those in St. Marys, Kersey, Fox
Township and Bennetts Valley.
Kris Kronenwetter, executive
director, emphasized 90 percent
of all donations are contributed
to local non-profits.
"Without their services our
town would be lacking in vital
services and programs," Kronenwetter said.
In an effort to spur awareness to their fundraising efforts,
Kronenwetter created the Heroes

students submitted drawings of
their local heroes.
Kronenwetter received over
100 drawings depicting parents,

drawings of their local heroes. Bella explained that her grandma Patty, pictured left,
is her hero "because she started the whole family we have now. She also fought
through cancer and is now OK." Reece said his Uncle Charlie, pictured right, is his
hero after serving during World War I and II. He added "Charlie saved our country."

5 ways to prepare your outdoor living space for fall
(BPT) - While everyone eagerly waits for
spring each year and
wishes summer could last
a month or two longer,
when it comes down to it,
fall just might be America’s favorite season. It’s
warm but not hot, the air
has that clean crispness
that’s hard to describe
and perhaps the biggest
draw, pumpkin-flavored
everything. And let’s not
forget about all those
bright, beautiful leaf colors that come with the
change in weather. So
why start shutting down
your outdoor living space
with the first sign of fall?
Packing it in early
is something dynamic
design duo, Colin and
Justin, would never con-
sider. The home improvement stars of “Cabin
Pressure” and “Game of
Homes” make the most
of their beautiful Western Red Cedar deck all
year around.
“Oh my gosh every
single day, we’re on the
deck - whether it’s summer, spring, fall, winter
or whatever,” says Justin. “A deck isn’t just for
three months of the year;
a deck is what you want
it to be. And if you love
the great outdoors as
much as we do, you can
make it work.”
Here, then, are Colin and Justin’s top five
design solutions to help
extend your outdoor living well into the autumn
months:

Start with the right
deck
Just because you
procrastinated, doesn’t
mean you need to wait
until next spring to
build or start designing
a show-stopping deck.
Whatever your plans,
though, one thing almost
everyone agrees upon
is that there’s nothing
quite like the rich, textural warmth of a Western Red Cedar deck to
create a beautiful allseason outdoor living
space. Low maintenance,
surprisingly affordable
and easy to work with,
Real Cedar can’t be beat.
“We recommend getting your big ticket items
first, around which you
can seasonally adjust
and tailor your look with
different smaller and
more affordable purchases,” says Colin. “And
with decks, it’s worth investing in a really good
product to start with
like Western Red Cedar,
which will last and last
and last. Honestly, it
just gets better with age,
improving as the years
pass, and it really is a
showstopper.”
Screen it in
Unless you’ve got a
screened-in porch, you
may still have to shield
your outdoor living space
from
the
occasional
nippy breeze. For Colin
and Justin, this is easily
rectified with movable
wicker screens that they
store inside during the
summer months.
“They’ve got a lovely
weighty bottom to them,”
says Justin. “The wind
passes right through
them and that’s a good
tip for anyone using freestanding screens on the
outside. If they’re too
solid, the wind can catch
them. But if they’re fretwork or open panels
or cutout work, they’re
good.”
Heat things up
Paradoxically, as the
days grow shorter, you’ll
wish they would last
longer. There’s no more
perfect way to cap off a
perfect fall day than by
sitting around a fire with
friends and family.
“In the autumn, we
have two propane operated fire bowls that sit
smack dab in the center
of our Western Red Cedar deck,” says Colin.
Their gas-powered fire
is safely contained in a
stone bowl and leaves no
ashes or embers. “And
those fire bowls help us
stretch out our summer
a little bit. We also have
two big patio heaters,
which we can direct inward at either end of our
terrace and they really
makes a big difference.”
Bundle up with textiles
Sometimes all it
takes to warm up your
outdoor living space is
some simple, yet chic,
soft furnishings and yes,
maybe even a change
in wardrobe. (But don’t
worry - you don’t have to
say good-bye to your beloved flips flops, just “until we meet again next
spring.”)
“We take out lots of
really lovely textural
throw pillows and rich
woolen blankets - think
Pendleton and Hudson’s
Bay striped blankets and we cozy up,” says
Justin, adding, “And
don’t forget your winter woollies. When the
weather is changing,
sometimes it’s less about
what you add and more
about what you put on in
terms of clothing.”
Install a BBQ cover
If you’re like Colin
& Justin, you enjoy the
thrill of the grill year
round. This is where
an easy-to-build, Real
Cedar BBQ Cover really earns its keep. Made
from nature’s most resilient building material,
this sturdy and beauti-

Washington Monthly recognizes Pitt-Bradford for value
rolled many low-income
students and helped them
graduate did well in our
rankings,”
Washington
Monthly editor Kevin
Carey wrote in introducing the ranking results.
Carey explained that
Washington
Monthly
rankings differed from
many others because instead of emphasizing “input” data like freshman
SAT scores, it took into
account outcomes such
as whether students got
good jobs after graduation.
A breakdown of the
data taken into consideration showed that PittBradford ranked particularly well in community
service (11th), the percentage of students entering the Peace Corps
(28th), and the percent-
age of students who earn
bachelor’s degrees going
on to earn doctoral degrees (31st).
Pitt-Bradford
was

among 388 northeastern
schools for being “Best

Data examined for
that ranking showed that
Pitt-Bradford graduates’
median pay 10 years after graduation was nearly $7,000 per year more
than students from other
peer colleges.

Last year, the St.
Marys Area United Way
added three new venture
grants which they distributed in February to nonprofit organizations normally not funded by the
group. Each grant was for
$1,000 for a project benefiting the St. Marys area
that was to be completed
by June.
Those receiving the
venture grants were the
Headwaters Charitable
Trust for a community
garden, the Elk County
Catholic School System
who partnered with the
Community Nurses, Inc.
to purchase supplies for
senior citizens services by
the nurses, and the Elk
County Humane Society
to present educational
programs in the school
district.
They United Way
is offering the venture
grants again this year.
Applications will be available in December and due
in January.
Among the organizations funded by the St.
Marys Area United Way
are the following: Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services, the Boys and Girls
Club of St. Marys, Citizens Against Physical,
Sexual and Emotional
Abuse (CAPSEA), Catholic Charities, Dickinson
Center, Inc., Girl Scouts
of Western Pennsylvania,
Guardian Angel Center,
Oak Manor, St. Marys
Servicemen's Burial Detail, St. Marys Public Library, St. Marys Community Pool, St. Marys Youth
Council and Veterans Memorial.
The non-profits receive their funding on a
quarterly basis with their
first installment distributed in September.
The non-profit organizations must submit an
application to the United
Way each year for their
review. A five-member
committee determines the
amount of funding each
organization is allotted.
Leading the organization's board of directors
are officers Lynn Schatz,
president, Rachel Schreiber, vice president,
Margie Schlimm, secretary, and Renee Bauer,
recording secretary and

“We gathered the best
available data and ranked
colleges not on what they
did for themselves, but
on what they did for their
country,” Carey wrote.
In a separate and additional recognition, PittBradford was named for
the second time as a College of Distinction by the
Colleges of Distinction
website and e-guidebook.
In order to be chosen, colleges must demonstrate
results across four distinctions – engaged students, great teaching,
vibrant community and
successful outcomes. High
school counselors and educators nominate schools,
and each is evaluated on
key indicators, including
student engagement, student empowerment and
curricular innovation.
The annual process
to select the nation’s Colleges of Distinction also
includes a review of each
institution’s
freshman
experience, as well as its
general education program, strategic plan, and
alumni success and satisfaction measures.

in the Northeast for the
13th year in a row. To see

Don’t Elect Tax and
Spend Politicians
What is the new frame
for Republican Senate
candidates?
In Arizona, John McCain claims that once
Clinton is elected only he
and the Rs can stop her
from reckless spending.
This is the general Big Lie
used by Republicans over
the years and this should
be the election when it
evaporates into its plainly
empty vapor.
In the harsh light of the
actual budget day, Republicans are the champions
of a war profiteering
budget that routinely outspends everybody everywhere. They fund massive
weapons programs to
bomb across the Middle
East and North Africa
while potholes pock our
roads and bridges collapse
into rivers and teachers
use their own money to
buy pencils in poor schools
in the United States of
America.
This is not to say that
Democrats are much better. They have shown little
spine when it comes to
resisting hawkish collusion between lucrative
war contractors and our
elected representatives.
Indeed, Obama has
been in eight years and
has failed to stop Republican-demanded military
spending which is by some
measures just as outrageous as the spendthrift
Bush-Cheney warmaking disaster. The single
biggest difference is that
the President no longer
came to Congress every
few months for another
massive “supplement” of
hundreds of billions.
The pattern: Republicans shrilly denounce
Democrats for being weak
on defense. They claim
their military adventures
will be inexpensive. Democrats cave and vote along
with the Republicans. The
costs skyrocket. Many
even higher costs are hidden in other budgets. Debt
and deficits climb; domestic spending declines.
The bottom line is that
Republican frugality is
just a line. It is demonstrably false by voting
records over the decades,
certainly including the
Republican Senate incumbents who will parrot
McCain’s lie about serving
as a check on a Clinton
big spending president.
The big spenders, year
after year, have been the
Republican elected officials who propose and
vote for massive Pentagon
budgets that shovel profits
to their corporate friends.
If voters were going to really seek some prudential
fiscal hawks they would
probably be forced to look
to the Bernie Sanders,
Barbara Lee, Russ Feingold, Jeff Merkley or Earl
Blumenauer types. But
that would require paying
attention to actual voting, real budgets, not just
rhetoric.
If we want more war,
more unemployment, a
new recession, and bursting bubbles that drive
financial instability, vote
for those Republican incumbents, many of whom
gave us the radically
wrong invasion of Iraq and
the daily hemorrhage of
Pentagon contracts that
produce record deficits and
starve domestic budgets.
The choice is ours, state
to state, across our nation.

Guest Commentary
Whose Finger? On What Button?
Through a combination
of denial, lack of empathy,
fear-mongering, security
jargon and political dysfunction, the question of
what to do about nuclear
weapons, which threaten
all life on Earth, is one few
Americans wrestle with
very often. Nor do most
voters consider it a top
priority in their decisions
at the ballot box.
In this election, however,
Donald Trump’s lack of
government experience,
disdain for concrete policy
positions and flippant
manner have many questioning whether he can be
trusted with this finger on
the nuclear button. Trump
himself has fed these
concerns, as reportedly he
asked, three times, during
a private high-level briefing on nuclear weapons
policy why a president
can’t use nukes.
I don’t want Mr. Trump’s
finger on the nuclear trigger. Nor do I want Hillary
Clinton, Gary Johnson,
Jill Stein or anyone else
(including the leaders of
the eight other nuclear
weapons states) to have
the power to unilaterally
decide the fate of life on
our planet by “pushing the
nuclear button” (there’s
no button or trigger, it’s
a clumsy metaphor but
works well enough to be
widely understood).
Put aside momentarily
the specter of rendering the
planet a smoldering, radioactive sarcophagus where
any few remaining humans
would envy the dead, or the
vanquishing of most other
plant and animal species
that had no say in their destruction. Even a “limited”
nuclear war, employing the
relatively small arsenals of
India and Pakistan in a regional conflagration, could
cause global famine on top
of the deaths of hundreds
of millions of innocent
people.
How is it acceptable or
legitimate for anyone to
have the power to decide
whether our civilization
continues, or whether
other species survive? We
shouldn’t trust anyone
with this power. Human
beings are far too fallible.
Unfortunately we have
ceded too much power
to alleged experts. The
mumbo jumbo jargon of
the Dr. Strangeloves in the
Pentagon, National Nuclear Security Agency, nuclear
laboratories and weapons
contractors – “deterrence,”
“stability,” “security” and
the like, obfuscates reality and intentionally
disempowers the populace,
though they work for us.
Our taxes pay their salaries.
Take “deterrence,” a
very serious sounding
and widely accepted term.
What it really means is
“basing your country’s
security on the threat to incinerate tens or hundreds
of millions of women, children and men who live in
another country and who
never did anything to us.”
Does that sound like a good
way to provide for a country’s “security?” Especially
when other countries have
a similar “monkey see,
monkey do” (with apologies
to monkeys, who aren’t so
foolish) posture, and thus
base their “security” on the
threat of incinerating the
United States?
There have been far too
many close calls, detailed
most recently by author
Eric Schlosser in a forthcoming documentary Command and Control and his
2013 book of the same title,
where mistaken readings
of tense political situations
or technological glitches
nearly led to catastrophe.
Perhaps the scariest
event occurred 33 years ago
this month. On September
26, 1983, Stanislov Petrov,
a lieutenant colonel in the
Soviet Union’s Air Defense
Forces correctly (and under
what must have been
immense pressure) determined a report that five
U.S. nuclear missiles were
heading toward the Soviet
Union was a false alarm,
thus staving off a Soviet
“launch on warning” attack
on the U.S. Appropriately,
a 2014 film about Petrov is
called The Man Who Saved
the World.
While Petrov deserves
credit for sparing humanity, we should take
no comfort that this and
other incidents that could
have led to calamity were
averted, often by luck more
than anything else, especially since the U.S. and
Russia still have thousands
of warheads on hair-trigger
alert. Compounding the
problem, the U.S. plans to
spend about one trillion
dollars over the next 30
years on overhauling our
entire nuclear weapons
complex. Predictably, every
other nuclear state has
followed suit in announcing
similar plans.
Harvard University Professor Elaine Scarry, in her
2014 book Thermonuclear
Monarchy, poses a simple
challenge, namely that
vesting one person (in the
United States, the president) with decision-making
authority to launch a
nuclear attack that would
likely end life as we know
it completely subverts our
nominal democracy.
The obvious solution –
let’s be democratic about
this. Take the nuclear
trigger away from everyone. Eliminate nuclear
weapons worldwide, as the
vast majority of the world’s
people favor (76 percent
worldwide, 77 percent in
the U.S., according to a
2008 WorldPublicOpinion.
org poll conducted in 21
countries). Perhaps Trump,
with his unorthodox campaign, has provided an unwitting service, a wake-up
call to end the illegitimate,
unearned trust we give our
presidents, prime ministers and potentates with
respect to nuclear weapons.

Today in History
Today is Friday, Sept.
16, the 260th day of 2016.
There are 106 days left in
the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Sept. 16, 1966, the
Metropolitan Opera officially opened its new opera
house at New York's Lincoln
Center for the Performing
Arts with the world premiere of Samuel Barber's
"Antony and Cleopatra."
On this date:
In 1498, Tomas de
Torquemada,
notorious
for his role in the Spanish
Inquisition, died in Avila,
Spain.
In 1810, Mexicans were
inspired to begin their successful revolt against Spanish rule by Father Miguel
Hidalgo y Costilla and his
"Grito de Dolores (Cry of
Dolores)."
In 1893, more than
100,000 settlers swarmed
onto a section of land in
Oklahoma known as the
"Cherokee Strip."
In 1908, General Motors
was founded in Flint, Michigan, by William C. Durant.
In 1919, the American
Legion received a national
charter from Congress.
In 1925, the Irving Berlin song "Always" (written
for his future wife, Ellin
Mackay) was published.
In 1953, "The Robe," the
first movie presented in the
widescreen process CinemaScope, had its world
premiere at the Roxy Theater in New York.
In 1976, the Episcopal
Church, at its General Convention in Minneapolis,
formally approved the ordination of women as priests
and bishops.
In 1982, the massacre of
between 1,200 and 1,400
Palestinian men, women
and children at the hands
of Israeli-allied Christian
Phalange militiamen began
in west Beirut's Sabra and
Shatila refugee camps.
In 2007, O.J. Simpson
was arrested in the alleged
armed robbery of sports
memorabilia collectors in
Las Vegas. (Simpson was
later convicted of kidnapping and armed robbery
and sentenced to nine to 33
years in prison.)
Ten years ago: The Vatican said Pope Benedict
XVI "sincerely" regretted
offending Muslims with
his reference to an obscure
medieval text characterizing some of the teachings
of Islam's founder as "evil
and inhuman," but the
statement stopped short
of the apology demanded
by Islamic leaders. Mexico
extradited accused drug
kingpin Francisco Rafael
Arellano Felix (ah-rayYAH'-noh fay-LEEKS') to
the U.S. (Arellano Felix later pleaded guilty to federal
charges of selling cocaine
in a San Diego motel and
was sentenced to six years
in prison, but was returned
to Mexico in 2008 after getting credit for time served
in Mexico while awaiting
extradition; he was killed
in Oct. 2013 by a gunman
disguised as a clown.)
One year ago: Eleven Republican presidential candidates debated at the Reagan Presidential Library
in Simi Valley, California,
wrangling over immigration, gay marriage and foreign affairs. Baton-wielding
Hungarian riot police unleashed tear gas and water
cannons against hundreds
of migrants after they broke
through a razor-wire fence
and tried to surge into the
country from Serbia. Country singer Sturgill Simpson
and singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams, both eclectic genre-bending artists,
took home top honors at
the Americana Honors and
Awards show in Nashville.

Police: Ex-auto racer's
father strangles wife,
shoots self
ORANGE, Calif. (AP)
— The father of former
NASCAR driver Robby
Gordon strangled his wife
then shot himself in their
Southern California home,
police said Thursday.
The deaths of Robert
Gordon, 68, and Sharon
Gordon, 57, were an apparent
murder-suicide,
Orange police Lt. Fred
Lopez said a day after the
bodies were found. No further details on the motive
or circumstances were released.
The couple were the
father and stepmother of
ex-NASCAR star Robby
Gordon, who fought back
tears and expressed disbelief Thursday outside the
home on a Southern California hillside where he
grew up and developed his
love of racing.
Gordon recalled how
his father, known as "Baja
Bob and a racer in his own
right," instilled in him a
love for competition and
motorsports in the Orange
County
neighborhood,
where many residents
own horses and dirt riding
trails line the suburban
streets.
"I'm so sad and I can't
believe it," the racing star
told reporters near the
gated house 30 miles (48.3
kilometers) southeast of
Los Angeles where police discovered the bodies
Wednesday after receiving
a 911 call from a neighbor
making a welfare check at
the request of a relative.
The younger Gordon
currently races in an offroad series he created in
2013 called Speed Energy
Formula Off-Road, following the path of his father.
"He taught me at a
young age that 1 horsepower wasn't going to be
enough - go do something
different," Gordon recalled
his father saying. "And I
was fortunate enough to
do something different."
Residents in the upscale neighborhood shared
stories about the couple's
friendly ways — swapping
jokes with neighbors, gifting tickets to racing events
and delivering feed personally to local equestri-
ans.
"I can still see them
walking hand in hand,
walking their dogs down
the street," said John
Reina, who lives across the
street. "To kind of wrap
your head around this
tragedy is very hard to do."
Robby Gordon said
he would speak about the
deaths in more detail once
authorities conclude their
investigation. He thanked
the auto and horse racing
communities for their support and prayers.
Racer Dale Earnhardt
Jr. tweeted that he was
praying for the Gordon
family. "Hope they find
strength and support," he
said.
"Heartbreaking news
this morning. Thinking
of the Gordon family and
friends," NASCAR star
Jimmie Johnson said on
Twitter.
Gordon, 47, has raced
on numerous racing circuits, from NASCAR to IndyCar to Champ Car and
IROC.
Known for his aggressive style, he earned three
wins in parts of 19 seasons
in what is now the NASCAR Sprint Cup. He was
a full-time driver early
last decade and finished
a career-high 16th in the
points standings in 2003
driving for Richard Childress Racing. Gordon last
raced in the Sprint Cup in
2012.
Gordon is one of only
four drivers, joining John
Andretti, Tony Stewart
and Kurt Busch, to compete in the Indianapolis
500 and NASCAR CocaCola 600 on the same day.
He nearly won the 1999
Indy 500 before running
out of fuel in the closing
laps.

Exiled cleric condemns
Turkish crackdown
on his supporters
PHILADELPHIA (AP)
— An Islamic cleric whom
Turkey accuses of masterminding July's abortive
coup again condemned
a Turkish government
crackdown on his supporters, saying Thursday that
his "heart is aching."
In
videotaped
remarks to the World Affairs
Council of Philadelphia,
Fethullah Gulen said the
Turkish government is
using the attempted coup
to justify persecuting his
followers, who he said are
being "subjected to oppression and tyranny, molestation and unlawful acquisition of their private
properties."
Turkish
President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan
blames Gulen for the
failed uprising, which left
at least 270 people dead,
and said he considers him
and his followers to be terrorists. This week, Turkey
sent the United States a
formal request demanding the arrest of Gulen,
who lives in self-imposed
exile on a compound in the
Pocono Mountains.
Gulen has denied any
involvement in the coup
attempt. He said Thursday the crackdown on his
supporters will be recorded as "dark pages in world
history."
The Turkish government declared a state of
emergency after the attempted coup, rounding
up tens of thousands of
Gulen's followers, firing
government employees it
suspects of having ties to
Gulen and closing or seizing thousands of institutions, including schools.
The crackdown has
raised concerns among
Turkey's Western allies
and human rights organizations, which have urged
the government to show
restraint.
Gulen said he thinks
international
human
rights organizations, intellectuals and legal organizations "may react and
push states to act, saying
enough is enough."

WHICH GOD?
By Pastor B.J. Knefley
Out of all of the Gods out there, which one do
you choose to follow? Do you follow the one of your
parents? Or do you find one that best suits your
needs? Which is the right one, or are they all the
same? It has been said that there are 3000 gods to
pick from. Do you pick the hard taskmaster or the
loving grandparent type? Did you know that if you
believe in the Christian God, you are excluding all
the 2999 others as if they didn’t even exist? Some
would probably accuse you of being intolerant and
narrow-minded.
Personally I have given this some thought over
my lifetime. I was brought up in a home that practiced Christianity. It wasn’t perfect, and in fact
there were many unchristian things that went on.
But I was taught that there was a God and it was
the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. As a young
adult I questioned what I had been taught and
started to look elsewhere. Now I didn’t look into
all 3000 gods, but I did check out a few and in each
case I seemed to come up with the same problem.
I couldn’t live up to the expectations.
When you think of it, you can live up to any
of the various religious expectations? Aren’t we
all failures on one form or another? Those very
struggles actually helped me to embrace Christianity. Why? Because Christianity, above and beyond all of the other religions isn’t based on what
you do for God, it’s what He has already done for
you through His Son Jesus Christ. In a moment
while crying out to God about my failure to be able
to live according to his rules and commands He
simply impressed upon my heart that of course I
couldn’t do it. If I could then Jesus didn’t need to
come. I needed to surrender my life to His ability
and let go of my own. This is what Jesus talked to
Nicodemus about in John 3. It’s called being born
again. Has it been perfect since then? No, I still
on occasion take the reins of my life away from
Him and try to do things on my own. It doesn’t
work. Ultimately you can believe that your rocking chair is your god and God will still love you
and reach out to you. Your response is your choice.
Think about it.

SMAMS welcomes new personnel
Grant funds new science tables
St. Marys Area Middle
School would like to
give a warm welcome
to the new faces making positive impacts in
our building. Mrs. Noel
Petrosky, shown on the
right, is the new building principal. Mrs. Traci
Meeker, shown in center,
is the new sixth grade
ELA teacher. Mr. Zachary
Hoy, shown on bottom,
is the new social studies
teacher.
The Science Department at the middle school is very grateful to the Stackpole-Hall Foundation for offering grant money to supply the classrooms with
new desks. The desks are wonderful and allow students to sit in rows or
easily turn to collaborate with each other. They also serve as a white board
writing surface.
Practicing grammer
New math tables
Mrs. Newton’s class is
getting excited about
math by working together! Library tables
were retrofitted with
glass to transform them
into whiteboard tables.
This year the English Department at the middle school received a new grammar series called “Daily Grammar Practice.” This is a daily bell ringer activity
that has students working on sentence structure, sentence types, grammar,
parts of speech and diagramming. The series will be implemented in grades 6-8.
This style of teaching grammar will allow students to build on knowledge all
the while teaching themselves how to identify parts of sentences.
‘Success at Sixth’
‘Mystery Box’ exhibit
The picture in the museum is Mrs. Lepovetsky’s class looking at the Exploratorium’s “Mystery Box” exhibit. The “Mystery Box” items are on loan from the
Historical Society of St. Marys and Benzinger Township. Students had to try and
figure out what the items were and what they were used for.
Mr. Rhed, along with other teachers from the building, lead the sixth graders in
afternoon enrichment called “Success at Sixth.” This program helps build study
skills, leadership skills and helps the sixth graders focus on positive outcomes
of their school year.

Dutchmen top Crusaders 1-0 in overtime
By Becky Polaski
Staff Writer
In a match that
seemed destined to result
in a 0-0 double overtime
draw, the St. Marys Area
Flying Dutchmen instead
managed to get an open
man and a good shot in
the first overtime period
and emerged with a 1-0
victory.
“We’ve found ourselves in a lot of overtime
games over the past couple years, and this is only
the second one that guys
on this team have won,”
said St. Marys Area head
coach Russ Micale. “It’s
been a while with these
guys too having overtime
opportunities with them
as well. It feels good to
come out on top in overtime.”
Micale acknowledged
that there were a number
of instances where the
match could have turned
out differently.
“It was a hard fought
game by both teams,”
Micale said. “There were
lots of opportunities and
it could have been ended
by either team throughout the game. I’m proud
of my guys. They played
hard and never gave up.”
ECC assistant coach
Mike Shaffer was also
pleased with the performance of his squad despite the disappointing
outcome.
“Overall, we played
well,” Shaffer said. “We
controlled the ball. We
controlled the majority
of the possession of the
game, which has been a
big improvement from the
past games with them.”
Shaffer chalked the
overtime goal up to a simple miscue.
“It’s no one’s real mistake other than we didn’t
make up a man who got
the ball and scored, but
that’s going to happen,”
Shaffer said.
Both teams had a
number of opportunities
in both halves of regulation, but strong play
by each squad’s defense
kept the match scoreless through the first 80
minutes. Both keepers
had some nice saves dur-
ing that stretch as they
thwarted every nice opportunity the other offense was able to generate.
The difference maker
in the match came with
3:38 remaining in the first
overtime period as Dutchman Jackson Lindemuth
was able to get open and
send a nice, low shot past
ECC keeper Alex O’Neill
for the game-winner. Lindemuth has been on fire
for the Dutch lately and
accounted for four goals
in their 6-1 victory over
Smethport earlier in the
week.
The match was the
second in less than a
week between the crosstown rivals and both have
been decided by just one
goal. In their previous
meeting, ECC topped St.
Marys 2-1 in the opening
round of the Elk County
Tournament last Friday
on their home field in
Kersey. They will get one
more shot at each other
when they meet for the
third and final time on

The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader volleyball team was in action at
home on Thursday night
and swept the Brockway
Lady Rovers 3-0.
ECC won the first set
25-7, the second set 25-12
and the third set 25-17.
“I thought we played
very well,” said ECC
head coach Diane Gies.
“We tried to make some
changes to our defense
[Wednesday] at practice
and I think that this was a
good match to try that out
in. I was really pleased
with how the kids embraced the changes that
we made and kind of just
took them in stride and
moved forward, because
[Wednesday] I wasn’t
quite so sure how it was
going to go. But they really stepped up and they
embraced the changes
and I thought we played
well defensively covering
some areas of weakness
that we’ve had over the
last couple weeks. So we’ll
see as we move forward.”
All members of the
Lady Crusader varsity
squad also had the opportunity to see action in the
match.
“It was nice to get everybody in to play,” Gies
said. “Brockway is down
in numbers this year and
you’re just always looking
for an opportunity to get
kids playing time at the
varsity level because it
is so much different. The
speed of the game is different. And if you can just
give them those couple
points here and there it
makes the transition from

ECC rode the serve
of Cassidy Cunningham
to a 7-0 lead in the first
game. Brockway struggled in the early going
and turned the serve right
back over, and with Kara

Crusaders extended their
advantage to 16-1. Reilly

gave the serve back to
Brockway. Following a return out of bounds, a kill
by Jordyn Fox gave the
serve back to ECC with
the score 24-7. Brockway
was unable to return the
next volley and ECC won
the first set 25-7.
The second set also
saw ECC take an early
lead as the Lady Crusaders went up 5-0. As the set
went on, ECC was able to
go on short runs behind
the serving of Detsch,
Fox and Cunningham,
and they led 22-10 when
Brianna Weisner took
over serving. A return
into the net by the Lady
Rovers and an ace made
the score 24-10, but short
serve gave the serve back
to Brockway. A return out
of bounds by ECC made
the score 24-12, but then
Brockway’s ensuing serve
went out of bounds to
make the final score 2512.
The Lady Crusaders
found themselves in a bit
of an unfamiliar position
at the start of the third
set as Brockway took a
5-1 lead early. As the set
wore on, the Lady Crusaders would close the
deficit but they would
only take the lead for the
first time when a kill by
Ramsey Struble put them
ahead 16-15 with Josie
Smith serving. The Lady
Crusaders continued to
pull away, and by the
time Kristen Kirst came
up to serve, they were
ahead 21-17. A block by
Cunningham, a kill by
Detsch, an unreturned
volley and a kill by Cunningham resulted in the
final points of the match
and gave the Lady Crusaders a 25-17 victory as
they swept Brockway 3-0.
In the junior varsity
game, Brockway defeated
ECC 25-14 and 27-25.
The Lady Crusaders
will be back in action on
Tuesday when they travel
to Sheffield for a match
against the Lady Wolverines. The junior varsity
match is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. with varsity

McCutchen hits 2 of Pirates’
5 homers in 15-2 win
PHILADELPHIA (AP)
— Chad Kuhl’s fan club
brought the noise.
Andrew McCutchen
hit two solo homers, Kuhl
pitched six effective innings and the Pittsburgh
Pirates beat the Philadelphia Phillies 15-2 Thursday night.
Jordy Mercer hit a
three-run homer and John
Jaso and Sean Rodriguez
also went deep to help the
Pirates split a four-game
series.
Kuhl (4-3) allowed two
runs and four hits, striking out five. He retired
the first 12 batters before
Tommy Joseph lined a
double to right-center in
the fifth.
The righty grew up
in nearby Delaware and
more than 100 of his family, friends and acquaintances turned out to show
their support. Many of
them sat behind Pittsburgh’s dugout.
“It was loud,” Kuhl
said.
Pirates manager Clint
Hurdle was amused to see
so much enthusiasm on
the road.
“Now we know what it
sounded like when Chad
played Little League,”
Hurdle said. “It was very
entertaining. They were
cheering every pitch. It
was fun.”
Kuhl hid his emotions
well.
“I
was
definitely
amped up, seeing people
I hadn’t seen since I was
maybe 12 years old,” he
said. “I was nervous. I
tried to block it out.”
Phillies starter Jerad
Eickhoff (10-14) gave up
six runs — three earned
— and five hits (four homers) in 6 2/3 innings.
“I feel like I let the
guys down in here,” he
said. “These guys are
fighting. I have to live
with that. That’s the most
frustrating thing.”
Jaso led off the game
with his sixth homer. McCutchen drove one out to
center in the fourth. Rodriguez connected in the
fifth to make it 3-0.
Mercer’s
shot
increased the Pirates’ lead
to 6-2 in the seventh. McCutchen hit his 23rd homer off Frank Herrmann in
the eighth.

The Pirates had seven
hits and eight runs in the

“I thought we fell
asleep during the second game but otherwise
we played well,” said St.
Marys coach Frank VanAlstine.
“Caitlyn Bankovich
had a wonderful night all
the way around,” said VanAlstine.
“Our blocks helped us
close out game fourth and
I was pleased with that,”
added VanAlstine.
St. Marys was led by
Caitlyn Bankovich with
16 service points and six
kills. Rachelle Armanini

blocks while Kali Tarle

Ridgway was led by
Haley Barner with 11

Fullem had two service

“Losing our two big
middles makes us a small
squad,” said Lady Elker
coach Janet Redmond.
“Losing Emily and
Nicole effects our rotation,” said Redmond.
“St. Marys covered
the whole court and we
were out of whack. Now
we have to recover,” added Redmond.
The first set went

lead. The teams went

Lady Crusaders defeat Punxsutawney 6-1
By Becky Polaski
Staff Writer
The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader tennis team added another
win to their season total
with a 6-1 victory over
the Punxsutawney Lady
Chucks on Thursday afternoon in a match played
at Benzinger Park.
“Lots of sunshine and
cooler temps set the stage
for another great tennis
match at the Benzinger
Park courts,” said ECC
head coach Pete Meier.
“We faced a really nice
Punxsutawney squad in
a very entertaining contest. It’s always an enjoyable time when our
teams meet. The Lady
Chucks are well coached,
they are honest competitors and they play great
tennis and that is a testament to head coach Rose
Graffius and the program
she’s developed.”
The Lady Chucks’ lone
victory of the day came at
first singles where Kaitlyn Ray defeated Maria
Hoh 6-0, 6-0.
“Maria Hoh and Kaitlyn Ray faced each other
for the second time this
year and Kaitlyn came
away with a hard fought
win,” Meier said. “Their
first singles match fea-
tured great serves, a lot
of long rallies and a lot of
fantastic shots. Both girls
should do very well in the
upcoming District tournaments.”
ECC won the remaining three singles matches. At second singles,
Emma Coppolo won 6-0,
6-0 over Donna Roberts.
At third singles, Emily
Miller defeated Michaela
Johnston 6-1, 6-0 and at
fourth singles, Jenna Minard won 6-2, 6-0 over
Abby Gigliotti.
“Our third and fourth
singles players continue
to play well for us as Emily Miller notched the
team’s first win at third
singles and Jenna Minard secured the overall
match with her fourth
singles victory,” Meier
said. “Emily and Jenna
are playing really well for
us, they both continue to
improve and [Thursday]
they played great tennis.”
The Lady Crusaders won all three doubles
matches.
At first doubles, Hoh
and Coppolo teamed up
to defeat Ray and Gigliotti 9-7.
“Emma Coppolo continues to play good tennis
for us as she won at second singles before teaming up with Maria Hoh in
the match of the day at
first doubles,” Meier said.
“The first doubles match
was a back and forth
contest that had everyone on the edge of their
chair. Maria and Emma
won four of the first five
games only to lose six of
the next seven games before rallying to win the
final four games and the
match. It was an outstanding match between
two evenly matched doubles pairs.”
At second doubles, Allie Gier and Emily Evers
won 8-5 over Kaitlin Doverspike and Alex Campbell.
“The
final
match
of the day was a long,
evenly matched affair at
second doubles featuring
good serves, long rallies
and great net play,” Meier said. “Emily Evers and
Allie Gier make a great
doubles team and they
earned a hard fought win
against a very good doubles team.”
At third doubles, Alicia Fritz and Isabeau
Stager won 8-0 over Liz
Stella and Jordyn Powell.
“Isabeau Stager and
Alicia Fritz also played a
very good match at third
doubles,” Meier said.
“Teamwork is the hallmark of successful dou-
bles teams and Isabeau
and Alicia proved that.”
Meier added that other members of the Lady
Crusader squad also saw
action in exhibition and
performed well.
“As is always the case
when we play Punxsy,
both teams have good
numbers and so exhibition provides everyone from both squads a
chance to compete,” Meier said. “Victoria Glatt
played her first ever
singles match and did
extremely well and Tori
then teamed with Maggie Challingsworth in a
really exciting doubles
match. Grace Keyes and
Sophie Neubert treated
everyone to a really nice
match that completed a
great day of tennis.”
ECC will be back in
action Tuesday when
they host Bradford in a
3:30 p.m. match.
“[Thursday] was another wonderful day of
tennis,” Meier added. “We
enjoyed good food, good
company and an incredibly nice opponent. We
know we still have some
things to work on, but
we had a great week on
the courts and I am very
happy with our progress.
This is one of the nicest
groups I’ve ever coached.”
DuBois Area tennis downs Lady Dutch 6-1
By Jim Mulcahy
Staff Writer
The St. Marys Area
Lady Dutch tennis team
saw their record slip to 6-3
with a 6-1 loss to the DuBois Area Lady Beavers in
a match played at DuBois
Thursday.
“Today’s match was a
very challenging one for
the Lady Dutch. DuBois
is a fantastic tennis team
with very great coaches,”
said St. Marys coach Dave
Lion.
At first singles, DuBois’ Marissa Torrtti defeated Sarah Casey 6-2,
3-6, 10-8.
At second doubles,
SMA’s Jessie Jordan beat
Alexa Zartman 6-3, 2-6,
15-13.
Alexis Strouse of the
Lady Beavers defeated
Leah Gabler 6-2, 6-3.
At fourth singles, Alexa Alker of DuBois defeated Taylor Klaiber 6-2,
6-1.
“Sarah Casey and Marissa Torretti played outstanding tennis. Sarah
started out a little slow but
found her rhythm in the
second set, pushing it to a
third set tie breaker. There
were very long rallies between the two girls. Sarah
played with great intensity
although Torretti pulled
off the win,” said Lion.
“Jessie Jordan and Alexa Zartman also had an
exciting match. This was
our only win of the day and
was very hard fought on
Jordan’s part. She played
aggressive running down
every ball. These two ladies battled back and forth
into a third set tie breaker.
Jessie proved herself by
her never give up attitude
to come up with the win,”
said Lion.
“Leah Gabler had a
nice match against Alexis
Strouse. This match was
a good learning experience for Gabler. Strouse
placed her shots very well
and moved Leah around
the court for her victory.
Taylor Klaiber started out
pretty strong but the momentum then shifted into
Alexa Alker’s favor and
she forced Klaiber to make
a lot of errors,” said Lion.
At first doubles, DuBois’ Marissa Torretti and
Alexis Strouse defeated
Sarah Casey and Leah Gabler 8-2.
At second doubles, Sierra Via and Gabby Henrichs of the Lady Beavers
beat Taylor Klaiber and
Jessie Jordan, 8-6.
DuBois’ Alaina Heberling and Haley McAninch
defeated Kayla Mitchell
and Isabella Ehrensberger
8-2.
“DuBois swept all
three of the doubles
matches. They simply
outplayed us and wanted
the win more. It’s great to
play such a quality team
like DuBois because now
we know what we have to
work on. We also had some
exhibition matches today
and all the girls got court
time,” said Lion.
“We are very proud of
the effort from our girls
and all the hard work
they put into practice and
matches,” added Lion.
St. Marys returns
to action Tuesday when
they host Brockway at the
SMAHS courts at 3:30 p.m.
Buffalo Bills retire Bruce Smith’s No. 78
ORCHARD
PARK,
N.Y. (AP) — Bruce Smith
joined some elite company
in Buffalo.
The NFL’s career sacks
leader and Hall of Famer
had his No. 78 retired during a halftime ceremony at
Buffalo’s game against the
New York Jets on Thursday night.
Smith was joined at
midfield during a halftime
ceremony by his family
as his name and number
were unveiled on the wall
above the east end zone.
The field was adorned
with a circular banner
with Smith’s name and
number and a separate
banner with a picture of
Smith during his playing
days in Buffalo.
“It feels so good to be
home,” Smith told a sold-
out New Era Field. “There
are no words that I can
utter here tonight that
will adequately convey
just how overjoyed, overwhelmed, and honored I
am to have my jersey retired from this storied Buffalo Bills organization.”
Smith played 19 seasons in the NFL, 15 of
those with the Bills and
is the NFL’s all-time sack
leader with 200 and had
171 with Buffalo.
“He’s obviously right
there with the premier
pass-rushers in the history
of the game so, man, maybe we can convince him to
come rush the passer on
third down,” Bills coach
Rex Ryan said Tuesday.
“He still looks like he can
by the way.”

Ward’s TDs rally
No. 6 Houston to 40-16
win over Cincinnati
CINCINNATI (AP) —
Greg Ward Jr. returned
from a one-game absence
and ran for two fourthquarter touchdowns to
help No. 6 Houston —
steadied by its fabulous defense — pull away to a 4016 victory over Cincinnati
on Thursday night.
The Cougars (3-0, 1-0
American Athletic) trailed
16-12 early in the fourth
quarter before Ward and
the defense took over.
Ward had the scoring runs
to regain the lead, and the
Cougars returned a pair
of interceptions for touchdowns to close it out.
Ward sat out a 42-0
win over Lamar on Saturday with a sore shoulder.
He came through pregame
warmups fine Thursday
and dispelled any worries
about his arm with a 39yard touchdown pass on
the Cougars’ second series.
Houston’s defense took
away any semblance of a
running game from Cincinnati (2-1, 0-1) and accounted for 16 points on
its own — a safety and the
two interception returns.
The Cougars haven’t
allowed any of their last
five opponents to rush
for 100 yards. Cincinnati
managed only 30 yards
rushing, putting too much
pressure on redshirt sophomore Hayden Moore.
THE TAKEAWAY
HOUSTON: Oh that
defense.
The
Cougars
didn’t need to get a lot
out of their offense — and
Ward wasn’t at his best
— in order to win a tough
league game on the road.
That’s another good sign in
a season that opened with
a 33-23 win over Oklahoma.

STATE
COLLEGE
(AP) — Penn State detailed plans Thursday
to mark the 50th anniversary of Joe Paterno’s
first win as hundreds of
the late coach’s former
players made their way
back to State College for
a private reunion, marking a milestone that has
emerged as a sensitive
issue for the university
and people critical of Paterno’s role in the Jerry
Sandusky child sex abuse
scandal.
Athletic director Sandy Barbour said Thursday that commemorations
during Penn State’s game
Saturday against Temple
would focus on Paterno’s
commitment to studentathletes and academics,
plus highlights of the
1966 game and players
from that team.
“Coach Paterno wanted academic success not
only for his players but
also for every student who
came through Penn State.
Together with his wife,
Sue, they helped countless students become
leaders and earn a Penn
State diploma,” Barbour
said in a statement. “Our
plans are consistent with
the wishes of the Paterno
family as well, with a focus on the players and
their accomplishments at
Penn State and beyond.”
The statement did
not mention the scandal
or address the backlash
that sparked immediately
after the athletic department announced before
the season started that it
would formally honor the
anniversary.
Paterno coached at
Penn State for 46 seasons,
becoming college football’s
winningest coach. But the
coach was fired by the
school’s board of trustees
shortly after Sandusky,
who was his defensive coordinator, was arrested in
November 2011 for child
sexual abuse. Paterno
died in January 2012 of
lung cancer.
In May, unsealed
court documents said an
alleged Sandusky victim
said he complained to Paterno about Sandusky in
1976 and was rebuffed.
The university’s president, Eric Barron, has
said the allegation was
not substantiated in court
or tested by any other process. Paterno was never
charged with a crime related to the scandal.
Sandusky was convicted on 45 of 48 charges
in June 2012 and is serving a 30- to 60-year sentence.
Warren Hartenstine
played on Paterno’s first
team in 1966 and was
one of a handful of former players to help the
Paterno family organize
Friday’s reunion. As he
prepared to leave his
Maryland home for State
College on Thursday, he

the scandal has proven
a difficult challenge for
Penn State, requiring
leaders to balance distancing the university
from the scandal while
juggling the wishes of ardent Penn State supporters who credit Paterno for
giving the university an
identity to be proud of.
The private reunion,
proposed by Paterno’s
widow Sue Paterno, is
expected to draw nearly
500 former players across
five decades to the school’s
baseball stadium, which
is owned by the university
but managed by a private
company that runs minor
league baseball and other
events at the ballpark.
The park is adjacent to
Beaver Stadium, Penn
State’s football field.
Sue Paterno said in
a statement that the reunion was to honor the
achievements of the players and to raise funds by
charging $50 per player
for graduating Penn State
athletes to attend graduate school. She said while
she was pleased the university planned to mark
the occasion too, the family told the university it
wanted the focus of the
event to be on the players.
“The university has
confirmed that this is
their plan, and we commend them for their approach,” she said.
Brewers crash Cubs party with 5-4 win at Wrigley Field
CHICAGO (AP) —
The Chicago Cubs tried to
throw a party. Pinch-hitter Scooter Gennett had
other ideas.
Gennett hit a tiebreaking, two-run double
in the seventh inning, and
the Milwaukee Brewers
spoiled the Chicago Cubs’
first opportunity to clinch
the NL Central title with
a 5-4 victory Thursday
night.
Chicago (93-53) was
hoping to begin a 10-game
homestand with a boozy
celebration of its first division title since 2008.
But Keon Broxton homered and Orlando Arcia
drove in two runs for Milwaukee, making the Cubs
wait for the result of St.
Louis’ game at San Francisco to find out if their
season-long dominance of
the Central was complete.
The crowd of 41,362
cheered
loudly
when
Hunter Pence’s two-run
homer in the first inning
against the Cardinals was
shown on the video board
in left field.
Jorge Soler hit a tworun homer for the Cubs,
who had won three of
four. Mike Montgomery
pitched six solid innings
and helped himself with a
tying single in the fourth
for his first career hit.
Justin Grimm (1-1) replaced Montgomery in the
seventh and the Brewers
put runners on first and
third with one out. Gennett, batting for Jimmy
Nelson (8-14), blooped an
0-2 pitch into the corner
in left for a 5-3 Milwaukee
lead.
The Cubs got one back
on Jason Heyward’s RBI
double in the eighth, but
Tyler Thornburg threw
a called third strike past
pinch-hitter Willson Contreras with runners at the
corners to end the inning.
Thornburg
also
worked the ninth for his
10th save in 15 chances.
Nelson won for only
the second time in his
last 11 starts as Milwaukee (66-81) improved to
4-4 on an 11-game trip.
The right-hander allowed
eight hits, struck out seven and walked two.
Even with the loss,
it’s only a matter of time
before Chicago clinches
the division. But the NL
Central crown is not how
this group of Cubs will
be judged, not this year.
After running roughshod
over the rest of the majors for most of the season, Anthony Rizzo and
Co. are trying to end the
franchise’s famous championship drought, going
all the way back to when
the Cubs beat the Tigers
in the 1908 World Series.
“We’ve got a lot ahead
of us. We really do,” president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said
before the loss. “It kind of
all boils down to how you
perform in October.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Brewers: RHP Michael Blazek (right forearm strain) threw a simulated game. Manager
Craig Counsell would like
to get Blazek into some
games before the end of
the season, but he said
there’s no rush. “The goal
with Mike is just to go into
the offseason healthy,”
Counsell said.
Cubs: RHP Pedro
Strop, who tweaked his
right groin while working his way back from
arthroscopic left knee surgery, threw a bullpen session and said it went well.
“He’s getting close,” manager Joe Maddon said.
“It’s not far off.”

Lackey (9-8, 3.35 ERA)

Forte scores 3 TDs in leading Jets to 37-31 win over Bills
ORCHARD
PARK,
N.Y. (AP) — Matt Forte
scored three touchdowns
and Ryan Fitzpatrick finally solved Rex Ryan’s
defense, leading the New
York Jets to a 37-31 victory over the Buffalo Bills
on Thursday night.
Forte’s 3-yard run put
New York ahead 27-24
with 2:12 left in the third
quarter. He sealed the win
by patiently waiting for a
seam to open before scampering into the end zone
from 12 yards to put New
York up 37-24 with 4:02
left in the fourth quarter.
Forte finished with
100 yards rushing, and
the offseason free-agent
addition became the 13th
New York player to score
three rushing touchdowns
in a game.
The Jets (1-1) bounced
back from a season-opening loss to Cincinnati and
snapped a five-game skid
against their AFC East
rivals.
Fitzpatrick finished
24 of 34 for 374 yards and
a 5-yard touchdown pass
to Eric Decker.
In beating one of his
former teams, Fitzpatrick also overcame the
stinging memories of last
year’s season finale, a
22-17 loss at Buffalo that
eliminated the Jets from
playoff contention. Fitzpatrick closed the loss by
throwing interceptions on
each of the Jets final three
possessions.
The Bills (0-2) are
suddenly reeling in Ryan’s
second season as coach,
and two years after being
fired by the Jets.
Their offense sputtered in a 13-7 loss at
Baltimore on Sunday,
and now it was their defense that showed cracks
against the Jets.
New York finished
with 493 yards offense, 28
first downs and had seven
drives cross midfield.
Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor rebounded five
days after he was limited to 111 yards passing
against the Ravens.
He went 18 of 30
for 298 yards and three
touchdowns.
Marquise
Goodwin scored on an
84-yarder catch, Greg Salas scored on a 71-yard
catch and running back
Mike Gillislee made it
close, by catching an 18yard touchdown pass with
1:17 remaining.

St. Marys Stone Mulch & More
described his emotions
in a telephone interview
with the AP. He said he
understands and accepts
that Paterno has become
a polarizing figure.
“Coach Paterno, I
think in many ways was
naive about everything
in the world except football and human growth,”
Hartenstine said. “We
were the fulfillment of
what his life’s goals were.
He adopted my family, my
college roommates, everyone. You were just very
special to him. How to respond to the accusations?
There’s a sense of impossibility about it.”
But Hartenstine said
he doesn’t consider the
reunion a celebration of
Paterno. Rather, it’s about
recognizing the achievements of players who
were a part of the coach’s
“Grand Experiment” that
placed an emphasis on
academics.
“The emphasis has
been not so much on Joe
Paterno,”
Hartenstine
said. “This is about the
men of the Grand Experiment. (Sue Paterno)
repeats it over and over
again that the accomplishments of lettermen
are what this is a celebration of. I shouldn’t even
say lettermen. There are
walk-ons that were there,
some on our team, who
put in their four years and
worked, very, very hard.”

DEAR ANNIE®
COPYRIGHT 2016 CREATORS SYNDICATE, INC.
Dear Annie: We are a large group of middle-aged siblings with one sister who has little
engagement outside the home. She is an empty
nester who does not work, volunteer or have any
regular friends or social activities.
Our problem occurs when it comes time
for a family function. She wants to control the
event to the point that we cannot enjoy it. The
importance of these events to her self-worth is
truly disturbing. She once commandeered a
small retirement party, and we received 60 texts
and calls within 24 hours. We have regained
some ground by politely initiating plans before
she does, hosting events at our own homes or
avoiding her during events if she’s in one of her
controlling moods.
Unfortunately, this loss of total control has
brought out some mean-spiritedness in her. She
will “sweetly” insult or command us in front of
relatives, withhold information and find ways to
demonstrate that the plans of others are “wrong.”
We love our sister, and we know she
needs help. We are not comfortable approaching
her husband, as their dynamics may be a small
part of the problem. We approached our parents,
but she behaves well with the older generation,
and they don’t see what we see. I have given her
names of counselors and suggestions for outside
activities that don’t involve family. The problem
is getting worse, and she is turning Machiavellian on us. Any other ideas? -- Family Exercise in
Futility
Dear Family: Idle hands are the devil’s
workshop, especially when they’re holding a
smartphone. In this case, the “devil” is your sister’s pathological need for control, which she has
allowed to totally consume her.
Give her a chore so she feels like a part of
the plan -- something that will satisfy her need to
feel needed without making a mess of the whole
event.
You’ve taken many steps to try to help,
and I commend your efforts. Let’s hope she will
be open to seeking help in the future. But at a
certain point, you have to accept that you can’t
control the control freak.
Dear Annie: I am 62, and my only sibling,
a brother, died 16 years ago. My parents have
been dead for years. Recently, I was told by an
elderly cousin that I have a half brother. My father
got an employee pregnant, and now this boy is
50. He’s an only child. His mother was married
and let her husband think the son was his biological son. She and the husband are now in their
80s. No one knows the truth except the cousin,
the mom and me. I don’t think my dad ever knew.
I called the mother up, and she was very
belligerent -- understandably. She pretty much
admitted it’s true. It would be hard to deny because her son looks exactly like my dad. I told
her I don’t want to cause trouble for her husband,
the poor 80-year-old man who thinks this is his
biological son. And I don’t want to cause trouble
for my half brother, who thinks that man is his
biological dad. The mom just shouted back that
she doesn’t care who I tell.
I had just called to see whether the family
knows, but seeing as no one else does, I don’t
want to say anything. I plan on sticking to that,
but there are times when I really wish I could connect with my brother. Do you think there will be
a time when I wouldn’t be selfish in trying to call
him? Of course, he might hate the messenger.
-- To Tell the Truth or Keep Quiet
Dear Truth: It would be selfish to tell your
half brother this world-shattering fact only because you’re lonely. But there are other reasons
for letting him know about his biological father.
For one, as he gets older, he might benefit from
knowing your dad’s medical history.
It sounds as if his mom is unable to think
rationally about the situation. Perhaps you could
enlist your cousin for help, as he or she seems to
have more background on the situation. (Working with your cousin would be a good opportunity
to bond with a family member, too.) Your half
brother is 50 -- old enough to decide for himself
what to do with the information. The man who
raised him will always be his dad. Knowing about
his biological father wouldn’t change that, and
it might give him a deeper understanding of his
own identity.

13-year-old with BB gun killed
by police in Columbus, Ohio
COLUMBUS,
Ohio
(AP) — A black boy. A
white Ohio police officer.
A pellet gun that looked
like a real weapon. And a
deadly shooting.
In a killing with unavoidable echoes of the
Tamir Rice case out of
Cleveland, a Columbus
officer responding to a report of a $10 armed robbery shot a 13-year-old
boy Wednesday night after the youngster pulled
a BB gun from his waistband that looked "practically identical" to the
weapon police use, authorities say.
On the morning after Tyre King's death,
Mayor Andrew Ginther
appeared to choke up
as he called for the community to come together
and questioned why an
eighth-grader would have
a replica of a police firearm.
"There is something
wrong in this country, and
it is bringing its epidemic
to our city streets," Ginther said Thursday. "And
a 13-year-old is dead in
the city of Columbus because of our obsession
with guns and violence."
While the case is
still under investigation,
police and city authorities rejected comparisons to the 2014 killing
of 12-year-old Tamir in
Cleveland.
"The only thing similar in nature is the age,
race and outcome," police spokesman Sgt. Rich
Weiner said. "The facts
are not similar, and that
must be reiterated."
Dozens of people attended a Thursday evening vigil near the scene
of the shooting. Some
carried signs calling for
justice for Tyre. Among
those participating were
several members of Tyre's
youth football team. Their
coach described the firstyear player as someone
with a "smile that could
light up the room."
Officers investigating
the robbery report east
of downtown Columbus
spotted three males who
matched the description
of the suspects, authorities said. Two of the males
ran away when officers
tried to speak with them.
The police chased the
pair into an alley and
tried to take them into
custody. Tyre pulled out
a gun with a laser sight,
and an officer fired, hitting the boy repeatedly,
police said. Tyre died at a
hospital.
The officer was identified as Bryan Mason, a
nine-year veteran of the
force. Police records show
that in 2012 he shot and
killed a man who was
holding another person at
gunpoint. The Columbus
Dispatch said investigators cleared him.
Mason
has
been
placed on leave while
Tyre's shooting is investigated, in keeping with
department policy. A call
to the head of the police
union representing him
was not immediately returned.
In a 911 call Wednesday, the robbery victim
calmly indicated he didn't
want to make a big deal
over $10. He also said
he thought the weapon
looked like a particular
type of Ruger semi-automatic pistol. Sirens were
heard moments later as
police searched for the
suspects. Then an unidentified witness told a
dispatcher: "He's shooting him! Oh, my God!"
At a news conference,
Police Chief Kim Jacobs
displayed a photo of a BB
gun like the one Tyre had.
"Our officers carry a
gun that looks practically
identical to this weapon,"
she said. "As you can see,
it looks like a firearm that
could kill you."
An attorney for Tyre's
family, Sean Walton,
called for an independent
investigation. He also
NEW ORLEANS (AP)

dashed past firefighters
into a burning New Orleans house Thursday
to rescue two completed
novels stored on his laptop.
"Anybody that's ever
created art, there's no
replacing that," Gideon
Hodge, 35, told The New
Orleans Advocate) after safely making it out
of the burning building
with the computer. "It's
got pretty much my life's
work."
Hodge describes himself as a playwright, novelist and actor.
The fire in New Orleans' Broadmoor neighborhood had spread to the
house where Hodge lived
from an empty, singlefamily house next door,
where firefighters believe
it started. Dozens of firefighters battled the stubborn three-alarm blaze
for hours. A huge column
of black smoke was visible for miles.
No injuries were re-
