. Elian Herrera followed
with what initially was
ruled a two-run homer, but
was changed to a double after an umpire’s crew chief
review.
Jordy Mercer and Jung
Ho Kang drove in runs
in the seventh to cut the
Brewers’ lead to 4-3.
Moore’s 2 INTs lift Gamecocks
past Tar Heels 17-13
Pitt-Bradford volleyball has high
CHARLOTTE,
N.C.
(AP) — South Carolina
linebacker Skai Moore had
a gut feeling Marquise Williams was going to throw
into the middle of the end
zone with the game on the
line.
So he dropped back
into coverage and waited,
all the while watching the
eyes of the North Carolina
quarterback.
It turns out Moore
gambled right.
Moore intercepted Williams’ pass on a fourth and
goal from the 8-yard line
with 3:48 left in the game to
help seal South Carolina’s
17-13 win over North Carolina on Thursday night.
“We were hype about
(being in that situation),”
Moore said. “We were like,
it’s our time and we have
to prove to the world and
show them what type of defense we are.”
It was Moore’s second interception of game
— both coming in the end
zone.
The Gamecocks intercepted Williams three
times on the night and
registered four sacks. For
Moore it was the eighth
and ninth interceptions of
his career. He also finished
with a team-high 10 tackles.
Williams finished 19 of
31 for 232 yards and one
touchdown.
“I knew better than to
do that,” Williams said of
the turnovers. “I’ll bounce
back stronger next week.
It was great to be back
home, but it was sad that
I couldn’t come away with
the victory, how I wanted it
to be and make a statement
from the first game.”
Elijah Hood led UNC
with 138 yards on 12 carries and Bug Howard had
six catches for 114 yards,
including a 21-yard touchdown reception.
But North Carolina
coach Larry Fedora inexplicably took Hood out of the
game when the Tar Heels
reached the South Carolina
9 with the game on the line.
“I have to go back and
look at the calls of what we
were doing down there,”
Fedora said.
South Carolina coach
Steve Spurrier said he felt
“fortunate” to escape with
a win.
“We’re not strutting out
of here like we’re hot stuff,
that’s for sure,” Spurrier

The Gamecocks trailed
13-10 in the fourth quarter
when third-string running
back Shon Carson entered
the game and made an
immediate impact, racing
around right end for a 48yard go-ahead touchdown
with 12:45 left in the game.
The Gamecocks kept
going to Carson on the next
drive, running right on almost every play. Carson finished with 75 yards on four

hopes in Roof’s first season at the helm
BRADFORD — Tom
Roof, who is entering
his first season as head
coach of the University
of Pittsburgh at Bradford
volleyball team, admits
the first year will be a
transition year. However,
with a combination of key
returners and a strong
recruiting class, the Panthers are set to reload –
not rebuild.
Pitt-Bradford opens
the 2015 campaign tonight at the University of
Scranton Tournament.
“We understand this
is a transition year, but
that doesn’t mean we’re
conceding anything,” Roof
said. “There’s going to be
no training time for the
freshmen. They’re being
thrown right into it, but
I have no problem doing
that. We know they can
play. That’s why we recruited them so heavily.”
Roof will be relying
heavily on a strong group
of returners, including
middle hitters Kaitlin McCann and Brittany Watts.
The Panthers also return
hitters Erin Fagan and
Melanie Yanetsko.
Watts and McCann
were among the team
leaders in kills last season
and are expected to play a
huge role in any success
the Panthers hope to enjoy.
“Kaitlin is super quick
in the middle and gets on
top of the ball well. She’s
also a tremendous blocker,” Roof said. “Erin has
been working hard on her
technique, and I think she
will have a much better
kill percentage this year.
Melanie gives us a legitimate threat on the right
side of the court.”
Megan Geary takes
over as the team’s setter
in her junior season, while
the Panthers also return
defensive specialists Jenessa Ceprish and Emily
Reitz.
Roof believes the rest
of the team can be categorized into two groups
– freshmen and transfers.
He believes if they can
contribute, the team will
be successful.
The four freshmen

are hitters Kirsten Platz,
Chelsea Oynech and Alexis Dhayer, as well as defensive specialist Hailey
Black. The transfers are
hitters Mandy Finch and
Alma Turpin, as well as
setter Christina Rauh.
“Our freshmen have
to show us they belong.
I don’t have any doubts
they will be able to contribute for us this season,
but the reality is, it’s a different game at this level.
It’s faster and more demanding,” Roof said. “As
for our transfers, many of
them were very successful
at their previous schools
and will be able to help us
right away.”
Sierra Rose and Carley Kriner are also expected to contribute this
season.
“Both have been on
campus and decided to
come out this year,” Roof
said. “I am glad they did
because they have been
great additions. Both
know the game and come
from strong high school
programs.”
Although it is Roof ’s
first year as the head
coach, he has been an assistant with the program
for six seasons. His expectations won’t be any different than they were in
the past.
“The expectations are
always high with this pro-
gram,” Roof said. “We’re
deeper than we’ve ever
been. We just have to find
the right combination of
players and the sooner we
can do that, the better we
will be. The competition is
making for great practices. We just have to make
sure we carry that onto
the court in the regular
season.”
Roof feels getting out
to a quick start will be another key to success this
season.
“I’d love a good start
to give us some momentum heading into conference play,” Roof said. “Our
schedule won’t be easy,
though. We are in three
very good tournaments at
Scranton, Lycoming and
Wooster. Conference play
will be tough as well. I’m
not sure the conference
has ever been stronger
from top to bottom.”
Roof is hoping the
hard work and motivation
to succeed will pay off for
his team this fall.
“We have a strong
drive to succeed, and our
goals are pushing us to
get better every single
day,” Roof said. “This is a
very motivated team that
is working hard to achieve
something special. If we
keep that up, the success
we crave will come.”

Judge sides with Brady on
‘Deflategate,’ NFL appeals
NEW YORK (AP)
— Tom Brady learned
Thursday he will start the
season on the field after a
judge lifted the league’s
four-game suspension of
the star quarterback for a
scandal over deflated footballs, saying he was treated unfairly by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
The league quickly appealed.
U.S. District Judge
Richard M. Berman criticized Goodell for dispensing “his own brand of
industrial justice” as he
found multiple reasons to
reject the suspension one
week before New England’s Sept. 10 opener
against the Pittsburgh
Steelers.
The Super Bowl MVP
has insisted he played no
role in a conspiracy to deflate footballs below the
allowable limit at last
season’s AFC championship game, a 45-7 rout of
the Indianapolis Colts.
The judge cited “several significant legal deficiencies” in the league’s
handling of the controversy, including no advance
notice of potential penalties, a refusal to produce
a key witness and the
apparent first-ever discipline of a player based
on a finding of “general
awareness” of someone
else’s wrongdoing.
“Because there was
no notice of a four-game
suspension in the circumstances presented here,
Commissioner
Goodell
may be said to have ‘dispensed his own brand of
industrial justice,’” Berman wrote, partially citing wording from a previ-
ous case.
He said a player’s
right to know what constitutes violations and what
penalties are was “at the
heart” of the collective
bargaining
agreement
“and, for that matter, of
our criminal and civil justice systems.”
“The court finds that
Brady had no notice that
he could receive a fourgame suspension for general awareness of ball
deflation by others,” the
judge wrote.
Goodell said it was
necessary to appeal “to
uphold the collectively
bargained responsibility
to protect the integrity of
the game.”
He called the need to
secure the game’s competitive fairness “a paramount principle.”
Hours after Goodell
issued his statement, the
league appealed to the
2nd U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals in Manhattan
with a one-page notice
from NFL attorney Daniel
Nash.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the
league would not seek an
emergency stay, freeing
Brady to play while the
case is appealed. It could
be months before the
court considers the case,
since the league would
have to show it would suffer irreparable harm to
speed up the timetable.
Goodell will also skip
the
Steelers-Patriots
opener next week, opting
instead to watch the game
on TV and attend another
opener over the weekend,
McCarthy said. McCarthy
said Goodell wants the
focus to be on the game
itself and New England’s
celebration of its Super
Bowl win.
The union’s executive director, DeMaurice
Smith, said in a statement the ruling proves
the contract with the NFL
doesn’t grant Goodell “the
authority to be unfair, arbitrary and misleading.”
Patriots owner Robert Kraft called Brady
a “classy person of the
highest integrity” and
the penalty against him
“unwarranted and unprecedented discipline.”
He said the ruling was
thoughtful.
Berman
said
the
league was wrong to discipline Brady as if a deflating ball accusation
was equal to using performance enhancing drugs.
Brady was also denied
equal access to investigative files, including witness interview notes, and
wasn’t permitted to question one of two lead investigators, the judge said.
The Patriots, who
were fined $1 million
and stripped of two draft
picks, posted a celebratory photo on Twitter of
Brady pumping his fist
and screaming at the Super Bowl last season.
The ruling was a surprise to some legal experts
who believed Berman was
merely pressuring the
league to settle at two
hearings when he criticized its handling of the
investigation over the last
eight months.
The league brought
the case to court within
minutes of Goodell upholding Brady’s suspen-
sion, blasting the quarterback for arranging
the destruction of his
cellphone and its nearly
10,000 messages just before he was interviewed
for the NFL probe. The
union countersued.
The league spent more
than $3 million for its investigation by prominent
attorney Ted Wells, who
had previously conducted
NFL probes. While Wells’
243-page report found it
was “more probable than
not” that two Patriots ball
handling employees deliberately released air from
Patriots game balls at the
AFC championship game,
it cited no direct evidence
that Brady knew about or
authorized it.
Goodell, though, went
“far beyond” Wells’ report,
Berman said, finding in
late July that Brady conspired with the ball handlers and tried to obstruct
the league’s probe, including by destroying his cellphone.
The
commissioner
said he concluded Brady
“knew about, approved
of, consented to, and provided inducements and
rewards” to ensure balls
were deflated.
Berman attacked the
league while questioning
one of its lawyers at two
hearings. He had repeatedly urged both sides to
settle and tone down rhetoric. At a hearing Monday
attended by Brady and
Goodell, the judge announced that both sides
had “tried quite hard”
unsuccessfully to reach a
deal.
Down 2 sets to none, Murray
comes back to win at US Open
NEW YORK (AP) —
Before they stepped on
court, there was nothing
to suggest Andy Murray
would have any trouble
against Adrian Mannarino
in the U.S. Open’s second
round.
Murray, after all, is
seeded No. 3, owns two major championships including at Flushing Meadows
in 2012, and had reached
at least the quarterfinals
at the last 18 Grand Slam
tournaments he’d entered.
Mannarino,
meanwhile,
is ranked 35th, has never
won a tour-level title, and
only three times in his career has even managed to
win more than one match
at a major.
So it certainly came
as a surprise when, in
Thursday’s opening game,
Mannarino broke Murray.
About an hour later, Mannarino grabbed the opening set. And 45 minutes
after that, the Frenchman
took the second set, too.
“I just had to kind of
tell myself that I would
get there eventually,” Murray said. “I had time to get
back into it.”
Despite a stuffy nose
and scratchy throat, and
generally looking as if he
might be ready to wilt on
another steamy day at
Flushing Meadows — two
more mid-match retirements, including by 28th-
seeded Jack Sock of the
United States, raised the
total to 12 in the men’s
draw so far — Murray put
together his eighth career
comeback from a two-set
deficit and beat Mannarino 5-7, 4-6, 6-1, 6-3, 6-1.
“He was looking for his
rhythm,” Mannarino said,
“and then I think that finally he found it.”
Roger Federer had his
rhythm from the start,
compiling a 46-8 edge in
winners while beating
Steve Darcis of Belgium
6-1, 6-2, 6-1 at night, before 2014 runner-up Caroline Wozniacki was to meet
Petra Cetkovska in the
day’s last match.
Against Murray, Mannarino, a lefty, delivered 12
of the match’s first 14 forehand winners and repeatedly found success with
drop shots.
But his play eventually dipped, while Murray
really cleaned up his own
act after the rough start:
He went from making 21
unforced errors in the first
two sets to only 14 the rest
of the way.
“He has such an unorthodox game, I didn’t really feel that comfortable
at many points,” Murray
said. “But I was happy,
very happy, with the way
I fought through that, finished the match stronger
than him.”

Early in the fourth
set, Murray doubled over
and rested his hands on
his knees after a couple of
points, the sort of thing the
Brit has been known to do
during matches — appearing weary or injured yet
able to still play well.
“Who knows? Maybe
he (is) — not faking — but
sometimes (feeling) tired,
even if he’s not,” Mannarino said.
Murray’s explanation?
“That’s, I think, what
a lot of people do when
they’re out of breath or
tired,” he said.
Sock took the opening
two sets against 107thranked Ruben Bemelmans
of Belgium and was three
games away from winning in the third, but his
body seized up because
of cramps, unable to deal
with the heat that topped
90 degrees (32 Celsius).
In a scary scene early
in the fourth set, less than
two hours in, Sock froze
in place, his legs locked. A
trainer helped the 22-yearold American sit down near
the baseline, and Sock appeared to have trouble
even extending his arm
when Bemelmans walked
around the net and leaned
over for a handshake.
“I didn’t have too
much difficulty,” said Bemelmans, who will face
French Open champion
Stan Wawrinka next.
Sock didn’t hold a news
conference, instead releasing a statement that called
his retirement “extremely
disappointing.”
There are only two
American men remaining of the 16 who were in
the draw: No. 13 John Isner and unseeded Donald
Young.
“It’s tough to see,”
Isner said about Sock’s
cramping. “It’s not a fitness thing. I think that’s
a big, big misconception.
He’s in very good shape.
He can play 50-ball rallies if he wants to. But he
sweats a lot. ... His body
was at a deficit of whatever it is — sodium, magnesium, potassium.”
Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan stopped playing
against 20th-seeded Dominic Thiem of Austria, citing an injured right leg.
Including two retirements by women, 14 players have stopped playing
during matches because
of injury or illness, tying
the 2011 U.S. Open for the
most through the first two
rounds at a Grand Slam
tournament.
“Maybe it’s the end of
the year — players are not
as fit ... as in the beginning
of the year,” Bemelmans
said. “It’s the humidity, the
heat — it’s all these combinations.”

Pitt quarterback Voytik
eyeing expanded
role for Panthers
PITTSBURGH (AP) —
Chad Voytik isn’t offended
by the term “game manager,” though the Pittsburgh
quarterback might be the
only one.
He’s cool with the label as the guy whose main
job is to hand off to running back James Conner or
throw to wide receiver Tyler
Boyd and get the heck out
of the way.
Press him on it and
Voytik responds by working
the word “manager” into
answers, sounding more
like employee No. 1 than
the potential X-factor on a
team seeking forward momentum after four straight
years of finishing 6-7 or 7-6.
“I’m OK with whatever,” Voytik said. “I’m a roll
with the punches kind of
guy.”
Consider it a defense
mechanism developed from
having to quiet doubters
who wonder how a largely nondescript 6-foot-1,
215-pound player found
himself in charge of an offense that has two dynamic
players in Boyd and Conner
who are on the fast track to
the NFL.
“I have no problem with
them getting recognition
and I’m just the guy getting
them the ball,” Voytik said.
“If that comes with personal recognition as well, so be
it but that’s not what I’m
after.”
Voytik’s journey is about
respect, not for himself but
for his program. The Panthers were picked to finish
sixth in the jumbled ACC
Coastal Division under Pat
Narduzzi, whose initial season at Pitt begins on Saturday against Youngstown
State. Voytik is fine in the
underdog role, mainly because he doesn’t feel like
much of one anymore. The
nerves that he felt before
his first collegiate start last
fall have been replaced by
something more akin to excitement and confidence.
“I’m more anxious for
the game ready to prove
people wrong and stuff,” he
said. “We feel like we can do
better than what they projected for us.”
To get there the Panthers will need Voytik to be
less indifferent and more of
a difference maker. He was
steady if not spectacular as
a sophomore, throwing for
2,233 yards and 16 touchdowns against just seven interceptions while twice going over 100 yards rushing
thanks to some surprising
mobility. He spent a portion
of the offseason refining
his mechanics, working out
at the Manning Passing
Academy and focusing on
increased flexibility to help
with his accuracy after he
completed just 61 percent
of his throws in 2014.
Toss in the natural
maturation expected from
a player with a full season
to draw from and an innovative offensive coordinator who knows something
about getting the best out
of undersized quarterbacks
and Voytik is at peace with
who he is — and who he
isn’t — as a player.
“From studying the
game you’re going to get
better, as long as you don’t
get too much info where it
bogs you down,” he said. “I
feel like I know more about
the game.”
It kind of comes with
the territory when sitting in
a room next to Jim Chaney,
the folksy and well-traveled
coordinator whose former
pupils include Drew Brees,
who like Voytik doesn’t exactly have a commanding
physical presence. Comparing Voytik to Brees isn’t fair,
but Chaney — unlike Voytik — takes exception to the
idea Voytik is an automaton
with limited capability.
“He can make the
passes I’m asking him to
make and when the play
breaks down he can go and
be a football player, which
I like,” Chaney said. “I like
his ad-lib ability.”
Something Chaney is
encouraging Voytik to embrace. When the two first
met over the winter, Chaney
was concerned Voytik was
too much of a perfectionist,
something that can become
counterproductive in a
game with so many moving
parts. Chaney told Voytik to
relax a little bit and not get
caught up in the minutiae
that comes from being a notorious micromanager.
“I think he’s becoming
a little bit like me, slappy,”
Chaney said, “meaning he’s
learning that it’s OK, you
don’t have to be perfect to
make a play.”
Letting go of old habits isn’t easy, yet Voytik is
learning to adapt. Hey, it’s
what he does.
“Of course I want to
put the ball exactly where
it needs to be,” Voytik said.
“But little things like that
where it would have frustrated me (before), (now
it’s) hey we’re moving the
chains, let’s keep it rolling
and stay positive.”

Giants’ Lincecum facing 5
months of rehab after surgery
DENVER (AP) — San
Francisco Giants pitcher
Tim Lincecum had surgery
on his left hip Thursday and
will need five months of rehab to be ready for the 2016
season.
The operation on the
two-time National League
Cy Young Award winner was
performed in Vail, Colo., by
Dr. Marc Philippon. Before
the Giants began a series
with the Colorado Rockies,
Giants trainer Dave Groeschner said Philippon “was
pretty confident he’ll get
back to major league pitching for next season.”
Groeschner said Philippon repaired Lincecum’s
torn left hip labrum during
the arthroscopic procedure
and addressed a hip impingement or bone build-up
that had occurred over time
and was the biggest source
of discomfort for the pitcher.
“I’m glad we did something,” Giants manager
Bruce Bochy said. “It’s going
to give Timmy a little peace
of mind to get this behind
him”
Lincecum will begin
range of motion exercises
Friday, Groeschner said, and
remain in Vail before traveling to Scottsdale, Arizona,
early next week and begin
working there with the Giants’ physical therapist.
Lincecum, 31, went 7-4
with a 4.13 ERA in 76 1/3
innings this season in 15
starts, the last on June 27.
“Timmy was battling to
try and get back to pitch this
year,” Groeschner said. “He
was working really hard. He
took a couple cortisone shots
six weeks ago. As he continued along to try and throw
off the mound and get back
and get out there, it just
wasn’t working.
“He did everything he
could to try and avoid (surgery). He wants to get back
to being Tim Lincecum. He
wanted to get this done now,
so he can do that.”
Lincecum was the first
player to win back-to-back
NL Cy Young Awards in
his first two full seasons
— 2008 and 2009. But he
has struggled the past four
seasons, going 39-42 with a
4.68 ERA. In this, the final
season of a two-year, $35
million contract, Lincecum
is making $18 million. He
will be a free agent after the
season.
Bochy is hopeful Lincecum returns to the Giants,
recognizing that decision
rests with the front office.
“I love Timmy,” Bochy
said. “ A great teammate, we
all know what Timmy has
done for the Giants. My door
will always be open for Tim
Lincecum. That’s how much
I think about him. That’s
a decision that’s made on
the baseball side obviously
with everybody. I appreciate
what he’s done in my time
that I’ve had to this point
with him. It doesn’t mean
that won’t continue.”
INSPECTIONS
Items to include in your automotive emergency kit
Road trips can make for
great weekend getaways or even
more lengthy vacations for those
who can’t get enough of the open
road. But before embarking on
any road trips, motorists should
replenish their automotive emergency kits with the following
items so they are fully prepared
in the event of an accident or an
injury.
• First-aid kit: A first-aid kit
can treat cuts and abrasions suffered while you are out of the
car and even some minor injuries
that may result if you are in a car
accident. Include essential items
like adhesive tape, antibiotic ointment, antiseptic wipes, aspirin,
bandages, a cold compress, gauze,
and scissors. Visit www.redcross.
org for a more extensive list of
items to include in your first-aid
kit, which should be kept in your
car at all times.
• Tools: It’s important to
include tools in your automotive emergency kit. While a full
toolbox might be unnecessary,
bring along an adjustable wrench,
a flat head and Phillips screwdriver, a pair of pliers, a tire jack
and crow bar, an ice scraper, and
a flashlight. Extra roadside flares
and reflectors also should be
packed should you need to pull
over and address an automotive
problem, such as a flat tire. Keep
a tire pressure gauge in your
glove compartment or with your
other tools so you can check tire
pressure if you feel your car is
not operating as smoothly as it
normally does.
• Fluids: While it’s best to
check all of your vehicle’s fluids before beginning a road trip,
it does not hurt to bring along
some extra fluids just in case you
start to run low while out on the
road. Fluids to pack include motor oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, and
windshield washer fluid. Include
a funnel with these items so you
can easily pour them in should
you be running low. Pack an
empty spray bottle as well so you
have something to spray washer
fluid from if a problem arises with
your wiper blades.
• Wiper blades: Include
an extra set of wiper blades in
your automotive emergency kit.
Maintaining wiper blades is an
oft-overlooked component of vehicle maintenance, so bring along
an extra set of blades should your
existing blades succumb to wear
and tear while you’re on the road.
• Miscellaneous items: Some
items that may not seem synonymous with road trips can come
in handy should you find yourself
in an emergency. Pack a blanket
so you and your passengers can
stay warm should your car break
down at night. In addition, pack
some energy bars and bottled
water so no one gets too hungry
or thirsty while waiting for help
to arrive. It’s also good to keep
a pair of work gloves in your car
so you can still use your tools
or change a tire when the temperatures dip or your hands get
sweaty on hot days.

about him being bisexual. He never told me about this part of his
past. Finally, I confronted him,
and he admitted this was just a
whim at a time in his life when
he was alone. He’s been divorced
for 43 years and claims he never
knew why his wife divorced him.
He now feels that, since he is
with me and the past desires are
no longer there, I should just forget about my disgusted feelings
and go on as if nothing was ever
said. His friends were the ones
who kept dropping these hints to
me, but of course, I ignored them
until now.
I don’t know if I should continue this relationship. He is 85
and I am 79. We don’t have sex,
since he has erectile dysfunction
and his desires have diminished.
-- Worrying Winnie
Dear Winnie: What is it that
you want from this relationship?
Whatever is in this man’s past
does not need to affect your future. Someone who is bisexual is
attracted to both men and women. If this were a sexual relationship, we might understand your
concerns. But you aren’t having
sex with him and have no plans
to do so. You don’t have to marry
him. You find him to be very enjoyable company. We don’t see a
problem. If you want to continue
spending time with him, go right
ahead.
Dear Annie: I have to reply
to “What Happened?” the distraught wife whose husband is
preoccupied with celebrities. You
said this isn’t uncommon and to
ask him to spend 15 minutes a
day looking into each other’s eyes
and listening to one another. Your
advice was a bit too soft for this
guy. His obsession is one of the
shallowest things I’ve heard in a
long time. He sounds like someone who needs to get a life, which
should include his wife.
This behavior needs to be
stopped cold turkey, not enabled.
It’s like an addiction. And it
makes a poor substitute for the
real things in life. Devoting so
much of his time to something
as empty as celebrity gossip is a
sign that something’s missing.
This man may need help to focus
on the special someone who cares
who he is -- his wife. -- Regular
Person in Phoenix
Dear Phoenix: We agree
that a fixation on celebrities is ridiculously shallow, but have you
looked at your TV, computer and
newspaper lately? We are bombarded daily with celebrity news,
celebrity updates, celebrity babies, celebrity divorces, celebrity
clothes -- there’s no escape from it
unless you live in a cave.
This is a mild addiction (and
we suspect most women whose
husbands are addicted to golf or
fishing would swap in a heartbeat). If her husband can spend at
least 15 minutes a day really connecting with his wife, it will help
enormously. If he cannot do that
much, counseling is always useful, but he must be willing to go.

CROSSWORD By Eugene Sheffer
For Saturday, Sept. 5, 2015
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
You are powerful today, which is why
you see ways to introduce reforms at work.
And likewise, you can see ways to improve
your health.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
This is a good day to perhaps teach
children something. Others might see ways
to change, modify or revamp an artistic production.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
Use your energy to make improvements at home today. First, start off by getting rid of what you don’t need. Sell it, give it
away, recycle it or turf it. Streamline!
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
You are powerful today, which is why
you can convince anyone of practically anything. Use this to get something done, but
don’t take advantage of it.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
You might see new ways to earn
money or to make money on the side. You
also might see a way to get a new job, because you’re in a resourceful frame of mind
today.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
You might attract someone very
powerful to you today. (“Hi, Darth.”) It’s as if
you have a magnetic energy, and you might
not even be aware of it.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
This is a great day to do research
of any kind. If you’re looking for answers or
solutions to a puzzle or problem, you’ll find
them; you have the mind of a sleuth today.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
This is a good day to be involved
with a group, perhaps a charitable group that
wants to make improvements in society or
your immediate environment.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
You will impress someone in authority with your sense of purpose and power
today. You sound like you know what you’re
talking about, and you look like you know
where you’re going.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
You have some power today, especially when discussing lofty, philosophical,
religious or political ideas. People will believe
you, because you are convincing.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
This is a good day to renegotiate
something to do with shared property, inheritances or debt. You see a better way to
restructure a previous agreement.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
You will face someone powerful today, probably a close friend or partner, who
wants the last word on something. As long
as it benefits everyone, it’s OK, isn’t it?
YOU BORN TODAY You are
imaginative and like to use your mind in a
playful, fun-loving way. You get caught up in
whatever you’re doing. You give it your all.
This is a testing year of growth and building.
This growth will occur beneath the surface.
Do not make major changes yet -- wait until
next year. Strengthen your financial position
by reducing your overhead.
Birthdate of: Michael Keaton, actor;
Vincent Lam, author; Rose McGowan, actress.

$2.4 million in licensing fees the annual license renewal
Over the last five years,
to 1,382 municipalities in
which licensees are located.
Twice a year, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control
Board returns the renewal
or validation fees paid by
licensees to the municipalities that are home to those
liquor licenses. Though required by law, the Liquor
Code does not specify how
municipalities must allocate
the returned money, giving
local officials the flexibility
to use it where it is needed
most.
The PLCB oversees
the regulation of more than
or validation process, licensees and permitees pay a fee
ranging from $125 to $700.
That fee is based on the type
of license and population of
the municipality in which
the license is located.
The current dispersal
period represents fees paid
from Feb. 1 to July 31, 2015.
In all, 56 cities, 558 boroughs and 768 townships
received funds ranging from
$25 to $392,175.
To see the complete list
of municipalities receiving fee distributions, visit

the PLCB has returned
more than $22 million in licensing fees to local municipalities.
The PLCB regulates
the distribution of beverage alcohol and also operates more than 600 wine
and spirits stores statewide.
Taxes and store profits are
returned to Pennsylvania’s
General Fund. Since its inception, the PLCB has contributed nearly $14 billion to
the Pennsylvania Treasury.
