Woman facing charges in alleged stabbing
By Joseph Bell
Daily Press Editor
A Weedville woman is facing
charges stemming from an alleged stabbing incident reported
to have occurred early Saturday
morning at a River Road residence in the village of Caledonia.
According to police, Cody Allen Moore reported to police that
he was stabbed multiple times by
Rosalind Amanda Gursky, 22, of
2885 River Rd., Weedville in the
early morning hours of Saturday,
Jan. 9.
Moore related to police that
he was notified by a witness that
his son “had been abused in the
residence of his ex-girlfriend, the
accused, by her current live-in
boyfriend.”
The boyfriend is said to have
“thrown the child across the
room and off of a wall,” according
to the affidavit of probable cause.
Moore said he arrived at
the River Road residence at approximately 12:30 a.m. Saturday
morning and “knocked on the
door three or four times” before
opening the door slightly and
yelling inside “attempting to get
a response.”
A male reportedly asked “who
is it?” and Moore reportedly identified himself, and stated that he
was at the residence to pick up
his son.
Moore reported that the livein boyfriend said he was not
permitted to retrieve his twoyear-old son. Moore entered the
residence and proceeded to the
second floor where he reportedly
got into a physical altercation
with the live-in boyfriend. Moore
stated he was able to get away
from him and entered the bedroom where Gursky reportedly
had the child.
Moore reported that he was
removing the child from the
“abusive situation” and began to
collect the child and “his things.”
Gursky then reportedly retrieved
a knife and advised that Moore
“was not leaving the residence,”
telling him “I will kill you before
I let you leave.”
Police say Moore advised
Gursky to “put the knife down”
and “picked up the child and
left the bedroom with him in his
arms.”
Moore reportedly started

Eighth graders donate to local
organization for Advent service project
This year, the eighth grade
class at St. Marys Catholic Middle School teamed up with CAPSEA (Citizens Against Physical,
Sexual and Emotional Abuse)
to help those in great need during the Christmas season. The
students as well as the teachers wanted to make this Advent
season special by giving some
of the people in the Elk County
area a chance at a new begin-
ning.
“The eighth graders decided on a service project to
help others because that is
what Christmas is all about,”
said eighth grader Ellie Fledderman. “That’s what we have
been learning all these years in
our religion classes and at home
from our parents.”
After a little research about
CAPSEA, the teachers discov-
ered the organization relies on
donations from the community
in order to help the victims that
seek refuge from abuse. The victims often flee their homes with
little or no belongings. As a result, the eighth graders decided
to collect a variety of items for
the organization including paper towels, toilet paper, nap-

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

Penn Highlands Elk surprises two employees
with gifts for their outstanding service
The administration
of Penn Highlands Elk
recognizes two employees each month for going
above and beyond their
regular duties and providing exceptional service to patients and coworkers. One employee
is selected from the hospital and another from
Pinecrest Manor. These
Employees of the Month
are awarded a special
parking space and a gift
certificate for logowear.
The Penn Highlands
Elk Auxiliary recently
met and decided it would
be fitting to randomly
draw from these names
and select two individuals to receive year-end
gifts. Leanne Ruffner
and Christine Gerber
were the two lucky recipients of a Kindle Fire and
a Dell tablet.
Ruffner’s career at
the hospital began in
1997 in the cafeteria
when she was still in high
school. After graduating, she went to nursing
school at the University
of Pittsburgh at Bradford
and began working as a

their families. She has a

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

“There were a lot of

Beimel said. “It was a

celebration.
Harrison

St. Marys’ favorite cou-

“It snowed in St.
Marys back in those days
too,” Beimel said. “This
is a view of the Diamond

The Franklin Hotel is
still there. The old Hall

and St. Marys Gas Company are still there.”
A cannon can also be
seen in place on the Diamond.

Beimel also included
two photos that had come
to the historical society
from Arther McQuone.
He had previously mentioned McQuone earlier
in the show, displaying
a photograph that had
been taken by McQuone
by Jim Auman.
When it came time
to discuss McQuone’s
contributions as a photographer, Beimel noted
that he both took photos
that have been beneficial to the society, and he
also acquired photos that
have been valuable as
well.

he displayed was a view
of the west side of the
Diamond after a snowstorm, which was taken
by McQuone sometime in
photo, Beimel showed a
different picture that had
been given to the historical society by McQuone.
The picture shows a
hunting display in the
window at Smith Brothers Department Store in
1941. While the photographer is not known with
any certainty, Beimel
noted that he suspects it
may have been Tom Ewing.
“This is in the Tom
Ewing era,” Beimel said.
“Maybe I’m blowing the
horn of all the guys in my
profession, but you notice
how the professionals really knew how to make
a good picture. Even today, most people trying
to make that photograph
with a fancy digital camera would not get that
result. Yet Tom, if Tom
indeed took it, was able
to do that with a big, unwieldily view camera.”

Cameron County Chamber announces new event
Club from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
“Last year elementary students at Woodland Elementary School
told teachers they wanted
something to do in the
winter and adults were listening,” says Tina Johns
Solak, executive director
of the Cameron County
Chamber of Commerce.
The Emporium Country Club will be turned
into a winter carnival
with the highlight a sledding contest. Everyone
is invited to make a sled
only using cardboard,
duct tape, glue and paper.
Age groups: 8 and under,
9-12, 13-18 and adults will
be judged on originality
and the distance traveled
by their creation. A twoperson snowman building contest and creature
building contest will also
be held. In addition, cross
country skiing, snowshoeing and ice skating are
planned.
“If the weather does
not cooperate for ice skating, the pond will become
home for a polar plunge,”
according to Johns Solak.
The Cameron County
Girl and Boy Scouts will be

“it appeared to be where
the tip of the knife struck
him.”
Moore advised that
he had two shirts and a
heavy hooded sweatshirt
on at the time of the alleged incident, stating
the accused “had a difficult time getting the
blade through the victim’s
clothing.”
Authorities say the
child showed no signs of
injury from the alleged
incident.
According to the affidavit of probable cause,
Gursky was contacted
at the scene by two state
troopers who reported
that she “advised that
she had stabbed the victim.” Troopers recovered
a knife from an upstairs
bedroom at the residence.
The knife was secured
and placed in evidence,
and Gursky was placed in
custody and transported
to the barracks in Ridgway.
Gursky was advised
of her Miranda Warnings
at 3:41 a.m. and provided
a written statement in
which she indicated she
had struck the victim
with an “object” that she
had gotten off a nearby
table.
Less than an hour
later, Gursky, while being questioned again
by authorities, “advised
the same as her written
statement” and “would
not state that she had
stabbed the victim.”
Police say Gursky
“indicated that she hit
(Moore) with something
but would not say that the
object was a knife.”
Gursky was arraigned
later that morning in
front of Magisterial District Judge Mark S. Jacob
in St. Marys and remanded to Elk County Prison
in lieu of $10,000 bail.
Gursky faces one
count of aggravated assault, a second-degree felony; simple assault, a second-degree misdemeanor;
recklessly
endangering
another person, a seconddegree misdemeanor; and
a summary offense of harassment-subject other to
physical contact.
Gursky is scheduled
for a preliminary hearing
Tuesday, Jan. 12 at 12:30
p.m. in Jacob’s Magisterial District 59-3-03 courtroom in St. Marys.

Stabbing
down the stairwell to leave
and “felt several striking
blows on his back.”
Moore advised police
that the blows were “fast
in succession and he felt a
sting on his back between
his shoulder blades.” The
victim reported to police
that he was able to leave
the residence and secure
the child in his vehicle
before leaving the scene.
Moore stated he arrived
at his residence in Force
when he realized that he
had been stabbed as his
back was bleeding and
a cut was visible on his
back.
Moore placed a call
to 911 to report the incident. He was interviewed
by members of the Ridgway-based State Police
in the emergency room at
Penn Highlands Elk in St.
Marys at approximately
2:50 a.m.
Police say a cut, in the
middle of Moore’s back
along his spine and between his shoulder blades
was visible. It measured
1 centimeter in length in
a vertical pattern. The
affidavit says a “second
wound” was visible on his
right shoulder blade but

King and other Bits & Pieces…
Winter Blues and Brews Festival
2016, Saturday, Jan. 30, Tickets
going fast at the Ridgway Chamber
The Beer and Libations: Straub of St. Marys will be on hand
with their amazing handcrafted beer. I recommend their IPL [India Pale Lager] if you get a chance, the Cascade hops used in that
IPL are very distinct, very pleasant. Straub American Amber is
also a good lager, I tried one of those last weekend at Jordan’s
Bar & Grill during the “Seahawks whooping the Vikings game,”
[Very nice]. I’m sure they will have a fine offering of several of
their beers for us to try. Crescent Beer of Mt. Jewett will be joining the fun. They produce over 1.1 million cases a year and have
the distribution rights to some big beer names—I’m sure they
will bring the goods. Glenwood Beer Company will also wet your
whistle, home of small batch beers like Voodoo beer, Evil Genius
Harlan J. Beagley
and hundreds of other craft brews. They also represent “malterPublisher
natives” like Redd’s Wicked Apple Ale [Good cider] and non-alcoholic beverages. They too, offer the big boys: Coors, Miller, and many others, “We will
have a coffee and cocktail bar as well for hot drinks,” said Michelle Bogacki, Ridgway
Main Street Manager and Chamber event spokesperson. Michelle and I talked about
hot cocoa, coffee nudges and other warm drinks [Yum]. Drink responsibility folks
and remember to bring your ID.
The Live Music: The
Winter Blues & Brews
opens the afternoon of
music with a local favorite “Dusty Trout.”
“Them Dusty Trouts will
be grinnin’ and pickin’
this Saturday,” [LOL]
mentioned someone on
Dusty Trout’s Facebook.
You are in for a special

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

and snacks they want.
Sorry, no BYOB, with
all of the beer included

CEC offers workshops on the
financial aid process for college
The Community Education Center (CEC) is
offering a series of workshops related to the financial aid process for
college. The Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA) is perhaps
the single most important
document in the financial aid process. Get support in applying for and
verifying your FAFSA
password (a new requirement before completing
the FAFSA) at the CEC’s
computer lab throughout
the spring. Tax Credits,
financial aid, and your
taxes all impact your bottom line when it comes to
paying for higher education. Attend “College and
the IRS: Know Before you
File” on Wednesday, Jan.
13. In this free workshop,
local accountant, Jerome
Zelt, along with Denny
Geyer and Michael Buchheit will present helpful
information on Tuition
and Fees deductions, 529
Plans, Savings Bonds
Interest, the American
Opportunity Credit, the
Lifetime Learning Credit,
and how your tax return
is used on the FAFSA to
calculate financial need
and financial aid. Get
step-by-step
assistance
in filling out the FAFSA
form on Feb. 4 with a representative from the PA
Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA).
In April, individuals and
high school students will
be able to attend a seminar on “How to Choose?
Which College Can I Afford?” Attendees will
learn how to choose a college or training program
that is affordable without
racking up loads of student debt. Registration is
required for each event.
There is no fee to attend
these workshops, but registration is required. For
more information or to

Western Pa. gas prices
decrease two cents
Western Pennsylvania
gas prices have dropped 2
cents to $2.125 a gallon,
according to AAA East
Central’s Fuel Gauge report. The national average is $1.965.
Last week’s Western
Pa. average price: $2.140
Average price during
the week of Jan. 12, 2015:
$2.435
On the national
front
Gas prices continue to
drop to multi-year lows,
with today’s average price
of $1.97 per gallon representing the cheapest average price at the pump
since March 23, 2009. Gas
prices have fallen for 55
of the past 66 days for a
total savings of 26 cents
per gallon and should remain relatively low because there is more than
enough oil and gasoline
around the world to meet
demand.
Disruptions in production generally lead to
noticeable spikes in the
price at the pump, which
are often exacerbated due
to the market’s relative
isolation and specific fuel
requirements. Consumers
in the region will likely
experience price swings in
the near term due to both
planned and unplanned
maintenance, and this
could increase the national average price of
gas even as prices drop in
other parts of the country.
Both oil benchmarks
have posted losses for every day of trading in 2016,
and as a result, closed out
the week at lows unseen
in more than a decade.
Expectations that prices
will continue to hover at
multi-year lows are beginning to surface and
market watchers are pay-
ing close attention to both
China and the Middle
East. Growth in China’s
economy was once seen
as a factor that could offset some of the market’s
imbalance, though there
is more uncertainty now
that concerns over its
economy continue to grow.
West Texas Intermediate
closed out Friday’s formal
trading session on the
NYMEX down 11 cents,
settling at $33.16 per barrel. This represents a loss
of approximately 10 percent on the week and was
the benchmark’s lowest
settlement since Feb. 9,
2004.

Music honors for Casey
Sarah Casey concluded 11 years of piano study
in 2015. An article similar
to the following will be
published in the Spring
2016 Guild Notes publication of the National Guild
of Piano Teachers, based
in Austin, Texas.
Now a junior at St.
Marys Area High School,
Sarah Marie Casey began
music lessons at St. Benedict Academy of Music at
the age of five. She was
instructed by Sister Helen Herbstritt, OSB, for 10
years, and then directed
by Mr. Edwin Schwer in
2014-15.
It was her love for
music that helped her
persevere in reaching the
high goals she eventually
achieved. For 10 years
she participated in the
National Piano-Playing
Auditions sponsored by
the National Guild of Piano Teachers.
Sarah won the FiveYear National Award in
2010, the Ten-Year National along with the Paderewski Gold Medal in
2015; and the Sonatina
Medal (Plaque) in 2014.
Through the years she
earned ten National gold
pins, and six Composer
pins.
Programs presented
before her Guild judges
consisted of 10-12 memorized pieces and three
musicianship
phases.
One exception was the
Sonatina program which
required 15 memorized
sonatina movements.
Ratings
by
Guild
judges were consistently
superior. Commendations
were frequent on her
clean-cut technique and
excellent interpretation of
style.
Pieces she particularly enjoyed were Fantasy in
D Minor (Mozart), Song of
India (Rimsky-Korsakov),
Canon in D (Pachebel),
The Entertainer (Joplin),
and Sonatina in C (Opus
Sarah Casey
36 No. 1 by Clementi
three movements). Her
preferred phases were
transposition, ear training and improvisation.
Other goals for this
diligent young pianist
were performing in the
yearly Spring piano recitals of the Music Academy
from the time she was in
Kindergarten. Included
among her selections were
original compositions she
had developed from her
improvisations. She also
starred in the Academy’s
Christmas recitals beginning in seventh grade.
The
daughter
of
Christopher and Michelle
Casey, she has been an
honor student throughout
her school career. With
English her favorite subject, she has also taken
several years of German
and is a member of the
Foreign Language Committee.
In her school bands
she has played in percussion on the xylophone,
marimba and glockenspiel. Her hobbies include
photography and creative
writing; and she holds district champion and most
valuable player awards in
tennis.
About
her
music,
Sarah offers these words:
“Playing the piano is magical; there is no other feeling like it. Studying music
has brightened my mind
and soul, opening my life
to the wonderful world of
opportunities.”

Gov. Wolf announces plow
truck tracking now publicly
viewable through 511PA
HARRISBURG
–
As part of an expanded
technology pilot, the
public can now view
hundreds of plow trucks
on interstates and expressways this winter at
www.511PA.com, Governor Tom Wolf announced
Monday. The announcement is part of the Automated Vehicle Location
(AVL) system pilot first
announced by the governor in October, which
improves
PennDOT’s
information on vehicle
movement and usage of
winter materials.
“This initiative will
improve PennDOT’s operations by looking for
efficiencies in how the
agency’s fleet is operating during the winter
months, while promoting transparency by allowing the public access
to this information,”
Governor
Wolf
said.
“This is a step forward in
showing Pennsylvanians
how hard PennDOT is
working to keep them
safe during the winter
season.”
The public can view
the location of more
than 500 PennDOT plow
trucks and more than
200 contracted rental trucks this winter
through the 511PA website.
PennDOT
Secretary Leslie S. Richards
explained that while
on-duty trucks will be
shown in near real-time,
the pilot does not show
the full breadth of the
department’s services on
interstates or express-
ways, or statewide.
“During
winter
weather, interstates and
expressways are our top
priority,” Richards said.
“That means that we
often move trucks from
lower-traffic roads onto
interstates, and those
trucks won’t be shown on
511. Additionally, due to
differing staff schedules,
storms or equipment usage, the location of all
of the trucks will not be
visible at all times.
“We’re excited to educate the public about our
operations with this pilot, but they won’t see all
of our more than 2,000
trucks across the state.”
Statewide, PennDOT
has more than 2,200 total
department-force
trucks and also rents approximately 270 trucks
and their operators to
maintain the more than
40,000 miles of roadway
for which PennDOT is
responsible.
The AVL system pilot is part of Governor
Wolf ’s GO-TIME initiative that leverages interagency coordination and
collaboration to maximize efficiency, modernize state government
operations, and provide
the highest quality services. The pilot, as one of
seven GO-TIME projects
identified by PennDOT
in 2016-2017, is expected to realize a cost savings of $1.4 million over
the next four to six years
based on a combination
of reduced salt usage
and better use of department equipment.

Walking is anything
but pleasant today and
those who had no occasion
to venture out remained
indoors. It rained during the larger part of last
night and this morning
which quickly froze, making walking almost impossible.
The mill and brewery
ponds were crowded with
skaters yesterday. Several people broke through
the ice on the former pond
yesterday and got a good
ducking.
At present time there
are 42 patients in the Elk
County General Hospital in this place, and last
night every bed in the institution was in use. There
have been an unusually
large number of surgical
cases during the past few
days.
The hospital is certainly doing grand service
and it has built a reputation far beyond the confines of Elk County.
There has been agitation for some time to
enlarge the hospital. It
seems that the time is not
far distant when this will
be necessary. – Ridgway
Record.
Johnsonburg Breeze:
Again, the demon boarder
in love with the landlord’s
wife, has come to pass in
our fair city. The story, so
far as we are able to learn
is short, but nevertheless, pathetic. An Italian
resident, who lives in the
old Central hose building,
is the victim, losing both
his wife and about $60. It
seems that he had given
his wife the $60 to pay the
grocery, meat and other
bills on Wednesday, which
was his pay day and upon
returning from his toll in
the evening, he found his
wife and boarder gone.
He has made a tour of the
stores and meat markets
and other places where
his wife was to pay bills
and upon his investigation, learned that the
same had not been paid.
He made a quiet investigation and on Thursday
evening called upon the
police to help him find the
erring parties.
While no clue has been
found at this writing, to
which direction the couple
went, it is thought that
they either boarded the
northbound 4:21 afternoon train on the B.R.&P.
or left on the 5:03 evening
train on the Pennsylvania.

of Peter Weber, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Jacob Weber, of
Mill Street, at 6 o’clock
this morning. The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Father Suitbert, O.S.B., in
the presence of immediate
relatives of the contracting parties. The attendants were Caroline Weber, a sister of the groom
and Ambrose Fledderman,
a brother of the bride. The
bride wore a dark green
broad cloth suit with hat
to match and the bridesmaid a blue suit and a
black picture hat.
After the ceremony the
bridal party were driven
to the bride’s home where
they, in company with relatives and invited friends,
partook of a sumptuous

Some time after midnight the store of Michael
Pusl, on Theresia Street,
was broken into and
robbed, about $25 in cash
and other articles being
taken.
Mr. Pusl attended a
meeting during the evening, returning home
shortly after midnight,
and at that time everything was all right. The
robbery was discovered
upon his getting up to
open the store this morning. Small change was
scattered about the store
as was also merchandise.
The robber or robbers gained entry to the
store by cutting a hole in
the door under the knob
and reaching through this
were able to unlock the
door.
The police were notified of the robbery but so
far have been unable to
get a clue as to who the
guilty parties are.
One of the frame
buildings owned by the
White Silica Sand Co.,
who are operating to the
north of the Elk County
Home, was destroyed by
fire yesterday morning.
The wearing apparel of
the workmen employed
at the mines, tools, etc.
were destroyed. The fire
was caused by dynamite,
which was being thawed
out, catching fire. The loss
was about $100.
A meeting of the
St. Marys faction of “Suffragettes” was held last
evening on Washington
Street, ostensibly to partake of the hospitality of
the Misses Ida and Elizabeth Dippold, but through
a leak in the inner circle
we have discovered that
the party was held to
bring the ladies in-waiting
together to devise ways
and means of entrapping
some of the young men of
town not matrimonially
inclined during the year
1916, which, as we all
know, is a leap year and
gives the members of the
fair sex privileges not
granted ordinarily.
The parlor of the Dippold home was beautifully
decorated for the occasion,
a photograph of each guest
promiscuously displayed
being one of the chief features of the decorations.
A “suffragette” luncheon
was served and while the
pleasant event was in
progress, plans for catching the unwary were laid.
From what we have been
able to learn of this mystic conference it seems to
us that it were well for the
masculine element of this
town who have attained
the age of 18 and are still
vow-free to be on their
guard if they wish to still

The Daily Press
Subs Todman and Toussaint provide lift for Steelers
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jordan Todman and Fitzgerald
Toussaint have spent their respective NFL careers finding
work where they could get it,
quietly doing their business on
the scout team or second string,
never wavering in their belief
they could be difference makers
if given the chance.
In the rain on the road with
the season in the balance, the
two Pittsburgh Steelers reserves did more than just serve
as placeholders for injured
starter DeAngelo Williams.
They proved they can make it
in the unforgiving crucible of
the playoffs.
Todman ran for a gamehigh 65 yards while Toussaint
had 118 yards of total offense
in Pittsburgh’s 18-16 wild-card
win over the Bengals on Saturday. Though Williams is hopeful his injured right foot will
be good enough to go for next
weekend’s trip to Denver, the
Steelers running game appears
to be in good hands either way.
“It’s still unbelievable man,”
Toussaint said.
Kinda.
Pittsburgh signed Todman
on Sept. 6 after he failed to
make the final 53-man roster
in Carolina (despite a 49-yard
touchdown sprint against the
Steelers in the preseason finale) and added Toussaint to the
practice squad a day later. They
worked most of the year as “in
case of emergency, break glass”
options behind Williams and
Le’Veon Bell. Then Bell tore a
ligament in his right knee on
Nov. 1 and Williams had his
right foot crunched while facing
Cleveland in Week 17.
So much for being afterthoughts.
Yet Todman and Toussaint
(already being dubbed “TNT”
in some social media circles)
hardly seemed overcome by the
stage or facing the league’s seventh-ranked run defense. Toussaint’s first carry lost a yard but
his second was an authoritative
burst over left tackle for nine.
Todman entered late in the first
quarter and darted for 23 yards
on consecutive carries.
“I felt like we were pretty
good, pretty consistent,” Todman said. “We had a little
rhythm.”
They began the night with
all of 76 yards rushing on the
season — about 1,460 yards less
than the two guys they were replacing. Yet Todman and Toussaint kept finding room and
taking some of the pressure off
quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who had trouble facing an
occasional downpour and a Cincinnati pass rush that rarely let
him get comfortable.
At 5-foot-10, 200 pounds,
Toussaint lacks Bell’s quick feet
or subtlety. He was checked
for a concussion when a collision sent the top of his helmet
crashing onto the bridge of his
nose, creating a gash that made
him look like a stunt double in
“Creed.”
“They ran some tests on me,
had me say a couple things,”
Toussaint said. “The finger test,
I passed it with flying colors
and I was good.”
The Steelers needed him to
be. The player who came in with
three receptions in his brief ca-

Individual top three

Mandy Geci and Hannah
Lenze. Gnan won the 500
freestyle and placed second in the 100 backstroke.
Geci was second in the 50

100 breaststroke. Lenze
was third in the 500 freestyle.
The 200 medley relay
and 200 freestyle relay
teams also placed second.
In the boys meet,
Clearfield won with 289
points followed by Du-

reer played a vital role in Pittsburgh’s last-gasp drive. Trailing
by two with less than 90 seconds
to go and with Roethlisberger’s
range limited thanks to a throbbing right shoulder, Toussaint
suddenly became the most dangerous player on the field.
He caught consecutive lobs
of seven and 10 yards to push
the Steelers toward midfield
and only Cincinnati defensive
end Michael Johnson’s outstretched arm prevented a surprise draw play from the Pittsburgh 37 from turning into a
big gainer.
“When you can go out there
and got both guys out there,
both making plays (it shows)
they have confidence in both of
us,” Toussaint said.
A confidence Pittsburgh expects to carry over to Denver.
Even if Williams can play, it’s
almost a given that Toussaint
and Todman will be on the field
at some point as the Steelers
try to earn a trip to the AFC
championship game for the first
time in five years.
Whatever jitters they may
have carried with them into the
postseason are now a distant
memory. Todman, who bounced
from Minnesota to San Diego
to Jacksonville to Carolina before winding up in Pittsburgh,
had to wait five years to be indoctrinated into the playoffs. It
proved to be well worth it.
“That was probably the
most stressful one, the most ups
and downs, highs and lows,”
he said. “It’s amazing how one
little thing can change the outcome of the game.”
Or maybe not so little. The
Steelers are still playing thanks
in part to contributions from
two players who heard head
coach Mike Tomlin repeat his
“next man up” mantra ad nauseam all season and took it to
heart. Sure, there was a lot of
chaos in the final seconds. That
was new. The Steelers finding a
way to win in January was not,
no matter who is on the field.
“I just believe in the guys in
this room and the way we prepare all week long,” Toussaint
said. “That gets us out of stadiums like that.”

Gutsy play helps Tide beat
Spurs win 8th straight in Nets’
Clemson 45-40 for national title first game since shake-up
GLENDALE, Arizona
(AP) — Alabama needed
it all to win the toughest
national title game it had
ever played during the
Nick Saban dynasty. All of
its power. All of its speed.
Even one gutsy trick.
Derrick Henry, O.J.
Howard
and
Kenyan
Drake hit No. 1 Clemson
with huge plays, and Alabama outlasted the dynamic play of dual-threat
quarterback
Deshaun
Watson to win the College
Football Playoff championship 45-40 on Monday
night.
The Crimson Tide (141) won its three previous
championship game ap-
pearances in runaway
fashion. This game was
an instant classic — and
it turned on maybe the
boldest call of Saban’s career.
With 10:34 left in the
fourth quarter and Alabama having just tied the
game with a short field
goal, Saban took a gamble to try to keep the ball
away from Watson and
the Tigers. He called for
a high-bouncing onside
kick that Tide defensive
Marlon Humphrey caught
over the shoulder at midfield.
Tide ball.
Moments later, Alabama also took back the

NEW YORK (AP) —
The Spurs are the NBA’s
pillar of consistency of
stability, an organization
these Nets could only hope
to resemble — on the court
and in the front office.
“San Antonio is the
golden standard for the
NBA,” Nets interim coach
Tony Brown said.
LaMarcus
Aldridge
had 25 points and 11 rebounds as the Spurs extended their winning
streak to eight with a 10679 victory Monday night
over Brooklyn in the Nets’
first game since an organizational shake-up.
A day after coach Lionel Hollins was fired and
general manager Billy
King
reassigned,
the
Nets dropped their 10th
straight at home and fifth
in a row overall.
“We ran into a sledgehammer of a team,”
Brown said. “They definitely know how to play
together and that’s something we’re going to strive
and try to do here.”
Kawhi Leonard added
17 points for the Spurs,
who go to Detroit on Tuesday before putting their
31-game home winning
streak on the line Thursday in a showdown with
Cleveland.
The Spurs (33-6) were
up seven at halftime before

dominating the second
half, just as they did in
their 102-75 victory over
the Nets on Oct. 30. Those
are two of their 14 wins
by 20 or more points this
season, and their leadership under Gregg Popovich and general manager
R.C. Buford matters just
as much as the contributions of the players.
“It’s consistency,” Aldridge said. “There’s no
surprises. You know what
you’re going to get day
in and day out, game in
game out, so it just makes
it easier to do your job for
sure.”
Brook Lopez scored
18 points and Joe Johnson had 16 for the Nets,
who haven’t won at home
in more than a month.
Brown moved guards
Wayne Ellington and Donald Sloan into the starting
lineup, but they combined
for just 10 points on 4-of12 shooting.
The Nets fell to 10-28,
hours after owner Mikhail
Prokhorov said the team
needed a “reset” and that
choosing to start it in the
middle of the season was
an easy decision. But
no change could change
things against the Spurs,
the latest visiting team
to win the crowd and the
game in Brooklyn.
“You’ve got to give
them a lot of credit first.
They’re a great, arguably the best team in this
league, but you have to
stay poised, you have to
stick to your game plan,”
Johnson said.
“We had to do a great
job for 48 minutes and obviously in the third quarter they opened it up.”
Fans cheered loudest
for 7-foot-3 Serbian Boban
Marjanovic, who finished
with 13 points and was on
the floor in the final seconds when a “Go Spurs
Go!” chant broke out.
“This is good because
if people love you, you are
good,” Marjanovic said
of the cheers, “and I feel
great.”

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

Banged-up Wizards cruise
past Bulls for 114-100 win
ECC junior high
downs SMA
CHICAGO (AP) —
John Wall had 17 points
and 10 assists to help the
banged-up
Washington
Wizards pull away from the
Chicago Bulls for a 114-100
victory on Monday night.
Washington had seven
players score in double figures in its second straight
win after a stretch of five
losses in six games. Ramon
Sessions had 16 points, and
Garrett Temple, Otto Porter Jr. and Nene scored 14
apiece.
The Wizards led by
as many as 18 points
while playing without key
performers Marcin Gortat, Kris Humphries and
Bradley Beal. Gortat was
scratched with a sore left
knee, Humphries missed
his fourth straight game
with a sore right knee and
Beal remains out due to a
stress reaction in his lower
right leg.
The Elk County Catholic junior high basketball team defeated the St.
Marys Area squad by a 4429 score Friday afternoon
at the SMAHS gym.
Elk took an 8-4 first
quarter lead and outscored
the Dutch 9-7 in the second quarter for a 17-11
halftime lead.
The third period saw
the Crusaders outscore the
Dutch 18-8. In the fourth
period St. Marys outscored
Elk 10-9 making the final
score 44-29 in favor of Elk
Catholic.

Bulls center Joakim
Noah had no points and
nine rebounds in a little
under 19 minutes in his
return from a left shoulder
sprain. It was Noah’s first
game since he got hurt in
the third quarter of a 105102 loss to Brooklyn on
Dec. 21.
Noah was blocked from
behind by Wall with 2:19

and then grabbed his shoulder after he hit the ground.
But he stayed in the game.

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

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

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

ANNIE’S MAILBOX®
COPYRIGHT 2001 CREATORS SINDICATE, INC.
Dear Annie: In October, I visited
my family in France. Three weeks after I returned home, the terrorist attacks occurred. My husband was out of
town and I was all alone. My family in
France, thankfully, was safe.
I consider myself a loyal friend.
However, only one person called to
ask about my family and about me.
That person was actually a business
acquaintance. I am deeply grateful for
that call, but truly surprised and disappointed that there were no others. A
family member phoned two days later,
saying he had been so busy with work
that he didn’t hear about the attacks
until later. I was polite, but seriously,
people would have to be living under a
rock not to have heard the news immediately.
It was an extremely difficult time
for me, and I am terribly hurt and angry
that no one else took a few seconds
to ask whether my family was OK or
to find out how I was handling things.
I received a Christmas card from one
friend who wrote only to brag about her
job promotion.
Annie, all of these so-called
friends are well aware that much of my
family lives in France. I no longer wish
to associate with these people. What
can I say if any of them call and want
to get together with me? -- Still Hurting
Dear Hurting: People tend to be
self-absorbed and sometimes don’t
think of another person’s specific situation when they hear about a tragedy
far away. Please give your friends a
chance to make it up to you. If they call,
tell them that you were hurt and disappointed that you didn’t hear from them
at the time. Give them the opportunity
to apologize. You will be much less an-

gry and upset if you can grant forgiveness and start fresh. Of course, if they
offer feeble excuses and make no attempt to say they are sorry, feel free to
stop responding to their calls.
Dear Annie: As my mother got
older, she used to worry about her faraway friends when she didn’t hear from
them at Christmas. She thought maybe
they had gone into a nursing home or
were homebound and unable to correspond. Or maybe they had died.
So when my mother moved to
a nursing home near us, I decided to
make sure this didn’t happen to her.
I wrote a newsy letter about how she
was doing, and added where she was
living, along with the address. I printed
it on Christmas stationery and sent it in
the first part of December.
Well, Annie, I want to tell you that
the response was overwhelming. She
received Christmas cards from nearly
all of her friends. Some wrote long,
newsy letters of their own, and a few of
them even wrote letters to me.
It was very rewarding and gratifying, and Mom felt that she was still a
part of her friends’ lives. I thought you
might like to pass this on to others so
they will know to do it during the next
holiday season. -- Grateful Daughter
Dear Daughter: This is a sweet
idea and an excellent way to keep others apprised of Mom’s situation and encourage them to contact her. Seniors,
especially those who move away from
familiar surroundings, often feel isolated. Thank you for providing a lovely
way to stay connected.

Powerball boosted to record $1.4 billion jackpot
MIDDLETOWN – The
Powerball jackpot for the
Jan. 13 drawing was increased today to a world
record $1.4 billion annuity value or an $868 million cash prize – thanks to
strong ticket sales in participating states.
Before rolling to a $1.3
billion jackpot on Saturday night, Powerball produced hundreds of thousands of winners across
Pennsylvania – including
a $1 million winner, seven
winners of $150,000, numerous $50,000 winners
and many more.
The $1 million winning ticket matched the
five white balls drawn, 1619-32-34-57, but not the
red Powerball 13, to win a
prize of $1 million less 25
percent federal withholding. The retailer, Wilson’s
Check Cashing, 1201 E.
Susquehanna Ave., Philadelphia, earns a selling
bonus of $5,000.
Seven winning Powerball tickets sold in Pennsylvania matched 4 of 5
numbers drawn plus the
Powerball, and purchased
Power Play, each receiving
$150,000. Those tickets
were sold at the following
retailers, which will each
receive a $500 selling bonus:
Get Go, 3029 Washington Pike, Bridgeville,
Allegheny County
Wegmans Food Market, 5028 W. Ridge Road,

Rutters, 6837 Lincoln Way East, Fayetteville, Franklin County

Pennsylvania
Lottery Powerball tickets won prizes of various amounts in the Jan.
9
drawing,
including
157,205 tickets purchased
with the Power Play option that multiplied their
prizes by three. See the
full Jan. 9 payout listing
at palottery.com.
Players are reminded
to check every ticket, every time. In Pennsylvania,
winners have one year
from the drawing date to
claim their prizes. Winners cannot be identified
until prizes are claimed
and tickets are validated.
“Congratulations
to
all our winners in Saturday’s Powerball drawing,”
said Pennsylvania Lottery
Executive Director Drew
Svitko. “As we get ready
for Wednesday’s drawing,
we want to remind players to please play responsibly because it only takes
one ticket to win.”
This jackpot has been
rolling since the Nov. 4,
2015, drawing. Since then,
in Pennsylvania alone,
Powerball has produced a
total of more than 2.1 mil-

Svitko noted that the
jackpot run has been good
for Powerball players and
also the older Pennsylvanians who benefit from
Lottery proceeds. Last
year, the Pennsylvania
Lottery generated over $1
billion to support benefit
programs for older adults.
If Wednesday’s jackpot
is won by a Pennsylvania
player, it would become
the state’s 20th multistate jackpot win. The
Pennsylvania Lottery has
sold 17 jackpot-winning
Powerball tickets and two
jackpot-winning
Mega
Millions tickets.
The largest Powerball
prize Pennsylvania has
ever awarded was a $110.2
million cash-value jackpot
claimed by a New Jersey
couple in May, 2004. The
state’s largest Powerball
group win was a $107.5
million
cash
jackpot
shared by 48 transit workers in the Philadelphia
area in April, 2012.
The Powerball jackpot
for the Wednesday, Jan.
13, drawing has an annuity value of $1.3 billion or a
cash value of $806 million.
