Influx of kindergarteners calls for changes at SSMSE
By Amy Cherry
Staff Writer
On Thursday, South St.
Marys Street Elementary's newest students participated in the
school's annual kindergarten
orientation, complete with classroom tours, a bus ride, and a
teacher meet and greet.
The school is experiencing an
influx of kindergarten students
this year as compared to past
years.
The school typically allots for
100 kindergarteners, however
this year that number has significantly increased to 123, expanding the class's four sections into
six sections.
Rather than hiring new kindergarten teachers, the school
conducted "internal sliding,"
moving SSMSE teachers Amy
Belovesick, a former third grade
teacher, and Diane Spiga, a former fourth and fifth grade teacher, to new roles in kindergarten.
SSMSE Principal Chrissy
Kuhar said both have "primary
grade knowledge, exposure and
experience in those areas that
were looking forward to an opportunity to return to the primary years."
Additional
kindergarten
teachers this year are Sheila
Bauer, Maureen Gorman, Becca
Krug and Tracy Covac.
The new sections resulted
in a new hire which they shifted

PITTSBURGH (AP) — An
autopsy report for a transplant
patient who contracted a fungal
infection while at the University
of Pittsburgh Medical Center
indicates he suffered from the
same type of mold linked to other
deaths.
A UPMC spokeswoman had
said the death of Daniel Krieg
was not directly related to the
fungal infection but was caused
by pneumonia. Krieg, 56, became
the fifth known UPMC patient
with a fungal infection to die since
2014 amid a federal investigation
into mold cases at the health system's facilities.

Sanders' wife defends non-disclosure, vacation home buy
MONTPELIER, Vt.
(AP) — Sen. Bernie Sanders has pushed hard for
transparency on U.S.
trade and campaign finance, but has been far
less aggressive in disclosing his own personal finances.
Now his wife and
campaign
confidante,
Jane O'Meara Sanders,
is defending the senator's
decision not to file a candidate personal finance
disclosure and talking
about the purchase of a
new vacation home.
Sanders and his campaign asked the Federal
Election Commission for
two 45-day extensions,
in mid-May and late
June, on filing the personal finance disclosures
candidates are usually
required to produce, and
then decided not to file at
all once he dropped out
of the race and endorsed
Democratic presidential
nominee Hillary Clinton,
Jane Sanders confirmed
Thursday.
"I guess our campaign
just said 'why bother',"
said the wife of the Vermont independent senator who challenged Clinton for the Democratic
nomination.
FEC officials confirmed Sanders was excused from filing after
dropping out of the race.
Jane Sanders said
the disclosure would
have been very similar to
personal finance reports
Sanders has filed annually as a U.S. senator.
"There's no new information," she said.
Sanders, a champion
of transparency in other
realms, came under some
criticism Thursday for
not applying the same
principle to himself.
Richard Skinner, a
policy analyst with the
Sunlight Foundation, a
Washington-based protransparency group, said
the FEC "may have been
a little too generous" with
the deadline extensions it
allowed for Sanders. "It
sure looks like the Sanders campaign abused
this," Skinner said.
On another financial matter, Jane Sanders said she and her
husband paid cash —
$575,000 — for the fourbedroom summer house
they recently bought in
North Hero, Vermont,
on the Lake Champlain
shore. She said she sold
her share of her family's
long-time vacation home
in Bridgeton, Maine, to
her brother for $150,000,
added some money from
her retirement account
and from an advance her
husband got on a book
he is writing to come up
with the money to buy
the couple's third home.
They also own property in Burlington, Vermont, and Washington,
D.C.
been relocated to allow
the kindergarten rooms
to be in close proximity to
restrooms.
"I'm so glad the district had agreed to take
that sixth section and
that we knew before the
year ended so we were
able to plan appropriately
for that classroom," Kuhar said.
She added the decision saved staff from
scrambling at the end of
the summer in an effort to
re-format the kindergarten class. Changes were
relatively minimal consisting of properly supplying the rooms and outfitting them with tables
and chairs, which were
obtained from the school's
storage supply.
According to Kuhar,
the district had no indication of a growth spurt in
the kindergarten class.
Staff annually reviews
census data to anticipate
any major fluctuations in
incoming class size, however the data showed no
signs of such a change.
Each class will average 20-21 students.
"Developmentally as
they grow they need much
more of a smaller student
to teacher ratio in the elementary years simply
because they are only just
learning formal instruction, routines, etc.," Kuhar explained. "We would
want to maximize a lower
student to teacher ratio in
the earlier years that may
begin to increase in the
later years."
Staff originally considered a student teacher
ratio of 18:1 which turned
into 21:1.
The school will likely
encounter additional internal sliding of staff as
the Class of 2029 advances in grade level.
"Each and every year
we will examine the numbers and we will look to
see how many sections
will best serve the population of students," Kuhar said. "We also want
to look at the student to
teacher ratio."
There are currently
five fourth grade sections
at SSMSE with 24-26
students in each class.
Kuhar stated there is a
likelihood that if the current kindergarten class
size remains the same the
class will eventually shift
into a five-section grade
level rather than a sixsection class.
Average
classroom
size at SSMSE is between
23-26 students per class.
Orientation took place
Thursday at 10 a.m. and 6
p.m. Volunteers from the
SSMSE Parents Teacher
Organization (PTO) as-
sisted at the event distributing different color
T-shirts to students which
correspond to their classroom. The PTO is hosting
a Popsicles in the Play-
ground event on Friday,
Aug. 26 at Luhr Park on
Chestnut Street.
SSMSE's
annual
Open House event is taking place Sept. 1.

Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formaƩed as a
9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3
boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers
1 through 9 must Įll each row, column
and box. Each number can appear only
once in each row, column and box.
You can Įgure out the order in which

Stump for Trump and hot peppers
at Vito’s Hoagie House
I walked into Vito’s… “Harlan! Oh my gosh…I got to see Donald Trump! I saw him…look,” squealed Andrea Dornisch with
delight as she waved the photo she took of the “Don” in the air,
dancing all around the lunch counter [I love the way Andrea and
her hoagie-helpers greet their regulars]. Apparently, she made
her pilgrimage over to Altoona to hear Trump’s message live
this month. She will tell you a great story about a veteran in a
wheelchair that she was standing near, and how the flashy candidate made time to
greet that man [Very
nice]. I have noticed a
lot of his signs lately,
they’ll pop up then
go missing…then pop Harlan J. Beagley

up again. Please don’t
take someone’s Trump
or Hillary signs or any candidate’s signs
for that matter [That’s snake-belly low]. I
hope you folks are ready to vote. Are you
registered?
Quite frankly, I have had enough of this
election. The staffers behind both our candidates should be ashamed, the blatant
“character assassination” on both sides is
beneath us as a nation of honor. As you
may know, I worked at the Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper, so I have been
around Trump’s empire. He is brilliant
and he runs things well, I know that firsthand. However, before you go thinking I’m
taking sides or endorsing, I can say the
same thing about Hillary Clinton. I know
Andrea Dornisch “holding court” at everything about the former first lady. I

From what I have gleaned over the last
year, most of us are pretty smart here
in Elk County — make up your own minds on this matter. America is a business
and we need to take care of her. She’s not a funhouse or a big Holstein that needs
milked…she’s a business. Hire your next president based on just that — just my
thoughts. What are yours? Please write in your opinions and we will print those as

“2016 Sparks All-Star Senior Cheer Squad.” This Saturday is “Tag Day” in St.
Marys. That means the local cheerleading talent will be out in front of the local
stores shaking their donation cans and you will be giving them money [Smile].
From what I understand, the “Senior Cheer Squad” will be at Walmart in St.
Marys from 8 a.m. till about 4 p.m. Also on Saturday, the “Youth Cheer Team” will
be in front of the St. Marys Save-A-Lot store from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. “The teams will
be raising money to pay for their choreography, music and competition fees for the
season. This will save on individual fees that need to be paid per girl,” said Carrie
Singer, assistant coach [one of the squad mothers]. So make sure you are caring a
little cash this weekend.
“The Hip Hop Dance Team will be at Save-A-Lot on Aug. 27 with times to be announced,” added Carrie.

Today in History
Today is Friday, Aug.
19, the 232nd day of 2016.
There are 134 days left in
the year.
Today's Highlight in
History:
On Aug. 19, 1991, Soviet
hard-liners stunned the
world by announcing that
President Mikhail S. Gorbachev had been removed
from power. (The coup attempt collapsed two days
later.)
On this date:
In A.D. 14, Caesar Augustus, Rome's first emperor, died at age 76 after
a reign lasting four decades; he was succeeded by
his stepson Tiberius.
In 1812, the USS Constitution defeated the British frigate HMS Guerriere
off Nova Scotia during the
War of 1812, earning the
nickname "Old Ironsides."
In 1814, during the War
of 1812, British forces
landed at Benedict, Maryland, with the objective
of capturing Washington
D.C.
In 1918, "Yip! Yip!
Yaphank," a musical revue
by Irving Berlin featuring
Army recruits from Camp
Upton in Yaphank, New
York, opened on Broadway.
In 1934, a plebiscite in
Germany approved the
vesting of sole executive
power in Adolf Hitler.
In 1936, the first of a
series of show trials orchestrated by Soviet leader Josef Stalin began in
Moscow as 16 defendants
faced charges of conspiring
against the government
(all were convicted and executed).
In 1942, during World
War II, about 6,000 Canadian and British soldiers
launched a disastrous raid
against the Germans at
Dieppe, France, suffering
more than 50-percent casualties.
In 1955, torrential rains
caused by Hurricane Diane
resulted in severe flooding
in the northeastern U.S.,
claiming some 200 lives.
In 1964, The Beatles
opened their first fullfledged U.S. tour as they
performed at San Francisco's Cow Palace.
In
1976,
President
Gerald R. Ford won the
Republican
presidential
nomination at the party's
convention in Kansas City.
In 1980, 301 people
aboard a Saudi Arabian
L-1011 died as the jetliner
made a fiery emergency return to the Riyadh airport.
In 1991, rioting erupted in the Brooklyn, New
York,
Crown
Heights
neighborhood after a black
7-year-old, Gavin Cato,
was struck and killed by
a Jewish driver from the
ultra-Orthodox Lubavitch
community; three hours
later, a gang of blacks
fatally stabbed Yankel
Rosenbaum, a rabbinical
student.
Ten years ago: Israeli
commandos raided a Hezbollah stronghold deep in
Lebanon. (Israel said the
raid was launched to stop
arms smuggling from Iran
and Syria to the militant
Shiite fighters; Lebanon
called the operation a "flagrant violation" of a U.N.
truce.)
Five years ago: Three
men — Damien Echols,
Jason Baldwin and Jesse
Misskelley — who'd spent
nearly two decades in
prison for the nightmarish slayings of three Cub
Scouts in Arkansas, went
free after they agreed to
a legal maneuver allowing them to maintain their
innocence while acknowledging prosecutors had
enough evidence against
them. Danell Leyva beat
two-time defending champion Jonathan Horton for
his first title at the U.S.
gymnastics championships
in St. Paul, Minnesota.
One year ago: Longtime
Subway pitchman Jared
Fogle agreed in federal
court in Indianapolis to
plead guilty to allegations
that he'd paid for sex acts
with minors and received
child pornography. (Fogle
pleaded guilty in Nov.
2015 to one count each of
distributing and receiving
child porn and traveling
to engage in illicit sexual
conduct with a child, and
was sentenced to more
than 15 years in prison.)
Islamic State militants beheaded 81-year-old Khaled
al-Asaad, a leading Syrian
antiquities scholar who'd
spent most of his life looking after the ancient ruins
of Palmyra.

Obama administration
to phase out some
private prison use
WASHINGTON (AP)
— The Obama administration announced Thursday
it will phase out its use of
some private prisons, affecting thousands of federal inmates and immediately sending shares of the
two publicly traded prison
operators plunging.
In a memo to the Bureau of Prisons, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates
told it to start reducing
"and ultimately ending"
the Justice Department's
use of private prisons. The
announcement follows a
recent Justice Department
audit that found that the
private facilities have more
safety and security problems than government-run
ones.
The Obama administration says the declining
federal prison population
justifies the decision to
eventually close privately
run prisons. The federal
prison population — now
at 193,299 — has been
dropping due to changes in
federal sentencing policies
over the past three years.
Private prisons hold about
22,100 of these inmates, or
12 percent of the total population, the Justice Department said.
The policy change does
not cover private prisons
used by Immigration and
Customs
Enforcement,
which hold up to 34,000 immigrants awaiting deportation.
"Private prisons served
an important role during a difficult period, but
time has shown that they
compare poorly to our own
Bureau facilities," Yates
wrote in a memo to the acting director of the Federal
Bureau of Prisons. As private prison contracts come
to an end, the bureau is
not to renew the contract
or it should at least "substantially" reduce its scope,
Yates wrote. She did not
specify a timeline for when
all federal inmates would
be in government-owned
facilities.
Democratic
presidential candidate Hillary
Clinton has said the U.S.
should move away from
using private facilities to
house inmates. The Clinton campaign has said it
no longer accepts contributions from private prison
interests, and if it receives
such a contribution, it will
donate that money to charity. The private prison industry is a major contributor to Republican political
campaigns, particularly in
recent years. GOP presidential candidate Donald
Trump has said he supports the use of private
prisons.
The private prisons
on the chopping block are
operated by three private
companies — Corrections
Corporation of America,
GEO Group Inc., and
Management and Training Corporation. After the
announcement Thursday,
Corrections Corp. stock
dropped $13.22, or 48.6
percent, to $14 and Geo
Group tumbled $13.80, or
42.7 percent, to $18.49.
Both companies get about
half their revenue from the
federal government.
The Management and
Training Corporation and
Corrections
Corporation
of American issued statements saying they were
disappointed with the decision. They also said they
disagreed with the conclusions of an inspector general's audit that preceded
the Justice Department's
decision.
The federal government started to rely on
private prisons in the late
1990s due to overcrowding.
Many of the federal prison
inmates held in private facilities are foreign nationals who are being held on
immigration offenses, the
audit said.
Immigration and human rights advocates have
long-complained about the
conditions in privately-run
prisons. Amnesty International, on Thursday, urged
states to follow suit. Some
states, such as Kentucky,
already have.
Before Thursday, the
Bureau of Prisons had been
working toward the goal of
phasing out private prison contracts when, three
weeks ago, it did not renew
a contract for 1,200 beds,
Yates said. Thursday's policy change also included direction to change a current
solicitation for a private
prison contract, cutting the
maximum number of beds
required by 66 percent.

Governor's attorney
general pick is Kane's
ex-chief deputy
HARRISBURG (AP)
— Gov. Tom Wolf on
Thursday
nominated
Kathleen Kane’s former
top deputy to step in as
attorney general for the
remaining months of her
term on the heels of her
conviction and resignation from the state’s top
law enforcement job.
Bruce Beemer would
take over the beleaguered
800-employee
attorney
general’s office after two
years of infighting, firings
and scandal under Kane.
While Beemer was promoted into the top lieutenant’s job under Kane,
he later clashed publicly
with her and provided
testimony that helped
prosecutors convict her.
Senate confirmation
of Beemer was expected
but still at least a couple
of weeks away. A permanent successor to Kane
will be chosen by voters
in November and sworn
in Jan. 17.
Wednesday
was
Kane’s last day in office,
leaving it to be run by
recent Kane hire Bruce
L. Castor Jr., who had
emerged as a central figure in the Bill Cosby sex
assault case and who
lacked support from Wolf
or top state lawmakers.
Castor also became a target of criticism that he
was an extension of Kane,
a characterization he has
rejected.
Kane was convicted
Monday of abusing the
powers of her office by
leaking secret grand jury
information to smear a rival and lying under oath
to cover it up. She faces
prison time when she is
sentenced Oct. 24.
Wolf called Beemer
the “right fit” for the office and said Beemer has
the respect of the agency’s
employees.
Senate
Majority
Leader Jake Corman, RCentre, said he expected
Beemer would be confirmed swiftly, potentially
by the end of August.
“We’re going to try to
do it as quickly as possible to try to restore some
stability over there,” Corman said.
Beemer left his post
as Kane’s top deputy last
month to become Wolf ’s
inspector general, an of-

fice that investigates
complaints about fraud,
waste and misconduct in
state agencies.
Beemer, a former Allegheny County prosecutor, joined the attorney
general’s office in 2011
as chief of staff under a
Kane predecessor and
was promoted after Kane
took office in 2013 to first
deputy attorney general.
Beemer, 47, took on
some of the office’s major
legal decisions and openly clashed with Kane over
the agency’s operations
after the state Supreme
Court suspended her law
license last fall.
He also gave unflattering testimony about
Kane at her trial last
week, including the contention that Kane told
him it was “no big deal”
when a 2014 article in the
Philadelphia Daily News
contained information he
deemed to be protected
by investigation secrecy
laws.
For her part, Kane
blamed the investigation
into her on her exposure
of a government email
scandal involving sexually explicit images and
derogatory jokes that cost
the jobs of several highranking government officials, including two state
Supreme Court justices.
In the meantime, the
office remains seeded
with controversial hires
or
promotions
under
Kane.
They include her twin
sister, her cousin, a chief
of staff who was the target of sexual harassment
complaints and a supervisory special agent who
is appealing a contempt
of court conviction for
snooping on the investigation into Kane.
It also is awaiting a
report from a law firm on
its review of millions of internal emails, a contract
signed by Kane after she
failed to make good on a
promise to release all the
pornographic or offensive
emails from the agency’s
servers.

Indictment: Man
spoke with IS while
planning attack in US
CHARLOTTE,
N.C.
(AP) — A federal indictment alleges that a North
Carolina man accused of
plotting a terror attack in
the U.S. communicated
with a member of the Islamic State as he developed
his plans.
The indictment filed
Tuesday in U.S. District
Court in Charlotte said
Justin Nojan Sullivan
spoke with Junaid Hussain
in June 2015 via social media about making a video
of a terrorist attack in the
U.S. to be used by IS.
The original indictment unsealed in February
accused Sullivan of killing
his neighbor and stealing
his money so he could buy
an assault rifle to carry out
an IS-inspired shooting at
a concert or club. The indictment said Sullivan offered an undercover FBI
employee money to kill his
parents, who he believed
would interfere with his
plans.
In the initial indictment, Sullivan was accused of planning to use an
assault rifle and silencer
to carry out an attack at a
concert, bar or club, which
he believed would kill as
many as 1,000 people.
A grand jury in Burke
County also indicted Sullivan in February on a
murder charge in the death
of 74-year-old John Bailey Clark, who lived a few
doors down from him, said
District Attorney David
Learner.
In December 2014, he
used a .22-caliber rifle stolen from his father's gun
cabinet to shoot Clark in
the head, the federal indictment said. A news release said forensic testing
shows the rifle was used to
kill Clark.
Federal
authorities
said they began investigating Sullivan after his
father called 911 in April
2015 saying his son was
destroying religious items
in their home in Morganton. He was arrested at the
family's home without incident on June 19, and later
told investigators that he
planned to carry out an
attack in the coming days
when his parents were expected to be out of town, investigators have said.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?
By Pastor B.J. Knefley
How well are you doing? Does your life suck? Are
you happy? Could life be better? What would make
it better or worse? Do you blame others for where
you are in life? Do you blame yourself? These questions and many more are often found in the hearts
of people. If you were to ask them how they were doing, the answer would probably be, “Not well”.
Social media has many positive attributes. We
get to stay in touch with people that we don’t often
see. We get to see pictures of our family members
when they live far away. It can actually be a great
tool for happiness and fulfillment, but it also can be
a very destructive tool when we use it to compare.
For some, social media has become a place to get
affirmation. We post things that will bring positive
comments. Some are interested in how many likes
and comments they get on their posts. Selfies, those
self-portraits that many post on their walls, show
life in a positive context. Have you ever noticed that
almost all of the posts are about positive experiences? When do people actually post about what life is
really like. Their post of their vacation on the beach,
or the new house they just bought quickly answers
the question “How are you doing”. Obviously they’re
doing great, and compared to you, your life sucks.
The grass needs mowed, everyone is on vacation
except you, you’re living paycheck to paycheck and
someone has to ask the question how you’re doing?
I had a friend whose life seemed to go from one
bad experience to another. I asked them to rate each
day on a scale of 1-10 and get back to me in a month.
Interestingly they averaged over a 6 for each day.
When we talked about it later we were able to discover that they tended to major on the negative and
lost sight of the bigger picture. So when asked how
they were doing, they interpreted their response
from their negative view. Perhaps if we learned to
count our blessings we’d have a different bigger picture. Think about it.

Eagles capitalize on Steelers turnovers in win
PITTSBURGH (AP) —
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Landry Jones threw four
interceptions and the Philadelphia Eagles capitalized.
Nolan Carroll’s 38-yard interception return for a score
was the lone touchdown of the
first half, helping the Eagles to
a 17-0 victory Thursday night.
The Eagles’ defense has
nine takeaways in six quarters.
Pittsburgh, which suffered its
previous preseason shutout in
2014, has one offensive touchdown in two games.
Steelers quarterback Ben
Roethlisberger was held out for
the second straight week along
with running backs Le’Veon
Bell and DeAngelo Williams
and wide receiver Antonio
Brown.
Eagles quarterback Carson
Wentz, the No. 2 overall pick in
the draft, missed the game with
fractured ribs, while wide re-
ceiver Jordan Matthews sat out
with a knee injury.
Sam Bradford led Philadelphia’s offense to a field goal late
in the first half, giving the Eagles a 10-0 lead at the break. He
finished 14 of 19 for 115 yards.
Jones had a dismal half for
Pittsburgh, going 12 of 20 for
111 yards with four interceptions. The first was Carroll’s
38-yarder for a score.
Jones’ second interception
came in the first quarter after leading the Steelers to the
Philadelphia 8. A fade for Cobi
Hamilton was broken up by
Leodis McKelvin and intercepted by Malcolm Jenkins.
Jones threw his third interception late in the second quarter as a pass intended for Sammie Coates was picked off in
the end zone by Aaron Grymes.
Jaylen Watkins picked off Jones
again in the final minute of the
half.
Chase Daniel opened the
second half, leading the Eagles
on a 15-play, 87-yard touchdown drive. A 23-yard pass to
Paul Turner helped set up Kenjon Barner’s 5-yard touchdown
run, making it 17-0. Daniel finished 10 of 16 for 82 yards.
ROOKIE WATCH
Steelers: Second-round pick
Sean Davis started his second
straight game as the slot cornerback. He’s been rotating at
safety and first-team slot cornerback after an injury to 2015
second-round pick Senquez Golson.
Eagles: Third-round pick
Isaac Seumalo started at left
guard. Allen Barbre started at
right tackle for Lane Johnson,
who is expected to be suspended
the first 10 games of the season.
That opened up a spot at left
guard for Seumalo, who could
be given an opportunity to earn
the starting job. The rookie
committed a costly holding penalty that wiped out a big gain
late in the first half.
POSITION BATTLES
Steelers: Alejandro Villanueva and Ryan Harris, who are
competing for the starting left
tackle spot, both started along
the offensive line. Marcus Gilbert missed the game and Harris, a nine-year veteran, who
won a Super Bowl with Denver last season, started in his
place at right tackle. Villanueva
started at left tackle for the second straight week.
Eagles: It’s a crowded wide
receiver group behind Matthews. Turner, an undrafted
rookie, led the Eagles with three
receptions for 44 yards, while
Nelson Agholor, the team’s
2015 first-round pick, had 30
yards on two receptions. Veteran Rueben Randle, a free agent
acquisition from the New York
Giants, caught two passes and
Josh Huff, a 2014 third-round
pick, finished with a reception.
Newly acquired Dorial GreenBeckham was targeted in the
red zone, and again later in the
game, but the 6-foot-5 former
second-round pick didn’t finish
with any catches.
INJURY UPDATE
Steelers: The Steelers sat
linebackers Jarvis Jones, Bud
Dupree and Anthony Chickillo
and cornerback Artie Burns,
the team’s first-round pick.
Eagles: Kicker Caleb Sturgis suffered a concussion when
he was struck by a punt during warmups. The Eagles also
sat RB Wendell Smallwood,
DT Mike Martin, WR Hunter
Sharp, LB Mychal Kendricks
and cornerbacks JaCorey Shepherd and Jalen Mills. Grymes
(shoulder), Joe Walker (knee),
and Blake Countess (head) left
the game with injuries.
ECC, SMA golfers open season at
Coudersport Invitational Thursday
By Jim Mulcahy
Staff Writer
The Elk County Catholic and St. Marys Area
golf teams opened their
seasons on Thursday by
competing in the Coudersport Invitational.
A total of 13 schools
were represented at the
match.
The Erie McDowell
Blue team won the team
title with a score of 238.
Erie McDowell White was
second with a score of 258.
The Elk Catholic Crusaders finished in third place
with a score of 266. Tied
for fourth place were
the St. Marys Area Flying Dutch and the Kane
Wolves with scores of 288.
Port Allegany was
next with 290 followed by
Coudersport 294, Towanda 304, Smethport 305,
Bradford 311, Oswayo
Valley 317 and Cameron
County 319. Sugar Valley
did not have a complete
team.
Preston Carney of
Erie McDowell was the
medalist on the day with
a 75. Elk Catholic’s Jonah
Meyer was sixth with his
86 out of 63 golfers.
For Elk Catholic,
Meyer finished with a 4343-86 followed by Gabe
Kraus 45-45-90, Ryan
Newton 44-46-90, Brady
Schneider 45-46-91 and
Nate Dezanet 47-45-92.
“The good news is
our scores were very
consistent today as we
placed five guys within
six strokes of one another. I was very happy
with that. Now we just
need to keep working and
keep lowering our scores,”
said ECCHS coach Aaron
Straub.
“We have had a very
good week of practice
and I am happy with our
team’s enthusiasm and
approach. Our young
players are improving
and our older players are
showing positive leadership. We have a very good
group,” said Straub.
For the SMA Dutch-
men, Nick Wendel finished with a 46-46-92,
followed by Ryan Bressler
46-47-93, Jesse McKee
with a 47-56-103, Paul
Armanini 54-51-105 and
Matt Bellina 56-62-118.
“We have a busy four
days with the match today and tomorrow and
then on Monday (at Bavarian Hills Invitational)
and Tuesday (regular
match at Bradford Area 9
a.m.). After next Tuesday
we will be able to do some
work at the range and on
the putting green,” added
Straub.
Both the Crusaders
and the Dutch will be in
action this morning when
they compete in the DuBois-St. Marys Challenge
at the Leaning Pines Golf
Course. Also competing
will be the DuBois Area
Beavers and the DuBois
Central Cardinals. Tee off
is set for 8:30 a.m. with
the top six golfers from
each school participating
in the 18-hole match.
Brazilian police say Lochte, US
swimmers were not robbed
RIO DE JANEIRO
(AP) — Brazilian police
said Thursday that swimmer Ryan Lochte and three
U.S. teammates were not
robbed after a night of partying, and the intoxicated
athletes instead vandalized a gas station bathroom and were questioned
by armed guards before
they paid for the damage
and left.
The robbery that was
or wasn’t has become the
biggest spectacle outside
of the Olympic venues in
Rio, casting a shadow over
American athletes amid an
otherwise remarkable run
at the Summer Games.
The ordeal was also a
blow to Brazilians, who
for months endured scrutiny about whether the city
could keep athletes and
tourists safe given its long
history of violence.
“No robbery was committed against these athletes. They were not victims of the crimes they
claimed,” Civil Police Chief
Fernando Veloso said during a news conference.

came in direct contrast to
claims from Lochte’s attorney earlier in the week.
The attorney, Jeff Ostrow,
had insisted the swimmer
had nothing to gain by
making the story up. He,
as well as Lochte’s father
and agent, did not return
phone calls seeking comment.
The swimmers could
potentially face punishment — probation, suspension, a fine or expulsion
— under USA Swimming’s
code of conduct. It was
not clear if the swimmers
would face criminal charges, though police said the
athletes could be charged
with destruction of property, falsely reporting a
crime or both.
Two of the swimmers
— Gunnar Bentz and Jack
Conger — checked in to
a flight out of Brazil late
Thursday after a judge lifted the order seizing their
passports and keeping
them in the country. They
had testified about the incident earlier in the day,
and Brazilians chanted
“liar” as they left the police
building.
“They did not lie in
their statements. They
never lied to journalists.
They only stayed quiet.
They did not know what
was going on,” attorney
Sergio Riera said.
The last swimmer in
Rio, Jimmy Feigen, provided an updated statement
to police, U.S. Olympic officials said, and hoped to get
his passport back shortly
to return home.

Benzinger Park’s Womens’ Basketball Champions
Benzinger Park had a
great season this summer
for the Women’s Basketball League. The summer
started with seven teams
battling for the first seed
in the playoff bracket. On
Aug. 15, the Cherry Pickers challenged the Lady
Lions. The dominance of
Kayla Hoohuli was too
much for the Lady Lions
as they ended the Lions’
season with an unfortunate loss of 49-47.
The
championship
game was played right after the semifinals consisting of Oldies but Goodies
versus Cherry Pickers.
Oldies but Goodies had a
veteran team comprised of
Alyssa Cunningham, Samantha Sicheri, Meghan
Eckert, Andie Beveridge,
Ann Florio, Jenna Nedzinski, Stephanie Weber,
Brittney Timm, Maggie
Sorg, and Nicole Braun.
Oldies but Goodies gave
the Cherry Pickers a good
fight, but nothing seemed
to slow down the young
Cherry Pickers.
The game came down
to the last few minutes of
regulation, but the Cherry Pickers were able to
pull away to take home
the first place trophy and
custom designed T-shirts
from Dave’s Pro Shop.
Indians top
White Sox
CLEVELAND (AP) —
Cleveland manager Terry
Francona put up a pinchhitter in the middle of an
at-bat and the strategy
paid off when Tyler Naquin lofted a game-ending
sacrifice fly in the ninth
inning that lifted the Indians over the Chicago
White Sox 5-4 Thursday
night.
The Cherry Pickers
were the young team that
included Kayla Hoohuli,
Rachel Bauer, Rachelle
Armanini, Abby Adamski, Sydney Eckert, Jenna Cherry, Julie Daniels,
Bekka Bauer, Michelle
Bauer, Leah Gabler, Sophie Geitner, AnnMarie
Vargas, Kaitlyn Barack-
man, Gina Schlimm and
Caitlyn Bankovich.
Benzinger Park would
like to thank all the women who competed this
summer, and wish the
high school players a successful season. Benzinger
Park hopes to see everyone next year for the summer of 2017.

Ashton Eaton ties Olympic
record, but it’s Bolt’s show again
RIO DE JANEIRO
(AP) — Ashton Eaton retained his title as the best
all-around athlete in the
world by tying the decathlon Olympic record
and, within minutes, had
stepped back for track and
field’s ultimate superstar to
take center stage again.
What more could the
now two-time Olympic
champion Eaton do on
Thursday night to get just
a sliver of the limelight that
shines so brightly wherever
Usain Bolt goes.
Not much.
Eaton made it back-toback Olympic and world
titles in the decathlon, an
event the 28-year-old American has ruled since he rebounded from silver at the
worlds in 2011 to claim the
next four major gold medals available. From throwing, to jumping, to running,
Eaton can do it all.
But then Bolt — the
Jamaican who just deals in
speed — roared around the
bend at the Olympic Stadium to win the 200 meters
in 19.78 seconds, completing act two of his three-part
quest for gold and history
in Rio.
The 4x100-meter relay
final is all that’s left now
between Bolt and an historic triple of three gold medals at three straight Olympics. Concentrating on not
messing that up for Bolt, a
Jamaica team led by Asafa
Powell got into the final,
but only finished second in
their heat behind Japan.
“There was some pressure to make it to the finals,” Powell said, clearly
relieved he didn’t have to
deliver any bad news to his
friend, who was busy preparing for the 200 final.
The American men’s
4x100 team qualified fastest for the relay final with
a season’s-best 37.65.
Wednesday delivered
an “awesome hour” for
the American team on the
track. By Thursday night,
that had evolved into a
pretty great 24 hours.
Alongside Eaton’s triumph, Ryan Crouser led
an American one-two in
the shot put, also setting
an Olympic record of 22.52
meters to beat world champion Joe Kovacs. Tomas
Walsh of New Zealand won
bronze.
Dalilah
Muhammad
kept the U.S. total ticking
with gold in the women’s
400-meter hurdles and
Ashley Spencer added
a bronze, with another
American 1-2 in that race
only just thwarted by Denmark’s Sara Slott Petersen.
Earlier, Kerron Clement
won his first individual
gold at the Olympics in the
men’s 400 hurdles.
“We are making history out here,” Muhammad
said of the U.S. team’s gold
rush.
With three days of competition to come, the United
States was up to 24 medals
in track and field, including
eight gold.
For a few short moments on Day 7 the track
and field competition, the
U.S. women’s 4x100 relay
team was a little like Bolt:
They were the only ones everyone was looking at.
Tianna Bartoletta nestled into the starting blocks
in lane 2 for the U.S. team’s
re-run — on their own and
against the clock only — after they fumbled the baton
in their original qualifier,
but got another chance following a protest.
With just the clock and
the crowd for company,
they took the baton around
in 41.77 seconds to knock
slowest-qualifier China out
the final.
“We were laughing and
joking out there,” English
Gardner said. “Our coach
said before we went out
there, ‘It’s just like practice,
just the whole world will be
watching. Be patient, stay
patient with each other,
and just do your job.”
Eaton finished with
8,893 points, incredibly
matching exactly the Olympic record after 10 energysapping events. He finished
third in the last event, the
1,500, to win gold from
France’s Kevin Mayer on
8,834 points. Canada’s
Damian Warner took the
bronze.
Eaton has confirmed
his status at the dominant
decathlete of his time.
“To win two Olympic
golds in a row like Daley
Thompson is very special,”
he said, referring to the
great British decathlete
who won in 1980 and ‘84.
Eaton
had
briefly
darted away from the decathlon in the morning
session to congratulate
Clement as his teammate
knelt exhausted in the midday sun after the hurdles
final. Clement was so confident of a first Olympic
individual gold, he had his
mother, Claudette, bring
a star-spangled banner so
he could drape it over his
shoulders.
“We had a flag at home
and I told her to bring the
flag. I knew I was going to
win,” Clement said.
Boniface Mucheru Tumuti of Kenya took silver,
0.05 behind, and Cubanborn Yasmani
Copello
of Turkey won bronze in
47.92, both in national records.
South Africa’s Caster
Semenya, the outright
favorite for the women’s
800-meter title, qualified
for the final as she breezed
to victory in her semifinal
heat, pretty much unchallenged, in 1 minute 58.15
seconds.
Croatia’s Sara Kolak
won the women’s javelin,
another first-time Olympic champion like Crouser.
Sunette Viljoen took silver
and Barbora Spotakova
bronze.
Steelers’ Harrison willing to
talk PEDs after NFL’s deadline
PITTSBURGH (AP) —
Steelers linebacker James
Harrison is willing to meet
with the NFL to discuss
an alleged link to performance-enhancing
drugs
— but only five days after
a deadline the league has
imposed while threatening
him and three other players with indefinite suspensions.
NFL Players Association attorney Heather
McPhee sent a letter to the
NFL on Thursday, accusing it of trying to “bully and
publicly shame” Harrison
without offering evidence
beyond a brief mention in
television interview last
year that was recanted by
the accuser.
Green Bay’s Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers,
and free agent Mike Neal
also were threatened with
suspensions. It was not immediately known if a similar meeting was being proposed by the union.
The league’s deadline
for cooperation from the
four players is Aug. 25.
McPhee’s letter says Harrison would meet with the
NFL at 5 p.m. on Aug. 30
at the team’s facility, and
would only discuss the portion of the Al-Jazeera interview that mentioned the
14-year veteran.
In the report, Charlie
Sly, who worked as an intern at an anti-aging clinic,
made claims of PED use
against several athletes,
including the four linebackers. Sly later recanted his
claims.
“Is the NFL aware of
any credible evidence —
other than the recanted
remarks by one individual
shown by Al-Jazeera —
that indicates that there is
any validity to the remarks
about
Mr.
Harrison?”
McPhee wrote to Adolpho
Birch, the NFL’s senior vice
president for labor policy
and league affairs.
NFL spokesman Brian
McCarthy said the league
has yet to respond to the
letter.
Retired
quarterback
Peyton Manning was also
cited in the report, but the
NFL cleared him after a
separate investigation in
which the Broncos star

granted interviews and
provided all records sought
by league investigators.
Harrison is a longtime
leader for the Steelers.
Matthews and Peppers are
key cogs in the Packers’
defense, and Neal spent
the past six seasons with
Green Bay.
The NFL first notified
the four players on Jan. 11
about the investigation into
the Al-Jazeera report.
Birch’s memo to the
union said suspensions
would start the day after
the Aug. 25 deadline, and
would end at the discretion
of Commissioner Roger
Goodell once interviews
had been completed.
The four players have
steadfastly refused to be
interviewed without what
they call credible evidence.
Earlier this week, Harrison
reiterated that he would be
willing to meet at his house
with Goodell.
Affidavits were sent by
the NFLPA on behalf of the
players to substitute for
the interviews, but Birch
dismissed them as inadequate.

Evacuated residents in limbo as wildfire burns in California
SAN BERNARDINO,
Calif. (AP) — Twisted
metal gates and rusted
mailboxes
remained
where houses once stood.
Flames had turned a lot
full of cars — including
some vintage models —
into a junkyard of hollowed-out shells. Countless trees were scorched
or gone.
Scenes of destruction
were everywhere Thursday after a huge wildfire
sped through mountains
and high desert 60 miles
east of Los Angeles so
swiftly that it took seasoned firefighters off
guard.
An aerial flyover revealed significant property loss, but crews were
just beginning to comb
through the rubble to
document the devastation.
"Most of the areas
where there was structural damage, they're
still smoldering," U.S.
Forest Service spokesman Jake Rodriguez
said.
Many residents remained in limbo, unable
to go home and wondering whether anything
would be left when they
can.
"I want it to be over,
but more than anything
I just want to know, 'Is
my house still there?'"
Lisa Gregory said as she
sat in a lawn chair under
a tree at an evacuation
center.
The fire has blackened more than 49
square miles and was
just 4 percent contained
since erupting Tuesday
in hot, gusty conditions
and spreading with extraordinary speed. At its
height, more than 34,000
homes and some 82,000
residents were under
evacuation warnings.
There was some good
news Thursday: People
living near a corner of
the area that didn't burn
were cleared to return
home.
During five years
of drought, California's
wildlands have seen a
continuous streak of destructive and sometimes
deadly fires. No deaths
have been reported in
the latest fire, but crews
assessing property damage were using cadaver
dogs during searches.
The dry vegetation
is like firewood, said fire
information officer Sean
Collins.
"It burns that much
quicker, that much hotter. The rate of travel is
extremely fast," he said.
Wildfires across the
country in recent years
have grown more ferocious and expensive to
fight.
Last year's fire season set a record with
more than 15,625 square
miles of land charred. It
was also the costliest on
record with $2.1 billion
spent to fight fires from
Alaska to Florida.
Experts have blamed
several factors including rising temperatures
that more quickly dry
out forests and vegetation. Decades of aggressively knocking down
small fires also have led
to the buildup of flammable fuel. On top of that,
more people are moving
into fire-prone regions,
complicating firefighting
efforts.
In the Southern California fire, air tankers
spent Thursday bom-
barding rugged slopes
with fire retardant, and
a squadron of helicopters
dropped load after load
of water to corral flames.
On the ground, firefighters and bulldozers
worked to protect the ski
town of Wrightwood and
other areas high in the
San Gabriel Mountains.
Authorities
estimated that only half of
the 4,500 residents of
Wrightwood had heeded
evacuation orders.
The fire unleashed
its initial fury on a semirural landscape dotted
with small ranches and
homes in Cajon Pass and
on the edge of the Mojave Desert before climbing the mountains.
Travel was returning
to normal in the pass — a
major corridor for trucking, rail and commuter
traffic — after Interstate
15 was fully reopened.
In mountains north
of San Francisco, fire
crews
gained
more
ground on a wildfire as
damage inspectors surveyed the area to determine how many structures were destroyed or
damaged.
The
6-square-mile
blaze was 55 percent contained after destroying
at least 268 structures,
including 175 homes and
eight businesses, in the
working-class community of Lower Lake.
Damin Pashilk is
charged with 14 counts of
arson in connection with
12 separate fires dating
back to July 2015 and
one count of attempted
arson. The 40-year-old
construction worker appeared in court Wednesday, but he did not enter
a plea.
he suffered from bacterial
and fungal pneumonia. A
removed lobe of his lung
contained rhizopus, a form
of mold.
UPMC officials declined
to
comment
Wednesday.
Krieg, of St. Marys,
died July 9 at UPMC
Presbyterian. His lawyer,
Brendan Lupetin, said
Krieg had a successful
kidney transplant in July
2015, but returned to the
hospital in March. He did
not leave the hospital before he died.
"The Krieg family feels
vindicated that UPMC's
own pathologists have
confirmed what the family
had said all along — a necrotizing fungal infection
that Dan Krieg contracted
while admitted to UPMC
was a major contributing
cause of his death," Lupetin said Wednesday.
The federal Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention has said the
four previous organ transplant patients who developed mold infections at
UPMC likely got it from
time spent in a "negative
pressure" room normally
reserved for those who already had infections.
Mold
An autopsy obtained
by The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review listed the
cause of death as "multiorgan failure due to sepsis
due to pneumonia." UPMC
Dr. Penny Sappington
wrote in the report that

DEAR ANNIE®
COPYRIGHT 2016 CREATORS SYNDICATE, INC.
Dear Annie: I am a college student in
my early 20s. While applying for an internship recently, I contacted a former employer,
“Lauren,” to ask whether she would act as a
reference on my application. This is a woman
I genuinely like and respect, so I was excited
when she said that she would be happy to do
so and that we should meet to catch up over
coffee.
The trouble started when she later invited me to a “meeting” instead.
I was aware that Lauren had recently
become involved with a “multilevel marketing
company” (read: pyramid scheme) that sells
“safe” and “natural” nutrition and beauty products. Even though this was not something I
was interested in, I decided to go to the meeting to see her and see what it was about. Although she was saving several seats, I was
the only one of Lauren’s friends to show up.
The meeting turned out to be fun and
very convincing. I was careful not to commit
to anything, but I expressed an interest in
researching and trying the products and was
invited to a product party. I was even privately
considering becoming a consultant if I liked
the products, and I suspect that Lauren and
her friends could sense that. While driving
home, however, I started to feel a little brainwashed. I respect the men and women who
can be successful in these businesses, but I
am not one of them, and I have never had an
interest in trying.
I am not against the products and
might even like to purchase a few in the
future, when I have a steady income and a
regular routine. Unfortunately, Lauren seems
more interested in recruiting me to the company than in selling me things.
It has only happened two or three
times, but I am running out of polite ways to
deflect or decline.
My question is: How do I say no to
Lauren without upsetting her so that I will still
“ALL THE NEWS YOU CAN USE”
be able to list her as a reference? Is that even
possible? My past experience working for her
(and therefore having a reference from her)
is an important part of my resume and could
make the difference between my getting an
internship in my field and my not getting one.
What should I do? -- Making Up My Mind
Dear Making Up: Timing is everything.
I’m not suggesting you cook up a scheme of
your own, but it wouldn’t hurt to keep things
on open-ended, friendly terms while you’re
still asking Lauren to be a reference. Instead
of worrying over how to give Lauren a hard
“no,” focus on securing a hard “yes” from her
on that front.
And meanwhile, come up with a plan
B. If Lauren flakes on you like bad foundation,
have someone else lined up to speak to your
professional assets.
Dear Annie: I went to a funeral yesterday and sneezed immediately when seated.
The woman in front of me was doused in
perfume. I moved back a row (no place else
to go), but that perfume permeated the entire
church. I am sure she is a nice woman and
did not realize how offensive she was.
It is a fact that people cannot smell
themselves, so they do not know if they
have bad body odor or are wearing too much
perfume. If you actually put on enough perfume that you can smell it yourself, it’s way
too much. Deodorants, hair sprays, scented
body washes and room deodorizers should
be used sparingly. Plus, maybe laundry detergents would be cheaper if they omitted the
dyes and perfumes. -- Enough of the Noxious
Fumes
Dear Enough: You may suffer from
multiple chemical sensitivity. The exact science behind the condition is still up for debate, but some people have much stronger
reactions to scents than others. Some have
found relief by fanning themselves with paper, carrying around orange peels (to mask
unfriendly scents) and using meditative
breathing techniques. It also wouldn’t hurt to
talk to your doctor about possible allergies. I
hope you can breathe easy soon.

For Saturday, Aug. 20, 2016 - by Francis Drake
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)

a poor day for major purchases
and important decisions. (It’s OK
to buy food and gas.)
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
If you can hunker down at home
today, you will enjoy yourself,
because you need to cocoon
right now. This is a creative day
for you, especially if you work in
the arts.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
You’re eager to communicate
with others now; however, tension with partners and close
friends is likely. This tension will
be gone by the end of September.
CANCER

probably considering a major purchase. Today is a poor day for a major purchase. Wait until tomorrow.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
You have a few more days with
the Sun in your sign giving you a
chance to re-energize yourself.
People and favorable situations are
attracted to you. Make the most of
this.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Although this is a good time to buy
wardrobe items for yourself, today
is not the day. Wait until tomorrow;
you will be glad you did.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
In one way, you are keen to socialize, and you are out there flying
your colors. However, a different
influence makes you want to hide
and be low-key. At least you have
a choice.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
This is a great day to schmooze with
others. Keep things lighthearted and
avoid important decisions. Don’t volunteer for anything.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Travel, education and publishing are
on your mind now. However, this is a
poor day to make a decision regarding these matters. Nevertheless, it’s
a lighthearted, creative day for you.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
You will enjoy talking to people from
different cultures and different backgrounds, because you want to learn
something new. It’s easy to be openminded today.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
It’s good to know that you can benefit
from the wealth and resources of others at this time. Today, however, is a
poor day for important decisions, especially about a commitment.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Relations with partners and close
friends are unusually warm and cozy
now. Don’t hesitate to tell others how
much you care. Don’t leave it to their
imagination.
YOU BORN TODAY You are generous, diplomatic, outgoing and work
well with others. You are a great organizer and enjoy good times. Initially,
this year begins quietly, which is why
you might not see major changes until
next year; however, it will be a year of
growth and building. Work to reduce
your debt and strengthen your financial position, because you are building
for your future!

Hemingway home gets back antlers
taken by Hunter S. Thompson
BOISE, Idaho (AP) —
A young Hunter S. Thompson went to Idaho to write
about Ernest Hemingway
and decided to take a piece
of his hero home with him
— a set of trophy elk antlers.
More than half a century later, the gonzo journalist's wife returned the
antlers to Hemingway's
house in the mountain
town of Ketchum.
"He was embarrassed
that he took them," Anita
Thompson told The Associated Press on Thursday,
noting the deep respect her
husband had for Hemingway's work. "He wished
he hadn't taken them. He
was young, it was 1964,
and he got caught up in
the moment.
"He talked about it
several times, about taking a road trip and returning them," she said.
She gave back the
antlers Aug. 5 to Ketchum Community Library,
which helps catalog and
preserve items in the residence where the author
took his own life. It's now
owned by the Nature Conservancy.
In
1964,
Hunter
Thompson, then 27, came
to Ketchum when he was
still a conventional journalist. He had not yet
developed his signature
style, dubbed gonzo journalism, that involved
inserting himself, often
outrageously, into his re-
porting and that propelled
him into a larger-than-life
figure.
Thompson was writing
a story for the National
Observer about why the
globe-trotting Hemingway
shot and killed himself at
his home three years earlier at age 61. Thompson
attributed the suicide in
part to rapid changes in
the world that led to upheavals in places Hemingway loved most — Africa
and Cuba.
Even Ketchum, which
in the 1930s and 1940s attracted luminaries such as
Gary Cooper, had fallen off
the map of cafe society by
the late 1950s, Thompson
wrote.
In the story, later collected in his book "The
Great Shark Hunt," he
noted the problem of tourists taking chunks of earth
from around Hemingway's
grave as souvenirs.
Early in the piece, he
wrote about the large elk
antlers over Hemingway's
front door but never mentioned taking them.
For decades, the antlers hung in a garage at
Thompson's home near
Aspen, Colorado.
"One of the stories
that has often been told
over the years is the story
of Hunter S. Thompson
taking the antlers," said
the library's Jenny Emery
Davidson, who helped accept the trophy. "These are
two great literary figures
who came together over
the item of the antlers."
Davidson said historian Douglas Brinkley,
who spoke at the library
in May and was familiar
with the antler story after
interviewing the writer,
contacted Anita Thompson. She called the library
on Aug. 1.
Davidson said the
antlers have since been
shipped to a Hemingway
grandson in New York who
wanted them. It's not clear
if the antlers came from
an elk killed by the author,
who was a noted big game
hunter, or if they were a
gift.
Sean
Hemingway
didn't respond to emails or
phone messages seeking
comment.
Like Ernest Hemingway, Thompson ended his
own life by shooting himself, dying in 2005 at age
67 at his Colorado home.
His widow wants to
turn the house where he
lived and worked into a
museum, planning to open
it next year by invitation
only. Like Hemingway's
home, it's much the same
as it was when Thompson
was alive.
"I couldn't open it with
a clear conscious knowing there's a stolen pair of
antlers," Anita Thompson
said, noting the theft was
unusual behavior, even by
her husband's standards.
