SEE PAGE 9 smdailypress.com No. 282 Woman facing charges in alleged stabbing By Joseph Bell Daily Press Editor A Weedville woman is facing charges stemming from an alleged stabbing incident reported to have occurred early Saturday morning at a River Road residence in the village of Caledonia. According to police, Cody Allen Moore reported to police that he was stabbed multiple times by Rosalind Amanda Gursky, 22, of 2885 River Rd., Weedville in the early morning hours of Saturday, Jan. 9. Moore related to police that he was notified by a witness that his son “had been abused in the residence of his ex-girlfriend, the accused, by her current live-in boyfriend.” The boyfriend is said to have “thrown the child across the room and off of a wall,” according to the affidavit of probable cause. Moore said he arrived at the River Road residence at approximately 12:30 a.m. Saturday morning and “knocked on the door three or four times” before opening the door slightly and yelling inside “attempting to get a response.” A male reportedly asked “who is it?” and Moore reportedly identified himself, and stated that he was at the residence to pick up his son. Moore reported that the livein boyfriend said he was not permitted to retrieve his twoyear-old son. Moore entered the residence and proceeded to the second floor where he reportedly got into a physical altercation with the live-in boyfriend. Moore stated he was able to get away from him and entered the bedroom where Gursky reportedly had the child. Moore reported that he was removing the child from the “abusive situation” and began to collect the child and “his things.” Gursky then reportedly retrieved a knife and advised that Moore “was not leaving the residence,” telling him “I will kill you before I let you leave.” Police say Moore advised Gursky to “put the knife down” and “picked up the child and left the bedroom with him in his arms.” Moore reportedly started See Stabbing, Page 3 Wage schedule for city employees approved By Amy Cherry Staff Writer Photo submitted Pictured presenting the items and money collected are eighth graders Emily Wolfe, Bailey Bauer, Gabe Kear, Lauryn Dippold and Grace Keyes with CAPSEA representative Tracy Ross. Eighth graders donate to local organization for Advent service project This year, the eighth grade class at St. Marys Catholic Middle School teamed up with CAPSEA (Citizens Against Physical, Sexual and Emotional Abuse) to help those in great need during the Christmas season. The students as well as the teachers wanted to make this Advent season special by giving some of the people in the Elk County area a chance at a new begin- ning. “The eighth graders decided on a service project to help others because that is what Christmas is all about,” said eighth grader Ellie Fledderman. “That’s what we have been learning all these years in our religion classes and at home from our parents.” After a little research about CAPSEA, the teachers discov- ered the organization relies on donations from the community in order to help the victims that seek refuge from abuse. The victims often flee their homes with little or no belongings. As a result, the eighth graders decided to collect a variety of items for the organization including paper towels, toilet paper, nap- See Project, Page 3 St. Marys City Council approved the 2016 wage and benefit schedule for city personnel during their work session held last Monday evening.

Photo from the St. Marys Historical Society collection This photograph, which was taken by Arthur McQuone, shows the west side of the Diamond after a snowstorm in the 1930s. Some residents have both taken and acquired important historical photos By Becky Polaski Staff Writer Editor’s note: This is the ninth in a series of articles based on a presentation made by local historian Ray Beimel on the photographers who have helped document the community’s history. -While photographs depicting people, places, and scenes from throughout the community’s history come from a variety of sources, occasionally they are brought to the historical society’s attention by individuals who are already big supporters of the organization. This was the case with Harrison Stackpole. “Harrison Stackpole was a big supporter of the St. Marys Historical Society, and he was also a pretty good amateur photographer,” said local historian Ray Beimel. Beimel included two of Stackpole’s photos in his recent presentation on some of the photographers who helped document the community’s history. The first of Stackpole’s photos that he chose was a scene showing the North Fork Station and water standpipe on the Pittsburg, Shawmut, and Northern Railroad shortly after the line was abandoned in 1947. “Shortly after the Shawmut shutdown in March of 1947, he and some others walked up, at least I think they walked up, from North Fork and took pictures of the stuff there,” Beimel said. “I always liked this one because it shows the little station where Bill Bauer and others did some excavating years ago and found interesting things, and the standpipe to water the locomotives. Up on the bank there’s a concrete cistern that was fed by a pump down on Crooked Creek, and that’s how the Shawmut watered their locomotives there.” In addition to that photo, Beimel also included a picture Stackpole took in the late 1960s during St. Marys’ 125 anniversary celebration. “Harrison gets two (pictures in the presentation) because he took pictures of things like this,” Beimel said.

One employee is selected from the hospital and another from Pinecrest Manor. These Employees of the Month are awarded a special parking space and a gift certificate for logowear. The Penn Highlands Elk Auxiliary recently met and decided it would be fitting to randomly draw from these names and select two individuals to receive year-end gifts. Leanne Ruffner and Christine Gerber were the two lucky recipients of a Kindle Fire and a Dell tablet. Ruffner’s career at the hospital began in 1997 in the cafeteria when she was still in high school.

DuBrock, a certified wildlife biologist, will serve a term of up to six years. He was with the Game Commission for 32 years, 23 of which were spent guiding the agency’s wildlife management activities. During that time, he was responsible for directing the commission’s statewide programs and research on game, non-game and endangered species and for developing and implementing agency wildlife management goals, objectives, standards and policies. The Goddard Chair is a faculty position unlike any other at Penn State, with a focus on providing leadership on public-policy issues. Those chosen to fill it need not have extensive academic or research experience. The chair holder is expected to spend half of his or her time on public outreach, a third on teaching and the remainder on other scholarly activity, noted Michael Messina, director of the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management. “Cal DuBrock is a longtime conservation leader who will greatly help our department maintain its important role in Penn State’s land-grant mission,” he said. “His expertise complements existing strengths among our faculty -- he has the perfect experience required of the position.” Being asked to serve as the Goddard Professor in Forestry and Environmental Resource Conservation is an immense honor and a daunting challenge, according to DuBrock. He noted that this will be his “second, maybe third, career,” and all have been in public service and the management of natural resources. “The Goddard Chair is asked to place one foot in the policy and publicservice arena to advance discussions and natural resource conservation outcomes, and the other foot is firmly in the academic arena teaching and men- toring both students and colleagues,” he said. “I’m excited about the prospect of teaching natural-resource policy to students this spring and being actively engaged in current and emerging policy initiatives affecting our natural resources. I expect to do so in the spirit of ‘Doc’ Goddard, that is, with vision, integrity, candor, courage and determination.” DuBrock said he has worked diligently since his arrival at Penn State in September to design a natural resource policy course that will be informative and challenging, and to supplement and support the content of other coursework taken by students majoring in forest ecosystem science and in wildlife and fisheries science. DuBrock is a faculty co-advisor for the student chapter of the Wildlife Society and is “plugged into” the commonwealth’s Green Ribbon Task Force on Forest Products, Conservation and Jobs. He also is engaged in discussions about an emerging Pennsylvania See DuBrock, Page 5 Photos Continued from Page 1 Photo from the St. Marys Historical Society collection Photo from the St. Marys Historical Society collection This photograph, which was taken by Harrison Stackpole, shows the North Fork Station and water standpipe on the Pittsburg, Shawmut, and Northern Railroad shortly after the line was abandoned in 1947.

Harrison was around taking pictures, and there is one of St. Marys’ favorite cou- the 1930s. “It snowed in St. Marys back in those days too,” Beimel said. “This is a view of the Diamond after a heavy snowstorm. The Franklin Hotel is still there. The old Hall and Kaul Company Store and St. Marys Gas Company are still there.” A cannon can also be seen in place on the Diamond. In addition to that ple, Ann and Gus Grosser, decked out in period clothing helping to celebrate our anniversary.” Beimel also included two photos that had come to the historical society from Arther McQuone. He had previously mentioned McQuone earlier in the show, displaying a photograph that had been taken by McQuone by Jim Auman. When it came time to discuss McQuone’s contributions as a photographer, Beimel noted that he both took photos that have been beneficial to the society, and he also acquired photos that have been valuable as well. The first photograph he displayed was a view of the west side of the Diamond after a snowstorm, which was taken by McQuone sometime in photo, Beimel showed a different picture that had been given to the historical society by McQuone. The picture shows a hunting display in the window at Smith Brothers Department Store in 1941. While the photographer is not known with any certainty, Beimel noted that he suspects it may have been Tom Ewing. “This is in the Tom Ewing era,” Beimel said. “Maybe I’m blowing the horn of all the guys in my profession, but you notice how the professionals really knew how to make a good picture. Even today, most people trying to make that photograph with a fancy digital camera would not get that result. Yet Tom, if Tom indeed took it, was able to do that with a big, unwieldily view camera.” 3 The Daily Press Tuesday, January 12, 2016 Photos submitted Jenna Coffey, left, and Jarod Coffey, right, show off their sleds they built themselves last year. Cameron County Chamber announces new event Club from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. “Last year elementary students at Woodland Elementary School told teachers they wanted something to do in the winter and adults were listening,” says Tina Johns Solak, executive director of the Cameron County Chamber of Commerce. The Emporium Country Club will be turned into a winter carnival with the highlight a sledding contest. Everyone is invited to make a sled only using cardboard, duct tape, glue and paper. Age groups: 8 and under, 9-12, 13-18 and adults will be judged on originality and the distance traveled by their creation. A twoperson snowman building contest and creature building contest will also be held. In addition, cross country skiing, snowshoeing and ice skating are planned. “If the weather does not cooperate for ice skating, the pond will become home for a polar plunge,” according to Johns Solak. The Cameron County Girl and Boy Scouts will be offering food for purchase “it appeared to be where the tip of the knife struck him.” Moore advised that he had two shirts and a heavy hooded sweatshirt on at the time of the alleged incident, stating the accused “had a difficult time getting the blade through the victim’s clothing.” Authorities say the child showed no signs of injury from the alleged incident. According to the affidavit of probable cause, Gursky was contacted at the scene by two state troopers who reported that she “advised that she had stabbed the victim.” Troopers recovered a knife from an upstairs bedroom at the residence. The knife was secured and placed in evidence, and Gursky was placed in custody and transported to the barracks in Ridgway. Gursky was advised of her Miranda Warnings at 3:41 a.m. and provided a written statement in which she indicated she had struck the victim with an “object” that she had gotten off a nearby table. Less than an hour later, Gursky, while being questioned again by authorities, “advised the same as her written statement” and “would not state that she had stabbed the victim.” Police say Gursky “indicated that she hit (Moore) with something but would not say that the object was a knife.” Gursky was arraigned later that morning in front of Magisterial District Judge Mark S. Jacob in St. Marys and remanded to Elk County Prison in lieu of $10,000 bail. Gursky faces one count of aggravated assault, a second-degree felony; simple assault, a second-degree misdemeanor; recklessly endangering another person, a seconddegree misdemeanor; and a summary offense of harassment-subject other to physical contact. Gursky is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Tuesday, Jan. 12 at 12:30 p.m. in Jacob’s Magisterial District 59-3-03 courtroom in St. Marys.

Moore stated he arrived at his residence in Force when he realized that he had been stabbed as his back was bleeding and a cut was visible on his back. Moore placed a call to 911 to report the incident. He was interviewed by members of the Ridgway-based State Police in the emergency room at Penn Highlands Elk in St. Marys at approximately 2:50 a.m. Police say a cut, in the middle of Moore’s back along his spine and between his shoulder blades was visible. It measured 1 centimeter in length in a vertical pattern.

I recommend their IPL [India Pale Lager] if you get a chance, the Cascade hops used in that IPL are very distinct, very pleasant. Straub American Amber is also a good lager, I tried one of those last weekend at Jordan’s Bar & Grill during the “Seahawks whooping the Vikings game,” [Very nice]. I’m sure they will have a fine offering of several of their beers for us to try. Crescent Beer of Mt. Jewett will be joining the fun. They produce over 1.1 million cases a year and have the distribution rights to some big beer names—I’m sure they will bring the goods. Glenwood Beer Company will also wet your whistle, home of small batch beers like Voodoo beer, Evil Genius Harlan J. Beagley and hundreds of other craft brews. They also represent “malterPublisher natives” like Redd’s Wicked Apple Ale [Good cider] and non-alcoholic beverages. They too, offer the big boys: Coors, Miller, and many others, “We will have a coffee and cocktail bar as well for hot drinks,” said Michelle Bogacki, Ridgway Main Street Manager and Chamber event spokesperson. Michelle and I talked about hot cocoa, coffee nudges and other warm drinks [Yum]. Drink responsibility folks and remember to bring your ID. The Live Music: The Winter Blues & Brews opens the afternoon of music with a local favorite “Dusty Trout.” “Them Dusty Trouts will be grinnin’ and pickin’ this Saturday,” [LOL] mentioned someone on Dusty Trout’s Facebook. You are in for a special time here, I have seen ads for this band and Elk County folks truly rank them high. Hold on to your beer Elk County… Mick Hayes Live! It’s true, Mick is coming back to the Blues and Brews Fest to have another go.

Mick Hayes Music is big-time, just read some of his quotes from his website: “Mick Hayes is the real thing! Awesome voice, great grove,” said Billy Sheehan, bass player for David Lee Roth [Wow]. Mick Hayes from all accounts looks like a great bluesman and he is going to bring his soulful blues genre to the firemen’s carnival lot in Ridgway [Lucky you]. Mick has played with countless greats, not the least of which Stevie Wonder—who asked Mick if he would allow him on stage to sing with him and add a little harmonica to Mick’s [song] “Those 3 Words.” The Food: This event just keeps getting better my friends, fire-pits and burnbarrels will keep us nice and toasty-warm, no question about it. But the fire will also be used for roasting hot dogs. How fun, “a city hot dog roast,” [Brilliant]. Michelle said that some donations and sponsors make the food happen and the cocoa. I will find out more on that as this event gets closer. She also mentioned people can bring in a picnic basket [Hey, hey, boo boo] and whatever food and snacks they want. Sorry, no BYOB, with all of the beer included in the ticket price why bother with BYOB? Tickets are just a measly $20 and include unlimited tasting of the seasonal and favorite beers I mention above. The hot chocolate bar and food is available for an additional cost. Beat the winter blues and come out for an afternoon of music and fun.

In addition, he serves on an advisory panel to develop a leadership academy for young and mid-career natural-resource professionals in the state and is exploring ways to expand experiential opportunities, such as internships, for Department of Ecosystem Science and Management undergraduates and graduate students. “My real passion is ex- panding proactively in our culture the public relevancy of how we manage for healthy, sustainable natural systems and the importance of collaborative, informed management,” he said. “At the same time. we want to address the goal of increasing gender, ethnic and racial diversity in the natural-resource profession and attain competitive salaries for conservation professionals commensurate with their education and training preparation.” Western Pa. gas prices decrease two cents Western Pennsylvania gas prices have dropped 2 cents to $2.125 a gallon, according to AAA East Central’s Fuel Gauge report. The national average is $1.965. Last week’s Western Pa. average price: $2.140 Average price during the week of Jan. 12, 2015: $2.435 On the national front Gas prices continue to drop to multi-year lows, with today’s average price of $1.97 per gallon representing the cheapest average price at the pump since March 23, 2009. Gas prices have fallen for 55 of the past 66 days for a total savings of 26 cents per gallon and should remain relatively low because there is more than enough oil and gasoline around the world to meet demand. Disruptions in production generally lead to noticeable spikes in the price at the pump, which are often exacerbated due to the market’s relative isolation and specific fuel requirements. Consumers in the region will likely experience price swings in the near term due to both planned and unplanned maintenance, and this could increase the national average price of gas even as prices drop in other parts of the country. Both oil benchmarks have posted losses for every day of trading in 2016, and as a result, closed out the week at lows unseen in more than a decade. Expectations that prices will continue to hover at multi-year lows are beginning to surface and market watchers are pay- ing close attention to both China and the Middle East. Growth in China’s economy was once seen as a factor that could offset some of the market’s imbalance, though there is more uncertainty now that concerns over its economy continue to grow. West Texas Intermediate closed out Friday’s formal trading session on the NYMEX down 11 cents, settling at $33.16 per barrel. This represents a loss of approximately 10 percent on the week and was the benchmark’s lowest settlement since Feb. 9, 2004.

Music honors for Casey Sarah Casey concluded 11 years of piano study in 2015. An article similar to the following will be published in the Spring 2016 Guild Notes publication of the National Guild of Piano Teachers, based in Austin, Texas. Now a junior at St. Marys Area High School, Sarah Marie Casey began music lessons at St. Benedict Academy of Music at the age of five. She was instructed by Sister Helen Herbstritt, OSB, for 10 years, and then directed by Mr. Edwin Schwer in 2014-15. It was her love for music that helped her persevere in reaching the high goals she eventually achieved. For 10 years she participated in the National Piano-Playing Auditions sponsored by the National Guild of Piano Teachers. Sarah won the FiveYear National Award in 2010, the Ten-Year National along with the Paderewski Gold Medal in 2015; and the Sonatina Medal (Plaque) in 2014. Through the years she earned ten National gold pins, and six Composer pins. Programs presented before her Guild judges consisted of 10-12 memorized pieces and three musicianship phases. One exception was the Sonatina program which required 15 memorized sonatina movements. Ratings by Guild judges were consistently superior. Commendations were frequent on her clean-cut technique and excellent interpretation of style. Pieces she particularly enjoyed were Fantasy in D Minor (Mozart), Song of India (Rimsky-Korsakov), Canon in D (Pachebel), The Entertainer (Joplin), and Sonatina in C (Opus Sarah Casey 36 No. 1 by Clementi three movements). Her preferred phases were transposition, ear training and improvisation. Other goals for this diligent young pianist were performing in the yearly Spring piano recitals of the Music Academy from the time she was in Kindergarten. Included among her selections were original compositions she had developed from her improvisations. She also starred in the Academy’s Christmas recitals beginning in seventh grade. The daughter of Christopher and Michelle Casey, she has been an honor student throughout her school career. With English her favorite subject, she has also taken several years of German and is a member of the Foreign Language Committee. In her school bands she has played in percussion on the xylophone, marimba and glockenspiel. Her hobbies include photography and creative writing; and she holds district champion and most valuable player awards in tennis. About her music, Sarah offers these words: “Playing the piano is magical; there is no other feeling like it. Studying music has brightened my mind and soul, opening my life to the wonderful world of opportunities.” Engagement announced Photo submitted Erica Neubert and TJ Costanzo, both of St. Marys, are pleased to announce their engagement. The bride-to-be is the daughter of Anne and Andy Neubert of St. Marys. She earned her Pharm D at Duquesne University and is currently employed as a pharmacist at Rite Aid. The groom-to-be is the son of Tom and Teri Costanzo of Johnsonburg and Jackie and Fiasal El-Awar of St. Marys. He is a graduate of Triangle Tech and is currently employed at Alpha Sintered Metals. The happy couple is planning a March 19, 2016 wedding at Sacred Heart Church. Gov. Wolf announces plow truck tracking now publicly viewable through 511PA HARRISBURG – As part of an expanded technology pilot, the public can now view hundreds of plow trucks on interstates and expressways this winter at www.511PA.com, Governor Tom Wolf announced Monday. The announcement is part of the Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) system pilot first announced by the governor in October, which improves PennDOT’s information on vehicle movement and usage of winter materials. “This initiative will improve PennDOT’s operations by looking for efficiencies in how the agency’s fleet is operating during the winter months, while promoting transparency by allowing the public access to this information,” Governor Wolf said. “This is a step forward in showing Pennsylvanians how hard PennDOT is working to keep them safe during the winter season.” The public can view the location of more than 500 PennDOT plow trucks and more than 200 contracted rental trucks this winter through the 511PA website. PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards explained that while on-duty trucks will be shown in near real-time, the pilot does not show the full breadth of the department’s services on interstates or express- ways, or statewide. “During winter weather, interstates and expressways are our top priority,” Richards said. “That means that we often move trucks from lower-traffic roads onto interstates, and those trucks won’t be shown on 511. Additionally, due to differing staff schedules, storms or equipment usage, the location of all of the trucks will not be visible at all times. “We’re excited to educate the public about our operations with this pilot, but they won’t see all of our more than 2,000 trucks across the state.” Statewide, PennDOT has more than 2,200 total department-force trucks and also rents approximately 270 trucks and their operators to maintain the more than 40,000 miles of roadway for which PennDOT is responsible. The AVL system pilot is part of Governor Wolf ’s GO-TIME initiative that leverages interagency coordination and collaboration to maximize efficiency, modernize state government operations, and provide the highest quality services. The pilot, as one of seven GO-TIME projects identified by PennDOT in 2016-2017, is expected to realize a cost savings of $1.4 million over the next four to six years based on a combination of reduced salt usage and better use of department equipment. 6 The Daily Press Tuesday, January 12, 2016 SHHHH! the boss is away...

It rained during the larger part of last night and this morning which quickly froze, making walking almost impossible. The mill and brewery ponds were crowded with skaters yesterday. Several people broke through the ice on the former pond yesterday and got a good ducking. At present time there are 42 patients in the Elk County General Hospital in this place, and last night every bed in the institution was in use. There have been an unusually large number of surgical cases during the past few days. The hospital is certainly doing grand service and it has built a reputation far beyond the confines of Elk County. There has been agitation for some time to enlarge the hospital. It seems that the time is not far distant when this will be necessary. – Ridgway Record. Johnsonburg Breeze: Again, the demon boarder in love with the landlord’s wife, has come to pass in our fair city. The story, so far as we are able to learn is short, but nevertheless, pathetic. An Italian resident, who lives in the old Central hose building, is the victim, losing both his wife and about $60. It seems that he had given his wife the $60 to pay the grocery, meat and other bills on Wednesday, which was his pay day and upon returning from his toll in the evening, he found his wife and boarder gone. He has made a tour of the stores and meat markets and other places where his wife was to pay bills and upon his investigation, learned that the same had not been paid. He made a quiet investigation and on Thursday evening called upon the police to help him find the erring parties. While no clue has been found at this writing, to which direction the couple went, it is thought that they either boarded the northbound 4:21 afternoon train on the B.R.&P. or left on the 5:03 evening train on the Pennsylvania. Tuesday, Jan. 11, 1916 Miss Clara Fledderman, daughter of Henry Fledderman, of Rosely Road, became the bride of Peter Weber, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Weber, of Mill Street, at 6 o’clock this morning. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Father Suitbert, O.S.B., in the presence of immediate relatives of the contracting parties. The attendants were Caroline Weber, a sister of the groom and Ambrose Fledderman, a brother of the bride. The bride wore a dark green broad cloth suit with hat to match and the bridesmaid a blue suit and a black picture hat. After the ceremony the bridal party were driven to the bride’s home where they, in company with relatives and invited friends, partook of a sumptuous wedding breakfast. The bride and groom left on the noon train for a wedding trip to Erie, Buffalo and Niagara Falls. The newly weds are both well known young people of our city and their hosts of friends join with the Press in wishing them a safe journey o’er life’s matrimonial seas. Jerry Belanger, one of the top-notch pitchers on our last year’s ball club, yesterday received word from Connie Mack, of the Philadelphia Athletics, notifying him to report to Philadelphia in the middle of April. Wednesday, Jan. 12, 1916 7 The Daily Press Tuesday, January 12, 2016 Some time after midnight the store of Michael Pusl, on Theresia Street, was broken into and robbed, about $25 in cash and other articles being taken. Mr. Pusl attended a meeting during the evening, returning home shortly after midnight, and at that time everything was all right. The robbery was discovered upon his getting up to open the store this morning. Small change was scattered about the store as was also merchandise. The robber or robbers gained entry to the store by cutting a hole in the door under the knob and reaching through this were able to unlock the door. The police were notified of the robbery but so far have been unable to get a clue as to who the guilty parties are. One of the frame buildings owned by the White Silica Sand Co., who are operating to the north of the Elk County Home, was destroyed by fire yesterday morning. The wearing apparel of the workmen employed at the mines, tools, etc. were destroyed. The fire was caused by dynamite, which was being thawed out, catching fire. The loss was about $100. A meeting of the St. Marys faction of “Suffragettes” was held last evening on Washington Street, ostensibly to partake of the hospitality of the Misses Ida and Elizabeth Dippold, but through a leak in the inner circle we have discovered that the party was held to bring the ladies in-waiting together to devise ways and means of entrapping some of the young men of town not matrimonially inclined during the year 1916, which, as we all know, is a leap year and gives the members of the fair sex privileges not granted ordinarily. The parlor of the Dippold home was beautifully decorated for the occasion, a photograph of each guest promiscuously displayed being one of the chief features of the decorations.

In the rain on the road with the season in the balance, the two Pittsburgh Steelers reserves did more than just serve as placeholders for injured starter DeAngelo Williams. They proved they can make it in the unforgiving crucible of the playoffs. Todman ran for a gamehigh 65 yards while Toussaint had 118 yards of total offense in Pittsburgh’s 18-16 wild-card win over the Bengals on Saturday. Though Williams is hopeful his injured right foot will be good enough to go for next weekend’s trip to Denver, the Steelers running game appears to be in good hands either way. “It’s still unbelievable man,” Toussaint said. Kinda. Pittsburgh signed Todman on Sept. 6 after he failed to make the final 53-man roster in Carolina (despite a 49-yard touchdown sprint against the Steelers in the preseason finale) and added Toussaint to the practice squad a day later. They worked most of the year as “in case of emergency, break glass” options behind Williams and Le’Veon Bell. Then Bell tore a ligament in his right knee on Nov. 1 and Williams had his right foot crunched while facing Cleveland in Week 17. So much for being afterthoughts. Yet Todman and Toussaint (already being dubbed “TNT” in some social media circles) hardly seemed overcome by the stage or facing the league’s seventh-ranked run defense. Toussaint’s first carry lost a yard but his second was an authoritative burst over left tackle for nine. Todman entered late in the first quarter and darted for 23 yards on consecutive carries. “I felt like we were pretty good, pretty consistent,” Todman said. “We had a little rhythm.” They began the night with all of 76 yards rushing on the season — about 1,460 yards less than the two guys they were replacing. Yet Todman and Toussaint kept finding room and taking some of the pressure off quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who had trouble facing an occasional downpour and a Cincinnati pass rush that rarely let him get comfortable. At 5-foot-10, 200 pounds, Toussaint lacks Bell’s quick feet or subtlety. He was checked for a concussion when a collision sent the top of his helmet crashing onto the bridge of his nose, creating a gash that made him look like a stunt double in “Creed.” “They ran some tests on me, had me say a couple things,” Toussaint said. “The finger test, I passed it with flying colors and I was good.” The Steelers needed him to be. The player who came in with three receptions in his brief ca- Lady Dutch swim team wins Clearfield Arctic Swim Classic The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch swim team captured the Clearfield Arctic Swim Classic girls title on Saturday. The meet was held at the Clearfield Area High School. The Lady Dutch won the girls title with a total of 264 points followed by DuBois 226, Clearfield 215, Dover 179, Jersey Shore 116.5, Central Mountain 104, Hollidaysburg 102.5, Bellefonte 52, Altoona 22 and Mifflin County 20. Individual top three place winners for the Lady Dutch were Tayler Gnan, Mandy Geci and Hannah Lenze. Gnan won the 500 freestyle and placed second in the 100 backstroke. Geci was second in the 50 freestyle and third in the 100 breaststroke. Lenze was third in the 500 freestyle. The 200 medley relay and 200 freestyle relay teams also placed second. In the boys meet, Clearfield won with 289 points followed by Du- Bois 152, Dover 151, Bellefonte 121. Central Mountain 116, Hollidaysburg 104, St. Marys 104, Jersey Shore 83, Altoona 71, Brookville 48, Mifflin County 45 and St. Joseph’s Academy 21. Dutchman Ben Koss won the 100 backstroke and placed second in the 100 freestyle event. The SMA teams are back in action Thursday when they travel to UPB for a 4 p.m. meet against the Bradford Area squads. reer played a vital role in Pittsburgh’s last-gasp drive. Trailing by two with less than 90 seconds to go and with Roethlisberger’s range limited thanks to a throbbing right shoulder, Toussaint suddenly became the most dangerous player on the field. He caught consecutive lobs of seven and 10 yards to push the Steelers toward midfield and only Cincinnati defensive end Michael Johnson’s outstretched arm prevented a surprise draw play from the Pittsburgh 37 from turning into a big gainer. “When you can go out there and got both guys out there, both making plays (it shows) they have confidence in both of us,” Toussaint said. A confidence Pittsburgh expects to carry over to Denver. Even if Williams can play, it’s almost a given that Toussaint and Todman will be on the field at some point as the Steelers try to earn a trip to the AFC championship game for the first time in five years. Whatever jitters they may have carried with them into the postseason are now a distant memory. Todman, who bounced from Minnesota to San Diego to Jacksonville to Carolina before winding up in Pittsburgh, had to wait five years to be indoctrinated into the playoffs. It proved to be well worth it. “That was probably the most stressful one, the most ups and downs, highs and lows,” he said. “It’s amazing how one little thing can change the outcome of the game.” Or maybe not so little. The Steelers are still playing thanks in part to contributions from two players who heard head coach Mike Tomlin repeat his “next man up” mantra ad nauseam all season and took it to heart. Sure, there was a lot of chaos in the final seconds. That was new. The Steelers finding a way to win in January was not, no matter who is on the field. “I just believe in the guys in this room and the way we prepare all week long,” Toussaint said. “That gets us out of stadiums like that.” Competed for District 9 title Photo submitted Shown are the St. Marys Area and Elk County Catholic cheerleading squads at the DuBois Area High School following the District 9 Competitive Spirit championships. Gutsy play helps Tide beat Spurs win 8th straight in Nets’ Clemson 45-40 for national title first game since shake-up GLENDALE, Arizona (AP) — Alabama needed it all to win the toughest national title game it had ever played during the Nick Saban dynasty. All of its power. All of its speed. Even one gutsy trick. Derrick Henry, O.J. Howard and Kenyan Drake hit No. 1 Clemson with huge plays, and Alabama outlasted the dynamic play of dual-threat quarterback Deshaun Watson to win the College Football Playoff championship 45-40 on Monday night. The Crimson Tide (141) won its three previous championship game ap- pearances in runaway fashion. This game was an instant classic — and it turned on maybe the boldest call of Saban’s career. With 10:34 left in the fourth quarter and Alabama having just tied the game with a short field goal, Saban took a gamble to try to keep the ball away from Watson and the Tigers. He called for a high-bouncing onside kick that Tide defensive Marlon Humphrey caught over the shoulder at midfield. Tide ball. Moments later, Alabama also took back the Scholastic Schedule Schedule subject to change without notice. TUESDAY Boys basketball Punxsutawney at St. Marys, junior varsity 6 p.m., varsity to follow.

Cheerleading St. Marys at Elk County Catholic High School Cheer Frenzy, 10 a.m. NEW YORK (AP) — The Spurs are the NBA’s pillar of consistency of stability, an organization these Nets could only hope to resemble — on the court and in the front office. “San Antonio is the golden standard for the NBA,” Nets interim coach Tony Brown said. LaMarcus Aldridge had 25 points and 11 rebounds as the Spurs extended their winning streak to eight with a 10679 victory Monday night over Brooklyn in the Nets’ first game since an organizational shake-up. A day after coach Lionel Hollins was fired and general manager Billy King reassigned, the Nets dropped their 10th straight at home and fifth in a row overall. “We ran into a sledgehammer of a team,” Brown said. “They definitely know how to play together and that’s something we’re going to strive and try to do here.” Kawhi Leonard added 17 points for the Spurs, who go to Detroit on Tuesday before putting their 31-game home winning streak on the line Thursday in a showdown with Cleveland. The Spurs (33-6) were up seven at halftime before Giving You Something to Smile About! K& C DENTURE CENTERS, INC. 100 OFF A Set Of Deluxe Line Of Dentures $ $ Coupon must be presented at first visit.

Those are two of their 14 wins by 20 or more points this season, and their leadership under Gregg Popovich and general manager R.C. Buford matters just as much as the contributions of the players. “It’s consistency,” Aldridge said. “There’s no surprises. You know what you’re going to get day in and day out, game in game out, so it just makes it easier to do your job for sure.” Brook Lopez scored 18 points and Joe Johnson had 16 for the Nets, who haven’t won at home in more than a month. Brown moved guards Wayne Ellington and Donald Sloan into the starting lineup, but they combined for just 10 points on 4-of12 shooting. The Nets fell to 10-28, hours after owner Mikhail Prokhorov said the team needed a “reset” and that choosing to start it in the middle of the season was an easy decision. But no change could change things against the Spurs, the latest visiting team to win the crowd and the game in Brooklyn. “You’ve got to give them a lot of credit first. They’re a great, arguably the best team in this league, but you have to stay poised, you have to stick to your game plan,” Johnson said. “We had to do a great job for 48 minutes and obviously in the third quarter they opened it up.” Fans cheered loudest for 7-foot-3 Serbian Boban Marjanovic, who finished with 13 points and was on the floor in the final seconds when a “Go Spurs Go!” chant broke out. “This is good because if people love you, you are good,” Marjanovic said of the cheers, “and I feel great.” 3 PAPER ROUTES AVAILABLE In the following areas: Route 1: Chestnut St. & S.

With a matchup between two big-name quarterbacks and two marquee teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos could still be the biggest betting game of the playoff weekend. But for now it remains off the board in most sports books as oddsmakers await word on Roethlisberger’s playing status. The quarterback is so vital to Pittsburgh’s chances that even bookies used to taking chances aren’t going to take one without knowing if he is going to play. “Obviously at some point if you get no information you have to throw something out there and go for it,” said Nick Bogdanovich of the William Hill betting chain. “But right now it’s still too early in the week for that.” The betting matchups are set on all the other playoff games, and the oddsmakers seem to have gotten it right. For the most part there’s been little movement either way since lines went up on the other three games late Sunday. But no one seems to know what to make of Roethlisberger and the Steelers. “I’m hoping we have it up by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest,” said Johnny Avello, who runs the sports book at the posh Wynn resort. “I never like to have a big game like this be down with all the guests who come in here every day.” One thing that is known is that Denver will be favored against the Steelers. Some online books that operate outside the U.S. have the Broncos a 6-7 point pick, based on the assumption that Roethlisberger will be playing. If the quarterback doesn’t play, though, the Broncos would be favored by double digits, a whopping number in the NFL playoffs. “The difference between him and (backup) Landry Jones is huge,” Bogdanovich said. “I think that was evident against the Bengals.” At the South Point hotel, Jimmy Vaccaro said he was leaning toward putting up a number with small limits just to give bettors some options. Vaccaro said the Broncos would likely be 6-point favorites with Roethlisberger, and 11-point favorites if he doesn’t play. “He did his best Willis Reed impression, but it’s evident that with Ben not in the game things are quite different,” Vaccaro said. “It’s fairly obvious he’s hurting the way he was throwing when he ST. MARYS Area High School came back in.” Roethlisberger was the only quarterback to throw for more than 300 yards against the Broncos this season when he led the Steelers to a 34-27 comeback win over Denver on Dec. 20. The Steelers were the only team to score more than 30 points on Denver this season. But now both Roethlisberger and star receiver Antonio Brown are questionable for a rematch where a trip to the conference championship game is at stake. “There’s too many questions between Roethlisberger and Brown,” Bogdanovich said. “But it’s mainly Roethlisberger. The difference between him and Landry Jones is huge.” Oddsmakers had little problem setting lines on the other games with Arizona a 7-point pick over Green Bay, Carolina minus-3 against Seattle and New England a 5½-point choice over Kansas City. Another thing they’re certain about is fans will be lining up at the betting windows to put their money on the games. “People just love the NFL and they love the NFL playoffs,” Bogdanovich said. “If we had a team as a 27-point favorite people would still be betting on it.” The Daily Press Tuesday, January 12, 2016 St. Marys Area Bowling Leagues NOTICE - Bowling league results appear in The Daily Press on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Banged-up Wizards cruise past Bulls for 114-100 win ECC junior high downs SMA CHICAGO (AP) — John Wall had 17 points and 10 assists to help the banged-up Washington Wizards pull away from the Chicago Bulls for a 114-100 victory on Monday night. Washington had seven players score in double figures in its second straight win after a stretch of five losses in six games. Ramon Sessions had 16 points, and Garrett Temple, Otto Porter Jr. and Nene scored 14 apiece. The Wizards led by as many as 18 points while playing without key performers Marcin Gortat, Kris Humphries and Bradley Beal. Gortat was scratched with a sore left knee, Humphries missed his fourth straight game with a sore right knee and Beal remains out due to a stress reaction in his lower right leg. The Elk County Catholic junior high basketball team defeated the St. Marys Area squad by a 4429 score Friday afternoon at the SMAHS gym. Elk took an 8-4 first quarter lead and outscored the Dutch 9-7 in the second quarter for a 17-11 halftime lead. The third period saw the Crusaders outscore the Dutch 18-8. In the fourth period St. Marys outscored Elk 10-9 making the final score 44-29 in favor of Elk Catholic. ECC scoring: Alec Wehler 12, Brennen Klawuhn 6, Hunter Cashmer 7, Nick Daghir 4, Brady Schneider 9, Ryan Fritz 4. SMA scoring: Nate Beimel 12, Mitchell Bille 1, Anthony Cortina 8, Cody Dezanet 2, Shane Price 5, Todd Taylor 1. Derrick Rose scored 23 points in the first of four games in five nights for the Bulls. Jimmy Butler had 19 points and seven assists, and Pau Gasol added 15 points and 10 rebounds. Bulls center Joakim Noah had no points and nine rebounds in a little under 19 minutes in his return from a left shoulder sprain. It was Noah’s first game since he got hurt in the third quarter of a 105102 loss to Brooklyn on Dec. 21. Noah was blocked from behind by Wall with 2:19 left in the third quarter, and then grabbed his shoulder after he hit the ground. But he stayed in the game. Doug McDermott’s four-point play got Chicago within four with 9:34 left, but Washington responded with a 13-2 run to put it away. athletes of the Week CHRISTIAN STEFFAN RACHELLE ARMANINI Chris an Steffan has been selected as the St. Marys Area High School Male Athlete of the Week for the week of Jan. 4.

Dakota St. 2, Seton Hall 2, Utah 2. CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict was suspended for the first three games of next season as the NFL began handing down punishments on Monday for an ugly wildcard playoff game. The league also is reviewing the conduct of other players and coaches during Pittsburgh’s 1816 victory at Paul Brown Stadium on Saturday night that turned on penalties against Burfict and Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones in the final minute. Burfict was penalized for lowering his shoulder and hitting defenseless receiver Antonio Brown in the head after an incompletion with 22 seconds left and the Bengals holding a 16-15 lead. Brown got a concussion from the play. Burfict had already been fined four times for dangerous plays during the season. He got a $50,000 fine for an illegal hit on a Ravens player a week earlier. Burfict also was fined $69,454 for three penalties against the Steelers on Dec. 13: roughing the passer, grab- bing the facemask and unnecessary roughness. Merton Hanks, the league’s vice president of football operations, said the hit on Brown during the playoff game “placed his opponent at unnecessary risk of injury and should have been avoided. While players and coaches from both teams were on the field as Brown was getting examined, Jones went after Steelers coach Joey Porter and got a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. The two penalties moved the ball from the Cincinnati 47yard line to the 17, and Chris Boswell made a 35yard kick for the win. More punishments are expected from the game, which was marred by numerous altercations between players. Steelers offensive line coach Mike Munchak got a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct after he grabbed safety Reggie Nelson’s hair on the sideline following a play. Before the suspension was announced on Monday night, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said that Burfict didn’t “go over the edge” with his hit against Brown. Although the linebacker has been penalized and fined repeatedly, Lewis said he’s been depicted unfairly for his play. “It didn’t go over the edge,” Lewis said. “But unfortunately, he can’t have that kind of blow with the guy that’s receiving the pass. But it didn’t go over the edge for the course of the season. “Let’s not take things out of context, and understand it. Let’s judge the body of work.” The NFL decided his penalties over the course of a season merited the suspension, which can be appealed. Steelers linebacker James Harrison, who spent one season in Cincinnati with his locker next to Burfict’s, said in Pittsburgh that Burfict is always pushing the line of what’s accepted. “There’s times when he’s out of control, and there’s times he’s out of control, but he’s calculated with it,” Harrison said. “It’s a fine line.” Late goal by Jesper Fast gives Rangers 2-1 win over Bruins NEW YORK (AP) — Jesper Fast scored on a deflection in front with 1:42 to play and the New York Rangers rallied to beat the Boston Bruins 2-1 on Monday night. Derick Brassard also scored in the third period and Henrik Lundqvist made 32 saves, including a highlight-reel stop on Max Talbot, as the Rangers beat the Bruins for only the fourth time in 12 meetings (4-8). Jimmy Hayes scored for the Bruins, and Tuukka Rask had 28 saves. Boston is 2-6-1 in its last nine games. It marked the first time this season the Rangers overcame a deficit at the start of the third period and won in regulation. They were 0-11-2 entering the game. Lundqvist kept the game tied with a magnificent save on Talbot shortly after Brassard evened the score early in the third. With the goalie out of position after a shot in front, the puck came to Talbot to the left of a wide-open net. Lundqvist slid back with his pad on the ice and then lifted his leg to make a pad save as Talbot elevated the puck. Fast got the gamewinner by deflecting a point shot from defenseman Keith Yandle. The Rangers needed only 35 seconds to wipe out a 1-0 deficit entering the third period. The big move was made by coach Alain Vigneault, who put Brassard, Mats Zuccarello and Rick Nash back on the same line. New York defenseman Ryan McDonagh worked the puck along the left boards and shoveled it to Zuccarello. He worked his way toward the net and flipped the puck to the crease past Rask and defenseman Torey Krug to a wide-open Brassard for his 15th goal. Hayes, who was playing against his brother, Kevin, for the fifth time, gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead at 9:04 of the second period with a 40-shot snap shot to the corner of the net that simply beat a stunned Lundqvist. The Bruins probably deserved a bigger lead. athletes Ryan Spooner clanged a shot off the post on a firstperiod breakaway, and Bret Connolly rang another shot off the post late in the second period when Boston kept the puck in the Rangers end for almost the final 2 minutes. Lundqvist, making his ninth consecutive start, became the first Rangers goalie to record 20,000 career saves. NOTES: Rangers D Dan Girardi left with a lacerated hand in the second period and did not return. ... With Chris Kreider returning to the lineup after missing two games with a cut hand, rookie Oscar Lindberg was a healthy scratch for the second time this season. ... The game was Boston’s third on a five-game road trip, with the final two stops in Philadelphia and Buffalo. ... The Rangers play their next three on the road against the Islanders, Flyers and Capitals. ... Krug played in his 200th NHL game, while fellow Bruins D Adam McQuaid missed his third straight with an upperbody injury. of the Week BENJI HOFFMAN MARLEE SCHAUT Benji Hoffman has been selected as the Elk County Catholic High School Male Athlete of the Week for the week of Jan. 4.

Thursday, Jan. 13, 1916 A surprise party was tendered A. J. Rimer, at his home on Oil Well Street last evening in honor of his birthday anniversary. The evening was spent in cards, music and singing and at midnight a dainty lunch was served. All present had a very pleasant time and before departing for their homes wished Mr. Rimer many happy returns of the day. Nick Kota, the Italian, who was arrested recently at Dahoga, Elk County, on the charge of committing murder near James City, in 1911, and who has been a prisoner in the county jail for over a week, has not yet been given a hearing. It is said the authorities are getting their witnesses ready for the hearing. Kota has retained D.J. Driscoll, Esq., of St. Marys, for his counsel. The disappearance of a wife, a boarder and a sum of money at Johnsonburg last week created much excitement and the husband was bent on finding his wife and paramour. They were found and the Johnsonburg Breeze, in its issue yesterday tells the story the following way: Saturday it was learned that the parties wanted were in Philadelphia and the officers of that city were notified to hold them until an officer from this place could reach that city. On Saturday evening Constable George McClintick left for Philadelphia to bring the pair back. They arrived at this place on the early Pennsylvania flyer this morning and at 10:30 were given a hearing before Justice of the Peace W. S. Gleason. W. A. McClure was the prosecuting attorney and Joe Rizzoli, the prosecutor. The first charge brought against the defendant, Tony (Ricci) Rich, was pandering. Evidence was produced 4. EMPLOYMENT that he purchased a trunk and that a portion of his clothing and some of Mrs. Condita Napolitiano’s, wife of Jos. Rizzoli, besides some linens and bed clothing belonging to Mr. Rizzoli were in the trunk. The woman furnishing him with some money, given her by her husband, he secured tickets for Philadelphia and they left on the 10:46 train on Saturday. Arriving at Philadelphia they went to a hotel, where two rooms were secured and on Saturday intended to go out of the state and get married, but when they put in their appearance at the station they were arrested. The defendant was held in the sum of $500 bail for the next term of court and as this paper goes to press is making an attempt to secure the sum. He came to this place about four months ago from Bradford and has been boarding at the Rizzoli home since that time, part of the time being employed at the brick works. As no charge was preferred against the wife of the prosecutor, she was discharged after producing her evidence. When asked if she was going back to live with her husband, she said, “No, she preferred to go to jail with Tony.” The couple were married about four or five years ago and have no children. A charge of larceny was also brought against (Ricci) Rich, but after hearing the evidence the Justice discharged the defendant. The sum stated was $175. Yesterday’s Kane Republican says: R. H. Fairservice, member of the state constabulary, stationed at St. Marys, who arrested Nedelico Kato at Dahoga, Monday, January 3, who is charged with being implicated in a shooting affray, which occurred in a shanty near James City on May 22, 1911, which 4.

The son of the dead man who will serve as a witness is but 15 years old and it is through him the arrest of Kato was brought about. The story reads like fiction, the scene being laid on both sides of the Atlantic. The prisoner and the Tony family resided in the same Macedonian town, and the Tony boy, at the time of the murder of his father, resided with his mother there. An older son was with the father in this country. This son suspected Kato of the crime and wrote home his suspicions. When Kato appeared in his native village the young son notified the son in this country and when Kato left the Macedonian community the little boy again apprized his brother here to be on the outlook for his return. When the war broke out the older brother returned to Macedonia and took up arms. The younger brother came to James City and secured work. Always on the outlook for his father’s assailant, his vigilance was rewarded by his catching sight of Kato near this city. He found that the man was working at Dahoga. He notified the authorities and the arrest of Kato followed. Friday, Jan. 14, 1916 Johnsonburg – Susan McAlee, aged about 15 years, was shot with a 38-calibre revolver through the door of her home on East Center Street last evening, when her father, Chris McAlee, sought entrance into his home and fired at the door. The bullet entered the girl’s body about an inch above the heart and is likely to prove fatal. The mother and four other children were in the house at the time of the shooting. McAlee was released from the county jail last week after serving time on a charge of beating his wife, and had since demanded entrance to his home it is said. A nine pound baby boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. William Miller, of Center Street, on Wednesday. Saturday, Jan. 15, 1916 In the account of the Johnsonburg shooting case published in yesterday’s issue we stated it was the McAlee girl that was wounded by a shot fired from a 38 revolver by her father, which was incorrect. We were furnished with the information as published and thinking it reliable made no inquires. The Ridgway Record of yesterday says: “Susan McAlee, who will be fifteen years of age next April, shot her father last evening at Johnsonburg, about 6 o’clock. McAlee was standing at the door of his home trying to get into the house when the girl seized a .38-calibre revolver, shot through the panel of the door, which was about half an inch in thickness, the bullet penetrating McAlee at a point about one inch above his heart. He is in critical condition and his death is expected at any moment. It was intended to remove the patient to the Ridgway hospital, but physicians stated it was unnecessary, as death was only a question of a short time. Chris McAlee, who was given a jury trial at court last week on the charge of beating his wife was acquitted. On his return to Johnsonburg he demanded entrance to his home on several occasions. It is said he had been drinking last evening and that the family feared him. The mother and four children were in the house at the time. It is said the mother has been working in a laundry to help support the family. The girl was immediately placed under arrest and spent the night in the Johnsonburg Borough bastille. She was brought to Ridgway this morning by Contable McClintock, and placed in the county jail. The girl sobbed when incarcerated in the Johnsonburg jail, stating that she did not intend to kill her father, only to scare him. However, she had entirely recovered her composure on the arrival at Ridgway, and made no objections when Deputy Joseph May took her to jail. She seemed very young. However, the girl figured in the escapades with one Sadie Thompson, of Kane, the freight rider, whose doings furnished columns of reading matter for the newspapers in this section about a year ago. The McAlee girl spent some time in the Smethport jail, but was later released and sent to her home on Johnsonburg.” The McAlee girl made her home in St. Marys for several months last summer, residing with Mr. and Mrs. Ben Fritz, on Rightmeyer Street. St. Marys had its first real touch of winter last night and early this morning. The thermometer began to drop early last night and this morning around 6 a.m. registered about 3 degrees below zero. The following warning in the matter of thawing out frozen water pipes, which, if it is followed, will save much money in the matter of property ruined by water: Do not pour hot water upon frozen water pipes. Wrap a cloth about the pipes and pour the hot water upon the cloth. This will thaw the frozen water and will not burst the pipes. There is still much sickness prevailing in St. Marys, but judging from reports it is not so bad as at other places. The many changes of the weather that have been experienced within the past week or two is largely responsible for most of the ailments. Along the latter part of August, Edward Lewis, about 49 years of age, and Miss Edna Viola Lewis, aged 17 years, an adopted daughter, residing in the West End, disappeared, says the Johnsonburg Breeze. It seems that Lewis had made threats that he was going to leave with the girl and an endeavor was made to watch the couple, but one evening the pair secured an automobile and went to Wilcox from which point they made their flight by railroad. Some time later it is alleged Mrs. Lewis received a letter from him stating he was in Detroit, asking her to send his trunk. At this point the matter was taken up with the Detroit police department who made an investigation and found Lewis and the girl living in that city as man and wife. We have been unable to learn whether the pair will be brought to this place to stand trial or not, but if not it is quite likely that Lewis will be arraigned on a white slave charge. Mr. Joseph Kalbfus, Secretary of the State Came Commission, writes from Harrisburg to the Press calling attention to the great importance and necessity of the frequent feeding of all wild game during the winter months while the ground is covered with snow. This feeding is very necessary in order to protect the native birds like the turkey, pheasant and quail and ringneck pheasant, which do not eat the tree buds, from starvation. The secretary says he will pay for the feed, but is not able to employ agents to feed the birds. Therefore he calls upon hunters and local societies to assist him. 19. MISC. 19. MISC. 19. MISC. 19.

Dear Annie: In October, I visited my family in France. Three weeks after I returned home, the terrorist attacks occurred. My husband was out of town and I was all alone. My family in France, thankfully, was safe. I consider myself a loyal friend. However, only one person called to ask about my family and about me. That person was actually a business acquaintance. I am deeply grateful for that call, but truly surprised and disappointed that there were no others. A family member phoned two days later, saying he had been so busy with work that he didn’t hear about the attacks until later. I was polite, but seriously, people would have to be living under a rock not to have heard the news immediately. It was an extremely difficult time for me, and I am terribly hurt and angry that no one else took a few seconds to ask whether my family was OK or to find out how I was handling things. I received a Christmas card from one friend who wrote only to brag about her job promotion. Annie, all of these so-called friends are well aware that much of my family lives in France. I no longer wish to associate with these people. What can I say if any of them call and want to get together with me? -- Still Hurting Dear Hurting: People tend to be self-absorbed and sometimes don’t think of another person’s specific situation when they hear about a tragedy far away. Please give your friends a chance to make it up to you. If they call, tell them that you were hurt and disappointed that you didn’t hear from them at the time. Give them the opportunity to apologize. You will be much less an- Ridgway Record TheDailyPress The the Kane Republican gry and upset if you can grant forgiveness and start fresh. Of course, if they offer feeble excuses and make no attempt to say they are sorry, feel free to stop responding to their calls. Dear Annie: As my mother got older, she used to worry about her faraway friends when she didn’t hear from them at Christmas. She thought maybe they had gone into a nursing home or were homebound and unable to correspond. Or maybe they had died. So when my mother moved to a nursing home near us, I decided to make sure this didn’t happen to her. I wrote a newsy letter about how she was doing, and added where she was living, along with the address. I printed it on Christmas stationery and sent it in the first part of December. Well, Annie, I want to tell you that the response was overwhelming. She received Christmas cards from nearly all of her friends. Some wrote long, newsy letters of their own, and a few of them even wrote letters to me. It was very rewarding and gratifying, and Mom felt that she was still a part of her friends’ lives. I thought you might like to pass this on to others so they will know to do it during the next holiday season. -- Grateful Daughter Dear Daughter: This is a sweet idea and an excellent way to keep others apprised of Mom’s situation and encourage them to contact her. Seniors, especially those who move away from familiar surroundings, often feel isolated. Thank you for providing a lovely way to stay connected.
