But the two-page proposal, which would give more power to states to regulate health insurance, contained no specific details on how many people could be left without cover- St. Marys, Pennsylvania SEE PAGE 10 smdailypress.com No. 207 New PIAA classifications outlined at meeting By Amy Cherry Staff Writer Changes recently voted on by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) in regard to a new classification system for various high school sports was among one of several topics discussed during Monday evening's meeting of the St. Marys Area School District board of directors. Terry Straub, St. Marys Area High School student activities director, outlined the changes which have had the most impact on football programs. On Wednesday, the PIAA voted to expand the high school football playoff from four to six classifications. "This means more schools will have an opportunity to compete in a state championship," Straub said. The change will go into effect for the 2016-17 season. Statewide, there are currently 576 high school football teams. The change will allow for an even distribution of about 96 teams per classification. "The biggest change was in football," Straub said. Another change is that districts will now have the option of playing just one scrimmage instead of two then starting their season during the second week of Halloween Bash at the Edgewood Million Dollar Highway, St. Marys Saturday, October 31 8:00pm - ?

Facing a huge deficit, Pa. eyes gambling for help HARRISBURG (AP) — Republican lawmakers in Pennsylvania who are resisting tax increases to balance a deep budget deficit are taking steps toward the state's third expansion of gambling in six years as an alternative source of cash. Lawmakers who support it estimate that an expansion of some sort could mean hundreds of millions of dollars in one-time license fees plus collections from taxing a new stream of gambling profits. It also would keep the state's industry current in a competitive and fast changing environment, supporters say. House Majority Leader Dave Reed, R-Indiana, gave gambling expansion a prominent place in his list of priorities. Exploring the possibility should come before lawmakers raise taxes, he said Wednesday after the House defeated a $2.4 billion tax package presented by Gov. Tom Wolf. "I think we need to have a discussion first on what other revenues are on the table," Reed said. "We need to come to a conclusion on liquor reform. We need to ad- See PIAA, Page 2 Democratic debate a breakout chance for O’Malley, others Thinking pink See Bush, Page 2 Appetizers, Snacks, Pop, Water provided the season. Straub explained that previously the football state championship game was played one week before Christmas which often prompted date changes due to blizzard conditions in southeast Pennsylvania where the games are held in Hershey. Recent changes have the state dress cost drivers like our pension system. We need to look at gaming options." Among the bills in the Legislature are measures that would allow Pennsylvania's casinos to offer Internet gambling or station slot machines in new locations around the state. Pennsylvania state government has been in a partial shutdown for more than 100 days as the Republican-controlled Legislature resists Wolf's request for a multibillion-dollar tax increase that the first-term Democrat says is necessary to resolve the state government's budget deficit and begin correcting steep disparities in public school funding. The Wolf administration is open to a gambling expansion, if it is part of a comprehensive package that resolves what the administration projects to be a multibilliondollar long-term deficit, a spokesman said. "But I don't think we should confuse this with long-term sustainable revenue that's going to See Deficit, Page 2 Women’s Imaging AT PENN HIGHLANDS ELK Penn Highlands Elk • 814-788-8000 DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Stuck far behind Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bernie Sanders in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, Martin O’Malley needs a breakout moment in the party’s first debate to catch up to the frontrunners. And he knows it. “This will really be the first time that nationally voters see that there’s more than one alternative to this year’s inevitable front-runner, Secretary Clinton,” O’Malley said. “It’s a very, very important opportunity for me to not only present my vision for where the country should head, but also 15 years of executive experience, actually accomplishing the progressive things some of the other candidates can only talk about,” he said. The former governor of Maryland and mayor of Baltimore got into the race at the end of May, after telegraphing for some time his plans to seek the White House in 2016.

In addition, the PIAA board also voted to change the classifications in boys and girls basketball, softball and baseball expanding from four to six classifications as well as change girls volleyball, boys and girls soccer from three to four classifications. The PIAA's classifications are based on school enrollments. Every two years, the PIAA makes new classifications breakdowns based on students in grades 9-11. Current enrollment figures from every school in the state are due by Oct. 15. These will be valid for the 2016-17 and 2017-18 sports seasons. Next month, the classification breakdowns will be released for all sports. Also schools are permitted to play up in the next class if they choose. According to Straub, SMASD has 278 male and 274 female sports participants. "St. Marys is at the top of most sports," Straub said referring to their enrollment figures as compared to Bradford, Brookville, Clearfield, DuBois, and Punxsutawney. SMASD ranks among the highest in participation for junior high (seventh to eighth grade) girls basketball with 25 participants and ranks the lowest in varsity cross country with only 15 participants including six boys and nine girls. Straub said the SMAHS cross country coaches have started a junior high cross country program in hopes of increasing the high school team's number of participants. St. Marys was also the only school among the group without a girls golf team. DuBois is the only District 9 school which offers a rifle team and boys volleyball team. "The biggest drawback is boys track and field," Straub said. For the spring 2015 season, SMAHS fielded a boys track and field team of only 16 participants with the next closest school fielding a team of 37. Straub said boys track coaches are currently addressing the shortage of participants by encouraging other boys athletes to consider participating in track and field. Three SMAHS winter sports co-op with Elk County Catholic. Of the 17 members of the gymnastics team, six are from ECC; of the 13 boys swimming/diving participants, four are from ECC, and of the 24 girls participants, seven are from ECC; and of the 22 varsity wrestling athletes, one is from ECC, and of the 20 junior varsity wrestlers, one is from ECC. In mid-December, the PIAA is expected to release a full breakdown of what schools will be competing in each class. Continued from Page 1 Photo submitted Debate Continued from Page 1 the two others who will be onstage Tuesday night in Las Vegas, former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb and former Rhode Island Sen. Lincoln Chafee, were surprises to most. But all three have one thing in common — an inability so far to generate any of the enthusiasm among voters that has pushed Sanders into and kept Clinton at the top of the field. All three poll in low single digits in early preference surveys, well below even Vice President Joe Biden, who has yet to say if he’ll make a late entry into the race. O’Malley has been openly critical of the Democratic National Committee and the decision to hold six primary debates, with four scheduled in early primary states before the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1. He has mounted a push for the party to expand the number, even encouraging protests in front of Democratic Party headquarters. The party hasn’t budged, but O’Malley is undaunted. He has campaigned aggressively in Iowa and New Hampshire, far more than Webb or Chafee. He is critical of Clinton for her recent shifts on policy issues, among them her opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, which he calls a “reversal.” O’Malley also touts his executive experience in dealing with issues such as gun control, in which Sanders’ record matches more with his largely rural home state than his place in the race as a liberal firebrand promising political revolution. “We have to draw contrasts,” O’Malley said. “I think we can do it in a respectful way.” Expect Chafee, the former senator and governor from Rhode Island, to go after Clinton for her 2002 vote to authorize the war in Iraq. Chafee, at the time a Republican, opposed the invasion and he’s said Clinton’s support for the war, which she has more recently called a “mistake,” is at the center of his decision to run. Webb, a Vietnam veteran and former Virginia senator, has deep experience on military issues and foreign policy and has been critical of Clinton’s handling of the conflict in Libya. Last year he said the Obama administration’s unilateral decision to use military force in Libya was improper. One unknown is whether any of her challengers will poke at Clinton for her use of a private email account and server while serving as secretary of state. It’s been a constant refrain from the GOP candidates, and the Republican National Committee released a new television ad Monday that focuses on Clinton saying she didn’t send any classified information via the server. On Monday evening, Clinton spoke at a boisterous labor rally outside Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel, which is in the middle of a union organizing drive. She launched several barbs at Trump. “Some people say Donald Trump is entertaining, but I don’t think it’s entertaining when someone insults immigrants, when someone insults women,” she said. “If you are going to run for president, you need to represent all people of the United States, including hard-working people.” Neither Chafee nor Webb has campaigned as much as the others in the race, but the highly rated Republican debates have proven that a good night can lift a candidate. Carly Fiorina has emerged as a contender in the GOP race after two strong showings. “Fiorina was a complete unknown. Jim could make a lot bigger jump than that. It depends how many people are watching the debates,” said David “Mudcat” Saunders, an informal adviser to Webb. “I’m thinking and hoping and praying by the end of the debate, people are looking at it like a three-horse race.” said. Even supporters acknowledge that balancing the budget on a gambling expansion is problematic: It is very difficult to estimate how much actual gambling revenue will materialize. Case in point: Lawmakers legalized gambling in bars in 2013, estimating that a 60 percent tax on games of chance would bring $150 million a year to the state treasury. Practically nothing has materialized. It contributed $554,000 in the fiscal year that ended June 30 out of $30.6 billion in total tax collections for the state's main bank account. Still, gambling's role in financing state government is growing. Tax collections on table games, legalized at slotmachine casinos in 2010 to help buttress recessionwracked tax collections, raised $96 million last year. The state lottery's $1 billion in revenue last year went to support programs for the elderly, including a record amount for costs that the state's general tax collections used to shoulder. Meanwhile, more than $1.2 billion in tax collections on slot machine gambling in the last fiscal year went mostly for school property tax reductions and horse racing industry subsidies. Another problem is that consideration of gambling legislation is at an early stage. There have been no committee votes, floor debate or negotiations with Wolf's office. There is the prospect of Internet gambling, which is legal only in Delaware, New Jersey and Nevada. A bill by Sen. Kim Ward, R-Westmoreland, would allow Pennsylvania's casinos to offer Internet gambling for a $10 million permit fee to people who register and are in the state. Immediate revenue, however, could be minimal: New Jersey casinos reported $12.2 million in August receipts. New Jersey's tax rate is 15 percent, translating to a meager monthly collection of less than $2 million for the state treasury. Ward's bill also would allow casinos to station slot machines at off-track horse racing betting parlors, while a bill by Rep. Nick Kotik, D-Allegheny, would allow casinos to station slot machines at Pennsylvania's six international airports. Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, RJefferson, said gambling bills may not have seemed like a great idea months ago. But with massive tax increases and the government's partial shutdown at stake, perspectives should change, Scarnati said. "All of a sudden," Scarnati said, "gaming doesn't look that bad." dividuals could get higher tax credits for purchasing health insurance and would be allowed higher contribution limits on health savings accounts for out-ofpocket expenses. He also would overhaul the regulations imposed by the Food and Drug Administration to help spur innovation in the health care industry and would put limits on malpractice lawsuits. And he would put caps on federal payments to states and create a "transition plan" for 17 million people "entangled" in Obama's Affordable Care Act. Bush also proposes to limit the tax-free status of employer-provided health insurance, an idea labor unions fiercely oppose. Polls show Bush attracting single-digit support in New Hampshire, where he's trailing GOP rivals Donald Trump, Carly Fiorina and Ben Carson. Nationally, Bush is mired in the middle of the pack of Republican competitors. Bush and his GOP presidential rivals are united in their calls for repealing the Affordable Care Act, but have been unable to find agreement on what should replace it. Experts say any plan to repeal the federal mandates and reduce insurance subsidies under the current law would increase the number of uninsured. The number of people without health insurance coverage declined to 33 million in 2014, down from 42 million in 2013, according to the latest Census figures. Deficit Continued from Page 1 Continued from Page 1 age. It does, however, guarantee coverage for people with pre-existing health conditions, which is part of Obama's 974-page federal health law. Bush was expected to release more details Tuesday, during a three-day swing through New Hampshire. The Bush campaign says the former Florida governor's plan, in broad terms, would accomplish three goals: promote innovation, lower costs and return power to states. In a statement, the Bush campaign slammed Obama's health care law, saying it "epitomizes why Americans are fed up with Washington." "Jeb believes we must repeal Obamacare and offer a conservative vision and plan of health care for the future," said Allie Brandenburger, a Bush spokesperson.

New plates let motorcyclists show pride in, support of veterans HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania motorcyclists can now show their support for veterans by purchasing newly authorized “Honoring Our Veterans” special fund registration plates for motorcycles. The plate, authorized by Act 17 of 2015, features the standard registration plate design in blue, white and yellow with an image of the American Flag and a Bald Eagle with the words “Honoring Our Veterans” at the bottom of the plate. “By adding these new motorcycle plates to our extensive registrationplate options, we now give motorcycle enthusiasts the opportunity to support Pennsylvania’s veterans and donate to a worthy cause," said PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards. “You don’t need to be a veteran to get one of these plates.” The plate is available at a cost of $35. Fifteen dollars from the sale of each license plate goes to the Veterans’ Trust Fund administered by the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. The Tue Wed fund supports and assists Pennsylvania veterans and their families through grants to veterans service organizations and other charitable organizations. “The Honoring Our Veterans license plate for passenger cars and light trucks has been around since 2012, but it is only now that patriotic-minded motorcyclists have the opportunity to pay tribute to veterans as well," said Brig. Gen. Jerry Beck, deputy adjutant general for veterans affairs with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. “The money that we receive from each plate allows us to fund improved assistance and support for Pennsylvania’s nearly one million veterans and their families.” Motorcycle owners can apply for a plate by completing and submitting Form MV-914, “Application for Honoring Our Veterans Special Fund Registration Plate,” found on the PennDOT website at www.dmv.pa.gov by choosing “Registration Plates” in the “Vehicle Services” section, and then clicking on the “Special Fund” tab.

The yard has been torn up and the cornfields driven through by unknown individuals and valuable timber killed by someone creating a mud bog on the property. Damage upwards of $1,000 or more has been done. The State Police have been called and have investigated the situation. Periodic patrols of the area will be done of the property. One individual has already been notified to stay off the property. The property is still open for use, hunting, biking, etc., but closed to unauthorized vehicle traffic…walk-in only. I don't know why someone has a grudge against the Camp Owners but hopefully this senseless destruction of our property will come to an end. From a member of the Camp Owners Association… Michael J. Yeager St. Marys Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, To St. Marys City Council, instead of raising our taxes for the fire department, why don't you contact the Stackpole-Hall Foundation, the Palumbo Charitable Trust and the industries and businesses and grants available plus donations from the citizens?

Doc Lyons St. Marys Guest Commentary 12 Questions for General Petraeus on His Support for Al Qaeda We are constantly assured that if we listen to the generals and the U.S. intelligence officials, we will be well advised because they know so much more than we do. So how many failures of the generals and the intelligence officials do the American people endure before they turn to others—perhaps even those who study peace and nonviolent power—for a stronger and more helpful analysis? Advisers and colleagues of retired General David Petraeus say that he is approaching political and military leaders, advocating arming al Qaeda in Syria. Now that General David Petraeus wants to arm and train al Qaeda killers, a number of questions arise that might be raised with the great leader: 1. Should people who said that anyone was a traitor who called you David Betray-Us while you were fighting al Qaeda, now call you David Betray-Us or a traitor? 2. Do you imagine that just because you can share all sorts of secrets with your girlfriend and get off easy, there are no hardcore nut cases who believe in the "material support for terrorism" law more than they believe in you? 3. Have you looked into whether this West Point professor wants you shot? 4. The U.S. armed what would become al Qaeda against the Soviet Union. Al Qaeda in Iraq developed into ISIS following U.S. warmaking there. Could arming one branch of Al Qaeda against another really be the way violence at long last, for the first time, produces something other than more violence? 5. Is this part of a revival of Ronald Reagan traditional conservatism? 6. Do you foresee arming ISIS against a different, greater evil, as a possible future policy? If so, is the Pentagon justified in having gotten a head start on that? 7. Did you know that the U.S. public revolt against a proposed war on Syria in 2013 was driven in part by opposition to aligning with al Qaeda? 8. Is the problem here overly successful propaganda? Should future wars be marketed without the same level of promotion of an enemy brand? 9. When recruiting people to commit mass murder, are you seriously going to keep claiming that what you're looking for are the "moderates"? 10. While avoiding arms embargoes, disarmament, cease-fires, aid, diplomacy, or peace at all costs, and always arming new groups, you either have to continually invent new groups (like Khorasan) or eventually come around to arming some of the groups you previously armed others against. Which raises the question: which weapons maker loves you the very most? 11. Have you shifted strategy from bribing people not to fight to bribing people to fight because the success of the former turned out to be so fleeting? Why would the latter work better? 12. You have the right to remain silent. Do you understand this right? Have you ever considered exercising it? – David Swanson writes for PeaceVoice, is director of WorldBeyondWar.org and campaign coordinator for RootsAction.org. Swanson's books include War Is A Lie.

Guest Commentary War Party Targets Putin and Assad Having established a base on the Syrian coast, Vladimir Putin last week began air strikes on ISIS and other rebel forces seeking to overthrow Bashar Assad. A longtime ally of Syria, Russia wants to preserve its toehold on the Mediterranean, help Assad repel the threat, and keep the Islamic terrorists out of Damascus. Russia is also fearful that the fall of Assad would free up the Chechen terrorists in Syria to return to Russia. In intervening to save Assad, Putin is doing exactly what we are doing to save our imperiled allies in Baghdad and Kabul. Yet Putin's intervention has ignited an almost berserk reaction. John McCain has called for sending the Free Syrian Army surface-to-air missiles to bring down Russian planes. Not only could this lead to a U.S.-Russia clash, but U.S.-backed Syrian rebels have a record of transferring weapons to the al-Qaida affiliate. The end result of McCain's initiative, sending Stingers to Syria, could be airliners blown out of the sky across the Middle East. Hillary Clinton wants the U.S. to create a no-fly zone. And Friday's Wall Street Journal endorsed the idea: "Mr. Obama could make Mr. Putin pay a price. ... In Syria the U.S. could set up a no-fly zone to create a safe haven for refugees against ... Mr. Assad's bar- rel bombs. He could say U.S. planes will fly wherever they want, and if one is attacked the U.S. will respond in kind." U.S.-Russian dogfights over Syria are just fine with the Journal. Saturday's Washington Post seconded the motion, admonishing Obama: "Carve out safe zones. Destroy the helicopter fleet Mr. Assad uses for his war crimes." Has the War Party thought this through? Establishing a no-fly zone over Syria, which means shooting down Syrian fighter-bombers and helicopters, is an act of war. But when did Congress authorize the president to go to war with Syria? When last Obama requested such authority — in 2013, when chemical weapons were used — the American people arose as one to say no to U.S. intervention. Congress backed away without even voting. Unprovoked air strikes on Syrian government forces would represent an unauthorized and unconstitutional American war. Does the Party of the Constitution no longer care about the Constitution? Is a Republican Congress really willing to give Barack Obama a blank check to take us to war with Syria, should he choose to do so? Is this what America voted for in 2014? A no-fly zone means U.S. warplanes downing Syrian planes and helicopters and bombing antiaircraft defenses at Syrian airfields. To Damascus this would mean the Americans have committed to the defeat of their armed forces and downfall of their regime. The Syrians would fight — and not only the Syrian army. For Russia, Hezbollah and Iran are all allied to the Damascus regime, as all believe they have a vital interest in its survival. How would Russia, Iran and Hezbollah respond to U.S. air strikes on their ally? Would they pack it in and leave? Is that our experience with these folks? Today, the U.S. is conducting strikes on ISIS, and the al-Qaida affiliate. But if we begin to attack the Syrian army or air force, we will be in a new war where the entire Shiite Crescent of Iran, Baghdad, Damascus and Hezbollah, backed by Russia, will be on the other side. We will have taken the Sunni side in the SunniShiite sectarian long war. How long such a war would last, and how it would end, no one knows. Whatever one thinks of Putin's policy in Syria, at least it makes sense. He is supporting an ally, the Assad regime, against its enemies, who seek to overthrow that regime. It is U.S. policy in Syria that makes no sense. We train rebels at immense cost to fight Assad, who cannot or will not fight. We attack ISIS, which also seeks to bring down the Assad regime. And we, too, want to bring down Assad. Who do we think will rise if Assad falls? Do we have a "government in a box" that we think we can fly to Damascus and put into power if the Syrian army collapses, the regime falls and ISIS approaches the capital? Have we forgotten the lesson of "Animal Farm"? When the animals revolt and take over the farm, the pigs wind up in charge. For months, Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia has called on Congress to debate and decide before we launch any new war in the Middle East. One wishes him well. For it is obvious that the same blockheads who told us that if the Taliban and Saddam and Gadhafi fell, liberal democracy would arise and flourish, are now clamoring for another American war in Syria to bring down Assad. And who says stay out? Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, both of whom also opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq. There is something to be said for outsiders. – Patrick J.

It was the second time the Crusaders shut out the Chucks this season. In their first meeting, ECC won 1-0 on an own goal by Punxsutawney. “I’m very pleased with the way the kids played,” said ECC head coach TJ Weaver. “After the tough loss to DuBois Central, they rebounded well and I think they played hard. Last time down in Punxsy we won by an own goal from Punxsy, so to put three in tonight was really good. Not to have that letdown in the second half that we’ve been having the last couple games is really good too.” It did not take the Crusaders long to get on the board in the match. With a number of his classmates cheering him on, Frank Singer scored the opening goal of the match to put the Crusaders up 1-0 with 28:21 left in the first half. Roughly two minutes later the Crusaders scored again, this time on a goal by Valentyn Wolfe to increase their advantage to 2-0. Not content with the two-goal lead, ECC kept battling hard and Punxsutawney’s keeper came up with a number of nice saves to prevent the Crusaders from adding to their lead in the remainder of the half. One of Elk’s best chances came with 16:38 left before the break when a high shot got by the Chucks’ keeper but ended up hitting off the crossbar and going just over the goal. ECC keeper Patrick Hoffman also made a number of nice saves in both halves to help the Crusaders record the shutout. The Crusaders scored their final goal with 25:54 remaining in the match. Singer was bringing the ball down the right side of the field and made a nice pass to Wolfe in the middle. However, Wolfe was under pressure and the ball ended up going by him. Anthony Pollick came in from the left side of the field and was able to get to the ball and send a shot past Punxsy’s keeper to increase ECC’s lead to 3-0. Despite both teams’ best efforts, neither was able to score again, and the Crusaders held on to win 3-0. Now 12-3 on the season, Elk County Catholic will return to action on Thursday when they host the Ridgway Elkers in a 7 p.m. match at Angela Huey Memorial Field. Weaver noted that the contest will also be a pink game for the Crusaders in support of breast cancer awareness. He added that proceeds from the 50/50 and concession stand will benefit the American Cancer Society. “Hopefully a lot of people will come out,” Weaver said. Counting Thursday’s match, the Crusaders have three games remaining in the regular season. Next week they host the Brookville Raiders on Monday in their senior night game and then wrap up the season at Brockway on Thursday. Cubs hit six home runs, top Cardinals 8-6 for 2-1 lead in NLDS CHICAGO (AP) — The young sluggers of the Chicago Cubs are making themselves at home in the playoffs. On a rare off night for Jake Arrieta, the Windy City rookies bashed their way to the brink of the NL Championship Series — and into the record book. Jorge Soler, Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber connected as the Cubs set a postseason mark with six home runs in beating the St. Louis Cardinals 8-6 Monday for a 2-1 lead in the NL Division Series. Arrieta struck out nine before departing in the sixth inning, and the bullpen finished the job in the first playoff game at Wrigley Field in seven years. “To see the ball fly out of the yard as many times as it did was incredible,” Arrieta said. The Cubs held a share of the previous postseason homer record, hitting five in Game 1 of the 1984 NLCS against San Diego. A third straight win for the Cubs on Tuesday afternoon, and the once woebegone franchise will advance to the NLCS for the first time in 12 years. The Cardinals, who led the majors with 100 wins this season, have won at least one playoff series in each of the last four years. Jason Hammel starts at home in Game 4. John Lackey, who won the opener, pitches for the Cardinals. Jason Heyward and Stephen Piscotty homered for St. Louis, which got to Arrieta for four runs in his worst start in four months. But the Cardinals were unable to keep the Cubs in the ballpark. St. Louis trailed 8-4 before Piscotty hit a tworun shot with two out in the ninth, a scary moment for a towel-waving crowd of 42,411 used to playoff heartache. But Hector Rondon retired Matt Holliday on a harmless bouncer to second, and the party was on. Arrieta improved to 18-1 with a 1.00 ERA in his last 22 starts dating to June 21, but he was far from his usual dominant self. He hadn’t allowed more than three runs in a game since a June 16 loss to Cleveland. And it didn’t matter, not one bit. “Today we got his back — just like he always got our backs,” second baseman Starlin Castro said. Scholastic Schedule Schedule subject to change without notice.

Bryant’s two-run drive made it 4-2 with one out in the fifth and chased Wacha in favor of Kevin Siegrist. But Anthony Rizzo followed another long ball, a drive to right for his first hit of the playoffs. Even Adam Wainwright got into the act, serving up Soler’s two-run shot in the sixth. Soler, who struggled with injuries for much of the year, is 4 for 4 with two homers, four RBIs and five walks in the series. The final homer for Chicago went to Dexter Fowler, practically an elder statesman in Joe Maddon’s youthful lineup. Fowler doesn’t turns 30 until March, but Soler, Bryant, Rizzo, Schwarber and Castro are all 26 or younger.

ECC golfers down Kane Wolves By Jim Mulcahy Staff Writer The Elk County Catholic Crusader golf team defeated the Kane Wolves by a 220-251 score Monday afternoon at the Leaning Pines Golf Course. “It was another beautiful fall day for a match. Leaning Pines course is in great shape and our scores should have been a little better today. Coach Schneider gave the team a goal of 210 before the match. We had a score of 220 so we did not accomplish that goal,” said ECCHS coach Aaron Straub. ECC’s Jonah Meyer was medalist on the day with his 39. Behind Meyer for the Crusaders were Gabe Kraus, Nathan Schlosser and Nathan Dezanet all with 45s. Brady Schneider had a 46 followed by Ryan Newton 48, Ross Martin 49 and Tyler Wehler 56. For the Wolves, Jamie Rook had a 42 followed by Conner Crowley 47, Alex Rezzelle 49, Christopher Park 51, Dylan Keller 62 and Ben Holt 74. “Jonah was the med- alist today and got off to a great start and was 1-under after three holes. He finished bogeying five out of the last six holes. It is still a good round,” said Straub. In exhibition, ECC’s Nick Daghir had a 48 and Bryce O’Leary had a 51. “We’re looking forward to Wednesday’s match against Ridgway at Leaning Pines,” added Straub. Elk Catholic will close out their season Wednesday when they host the Elkers at 3:30 p.m. at Leaning Pines. Blue Jays force Game 5 in ALDS with 8-4 win at Texas ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Sure, R.A. Dickey was disappointed when he saw Blue Jays manager John Gibbons walking toward the mound. The 40-year-old knuckleballer had a six-run lead and was one out shy of qualifying for a win in his first postseason start. Dickey also knew he was handing the ball off to a fellow Cy Young winner, and Toronto went on to beat the Texas Rangers 8-4 on Monday to force a decid- Bell’s 1-yard TD run at buzzer lifts Steelers over Chargers SAN DIEGO (AP) — Le’Veon Bell scored on a 1-yard wildcat run as time expired to give Mike Vick and the Pittsburgh Steelers a stunning 24-20 victory over the San Diego Chargers on Monday night. With 5 seconds left, Bell took the direct snap, ran left and was buried in traffic before diving for the end zone and getting the ball across the line as Donald Butler dragged him down. Thousands of Pittsburgh fans waving Terrible Towels went nuts as the Steelers improved to 3-2. San Diego dropped to 2-3. Vick, having an awful game until the fourth quarter, kept the drive alive with a 24-yard scramble up the middle and then a 16-yard pass to Heath Miller one play before Bell’s big run. San Diego rookie Josh Lambo kicked a go-ahead, 54-yard field goal with 2: 56 left. ing Game 5 at home in the AL Division Series. “When you look over your shoulder and you’ve got a guy like this coming in behind you, it makes it a whole lot easier to give the ball to Gibby,” Dickey said, with David Price seated to his right after the game. “It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you don’t care who gets the credit. ... We’re going back to Toronto with a chance.” Toronto led 3-0 even before Dickey threw his first pitch, with Josh Donaldson and Chris Colabello homering in the first inning. “That’s great. If you could script it, obviously, that’s what you’d want,” said Donaldson, who has reached safely in five of his last nine appearances, including two homers in the series. The Blue Jays made it three homers in the first eight batters against Derek Holland when Kevin Pillar connected in the second for a 4-0 lead. Pillar’s drive was caught by Price, who was playing catch in the bullpen with Marcus Stroman. Game 5 is Wednesday. Cole Hamels starts for the Rangers against Stroman in a rematch from Game 2, which Texas won in 14 innings. After losing the first two games in the series at home, the Blue Jays won both games in Texas in a span of 24 hours. “Our mindset the whole time has been you’ve got to win three games, however you do it, when you do it,” said Pillar, who also had a pair of RBI singles. “But it’s definitely nice knowing flying home we’ve got another game.” Dickey, the 2012 NL Cy Young winner when he won 20 games for the New York Mets, allowed one run over 4 2-3 innings and was pulled with a 7-1 lead, with a runner on base. Shin-Soo Choo, already with two hits, was coming to the plate. “It was hard for me to do, but I thought that was the best way to win the game, keep them from coming back,” Gibbons said. “Probably not a relationship-building move, but a team win, that’s what I was looking for.” Price needed only one pitch to retire Choo to end the fifth, and went three innings to get the win after losing in the series opener. Only two teams in MLB history have lost a best-offive series after winning the first two games on the road — Oakland against the New York Yankees in 2001, and Cincinnati to San Francisco in 2012. On the way to their first World Series in 2010, the Rangers won the first two games of the ALDS at Tampa Bay, then lost Games 3 and 4 at home before winning the deciding fifth game against the Rays on the road. SMA and ECC meet in DuBois for AA team title The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch and the Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader tennis teams will meet Wednesday to determine the District 9 Class AA team champion. The match has been scheduled for 3:30 p.m. at the DuBois Area High School courts. The winner of the match will advance to the first round of the PIAA Class AA Tournament scheduled for Oct. 27. 6 The Daily Press Tuesday, October 13, 2015 Redbank Valley edges Lady Dutch soccer 4-3 By Jim Mulcahy Staff Writer The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch soccer team saw their record slip to 10-5-1 on the season as they lost a 4-3 match to the Redbank Valley Lady Bulldogs Monday at the SMAHS soccer field. The Lady Dutch came out strong and went up 2-0 in the first eight minutes of the game on two goals by Kaitlyn Barackman. However, the Lady Bulldogs responded with four first-half goals to take a 4-2 lead at the half. “We lost focus and played on our heels for most of the first half. We settled down at halftime but you just can’t get behind like that,” said St. Marys coach Eric Bridges. “You have to play a full and complete game. I was happy with the finish. I challenged them at halftime and they responded. But you have to play with intensity the whole game,” added Bridges. The Lady Dutch start- ed the game with a goal at the 36:43 mark when Barackman scored her first goal of the game. With 32:34 left in the first half, Barackman scored again giving the Lady Dutch the 2-0 lead. The Lady Bulldogs were able to get off a couple of shots. SMA keeper Rachel Bauer came up with a big save at the 26:30 mark. Barackman had a penalty kick with 22:52 but the shot went over the Redbank goal. Redbank Valley got on the board with 20:34 left when Jasmine Adams scored from the right side. Less than a minute later Raegen Neiswonger scored for Redbank to even the match at 2-all. SMA’s Nicole Muccio had a shot with 15:45 to go but it just missed the mark. Redbank went up 3-2 on a penalty kick by Adams with 15:02. Both teams had opportunities in the closing minutes of the first half but could not capitalize. With 31 seconds remaining in the first half the Lady Bulldogs went up 4-2 on a goal by Adams making the score 4-2 at the half. The start of the second half was back and forth as neither team took control. St. Marys had a corner kick at the 33:30 mark but could not take advantage of it. The Lady Dutch had a couple of free kick opportunities but were not able to take advantage of them. The Lady Dutch cut the Redbank lead to 4-3 with 11:01 left on a goal by Nicole Muccio which just cleared the outstretched hands of the Redbank keeper. In the final minutes of the game, St. Marys put the pressure on the Lady Bulldogs but could not get the ball into the net as Redbank Valley won 4-3.

Lady Crusaders and Lady Chucks battle to 1-1 draw in 2OT By Becky Polaski Staff Writer Despite a hard-fought match by both the Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders and Punxsutawney Lady Chucks, Monday afternoon’s meeting between the two teams at Benzinger Park ended up without a winner. Both squads had a number of opportunities, but each was able to capitalize only once, resulting in a 1-1 tie at the end of double overtime. “This is a strong team. We got beat the first time we played them,” said ECC head coach Dr. Chris Cole. When the teams met in Punxsutawney in late September the Lady Chucks were able to score midway through the second half to edge ECC 1-0. Cole remarked that he was pleased with how his squad performed in Monday’s match. “We played well enough to win, but that’s soccer. You don’t always win when you play well enough to win,” Cole said. “I think we’re satisfied that we’re continuing to improve. He noted that the team had also shown improvement when they faced DuBois Central Catholic last Friday. “DCC is probably one of the top two or three teams in the league. They played well there, so that’s all we can do. We’re just going to keep getting better every game and hopefully when we face teams for the second time it’s going to be a different outcome. I’m proud of the kids,” Cole said. Both teams took some nice shots in the opening minutes of the match, but strong play by the keepers and defenders kept the ball out of either goal. One of the Lady Crusaders’ best chances in the first half came roughly 3:30 before the break when a shot took a bounce over Punxsy’s keeper and looked to be headed into the goal. However, the keeper was able to catch the ball as it came down and keep it clear of the goal, and the match was still scoreless after the first 40 minutes of play. The Lady Crusaders struck first early in the second half, getting on the board on a nice shot by Jenna Labant. “It was a beautiful goal,” Cole said. “That was a picture perfect soccer goal.” The goal gave ECC a 1-0 lead with 35:13 remaining in the match. Despite the Lady Crusaders’ best efforts to maintain the advantage, Punxsutawney was able to get the ball past ECC keeper Mikayla Cashmer just past the midway point, knotting the score at 1-all with 19:44 left in regulation. Neither team was able to break the tie, so the match headed into overtime. The Lady Crusaders came out shooting, with Maddie Sorg putting a nice shot wide of the net within the opening minute of the first overtime period. ECC ended up with a lot of chances and kept the ball mainly on Punxsutawney’s side of the field for the majority of the first overtime, but they were unable to take advantage of their oppor- tunities and get another shot past Punxsutawney’s keeper. The second overtime saw more balanced play with both teams having some good chances. Cashmer came up with a big save for the Lady Crusaders with just over three minutes remaining to keep the Lady Chucks from stealing the win. In the end, neither team could get the shot they needed and the match ended in a 1-1 tie. Now 4-9-1 on the season, the Lady Crusaders will return to action on Wednesday when they travel to Smethport on Wednesday to take on the Lady Hubbers in a 4:30 p.m. match.

N TheDailyPress www.smdailypress.com 9 The Daily Press Tuesday, October 13, 2015 ANNIE’S MAILBOX® COPYRIGHT 2001 CREATORS SINDICATE, INC. Dear Annie: My wife and I are in our early 70s and have two daughters. The younger one lives nearby, is married and has a 2-yearold. The older one, “Deirdre,” is divorced from a verbally and emotionally abusive husband. We had warned Deirdre against marrying this man because they seemed incompatible, but we were supportive when she insisted she loved him. They moved 2,500 miles away, and we traveled as often as possible to see her and show that we cared. When she called at 3 a.m., crying and begging me to talk to her husband, I traveled alone to comply. We suggested they seek counseling, which they did, but it didn’t help. When Deirdre filed for divorce, we paid for her lawyer. When her ex left her high and dry, we paid for a new car so she could get to work and drive her daughter to school. We pay their airfare to come here for summers and holidays. Annie, we are on a fixed income and it takes a lot of sacrificing to pay for all of these expenses. When we visit, my wife cooks and helps our granddaughter with her homework, while I clean house and take her to and from school. Meanwhile, she has become just as confrontational as her mother. The girl never says thank you, is not affectionate toward us and has no respect for our authority. Recently, Deirdre became angry when our granddaughter called her at work in tears over a broken necklace. We were partly blamed for the incident and we flew back home upset and are currently not on speaking terms with Deirdre. I recently sent her a birthday card with a check, telling her that I will gest it, but again, keep your expectations in check. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run. Dear Annie: Oct. 13 is Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day. Metastatic breast cancer is cancer that has spread from the breast to other organs in the body, most commonly the bones, liver, lungs or brain. Unfortunately, most of us diagnosed with MBC will eventually die from the disease. Additional research and treatment development will help a great many patients in the future. Please urge your readers to get informed. -New York Dear New York: Thank you for the timely reminder. Anyone who is interested in more information always love her. I don’t want to sever relations, but this relationship negatively affects my wife and I wonder whether there is a better solution. -- Up the Creek Without a Paddle Dear Creek: Yes. Let go. Deirdre is difficult and her life with an abuser didn’t help. Her daughter is a combination of her parents, so you cannot expect sweetness and light from the girl. What you can do is accept them as they are. You are equating your financial sacrifices with your treatment, but it won’t always match up. Do what you feel comfortable doing, but without expecting an emotional reward. Deirdre and her daughter could benefit from counseling, and you can sug- 0LOOLRQ'ROODU+Z\ CROSSWORD By Eugene Sheffer (c) 2015 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Palmer can now safely return to Zimbabwe as a "tourist" because he had not broken the southern African country's hunting laws, Environment, Water and Climate Minister Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri told reporters in Harare on Monday. Zimbabwe's police and the National Prosecuting Authority had cleared Palmer of wrongdoing, she said. Through an adviser, Palmer declined comment. Palmer was identified as the man who killed Cecil in a bow hunt. Cecil, a resident of Hwange National park in western Zimbabwe, was well-known to tourists and researchers for his distinctive black mane. Muchinguri-Kashiri had said in July that Zimbabwean police and prosecutors would work to get Palmer returned to Zimbabwe to face poaching charges. On Monday, she told reporters in Harare that Palmer can now safely return to Zimbabwe as a "tourist" because he had not broken this wildlife-rich southern African country's hunting laws. "He is free to come, not for hunting, but as a tourist," Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri told reporters. "It turned out that Palmer came to Zimbabwe because all the papers were in order." Cat expert Alan Rabinowitz, chief executive of the New York-based cat conservation organization Panthera, said in response that "the bar must be raised" for any legal hunting of wild cats because wild lion populations are declining in most parts of Africa. "Cecil the lion's killing, sadly, is but one case in a broad-based human assault on these majestic animals, even where they are supposedly protected," Rabinowitz said in a statement Monday. Palmer was the subject of extradition talk in Zimbabwe and a target of protests in the United States, particularly in Minnesota, where he has a dental practice, after he was identified as the man who killed Cecil the lion in a bow hunt. Cecil roamed in Hwange National Park in western Zimbabwe. Messages left Monday with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which was handling a U.S. investigation into Palmer, weren't immediately returned.

Webinar to examine how shale gas development is affecting health, welfare UNIVERSITY PARK – How shale-gas development is affecting public, animal and environmental health will be the topic of a Web-based seminar offered by Penn State Extension. This presentation, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 15, will feature David Wolfgang, extension veterinarian and co-director of the Center for Animal Care and Health in Penn State's Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences. He will cover recent research on the subject. "Marcellus Shale gas exploration and development, which crosses many disciplines, both excites and frightens people. From a one-health perspective, there are concerns as well as advantages compared to other forms of energy or land use," Wolfgang said. "As this resource is being used and developed, citizens and policymakers should look critically at the pros and cons and make informed choices that minimize risk to public and animal health --versus simply considering the economic benefits." The webinar is free, but registration is necessary. To register, visit the Penn State Extension Natural Gas Events Web page at http://extension.psu. edu/naturalgas/events.
