HARRISBURG
–
State Reps. Matt Gabler
and
(R-Clearfield/Elk)
Tommy Sankey
(R-Clearfield/Cambria) on Wednesday joined
a bipartisan majority of
their House colleagues in
defeating Gov. Tom Wolf ’s
proposal to raise taxes on
Pennsylvanians. The governor’s plan, filed as an
amendment to House Bill
283, proposed increasing
the Personal Income Tax
(PIT) from 3.07 percent to
3.57 percent and imposing
severance tax on natural
gas drillers while using a
small portion of the taxes
to finance an expansion of
the state’s existing Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program.
Gabler and Sankey issued the following statement after the 127-73
vote:
“On the eve of the
100th day of the budget
impasse, our governor
must face the reality that
the tax increases necessary to feed his insatiable
appetite for unsustainable government spending does not have enough

Holtzhauser shares breast cancer recovery
By Amy Cherry
Staff Writer
As a medical professional, Jill
Holtzhauser described her breast
cancer diagnosis as “overwhelming because sometimes we say we
know too much.”
Jill explained going through
a range of different emotions after finding out she had invasive
breast cancer in December.
“I’m trying to help my patients go through their emotions and trying to get through
my own. I still want to be their
caregiver and their provider,” Jill
said. “I don’t want them to feel
like they have to take care of me.”
Jill is a registered technician
radiology and mammography
(R.T.R.M) lead stereotactic technologist at Penn Highlands Elk
working in the hospital’s Women’s Imaging Center where she
works with fellow breast cancer
patients on a daily basis.
The bond between Jill and
her patients has grown stronger
as a result of her diagnosis.
“There’s a few I’ve opened
up to. Most of the time I keep it
to myself, but I feel I can relate
much better to my patients,” she
described.
Jill’s positive attitude has no
doubt helped with her recovery.
She also emphasized the importance of having a sense of humor.

After losing her mother to
breast cancer, Renee Price of
Kane was seeking something
to keep her happy. She chose to
channel her love of photography
into something positive and that
would benefit other people.
This labor of love turned into
the Everyday We Wear PINK
Project in which Renee conducts
a complimentary photo shoot for
breast cancer patients and survivors.
“I am so excited to do this
for these women. I can feel my
mom guiding me every step of
the way,” Price said.
Survivors are also encour-
aged to share their stories with
Price who posts them on the
project’s Facebook page.
“I want people to know what
these women go through. That
it’s not just certain people,” Price
said, referring to her youngest client who is 37 years old.

For Wanda Geitner of Ridgway, a breast cancer diagnosis
was seemingly a sure thing.
“I had been going faithfully since I was 30 years old
because my whole family has
breast cancer, every woman
in my family,” Wanda said.
“My mother is gone now, but
she had been diagnosed many
years ago, all of my first cousins, and I was diagnosed eight
years ago.
‘The last first cousin was
six years ago, and now it starts
into the second generation
now, and I have two daughters
and thank God nothing yet.”
Wanda had a lumpectomy
and radiation in DuBois during her two years of treatment.
She credits her family,
friends and employer for their
support during her battle.
“I had so many friends that
were there all the time, a lot of

Gorman winning unimaginable battle with breast cancer
By Amy Cherry
Staff Writer
With an army of support behind her, Amy Gorman of St.
Marys was determined to fight
her battle with breast cancer
with all she had. That decision
paid off as she completed treatment in February.
Amy’s battle began on July
11, 2014 when she was diagnosed
with breast cancer. She was 45.
Having already lost her husband, Russ, to cancer in 1993,
Amy said the diagnosis was
shocking news.
“I thought I already went
through the cancer world, I didn’t
think I’d have to face it again,”
she said.
A few months earlier on April
Fools' Day, Amy discovered a
lump in her breast. It was only
at the end of June that she made
an appointment with Paulette
Schreiber, CRNP at Penn Highlands Elk, who ordered she have
a mammogram.
On July 8, a biopsy was performed on the lump followed by a
lumpectomy done by the late Dr.
Joseph at PHE on July 24. During the surgery, some of Amy’s
lymph nodes were removed to determine if the cancer had spread,
which it had as three of her
lymph nodes were cancerous.

18 years strong for Ginny Schneider of St. Marys
By Joseph Bell
Daily Press Editor
It’s been 18 years for Ginny
Schneider of St. Marys since she
won her battle with breast cancer.
A long, hard 18 years.
“It’s hard to remember a lot
of the details because it was so
long ago but I’ll never get it out
of my system, and it caused me
to have a very bad nervous problem,” she said. “I’m afraid that
it might come back and there’s
nothing you can do to stop it, and
it’s been 18 years but every single
time I go for a mammogram, then
I talked to my husband about doing this interview and thought
that I hope I don’t jinx myself.”
Ginny initially knew she had
a troublesome lump, but she “ignored it,” and she says “I should
never have done that.”
“But 18 years ago, it wasn’t
out in the open like it is nowadays, it just wasn’t talked about
as much,” Ginny said. “You went
to the doctor, he examined your
breasts and you went from there.
I went to the doctor and I told
him that I had this lump, and he
told me my breasts were smooth
but to get a mammogram just in
case.”
Even before she had the
mammogram, Ginny said she
recalls having no question in
her mind that “it was going to
show that I had cancer because
of the shape of my breast and the

Pittsburgh City Council seeks
to ban drones from city parks

A group of St. Marys women are shown sporting their pink attire prior to a recent Penn State
football game. The ladies have been showing their pink pride for breast cancer awareness at PSU
games for the past six years. They began their pink crusade to show support after their friend
Janine McCullough was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was the group’s goal to get McCullough
out of the house and enjoy time with her girlfriends, which prompted their slogan “Girlfriends fighting Together!” Throughout the years the group realized their impact on the PSU community when
women and men would approach them and share their stories with them, which they are always
happy to hear.

support from Pennsylvanians to become law. The
reasons for opposing it are
obvious.
“First, taxpayers have
told us they cannot afford
to pay 16 percent more in
Personal Income Tax. We
agree they should not be
forced to accept this government-mandated cut to
their salaries. Furthermore, we believe taxpayers should not be subjected to the bait-and-switch
aspect of this plan’s Property Tax and Rent Rebate
provision that calls on
Pennsylvanians to pay
$1,400 more in income
taxes for every $84 that is
given back. No attempt to
disguise this tax increase
will change the reality
that it would hurt middleclass working families.
“Second, this is a
proposal that would kill
jobs. The severance tax
contained in this bill
would create an effective tax rate on natural
gas of more than over 14
percent - much higher
than any other state.
This would undoubtedly
push the natural gas industry to accelerate its
movement of rigs out of
Pennsylvania. While we
have no doubt that drilling companies would continue creating jobs and
making money in other
states like Ohio and West
Virginia, what would that
mean for our local familyowned businesses that
simply can’t pick up and
move? What about the
people who work for local
suppliers, trucking companies, hotels and restaurants who depend on the
gas industry? Crossing
the state line for greener
pastures is not an option
for them.
“Despite the huge effective tax rate on this
natural gas proposal, it
still does not raise the
sort of money necessary to
fund the governor’s irre-
sponsible spending levels.
Economic reality makes it
the worst of both worlds
– a huge job-killing tax
that still provides minimal revenue. 95 percent
of the money in the Wolf
tax package would come
from hard-working people
who pay Pennsylvania’s
Personal Income Tax.
“This proposal was

Big northwestern Pennsylvania
employer warns of layoffs
ERIE (AP) — One of
the largest employers in
northwestern Pennsylvania says it'll reduce
its workforce through
retirements and layoffs.
The
Erie
TimesNews reports that Lord
Corp. isn't saying yet
how many jobs will be
cut or where. The North
Carolina-headquartered
conglomerate produces
materials for industries
including aerospace and
oil and gas production.
It employs about 3,000
worldwide.
But it says it's facing
difficult market conditions, including downturns in defense, agriculture, oil and gas and
construction, as well as
currency fluctuations.
Lord recently un-
veiled a new $100 million facility in suburban
Erie and has received
state tax breaks in exchange for retaining its
existing employment in
Erie and increasing the
local workforce.
The company was
founded in Erie more
than 90 years ago by
Hugh Lord.

were two of my strongest supporters through my journey" with
breast cancer.
neighbors, close friends
and relatives bringing
food and taking me for
my treatments, and at
the time I wasn’t married, J.R. [Geitner] and
I were just dating but
he was there for me constantly,” Wanda said.
“When I was going to
lose my hair, my girlfriend said,’ OK, let’s
get to DuBois and get
you a wig,’ We had moments that made this
easier.”
While many women
experience difficulty adjusting to the fact that
their hair will fall out
during cancer treatments, Wanda said she
probably wore the wig
twice, but the feeling
was just “too artificial.”
“I wish I looked good
in them now. Now I have
this stupid hair,” she
quipped with the wonderful survivor’s smile.
“I finally just got a few
beautiful scarves, and I
wore them all the time,
I loved them, and people would tell me that I
looked so nice.”
While many patients
are in need of counseling after the harrowing
experience of fighting
breast cancer, Wanda
said she bypassed it all
as the breast cancer diagnosis was “expected.”
“I felt I was destined
for it,” she said. “My
mother lived with it
and died 25 years later
from a heart attack, not
breast cancer. I got it,
dealt with it, and said
‘I’m not going to die
from it,’ and neither did
my mom, or my aunts,
and I’d just do what I
had to do.”
The difficulty in undergoing constant treatment also wears down
on the body. Wanda said
she was extremely lucky
to be able to miss an extensive period of time at
work.
"I can't stress how
grateful I was to my
employer for giving me
all the time I needed,"
she said. "It was never a problem when I
was going through my
radiation to have to
leave early every day
for six weeks. I had all
the time off I needed
with my chemo. They
worked entirely around
my schedule. I work for
a wonderful company,
having been employed
with them now for almost 22 years."
While she recalls
breast cancer being a
"very scary thing," she
says it "will not win."
"Breast cancer is
95 percent curable if
caught in the early
stages, such as mine,"
Wanda said. "I do however live my life different than I did before the
diagnosis. I never take a
day for granted any longer. I make the best of
every day. So being diagnosed is not the end,
it is just the beginning
of a whole new life."

‘It Is Only A
Passing Cloud’
Facing death and talking about it I imagine is
no small task. I myself
don’t know for sure…but
listening to someone share
their experiences battling
breast cancer in itself is
uncomfortable. I’m truly
thankful, nonetheless, for
the opportunity.
As I wish to make journalism a lifelong career, I
struggle to find the words
to describe how I feel
about the many breast
cancer survivors I’ve been
privileged to meet.
They hope their cancer
is “only a passing cloud”
before the sun shines
again.
They are courageous.
Scared. Uplifting. Depressing. Inspiring.
I was blessed earlier
this week to be able to
conduct an interview session with several cancer
survivors in the area; but
unfortunately, I had one
empty chair.
It’s not that Karen MacAfee wasn’t courageous,
enlightening or uplifting…
she truly was. There was,
however, a depressing fear
in her as she told me that
this “is going to kill me.”
I met Karen in October
of last year as fellow cancer survivor Patty Greene
helped initiate a meeting
between the three of us
in an effort to create an
extensive survivors story
for the newspaper.
It was my wish to sit
down with Karen again
this year as we began to
make scheduling preparations for our “Pink Paper”
that you’re now holding in
your hands.
Karen tragically didn’t
make it back to my interview table; she died earlier
this year, April 27, at just
43 years old. It’s a somber
feeling reading the obituary of someone you knew,
far worse at such a young
age.
At the time, Karen left
behind her two daughters,
Abigail, who was 11 years
old when she lost her
mom, and Madeline, who
was just 8 at the time.
Karen was a kind and
gentle soul, big heart, and
a great love for animals.
She had spent an innumerable number of
hours volunteering at the
humane society.
As I sat with Karen
and Patty at this time
last year, I recognized
the difficulty in talking
to someone about facing
death, and quite frankly, I
struggled with the subject matter. Patty tells
me that it is not a “death
Joseph
Bell
Managing
Editor
sentence,” and that many
forms of cancer, and particularly breast cancer, are
now “more treatable than
ever.” The fact remains
that it is still cancer, and
that continues to be a distressing term, and a scary
reality.
And Karen knew this
far too well. Initially
diagnosed in October of
2012, she battled in what
became an "everyday
process." The breast cancer, initially classified at
Stage 2, had reappeared
in Karen's liver and lungs,
and metastasized. Another
aggressive round of chemotherapy seemed to wipe
out the cancer from the
liver, but it soon returned.
"I never thought it was
something that would
happen to me," Karen told
me. "I can get rid of it but
it will come back. It will
spread to the point where
I'll more or less be sent
home."
Patty had taken Karen
to a doctor’s appointment
as she neared the end of
her far-too-short life. At
the time, Patty recalls
Karen being rather positive, thinking she had the
disease beat…she did
her chemotherapy, then
discovered the cancer was
in her other breast, and
shortly afterward, her doctors found the cancer had
spread to her liver.
Tragically, Karen never
recovered and left us
sooner than she should
have.
As each person passes
by, you never quite know
the battles they’re fighting or the invisible crosses
they carry. I’m blessed to
have been permitted but a
small glimpse of Karen's
life and her fight.
As we continue to work
toward promoting breast
cancer awareness…and
all cancers in fact…I’m
reminded that we hope
the diseases are “only a
passing cloud,” and that
in time, the sun will still
come out.

Grace Lee Boggs: A Century of Grass-Roots Organizing
Grace Lee Boggs died
this week at the age of
100. "She left this life as
she lived it: surrounded by
books, politics, people and
ideas," said her friends
and caretakers, Shea Howell and Alice Jennings.
Grace Lee Boggs was not
only a grass-roots organizer, but a philosopher, a
teacher and a revolutionary. She devoted her life to
empowering the poor, the
working class and communities of color, and was
deeply involved with a constellation of movements,
from civil rights and black
power to labor, environmental justice and feminism. She lived for more
than 60 years in Detroit,
and witnessed that city
transform from the world
capital of the automobile
industry, through social
protest and unrest in the
1960s, to the post-industrial era, where, behind the
crumbling facade of empty
factories, myriad experiments in urban renewal
and local self-reliance are
incubating.
"You don't choose the
times you live in, but you
do choose who you want
to be, and you do choose
how you want to think,"
she told a group of undergraduates in the film
about her life, "American
Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs."
This remarkable woman
lived that credo for a full
century.
Grace Lee Boggs was
born in 1915, the child
of Chinese immigrants,
above the family's restaurant in Providence, Rhode
Island. By 16, she was
at Barnard College, and
by the age of 25 had her
Ph.D. in philosophy from
Bryn Mawr. I asked her
how she became an activist:
"In those days, even
department stores would
come out and say, 'We
don't hire Orientals,'" she
told me. With her doctorate in hand, she moved to
Chicago, where, she said,
"I got a job in the philosophy library for $10 a week
... it wasn't enough to get a
place to live, other than [a]
basement, rent-free. I had
to face down a barricade
of rats in order to get to
the basement. That made
me rat-conscious, made
me join a tenants' committee against rat-infested
housing, which brought
me into contact with the
black community for the
first time in my life, and
enabled me to become part
of the March on Washington movement organized
by A. Philip Randolph."
We should thank those
Chicago rats for spurring
her to action. The "March
on Washington" she mentioned was not the wellknown march from 1963,
where Martin Luther
King Jr. gave his famous
"I Have a Dream" speech,
but rather the 1941 March
on Washington. The
renowned labor leader A.
Philip Randolph, along
with the gay, black pacifist
Bayard Rustin, both of
whom would later lead the
famous 1963 march, organized a similar march two
decades earlier. In 1940,
they saw that domestic
war production was lifting
hundreds of thousands of
white workers out of the
prolonged poverty of the
Great Depression, but, as
most production plants
were segregated, was leaving black workers behind.
The movement they built
forced President Franklin
Roosevelt to integrate the
plants involved in building
the arms for World War
II. This helped spur the
great migration of AfricanAmericans from the Jim
Crow South to the industrial cities of the North.
Grace Lee Boggs married, but not the first
man who proposed to her.
He was Kwame Nkrumah, who met Grace
in 1945, while studying
in the United States. He
would return to Africa
and become the founding
president of Ghana. Grace
would say of his proposal,
"I was completely taken
by surprise ... I declined
because I couldn't imagine
myself being politically
active in a country where I
was totally ignorant of the
history, geography and culture." Nkrumah said later,
"If Grace had married me,
we would have changed all
Africa."
Instead, she changed
America. Ultimately,
Grace would marry autoworker Jimmy Boggs, and
they formed an intellectual
and organizing team that
became legendary in Detroit. "Jimmy came out of
the Deep South," she told
me. "He had a sense of the
agricultural epoch. Then
he came and worked in the
plant and had a sense of
the industrial epoch.
"Detroit, which was once
the symbol of miracles of
industrialization and then
became the symbol of the
devastation of deindustrialization," Grace Lee
Boggs explained, "is now
the symbol of a new kind
of society, of people who
grow their own food, of
people who try and help
each other, to how we begin to think, not so much
of getting jobs and advancing our own fortunes, but
how we depend on each
other. I mean, it's another
world that we're creating
here in Detroit."
She founded Detroit
Summer in 1992, to bring
young people together to
work on innovative urban renewal. The fruits
of her labor continue to
grow around the city, with
urban farms, microenterprises and a focus on the
local economy.
Grace Lee Boggs lived a
life that spanned a century, from World War I
through the digital age.
Young people flocked to
meet her at her home,
now the Boggs Center to
Nurture Community Leadership, following in her
footsteps, learning, as she
said, that "the only way to
survive is by taking care of
one another."

Today in History
Today is Friday, October
9, the 282nd day of 2015.
There are 83 days left in
the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On October 9, 1940, rockand-roll legend John Lennon was born in Liverpool,
England. (On this date in
1975, his son, Sean, was
born in New York.)
On this date:
In 1514, Mary Tudor, the
18-year-old sister of Henry
VIII, became Queen consort
of France upon her marriage to 52-year-old King
Louis XII, who died less
than three months later.
In 1914, the Belgian city
of Antwerp fell to German
forces during World War I.
In 1934, King Alexander
I of Yugoslavia was assassinated in Marseille, France,
by a Macedonian gunman.
In 1946, the Eugene
O'Neill drama "The Iceman Cometh" opened at
the Martin Beck Theater in
New York.
In 1958, Pope Pius XII
died at age 82, ending a
19-year papacy. (He was
succeeded by Pope John
XXIII.)
In 1967, Latin American
guerrilla leader Che Guevara was killed by the Bolivian army a day after he
was captured.
In 1975, Soviet scientist
Andrei Sakharov (AHN'-
dray SAHK'-ah-rawf) was
awarded the Nobel Peace
Prize.
In 1985, the hijackers
of the Achille Lauro (ahKEE'-leh LOW'-roh) cruise
liner surrendered two days
after seizing the vessel in
the Mediterranean. (Passenger Leon Klinghoffer
was killed by the hijackers
during the standoff.)
In 1995, a sabotaged section of track caused an Amtrak train, the Sunset Limited, to derail in Arizona;
one person was killed and
about 80 were injured (the
case remains unsolved).
In
2009,
President
Barack Obama was named
the recipient of the 2009
Nobel Peace Prize for what
the Norwegian Nobel Committee called "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen
international
diplomacy
and cooperation between
peoples."
Ten years ago: Dozens
of foreign tourists fled devastated lakeside Mayan
towns as Guatemalan officials said they would abandon communities buried by
landslides caused by Hurricane Stan and declare them
mass graveyards. A driverless Volkswagen Touareg,
designed by Stanford University, won a $2 million
race across the rugged Nevada desert, beating four
other robot-guided vehicles
that completed a Pentagonsponsored contest aimed at
making warfare safer for
humans. Actor-comedian
Louis Nye died in Los Angeles at age 92.
One year ago: Six U.S.
military planes arrived in
the Ebola hot zone with
more Marines as West African leaders pleaded for the
world's help in dealing with
what Sierra Leone President Ernest Bai Koroma
described as "a tragedy unforeseen in modern times."
French novelist Patrick
Modiano was named the
recipient of the Nobel
Prize in literature. Pulitzer
Prize-winning poet Carolyn
Kizer, 89, died in Sonoma,
California.

Pa. Lottery seeks
drawing show witnesses
MIDDLETOWN
–
Singer Marvin Gaye famously asked, “Can I get
a witness?” Today, anyone
old enough to remember
that hit song from 1963 is
very likely the right age
to volunteer as a witness
on the Pennsylvania Lottery’s evening drawing
show.
“Serving as a drawing show witness is more
than just a chance to be
on TV; witnesses represent the public interest
by helping to ensure the
security and integrity of
our drawings,” said Lottery Executive Director
Drew Svitko. “We sincerely appreciate the
participation of all of our
witnesses since we started televising drawings 38
years ago.”
Pennsylvania
residents 55 or older are invited to volunteer. Witnesses perform different
functions on two consecutive evenings, which
includes appearing oncamera on one of the
nights. The process lasts
approximately 2.5 hours,
from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.,
each night.
Witnesses work with
two Pennsylvania Lottery drawing officials,
who will directly perform
all drawing tasks, and
two independent Certified Public Accountants
(CPAs), who will monitor
all tasks to ensure that
all procedures are properly performed and security standards are met.
Over the two nights,
witnesses directly participate in the selection
of the drawing machines
and ball sets used for
drawings, observe all
pre-drawing and postdrawing tests and appear

Wolf orders insurers to
cover medically debated
3-D mammograms
Gov. Tom Wolf's administration announced
Monday that Pennsylvania insurers must cover
3-D mammograms at no
cost to women, increasing access to technology
that has shown promise
for women with dense
breasts but has yet to
receive full support from
the medical community.
The change occured
because the administration determined a law
requiring insurers to
pay for "mammographic
examinations" applies
to 3-D scans in the same
way the law applies to
traditional scans, said
Pennsylvania Insurance
Department spokesman
Ronald Ruman.
The change is effective immediately, Ruman said.
"A mammogram is
a mammogram, and a
3-D mammogram is covered," he said.
Pennsylvania
law
has required insurers to
pay all costs for mammograms since 1992.
First Lady Frances Wolf
announced the change
at
a
Pennsylvania
Breast Cancer Coalition meeting in Harrisburg. Until now, women
had to pay $50 to $60 to
get the 3-D test instead
of the traditional test,
according to the governor's office.
Women with dense
breasts have an increased risk of cancer,
and cancer is more difficult to detect in dense
breasts than in breasts
that aren't dense using
standard mammograms,
said Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo,
co-vice
chairwoman of the Preventive Services Task
Force and a University
of California San Francisco School of Medicine
professor.
But more research
is needed before the
task force can recommend women with dense
breasts
receive
3-D
screening, Bibbins-Domingo said. In a draft
recommendation issued
in April, the task force
said evidence is insufficient for it to recommend for or against 3-D
screening for women
with dense breasts.
"Unfortunately, the
science is not there to
tell us exactly what
types
of
additional
screening
modalities
help us detect cancer
in women with dense
breasts,"
Bibbins-Domingo said.
More sensitive tests
are more likely to falsely identify signs of cancer, potentially causing
anxiety and promoting
overtreatment of patients, she said.
But the type of certainty the task force
seeks likely won't be
available for years, said
Dr. William Poller, director of breast imaging at Allegheny Health
Network.
Poller said he has
been pressing insurance
companies to pay for the
3-D technology, known
as tomosynthesis.
"The earlier you can
find the cancer, the better off you are," he said.
The 3-D technology
allows doctors to view
breast tissue in layers,
like slices from loaves of
bread, rather than just
one image of the whole
breast, Poller said.
Western Pennsylvania insurers Highmark
Inc. and UPMC Health
Plan said they would
comply with the requirement.
Ruman
said
the
state is trusting doctors
to determine when a patient should receive a
3-D mammogram.
"What we are really relying on are the
medical professionals,"
he said. "If a doctor believes that this is the
proper procedure for
a given patient, then
we're going to follow the
direction of the medical
professional."

Amazon challenges Etsy with Handmade at Amazon
NEW YORK (AP) —
Amazon is launching its
site for handcrafted goods
called Handmade at Amazon on Thursday, hoping
to capitalize on shoppers'
appetite for homemade
goods ahead of the holiday
season.
The
move
throws
down the gauntlet to craftselling site Etsy. But at
least at the time of launch,
the two sites will have a
very different seller base,
fee structure and stances
on manufacturing.
Amazon started offering invitations in May
to join Handmade, giving
sellers access to Amazon's
285 million shoppers. The
Seattle-based
retailer
says the site, which will
carry everything from
$30 walnut cufflinks from
Australia to $325 handmade quilts from Wisconsin, sprang from customer
feedback and site searches
for crafty items.
"We had thousands of
searches every day from
customers looking for
handmade or handcrafted
items," said Peter Faricy,
vice president for Amazon
Marketplace.
That focus also pits it
directly against Etsy Inc.,
which started 10 years
ago as a marketplace for
homemade goods and
went public in April. But
they're a bit different in

At launch, Handmade
at Amazon will include
about 5,000 sellers from
50 states and 60 countries
offering 80,000 items. Amazon takes a 12 percent fee
from overall sales made
by Handmade at Amazon
sellers and includes payment processing, discounted shipping and access to
other Amazon services.
There's no listing fee or
monthly fee to start.
In contrast, New Yorkbased Etsy has 1.5 million
sellers and 21.7 million
buyers as of June 30. It
takes a 3.5 percent fee on
overall sales and a 20 cent
listing fee per item listed.
They also differ in
terms of manufacturing
policy. Amazon says sellers have to fill out an online application to be approved to sell on the site
and all items sold on the
site must be "factory-free"
and not made by manufacturers.

In case you haven’t noticed, life is tough.
Bad things happen to good people. Life, in spite
of what you might have been told, is not fair.
Living happily ever after only happens in fairytales. Movies may have happy endings, but life
often doesn’t.
Today it’s raining. For some it represents
gloom and doom. The dreariness of the dark
and cold day, coupled with the rain is depressing for some. I’m not one of those people. I actually enjoy the rain. In fact sometimes I like to
walk in it, or sit on a porch and watch it. I’m
sure I’m not alone, as I’ve met others who share
my quirkiness. It’s a peaceful sort of day, one
where curling up on the couch with a good book
would seem appropriate. Yet while I’m sitting in
a warm house there are others who are outside
having to work in the rain. Cold and miserable,
they are enduring hardship out of necessity, just
to meet the needs of life.

JOY? WHAT’S THAT?
By Pastor B.J. Knefley
FLEMING & HAINES, INC.
I’ve learned something in my lifetime. Joy
can be found even in the most difficult times. Jesus, for the joy that was set before him, endured
the cross, (Hebrews 11:2). Joy is something I
can lean into. It is part of hope, which translates into faith.
I’ve met people who have learned to move
through the many trials of life with joy. Not the
happy, jubilant and hallelujah chorus type of joy
but rather the steadfast internal joy that propels us forward through the trials of this life.
They choose it, because it can be chosen. People
often don’t think of joy as something that can be
chosen, but it can. Just as other things can be
chosen. We must remember that the more we
chose a behavior, the easier it will be to fall into
it again. When we give into the negative selftalk, we can perpetuate and spiral down into
the pit of despair. We can have great expectations for our life, but not see how are choices are
affecting the outcome. Perhaps that’s why our
joy slips away. Think about it.

Fifteen local breast cancer patients and survivors gathered on Sunday for the Everyday We Wear
PINK photo shoot in St. Marys.

Continued from Page 1
“That’s scary and it can
happen to anybody and it
affects people in different
ways.”
On Sunday, Price
conducted a group photo
shoot on the grounds of
St. Joseph Monastery in
St. Marys.
Price coordinated the
event with Barb Schatz
of SMP Home Medical
where Schatz conducts
mastectomy fittings and
invited her clients to attend the photo shoot as a
promotion for breast cancer awareness month.
A group of 15 breast
cancer patients and survivors attended the event.
The sunny fall day was
the perfect backdrop for
the photo shoot where
women posed near a lifesize wooden pink ribbon.
They could also choose
from an array of props
including a large pink
frame, scarves, boas in
various shades of pink,
and more.
Price often witnesses
a transformation in women once the photo shoot
begins.
“It’s like a whole other personality comes out
when they are in front
of the camera,” she explained. “For me this is
the most rewarding thing
ever.”
Price’s coverage area
is currently concentrated
throughout western Pennsylvania and western New
York.
Whenever she and her
husband Bob Price travel
out of the area, Renee
posts her location on the
project’s Facebook page to
gauge interest if any women in that specific area are
interested in scheduling a
photo shoot.
Price will work with
each woman to choose a
location for the shoot. She
prefers outdoor locations
when possible due to the
natural lighting and scenery.
To date, Price has conducted nearly 20 photo
shoots with the largest
being on Sunday in St.
Marys.
The photo shoots typically are done on a one-onone basis.
Price provides each
woman with a flash drive
of their photos that they
may print for themselves.
“I would love for it to
go nationwide and even
global and have other photographers doing this for
these women,” Price said.
According to Price, her
mother, Dawn VanIderstine, struggled with breast
cancer for six years and
eventually lost her battle
on July 3, 2015.
Price explained that
her mom had wanted her
to do a photo shoot for her
but she never felt well
enough to do so.
“It’s my way of keeping her memory alive,”
Price said. “I don’t have
awesome photos of my
mom so I want these
women and their families
to have these beautiful
memories.”
The project is still in
its infancy stage as Price

That’s a big thing for me,” they are not fighting this
cancer did not run in my
family, but after it happened to me, it just exploded on my mom’s side
and my dad’s side of the
family,” she said. “I know
one still has it, and there
are second cousins as well.
I preach mammograms to
everybody.”
Sadly, 18 years ago,
there was not a significant presence of breast
cancer awareness versus
today. Much of that is due
to a stronger technology
presence through online
media and increased information available on
breast cancer awareness.
“Eighteen years ago
there was no support system for breast cancer,” she
said. “No groups, no nothing, and I thought I had
a death sentence. It’s so
important to have a group
and peers, people who
have had cancer talk to
you, much like this [interview session with fellow
breast cancer survivors],
informally, and just talk
to each other and share
what we all went through.
“It helps to know what
you can do to help yourself, and I did not have
that. I had my family and
their support, and they
were very supportive. My
employer was very supportive, my boss's wife
helped me a great deal,
and I was very emotional
at the time but they were
very supportive.”
Breast cancer survivor Patty Greene of
Kersey agreed with Ginny’s concerns over the
lack of a peer support system in the late 1990s.
“When Ginny was going through her battle,
at that time people were
very afraid of cancer in
general,” Patty said. “I
think because of that,
the awareness and support groups just weren’t
around yet. A lot of it
was fear, is it contagious,
things like that.”
With the lack of a wig
shop nearby in the late
1990s, Ginny had to rely
on her boss’s wife who
was a hairdresser.
“I’d wear it every day
to work but I’d go home
at noon for lunch and put
baby powder on it because
it was so hot. It was itchy
and just awful,” Ginny
said. “I burned my wig
and I was so happy to do
that. It was very therapeutic to get rid of that
wig but I still needed
counseling, and I still go
to counseling.”
When she was first diagnosed, Ginny said she
recalls a strong feeling of
anger aimed toward everyone.
Though visibly uncomfortable saying it,
Ginny was “angry with
God” as well.
“I couldn’t understand
why God would give me
cancer and it took me a
long time with therapy to
understand that he didn’t
just pick me out and say
‘You’ve got this cancer,’”
she said. “I was very angry.”
Finding humor in the
situation, however, Ginny
recalls how she “hated to
be around girls with long
hair.”
“They’d whip their
hair back and forth,”
she says laughing, “and
I wanted to go over and
cut it! Eventually you get
past that and that’s what
counseling has done for
me.”
But the road to getting back to the ebb and
flow of everyday life is
anything but normal. It
is, in fact, a difficult road
to travel; even after the
cancer is gone, the grave
thoughts remain.
“This is just my personal opinion, but even
Ginny
Continued from Page 1
changes in it.”
"At that time there
was a nurse who had gone
through the same thing
and I was taken into surgery within two days and
had a lumpectomy done,
and it showed it was cancer, and the following
week I had a complete
mastectomy,” she said. “I
had eight rounds of chemo
and then four rounds of a
different kind of chemo,
then 28 days of radiation,
all in DuBois.”
The bottom line for
Ginny, however, is that
you cannot ignore even
the possibility of having
breast cancer.
“If you have a gut feeling, you find it in self-examination, you have to go
and get checked out,” she
said. “You have to deal
with it, you have to get
those mammograms, and
I’m constantly stressing
that to my daughter.”
Ginny was 43 years
old at the time of her diagnosis, and she says had
she stuck with a proper
mammogram
schedule,
“it would’ve been caught
sooner and I wouldn’t
have had to go through
the dramatic treatments
that I did.”
“At that point, breast
when you’re done with the
cancer, some people just
think, ‘OK, you’re done,
you had your surgery,
life goes on, you’re done,
you’re fine,’ Patty said. “It
does not work that way…
you are never done. It’s a
constant thing.”
The fear of having to
deal with breast cancer
more than once is something many, if not all survivors deal with.
As Amy Gorman, a
breast cancer survivor
living in St. Marys said,
“You had it once and you
beat it…how many times
can you have it and beat
it?”
And 18 years later,
“every time I’m getting
ready for my checkup I
get nervous,” Ginny said,
“because you never know,
this might just be the
time.”
But early detection
still remains the key.
Stages 0 and 1 have a
100 percent survival rate
according to cancer.org.
For Stage 2, where the
tumor is 2 cm across or
less, or has spread to one
to three axillary lymph
nodes with the cancer in
the lymph nodes larger
than 2 mm across, the
survival rate is 93 per-
cent.
At Stage 3, a higher
number of lymph nodes
are involved, including
cancerous lymph nodes
under and/or above the
clavicle. The survival rate
is 72 percent.
At Stage 4, information from cancer.org reports that the cancer may
be any size and may or
may not have spread to
nearby lymph nodes. It
has spread to distant organs or to lymph nodes far
from the breast. The most
common sites of spread
are the bone, liver, brain
or lung. The survival rate
for Stage 4 is reported at
22 percent.
“Early detection is so
important,” Ginny said.
“The earlier they detect,
the better things will be
and the better your chances are for survival. It's not
the inconvenience of getting the mammogram,
it's just sitting there and
waiting and waiting.”
Patty is also quick
to remind anyone with
breast cancer that it is not
a death sentence whatsoever.
“It didn't happen
overnight so you're not going to die overnight,” she
said.

Jill draws inspiration
from her late mother, Esther Pontzer, who was
also 40 years old when she
was diagnosed with breast
cancer which resulted in
her having a mastectomy.
Esther survived 10
years until she was diagnosed with colon then liver
cancers. She passed away
at age 56, when Jill was
only 25.
“She was an amazing
woman,” Jill said.
Treating
breast cancer
Jill first discovered a
lump in her breast in the
summer of 2014, but did
not have a mammogram
until November which was
positive showing calcifications.
On her 40th birthday
on Dec. 15, Jill underwent
a biopsy which came back
positive.
Additional
biopsies
and tests were performed
at Allegheny General in
Pittsburgh by Dr. Poller,
a radiologist and friend
of Jill’s whom she studied
with to learn how to conduct breast biopsies.
Two days after her
birthday, Jill was informed she had invasive
breast cancer.
More testing and two
biopsies followed as doctors found additional areas
of cancer in her breasts.
Jill detailed one procedure where doctors use
a nuclear medicine study
injecting dye and contrast
into a patient to illuminate
the main lymph nodes affected with cancer. Jill
said this is beneficial due
to less lymph nodes having
to be removed unlike when
her mother had the procedure and doctors removed
all of her lymph nodes.
She explained during the procedure the
sentinel lymph node, the
first lymph node in which
cancer cells are likely to
spread, is checked and if it
is cancer-free, the surgeon
closes up the incision.
In Jill’s case, the cancer was in her left breast
and doctors removed the
sentinel lymph node along
with four others.
Jill’s surgeon recommended a left mastectomy, however Jill opted to
have a bilateral mastectomy which is the removal
of both breasts. One of the
main factors influencing
her decision for a bilateral
procedure was her mother’s history of cancer.
“It was my personal
conviction (because) from
what I do every day I see
a lot of women worry and
wonder. I kind of wanted
to not feel that way so
I wanted to have them
both taken care of,” she
explained. “I see a lot of
anguish, and a lot of pain
and a lot of concern and
that was the one thing
I didn’t have to worry
about.”
The nine-hour surgery
was performed in February at Hillman Cancer
Center in Pittsburgh. Jill
chose to have breast reconstruction done as well.
After the oncology surgeon removed her breast
tissue, a cosmetic surgeon
placed expanders inside
her breasts to help stretch
the tissue. Jill returned
to Pittsburgh once a week
for eight weeks for checkups on the expanders. She
eventually had surgery
to place implants in her
breasts.
Due to the discovery of
a second site of cancer in
one breast, as well as the
type tumors she had, doctors recommended chemotherapy which Jill underwent once a week for 12
weeks at Hahne Cancer
Center at Penn Highlands
DuBois.
Jill noted a lot of breast
cancer patients’ doctors
do not explain to them if
they opt for a mastectomy
they do not have to undergo radiation due to all
of the breast tissue being
removed. If a lumpectomy
is done, where the cancer
is cut out of the breast, the
remaining breast is usually radiated to prevent the
cancer from returning.
In addition, because
the tumors were estrogen,
progesterone and HER2positive, Jill was prescribed Herceptin, which
fights against the tumor
markers and her particular type of cancer. Jill receives an infusion of the
drug every three weeks
and will complete the
treatment in April after
which time she will take a
pill regularly.
Jill currently takes
Tamoxifen, a drug that
blocks the actions of estrogen and used to prevent
various forms of breast
cancer, which she will continue to take for the next
10 years.
Don’t wait
Jill admits she hesitated when she first discovered her breast lump.
“I know mentally that
I did put it off,” she said.
“Don’t put it off, take care
of yourself,” she said.
Jill advised “as a
health care professional
and as a cancer patient,
don’t ignore it. We know
our own breasts, check
them and if there is a
change we should report

Pennsylvania orders youth mental
health facility closed
HARRISBURG (AP)
— After investigating
reports of sexual abuse,
state regulators are ordering the closure of a
western
Pennsylvania
facility that treats children and teenagers diagnosed with mental
health conditions.
The state Department of Human Services
said Thursday that it received the reports about
Glade Run Lutheran
Services in Zelienople
through its ChildLine
hotline. It ordered the
facility to close within
30 days.
The department says
it found violations including inadequate supervision of the children,
failure to report missing
children, staff members
sleeping during their
shifts and insufficient
staffing levels.
A Glade Run representative didn't immediately comment. The 56bed facility can appeal
the department's decision.

sophomore at Lock Haven
University and Morgan,
15, a sophomore at St.
Marys Area High School,
have all been extremely
supportive along with her,
her ex-husband, and her
radiology and mammography family at work.
She also recalls the
love and affection she received from Cooper, her 70
lb. white Standard Poodle.
“He never left my side.
He curls right up with me.
He loves me,” she said.
Prior to leaving for
treatment, Jill’s work family presented her with a
‘basket of sunshine’ filled
with Malibu rum, gift
cards, bandages for her
surgery, and much more.
“It was the most amazing treasure and everybody was so supportive
and banded together,” Jill
said.
Embracing her
bald head
Jill recollected the
loss of her hair as being
“tortuously slow” because
her chemotherapy was at
a lower dose over a 12week time period compared to some women who
have stronger doses over a
three-week period.
Each day she would
find herself vacuuming
the bathroom floor to remove remnants of her
once strawberry blonde
hair.
“I put that off as long
as I could. I had the best
comb over going because
I didn’t want my patients
to know I was a patient.
It was hard for me. I just
wanted to be their provider,” Jill said.
Once her hair became “see-through” as Jill
described it, she began
wearing scarves, opting to
forego a wig.
Jill credits the dedication of her hair stylist
Dusty Dollinger whom
she said cried with her
when she lost her hair and
helped her dye it black
once it started to come
back in salt and pepper
colored.
Life lessons
“The biggest thing
I’ve learned in my process
is that you do not know
what’s going on in someone else’s life,” Jill said.
“That was my cancer lesson, to respect other people and what they may
not be sharing. If they’re
not in a good mood and are
having a bad day, it’s probably bigger than whatever
happened with you. Just
know everyone has something they’re dealing with
and we just need to respect each other.”
Jill referred to a recent experience when she
caught a glimpse of a little
girl fighting cancer.
“She looked so brave,”
Jill said. “I see people
who are a whole lot sicker
than me and I think I can
handle this. I’m fine. I’m
happy, I’m healthy.”

pointment was Oct. 1 at
Hahne Regional Cancer
Center at Penn Highlands
DuBois.
The lengthy timespan
between surgery and chemo was due to Gorman’s
borderline age and diagnosis.
When Amy initially
went for treatment at Magee-Womens Hospital of
UPMC, her doctors were
on the fence about ordering chemo or not ordering
it.
To provide additional
information, an Oncotype
DX test was performed
which involved testing
cells from the lump. This
multi-gene diagnostic test
analyzes the activity of a
group of genes that can affect how a cancer is likely
to behave and respond to
treatment. The results
are reported on a scale of
1-100 known as a Recurrence Score. A score of 18
or lower means the cancer has a low risk or recurrence and the benefit
of chemotherapy is small
and will not outweigh the
risks of side effects. A midlevel score of 18-31 determines cancer has an intermediate risk of recurrence
and is unclear if chemo
outweighs the risks of side
effects. Amy’s score was a
borderline 19.
“It’s so hard because
the doctors aren’t allowed to tell you. Even
when I asked them what
they would do if I were
their sister they still
couldn't tell me what to
do," she explained.
With this information
in hand, Amy discussed
her options with her family and boyfriend Pat Rettger.
“I told them I already lost Russ through
this whole ordeal, I need
to fight this as hard as I
can,” Amy said. “I’m in a
position where I have the
backing and the support.
I needed to do the chemo.
I kind of made my mind
up already before I got the
Onco test reading.”
Upon informing her
doctors she was going to
pursue
chemotherapy,
they told her she was doing the right thing and
were pleased she chose to
move forward with treatment.
Amy’s treatment began in December 2014
and entailed four rounds
of chemo at Magee every
three weeks and 33 rounds
of radiation at Hahne. She
finished treatment on Valentine’s Day.
Amy currently has followup appointments at
Magee every six months
for the next five years
and checkups with her
radiation doctor every six
months as well.
In addition, for the
next 10 years, Amy will
take the drug Tamoxifen,
used to treat and prevent
various types of breast
cancer.
Amy
added
that
Tamoxifen is a “very scary
drug to take” as one of the
side effects is an increase
in a woman’s chance of
uterine cancer as well as
causing blood clots.
Once
Amy
goes
through menopause, she
will be switched to a different drug other than
Tamoxifen. This month
she is scheduled to have
blood work done to determine if she has reached
menopause, which can be
brought on early with chemotherapy.
Don’t delay,
get checked
Amy admits she delayed seeking medical advice upon first discovering
a lump on her breast. Because of this, she emphasizes that women should
not ignore such signs.
“Don’t ignore it,” Amy
stressed.
Throughout her breast
cancer battle, Amy kept a
diary detailing how she
was feeling, what stage
she was in with her treatments, her pain level,
what was going on in her
life and more.
“Cancer is a second
job. You have to be your
own advocate,” she advised.
During each doctor’s
visit, Amy asks for a copy
of her report, especially
any pathology reports.
She stores those reports
along with a plethora of
other helpful information
inside a massive white
binder provided to her by
Paulette Schreiber.
Amy’s Army
Amy’s support system,
consisting of her immediate family, work family, relatives, friends, and
neighbors, is known as
Amy’s Army. She credits
her personal army as being instrumental in her
road to recovery.
Each day, Amy received between one to

five cards in the mail,
many from people she
did not know who simply
wanted to relay that she
was in their thoughts and
prayers.
A simple message of
‘Amy, I’m thinking of you,
keep fighting’ boosted her
spirits to continue her battle.
She recollected how
on chemo days she would
return home after a long
day of treatment to find a
mailbox full of cards.
“People in the community would know when I
went to chemo and would
time those cards,” Amy
said. “That kept me going.”
Amy described an
unexpected touching moment one Sunday while
at church. The week
prior, Amy and her boyfriend had missed their
usual Mass at St. Mary’s
Church, opting instead to
go to a later Mass at Sacred Heart Church. This
apparently drew concerns
about her health from her
fellow St. Mary’s parishioners as upon their return to Mass the following
week, a man approached
Amy telling her they were
relieved to know she was
feeling well as they feared
her health had taken a
turn for the worse.
The community’s kindness was evident as people
often brought dinner to
Amy and helped clean her
house.
Her work family at St.
Marys Insurance would often call and ask what she
wanted on her pizza then
deliver it along with some
wings.
Every time Amy went
to chemo, her work family would buy her “tons” of
scratch-off lottery tickets
along with a card signed
by all of them to keep her
busy during her appointment.
On Nov. 12, her boss,
Jeff Azzato, informed her
to take some time off to
heal. She returned to work
in January.
With 23 people in her
immediate family, Amy is
surrounded by support.
She recollected how
Amy’s Army was out in
full force during the June
2014 Relay for Life in
Kersey.
“We had a great time
and we will be there every
year to march on,” Amy
said.
The creation of Amy’s
Army was a project of her
nieces Delana and Abby
as a way to help them stay
positive.
“They wanted to help
everyone with cancer,” she
said of their efforts.
In addition, Amy’s cat
Turtle also aided in her
healing, always ready to
cuddle with her especially
after long days of chemo.
A hairy battle
Within seven to 10
days of starting her chemo treatments, Amy was
told she would start losing
her hair. Amy recollected
she first noticed her hair
was falling out while at a
work conference in Erie.
When she returned home
she asked her boyfriend
to shave her head because
she didn’t want to wake
up one morning to find all
her hair on her pillow.
“That would just be
too traumatic,” Amy said.
At the time, Amy’s
hair had fully grown just
past her shoulders.
“He (Pat) shaved it
and that night I think
was the hardest night on
him. That was the hardest thing I think he ever
did in his life,” Amy explained.
Amy took her hair loss
in stride, joking it was
much less maintenance
with a bald head.
Prior to losing her
hair, Amy ventured to DuBois to purchase a wig for
$250.
She went into work
each day wearing the wig.
“I felt like I was 'Halloweening,'” she said. “I
hated wearing it.”
When people would
comment on how they
liked her hairstyle, Amy
replied honestly that it
was a wig.
She would often pull
her wig off on her ride
home for lunch, garnering
surprised reactions from
fellow motorists.
“In November I was
going to church and I
thought 'I’m done wearing
the wig.' I thought this is
who I am, I’m bald, it’s
fine because I’m not in the
bathroom doing my hair
for hours. So I talked myself into it and said if I can
go into church bald, I can
get rid of the wig,” Amy
said.
As she entered the
church she was wearing a
knit hat.
“As I was kneeling
and praying I asked God
to give me the strength to

US airman who thwarted French
train attack stabbed in brawl
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Airman 1st
Class Spencer Stone, celebrated as a hero for helping to stop a terror attack
on a French train over the
summer, was stabbed and
seriously wounded outside
a bar in his hometown early Thursday in what police
said was an alcohol-related brawl.
Stone, 23, was knifed
three times in the upper
body but was expected to
survive after about two
hours of surgery, said Dr.
J. Douglas Kirk, chief
medical officer at UC Davis Medical Center.
"This incident is not
related to terrorism in any
way," Deputy Police Chief
Ken Bernard said. "We
know it's not related to
what occurred in France
months ago."
A grainy surveillance
video from a camera outside a liquor store showed
a man who appeared to be
Stone fighting with sev-
eral people at an intersection. The group spilled into
the street as people took
swings at each other, and
one person got knocked
down.
Police said two assailants fled in a car. No
immediate arrests were
made.
Bernard said Stone
was out with four friends
when they got into a
fight with another group
of people. The deputy
chief would not say what
sparked the argument. He
said there was no evidence
the assailants knew who
Stone was.
Bernard said he did
not know whether Stone
was drinking, but others
in his group were.
Kirk said Stone remained heavily sedated
in the hospital's intensive
care unit. He declined to
discuss any details about
the surgery or whether
any vital organs were
damaged in the stabbing,
beyond saying Stone had
"significant injuries."
The airman arrived at
the nearby hospital conscious despite his wounds,
the doctor said.
"I suspect given his
history of recent events
he is quite a fighter," Kirk
said.
He said Stone's family
asked him to convey "their
deepest gratitude for all
the expressions of concern
for his welfare at this very
difficult time for them."
In
August,
Stone
and two of his childhood
friends from Sacramento,
National Guardsman Alek
Skarlatos and college student Anthony Sadler, were
vacationing in Europe
when they sprang into action aboard a Paris-bound
passenger train and tackled Ayoub El-Khazzani, a
man with ties to radical
Islam. He had boarded the
train with a Kalashnikov
rifle, a pistol and a box
cutter.
diary.
Amy’s insurance company, Highmark, refused
to pay her claim for a wig,
claiming she did not need
a wig to "beat the disease."
“I told them they were
going to pay for a $250 wig
or instead pay a $10,000
depression claim,” she
stated.
Amy unfortunately did
not win her fight against
the insurance company
despite arguing back and
forth with them, as well
as presenting her case in
person while attending a
meeting at the Highmark
offices in Pittsburgh.

take this hat off,” she added. “When I took it off I felt
everybody looking at me,
but I was like ‘I did it, here
I am’ and from that point
on I never wore the wig
again,” Amy said. “Once I
left the wig go, I thought
it was way cooler to have a
do-rag on.”
As a certified healthcare reform specialist,
Amy knows a thing or two
about the insurance industry. Little did she expect
to take on a second battle
over compensation for a
wig while fighting breast
cancer.
“That became my personal battle for awhile,”
Amy said.
At some point cancer
patients may receive a
prescription for a cranial
prothesis, or a wig.
“I will fight that until
I die because every girl
should have a right to get
a wig,” Amy wrote in her

Crusader soccer shuts
out Smethport 4-0
By Becky Polaski
Staff Writer
The
Elk
County
Catholic Crusader soccer
team recorded their third
shutout in their last four
games on Thursday afternoon when they defeated
the Hubbers 4-0 on the
road in Smethport.
ECC head coach TJ
Weaver remarked that
the game was a tale of two
halves, with his squad
struggling to move the
ball in the opening 40
minutes of the match.
“In the second half we
were able to change our
play to a possession game
and we were able to finish on the opportunities,”
Weaver said.
Valentyn Wolfe had a
hat trick for the Crusaders, scoring once in the
first and twice in the second. Tony Pollick also had
a goal.
“I am very pleased
with the progression and
the kids’ abilities to make
adjustments,”
Weaver
said. “Tonight we were
able to play all the kids,
which is nice.”
Now 11-2 on the season, ECC will return to
action tonight when they
host the DuBois Central
Catholic Cardinals in a
7 p.m. match at Angela
Huey Memorial Field at
Fox Township Community Park. The match comes
exactly one week after the
two teams’ first meeting,
which ECC won 2-0.
Schlosser each finished
with cards of 100 for the
Crusaders to round out
the top five.
Tyler Wehler had a 102
for ECC and Ross Martin
finished with a 103.
“Ridgway played very
well once again this year
to claim the championship. The last two years
they shot 389 to claim
the championship and
this year 393. They have
had an excellent run over
the past three seasons
with excellent players,”
said ECCHS coach Aaron
Straub.
“Coming into today’s
match we had been making strides in a positive
direction. Unfortunately
we did not play very well

Dutchmen rally for 2-1 win over Port Allegany Gators
By Becky Polaski
Staff Writer
By this point in the
season, Dutch soccer fans
have likely become accustomed to Dawson Lion’s
flip throws, but that does
not make the move any
less impressive any time
he does it. The momentum Lion is able to get on
the maneuver gives the
Dutchmen a significant
advantage, and it helped
the team score both of
their goals as they rallied to defeat the Port
Allegany Gators 2-1 on
Thursday afternoon at the
SMAHS soccer field.
St. Marys Area head
coach Russ Micale indicated that Lion’s flip
throw came about almost
by accident.
“He did it one day at
practice and it worked out
pretty awesome,” Micale
said. “Any game that it’s
dry, he’s been very effective. If it’s wet out he can’t
keep a grip on the ball. It’s
a huge weapon. Anywhere
from about 40 yards out
he can put the ball in the
box, so it’s very danger-
ous. We definitely enjoy
having that option.”
The Dutchmen kept
the Gators from getting
a shot in the first 10 minutes of the game, but then
Port caught a lucky break
to score an early goal.
With the action centered
in the area in front of the
Dutch goal, SMA keeper
Caleb Barackman decided
to come out and try to secure the ball to prevent a
shot. However, just before
he could get into the mix
of players, Port junior
Calvin Burleson headed
the ball past him and into
the empty net to give the
Gators a 1-0 lead with
28:08 left in the first half
of the match.
Both teams put together some nice chances
throughout the remainder
of the half, but it would be
a throw-in by Lion that set
the stage for St. Marys Area’s tying goal. With just
under three minutes to
go before the break, Lion
took the throw-in and
put the ball in a nice spot
right in front of the goal.
Port’s keeper misplayed
it and it ended up going
out of bounds, giving St.
Marys a corner kick. Nathan McAnany took the
kick from the corner to
the right of the goal, and
Nathan Schneider was
able to put the ball past
Port keeper Garrett Talkington to tie the game at
1-all with 2:37 left in the
half.
Both teams came
out of the break with renewed momentum as
each fought for an advantage. Both keepers did a
nice job fielding anything
that came their way, but
the difference maker in
the match proved to be a
throw-in by Lion with just
under 25 minutes remaining.
Performing what has
become his signature
move, Lion took the throw
from the sideline to the
right of the goal and was
able to send the ball right
into a mix of players in
front of it. Talkington did
his best to get to it, but
Schneider got there first

and sent it past him into
the goal to give St. Marys
a 2-1 lead with 24:27 left
in the match.
Both teams had a
number of chances as the
clock wound down, and
fans were treated to a very
intense final few minutes
as the Gators did everything they could to try to
retie the match. However,
Barackman and the Dutch
defense came up with
some big saves and St.
Marys was able to hold on
for the 2-1 victory.
“There at the end we
had some huge saves by
Caleb, our keeper, and CJ
McGowan blocked on there
with three or four minutes
left that would have been
a goal if he hadn’t been
there to block it,” Micale
said.
Now 6-7 on the season,
St. Marys Area will return

12 p.m. when they travel
to Punxsutawney to take
on the Chucks.

We hustled, we had exceptional blocking, we passed
well and we had a solid offense,” said St. Marys coach
Mike Hanes.
“They put everything together against a good Punxsy team,” said Hanes.
Coach Hanes also pointed out the strong middle
blocking of Maggie Martin
and Lexi Taylor along with
the outside blocking of Rachel Armanini and Hannah

play of libero Mackenzie McMackin.

Lady Owls hand Lady Crusaders 3-1 setback Thursday
By Becky Polaski
Staff Writer
The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader volleyball team suffered their
first loss of the season in
a tough match against
Bradford on Thursday
night at the ECCHS gymnasium. ECC won the first
set 25-23, but then Bradford took the next three
sets 25-15, 28-26, and 2826 to claim the 3-1 victory.
“It was an exciting
match to watch,” said ECC
head coach Diane Gies. “It
was our first loss of the
year, but I think we lost to
a quality team. In Bradford, they always play
us tough. We’re going to
learn a lot from this loss,
which is going to make
us better going down the
road. That’s what I told
the kids. Yeah it’s our first
loss on the year, but if we
find and we examine the
missed opportunities that
we had, that’s only going
to make us better and
stronger going forward.”
ECC was able to take
a slim lead in the first set
and pulled ahead 10-4
before returning the ball
into the net. Behind the
serving of Bryn Manion,
the Lady Owls were able
to close the deficit to 10-9
before a kill by Jordyn Fox
gave ECC back the serve,
11-9. Josie Smith later
took over serving with the
Lady Crusaders holding a
13-11 lead, and behind her
serve ECC opened up a
bit more breathing room,
17-11. The Lady Crusad-
4. EMPLOYMENT
ers maintained roughly a
five-point lead as the set
wound down, at one point
leading 21-16. A failed return made the score 2117, and then Bradford’s
Abby Burgess recorded an
ace to cut the Lady Owls’
deficit to 21-18. However,
a short serve into the net
made the score 22-18 in
favor of ECC. Elk turned
the serve back over after
failing to keep the volley
going, 22-19, and then
Bradford rode the serving
of Manion to tie the match
at 22-all before a block
by the Lady Crusaders
put the team back ahead
23-22. An ace by Ramsey
Struble put ECC within
one point of the match
win, 24-22, but a return
out of bounds by the Lady
Crusaders gave the serve
back to Bradford, 24-23.
Bradford ended up returning a volley out of bounds,
giving ECC the 25-23 set
victory.
In the second set, the
serving of Morgan Roggenbaum and Lelia Sosic
helped Bradford draw out
to a big 12-2 lead, and try
as they might, ECC was
unable to close the gap.
Smith helped the Lady
Crusaders catch up slightly, as she had an ace to
bring the team within 10
at 16-7. Elk followed that
up with a block and then
Bradford failed to return
a volley, 16-9. A Bradford
kill gave the Lady Owls
back the ball, 17-9, but a
short serve turned it right
back over to ECC, 17-10.

The final two sets
were both very back-andforth affairs. Bradford
held a slim lead early in
the first set, pulling ahead
10-7 at one point before a
kill by the Lady Crusaders
gave the serve to Smith
and she helped ECC pull
ahead 15-10.
Bradford later rallied behind the serving
of Roggenbaum to tie the
match at 16-all before continuing to pull ahead to
take an 18-16 lead. ECC
fought right back and was
able to pull back ahead 1918 before turning over the
serve. The teams fought
back-and-forth until the
end. Smith was serving
with the match tied at
25-all and the ball hit the
ground on Bradford’s side
following an attempted
block by the Lady Owls to
put ECC up 26-25, however the Lady Crusaders returned the ball into
the net on the next volley
to re-tie the match at 26all. With Manion serving
for Bradford, Elk hit the
ball into the stands to give
Bradford a 27-26 advantage and then returned
the ball out of bounds to
give the Lady Owls the
28-26 set victory.
The fourth and final
set featured more of the
same exciting play and
close scoring. Bradford
eventually built a 23-17
lead, but the Lady Crusaders did not go down
LEGAL NOTICE
without a fight. Behind
the serve of Smith, they
were able to close the gap
to 23-20 before a Bradford
kill put the Lady Owls one
point away from the victory, 24-20.
With a chance to secure the victory, Bradford
instead returned the next
volley into the net to allow ECC to close to 24-21.
Then, behind the serving of Fox, Elk was able
to rally and take a 25-24
lead. However, the Lady
Crusaders were unable
to return a volley, allowing Bradford to retie the
match at 25-all and the
Lady Owls fought back to
eventually win 28-26 and
claim the 3-1 match victory.
Cassidy
Cunningham had 14 kids for the
Lady Crusaders, while
Reilly Herzing had nine
and Ramsey Struble had
eight. Fox and Smith each
had four.
Bradford also won the
junior varsity match 2-1.
Bradford won the first
set 25-23, while ECC won
the second set 25-21. The
Lady Owls then claimed
the victory with a 15-12
win in the third set.
ECC will return to action on Tuesday when they
travel across town to face
the St. Marys Area Lady
Dutch. The junior varsity
match is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. with varsity
to follow.

Dear Annie: My husband of
five years has just learned that his
daughter is engaged, and I am already stressing about the wedding.
My husband was married
when we met. I didn’t intentionally
date a married man, but he pur-
sued me, and I told him that if he
wanted to date me, he must leave
his wife. It only took three months,
so he was obviously ready to go.
Still, I’m the “other woman.”
I have tried to be considerate,
avoiding the places where his ex
shops. He has lunch regularly with
his daughter, but the only time his
daughter sees me is for a short,
awkward time at holidays. His
daughter came to our wedding, but
didn’t stay for the reception. I don’t
blame her. I’d hate me, too.
I don’t want to go to her wedding. I feel it would stress her out,
and I don’t want to ruin her special
day. I think the focus should be on
her, not on people whispering about
the woman who broke up her par-
ents’ marriage. I’ve been the butt
of bitter comments already. I also
don’t want to confront her mother.
If the bride wanted me there,
I would go, but I am pretty sure
she doesn’t. Should I go and wish
them well, then leave? Should I
stay away altogether? My husband
would have a better time if I were
with him, but it’s not his big day.
Please tell me what to do. -- Somewhere in California
Dear California: You are
wise to understand the situation,
and considerate to put the bride
first. Your husband should ask
his daughter directly if she wants
you there. If she says no, then
stay away. If she says “yes” or she
doesn’t care, it might be best for
Everyone is quick to yell at
the husbands for not doing the
dishes, but why shouldn’t the wives
be sharing the other tasks? -- Mike
Dear Mike: We agree that the
wives who are retired should pick
up some of the slack on the other
end, but these are not exactly equal
chores. Dishes, laundry and housecleaning have to be done every day.
Mowing the lawn or cleaning the
gutters is seasonal and periodic.
You could count up the hours spent
doing each of these if you are determined to make it “equal,” but
we don’t believe household chores
should be tit-for-tat. You might be
better at some things and your wife
at others, and it’s fine to focus more
on the work you do best. And the
you to attend only the ceremony,
and your husband should remain
for the reception. But keep in mind
that you are now married to Dad
and in order for the situation ever
to normalize, you will need to endure these encounters so that, over
time, they won’t seem so unusual
or stressful.
Dear Annie: I am continually
fascinated at the people who are
quick to criticize retired husbands
for not taking on 50 percent of the
household chores.
Why do these stories never include the expectation that the wife
will wash the cars, mow the lawn,
repair the broken shades, change
the air-conditioning filters, clean
the gutters and on and on?

For Saturday, Oct. 10, 2015
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
This is a goofy day and certainly
a poor day to spend money on anything
other than gas and food. Just go with the
flow, and keep treading water.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
This is a wonderful, creative day
for artists or for anyone doing a project,
because it’s easy to think outside of the
box. You’re full of imaginative, original
ideas!
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
Ideally, this is a good day to cocoon at home. Spend money only on
gas and food, because it’s a poor day for
shopping. But it’s a great day to relax!
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Don’t make promises to anyone
today. Don’t agree to anything important.
Just go with the flow, and do not shop for
anything other than gas and food.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Be careful in all financial transactions today. Avoid important decisions
and major purchases. You’re back in
business tomorrow.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Today the Moon is in your sign,
but it is void-of-course, in astrology parlance. This means today is a poor day to
do anything, but it’s a fun-loving, creative
day.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Your general efficiency is going
to improve now, because Mercury in your
sign is no longer retrograde. I’m sure this
will cause you to breathe a big sigh of relief.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
This is a lovely day to hang out
with others and just kick back and enjoy
socializing. However, do not agree to
anything important; spend money only
on food or gas.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Others might know personal details about your private life today. It happens. Just let this slide, because this is a
poor day to act on anything important.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Do something to feel that you’re
getting more out of life. Explore the world
around you, or travel a bit if you can.
However, only spend money on gas and
food today, or on fun entertainment.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Postpone important decisions
about shared property, inheritances and
red-tape matters like that. This is a very
poor day for these decisions.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Be cooperative with others, because the Moon is opposite your sign
today. But just go with the flow. Don’t
come up with big ideas, and don’t agree
to anything important.
YOU BORN TODAY You have
excellent money savvy. You are shrewd,
capable and know how to run your affairs.
You also are an excellent problem solver,
which is why you ensure that you have
a beautiful home that runs efficiently. This
year is the beginning of a fresh, new nineyear cycle for you. Open any door! Start
a new business activity.
Birthdate of: James Clavell, novelist/screenwriter; Nora Roberts, author;

rest you should do because you love
each other and these things still
need to be done, retired or not.
