Representatives from Seneca
Resources were on hand Tuesday evening during the St. Marys
Planning Commission meeting to
discuss their stance on the city’s
proposed oil and gas ordinance.
During the meeting, St.
Marys Solicitor Tom Wagner reviewed changes in the proposed
ordinance with the planning commission. The ordinance has been
in the works for nearly one year.
Christopher Trejchel, Seneca Resources assistant general
counsel, brought up several objections to the ordinance, including
setback requirements, the city’s
definition of occupied structures,
and the need to undergo a conditional use hearing to obtain a well
development permit.
“We are asking for an ordinance that is fair for everyone
and not see something put in
place that is backing us into a corner and forcing our hand where
we feel we have to go to the courts
in order to resolve the matter.
That’s not good for us, that’s not
good for the city,” Trejchel said. “I
think the intent here is to provide
something that is very balanced
and fair.”

County with the typical site hav-

Programs near standstill with budget impasse
By Joseph Bell
Daily Press Editor
RIDGWAY – The lack of a
state budget continues to have
adverse effects throughout the
commonwealth.
On Tuesday morning, the
Elk County Board of Commissioners broached the topic with
area social service providers and
state Representative Matt Gabler (R-Clearfield/Elk).

Tuesday morning alongside state Representative Matt Gabler (R-Clearfield/Elk).
RIDGWAY – A nominee who
successfully won the primary
on the Republican ticket for Jay
Township Supervisor has relocated out of the municipality.
“As of February to March,
that time period, we had an individual, Eric Johnston, he was
a resident of Jay Township at
the time he filed his petition,”
said Elk County Elections Director Kim Frey. “[Johnston] went
through the main primary and
won on the Republican ticket in
the primary. There had been rumors before the primary that he
had moved out of the township
but we did not receive any information on that.”
The county elections office
must be “notified directly” and a
review of the voter registration
logs shows Johnston voted in the
primary election and was a resident, according to voting records
during the primary.
“After the primary, he took a
job in a different county and municipality, and he then submitted
a withdraw candidacy request as

RIDGWAY – County officials
are reporting an increase in voter
registration since the Department
of State rolled out online voter registration.
“Individuals now who are 18
years of age or older can go online and register to vote,” said Elk
County Elections Director Kim
Frey. “They can go to the website,
register.votespa.com, and in addition to what’s already in place, you
can fill out the application, it’s simple, user-friendly, and we’ve looked
at it as well.”
PA# 092857

Online applicants are able to
fill out the form just as one would a
physical paper application.
“You submit it, there’s a signature that you can link through
PennDOT for your ID, and if you’re
unable to do so or do not have that
ID, you print the form off, sign it,
and complete it,” Frey said. “If the
application is without a signature,
we will notify the individual…we
send it to them and they can sign it
and mail it back.”
Despite the new online registration capability, there is still a

RIDGWAY – Officials took more

The event is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 12 at 2 p.m. on the Elk

has determined that we’ll be opening it up, and some people will be

deadline to register, that being 30 days prior to any election. The deadline is Oct. 5
for the Nov. 3 election.
“If an individual starts
to complete their application five minutes before
midnight on Oct. 5, and
doesn’t complete it until
after midnight, then they
missed the deadline,” Frey
said. “This is not voting online, you still have to go and
vote, it does not change the
process at the polling locations.”
The county elections
office has already seen increased activity with residents submitting applications daily.
Voters are also able to
make a change of address,
party or name through this
online process.
“It will increase the
number of registered voters,
I’m just hoping it increases
the participation in the election,” Frey said. “We’re seeing our numbers climbing
as more people have taken
an interest in voting. We
want to see people get out
there and exercise their
right to vote.”
The election will be held
Tuesday, Nov. 3 from 7 a.m.
to 8 p.m.
“People in the oil and
gas industry do not like
conditional use. It is litigious and creates opportunity for the objectants
to file court cases which
slows the process down,”
Wagner said.
He added there should
be a heightened level of
consideration if a conditional use permit is granted.
Trejchel objected, indicating that a conditional
use hearing stating the
process is time-consuming
and could take up to one
day to complete the process.
Seneca prefers the well
development process be
considered under permitted use, allowing property
owners to use the property
for their intended use as
is allowed in that specific
zoning district.
Trejchel encouraged
the planning commission
to review Ridgway Township’s, oil and gas ordinance in which they opted
for a permitted use rather
than a conditional use.
“If we’re at a distance
outside of 1,000 feet and
we’ve met all of the other
conditions in the ordinance, what purpose is
really served by a conditional use hearing? If it’s
between 750 feet and 1,000
feet, a conditional hearing
is justified,” Trejchel said.
“We realize that depending on how close we are to
any residences, that raises
questions and we want to
make sure that we’re doing the right things out
there.”
While Seneca officials
said they are not 100 percent happy with Ridgway
Township’s
ordinance,
they claim it is an ordinance that they can work
with.
Resident Mike Brock
encouraged the planning
commission to stick with
the conditional use requirement for permits.
“It is one tool the city
has. Chris (Trejchel) said
it might tie up one day,
but it’s a major operation,”
Brock said.
Resident Paul Fleming
said the Haney Hill well
site has been active since
last April, stating residents never know where
traffic will be coming from
or going to due to sporadic
production at the well site.
Robert Boulware, Seneca Resources stakeholder
relations manager, explained the Haney Hill site
is not a typical well site but
is a delineation well which
they use to assess what the
potential production could
be for a well in that area.
While the delineation
well sites run the same
way as a typical well pad,
they do not have an entire
pad worth of wells on the
site which are usually between eight to 14 wells.
Trejchel added most
activity on well sites last
anywhere from six weeks
to three months.
He welcomed the planning commission and city
council to forward any
questions they may have
onto Seneca for further
clarification.
Also in attendance
at the meeting were St.
Marys City Council members Gary Anderson and
Sally Geyer along with
several residents.
In other Planning
Commission activity:
The Bicycle/Pedestrian Committee report is
progressing.
The
Elk
County
Planning Commission is
planning an Oct. 1 meeting with North Central
Pennsylvania
Regional
Planning and Development Commission and

District’s stadium renovation and for St. Marys

Ordinance
ing between nine to 14
wells. Those wells will
produce for more than 20
years.
Trejchel noted there
has been a slowdown in
drilling lately and Seneca
does not plan to drill any
new wells in St. Marys
within the next five to six
months.
“To date things are going slowly and being wellconsidered,” he added.
While the ordinance
specifies
setback
requirements of 1,000 feet,
Trejchel said Seneca recommends a 750-ft. setback.
“This is effectively
sterilizing any surface operations on a very large
part of the City of St.
Marys,” Trejchel said of
the proposed setback.
There is an additional
provision in the ordinance
allowing city council to
reduce setback requirements when appropriate.
Seneca officials have
previously stated they are
concerned that property
owners could rig the system by erecting animal
pens on their boundary
line, however the ordinance states the structure
must be a permanent
structure in which the
property owner would
have to obtain a permit
from the city before building it.
Wagner said city council would have to define if
the erection of the building is done in good faith.
“A zoning ordinance
is a balance,” Wagner emphasized.
The city’s ordinance
currently states any permit for well development
must undergo a conditional use hearing before city
council where council has
the opportunity to conduct
fact-finding and make
their own determination.
Conditional use permits allows flexibility
within the zoning laws
and allows city council
discretion as a zoning ordinance cannot account
for every situation.

putting new things in it,”
said Leslie Neal, the veterans affairs director for Elk
County. “We just received
word that ATA [Area Transportation Authority] is going to be setting up shuttles
at the area senior centers
picking up senior citizens
and veterans for free, and a
reduced cost for others.”
Committee
members
have also reached out to individuals involved with the
initial war memorial ceremony and time capsule 25
years ago.
“We’ve tried to make
sure everyone who was part
of the original time capsule
[in 1990] committee, or
anyone having anything to
do with the memorial, that
they are part of this rededication ceremony,” Neal said.
“We figured there would be
a few of us around probably
still when we open the next
one [in 2040]. We had determined that we’d possibly do
a 50-year one but we wanted to set it up in hopes that
there would still be some
committee members surviving, that’s why we’ve stuck
to 25 years.”
County
commissioners on Tuesday adopted a
resolution to be placed in
the new time capsule next
weekend.
The resolution indicates
“a considerable debt of gratitude is owed to veterans of
Elk County and especially
to those veterans who sacrificed time and health for the
welfare of our nation.”
The document also pays
tribute to the “many families and individuals for the
maintenance and protection
of our nation in the past as
well as the future.”

The Daily Press
Company in ‘very early’ planning stages for new cell towers
By Joseph Bell
Daily Press Editor
RIDGWAY – Responding to rumors regarding
the possible installation
of additional cellphone
towers, including in the
more rural areas of the
county, Elk County Emergency Management Di-
rector Mike McAllister
confirmed Tuesday that
Verizon is in “very early
discussion and research
mode.”
“It was a very vague
and premature conversation, that’s the information I was getting, but I
was asked to get in touch
with Verizon and to see
what their status is as
there were rumors of additional cell towers coming
up in the county in different places,” he said. “The
information I did receive
from them is that they are
going to have discussions
with property owners for
the construction of several new towers.
“Verizon does not own
the towers, there are contractors that build the
towers and the cell companies have their equipment
on the towers. There are
discussions on constructing several new towers
and there are discussions
on locating equipment on
existing towers that are
already in the county.”
A concrete timetable
was unavailable, but
McAllister said activity
would likely not begin until 2017 at the “absolute
earliest, but probably after that fact.”
“It’s nothing that’s going to be popping up here
today, tomorrow or the
next day, but they are in
discussions with property
owners and other sites to
look at the continuation
and expansion of coverage
in the county,” McAllister
said. “It’s premature and
everything is very uncer-
back to March, and these
line items were among the
274 out of 401 line items
where the legislative budget and the governor’s
budget proposal agreed,”
Gabler said. “Gov. Wolf
took the unprecedented
step of vetoing the entire
budget when past governors have used their line
item veto power. We understand that there will
be disagreements but in
the meantime crises can
be avoided by funding
these things.
“That was exactly
what we did when we
called the House back
into session last Tuesday. The thought process
is that if the governor
has the authority to line
item veto individual line
items, then legislature
has the authority to line
item override as well.”
Gabler said he denies
any reports that legislators were there to “throw
the budget negotiations
out of whack.”
“With that being said,
why do these line items
have to be held up?” Gabler asked. “Unfortunately, one of my colleagues on
the floor had a moment of
brutal honesty, from Delaware County, this particular colleague pointed
out that he was opposed
to overriding these line
items because it would
provide the governor with
the leverage he needed to
achieve his agenda.
“When we were on the
topic of line item override
for these things, I was
thinking to myself, ‘How
terrible of a position are
we in where rapists and
domestic violence victims
and college students are
being neglected?’”
Gabler also cited a
recent meeting held in
Brookville with lawmakers and officials from
roughly 30 service providers.
“We wanted to hear
what problems they were
encountering to try to
use that information and
guide our processes as
well,” Gabler said. “We’re
looking into the possibility of introducing a stop
gap three-month funding
proposal, that’s another
option that might be out
there. We’re hearing that
the people not working
with the state, ones that
are being paid through
contracts while providing services, those are the
ones that are not receiving pay and there’s only
a period of time that you
can go, and now in September things haven’t
shut down yet but we’re
running out of time.”
There are only so
many missed payments,
Gabler said, before the
contractors can’t keep
people on their payrolls.
“I’m very upset by
the process that has got
us to this point where
agreed to items can’t be
appropriately handled,”
he said. “It’s important to
note that…what is the big
disagreement all about?
The governor’s budget
proposal came out in the
beginning of March proposing to increase taxes
by $5 billion this year
and when that tax plan
to raise that money was
brought to a vote on the
House floor, it failed by a
unanimous vote, zero to
193, yet Gov. Wolf continues to say that he wants
that budget. That is why
we had a full veto on June
30…I was very hopeful
between June 1 and June
30 that there was enough
time for both sides to get
a plan done.
“Unfortunately there
has been a real lack of engagement and it’s disappointing. We’ve been the
ones out there meeting
with the stakeholders and
with people in the community to really dig into
how these individual programs affect real people,
and unfortunately I think
there’s a view from the
administration and the
state Capitol that this is
just a chess game. When
that becomes the way you
look at it, then you see a
line item, not great prices, not quality, and that is
what is so important.”
Gabler described viable
solutions
being
brought to the negotiating table but said lawmakers “continue to run
into stonewalls.”
“I’ll continue to bring
solutions to the table and
that’s my commitment,”
he said.
Elk County Commissioner June Sorg said
commissioners
heard
from other service providers as well as the squeeze
gets tighter.
“We have letters from
other agencies as well,
and we spoke with Drug
and Alcohol on Monday,
and they’re in the same
boat as well scrambling
trying to find the funding and keep everything
afloat,” she said.
Elk County Commissioner Jan Kemmer said
that to state officials in
Harrisburg, “it may just
be a line item but on this
side there’s a face to that
line item.”
In response, letters
have been sent to Gabler
and Senator Joe Scarnati’s office asking for their
leadership to resolve the
budget impasse to assure
critical human services
programs.
“We appreciate the
letters and certainly all
the information that
county officials have and
continue to provide as frequently as possible on the
budget impasse and how
it affects the county,” Gabler said. “It’s very much
appreciated and I’d encourage you to also keep
in mind that that correspondence would also be
welcomed by the executive branch as well.”
See Towers, Page 5
Budget
Children and Youth Services for Elk County,
called the holdout a
“trickle-down effect” that
is interrupting the way
social service agencies do
business.
Sooner or later, they
may not be able to do
business at all.
“It’s really concerning
and to Elk County families, children, it’s concerning,” Baker said. “Not
having a budget passed,
we haven’t been able to
pay for providers who
are able to conduct our
counseling, classes and
children’s programs, so
all these wonderful programs that we have been
funding in the past are
not receiving payment
from us. There’s only so
long they can go.
“We’re also not paying for social providers as
well. I’m not holding my
breath that it’ll last too
much longer. For housing,
we have families and single moms and dads without housing for whatever
reason, and in the past
we’d be able to help them
but that’s not possible
now.”
Baker described the
situation as “frustrating”
and told elected officials
Tuesday morning that the
budget impasse “can’t go
on like this.”
“A lot of us are writing letters and I hope our
voices are heard,” she
said. “It’s very important
and I’m not sure people
realize how this all affects
us at the local level. It affects us here in Elk County, not just Harrisburg.”
Gabler agreed with
Baker’s concerns, specifically the difference in
the level of impact in Elk
County versus Harris-

“The last time we had
a budget impasse in 2009,
as a result of that there
was a court case with the
outcome being that state
workers would continue
to get paid [during a state
budget impasse],” Gabler
said. “Because of that, it’s
very quiet in Harrisburg,
people aren’t screaming.
What we are hearing in
the social service community is that people who
are our most vulnerable
population, those who are
most in need of these services, are the very people
who are being left behind
by this impasse and it’s
infuriating,
especially
with the agreements on
those line items.
“That’s the most disappointing thing, and in
order to get to an agreement, you have to focus
on what you agree on, and
then work on what you
disagree on.”
Gabler said it is widely recognized that the
governor and lawmakers
agreed to the line items
to fund human and social service organizations
and county departments
such as Children and
Youth Services, Alcohol
and Drug Abuse Services,
and CAPSEA [Citizens
Against Physical, Sexual
and Emotional Abuse].

Ensuring a Free
and Open Internet
There aren’t many
things we can take for
granted these days, but
some things really feel
as though they should be
a given. A free and open
Internet, for example.
Twenty years ago, it was
still a novelty for many of
us. But today it’s an essential part of how we live,
work and play. Modern
life without the freedom
to find the information we
need with relative ease is
almost unimaginable.
But that freedom could
be in jeopardy, thanks to
governments in countries
such as France, China,
Brazil and Argentina.
To understand why,
it’s important to know
that the Internet freedom
we enjoy comes in large
part because of the fact
that the United States
oversees a body known as
the Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and
Numbers. ICANN runs
the naming function of the
internet under a U.S. government contract with the
Department of Commerce.
So far, so good. ICANN
is the Internet administrator, so to speak, and the
U.S. has been ensuring
that it fully protects a free
and open Internet.
But the U.S. announced
last year that it wants to
end its oversight role, provided it can ensure that
the free Internet we all
enjoy isn’t damaged in the
transition.
So the U.S. insisted
that ICANN work with
the Internet community to
create an accountability
structure something that
would substitute for the
oversight role currently
performed by the Department of Commerce. And
ICANN has been working
toward such a model ever
since then, and even make
some good progress.
But some governments
– “a small, but vocal minority,” note experts Brett
Schaefer and Paul Rosenzweig -- are trying to take
advantage of this transition process to assert more
government control of the
Internet. At an ICANN
meeting in Paris this summer, they insisted that
governments should have
an “enhanced” role in running the Internet.
You don’t have to be an
expert in Internet policy to
know what happens when
government has an “enhanced” role in anything.
Quality declines, freedom
erodes, and any information that isn’t stamped
“approved” becomes hard
to get.
Think the idea of
government control is
a bogeyman? Consider
“right to be forgotten”
rules. As regulation expert
James Gattuso recently
wrote in a Wall Street
Journal op-ed, they give
European Union residents
the right to request that
Internet search engines
remove links that appear
in searches for their own
names.
In June, France’s
Commission Nationale
de l’Informatique et des
Libertés ordered Google
to apply “right-to-beforgotten” globally. Google
refused, but what if they
are forced to comply? That
would censor your Internet searches and impinge
on your freedom. More
importantly, it shows the
kind of thing that happens
when governments take a
greater hand in controlling
the Internet.
The U.S., along with
many other countries,
has opposed the idea of
changing the way ICANN
currently does business
and giving government a
greater role. “But the possibility remains that the
vocal minority of governments may force ICANN
to seriously consider
giving them enhanced
authority over ICANN
decisions and, by extension, in Internet governance,” writes Schaefer
and Rosenzweig.
“That is a red line that
must not be crossed,” they
add. “The U.S. government should reject out
of hand any transition
proposal that grants governments more influence
over ICANN than they
currently possess.”
To ensure that this
doesn’t happen, Congress
needs to be involved. Some
lawmakers realize this,
which is why the House
passed the DOTCOM Act
(currently pending in the
Senate), which would require the Obama administration to give Congress 30
legislative days to review
any proposal it approves
on this matter before it is
implemented.
U.S. leverage is crucial.
However it’s accomplished,
Congress needs to put itself in a position to reject a
bad deal. The alternative
-- giving more authority
to authoritarian countries
that see the Internet as
something to be controlled
for government purposes
-- is unthinkable.

Guest Commentary
Can the Republican Party Deal With Iran?
Ten weeks before the
first U.S.-Soviet summit
ever held in Moscow, in
May 1972, North Vietnam,
with Soviet-supplied armor
and artillery, crossed the
DMZ in an all-out offensive
to overrun the South.
President Nixon responded with air and naval
strikes on the North.
Yet Nixon went to Moscow and signed the first
strategic arms agreement
of the Cold War. He did not
let Soviet-backed aggression against an ally prevent
him from signing a SALT
agreement he believed was
in the vital interests of the
United States.
Three months earlier,
Nixon had gone to Peking
to toast Mao Zedong, whose
regime was also aiding Hanoi, and which, two decades
before, had been killing GIs
in the thousands in Korea.
The state is a cold monster, said Gen. De Gaulle.
Which brings us to Iran.
Should we accept a deal,
with a regime as abhorrent
as the Ayatollah's, that
would deny that regime a
nuclear weapon for 10 to 15
years?
For many of the moral
arguments against such
a deal also applied to the
Soviet Union and Mao's
China in the Nixon-Kissinger era.
What are Iran's crimes
against America?
Tehran held 52 U.S. hostages for the last 444 days
of the Carter presidency.
Iran's allies in Lebanon
were behind the bombing
of the Marine barracks in
Beirut where 241 Ameri-
cans perished. Iran is said
to have been behind the
terror attack on Khobar
Towers in Riyadh in 1996
that killed 19 Americans.
Iran provided IEDs to
Shiite militias who killed
hundreds of Americans in
the Iraq war and wounded
and maimed many more.
From their side, Iranians
say the CIA overthrew a
democratic government
in Tehran in 1953, and
imposed upon them the dictatorship of the Shah for a
quarter century. Moreover,
the U.S., in the Iran-Iraq
war in the Reagan era,
helped Iraq's army target
Iranian forces, not only
with conventional weapons
but poison gas.
There is good cause for
bad blood between us.
Yet, compared to Mao's
nuclear-armed China in the
madness of the Cultural
Revolution in 1972, and
Leonid Brezhnev's USSR,
Iran, as a strategic threat
to the United States, is not
even a 97-pound weakling.
The U.S. economy is 40
times as large as Iran's,
and we spend 40 times as
much on defense. We have
thousands of nuclear weapons. Iran has yet to produce
an ounce of weapons-grade
uranium. Downing Iran's
air force and sinking her
surface ships and submarines would be a few weeks'
work for the U.S. Navy and
Air Force.
This is not to suggest a
war with Iran would be a
cakewalk. We could expect
Iran's fleets of fast missile
boats to wreak havoc in
the Gulf, closing it down to
oil tankers, and terrorist
attacks on U.S. personnel
in Baghdad's Green Zone,
Beirut and perhaps on U.S.
soil.
In an all-out U.S.-Iran
war, Iran could break
apart, with ethnic minorities like Kurds, Azeris and
Baluch seeking to get out
from under Persian rule,
as Libya, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan have
all broken down to some
degree along tribal and
sectarian lines.
That would deepen the
disaster for us and the
Middle East.
On the other side of the
balance sheet, are there
major interests that the
U.S. and Iran share, places
where we can find common
ground?
Surely, the first is the
avoidance of war, which
would further destabilize
the Mideast, be a disaster
for the world economy, and
leave Iran a disintegrating
wreck. Another common
interest is in a secure and
open Persian Gulf, where
oil can flow freely to the
West.
Third, Iran is now a
critical ally of a Baghdad
regime in whose survival we, too, have a stake.
Fourth, Iran is also critical
to the survival of the Syrian regime and preventing
ISIS and al-Nusra Front
from bringing down Bashar
Assad and taking Damascus.
We have enemies in common.
Moreover, as the largest
Shiite nation in the Middle
East, and most populous
nation in the Persian Gulf,
Iran, absent a ruinous
war, is going to become a
regional power. When Bush
43 smashed Iran's great
rival, overthrew the regime
of Saddam Hussein, then
disbanded the Sunni-led
Iraqi army, "W" guaranteed
it.
This month, a Republican Congress will vote to
reject the Iranian nuclear
deal that Europe, Russia,
China and the Gulf Arabs
regard as done. While the
GOP may muster the votes
to reject it, they lack the
votes to override an Obama
veto of their rejection.
And if and when the
GOP goes down to defeat,
they ought to ask themselves: Do they wish to accept and enforce the terms
that were negotiated? Or
do they wish to cry foul,
demand a new deal, and
start voting new sanctions
on Iran that the world will
ignore and that will isolate
their own country?
How the GOP handles
its coming defeat will tell
us whether they have
learned from the failures of
Bush and can now run the
country.

Today in History
Today is Wednesday,
September 2, the 245th day
of 2015. There are 120 days
left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On September 2, 1945,
Japan formally surrendered in ceremonies aboard
the USS Missouri in Tokyo
Bay, ending World War II.
On this date:
In 1666, the Great Fire
of London broke out.
In 1789, the United
States Treasury Department was established.
In 1864, during the Civil
War, Union Gen. William T.
Sherman's forces occupied
Atlanta.
In 1901, Vice President
Theodore Roosevelt offered
the advice, "Speak softly
and carry a big stick" in a
speech at the Minnesota
State Fair.
In 1924, the Rudolf
Friml operetta "Rose Marie" opened on Broadway.
In 1935, a Labor Day
hurricane slammed into
the Florida Keys, claiming
more than 400 lives.
In 1945, Ho Chi Minh
declared Vietnam an independent republic. (Ho died
on this date in 1969.)
In 1963, Alabama Gov.
George C. Wallace prevented the integration of
Tuskegee High School by
encircling the building with
state troopers. "The CBS
Evening News" with Walter Cronkite was length-
ened from 15 to 30 minutes, becoming network
television's first half-hour
nightly newscast.
In 1969, in what some regard as the birth of the Internet, two connected computers at the University
of California, Los Angeles,
passed test data through a
15-foot cable.
In 1972, Dave Wottle of
the United States won the
men's 800-meter race at
the Munich Summer Olympics.
In 1986, a judge in Los
Angeles sentenced Cathy
Evelyn Smith to three
years in prison for involuntary manslaughter for
her role in the 1982 drug
overdose death of comedian John Belushi. (Smith
served 18 months.)
In 1998, a Swissair MD11 jetliner crashed off Nova
Scotia, killing all 229 people aboard.
Ten years ago: A National
Guard convoy packed with
food, water and medicine
rolled into New Orleans
four days after Hurricane
Katrina. Scorched by criticism about sluggish federal
help, President George W.
Bush toured the Gulf Coast
and met with state and
local officials, including
New Orleans Mayor Ray
Nagin; at one point, Bush
praised FEMA Director Michael Brown, telling him,
"Brownie, you're doing a
heck of a job." During a live
TV benefit concert, rapper Kanye West went offscript to sharply criticize
President Bush, saying he
"doesn't care about black
people." The Labor Department reported the August
unemployment rate was
4.9 percent, a four-year low.
Machinists at Boeing Co.
went on a nearly monthlong strike. Actor Bob Denver, 70, died in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
One year ago: Islamic
State group extremists
released a video showing
the beheading of American journalist Steven Sotloff, and warned President
Barack Obama against
further U.S. airstrikes on
the group. Apple said that
hackers had obtained nude
photos of actress Jennifer
Lawrence and other female
celebrities by pilfering images from individual accounts rather than through
a broader attack on the
company's services.

Auditor general: School audits
will reflect budget impasse
HARRISBURG (AP)
— Pennsylvania audits
of its school districts will
highlight unscheduled
expenses resulting from
the state government’s
budget impasse now in
its third month, Auditor General Eugene DePasquale said Tuesday.
DePasquale,
the
state’s
elected
fiscal
watchdog, cited a survey
that showed many school
districts are at least considering tapping their
reserves, delaying vendor payments or taking
out short-term loans as
the 2015-16 school year
begins with state subsidies frozen.
The survey by the
Pennsylvania Association of School Business
Officials, based on responses from about onethird of the state’s 500
school districts, was released last week.
A new state budget was due July 1. But
Republicans who control the Legislature and
Democratic Gov. Tom
Wolf remain at odds over
issues including taxes,
education
spending,
public pensions and liquor sales.
“It is somewhat ironic that the fight over
more funding for education is actually costing
school districts money,”
DePasquale said.
DePasquale, a Democrat, said auditors will
begin collecting information about interest
expenses, penalties for
late payments and other
costs stemming from the
stalemate. He said he
expects to complete as
many as 50 audits this
fall, and eventually expects to compile the information from all districts. Over the course of
the audits, partial totals
will be publicized to keep
the public informed, he
said.
tain, but they are looking
into it.”
Elk County Commissioner June Sorg said it
was important to stay on
top of the subject, particularly due to the recent death of 39-year-old
Russell Davis of Beaver
County. He was reportedly picking up firewood
at a family camp in Medix
Run in mid-July when he
was bitten on the lower
leg by a rattlesnake. Lacking cellphone service and
knowledge of the nearest
hospital, Davis did not get
to a medical facility for at
least 45 minutes after the
bite occurred, if not longer.
“It’s something that
we want to check into
regularly, especially with
concerns from the Benezette area with the recent
death and the cell service,
it’s important for emergencies and I know fire departments have been looking at different options as
well,” Sorg said. “They’re
recording 400,000 people
coming to the Benezette
area each year in that
small little village with
no cell service. Some are
quite happy that there is
no cell service but in an
emergency situation, it’s
very important.”
Issue
of Aug. 3, which he had
until Aug. 10 to withdraw
from candidacy,” Frey
said. “When he withdrew
from candidacy, that falls
back to the Republican
Party for what they call
‘substitute
nomination.’
They substituted an individual, a Republican according to their bylaws,
Therese Rosenfeld, to replace Eric Johnston on the
November ballot.
“[Johnston] will not be
on the ballot but [Rosenfeld] will be listed on the
ballot as the Republican
candidate according to
election code and the Republican party bylaws.”
Johnston received 18
votes from the Caledonia
precinct and 41 votes in
Weedville for a Jay Township total of 59 votes.
Francis R. Gustafson is
listed as receiving 12 votes
in Caledonia and 22 votes
in Weedville for a total of
34.
Election code dictates
that the second-highest
vote-getter is not automatically placed on the ballot.
“It does not go to the
next highest vote-getter

Obese at 50? Midlife weight may
affect when Alzheimer’s hits
By Lauran Neergaard
AP Medical Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) —
One more reason to watch
the waistline: New research
says people’s weight in
middle age may influence
not just whether they go on
to develop Alzheimer’s disease, but when.
Obesity in midlife has
long been suspected of
increasing the risk of Alzheimer’s. Researchers at
the National Institutes of
Health took a closer look
and reported Tuesday that
being overweight or obese
at age 50 may affect the age,
years later, when Alzheimer’s strikes. Among those
who eventually got sick,
more midlife pounds meant
an earlier onset of disease.
It will take larger studies to prove if the flip side is
true — that keeping trim
during middle age might
stall later-in-life Alzheimer’s. But it probably won’t
hurt.
“Maintaining a healthy
BMI at midlife is likely to
have long-lasting protective
effects,” said Dr. Madhav
Thambisetty of NIH’s National Institute on Aging,
who led the study reported
in the journal Molecular
Psychiatry.
About 5 million people
in the U.S. are living with
Alzheimer’s, a number expected to more than double
by 2050, barring a medical
breakthrough, as the population ages.
Alzheimer’s starts quietly ravaging the brain
more than a decade before
symptoms appear. With a
cure so far elusive, researchers are hunting ways to at
least delay the disease, and
lifestyle changes are among
the possible options.
To explore obesity’s effects, Thambisetty’s team
turned to the Baltimore
Longitudinal Study of Aging, one of the longestrunning projects to track
what happens to healthy
people as they get older.
They checked the records
of nearly 1,400 participants
who had undergone regular
cognitive testing every year
or two for about 14 years;
142 of them developed Alzheimer’s.
The
researchers
checked how much those Alzheimer’s patients weighed
when they were 50 and still
cognitively healthy. They
tracked BMI, or body mass
index, a measure of weight
to height. Every step up
on the BMI chart predicted that when Alzheimer’s
eventually struck, it would
be 6½ months sooner.
In other words, among
this group of Alzheimer’s
patients, someone who had
been obese — a BMI of 30
— during middle age on average had their dementia
strike about a year earlier
than someone whose midlife
BMI was 28, in the overweight range, Thambisetty
explained.
The threshold for being
overweight is a BMI of 25.
The Alzheimer’s study
didn’t track whether the
patients’ BMI fluctuated before or after age 50. There’s
no way to know if losing
pounds after that age made
a difference in dementia
risk, although a healthy
weight is recommended for
many other reasons.

The Daily Press
Steelers bumpy preseason leaves plenty of questions
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Oh,
for the days of late July, when
the biggest question surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers was
whether Antonio Brown’s custom-wrapped Rolls Royce would
avoid the occasional pothole at
Saint Vincent College.
A month later and with a
visit to the Super Bowl champions looming barely a week
away, the picture is far more
complicated.
The budding star wide receiver is suspended for a month
for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. The most
accurate kicker in franchise
history is out for the season.
The guy who came in to replace
him is done too. The starting
safeties can’t seem to find the
field at the same time. The AllPro center’s left ankle is busted. And the new-look defense is
struggling with some old-look
problems, like giving up chunks
of yardage to nondescript opponents.
While there is hardly a sense
of panic heading into Thursday
night’s exhibition finale against
Carolina, Pittsburgh’s extended
camp can’t end quickly enough.
“It’s still just a preseason
game, so the biggest thing is to
get through it healthy and get
through the other end,” linebacker James Harrison said.
“I’m not concerned with the way
we played or who got how many
reps. Once the season begins,
all that stuff will get sorted
out.”
Maybe, but there’s still
plenty for coach Mike Tomlin to
sort through as the team tries
to figure out which 53 players
to take to New England next
week.
One Steeler that will not be
on the plane is Martavis Bryant, who will miss the first four
games for running afoul of the
league’s drug policy. The suspension became official on Monday, though Tomlin said the
team was aware of the possibility “for some time.”
Bryant can join his teammates for meetings and film
sessions but is barred from participating or watching practice
during the suspension, though
Tomlin believes that is the least
of the 23-year-old’s problems.
“He’s got issues that he’s
dealing with that are bigger
than football,” Tomlin said.
Bryant stressed he is “embarrassed” by his actions but
declined to get specific on how
many tests he failed and when
the trouble began.
“This is a new challenge
that came my way, and I’ve just
got to own up to my challenge,
face it and overcome it,” Bryant
said.
Veteran Darrius HeywardBey will be given the first crack
at moving up the depth chart
while Bryant sits, most likely
as the No. 3 receiver behind
Antonio Brown and Markus
Wheaton. Heyward-Bey caught
all of three passes during his
first season with the Steelers
in 2014, but was an invaluable
presence on special teams and
is a willing blocker on the outside. Spending some time in the
offseason with quarterback Ben
Roethlisberger and the rest of
the receiving corps during an
informal off camp only helped.
“He is playing with a lot
of confidence,” Roethlisberger
said. “I think he will step up
and we will be just fine.”
It’s a mantra echoed
throughout the locker room,
even with safeties Mike Mitchell and Shamarko Thomas
spending most of July and August watching the other limited by injuries. They’ve barely
been between the lines when it
counts during the preseason,
with Mitchell slowed by hamstring and ankle problems. Not

exactly the best way to implement a cover two defense that
relies heavily on proper communication between the two guys
at the back.
Mitchell,
who
played
through a torn groin most of last
season, is hardly concerned. He
and Thomas were on the field
for every snap during organized
team activities and training
camp. That repetition will pay
off eventually.
“We understand what each
other likes to do, and we try
to accentuate those things
while we’re out there together,”
Mitchell said. “But it’s not rocket science, by any means.”
Neither, it seems, is kicking in the tricky winds at Heinz
Field. Shaun Suisham mastered it as well as anyone over
the last five seasons, making
more than 90 percent of his attempts in four of five years. He
tore ligaments in his knee in
the Hall of Fame game against
Minnesota and Garrett Hartley
ripped up his right hamstring
last week against Buffalo, leaving the Steelers to send a sixthround pick to Jacksonville for
Josh Scobee, who spent most of
his 11 seasons in the league as a
good kicker on a bad team. That’s
not the case in Pittsburgh.
“Coach Tomlin talks about
winning a championship and to
hear those things being said is
kind of a shock to me because of
where we were in Jacksonville
the last seven years was not very
good,” Scobee said. “It’s not fun
to lose game after game after
game after game.”
Lady Crusader tennis defeats Punxsutawney hands Lady
Bradford 5-2 Monday
Dutch tennis 5-2 setback
By Becky Polaski
Staff Writer
The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader tennis
team added another win
to their record with a 5-2
victory over Bradford on
Monday afternoon at the
University of Pittsburgh
at Bradford’s tennis facility.
“Pitt Bradford’s tennis facility was the location of another great tennis match between two
evenly balanced squads,”
said ECC head coach Pete
Meier. “Bradford’s roster
has fewer players this
year but their team plays
outstanding tennis and today they showed just how
good of a team they have.”
“The sun was hot, the
temperature was in the
mid-80s, the humidity was
high, and both teams provided the fans with some
truly exceptional tennis,”
Meier added. “It was an
exciting day of tennis involving a lot of incredibly
nice young ladies on both
squads, and everyone who
was there was treated to
something truly special.”
The team’s split the
singles matches, while the
Lady Crusaders won all
three doubles matches.
At first singles Sophie
Viglione defeated Mandy
Droney 6-2, 6-2.
“Sophie Viglione was
the first to put a win on
the scoreboard for us as
she played an excellent
match in her first singles
win,” Meier said.
At second singles,
Kali Ann Kirst gave ECC
another victory as she de-
feated Katelyn Wells 7-5,
6-4.
“Kali Ann Kirst doubled the team score when
she won at second singles,” Meier said.
Bradford’s
Ashley
Stoltz defeated Emily
Miller 7-5, 7-5 at third singles, and the Lady Owls’
Jen Ruffner defeated Maria Hoh 7-5, 5-7, (10-4) at
fourth singles.
“Emily Miller and Maria Hoh each played their
best tennis of the season
as both of our girls battled
more experienced opponents in two very exciting
singles matches,” Meier
said.
At first doubles, Kirst
and Viglione teamed up to
defeat Drowney and Ellexus Weaver 9-8 (7-3).
“Sophie
and
Kali
teamed up to play an outstanding match at first
doubles. It seemed like
their match was tied at
least a thousand times
and in the end overtime
was needed to decide the
outcome,” Meier said.
At second doubles,
Hoh and Miller teamed up
to beat Jen Ruffner and
Wells 8-5.
“Emily and Mariah
teamed up to play fantastic tennis and come away
with a hard fought win
at second doubles,” Meier
said.
At third doubles, the
ECC duo of Jenna Minard
and Emma Coppolo won
8-2 over Jeana Ruffner
and Isis Wilcox.
“Our younger players
continue to improve and
proof of that came today

Meier said.
Meier noted that the
team’s annual stop at
Bradford’s Dairy Queen
was a perfect end to a wonderful day of tennis.
“We have our fourth
match of the season, we
have a young squad, we’re

Steady in face of Kyrgios’
‘antics,’ Murray wins at US Open
NEW YORK (AP) —
Nick Kyrgios does what he
wants and says what he
wants on a tennis court,
seemingly no matter the
ramifications, and amid
all the near-napping, cursing and racket smashing,
he troubled Andy Murray
for moments at the U.S.
Open.
Only for brief moments, though.
In the tournament’s
most-anticipated
firstround matchup, the No.
3-seeded Murray hit 18
aces, saved 11 of 14 break
points and, perhaps most
importantly, stayed steady
in the face of Kyrgios’ various distractions, putting
together a 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 6-1
victory Tuesday night.
This was Kyrgios’ first
match since he was essentially put on probation by
the ATP, with the threat of
a 28-day suspension and
$25,000 fine if he misbehaves at one of the tour’s
sanctioned events over the
next six months. Those
parameters don’t apply at
the U.S. Open, however,
because Grand Slam tournaments are sanctioned
by the International Tennis Federation.
That stemmed from
some trash-talking last
month against Stan Wawrinka in Montreal, where
a courtside microphone
picked up Kyrgios saying
that his pal, Australian
pro Thanasi Kokkinakis,
had been with Wawrinka’s
girlfriend. Kyrgios was
fined a total of $12,500 the
next day by the ATP.
Nothing of that sort
happened Tuesday, but
Kyrgios was not exactly
concerned with containing
himself.
Oddly,
he
leaned
all the way back in his
changeover chair during
breaks, closing his eyes
and resting against his
towel or clutching it like
a kid’s blanket, looking
as if about to doze off for
a nap. He spiked his racket against the court and
later whacked it against a
wall behind the baseline.
He was given a warning
by chair umpire Carlos
Ramos for swearing too
loudly. He complained
to Ramos that spectators were being allowed
to wander to their seats
during a game. He won
a point with the help of a
shot between his legs. He
whiffed on a leaping overhead attempt.
Boris Becker, a sixtime major champion as
a player and now No. 1
Novak Djokovic’s coach,
sat courtside during the
match. In an on-air interview during ESPN’s
broadcast, Becker said
Kyrgios could stand to
talk a little less and
“should be famous for his
on-court performance and
not his antics.”
The whole Montreal
episode has been the talk
of tennis over the past
few weeks, and Murray
was asked to weigh in
before facing Kyrgios, a
20-year-old
Australian
who is ranked 37th and is
talented enough to have
stunned Rafael Nadal at
Wimbledon last year and
beaten Roger Federer this
year.

Penn State coach unsure if
tight end Breneman will play
STATE
COLLEGE
(AP) — Penn State coach
James Franklin said Tuesday he is unsure if tight
end Adam Breneman will
be able to play this season
because of an unspecified
injury.
Breneman was not
in pads at a team practice open to reporters last
week and instead worked
with strength and conditioning coach Dwight Galt.
Franklin, who does not
usually announce or address injuries unless they
are season ending, did not
specify Breneman’s injury.
“There’s no doubt we’d
love to have Adam available for this week,” Franklin said. “And you’d love to
have his playmaking abilities as well as his maturity. He’s one of the more
positive guys in our program and one of the more
natural leaders.”
When asked if he expected Breneman back
this season, Franklin said
bluntly: “I don’t know.”
The
uncertainty
dampens
expectations
that Breneman would
take on a bigger role in the
Nittany Lions offense this
season. Penn State opens
at Temple on Saturday.
But Franklin is confident Penn State has
enough players to support
quarterback
Christian
Hackenberg. The junior
quarterback was sacked
44 times last season and
Penn
State’s
running
game was ranked 120th in
the country behind an inexperienced offensive line.
Without
Breneman,
Penn State still has a handful of options for Hackenberg to throw to. The Nittany Lions will also field an
offensive line that appears
much more stable than the
revolving cast of players
used there in 2014.
“I feel much better
about it,” Franklin said.
“And I see Christian so
much more relaxed and so
much more confident right
now as a player and as a
leader because of that.”
And Hackenberg has
grown into his captaincy
nicely, Franklin said.
The quarterback has
been directing his younger teammates — most of
them in their first and
second seasons — at every
practice open to reporters.
Penn State has 12 players
listed among the starters
and second-stringers who
have either never played
or made their debuts last
season. Five of them are
wide receivers who should
help replace Breneman’s
targets early.
Second-year wideouts
Chris Godwin and DaeSean Hamilton are expected
to start on Saturday with
DeAndre Thompkins expected to make his debut in the slot. Hamilton
led the Big Ten with 82
catches. Brandon Polk also
emerged in training camp.
“It’s one of those things
where you have to rely on
each other,” Hackeberg
said. “I think although we
have some younger guys,
those guys are experienced
and played last year. It’s
a very experienced group
from that standpoint so
I think we’ll be ready to
roll.”
Even without a tight
end many of the coaches
thought could develop into
the receiving threat and
strong blocker Franklin
covets.
“He’s had some issues
since he’s been at Penn
State but we’re supporting
him academically where
he’s killing it,” Franklin
said of Breneman. “Adam’s
doing extremely well (in
the classroom).”
Breneman redshirted
last season after suffering
a left knee injury in spring
practice and hasn’t played
since the 2013 season finale at Wisconsin.
A coveted recruit for
Bill O’Brien in 2013, Breneman caught 15 passes
for 186 yards and three
touchdowns as a freshman.
Over the final four games,
Breneman and Hackenberg started to develop
better chemistry and eight
of Breneman’s catches and
all three of his touchdowns
came over the final four
games.
Without
Breneman,
Penn State will turn to a
host of tight ends vying for
reps in an offense stocked
with young, unproven talent.
Kyle Carter returns after catching 16 passes for
153 yards and a touchdown
in 2014. Mike Gesicki and
Brent Wilkerson are also
back with Gesicki, who
played in 12 games last
season, penciled in as the
starter
“I think you’d like to
have four but we do have
three we feel pretty good
about,” Franklin said.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX®
COPYRIGHT 2001 CREATORS SINDICATE, INC.
Dear Annie: After 14 years
of marriage, my husband, “Ron,”
left me for another woman. Here’s
how it happened: For several years,
friends had dinner with us once a
week. One day, they brought along
“Fran,” a recently widowed woman
they took under their wing. Ron initially told me he found her vulgar,
overweight, unattractive and heavily tattooed. Fran talked nonstop
about herself, bragging about her
time in a biker club where she enjoyed “getting wasted on drugs and
having random sex,” a lifestyle she
wanted to get back into.
Within weeks, Ron changed
his tune about Fran. He decided
she was “cool,” and he, too, wanted
a life that included drugs and random sex. He and Fran began to text
and call each other daily, often right
in front of me. Ron began to find
fault with everything I said or did,
and criticized me to others. He even
assaulted me physically and then
stopped speaking to me for months.
Finally, he left and moved in with
Fran.
Annie, I did everything for
Ron. I helped support us with my
full-time job while doing all the
cooking and cleaning. Our sex life
was great. I kept myself slim and
attractive.
Nearly a year after Ron left,
he begged me for forgiveness, and
I agreed to let him come home provided he got into anger management counseling. I also told him if
he ever assaulted me verbally or
physically again, I would terminate
the marriage. With counseling, Ron
became a different man, loving and
supportive, and very apologetic, but
to this day, he has been unable to
tell me what he found so provoca-
tive about Fran, a woman he now
says he abhors.
Why would a man leave a loving relationship for one that is so
destructive? If any of the men in
your reading audience have done
this, could they tell me why? And
were they happy? -- Waiting for Answers
Dear Waiting: We don’t believe
Fran was the attraction. We think
it was the promise of her lifestyle
that he found fascinating, exciting
and freeing, but it turned out to be
something much less appealing in
practice. We are glad Ron has become a better husband, and if our
readers have more to say, we’ll be
happy to print it.
Dear Annie: What a kind ges-
ture “Heartbroken Brother-in-Law”
did by ordering vases of his wife’s
ashes to be given to his wife’s sisters. It’s a shame they thought it
was in poor taste and now the relationship is damaged.
When my sister died a few
years ago, we didn’t know this was
an option. Her son took the urn
back to his home state. He didn’t do
this selfishly, of course, but all of us
who loved her would have been so
grateful to have had that remembrance. Please tell “Heartbroken”
that he was indeed thoughtful and
kind. -- Louisville, Ky
Dear Louisville: Several readers suggested the sisters may have
had religious reasons to reject the
cremains, but we think a brother-
in-law of 60 years would know
whether this was the case. We
hope their relationship has been
repaired.

CROSSWORD By Eugene Sheffer
For Thursday, Sept. 3, 2015
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Financial disputes with someone
might occur today. This could relate to a
health issue you have, or it might be directly related to your job and a co-worker.
Be cool.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
Heated discussions with a family
member might take place today. Don’t get
your belly in a rash; this is temporary. This
tension will pass by nightfall.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
If you are unhappy, this feeling
within you will make you short-tempered
with others, especially neighbors and relatives. Be aware of this.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Your dealings with a female friend
could be challenging today. Don’t get hung
up on who is right or wrong, or who is winning or losing. Mellow out.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Relations with authority figures
(parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the
police) are tense today. You might not like
what they say. They might not like what
you say. Don’t do anything that you will
later regret.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Avoid controversial subjects like
politics, religion and racial issues today, because you will only end up in an argument.
People are both feisty and extra-sensitive.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Disputes about shared property, inheritances or anything you own jointly with
others might take place today. Think about
your long-term objective. Don’t get hung
up on petty details.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
The Moon is opposite your sign
today, which means you have to compromise with others. Unfortunately, you might
be at odds with your boss or a parent. Chill
out.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Disputes with co-workers are likely
today. Knowing this ahead of time, demonstrate grace under pressure. Don’t let
anyone get under your skin.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Be patient with children today. Likewise, be patient with romantic partners,
because conflict between the Moon and
Mars makes people argumentative. Yikes!
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Avoid family dramas today. You
can do this by being patient or steering
clear of someone if you know an argument
is brewing. Do what you can to keep the
peace.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
At some point today, you will give
someone a piece of your mind. You will say
what you mean and mean what you say.
YOU BORN TODAY You often
have to play a role in life, whether you
choose to or not. Sometimes this is because you are physically attractive and
people ignore your other qualities. In
fact, you are multitalented. This year your
success lies with others. People will benefit you. Therefore, make friends and join
clubs and organizations. Help others, because you also will be helping yourself.
Birthdate of: Rita Volk, actress;
Garrett Hedlund, actor; Diane de Poitiers,
16th-century French courtier.

Wolf administration wraps up
Wolf tries new budget talks
overhaul of Medicaid benefits
By Marc Levy
Associated Press
HARRISBURG (AP)
— The Wolf administration said Tuesday that it
had completed the transfer of more than 1 million
adult Medicaid enrollees
into a single, new benefits package it had created as the program expands to record numbers
under the 2010 federal
health care law.
The process that the
Human Services Department finished included
the dismantling of changes that Gov. Tom Wolf ’s
predecessor had sought
to make to Medicaid coverage as part of Pennsylvania’s embrace of the
Medicaid expansion.
As of June 30, there
were almost 2.6 million children and adults
enrolled in Medicaid in
Pennsylvania. Enrollees
now include more than
400,000 who joined under the broader income
eligibility guidelines that
took effect Jan. 1 under
the federal law, according
to the department.
Human Services Secretary Ted Dallas said
the agency is working
to advertise the broader
eligibility guidelines to
people who are eligible,
but have not yet enrolled.
The department is on
course to reach its projection of 605,000 enrollees
under the expanded eligibility guidelines, perhaps
next year, Dallas said.
Dallas did not find
that the state’s ranks of
physicians or hospitals
have been overwhelmed
by the influx of newly
insured people seeking
care, he said.
The new benefits
package is similar to the
one enrollees had last
year.
Former Gov. Tom Corbett had tried to create
three different benefits
programs starting Jan.
1, in conjunction with his
administration’s expansion of Medicaid, with
conditions granted by the
federal government.
However, the federal
government did not approve all of the benefits
changes Corbett’s administration had sought before Wolf took office and
put a stop to them.

Tuesday in the Pennsylvania Lottery:

Advocates for the poor
had complained that Corbett’s plan was administratively burdensome,
confusing to enrollees
and unnecessarily stingy
with benefits.
Meanwhile, some enrollees had struggled to
get coverage for dialysis,
mental health counseling
or addiction treatment,
they said. The benefits
program designed by the
Wolf administration includes coverage for dialysis and wider behavioral
health networks, they
said.
The state has thus far
saved money in the deal,
since more than $600 million in costs to cover certain Medicaid enrollees
has shifted from the state
to the federal government, Dallas said.
The federal government is footing 100 percent of the cost of new
enrollees through 2016.
After that, its share of
the bill shrinks to 90 percent over several years
and the state picks up the
rest.

tactic: smaller, quiet meetings
By Marc Levy
Associated Press
HARRISBURG
(AP)
— Gov. Tom Wolf is shifting strategy as a state government budget stalemate
stretches into a third month,
abandoning heavily attended meetings with lawmakers and aides in the Capitol
in favor of smaller, more private meetings without staff.
Wolf held private meetings Tuesday in his official
residence with top Republican lawmakers, including Senate Majority Leader
Jake Corman and House
Majority Leader Dave Reed.
“The path that negotiations have been on have
not been productive,” Wolf’s
spokesman Jeff Sheridan
said. “I think there’s been
a lot of people in the room,
a lot going on outside the
room.”
Some of Wolf’s Capitol
meetings had been attended
by a dozen lawmakers and
dozens of aides to both the
governor and lawmakers.
The meetings tended to be
short, with little progress
reported.
Reporters waited outside those meetings for them
to break up. Occasionally,
the public comments made
by Wolf or lawmakers as
they left were sharply critical about their negotiating
partner.
“I think the governor is
really trying hard to get a
final budget and he’s trying
a different tactic,” Sheridan
said.
Corman’s and Wolf’s
offices did not give details
about Tuesday’s meetings.
Reed spokesman Steve
Miskin said no agreements
or proposals were made, and
he did not believe that Wolf
gave the Republicans an answer on their two-week-old
offer.
The offer — to meet
a key demand of Wolf’s to
boost public school aid, even
if it requires a tax increase
— came with the condition
