Program helping students with autism flourishes at SSMSE
By Amy Cherry
Staff Writer
Over the past two years,
staff at South St. Marys Street
Elementary School have vastly
increased the communication
and social skills of students with
autism.
During a recent St. Marys
Area School District Board of Directors meeting, Kara Vollmer,
special education teacher, and
Lori Leuschel, speech pathologist, discussed their work and
the success they have seen during a state-piloted autism verbal
behavioral program.
“We have enjoyed housing the program at South and
have learned a lot from Lori
and Kara,” said Robin Johnson,
SMASD supervisor of special
education. “These ladies took
the bull by the horns. When I
first approached Kara about the
program, she dug right into it.
They really expanded the program to what it is. Our goal is to
have these kids speaking and be
able to tell us their needs so we
don't see the negative behaviors
because they are able to request
what they want.”
The district sent the pair to
an intensive three-day boot camp
training in Harrisburg where
they were required to take written and oral competency tests.
In 2012, there were only 335
sites in the state compared to
today’s 565 sites in which Harrisburg has incorporated consultants at the doctorate level to go
into classrooms helping teachers and speech pathologists with
children with autism.
Initially, South St. Marys
Street did not fare well receiving a score of 32 percent following a site review in October 2013
which entailed an overall classroom checklist on how they were
currently educating the students
with autism.
With the district's support
and help from consultants, over
the past two years the school has
increased their score to an 87
percent on their site review and
are now a model site classroom
for the state, a process which
typically takes between six to
eight years to accomplish.
According to Vollmer, on average in Pennsylvania, a majority of classrooms report students
gaining 15 points a year on map
work, however three out of nine
students at South St. Marys
Street tripled those points gaining 48 points over the school
year.
“To us that is remarkable,”
Vollmer said.
Johnson added they have
already witnessed “the expansion and knowledge of the students' communication and social
skills.”
A specific program and diagnostic tools were used within the
classroom as part of the project.
"I've been doing this a long
time and to be able to work with
Mrs. Vollmer and have the consultants' input had really made a
huge difference on our students.
&
The way they communicate and
the way they understand the
world around them has been
amazing,” Leuschel said.
The three areas the school
lacked in were social skills curriculum as students were not
ready for curriculum, however
now higher functioning autistic
children are ready for the curriculum, natural environment
teaching and inclusion. The last
two areas encompass general
education population teachers
incorporating the program into
their settings as well.
“We have to be experts before we can go and preach the
good word to get everyone else
on board,” Vollmer said. “We are
hoping to do this within the next
couple of years.”
Vollmer credits staff with applying some previous knowledge
to work as a team approach.
By using research-based
practices they were taught

Pennsylvania attorney general
won't testify at perjury trial
NORRISTOWN (AP)
— Attorney General Kathleen Kane decided Friday
not to testify or put on any
defense witnesses at her
perjury and obstruction
trial, saying she didn't
think the government had
proved its case against her.
"I listened to the commonwealth's case and I
don't believe it's necessary
for me to testify," Kane
said.
Kane is accused of
leaking grand jury evidence to the press and lying about it under oath.
The felony perjury charge
can bring up to seven
years in prison.
Closing arguments are
set for Monday.
Kane listened this
week as two of her oncetrusted advisers told the
jury that she had invented
a story for the grand jury
and framed someone else
for the leak. One of them
said he conspired with her
on the plan.
"Kathleen and I came
up with a story that she
was going to testify to and
I was going to testify to,"
political consultant Josh
Morrow testified Thursday. "We had conspired
to create this story that
wasn't true."
The other, former chief
deputy and her former
law school boyfriend Adrian King, said he passed
an envelope from her to
a campaign consultant
that eventually reached a
newspaper. But King said
that he didn't know it contained secret criminal files
and that Kane is trying to
frame him.
Kane, once a rising
star in the state's Democratic Party, is set to leave
office in January after a
tumultuous first term that
spawned her arrest, the
loss of her law license and
a statehouse impeachment
effort. Kane, 50, has said
she was being targeted
for taking on an "old boys
network" in state government.
Prosecutors say Kane
leaked documents through
aides in 2014 to get back
at a former prosecutor
in the office whom she
loathed. The documents
showed that the prosecutor, Frank Fina, had led a
2009 investigation into an
NAACP official's finances
but then shelved the case.
Kane thought Fina had
made her look bad in a
story about a statehouse
sting of fellow Democrats
that she had dropped.
"I think she was just
hell-bent on getting back
at Frank Fina," Morrow
said.
Prosecutors said the
NAACP official, J. Whyatt
"Jerry"
Mondesire
of
Philadelphia, was simply
collateral damage. His
fiancee testified Friday
that the story unfairly
maligned him, contributed to his ouster from the
NAACP and took a toll on
his health. Mondesire, 65,
died last year.
Chris Brennan, the
Philadelphia Daily News
reporter who wrote the
story, also took the stand
to invoke a state shield
law that protects journalists from disclosing their
sources.
The final prosecution
witness read a 1999 trial
transcript that quoted
Kane saying she knows
it's illegal to disclose grand
jury evidence. She testified
that the judge on trial in a
bribery case had asked her
to do so. She said that she
refused.
The defense made the
standard motion Friday to
dismiss the case for lack
of evidence, but Montgomery County Judge Wendy
Demchick-Alloy
found
"more than enough direct
and circumstantial evidence" to send the case to
the jury.
Kane has appeared
cool and confident throughout the five-day trial and
smiled along with the
judge when Brennan, answering a question, said
that "almost nothing surprises me as a political reporter."
to show the founders of
the program at Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network
(PaTTAN), an initiative
of the Bureau of Special
Education.
They were then to
present their ideas during the National Autism
Conference on Aug. 1 at
the Penn Stater.
“Starting up new programs can be a touchy
subject as you never know
if it's going to work or not,”
Vollmer said. “Fortunately enough it has worked
for us and our students at
South St. Marys Street.”

ing on integrated weed
management tactics that
include effective cultural
and mechanical control
measures."
First
detected
in
Pennsylvania in 2013,
Palmer amaranth has
been found in soybeans,
corn and alfalfa, as well
as in noncrop areas and
at field edges, in at least
14 counties. Experts believe it exists in more
counties, but that has yet
to be documented. Isolated populations of waterhemp, which is a serious
problem in the Midwest,
have been in Pennsylvania for several years.
Research has shown
that these annual weeds
are capable of significantly reducing crop yields. In
a Tennessee study, Palmer amaranth and waterhemp decreased soybean
yields by 78 percent and
56 percent, respectively.
High densities of Palmer amaranth have been
shown to reduce corn
yields by up to 91 percent. Experts say the two
weeds also are likely to
cause serious problems in
vegetable and small-fruit
production.
The Penn State sci-
entists and the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture hope to classify
both pigweeds in the near
future as "Pennsylvania
Noxious Weeds" to help
increase awareness of the
problem and encourage
landowners to prevent
their spread.
As herbicide efficacy
wanes, the Penn State
specialists advise growers to look at alternative
control measures. "With
smaller infestations, consider walking the fields
and removing the weeds
by hand," Lingenfelter
said. "For vegetables or
crops that are harvested
by early September, mow
harvested fields to prevent seed production. To
ensure success, two to
three mowings may be
necessary prior to a hard
frost."
To assist in disposal of
a small number of plants,
the Pennsylvania Soybean Board and soybean
growers provided funding
to develop 40-gallon bags
made from recycled paper
to be used for bagging and
either burning or burying
large pigweed plants to
prevent seed production
and spread.

"Keep a few of these
bags in your pick-up or
tractor," said Lingenfelter. "Do not transport
plants away from the infested field. You should
bury or burn plants that
may contain viable seed
at the field edge."
Curran added that
harvesting all plant ma-
terial and ensiling it also
should kill some of the
weed seeds that could
be present as autumn
approaches. "It is very
important not to allow
Palmer amaranth seed
to spread beyond the current infestation and to try
to reduce the potential for
new seed production," he
said.
"The potential to
spread this problem at
harvest via the combine
is great, so anything that
can be done to control the
pigweeds prior to crop
harvest is imperative."

an herbicide solution, but
this can be challenging,
explained Dwight Lingenfelter, weed science extension associate. "These
populations are resistant
to glyphosate (Roundup),
and many also may be resistant to ALS, or Group
2, herbicides. Potentially
effective products usually
are members of herbicide
Group 14, or PPO inhibitors. But these herbicides
generally will not kill
these large, more mature
plants."
Curran pointed out
that that resistance to
Group 14 herbicides also
is on the rise. Purdue
University scientists recently reported that populations of PPO-resistant
waterhemp and Palmer
amaranth are increasing
in Indiana. Nationally,
PPO-resistant
waterhemp first was identified
in 2001 in Kansas and
now is found in at least
seven states as far north
as Minnesota. PPO-resistant Palmer amaranth
is less common – likely
only because it is a more
recent problem – but has
been reported in Arkansas, Tennessee and now
Indiana.
"This is just another
tale confirming that overreliance on certain herbicide families quickly
leads to herbicide-resistant weeds," Curran said.
"The take-home message
is to diversify the weed
management
program,
not only rotating herbicide sites of action and
using effective herbicide
mixtures, but also rely-

UNIVERSITY PARK
– Late summer is a critical time for Pennsylvania
corn and soybean growers
to control the spread of
invasive weeds that pose
a serious threat to crop
yields.
Palmer
amaranth
and waterhemp, two species of pigweed that are
gaining a foothold in the
state, soon will produce
seed. As a result, producers whose fields contain
these weeds should take
steps to be sure that seed
doesn't spread beyond the
original infestation, according to extension specialists in Penn State's
College of Agricultural
Sciences, who will be
available to offer advice
and information to growers at Penn State's Ag
Progress Days exposition,
Aug. 16-18.
The problem is that
these weeds have developed resistance to commonly used herbicides,
making control difficult,
noted Bill Curran, professor of weed science.
"July and August is
the time of year when
growers start to notice
infestations
of
these
new invasive pigweeds
as they climb above the
soybean canopy," Curran
said. "Management options for weed 'escapes'
in soybeans are limited at
this point in the growing
season. The goal is to prevent the spread of Palmer
amaranth and waterhemp before and during
harvest."
The first reaction for
most growers is to look for

Fair warning, this will sell out
again, this could be the dinner show of the year for sure…
Elvis Presley will sing a mushy love song and get you
excited [Scott Allegretto is the King]. You’ll relive some
memories with the Neil Diamond Show and “The Man
in Black” — by tribute artist Chris Denem. His “Johnny
Cash” will get your toes tapping, no question about it.
Lacey Skillman [An amazing young woman I’m told] will
faithfully recreate Marilyn Monroe. And, as if that wasn’t
enough…you’re sure to howl and try to sing along to the
stunning Patsy Cline review by Heather Olson. Then, David Carr “…will do it … my — way” as he channels his
inner-Frank—bring back “The Chairman of the Board”
ole’ Frank Sinatra himself. All this and great buffet dinner to boot … roasted chicken, rolled beef, fancy desserts
[Oh my].
The Relay For Life team “Golden Hearts” presented
this show last year and this year they have added even
more…Team members Serna Schatz and Marcy Lavelle
[The 50/50 Girls!] stopped by for a quick visit. They told
me all about the efforts of their fine team and the big night
planned for this year’s event — they will not disappoint.

Guest Commentary
Taking the Wind out of Trump’s Energy Policy
Black letters against a
yellow background. Black
letters against white.
White letters against
black. On yard signs. On
T-shirts. On baseball caps.
All with the same message: “Trump Digs Coal.”
Donald Trump says
there are “ridiculous
regulations [on coal] that
put you out of business
and make it impossible to
compete.” He says if he is
president, he would reduce
those regulations. Those
regulations that Trump
doesn’t like are enforced by
the Environmental Protection Agency to protect
miners and the public.
In speech after speech in
the coal-producing states,
he has said, “We’re going
to get those miners back
to work . . . the miners of
West Virginia and Pennsylvania . . . [In] Ohio and
all over are going to start
to work again, believe me.
They are going to be proud
again to be miners.” He
also says the voters in
coal-rich states “are going
to be proud of me.”
As expected, his comments are met by extended
cheers. However, other
than splashing rhetoric to
get votes, he doesn’t say
how he plans to put miners
back to work, nor does he
address the issues of the
high cost to create “clean
coal,” or that a president
doesn’t have absolute
power to reduce federal
legislation. But his words
sound good to the mining industry in Wyoming,
West Virginia, Kentucky,
Pennsylvania, and Illinois,
the top five states in coal
production.
Trump is also a vigorous
proponent of using fracking to extract natural gas
and oil, a position that has
led the American Energy
Alliance (AEA) to endorse
him for the presidency.
In 2012, Trump tweeted:
“Fracking will lead to
American energy independence,” a statement parroting a major argument
of the oil and gas industry,
but which is inaccurate.
In March, he erroneously said, “Did you know,
if they fracked in New
York [which has a ban on
fracking], New York would
lower its taxes, would have
no debt, would have made
a fortune. Instead, Pennsylvania [which permits
fracking] took all the
money.” Like the AEA and
Chambers of Commerce,
he disregards the effects
upon the environment and
public health. But, he also
sends a mixed message
about fracking. He argues
that local governments
and voters should have the
right to ban fracking. It is
a position the oil and gas
industry, as well as numerous politicians oppose, but
which moderate environmental groups accept as a
reality.
Hillary Clinton is also
trying to get votes and,
like Trump, she sends a
mixed message. She says
she supports the use of
fracking to extract oil
and gas but has also said,
“We’ve got to move away
from coal and all the other
fossil fuels,” and that she
has “long been in favor of
states and cities within
states making up their
own minds whether or
not they want to permit
fracking.” When she was
secretary of state, she
spearheaded the development of the Global Shale
Gas Initiative, which
promoted fracking and
the use of fossil fuel as an
energy source. In 2010,
Clinton told a meeting of
foreign ministers, “Natural
gas is the cleanest fossil
fuel available for power
generation today.” Two
years later, she convinced
Romania to overturn its
ban on fracking and sign a
30-year mining lease with
Chevron.
Gary Johnson, former
governor of New Mexico
and the Libertarian party’s
nominee for president,
supports fracking but
wants increased regulation and oversight. He
says he will “keep an open
mind” about fracking,
and argues, “the fact that
in Pennsylvania you could
turn your faucet on and
get water before fracking,
and afterwards you could
light it—that’s a concern.
That’s a real live concern.”
Both Johnson and Bill
Weld, former governor of
Massachusetts and the
Libertarian Party’s vicepresidential nominee, are
strong environmentalists.
Dr. Jill Stein, a physician and the Green Party’s
nominee for president, is
the only major nominee to
oppose fracking and the
use of fossil fuel energy. In
the 1990s, as an environmental activist, she was
a leader in the protests
against coal plants in
Massachusetts. She and

her party demand a ban
on fracking, and push for
the development of renewable energy. “In the real
world,” says Stein, “wells
leak and pipelines spill.
The supposed climate
benefits of burning natural
gas are being revealed as
nothing more than greenwashing by the fossil fuel
industry.” Fracking, she
says, “is a national threat
to our water, our health,
and our future [and] it’s
time to work for a national
ban on fracking and a just
transition to 100 percent
clean renewable energy by
2030.”
Several states have
placed moratoriums on the
use of fracking. In June
2013, the Pennsylvania
Democratic State Committee approved a resolution
to establish a moratorium,
but the party leadership
ignored the will of the
delegates. The delegates
to the Democratic National Convention in June
rejected a resolution to
support a moratorium or
ban on fracking.
Sen. Bernie Sanders,
Clinton’s primary opponent, is adamant that
fracking must be banned
in order to protect both the
environment and health.
However, in the West
Virginia primary Sanders took 55 percent of the
Democratic vote to Clinton’s 29 percent. In May,
he said, the U.S. needs “to
combat climate change to
make our planet habitable
for our children and our
grandchildren, [but] we
cannot abandon communities that have been dependent on coal and other
fossil fuels.” He proposed
spending $41 billion to “rebuilding coal mining communities and making sure
that Americans . . . all
over this country receive
the job training they need
for the clean energy jobs of
the future.”
Pandering for votes and
to the fears that unemployment and bankruptcies in the fossil fuel
industry will increase
under any administration other than his own,
Donald Trump overlooks
a reality that workers are
not melded to their jobs.
If given an opportunity, as
Sanders and others have
proposed, most skilled
workers in the fossil fuel
industry would leave the
mines and the oil and gas
fields to be re-trained for
jobs in the cleaner renewable energy fields. Jobs
in the fossil fuel industry
decreased by 18 percent
last year, according to
a study by the Brookings Institute. Long-term
losses could be 226,000 to
296,000 drilling-related
jobs, according to the Institute. While the fossil fuel
industry is cutting back on
employment, jobs in solar
energy increased by 22
percent last year, and jobs
in wind energy increased
by 21 percent. For the first
time, jobs in the renewable
energy industry are more
than for the entire fossil
fuel industry, according to
the International Renewable Energy Agency.
Trump, other politicians, and the conservative
Chambers of Commerce
that support fracking
should be looking forward to renewable energy
employment rather than
backward at fossil fuel
employment. If they do so,
they will capture the voters not from fear but from
opportunity.

Draft picks help Lions rally past Steelers, 30-17
PITTSBURGH (AP) — A
pair of draft picks helped the
Detroit Lions defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-17 Friday.
Chris Boswell briefly put
Pittsburgh in front with a 37yard field goal, but Dwayne
Washington, the Lions’ seventh-round pick, gave Detroit
the lead for good with a 96-yard
kickoff return.
Quarterback Jake Rudock,
the Lions’ sixth-round pick, later led an 11-play, 74-yard scoring drive. Rudock, who finished
8 of 11 for 72 yards and a score,
hit Jace Billingsley with a 27yard touchdown on third-and-9.
The Steelers sat Ben Roethlisberger, running backs
Le’Veon Bell and DeAngelo Williams, wide receivers Antonio
Brown and Markus Wheaton,
and center Maurkice Pouncey.
First-round pick cornerback
Artie Burns missed the game
with a nagging thigh injury,
while linebackers Bud Dupree
and Jarvis Jones — former
first-round picks — also sat out.
Detroit’s Matthew Stafford
went 4 of 6 for 58 yards in his
only series. Stafford converted three third downs — one a
30-yard pickup to the newly
acquired Anquan Boldin — before James Harrison’s sack and
forced fumble halted the drive.
Lions tight end Eric Ebron,
who suffered an undisclosed injury to his lower right leg last
week, was in street clothes.
Cornerback Darius Slay missed
Wednesday’s practice and sat
out Friday’s game. Starting
running back Ameer Abdullah and defensive tackle Haloti
Ngata were also out.
Doran Grant opened the
scoring when he picked off Dan
Orlovsky’s throw and returned
the interception 39 yards. Steelers receiver Darrius HeywardBey made it 14-3 in the second
quarter when he hauled in a
29-yarder in the corner of the
end zone from Landry Jones.
Jones finished 6 of 12 for 55
yards and a score.
Andre Roberts scored on
a 28-yard pass from Orlovsky
before the two-minute warning. Orlovsky finished 16 of 25
for 164 yards with a touchdown
and an interception.
ROOKIE WATCH
Lions: First-round pick
Taylor Decker struggled in his
preseason debut. Decker committed a holding penalty on
third-and-2 from the Pittsburgh
17 and was beaten on the next
snap by Harrison, which resulted in the sack and forced fumble
recovered by the Steelers.
Steelers: Second-round pick
Sean Davis settled in after a
shaky start. Davis, a safety
out of Maryland, was elevated
to first-team slot cornerback
when Senquez Golson suffered
a Lisfranc mid-foot injury. He
missed a tackle during the
opening drive that led to a 30-
yard gain and later committed
a 15-yard penalty, but he also
snuffed out a screen pass in the
red zone that ultimately forces
Detroit to settle for a field goal.
Davis started the second half at
safety.
POSITION BATTLES
Lions: Rafael Bush started
at strong safety and is the frontrunner for the starting job next
to Glover Quin. Bush played
just one game last season for
New Orleans, suffering a torn
pectoral muscle. Tavon Wilson,
a backup in New England, and
Isaiah Johnson, who played six
games last season, are also in
the mix.
Steelers: Alejandro Villanueva got the start and played
two series in his battle with
Ryan Harris at left tackle. Villanueva was called for a 10-yard
penalty on third-and-3 during
the first drive that ended in a
punt. Devin Taylor beat Villanueva for a sack on the first play
of the ensuing drive, which also
ended with a punt. Harris, who
has alternated with Villanueva, started all 19 games at left
tackle for Denver last season.
INJURY UPDATE
Lions: Linebacker Zaviar
Gooden suffered a head injury
in the third quarter.
Steelers: Backup quarterback Bruce Gradkowski left
at the end of the third quarter
with a left hamstring injury.
Safety Ross Ventrone (right
hamstring) left in the first quarter, while lineman Brian Mihalik suffered a left knee injury.
FUMBLED AWAY
Steelers’ second-year wide
receiver Sammie Coates has impressed during training camp
practices, but he fumbled twice
against the Lions. He bobbled a
pass to start a second-quarter
drive and fumbled two plays
later, which led to a Lions field
goal. Coates fumbled later in
the game on an end-around.

Another scare: US men’s
basketball team edges Serbia 94-91 $100 million contract with Cavs
RIO DE JANEIRO
(AP) — Written in Portuguese on one wall above
center court at Carioca
Arena is the phrase “Um
mundo novo.” Translation:
A new world.
It didn’t seem that way
in men’s basketball to start
the Rio Games, but it’s getting closer.
Threatened by Australia in its previous game, the
U.S. men’s team started
fast but had to survive a
heart-racing final seconds
to beat Serbia 94-91 on Friday, the 49th consecutive
international tournament
win for the Americans.
This one, though, took
everything the U.S. team
had.
They couldn’t put away
the Serbs, who had a chance
to tie it in the final seconds
but guard Bogdan Bogdanovic’s 3-pointer from the
left wing was a little long
and Kevin Durant secured
the rebound to keep the
relieved Americans’ streak
intact.
Kyrie Irving scored
15 points and Durant and
Carmelo Anthony had 12
apiece for the U.S. team,
which arrived in Brazil
being lauded as another
American super squad and
gold-medal lock. However,
after a close call against
Australia earlier this week
and now another against
Serbia, the rest of the field
might be starting to believe
the Americans can be taken.
“We got in our own
heads,” Durant said. “We
had a great start, great
start. We were up almost
20 points. We should have
held the lead and we just
got sidetracked by stupid stuff, from the calls to
the physicality, the extra
plays. We got to stay with
it. That’s the way it’s going
to be out here.”
Nikola Jokic scored 25,
Milos Teodosic 18 and Miloslav Raduljica 18 before
fouling out for the Serbs,
who fell to 1-3 but left Carioca Arena feeling confident
after taking the Americans
down to the final ticks.
It was the first Olympic game between the nations, and a rematch of the
2014 Basketball World Cup
championship won by the
U.S. 129-92. However, this
never resembled that track
meet as the Serbs slowed
the tempo and forced the
Americans into turnovers
and rushed possessions.
The world’s best team certainly didn’t play like it for
long stretches and just may
not be the gold-medal lock
many predicted.
The U.S., which will
wrap
up
preliminaryround play against France
on Sunday, led 94-87 with
2:11 left on a basket by Anthony. But the Serbs got
a basket by Jokic and two
free throws Teodosic to get
within three.
Durant, who only attempted four shots, misfired with eight seconds
left giving Serbia one last
chance. After a timeout, the
ball wound up with Bogdanovic, who had a great look
from 22 feet but was just off
the mark.
Pitt-Bradford names former player
Zach Foster as new head baseball coach
BRADFORD – The
University of Pittsburgh
at Bradford didn’t have to
go far to find its next head
baseball coach.
Bradford native and
former University of Pittsburgh at Bradford star
pitcher Zach Foster has
been named to take over the
position vacated by Brett
Butler, who stepped down
after this past season to assume full-time duties as the
university’s new director of
athletics.
Foster was born and
raised in Bradford and
played for Butler and the
Panthers from 2005-2008,

earning a Bachelor of Science degree in sport and
recreation management in
2012.
“I am so very pleased
Zach Foster has been
named the new head baseball coach at Pitt-Bradford,”
Butler said. “Zach was a
student here, student-athlete, alum, and most recently an admissions counselor and assistant baseball
coach.
“Zach is an excellent
baseball man, with much
experience from playing at
a high level, to all facets of
assistance coaching,” Butler added.
Foster brings a wealth
of playing experience to
his new position, having
played six years of professional baseball in the Pittsburgh Pirates minor league
system. He’s also been the
strength and conditioning
coach at Pitt-Bradford, and
was the top assistant on
this spring’s Panthers’ team
that reached the Allegheny
Mountain Collegiate Conference playoffs.
In 2008, he became the
first Pitt-Bradford player
and first AMCC athlete to
be drafted when the Pirates
called his name in the 49th
round.
Most recently, Foster
has worked in the university’s admissions office, a
position he’ll be leaving to
assume full-time duties as
head baseball coach.
He’ll be inheriting a
team that finished 13-26
overall and 6-10 in the
AMCC, but showed plenty
of promise with a late-season sweep over Penn StateAltoona and a tough twogame loss, 6-1 and 4-3 in
11 innings, to Penn StateBehrend in the conference
playoffs. The Panthers had
a roster this past spring
that included 14 freshmen
and seven sophomores and
just two seniors.
“Zach is going to do
well,” Butler said. “He has
an extensive knowledge in
the increasingly important
and vital area of strength
and conditioning. But, most
importantly, he is a high
character guy that the players will be fortunate to have
lead them. I am excited for
Pitt-Bradford baseball under his leadership.”
Butler,
meanwhile,
leaves the program after 18
seasons and a 344-287-1 record with three conference
championships, two NCAA
Division III tournament appearances, and three ECAC
tournament
showings,
twice as the No. 1 seed.

AP Sports Writer
LeBron James didn’t
waste any time signing
his new contract.
A day after agreeing
to a deal that can pay him
$100 million over the next
three seasons, the Cavaliers superstar signed it
Friday and will make $31
million next season.
James, who can become a free agent in the
third season, will make
$33 million in 2017-18, a
person familiar with the
deal told The Associated
Press. James’ 2018-19 option is worth $36 million,
said the person who spoke
on condition of anonymity
because financial terms
were not disclosed.
In his third season
back in Cleveland, James
led the Cavs to the title,
the first for one of the city’s
three professional sports
teams since the Browns
won the NFL championship in 1964.
“We are very fortunate to have a championship group together,” Cavs
general manager David
Griffin said. “One that
has grown organically to
trust, and sacrifice for one
another — on and off the
floor. At the core of that
group is LeBron. His leadership, passion and tireless commitment are the
hallmarks of our success
and have inspired our entire franchise.
“His connection and
dedication to his community and this fan base are
absolute. We share his
determination to win at
Dalton sharp,
but Vikings beat
Bengals 17-16
CINCINNATI (AP) —
Andy Dalton was sharp in
his return, leading the Cincinnati Bengals into field
goal range on his only drive
during the Minnesota Vikings’ 17-16 preseason victory Friday night.
Dalton’s season ended
at Paul Brown Stadium last
Dec. 13 when he broke the
thumb on his passing hand
while making a tackle during an interception return.
On Friday night, he completed his first four passes
for 32 yards. He threw too
high for A.J. Green on a
third-down play, and Mike
Nugent was wide right
on a 48-yard field goal attempt that ended the drive
and Dalton’s day.
The teams held joint
practices in Cincinnati
the last two days, with
the Vikings’ defense getting pressure on Dalton.
He had plenty of time to
complete quick throws in
his limited stint on Friday.
the highest level and can’t
wait to get back to work,
together to defend our title.”
The Cavs rallied from
a 3-1 deficit in the finals
to stun Golden State, winning Game 7 on the road.
Late in that game, James
raced back to block a shot
by Andre Iguodala, a rejection that has become
the signature play of the
three-time champion’s career.
James, who has spent
most of his time since winning his third title in Los
Angeles, posted a photo
of him signing the deal
on his Instagram account
with the caption “Committed!!” He’s seated next
to agent and close friend,
Rich Paul.
A four-time MVP and
12-time All-Star, James
averaged 25.3 points, 7.4
rebounds and 6.8 assists
last season. The 31-yearold shows little sign of
slowing down, and on
Thursday he said on a
Twitter posting he’s focused on the Cavs defending their title.
Appearing in his sixth
straight finals last season,
he averaged 29.7 points,
11.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists
and 2.3 blocks, becoming
the first player to lead a
series in every major statistical category.

Day 7 of Rio Olympics:
Ledecky outshines Phelps
RIO DE JANEIRO
(AP) — Katie Ledecky
even upstaged Michael
Phelps at the Olympics on
Friday.
Ledecky set a world record by winning the women’s 800-meter freestyle by
an astounding 11.38 seconds. She’s only the second
woman to sweep the three
longest freestyle races at
the Olympics and the first
one to do it since the 1968
Mexico City Games.
After winning four
gold medals at the Rio de
Janeiro Games and looking unbeatable, Phelps
finally ran out of steam
in what was the final individual race of his career —
unless he decides to come
out of retirement again.
The frenetic finishes in
the swimming pool capped
a day that included a big
escape by the U.S. men’s
basketball team and a
stunning loss by the women’s soccer squad.
Phelps was seeking his
23rd Olympic gold medal
and his fourth straight in
the 100-meter butterfly,
but he was denied by Singapore’s Joseph Schooling,
who got off to a blistering
start and built a lead that
even Phelps couldn’t overcome.
With Anthony Ervin
winning the men’s 50 freestyle and Maya DiRado
taking gold in the women’s
200 backstroke, the Americans would have had a
clean sweep were it not for
the silver by Phelps, the
most decorated Olympian
in history.
Ledecky finished well
before Jazz Carlin of Britain touched the wall for
silver. She joined Debbie
Meyer as the only women
to sweep the 200, 400 and
800 freestyle races at the
same Olympics.
The United States
women’s soccer team was
eliminated by Sweden in
the quarterfinals, a startling loss for the four-time
Olympic champions that
left Hope Solo without a
shot at gold but with plenty of bitterness.
The U.S. goalkeeper
criticized the Swedes for
the way they played in
beating the Americans
4-3 in a penalty shootout
following a 1-1 draw —
a result that means the
world’s top-ranked team
will miss out on an Olympic gold-medal match in
women’s soccer for the
first time.
Solo was angered by
Sweden’s defensive style
and branded the team a
“bunch of cowards.”
“The best team did
not win today,” she said.
“I strongly and firmly believe that.”
Said Sweden coach
Pia Sundhage, who once
coached Solo when she
was in charge of the U.S.
national team: “It’s OK to
be a coward if you win.”
Carmelo Anthony, Kyrie Irving & Co. survived
their
second
straight
strong challenge at the
Rio Games, fending off
Serbia 94-91 when Bogdan Bogdanovic missed
a 3-pointer from the left
wing with 2 seconds left
that would have tied it.
Kevin Durant grabbed
the rebound to keep the
Americans unbeaten 48
hours after they barely escaped against Australia.
On a day that began
with another round of
rain, South America’s first
Olympics lingered under
clouds of grief, doping and
disrespect.
—Brazil’s government
declared a day of official
mourning for a Rio Olympics police officer who
died after being shot in
the head making a wrong
turn into one of the city’s
slums.
—A Chinese swimmer,
Polish weightlifter and
Bulgarian steeplechaser
have been sanctioned for
doping offenses , which
are being handled by the
Court of Arbitration for
Sport for the first time.
—And in a serious
breach of judo etiquette
with political overtones,
an Egyptian judoka refused to shake the hand of
his Israeli opponent after
his loss.
Other highlights from
Day 7:
CLOSE CALLS :
Rafael Nadal, the singles
champion at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and Spain
teammate Marc Lopez
won the men’s doubles
title. Nadal also reached
the semifinals in his bid
for a second Olympic singles gold, overcoming his
Brazilian opponent and a
raucous flag-waving home
crowd.
BRONZE BOXER :
Nico Hernandez’s chance
for a gold medal ended
Friday when he lost to
Uzbekistan’s
Hasanboy
Dusmatov. With a gnarly
gash over his left eye,
Hernandez had blurred
vision and needed stitches. His consolation: his
bronze medal in the light
flyweight division ends
a medal drought for the
American boxers that
stretched to 2008.
PUIG’S PUSH : Tennis player Monica Puig is
one victory from Puerto
Rico’s first gold medal in
Olympic history. Puig continued her surprising run
by reaching the women’s
singles final, eliminating two-time Wimbledon
champion Petra Kvitova
of the Czech Republic 6-4,
1-6, 6-3. Puig is ranked
34th and unseeded but is
assured of no worse than
a silver medal.
AUTO ACCIDENT :
A German Olympic canoe
coach is fighting for his
life after a car accident
left him with serious head
injuries. Stefan Henze, a
canoe slalom silver medalist at the 2004 Games,
underwent
emergency
surgery in a Rio de Janeiro hospital. He and a team
official were heading to
the athletes village when
their taxi was in a wreck.
THE SWAMP : In another embarrassment for
the Maria Lenk Aquatics
Center, a planned practice
session had to be called off
to give officials more time
to clean the green-tinged
water — a four-days-andcounting scenario that
prompted American diver
Abby Johnson to dub it
“the Swamp.”
Cubs win 11th straight, Szczur
hits 2 HRs to rout Cardinals
CHICAGO (AP) —
Matt Szczur hit two home
runs and the Chicago Cubs
won their 11th straight
game, backing Jake Arrieta and battering Adam
Wainwright to rout the St.
Louis Cardinals 13-2 on
Friday.
Willson
Contreras
launched a three-run shot
to cap a five-run second inning, and Javier Baez and
Jorge Soler also went deep
to make things easy for
Arrieta (14-5).
The Cubs’ winning
streak is their longest
since a 12-game run in
2001. They pulled 14
games ahead of scuffling
St. Louis in the NL Central and improved the best
record in the majors to 7341.
Szczur and Kris Bryant each had three hits.
The Cubs roughed up
Wainwright (9-7) for seven
runs and chased him after two innings, tying his
shortest outing in 245 career starts.
Arrieta pitched one-

DEAR ANNIE®
COPYRIGHT 2016 CREATORS SYNDICATE, INC.
Dear Annie: For almost a year
now, I have been a caregiver to my
elderly mother and her husband. My
mother has dementia, but she really is
no trouble to care for. The problem is her
husband. He is demanding, controlling
and just plain mean. It doesn’t matter
what I do; in his mind, it’s not right. And
I get blamed for things that I didn’t even
do.
When I was asked to move in, I
had grave reservations about doing so.
Everybody thought it was a great idea,
except one sister, who has also endured
this abuse. I could handle this a lot easier if the man were my father, but we’re
only related by marriage. He has grown
children, but they don’t live close by, so
that doesn’t help the situation.
I have a son, and the old man delights in teasing him until he cries. How
do you explain to a young child why
Grandpa is mean? (I suspect he wasn’t
too nice to his own children, hence the
reason they don’t come around very
much).
Whenever company visits, he is
on his best behavior, but as soon as they
leave, he’s back to being nasty. I live upstairs and only come downstairs to fix
meals and to clean the kitchen. I have
resorted to ignoring him, but the final
straw came when he complained that I
should be paying rent. When they asked
me to move in, I asked how much rent
they wanted me to pay and was told that
in exchange for being there for them, I
could live there rent-free.
I am at my wits’ end. It has come to
the point where I actually hate the man.
My siblings and I have checked into
assisted living, but we don’t think our
mother will leave her home, so I’m stuck
caring for the old tyrant. At this point in
C R O S SWO R D
time, because of various reasons, I can’t
move. I’m tired of walking on eggshells
and waiting for the next tirade. What do I
do now? -- Had Enough in the Midwest
Dear Had Enough: Your stepfather’s behavior toward your son is a billowing red flag. A classic bully, he has
decided to prey upon the weakest, most
vulnerable one around. For now, that’s
your son, but eventually, it will be your
mother. Thank goodness she has you
looking out for her.
Unless your stepfather is being
outright abusive, you’d have trouble
getting Adult Protective Services to intervene. For now, your best option might
be to continue keeping a close eye on
the situation. If it’s financially feasible,
consider renting an apartment nearby
so your son doesn’t live in that environment, and pool funds with your siblings
to hire a part-time or overnight caretaker
to help out. Visit the National Committee
for the Prevention of Elder Abuse website for more information, at http://www.
preventelderabuse.org.
Dear Annie: I have a rather
strange situation and am not sure how
it should be handled in the future. I have
a 3-year-old granddaughter, who is very
pretty. I’m not saying this to be conceited, but everywhere she goes people notice. We’ve had a couple of instances of
strangers taking pictures of her on their
phones. We are very uncomfortable with
this. Why would someone want a photo
of a stranger’s child? I’m quite terrified
that one will end up plastered all over
the internet for who knows what reason.
Would it be offensive to ask them not to
do this? -- Concerned Grandma
Dear Concerned: Although it’s not
illegal, it’s inappropriate and invasive for
strangers to take photos of your granddaughter. You’d be well within your
rights as a concerned grandma to ask
them to stop.

YOUR INDIVIDUAL HOROSCOPE
For Sunday, Aug. 14, 2016 - by Francis Drake
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
This is a poor day for important,
mental work, because everything
is too confusing. Even your energy
is low. Just coast and take it easy.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
Romantic mishaps and misunderstandings are likely today, because conversations are like two
ships passing in the night. Even
communication with children is
confusing.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
Postpone home repairs, because
too many things can go wrong today. People are listless, confused
and tired. In addition, daily communication is clouded.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Don’t worry if you spend a lot of time
daydreaming or being lost in a fantasy
world. Many people are “adrift” today
because Mercury is opposite fuzzy
Neptune.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
This is a poor day to make important
decisions that impact your finances. If
shopping, double-check all your details.
Count your change and check your bills.
Keep your receipts.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
There is high degree of mental confusion
today. In part, this can be because you
have a heightened sensitivity to everything going on around you. It’s like too
many signals coming in. Go carefully.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Although there is a lot of confusion
today, you might be able to perceive
things subconsciously that you would
usually filter out. This might give you a
greater spiritual awareness of something today.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Don’t hold anyone to promises made
today, because it’s a confusing day.
Likewise, group discussions might be
just wishful thinking.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
This is not a good day to have important
discussions with bosses, parents and
VIPs. Postpone this sort of thing for another day. If you do talk to your boss, do
your best to clarify everything.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
This is an escapist day! You would like
to be somewhere else, free from the responsibilities of your daily world. Good
luck.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Don’t make decisions today about inheritances, shared property, mortgages
and loans, because you cannot be sure
of the facts. People are confused and
casual about important details. Not
good!
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
In discussions with partners and close
friends today, communications will be
difficult. Even if you try to speak clearly,
you might be misunderstood. (This is a
classic day to be swindled.)
YOU BORN TODAY You are friendly
and enthusiastic, and you have a
warm heart. You are charismatic because of your charm, your generous
spirit and your fast, insightful mind.
This year you will be a student and
a teacher. You will be excited as you
start to see the fruits of your efforts for
the past six years. Expect your wellearned rewards soon!

Magic Johnson, basketball player;

Jury finds soldier guilty in
death of girlfriend's mother
ALLENTOWN (AP) —
A soldier accused of killing
his then-14-year-old girlfriend's mother because
she disapproved of their relationship has been found
guilty of first degree murder.
It took the jury about
four hours to reach its verdict Friday in the trial of
Army Spc. Caleb Barnes,
The Morning Call of Allentown reported. First degree
murder carries a mandatory life sentence. Barnes
will be sentenced on Sept.
19.
During his testimony
Friday, Barnes placed the
blame squarely on the teen
Friday, telling jurors that
she committed the murder and his only role was
helping dispose of evidence
because she claimed to be
pregnant.
His testimony came
after Jamie Silvonek, now
15, took the stand for the
defense but told a wildly
different story that implicated him in the slaying.
Barnes, who's from El
Paso, Texas, is accused in
the stabbing death of Cheryl Silvonek in March 2015
in Pennsylvania because
she disapproved of his relationship with her daughter
because of their age difference. Barnes, now 22, was
21 at the time of the killing.
Jamie Silvonek had
agreed to testify against
Barnes as part of a plea
deal, but prosecutors rested
their case Thursday without calling her. Silvonek,
who was tried as an adult,
pleaded guilty in February
to first-degree murder and
criminal conspiracy and is
serving 35 years to life.
On Friday, in a twist,
the defense called her to
the stand, where she told
the court she was "inexorably, ineffably in love" with
Barnes, The Morning Call
reported.
The teen admitted urging Barnes via text to carry out the slaying so they
could continue their relationship.
"I believe what I did
was just as bad or worse
than the physical act," she
said. "I realized that I had
to do the right thing. That's
taking accountability for
my actions, something
your client has yet to do."
Silvonek
described
Barnes reaching for her
mother's throat from the
back seat of her SUV as
the woman parked in the
driveway of her home after
driving the couple to a concert in Scranton.
Silvonek, wearing a
beige jumpsuit and shackles, wiped away tears as
she talked about her mother, her voice cracking with
emotion. She stared at her
lap, her long blond hair
covering her face.
Barnes, in a suit and
tie, glared at Silvonek
while she testified, prompting a reprimand from the
judge.
Barnes later told the
court that Silvonek stabbed
her mother to death during
a fight after she revealed
she was pregnant. Senior
Deputy District Attorney
Jeff Dimmig called Barnes'
account "nonsense" that
slandered the girl.
Barnes said he had
fallen asleep in his Camaro parked outside the Silvoneks' house before heading back to Fort Meade in
Maryland, where he was
based. He was off-duty at
the time of the killing.
He said he was woken
up by Jamie Silvonek, covered in blood, banging on
the car window. She told
him her mother was dead
in the SUV, Barnes testified.
Dimmig
showed
Barnes the murder weapon. Barnes told the prosecutor it was a knife he had
left at the Silvoneks' home
the week before the killing
and he had never gotten
it back from his girlfriend,
according to Lehigh Valley
Live.
"You didn't pick this out
special?" Dimmig asked.
"That's a utility knife.
That's not a knife for killing someone," Barnes answered.
The jury began deliberations late Friday afternoon.
female went into her tent
alone.
She was later awoken
by Chaplain, who had come
into her tent, took all of his
clothes off except for his
boxers and got under the
blanket with the female.
At this point, Chaplain
allegedly began to make inappropriate sexual contact
with the victim by rubbing
and squeezing her butt and
her breast.
The victim then told
Chaplain to stop and texted another individual to
inform them that Chaplain
was in her tent.
The female also admitted that Chaplain had supplied her with several alcoholic beverages throughout
the day.
When the officers interviewed Chaplain on July
29, he denied any wrongdoing and stated that he did
enter the tent, not knowing
that the victim was located
inside.
As a result of the incident, various charges have
been filed in District Court
59-3-02, the office of Magisterial District Judge James
L. Martin.
Chaplain has been
charged with a felony count
of corruption of minors and
misdemeanor counts of indecent assault without the
consent of another, sell or
furnish liquor to a minor
and corruption of minors.
Chaplain is scheduled
for a preliminary hearing
Sept. 21 at 9 a.m. before
Martin.
Online court documents do not list a defense
attorney for Chaplain.
The
commonwealth
will be represented by the
Elk County District Attorney’s Office.
Assault
The owner of Lazy River Canoe Rental, identified
in the affidavit as “TM,”
told the officers that he
wanted Chaplain off of the
property and that Chaplain
was on the property earlier
in the day and left but later
returned intoxicated.
TM also told officers
that Chaplain provided
a known juvenile female
with alcohol before TM told
Chaplain to leave.
According to TM, after
being told to leave, Chaplain entered into the tent
where the juvenile female
was staying by herself.
To obtain more information, the officers then
interviewed the female victim, who reported to police
that she had met Chaplain
earlier that day and went
to cut wood with him.
After returning to Lazy
River with her friends, the

PHILADELPHIA
(AP) — A chance ride,
an hourlong conversation, and the generosity
of strangers are making
it possible for a Philadelphia Uber driver to go to
Rio to see his son compete in the Olympics.
Retired bus driver
Ellis Hill didn’t have the
money to fly to Brazil to
watch his son, shot putter Darrell Hill.
“I was content with
just staying home and
getting a good bag of popcorn and watching him
on TV,” he said.
But in late July, when
the Democratic National
Convention was in town,
he was fortunate to pick
up Liz Willock of Chicago
at the Philadelphia airport.
“There was an air of
love and peace,” he said.
“I met a lot of interesting people and delegates
from different states.”
Traffic
restrictions
and a slow drive to Willock’s hotel in New Jersey left plenty of time for
conversation.
Eventually
talk
turned to the Olympics.
Willock said she knew
one of the swimmers competing. Hill did her one
better and told her his
son, who was a track and
field star at Penn State,
was in the competitions.
Then Willock asked
Hill if he was able to go.
“When he told me he
couldn’t go to the Olympics in Rio, I just wondered how I would feel
as a parent of athletes,”
Willock said.
Within minutes, Willock asked Hill whether
he would go if she got
him plane tickets.
Hill was stunned.
“I said, ‘Whoa, I don’t
even know you,’” Hill
said. “She said, ‘No, no,
I believe it was meant
for you and I to meet because I just missed my
flight.’”
A GoFundMe page
was set up, and “literally within two days, we’d
raised the funds,” said
Willock, who works at a

concierge service arranging travel and accommodation for patients
participating in clinical

Over 150 people had
donated $8,200 by the
time Willock closed the
Send Darrell’s Dad to
Rio fundraiser — some of
them friends and classmates of Hill’s son, but
most complete strangers.
As well as booking
flights and making hotel
reservations, Hill had
to apply for a passport.
It will be his first trip
abroad.
Willock said she’s
happy to be able “to help
a stranger who’s no longer a stranger.”
“I’m sure we’ll be
friends for life now,” she
said.
Hill heads to Rio on
Monday. His son celebrates his 23rd birthday
Wednesday and competes
on Thursday.
“A lot of Americans
are getting gold, and I
hope he’s one of them,”
he said.
