Amateur photographers have made valuable contributions to historical society
By Becky Polaski
Staff Writer
Editor’s note: This is the 10th
in a series of articles based on a
presentation made by local historian Ray Beimel on the photographers who have helped document
the community’s history.
-A number of the photographers who took photos that have
come to hold historic value for
the community were amateurs,
not professionals. Among them
were Bryce Garner and Walter
Schaut. Both men were the descendants of important individuals in St. Marys’ history. Garner
was descended from Ignatius
Garner, while Schaut was the son
of Charlie Schaut.
Local historical and photog-
rapher Ray Beimel discussed
both men during his recent presentation on some of the photographers who have helped document the community’s history.
Beginning
with
Garner,
Beimel noted that he lived on
North St. Marys Street and
worked at Stackpole.
“Bryce took pictures of things
that nobody else would have
thought of,” Beimel said. “In
1952, Smith Brothers closed up.”
As a photograph representing
Garner’s
contributions,
Beimel selected a color image
that he took showing the department store in its last days. He
indicated that he particularly enjoyed a sign located on the right

Birthday Bash held at BV Senior Center
Photo submitted
Members of the Bennetts Valley Senior Center held their monthly Birthday Bash on Nov. 23. The
afternoon was spent visiting, playing games and coloring a page from Creative Coloring Inspirations book. The November honorees received many well wishes and a great Happy Birthday
tribute sung by their many friends. The occasion was hosted by Alta Smith of Gardner Hill.
Those celebrating October birthdays were Roseanna Chiodo of Weedville, and Laura Seduski
of Penfield. Refreshments were served to all members and guests. Shown from left to right are
Laura Seduski, Bob Poinelli, Gina Kunes, and Rosanna Chiodo. As a side note adult coloring is
offered on Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. but may also be done at a member’s leisure. Coloring for
adults offers complete absorption. The creativity comes with envisioning the color selection and
how it will play throughout the piece, while the tactical involves applying decisions to the artist’s
design. Both keep the right brain from taking over and wandering where it wants, as it does
when you just doodle.
Pa. Farm Show stops sale of Confederate flag items
HARRISBURG (AP)
— The Pennsylvania
Farm Show has stopped
six vendors from selling
items decorated with the
Confederate flag symbol.
Brandi Hunter-Davenport, press secretary
for the state Department
of Agriculture, tells LNP
that the vendors must
stop selling the items or
they’ll be asked to leave.
The flags are seen by
some to symbolize racism
and the press secretary
says the farm show disagrees “with any items
that symbolize the oppression or intolerance of
others.”
John
Lewis,
who
manages the Wandering
Cowboys booth that sold
some of the items, says
they are bought by people
seeking a “country boy
persona.”
The flags became
more of an issue after a
mentally disturbed young
white man posed with the
flag before he was charged
with fatally shooting nine
people at a black South
Carolina church in June.

HARRISBURG (AP) —
Pennsylvania’s Republicancontrolled House of Representatives voted Tuesday to
stop Democratic Gov. Tom
Wolf’s use of a formula that
targets extra subsidy money
for school districts hardesthit by past spending cuts,
charging that he lacks that
authority.
Representatives voted
111-81 along mostly party
lines Tuesday to amend the
fiscal code bill, an important
component of the various
bills that make up a state
budget. The bill now goes
back to the Senate for further action.
After budget talks collapsed in December, Republicans approved a scaleddown $30.3 billion budget.
Wolf released much of the
money, including overdue
payments for school districts and social services,
but has stressed the need
for new taxes to increase
school subsidies and rein in
a structural deficit.
Democrats accused the
majority party of wasting
time on minor issues while
state government scrapes
by on a partial budget for
the fiscal year that began
July 1 while there has been
no movement toward reviving negotiations.
“Here we are again,
going through a legislative activity that will have
no end in sight,” said Rep.
Joe Markosek, the ranking Democrat on the House
Appropriations Committee.
“Shouldn’t we be negotiating a real budget?”
At issue is a hybrid formula Wolf is using to ensure
that districts disproportionately hurt by cuts under the
previous GOP administration, including Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh and many smaller cities, are adequately
compensated.
Republicans say that
proposal was part of a larger budget agreement that
crashed in December and
that he lacks the authority
to use it. House GOP leaders contend that subsidies
that exceed last year’s levels should be distributed
through a new permanent
formula that a bipartisan
commission crafted last
year.
“There are good reasons
to reject this,” Mike Hanna,
the House Democratic whip,
told GOP lawmakers before
the vote. “Your caucus is the
only caucus that believes
this is the way to go.”

Meet Elk and McKean County’s
Top Deer Hunters tomorrow night,
Annual “Big Buck” contest
banquet, the winners are…New
weather page 2, Dave’s Saw Shop,
and other Bits & Pieces…
This area’s best of the best hunters
to gather at the Johnsonburg Fire
Hall tomorrow night.
Tomorrow (Thursday) at 5 p.m., the staff here at the newspaper will award the BIG BUCK prizes, sell 50/50 raffle tickets
and offer door prizes. The Johnsonburg Fire Hall will be filled
with all of our area’s TOP hunters and their families for a night
of fun and great food. Tickets at the door are only a measly $10
and that includes a nice meal. Everyone is welcome to come and
join the fun…I hope to meet all of you.
Around these parts folks hunt deer. Some people in other
cities don’t realize what it’s like out there in the deer woods.
They don’t know the pleasure Pennsylvania hunters derive from
makeshift camps in the deep woods, the feeling of something
special inside while watching deer do their thing…in the wild—
unaware of our presence. I have met a number of sharp, skilled Harlan J. Beagley
hunters this year as they brought in their bucks to be measured
Publisher
for our BIG BUCK CONTEST. For me, I have never shot anything that you would call a trophy kill [Not yet]. The true result in my house has
been the venison in the freezer [Kim doesn’t care how big, she just wants the meat].
I am truly excited to meet and greet Elk and McKean’s finest hunters tomorrow and
make some friends for next year’s hunt.
The sponsor and prize list is truly amazing, these adult and youth hunters are
going to really get taken care of by our local businesses. For the winners it’s like
Christmas all over again! There are too many big prizes to mention here but we will
put out a special section and list each one directly following the announcements this
week.
More improvements to the paper. The
Daily Press now offers a high-end weather
forecast. See page two each day
“I can’t read the weather info, it’s just too small,” said reader Ralph Anderson. We
received quite a number of comments and complaints about the size and the graphics of the forecast we had running in the paper. However, it wasn’t always bad, a
few months back the service changed things, they went with smaller fonts and our
telephone started ringing. I hope this works well for you. I just called some of the
readers [that called us] to tell them the good news, they are kind of excited [a little
bit, it’s just a forecast LOL]. It will give you the three-day forecast and some other
cool information so please let Managing Editor Joe Bell and I know what you think.
Dave’s Saw Shop warmed up John Diebel’s
boots, winners named in scavenger hunt.
I was invited to Dave’s
Saw Shop this week to
take a picture of one of
our “Holiday Scavenger
Hunt Contest” winners,
John Diebel Sr. John was
awarded the Peet-Boot
warmer from Bill, Ruthie and the crew over at
Dave’s Saw Shop. Back
on Dec. 30, we published
the winners and prizes
of this contest, if you
missed that, here you go:
Carl Brendel won a $100
gift certificate from Mark
at the Detail Shop. Tami
Anzinger won a microDave’s Saw awarded reader John Diebel Sr. a nice boot- wave from Bill and Kim
warmer for correctly answering all the scavenger ques- at Western Home Applitions that included: Q. What dangerous object hangs ances. Kathy Wittman
above the “lumber jack” in Dave’s Saw Shop? A. Hive won, she gets a nice gift
from Art and his staff at
[wasp nest]. Congratulations John.
Phillips Jewelers. Mary
Pfaff won a $50 certificate from David and his fine crew at Shoe Sensations. Sandy Anderson won a gift
from the creative minds at Defined By Ink. Tina Bauer gets a free six-month subscription to the newspaper from my staffers.
If your name is mentioned and you have not picked up your prize call me on my
cell (509-770-6598) and I will put your pretty picture in the paper [Or just help you
get your winnings]. It truly pays off well to shop on “The South End of St. Marys.”
Thank you for playing.

Bad Joke of the Day: A duck, a skunk and a deer went out for dinner at a nice
Ridgway restaurant one night. When it came time to pay, the skunk didn’t have a
scent, the deer didn’t have a buck, so they put the meal on the duck’s bill [I said it
was bad, LOL].
Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
Please do not let youth
baseball die in Fox Township and Bennetts Valley.
This is a letter to those
interested in youth baseball in Fox Township and
Bennetts Valley. We have
had a Senior Little League
program for young people
between 13 and 16 years
of age in Fox Township
and Bennetts Valley for
many years. Many people
have invested a great deal
of themselves into ensuring that the young people
in Fox Township and Bennetts Valley have had the
opportunity to play Senior
Little League baseball.
In recent years, the development of travel teams
and consolidation of certain players into leagues
outside of the geographic
area where they live have
set Senior Little League
baseball in Fox Township and Bennetts Valley
on a path that will likely
lead to its end in the near
future. I acknowledge the
value and attraction of
playing on travel teams
and of consolidating some
of the best players in
certain leagues. Travel
teams and consolidation,
however, should not be
pursued at the expense
of destroying local youth
baseball leagues.
Youth baseball rests on
the fundamental principle
of providing opportunities
for the greatest number of
your people to participate
with the least amount of
expense and travel as possible. This principle does
not ignore the fact that
some players are better
than others and want to
develop their skills accordingly through travel
teams and consolidation.
But many families cannot afford the travel and
expense that travel teams
and consolidation generate, and the limited spaces
open on travel teams and
through consolidation will
inevitably leave many
young people and their
families behind. Those
who are left behind will
not have any opportunity
to play because there will
not be enough of them
to operate a functioning
league in their community.
If you are a parent of a
young person of any age
in Fox Township of Bennetts Valley, and your
child would like to play
baseball, I urge you to
sign him or her up to play
in the Fox Township and
Bennetts Valley league.
We will make the
league the best league we
can, but we cannot do so
if travel teams and consolidation leave the rest
of the players behind. If
you would also like your
child to play on a travel
team, we will try our best
to accommodate that as
well. Please do not let
youth baseball, particularly Senior Little League
baseball, die in Fox Township and Bennetts Valley.
Thank you for taking time
to read this letter.

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
I wish to acknowledge
City Council members
for caring for our community, for taking an
interest in all aspects
of the city, and for the
support and trust given
to me, in the election of
the Hospital Authority,
and Board of Health.
Being an "old-fashioned
hands-on" nurse, my
training was different
than it is today. For the
most part, I'm happy
about the improvements
medicine has made. But
there is nothing like the
human touch…physically, mentally, spiritually
and emotionally…which
equals "total care." Total
care takes time, something that is a commodity
these days. Specialists
are great when needed,
but "total care" means
just that…total care, not
just the left leg.
Our hospital can do so
many positive things for
total care, right here in
Elk County. For the sake
of good health, locally.
Some council members
misunderstood the purpose of the "Concerned
Citizens United" organization, and myself. We
are for the community
and a local hospital. We
want a well-experienced
staff, good working
equipment where we can
receive needed treatment in a timely manner.
We want to find ways
that our good and loyal
hospital employees are
not afraid of being told
"tomorrow, you no longer
have a job here."
If the St. Marys Ambulance service has
increased their trips to
DuBois by approximately
300 percent with our local
people, then we have a
problem. Have we gotten
that much sicker, or is
it because of becoming a
critical access transport
station? With all of these
trips to DuBois, naturally the census is down,
which causes less revenue
here, thus the downsizing, which has a negative
ripple effect throughout
Elk County.
The council spoke of
economic development,
especially manufacturing.
Two most important
areas of concern in relocating, are schools (which
are good here) and good
medical care locally. Otherwise, they go elsewhere.
I believe in sound
health for everyone and
will remain loyal to my
profession and the community. Thank you for
hearing another side.
Happy New Year and may
God bless you.
Priscilla Phillips, R.N.

WASHINGTON (AP)
— The Republican-controlled House approved a
bill Tuesday blocking new
Obama
administration
regulations designed to
reduce the environmental impact of coal mining
on the nation’s streams.
The White House
has vowed to veto the
bill, saying the proposed
rules would protect about
6,500 miles of streams
nationwide while ensuring that mountains damaged by coal mining are
restored once mining is
completed.
The bill was approved, 235-188, and now
goes to the Senate.
The Obama administration says the longplanned stream-protection rules will result in
modest job losses once
they are finalized later
this year.
But Republicans said
tens of thousands of jobs
in the coal industry would
be lost. Coal already is
struggling under steep
competition from cheaper
and cleaner-burning natural gas, as well as regulations aimed at reducing
greenhouse-gas pollution
that contributes to climate change.
U.S. coal production
has fallen to its low-
est level in nearly 30
years, and several coal
companies have filed for
bankruptcy protection in
recent months, including two of the country’s
biggest coal producers,
Virginia-based
Alpha
Natural Resources Inc.
and Missouri-based Arch
Coal Inc.
Rep Alex Mooney,
R-W.Va., said the streamprotection rule would
wipe out thousands of
jobs in West Virginia
while raising energy
costs for businesses and
families.
“West Virginia is
blessed to be abundant
in natural resources. Unfortunately, the president
is intent on destroying
coal as a domestic energy
source,” Mooney said.
Rep. Doug Lamborn,
R-Colo., said passage of
the House bill “halts a
destructive rulemaking
process from the Obama
administration and provides an avenue for collaborative
approaches
designed to address deficiencies in the existing
rule, save jobs and protect the American taxpayer.”
Rep. Alan Lowenthal,
D-Calif., said the bill
would result in negative
health effects for communities where mining
occurs.
Land-use webinar
series to kick off Jan. 20
UNIVERSITY PARK –
The recent Reed v. Town of
Gilbert Supreme Court case
and its implications for municipal sign ordinances will
be the topic of a Web-based
seminar that will kick off the
2016 Winter/Spring Land
Use Webinar Series offered
by Penn State Extension.
Presenting the 75-minute webinar, which will take
place at noon on Jan. 20, will
be Charles Courtney, attorney with McNees, Wallace
& Nurick LLC, and Marley
Bice, certified planner with
the Montgomery County
Planning Commission.
“In the Reed v. Town of
Gilbert case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Gilbert’s sign code violates the
First Amendment pertaining to the core First Amendment requirement of content
neutrality, by placing greater restrictions on ‘temporary
direction signs,’ including
those directing the public to
a church,” said Courtney. He
will provide an analysis of
the Supreme Court opinion
and how it may affect sign
ordinances for municipalities.
Local governments must
look at revising their sign
regulations to address the
content-neutral, temporary/
limited-duration signs that
were included in the Reed v.
Town of Gilbert decision, according to Bice.
“I will address the content-neutral,
temporary
sign issue by looking at the
innovative ideas and regulations that are included in the
Montgomery County Model
Sign Ordinance,” Bice said.
“In addition, the ordinance
provides a guide for how to
create context-sensitive sign
standards.”
That model sign ordinance contains specific
standards for six different
zoning district types --rural,
residential, main street commercial, village commercial,
general commercial/industrial and institutional -- that
allow for more appropriate
sign size and illumination
criteria based on the community character.
Other webinars offered
in the monthly land-use series, which all start at noon
and are recorded for future
viewing, include the following:
Feb. 17: “When It
Rains, It Drains: An Overview of MS4 Stormwater
Management”
March 16: “Dealing
with Conflict over Natural
Resource and Land Use Issues: An Introduction to the

April 13: “Stabilizing

Pentagon: 2 US Navy boats held
by Iran but will be returned
Penn Highlands corner
By Lolita C. Baldor and
Matthew Lee
Associated Press
Summertime is a long
way off, but you can start
getting ready now, according to Dr. Ryan Rice,
board-certified plastic and
reconstructive surgeon at
Penn Highlands Healthcare.
“Now is the perfect
time to start thinking
about laser hair removal,”
Rice said. The best time
is while the skin is pale
and while you’re not worried about the in between
stages because you’re
covered up with sweaters
and long pants.
Rice can remove any
hair anywhere on the
body – legs, neck, back,
bikini line or face. It can
be course or fine. The only
stipulation is that the
hair must be darker than
the person’s skin tone.
Darker hair is best. Why?
The laser, or light
energy, is selectively
absorbed by the pigment
in the hair follicles and
converted to heat. This injures the stem cells in the
hair follicle causing it not
to grow again. Lasers can
selectively target dark
hairs while leaving the
surrounding skin undamaged.
Effective hair reduction can only be achieved
during the active growth
phase. After a series of
treatments, most hair is
permanently removed. If
hair does re-grow it will
be finer and lighter than
before.
Hair removal can be
done at Rice’s office in
DuBois located at the
Rice Complex on Beaver
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Iran was holding 10 U.S.
Navy sailors and their two
small boats that drifted
into Iranian waters after
experiencing
mechanical
problems. Iran accused the
sailors of trespassing but
American officials said Tehran has assured them that
the crew and vessels would
be returned safely and
promptly.
The sailors, nine men
and one woman, were being
held overnight at an Iranian base on Farsi Island in
the Persian Gulf, and were
expected to be transferred

Drive.
It doesn’t require
anesthesia and there is
minimal discomfort, Rice
said. Afterwards, a person
would ice on the affected
skin spot and apply lotion.
“It takes a few treatments to get all the hair,”
Rice said. There are about
five to seven sessions,
and they are spaced six
weeks apart. Each time,
20-30 percent of the hair
is reduced.
The time at each
session is based on the
amount of hair to remove. Each pulse of the
laser takes a fraction of
a second and can treat
many hairs at the same
time. The laser can treat
an area approximately
the size of a quarter every
second. Small areas such
as the upper lip can be
treated quicker than large
areas, such as the back or
legs. Rice suggests to plan
on an hour or more for a
session.
“Now is a good
time for this,” Rice said.
“People are not out in the
sun.” Does it matter if you

No, he said, “skin tone
doesn’t matter as long as
the hair is darker than
the skin.”
Rice has an experienced esthetician who
helps him provide this
service. Laser hair removal is one of the most
commonly done cosmetic
procedures in the U.S
For those planning
laser hair removal, you
should limit plucking,
waxing and electrolysis
for six weeks before treatment to be sure the hairs'
roots are there for treatment.
Afterwards, sun exposure is limited for several weeks while the area
heals. Over that time, the
treated hair will fall out.
Side effects are swelling and redness. Permanent scarring or changes
in skin color are rare.
How much is laser
hair removal? It is not
covered by insurance. The
cost varies based on size
of the area being treated
and time required for
treatment.

Pentagon spokesman
Peter Cook told The Associated Press that the Riverine
boats were moving between
Kuwait and Bahrain when
the U.S. lost contact with
them.
U.S. officials said that
the incident happened near

of the Gulf. They said some
type of mechanical trouble
with one of the boats caused
them to drift into Iranian

Clarion University SBDC receives accreditation
South St. Marys Street, looking toward the Diamond, is shown in 1950.
Where it intersects with State Street is at the left. Note that the street is twoway and you can park on either side of the road. This is before the boulevard was
constructed and Elk Creek, which was covered in 1957, flows between South St.
Marys Street on the left and an unpaved access road on the right. The crossing
gates for the railroad at the south end of the Diamond are visible in the distance.
Navy
territorial waters near the
island, and they were picked
up by Iran.
The semi-official Iranian news agency, FARS, said
the Iranian Revolutionary
Guard’s navy has detained
10 foreign forces, believed to
be Americans, and said the
sailors were trespassing in
Iranian waters.
“We have been in contact with Iran and have received assurances that the
crew and the vessels will be
returned promptly,” Cook
said.
The incident came amid
heightened tensions with
Iran, and only hours before
President Barack Obama
was set to deliver his final
State of the Union address
to Congress and the public.
It set off a dramatic series of
calls and meetings as U.S.
officials tried to determine
the exact status of the crew
and reach out to Iranian
leaders.
Secretary of State John
Kerry, who forged a personal
relationship with Iranian
Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif through
three years of nuclear negotiations, called Zarif immediately on learning of the incident, according to a senior
U.S. official. Kerry “personally engaged with Zarif on
this issue to try to get to this
outcome,” the official said.
Kerry learned of the
incident around 12:30 p.m.
EST as he and Defense
Secretary Ash Carter were
meeting their Filipino counterparts at the State Department, the official said.
Officials said the sailors were part of Riverine
Squadron 1 based in San
Diego and were deployed to
the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet in
Bahrain. When the U.S. lost
contact with the boats, ships
attached to the USS Harry
S Truman aircraft carrier
strike group began search-
ing the area, along with aircraft flying off the Truman.
Officials said a radio
signal from one of the boats
showed that they were on
Farsi Island, setting off efforts to contact the Iranians.
The Riverine boats were not
part of the carrier strike
group, and were on a training mission as they traveled
between Kuwait and Bahrain, officials said.
The Riverine boats are
not considered high-tech
and don’t contain any sensitive equipment, so there
were no concerns about the
Iranians gaining access to
the crafts.
The officials were not
authorized to discuss the
sensitive incident publicly
so spoke on condition of anonymity.

CLARION – Clarion
University Small Business
Development Center, one
of 18 centers in Pennsylvania, recently received
accreditation by the National Association of Small
Business
Development
Centers. The SBDC provides entrepreneurs and
existing small businesses
in Armstrong, Cameron,
Clarion, Clearfield, Elk,
Forest, Jefferson, McKean,
Potter and Venango counties with one-on-one consulting, information and
education to help businesses start, grow and prosper.
During the past year
the Clarion University
SBDC provided 7,500
hours of one-on-one consulting to 461 clients,
assisted clients with securing financing for projects totaling more than
$11,000,000 and provided
entrepreneurial training
to more than 1,500 individuals. The Clarion University SBDC was recognized in 2012, 2013 and
2014 by the Small Business Administration Pittsburgh District with the
Annual Impact Award. For
more information on the
Clarion University SBDC
services, visit http://web.
clarion.edu/sbdc/.
“This report is a testament to the skills and
expertise of the network’s
staff and the impact of
their work in helping
small businesses grow and
prosper,” said Pennsylvania SBDC state director
Christian Conroy. “The report offers solid and strong
observations of the team’s
findings during their review, commendations on
five program components,
and several recommendations to help us in continuing to build on our long
record of impressive performance.”
“The
Pennsylvania
Small Business Development Center Network is
commended for both its
dedication and commitment to the pursuit of
continuous improvement,”
said Beth Melnik, chair of
the ASBDC Accreditation
Committee.
“Accreditation is important for each
SBDC and is essential for
the national SBDC program to be recognized as
a provider of high quality
business education and
advising that results in
credible economic impact.”
This is the fifth time
the Pennsylvania SBDC
program has been awarded accreditation. In this
year’s report, the Pennsylvania program received
five commendations which
highlighted best practices:
nHosting grand openings and ribbon cutting
events for new business
start-ups;
Engaging
undergraduate and graduate
students in the work of the
SBDC;
Development of a
comprehensive disaster/
continuity checklist for
businesses as part of its
business continuity services;
Close working relationship with economic development partner organizations;
Encouraging
program recipients to inform
stakeholders of the impact
of SBDC services.
The accreditation review process, mandated by
Congress, is based on the
Malcolm Baldrige Quality Program developed by
the National Institute of
Standards and Technology
to assure that SBDC programs operate efficiently
and effectively. Failure to
achieve accreditation can
result in the loss of federal
funding.
A four-member team
composed of the leaders
of SBDC programs in Virginia, Maryland, Texas
and Colorado conducted
review. The team assessed
several areas of the program, including leadership and organizational
management, the strategic planning process, client and stakeholder focus,
service delivery, and program performance. These
standards ensure that the
public investment in the
program from the federal
government, the state government, and the host institutions results in strong
returns for Pennsylvania’s
economy.
Since its inception,
has helped aspiring entrepreneurs start more than
30,000 businesses, obtain
over $2.5 billion in startup and expansion capital,
and increase sales by more
than $12 billion. SBDCassisted companies reported winning over $2.5
billion in government contracts and grew their international sales by more
than $1.4 billion, all while
creating over 140,000 jobs
that generate more than
$796 million in new tax
revenue.

Steelers hope Roethlisberger, Brown can play against Broncos
PITTSBURGH (AP) —
Maybe Ben Roethlisberger
should consider throwing with
his left hand.
The Pittsburgh Steelers
quarterback said on his radio
show Tuesday he’s dealing with
torn ligaments and a sprain in
his right shoulder, though coach
Mike Tomlin stressed the team
remains hopeful Roethlisberger
will be ready for Sunday’s playoff visit to Denver.
“Ben has a chance,” Tomlin
said. “We’ll manage him day to
day.”
Roethlisberger’s shoulder
was driven into the soggy turf
at Paul Brown Stadium by
Cincinnati linebacker Vontaze
Burfict late in the third quarter
of last Saturday’s wild-card win
over the Bengals.
The two-time Super Bowl
champion described the pain as
a “grind or a crunch or something” during his weekly appearance on 93.7 The Fan.
There were no plans to
send him back in until Cincinnati rallied to take the lead.
When Pittsburgh earned one
last chance after Ryan Shazier
stripped Bengals running back
Jeremy Hill, Roethlisberger
ambled back onto the field.
“I looked at him, he looked
at me and we knew where we
were,” Tomlin said. “Nine years
together, that’s reasonable.”
His arm throbbing and his
ability to get the ball down the
field with any sort of velocity
nonexistent, Roethlisberger —
with more than a little help
from the Bengals — managed to
lead the Steelers on a drive that
set up Chris Boswell’s winning
field goal.
It was a memorable performance, one that extended Pittsburgh’s season at least another
week. It also came at a heavy
cost.
Roethlisberger remains in
some pretty serious pain while
All-Pro wide receiver Antonio
Brown remains in the NFL’s
concussion protocol and starting running back DeAngelo
Williams remains a longshot to
return from a right foot injury.
Tomlin might want to consider replacing his “next man
up” mantra with “last man up”
considering the circumstances.
Landry Jones will get the
majority of snaps in practice
early in the week as Pittsburgh
prepares for a rematch with
the Broncos, whom the Steelers
beat 34-27 on Dec. 20 behind
the spectacular play of Brown.
Tomlin admitted the idea
of playing without the NFL’s
second-leading receiver is “unpleasant” but one he’ll have
to consider after Brown took a
shoulder to the head from Burfict with 22 seconds to go.
“We’re hopeful, we’re always hopeful,” Tomlin said.
“We’ll do what’s right when all
is said and done.”
Brown dominated a depleted
Denver secondary for 189 yards
receiving and two touchdowns in
his first meeting with the Broncos. He had 119 yards against
the Bengals, the best playoff performance of his career.
Yet his immediate future
became uncertain when Burfict
lowered his right shoulder into
Brown’s head while the receiver
attempted to make a leaping
grab on Pittsburgh’s final drive.
Burfict was flagged on the
play and suspended for the first
three games of the 2016 regular
season on Monday, though Roethlisberger didn’t characterize
the sack he took or the targeting of Brown as dirty play by the
volatile linebacker.
“I think he was just trying
to make a play,” Roethlisberger
said. “As fast as the game, as
fast as all that happened, you’ve
got to be pretty good to try and
intentionally do something like
that.”
While Pittsburgh remains
optimistic the cornerstones of
the NFL’s third-ranked offense
will be available to try and help
the Steelers to their first AFC
championship game appearance
in five years, Williams appears
likely to miss his second straight
game after injuring his right
foot in the regular season finale
against Cleveland.
Tomlin said he will “leave
the door ajar” for Williams, but
it seems Pittsburgh will go with
the tandem of Fitzgerald Toussaint and Jordan Todman on
Sunday.
The duo combined for 123
yards rushing in their postseason debuts, helping take some of
the pressure off Roethlisberger,
who wasn’t particularly crisp
in the rain even before Burfict
drove him into the turf.
Not that it mattered in the
end. Pittsburgh moved on and
while the Bengals spent the aftermath defending their own behavior and claiming the Steelers
were just as dirty, Tomlin is in
no mood to engage in any more
trash talk.
“Cincinnati is afforded the
opportunity to sit around days
after and rehash what happened,” he said. “We don’t have
that opportunity.”
NOTES: FB Will Johnson
(hamstring), LB Vince Williams
(hamstring) and S Robert Golden (shoulder) will be monitored
early in the week, but should be
ready for Sunday.
Dutch wrestlers hoping for big crowd Thursday St. Marys native shoots buck
The St. Marys Area won by the Dutchmen. 25th in the state at 126 with their parents, durDutch wrestling team is
currently undefeated in
dual matches this season,
and they look to take on
their toughest opponent
yet–the also undefeated Clearfield Bision–on
Thursday night at the
SMAHS Dutch Oven. Junior high competition gets
underway at 6 p.m. with
varsity action to follow
around 7 p.m.
Adding to the excitement, the contest will also
be a rematch of last year’s
District 9 Class AAA championship match, which was
Since the 2010-2011 season, St. Marys Area holds
a 5-2 edge in their meetings with Clearfield, and
the Dutch have won the
last four straight matches.
Fans can expect to be
treated to some exciting
action on the mat, especially since both squads
have wrestlers who are
state ranked. According
to Pa. Power Wrestling,
the Dutch boast four state
ranked wrestlers: Tyler
Dilley is ranked third in
the state at 106 pounds,
Alec Bittler is ranked
pounds, Christian Steffan
is ranked 20th in the state
at 182 pounds, and DJ Salinas is ranked 13th in the
state at 220 pounds.
Clearfield also has a
pair of wrestlers who are
state ranked: Luke McGonigal is ranked 10th in the
state at 170 pounds, and
Travis Ogden is ranked
11th in the state at 195
pounds.
The match will also be
senior night for St. Marys
Area. Senior members of
the Dutch squad who will
be acknowledged, along
ing Thursday’s match are
Cameron Winters, Ben
Harlan, Kyle Pecht, Nick
Taylor, DJ Salinas, and
Ray Kline.
Thursday’s match will
also be the lone contest of
the week for the Dutchmen after inclement winter weather forced the
cancellation of their match
in Smethport on Tuesday
night. The match has since
been rescheduled and St.
Marys Area will now travel to Smethport to take on
the Hubbers on Thursday,
Jan. 28.
NFL approves Rams to LA, Chargers option to join
HOUSTON (AP) —
NFL owners voted Tuesday
night to allow the St. Louis
Rams to move to a new stadium just outside Los Angeles, and the San Diego Chargers will have an option to
share the facility.
The Oakland Raiders,
who also wanted to move
to the area, could move to
Los Angeles if San Diego
doesn’t, Commissioner Roger Goodell said.
The moves end the
NFL’s 21-year absence from
the nation’s second-largest
media market.
The compromise— the
Chargers and Raiders wanted to share a new stadium
in Carson, California, and
the Rams wanted to move
to nearby Inglewood — was
approved 30-2 after the other options did not get the 24
votes needed for approval.
The Chargers can continue to negotiate with San
Diego for a new stadium
deal, while keeping the option of joining at the Rams
and owner Stan Kroenke at
the $1.8 billion complex he
is building.
“Relocation is a painful
process. It’s painful for the
fans, for the communities,
for the league in general,”
Goodell said. “In some ways
a bittersweet moment, because we were unable to get
the kind of facilities done we
wanted in their markets.”
The Rams —based in
the LA area from 1946-94
— will play in a temporary
facility — probably the Los
Angeles Coliseum — until
the new stadium is ready for
the 2019 season.
“Today, with the NFL
returning home, Los Angeles cements itself as the epicenter of the sports world,”
Los Angeles Mayor Eric
Garcetti said in a statement.
“We cannot wait to welcome
the Rams, and perhaps others soon, as they join a storied lineup of professional
franchises, collegiate powerhouses, and sports media
companies.”
The league will give
$100 million to the Chargers
and the Raiders if either
team builds a new stadium
in their current markets.
“I will be working over
the next several weeks to
explore the options that
we have now created for
ourselves to determine the
best path forward for the
Chargers,” chairman Dean

Qualcomm Stadium. The
Raiders played in Los Angeles from 1982-94 and currently split a facility with
baseball’s Athletics, the last
remaining NFL-MLB stadium.
No NFL franchise has
moved since the Houston
Oilers went to Tennessee
in 1997. The Raiders and
Rams both left Los Angeles
after the 1994 season.
In a report to all 32
teams days before the meetings, Goodell deemed the
venues in all three existing cities inadequate and
said the stadium proposals
lacked certainty. In the case
of San Diego, that includes a
public vote required for the
financing.
The Chargers and the
city have been at odds since
2000, when owner Alex
Spanos said his team needed to replace Qualcomm
Stadium. That was just
three years after the venue
was expanded to accommodate the Chargers and Super Bowls.
The
stadium
saga

year as Mark Fabiani, an
attorney for team Chairman Dean Spanos, criticized
Mayor Kevin Faulconer and
his proposals. The city has
claimed that the Chargers
didn’t negotiate in good faith
and had several misrepresentations in their relocation
bid.
Spanos has had the
right to leave San Diego
since 2008, but the team’s
efforts became more aggressive after Kroenke announced plans for the Inglewood move. The Chargers
have played in San Diego for
55 seasons after one year in
Los Angeles when the former
AFL franchise was born.
The St. Louis proposal
calls for an open-air, $1.1 billion stadium along the Mississippi River north of the
Gateway Arch to replace the
Edward Jones Dome.
The plan includes $150
million from the city, $250
million from Kroenke, at
least $200 million from the
league, and $160 million in
fan seat licenses. The rest
of the money comes from
the state, either through tax
credits or bonds.
Goodell says NFL policy
limits the league’s contribution to $100 million, and
Kroenke has largely ignored
the plan. The team said in
its relocation bid that the St.
Louis market lags economically and that the stadium
proposal is doomed to fail.
The Rams have a yearto-year lease in St. Louis.
Oakland is still in debt
from a renovation 20 years
ago when the Raiders moved
back from Los Angeles. City
officials have said they won’t
seek help from taxpayers
with a new stadium, and
asked the NFL for more time
to develop a project in a response to the Raiders’ relocation plan.
Los Angeles Coliseum,
the college football home of
Southern California, would
host at least one team until
a new stadium is finished,
probably in 2019 if relocation plans go forward. Finding a home for a second team
could prove more difficult,
although the coliseum is a
possibility.

Skinner scores in OT, Hurricanes beat Penguins 3-2
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Jeff
Skinner scored a power-play
goal 3:02 into overtime, and
the Carolina Hurricanes beat
the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 on
Tuesday night.
Eric Staal and Kris Versteeg each had a goal and an
assist, and linemate Elias Lindholm assisted on all three Carolina scores. Cam Ward made
23 saves for the surging Hurricanes, who won their third
straight and have earned points
in 12 of 16 games.
Kris Letang and Chris
Kunitz scored for Pittsburgh,
and Sidney Crosby had two assists. Kunitz tied it with 13:58
remaining in regulation off
Crosby’s pass from behind the
net.
Skinner scored 22 seconds
into a hooking minor on Evgeni
Malkin. Skinner took a slick
pass from Lindholm near the
net and beat Marc-Andre Fleury from close range to end it.
Fleury finished with 18
saves.
Before Skinner’s winner,
the game’s most buzzworthy
goal belonged to Versteeg.
The Carolina winger fired a
shot from behind the circle that
clipped Crosby’s stick and went
airborne. The puck landed between the 2 and the 9 on Fleury’s jersey and then trickled in
to put the Hurricanes up 2-0
with 10:29 left in the second.
That became an important
goal because Letang pulled the
Penguins within one 45 seconds later. Crosby won a draw
and Olli Maatta found Letang,
whose slap shot got past a
screened Ward.
That flurry of action came
after Staal scored Carolina’s
first goal 3:52 into the second.
Parked to the left of Fleury, he
took a pass from Versteeg and
snapped it past the sprawledout goalie for his ninth of the
season and first since a win over
Washington on New Year’s Eve.
Islanders 5,
Blue Jackets 2
NEW YORK (AP) — Brock
Nelson scored a hat trick to take
over the team lead in goals, and
the New York Islanders beat
the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-2
on Tuesday night.
Thomas Greiss made 18
saves for the Islanders, who lost
their previous two games.
Nelson snapped a 2-all tie
with his 16th of the season at
17:29 of the second period, scoring unassisted against goalie
Anton Forsberg with a snap
shot from the left side. The
24-year-old forward also scored
at the 12-minute mark of the
first and added an empty-net
goal to seal it.
Ryan Strome opened the
scoring with his fourth goal of
the season and first since Nov.
30 at 5:03 of the first.
No. 11 West Virginia trips SMA junior high wrestlers
up No. 1 Kansas 74-63
place second at Slippery Rock
MORGANTOWN,
W.Va. (AP) — Jaysean
Paige scored 26 points,
Devin Williams had 17
points and 12 rebounds,
and No. 11 West Virginia
beat top-ranked Kansas
74-63 on Tuesday night.
West Virginia (15-1,
4-0 Big 12) is off to its best
start since 1982, when it
started 24-1.
Perry Ellis scored 21
points for Kansas (14-2,
3-1). The Jayhawks committed a season-high 22
turnovers, shot 42 percent
for the game and was held
to its lowest point total of
the season.
West Virginia fans
stormed the court and
sang
John
Denver’s
“Country Roads” after the
Mountaineers’ first win
over a top-ranked team in
33 years.
With snowy conditions and traffic gridlock
outside, Kansas arrived at
the WVU Coliseum from
their nearby hotel only an
hour before the game with
the help of a police escort.
It didn’t get any easier
for the Jayhawks on the
court.
They are the fourth
No. 1 to lose this season
joining North Carolina,
Kentucky and Michigan
State.
West Virginia opened
a 39-27 halftime lead by
forcing mistakes, going
hard after offensive rebounds and doing unusually well at the free throw
line.
Ellis scored 10 of the
Jayhawks’ first 15 points
of the second half, including a dunk at the midway
point to cut the deficit to
50-44. But Kansas went
more than 4 minutes between baskets and could
get no closer.
West Virginia didn’t
need to be stellar from the
field — the Mountaineers
shot just 33 percent (19
of 57) and made just one
field goal over the final 5
minutes. But they made
up for that from the line,
where they entered the
game shooting 66 percent.
West Virginia went 12
of 16 from the line down
the stretch. Williams kept
hitting free throws and
kept grabbing missed
shots — a formula that
has turned out pretty well
so far for the Mountaineers.
Williams had his seventh double-double of the
season but the first over a
span of seven games.
He got plenty of help
Tuesday from Paige, who
made 14 of 17 free throws
for the game.
Jevon Carter finished
with 10 points for West
Virginia.
Frank Mason III added 12 points and Wayne
Selden Jr. had 11 for Kansas.
No. 7 Xavier 84,
DePaul 64
CINCINNATI (AP) —
Trevon Bluiett scored a
career-high 24 points —
19 in the first half — for
Xavier.
Xavier (15-1, 3-1 Big
East) led most of the way
as Bluiett got his shooting touch early, making
his first four shots from
beyond the arc. He tied
his career high with five
3-pointers on 11 attempts.
The Musketeers made a
season-high 12 3-pointers.
Myke Henry scored 16
points for DePaul (6-11,
0-5), which dropped its
fifth straight game.
Myles Davis had 14
points and seven assists
for the Musketeers, who
had four double-figure
scorers.
No. 13 Virginia 66,
No. 8 Miami 58
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Malcolm Brogdon had 20
points and London Perrantes scored all 13 of his
in the second half as Virginia ended a two-game
losing streak.
Anthony Gill added 15
points for the Cavaliers
(13-3, 2-2 Atlantic Coast
Conference), who used
an 11-2 run in the second
half to turn a 43-41 deficit into a 52-45 lead with
7 1-2 minutes to go and
never trailed again.
Angel Rodriguez had
17 points and Sheldon
McClellan added 13 for
Miami (13-2, 2-1), which
had a seven-game winning streak snapped.
No. 14 Kentucky 80,
Mississippi St. 74
LEXINGTON,
Ky.
(AP) — Jamal Murray
scored 22 points to lead
Kentucky.
The Wildcats (13-3,
3-1 Southeastern Conference) have won nine
straight over the Bulldogs
and 12 consecutive league
games at home.
Mississippi
State
(7-8, 0-3) rallied from a
20-point deficit in the second half and trailed 74-71
with 1:14 remaining, but
the Wildcats made six free
throws in the final 47 seconds to seal the win.
Murray made two of
his first three shots —
both 3-pointers — and
scored 11 of Kentucky’s
first 17 points. Murray
connected on three 3s and
scored 11 points in the
first half.
Tyler Ulis had 21
points, 14 in the second
half, and Isaiah Briscoe
added 14 for the Wildcats.
The Bulldogs got 20
points from Craig Sword,
followed by Malik Newman with 14 and Gavin
Ware with 11.
No. 15 Texas A&M
71, Florida 68
COLLEGE STATION,
Texas (AP) — Jalen Jones
scored 26 points and
Danuel House added 22
to help Texas A&M to its
seventh straight win.
Florida (10-6, 2-2
Southeastern Conference)
never led after halftime
but tied it twice and never
let the Aggies (14-2, 4-0)
pull away.
Dorian Finney-Smith
led the Gators with 17
points and Justin Leon
had 16.
A&M’s 4-0 record in
SEC play is its best league
start since going 4-0 to
open Big 12 play in 200607. The Aggies are 10-0
at home this season and
their seven-game winning
streak is the longest since
winning 13 straight in
2010-11.
George Washington
81, Massachusetts 70
AMHERST,
Mass.
(AP) — Tyler Cavanaugh scored 26 points and
George Washington defeated Massachusetts 8170 on Tuesday night.
Cavanaugh, who has
scored in double figures
in every game this season,
was 13 of 15 from the freethrow line where the Colonials (14-3, 3-1 Atlantic
10) made 29 of 34. Patricio
Garino added 17 points,
Kevin Larsen 13 points
and eight rebounds, and
Alex Mitola 11 points and
seven assists. Garino and
Mitola had three 3-pointers apiece as George
Washington was 8 of 19
for 42 percent from the
arc.
Donte Clark scored 19
points, Trey Davis 13, and
Antwan Space and Jabarie Hinds added 10 apiece
for the Minutemen (8-8,
1-3), who have lost three
straight. UMass shot 49
percent but was just 5 of
19 from the arc.
Garino
scored
10
straight points in a 14-7
run that gave the Colonials a 13-point lead with
7:19 left and the lead
stayed in double figures.
Wisconsin 70,
Northwestern 65
EVANSTON,
Ill.
(AP) — Bryant McIntosh
scored 28 points to lead
Northwestern to a rare
win over Wisconsin, 7065, on Tuesday night.
McIntosh scored all
but eight of his points
in the second half as the
Wildcats (15-3, 3-2 Big
Ten) beat the Badgers (99, 1-4) for just the third
time in 17 games.
Northwestern went on
run midway through the
second half to grab a seven-point lead and hung on
for its second straight win
after back-to-back losses
to Maryland and Ohio
State.
McIntosh, the lone
Wildcat to score in double
figures, did a little bit of
everything with four rebounds and five assists.
The Wildcats outrebounded Wisconsin 3425 and came away with
the win even though they
struggled on the perimeter, hitting 4 of 12 3-pointers.
That didn’t stop them
from handing the Badgers
their third straight loss.
Nigel Hayes had 17
points, six rebounds and
six assists. Ethan Happ
scored 12, but Wisconsin
again came up short after
losing by three to Maryland on a last-second
3-pointer by Melo Trimble
on Saturday.
Northwestern, which
recorded its most lopsided
Big Ten road win since
1944 at Minnesota on
Saturday, went on a 12-3
run midway through the
second half to wipe out a
47-45 deficit.
The Wildcats scored
seven straight, Joey van
Zegeren’s alley-oop dunk
off a feed from McIntosh
igniting the crowd.
McIntosh then scored
on a layup and answered
a 3 by Bronson Koenig
with one of his own. Two
free throws by Aaron Falzon finished the run, making it 57-50 with 4:45 remaining.

Spurs beat Pistons 109-99
for ninth straight win
AUBURN
HILLS.
Mich. (AP) — Tony Parker
scored 31 points, LaMarcus Aldridge added 22
points and 13 rebounds,
and the San Antonio
Spurs beat the Detroit
Pistons 109-99 on Tuesday night for their ninth
straight victory.
Detroit had its threegame winning streak
snapped.
Manu Ginobili added 15 points while Tim
Duncan had 14 points
and nine rebounds for
the Spurs, who return to
San Antonio trying to extend their 31-game home
winning streak Thursday
against Cleveland.
Kentavious CaldwellPope led the Pistons with
25 points, while Andre
Drummond added 17
points and 10 rebounds.
The Pistons led 25-24
after the first quarter, but
their reserves had trouble
dealing with Ginobili and
Boris Diaw, who combined
for 19 first-half points.
The Spurs also gave the
Pistons a ton of trouble in
the paint, sending Drummond to the bench with
three fouls in nine minutes.
San Antonio’s defense
dominated in the halfcourt setting, but the
Pistons kept themselves
within 53-44 by scoring 14
points off turnovers while
the Spurs only managed
two.
Parker took over in
the third quarter, scoring
14 points in the first five
minutes to help San Antonio expand the margin
to 71-54. Pistons coach
Stan Van Gundy switched
defensive
specialist
Caldwell-Pope onto Parker, but that barely slowed
him down.
The Spurs took an 8166 lead into the fourth,
but Drummond brought
the crowd to its feet with
a spectacular one-handed
dunk off a Brandon Jennings lob. Jennings added
a three-point play as the
Pistons were within 83-73
after two minutes of the
quarter.
Detroit,
though,
stalled there, as Aldridge
and Ginobili hit enough
shots to prevent an extended run.
Knicks 120,
Celtics 114
NEW YORK (AP) —
Kristaps Porzingis scored
26 points, Arron Afflalo
had 20 of his 24 in the
second half, and the New
York Knicks beat the Boston Celtics 120-114 on
Tuesday night.
Jerian Grant scored
10 of his 16 points in the
fourth quarter and added
eight assists in the best
game of his rookie season as the Knicks held off
the Celtics despite losing
leading scorer Carmelo
Anthony to a sprained
right ankle seconds into
the third quarter.
Isaiah Thomas had 34
points for the Celtics, who
lost their fourth straight
and fell to 19-19. Jae
Crowder had 21.
Bucks 106, Bulls 101
MILWAUKEE (AP) —
Giannis Antetokounmpo
had 29 points and 10 rebounds, and the Milwaukee Bucks used a late rally to slip past the Chicago
Bulls, 106-101 on Tuesday
night.
Greg Monroe added
17 points and 12 rebounds
for Milwaukee.
Jimmy Butler scored
30 points and Nikola
Mirotic and Tony Snell
added 17 apiece for Chicago, which used a 25-9 run
late in the third quarter
and early into the fourth
to seemingly gain control
of the game.
The Bulls, who have
lost three straight, have
scored 100 or more points
for 12 consecutive games.
But Chicago has allowed
at least 100 points in eight
of those games.

CBS to unveil new technology
for Super Bowl 50 broadcast
Salary
Arbitration List
PASADENA,
Calif.
(AP) — The Super Bowl is
turning 50, although the
game played next month
on America’s informal national holiday will hardly
be showing its age because of new gadgetry CBS
Sports is debuting.
A replay system will
give viewers a 360-degree
perspective and higher
resolution than previously ever seen for the
game. Thirty-six cameras
strung around the upper
deck of Levi’s Stadium in
Santa Clara, California,
can freeze the moment and
revolve around the play
before continuing to show
the scene. Viewers on Feb.
7 will be able to check out
the quarterback’s view
from the pocket to other
players’ perspectives on
the field, and it can be animated, too.
“We tried it on a couple
regular-season games and
it looks remarkable,” CBS
Sports Chairman Sean McManus said Tuesday at a
gathering of TV critics.
For the first time in
a Super Bowl, CBS will
use eight custom-molded pylons that house 16
cameras to film the goal
lines and sidelines of both
teams. The cameras also
will have microphones embedded in them to enhance
the game’s natural sound.
They were used in the College Football Playoff championship Monday.
The new technology
could even influence the
game. The officials are
able to use any replays a
network shows when they
review a play.
During the game, the
network will use the NFL’s
Next Gen stats that track
how fast and far players
run over the course of the
day and matchup-based
statistics between players.
CBS Sports is changing its logo for the first
time in 35 years and up-

dating its on-air graphics to debut during Super
Bowl week.
Gayle King of “CBS
This Morning” will conduct
a live interview with President Barack Obama and
his wife Michelle as part of
the coverage.
McManus said planning for the event’s landmark anniversary began
five days after last year’s
game ended. CBS will be
airing its 19th Super Bowl,
the most of any network.
“We’re pumped up
about it,” he said. “We
can’t wait for Super Bowl
Sunday.”
During game week at
8 p.m. nightly, CBS will air
one-minute updates from
either San Francisco or
Santa Clara.
On game day, the network will air seven hours
of programming using four
sets: one on Market Street
in downtown San Francisco and three from the stadium in Santa Clara (one
outside near the tailgating area, one on the field
and the main hosts on a
concourse overlooking the
field).
“We know the appetite
is insatiable when it comes
to football,” pregame host
James Brown said.
The game has grown
dramatically since the first
one Jan. 15, 1967, from
the Los Angeles Memorial
Coliseum.
Back then, there was
a scant 30 minutes of pregame programming, one
marching band at halftime,
11 cameras, two production
trucks and “Lassie” aired
directly afterward. Besides
this year’s massive pregame hype, British band
Coldplay and Beyonce will
perform at halftime, there
will be 70 game cameras,
12 production trucks and
the coveted post-game slot
goes to “The Late Show
with Stephen Colbert.”
Jack Whitaker was
part of the announcing
team for the first game,
calling it “this first meeting
ever between the American Football League and
National Football League.”
The term Super Bowl had
yet to be popularized.
“It’s not like it is today,
but we thought it would be
a very important game,”
said Whitaker, who at 91
is the only surviving member of the original fourman broadcast team that
included Ray Scott, Frank
Gifford and Pat Summerall.
CBS and NBC both
carried the game, with
Scott calling the first half
and Whitaker handling
the second. Whitaker recalled that NBC got caught
in commercial when the
second half began, so the
teams re-did the kickoff.
The
atmosphere
around the big game has
grown accordingly, too.
Phil Simms, who will
call this year’s game with
Jim Nantz, remembered
his first Super Bowl as a
quarterback at the Rose
Bowl in 1987.
“One of my linemen
was crying and another
was throwing up. That
doesn’t happen anymore,”
he said. “Today’s players
are so used to being on
the stage, they can’t wait
to get on the stage. That’s
why we see such exciting
plays and such great moments.”
Meanwhile, the NFL
is reviewing network bids
for the rights to Thursday
night games after the first
two years aired on CBS.
McManus said the league
sought proposals for either
an exclusive package or
splitting the eight weeks of
games between networks.
“I think we have the
advantage because the
template is in place for
CBS,” he said. “I wouldn’t
call us the front runner.”
Pats Chandler Jones admitted, released at hospital
FOXBOROUGH, Mass.
(AP) — New England Patriots defensive lineman
Chandler Jones was admitted to a hospital on Sunday
and released the same day,
the team said in a statement that did not elaborate
on the nature of the medical issue.
The Boston Herald first
reported that Jones was
rushed to Norwood Hospital after showing up at the
Foxborough police station
with a medical emergency.
“Chandler Jones was
admitted to the hospital on
Sunday and released that
day,” the Patriots spokesman said. “He reported
to work on time Monday
morning and has participated in all meetings and
practices since then.”
A man who answered
the phone at the Foxborough Police Department
told The Associated Press
there was no police report
available because it was
privileged medical information. No one was available to speak about the
incident on Tuesday night,
said the man.
The Herald said Foxborough Police Chief Edward T. O’Leary denied
dealing with Jones over the
weekend. But according to
the paper, dispatch records
“showed at least five officers on the scene while
Jones was being evaluated
in a back parking lot of the
station.”

Obama warns against giving
into election year cynicism
Amateur
By Julie Pace
AP White House Correspondent
Photo from the St. Marys Historical Society collection
This photograph, which was taken by Walter Schaut, shows the demolition of the old South St. Marys
St. bridge over the Elk Creek in January 1957. The old Hall mansion, at the time the Catholic Men’s
Fraternal Club, is visible in the center of the photo.
side of the image which
declared, “All prices hammered, axed, smashed,
and beaten!”
“I was only two years
old, so I didn’t get into the
sale to see how hammered
they were,” Beimel said.
“I hope they were anyway,
but they certainly made it
sound good.”
He also called the
store’s closing the end of
an era in St. Marys.
“This was the end of
an era. For over 50 years
that had been the big department store in town,
first Hall, Kaul, & Hyde,
and then Smith Brothers,” Beimel said.
Schaut was also busy
taking photographs in the
1950s, and Beimel displayed an image he took in
1957 showing the demolition of the old South St.
Marys Street bridge over
the Elk Creek. Beimel
noted that Schaut worked
at Pistner’s gas station
on the corner of Mill and
South St. Marys streets,
which allowed him to
have a prime place to take
pictures during the construction of the Boulevard
in 1957.
“(In the photo,) the
old stone bridge that had
carried the traffic over the
Elk Creek is going to be
demolished and they’re
going to use a clever tool,
a wrecking ball,” Beimel
said. “I was told that the
stones were salvaged, but
I have no idea what happened to them.”

pending demolition of
the bridge is not the only
noteworthy element of the
photo, Beimel noted.
“Adding to the interest of this is that the
photo shows what was arguably the most beautiful
dwelling in town, the Hall
mansion that became the
CMF Club,” Beimel said.
“Of course then they had
to go and spoil it by putting the bowling alleys
right there.”
The Hall mansion
burned down in the early
1960s.
“That was lost to
fire, but this picture is of
double interest because it
shows the old stone bridge
and that beautiful home
that is no longer with us,”
Beimel said.

WASHINGTON (AP)
— Eyeing the end of
his presidency, Barack
Obama urged Americans
Tuesday night to rekindle their belief in the
promise of change that
first carried him to the
White House, declaring
that the country must
not allow election-year
fear and division to take
hold.
“The future we want,”
he insisted, “is within
our reach.” But opportunity and security for
American families “will
only happen if we work
together ... if we fix our
politics,” he added.
The nation’s goals
must include “a rising
standard of living and
a sustainable, peaceful
planet for our kids,” he
said in his final State of
the Union address.
At the heart of
Obama’s address to lawmakers and a prime-time
television audience was
an implicit call to keep
Democrats in the White
House for a third straight
term. Sharply, and at
times sarcastically, he
struck back at rivals who
have challenged his economic and national security stewardship, calling
it all “political hot air.”
In a swipe at some
Republican presidential
LEGAL NOTICE
candidates, he warned
against “voices urging us
to fall back into tribes, to
scapegoat fellow citizens
who don’t look like us or
pray like us or vote like
we do or share the same
background.”
His words were unexpectedly echoed by South
Carolina
Gov.
Nikki
Haley, who was selected
to give the Republican
response to Obama’s address. Underscoring how
the heated campaign
rhetoric about immigrants and minorities
from GOP front-runner
Donald Trump in particular has unnerved some
Republican leaders, Haley called on Americans
to resist the temptation
“to follow the siren call of
the angriest voices.”
“No one who is willing to work hard, abide
by our laws and love our
traditions should ever
feel unwelcome,” Haley
said in excerpts released
ahead of her remarks.
Seeking to shape his
own legacy, Obama ticked
through a retrospective
of his domestic and foreign policy actions in office, including helping
lead the economy back
from the brink of depression, taking aggressive
action on climate change
and ending a Cold War
freeze with Cuba.
He vowed a robust
campaign to “take out”

the Islamic State group,
but chastised Republicans for “over the top
claims” about the extremist group’s power.
“Masses of fighters
on the back of pickup
trucks and twisted souls
plotting in apartments
or garages pose an enormous danger and must
be stopped,” he said. “But
they do not threaten our
national security.”
The president’s words
were unlikely to satisfy
Republicans, as well as
some Democrats, who
say he underestimates
the Islamic State’s power
and is leaving the U.S.
vulnerable to attacks at
home.
Obama was frank
about one of his biggest
regrets: failing to ease
the persistently deep divisions between Democrats and Republicans.
“The rancor and suspicion between the parties has gotten worse
instead of better,” he conceded. “There’s no doubt
a president with the
gifts of Lincoln or Roosevelt might have better
bridged the divide, and
I guarantee I’ll keep trying to be better so long as
I hold this office.”
Mindful of the scant
prospect for major legislative action in an election year, Obama avoid-

ANNIE’S MAILBOX®
COPYRIGHT 2001 CREATORS SINDICATE, INC.
Dear Annie: Several years
ago my brother-in-law died. He had
been married to my older sister for
50 years. They had no children. She
did not want to live alone, nor did she
want to live with a roommate. In order
to solve the situation, I sold my home
and bought a duplex where she could
live in one unit and I would live in the
other. This arrangement has worked
out very well for both of us.
Here’s the issue: My siblings
never visit with me, even though they
often come to see my sister. I always
learn of their visits after the fact, when
my sister tells me about them in conversation. At first I was puzzled by
their lack of consideration to take a
few moments to say hello to me, at
least periodically. But then I realized
they had made a choice as to who
they would visit and who they would
not.
If I happen to be at my sister’s
place when one of my siblings stops
by, I am always very cordial. I spend a
social amount of time in conversation
with them and enjoy their company.
I do not overstay my visit in order to
allow them time to visit with one another.
They have never communicated
with me much, and I have accepted
this as the norm. I have reached out
in the past to call them and sometimes go to their homes to visit so that
I am not accused of failing to remain
in contact. But it doesn’t seem to be
reciprocal.
I harbor no ill will toward them
and realize that I have no control over
their behavior. I’m simply confused
as to why this situation developed. I
continue with my life and my friends,
Ridgway Record TheDailyPress
The
the
Kane Republican
hoping someday I will understand. -Bewildered Sibling
Dear Bewildered: You could ask
them why, when they are so close to
your home, they do not stop by to say
hello or phone ahead to have you join
them at your sister’s. You could also
ask your sister why she doesn’t suggest they visit you when they are at
her place. You and your siblings seem
to have a rather detached relationship
and there could be any number of reasons for it, but you won’t know unless
you ask them directly whether there is
any way to close the distance.
Dear Annie: Can you please
explain the difference between unconditional love and enabling? I see
so much enabling in the name of love.
-- Frustrated
Dear Frustrated: Unconditional
love means you love someone regardless of their behavior, while not
necessarily condoning what they say
or do. (For example, your daughter
steals from you. You are angry about
it and no longer trust her, but you still
love her.) Enabling is acting in a way
that allows the loved one to continue
behavior that is damaging either to
himself or to others. (You make excuses for your alcoholic husband
when he’s too hung over to show up
for work.)
A lot of folks can’t tell the difference. And it is often easier to be an
enabler than to hold someone responsible for their behavior. But “easier” is
the wrong choice.

Tricounty Rails to Trails annual public meeting
Tricounty Rails to
Trails will conduct its annual meeting on Monday,
Jan. 19, beginning at 7
p.m. at the Chatterbox
Community Center located 2.5 miles south of
Brockway on Route 219.
Directors and officers will
be elected, including new
directors that express interest and commitment.
“Adopt-A-Mile”
volunteers and 2015 donors will
also be recognized. Come
in out of the cold and enjoy some down-home hospitality and refreshments,
compliments of the Chatterbox.
President Paul Boboige will present a program on the interesting
new Five Bridges Trail
that the group has been
steadily working on the
last few years. In 2008
Tricounty Rails to Trails
acquired the right-of-way
for the Five Bridges Trail,
which uses a portion of
the former Shawmut and
Pittsburgh Railroad corridor which ran from Brockway to Brookville.
This trail takes its
name from the five recently renovated timber bridges that span Mill Creek.
The trail begins about one
mile outside of Brockway
and runs for eight miles
to Allens Mills. Beavers
have made dams along
Mill Creek and today it
is a scenic wetland area
with many species of birds
ranging from grouse to
great blue herons inhabiting the area.
The rest of the corridor, currently privately
owned, ends in Brookville,
where it is then possible
to connect to the new Redbank Valley Trails and
ultimately lead to Erie,
Pittsburgh and Washington D.C. via other regional
trail networks in western
and southern Pennsylvania. It is the trail group’s
hope to be a part of the
team that will eventually
make that connection a
reality.
For more trail information and contacts, visit
the trail group’s web site
at www.tricountyrailstotrails.org, or visit them on
Facebook.
Philadelphia newspapers, website
handed off to new nonprofit
By Maryclaire Dale
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA
(AP) — The owner of
Philadelphia’s two largest newspapers and their
joint website, philly.com,
has handed them off to a
nonprofit created to help
them survive the digital
age with help from foundation grants, university
partnerships and other
boosters.
Local philanthropist
H.F. “Gerry” Lenfest,
who bought the media
company 19 months ago,
will give the struggling
properties to the new Institute for Journalism in
New Media and donate
$20 million to endow the
enterprise.
Lenfest pledged the
newsroom would continue
to produce “independent
public service journalism and investigative
reporting that positively
impacts the community,
while also creating innovative multimedia content.”
The broadsheet Inquirer has won 20 Pulitzer Prizes for excellence in
journalism, and the tab-
loid Daily News has garnered an additional three.
Recent awards include the
Inquirer’s 2014 prize for
criticism and 2012 Public Service award and the
Daily News’ 2010 prize for
investigative journalism.
Readers will not see
any immediate changes, and the company’s
contracts with its labor
unions will remain in
force, Lenfest said.
Lenfest, 85, sold a
cable empire he had built
to the Comcast Corp. in
2000, leaving him a $1.2
billion fortune.

HARRISBURG
(AP)
— Pennsylvania’s attorney
general got help Tuesday
from former Gov. Ed Rendell, a fellow Democrat, in
her campaign to prevent the
state Senate from voting to
remove her from office.
Rendell testified to the
Special Committee on Senate Address that his experience over eight years as
Philadelphia’s elected district attorney made him
think Kathleen Kane does
not need an active law license to perform most of her
duties.
The “vast, vast majority”
of his job as head of a busy
prosecutor’s office consisted
of administrative tasks, police decisions, public rela-

ed the traditional litany
of policy proposals. He
did reiterate his call for
working with Republicans on criminal justice
reform and finalizing an
Asia-Pacific trade pact,
and he also vowed to
keep pushing for action
on politically fraught is-
for Powerball players and
also the older Pennsylvanians who benefit from
Lottery proceeds. Last
year, the Pennsylvania
Lottery generated over $1
billion to support benefit
programs for older adults.
If Wednesday’s jackpot is won by a Pennsylvania player, it would
become the state’s 20th
multi-state jackpot win.
The Pennsylvania Lottery has sold 17 jackpotwinning Powerball tickets
and two jackpot-winning
Mega Millions tickets.
The largest Powerball prize Pennsylvania
has ever awarded was a
$110.2 million cash-value
jackpot claimed by a New
Jersey couple in May,
2004. The state’s largest
Powerball group win was
a $107.5 million cash jackpot shared by 48 transit
workers in the Philadelphia area in April, 2012.

tions and outreach, he said.
“In none of these functions did I act as a lawyer,”
Rendell said. “I acted as an
elected official.”
The committee has 15
days to draft a report, after
which the Senate will decide
whether to use an obscure
section of the state constitution to unseat Kane over
claims she is not able to do
the job with a suspended license.
The Supreme Court put
her license on temporary,
indefinite suspension after
Kane was charged in August
with leaking secret grand
jury information and lying
about it under oath. That
case is pending.
Kane did not appear at
the four-hour hearing in the
Capitol complex but released
a lengthy letter to the committee saying direct removal
by the Senate would deprive
her and all Pennsylvanians
of constitutional protections.
Questioning by the panel’s four Republicans was
pointed and at times hostile,
while the two Democrats —
a third was a snow-related
no-show — were clearly
more sympathetic to Kane.
If the Republican majority
does take the matter to the
floor, they will need some
Democratic votes to reach
the supermajority required.
The only other witness
besides Rendell was Kane’s
chief of staff, Jonathan
Duecker, who said most of
what the attorney general’s
office does on a typical day
does not involve the practice
of law.
sues such as curbing gun
violence and fixing the
nation’s fractured immigration laws.
Yet Obama was eager to look beyond his
own presidency, casting
the actions he’s taken
as a springboard for future economic progress
and national security.
His optimism was meant
to draw a contrast with
what the White House
sees as doom-and-gloom
scenarios peddled by the
GOP.
“The United States
of America is the most
powerful nation on earth.

not even close.”
