BENEZETTE – Wildlife Conservation Offi cer Derek Daly explained to the crowd how the Pennsylvania Game Commis-sion's article search demonstra-tion would work while his part-

ner Gunner waited out of sight in their vehicle.

The demonstration was part of the wide variety of activities that took place during the Penn-sylvania Great Outdoors Elk Expo, which was held at the Elk Country Visitor Center in Bene-zette in mid-August, and it gave

the game commission a chance to let members of the public see fi rsthand how the agency is con-tinuing to improve its investiga-tive capabilities.

According to reports, Clari-on County Coroner Terry Shaf-fer confi rmed that a body of a juvenile female had been found in Clarion County on Sunday, though as of press time there was no confi rmation as to whether it was that of a 13-year-old Clarion girl who has been missing since Friday.

Shevy McGiffi n, 13, a sev-enth grade student at Clarion-Limestone High School, report-edly left her home in Clarion Township on Friday evening just before 7 p.m. and walked to the Comet Food Warehouse and pur-chased a coloring book. She never

returned home and authorities spent the weekend investigating her whereabouts.

A community gathering was held in Clarion Township on Sunday afternoon in an effort to draw attention to McGiffi n's dis-appearance, with participants handing out fl yers and search-ing areas near where the girl was last seen.

McGiffi n is described as being 4'8" tall with a husky build. She has blonde hair, which she was wearing pulled back in a pony-tail. She was last seen wearing a pink Under Armour hoodie, pink shorts and black Nike sandals.

JOHNSONBURG – In an ef-fort to raise awareness and com-bat the growing drug epidemic, organizers hosted an anti-drug meeting Saturday afternoon in Johnsonburg.

Gary Tennis, secretary of the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) and Senator John Rafferty (R-44) were the event’s guest speakers.

Rafferty, serving Berks, Chester and Montgomery coun-ties, said the Senate is focusing on the heroin crisis.

“Republicans and Democrats are working together on the is-sue. This is a key issue in Har-

risburg,” he said. According to Rafferty, the

state is starting to get more pro-active, specifi cally with the re-cord number of prescription drug cases.

Pharmacies are being pro-vided the tools to combat pre-scription drug abuse as well as working closely with the medi-cal community to have them in-volved.

Rafferty said state govern-ment will have to go about the is-sue with a holistic approach with education.

“We can’t jail our way out of this problem. We need to get ad-dicts the help they need,” Raf-

Efforts continue to raise awareness of drug abuse

Monday, Sept. 11, 1916While Henry Lobbey

was mounting his wheel on Railroad Street yester-day morning at Ford car, the property of an out of town party whose name was not learned, ran into the wheel, throwing Lab-bey from it, but fortunate-ly he was unhurt. The bi-cycle was badly damaged and the driver promptly paid for the damage done. Tuesday, Sept. 12, 1916

In these days of speeding automobiles and motorcycles, great danger stares the farmer in the face, who will drive along the country road after dark with no lights on his rig. Especially is this true of those who drive on the macadam between Rus-sell and Warren, says the Warren Mirror. Hundreds of autos pass over the road during the night and with their bright lights so dazzling that the drivers of both cars are almost hopelessly blinded when meeting. A rig, although on its proper side of the highway, could easily be run down. Heavy damage would likely result to say nothing of the danger to the lives of the occupants of the vehicles.

It is a regrettable fact that the proposed law re-quiring all vehicles to car-ry lights did not pass the last term of legislature, and it is hoped that the legislature of 1916-1917 will act favorably upon a measure of that kind.

That no accidents of any great moment have occurred in this immedi-ate vicinity as a result of the absence of lights does not signify that the dan-ger is not there. Such acci-dents have been reported from other places within a few miles of Warren.

Naturally enough the person driving the bug-gy without lights, if run down, would claim that he was not at fault as he was on the right side of the road, etc. But the consolation to be derived from knowing that he was not to blame would be nil in comparison to the in-juries sustained by him-self or those with him. No automobile driver enjoys an accident, even if he is absolutely blameless, and there are few, if any, who would not go to almost

any extent to avoid one. It seems that here is

a case where prevention is worth more than cure. Farmers and all who drive horses on the highway af-ter dark should not wait until they are compelled by the law to carry lights, but should, for their own safety and the safety of others, voluntarily take such precautions.

William Varner, of South St. Marys Street, was given a hearing this morning before Squire Forster, charged with as-sault and battery upon his aged mother. It was bought out at the hear-ing that he beat up his mother to such an extent that two of her ribs were broken and she was other-wise badly bruised. Squire Forster held Varner under $500 bail for court, which he was unable to furnish. He was taken to the Ridg-way jail this morning by Chief of Police O’Dennell. Wednesday, Sept. 13, 1916

The beautiful little grove, located on Silver Creek west of town, was the scene of a very pleas-ant affair last evening when 12 couples enjoyed a marshmallow and wiener roast at that spot. The fact that the night was rather cool did not in any way mar the jollity and every-one present claims it was one of the most pleasant of similar occasions given in that vicinity. Incidentally they report that pickles were in great demand by certain of the young men in attendance.

Kane, Sept. 12 – Two Italians, from Kane, are being held in the Forest County jail at Tionesta in connection with the mur-derous assault committed on W. W. Bowman, Kane lumberman, at his mill near Marienville Monday afternoon. Formal charg-es probably will not be preferred until Mr. Bow-man has suffi ciently re-covered to appear against them. Reports of his con-dition are very favorable. The gaping wound in his jaw was sewed up Mon-day afternoon. He shook the shock well and though weak from loss of blood, he is resting easily. It is possible that Mr. Bow-man will be brought to his home at Kane today as his physician was to decide

today on the advisabilityof the trip.

Two automobilescame together on thecorner of Center Streetlast evening about 8 p.m. and both were slightlydamaged. The cars wereowned by Frank A. Kauland William Cheatle. Thursday, Sept. 14, 1916

As the result of a peculiar accident in Reyn-oldsville yesterday after-noon about 1 p.m., one young lad was killed andanother seriously injured.

The DeadFrancis Howlett, aged

14 years, smothered to death.

The InjuredElmer Strouse, aged

14 years, back badlywrenched, internally in-jured.

Young Howlett, to-gether with Strouse andfour other boys of aboutthe same age, Jos. Pat-terson, William Howlett,Donald Smith and Wal-lace Zeitler, had been playing for several weeksin construction what theydesignated as an IndianHouse, digging into theclay bank along the roadleading over to the silkmill. The excavation hadextended into the bank forseveral feet, and all theyoungsters were in thecave working to extend itfurther back. Suddenly,without any warning theearth overhead gave way.Four of the youngsterssucceeded in getting clearof the descending dirt, but young Howlett and Strou-se were caught. Strousewas only partially buriedand men who were hastilysummoned by the otherboys succeeded in digginghim out within fi ve min-utes. Howlett was com-pletely buried under theclay and it required theunited efforts of four menworking with feverish ra-pidity for a space of over one half hour before hisbody was recovered.

A jolly crowd ofyoung people held a corn roast and dance at thehome of Joseph Benningerlast evening. All presenthad a jolly good time.

ferty said. “There is not a more important issue fac-ing the health and safety of our commonwealth than this.”

The DDAP has insti-tuted a variety of policies and programs to address the drug abuse epidemic ranging from the Pre-scription Drug Monitoring Program, improving licen-sure regulatory standards and processes, creating a prescription drug Take-Back program, to police intervention efforts, im-proving treatment bed capacity, workforce devel-opment and creating of an overdose task force.

Tennis is a former prosecutor and was ap-pointed to his current po-sition in 2012.

“Over the past 10 years, we have descended into the worst overdose epidemic in mankind,” Tennis said.

The epidemic consists of 10 Pennsylvanians dy-ing each day from an over-dose and 1,000 Americans dying each week from overdoses.

“Families of addicts have prayed, fought and searched and ultimately they have lost and have a lifetime of grief,” Tennis said. “It doesn’t have to be that way.”

One of the main cul-prits cited by Tennis is the federal government cut-ting treatment funding by 26 percent.

Tennis encouraged residents to reach out to their congressional del-egates on the matter.

“We do not have a

treatment and prevention infrastructure in place,” Tennis said.

Fatal drug overdoses are the biggest public health crisis to hit the Commonwealth and na-tion in the last 100 years.

In 2014, the number of Pennsylvanians who died of overdoses was 2,500. The total number of deaths for 2015 will be higher when the fi nal number is tallied and of-fi cials expect 2016 to be even higher.

“Until we make the decision economically to fully resolve funding treatment we will see one rolling drug epidemic af-ter another,” he said. “It’s going to get worse before it gets better. We need to begin ramping up fund-ing.”

Statistics show four out of fi ve heroin addicts started with prescription opioids.

“The cost of not treat-ing this disease is enor-mous,” Tennis said.

He cited the ongoing healthcare costs of treat-ing those with Hepati-tis C spread by sharing needles, lost time at jobs due to drug use, domes-tic violence incidents and costs to house inmates in prisons.

Looking at cost ben-efi t studies show for ev-ery $1 spent on treatment efforts reduces the cost to taxpayers by $7 and an additional amount in healthcare costs.

Approximately 70-80 percent of those in the state prison system have

an undiagnosed or under-treated addiction.

“Your taxes are higher because we don’t treat ad-diction,” he said.

By conducting treat-ment with clinical integ-rity it is possible to reduce the recidivism rate by 70 percent.

Tennis said there is a popular perception that until addicts are ready to enter rehab they will not succeed.

Contrary to that per-ception, Tennis noted that those involved in coerced treatment, such as court ordered treatment, have a slightly better outcome than those entering treat-ment on their own.

Tennis claims Penn-sylvania has the best in-surance law in Act 106 that on stated-based poli-cies it is illegal to manage down a doctor’s order.

“In Pennsylvania we do better than a lot of states, but that’s not good enough,” he added.

Denny Heindl, presi-dent of Laurel Media, Inc., and event organizer welcomed those in atten-dance along with Harlan Beagley, publisher of The Ridgway Record, The Dai-ly Press and The Kane Re-publican.

Previous Elk County Anti-Drug meetings have been held in Ridgway, St. Marys and Kane. The next forum will be held in Bennetts Valley with a time and date to be deter-mined.

“These meetings have made a difference,” Beagley said.

unteer rub his scent on an empty shell casing and toss it into an area along the edge of the fi eld near the visitor center.

Daly then went and got his partner from the vehicle. Despite the large crowd gathered around to watch the demonstration, it did not take Gunner long to focus on the task at hand and quickly locate the cas-ing. Daly rewarded him with a toy ball, which Gun-ner happily caught on its second bounce.

Gunner may be rela-tively new to the game commission force, but he is no ordinary PGC staff member. He is a young male Labrador retriever, and he and Daly are one of three such teams operating throughout the state. They cover the southcentral and northcentral regions while Storm, a female black lab, covers the southwest and northwest regions and Sky, a female yellow lab, covers the southeast and north-east regions.

The three dogs are part of the game commission's K9 program, which has been revamped within the last two years.

"Our initial K9 pro-gram started back around 2000-2001," Daly ex-plained. "We only had two dogs in the state at that time, and they were dis-trict offi cers. One was in Erie and one was in Lan-caster County. The dogs made a lot of good cases for us and were a good success for us, but there were some strategic issues or district issues with having them placed in districts at differ-ent ends of the state."

One of those original dogs retired due to old age, while the other succumbed to a health issue.

When the game com-mission decided to revamp the K9 program, they de-cided to have each of the dogs responsible for spe-cifi c regions rather than districts.

"Most of the offi cers in your county work in dis-tricts. We work under an investigations unit," Daly said. "We have other re-sponsibilities, but we can be more free ranging with the canine. If we get called

somewhere in the state, I can respond a little easier than an offi cer that has district responsibilities."

Daly and the handlers for the two other K9s have all been partnered with their dogs since they were puppies.

"We're doing it a little different. Some canine units will start them at a year and a half or so. Our fi rst program, we started puppies. It was successful. It's a little more work hav-ing to train the puppy and everything, but we get the dogs started a little sooner that way and we also build a pretty good bond with the handler and dog that way as well," Daly said.

All three of the dogs came from a kennel in Maine, and Daly picked Gunner up when he was around eight weeks old.

"It's just like having any other puppy," Daly said. "He's a Labrador pup-py. He's into everything. But we start training from a young age as well. It's your basic stuff with basic obedience, but we also do a lot of socialization. We take him and try to expose him to all different working en-vironments that he'll be in, whether it be a cow pasture or walking through a town or in a crowd of people like this. We try and get them socialized, that way that isn't so much of a distrac-tion for them when they have to actually go to work in an environment like that."

All three of the dogs, Daly noted, are around the same age and are currently about one year and seven months old. In addition to their socialization training, the young K9s have also been working on obstacle courses to get them used to things like going over cat-walks, up stairs, through tunnels and over hurdles. The point of those exercis-es, he explained, is to build confi dence so that the dogs are already used to those activities if they encounter them while on the job.

Each of the dogs has three main tasks for which they are trained: article searches, tracking and wildlife detection.

"They're still going

through some fi ne tun-ing and training, but they know what they're sup-posed to do now at this point in the game," Daly said. "It's just fi ne tuning it and putting more and more challenging situa-tions to build their search behaviors and stuff so they learn to work around dif-ferent things they may run into."

According to Daly, searching for articles is the fi rst skill the dogs were taught.

"There's a reason be-hind that," he explained. "It's because the articles they look for are not natu-ral for a dog to search for. Dogs like to search for birds. They like to search for dead stuff, animal stuff, but they don't like to search for guns, shotgun shells, rifl e casings and knives and things like that natu-rally. We start it as a game at a young age. The article search is based mainly around human scent, but they develop a scent drive for the gunpowder scent as well."

Having the K9s ad-ept at that particular skill is particularly useful be-cause Daly and the other WCOs cannot always get to the scene of an incident right away. The territories they cover are large and so they often have to rely on witness testimony and reconstruct scenes where poaching incidents, hunt-ing accidents, safety zone violations and other inci-dents happen.

"The dog can fi nd a little rifl e cartridge out in the fi eld where we could walk all over the place and never fi nd it. We might run a metal detector and hit on every piece of metal scat-tered through a fi eld or along a roadway and never fi nd it, whereas the dog

uses its nose to locate that item," Daly said.

The dogs were all trained to respond to the command "seek," and from an early age they were prompted to put their heads down to search the ground. Searches can take place both on or off a lead, and Daly explained that off lead is the preferred meth-od because it feels more natural for the dogs.

"When they fi nd the article, we, as the han-dler, have to watch their head indications and how they're moving their head, because a lot of times it's a quick head turn and if they're doing what they're supposed to do, they'll bracket toward the source to try and fi nd it," Daly said. "They might stick their nose down and paw, and then they'll lay down and basically keep it be-tween their feet and then we'll know there's some-thing there. One thing we've got to keep in mind is maybe the terrain is a little rough or something like that where they don't want to lay down, so they'll just stand there and you've got to be watching."

In addition to Gun-ner's article search skills, Daly also demonstrated his tracking prowess, though he noted that Gunner and the PGC's other K9s are not true tracking dogs.

"They're trailing dogs," Daly explained. "A track-ing dog basically takes advantage of step by step. Trailing dogs are working the whole scent zone. So you may have walked over there but the wind is blow-ing a little bit this way and all of your scent is pulling over here. The dog might work 10 to 20 yards off your actual track, so you're taking advantage of a wid-er area."

The advantage of training the dogs to trail rather than track is that they are able to cover more ground faster than a track-ing dog. They pick up on both human scent and the disturbance of soil, and they are always on a har-ness when trailing, which allows for their handler to have greater control.

"We may use them in a not-so-safe situation at times," Daly said. "They can be used if somebody would fl ee from us from a vehicle or from a scene that happened in the woods."

The dogs can also be used in a search and rescue capacity as well, he noted.

Gunner and his fellow PGC K9s are also being trained at wildlife detec-tion, and those skills are still in the process of be-ing fi ne tuned. Each of the animals is trained to de-tect deer, bear, elk, turkey and waterfowl scent and responds to the command, "fi nd."

"We start them on scent boxes fi rst," Daly said. "We'll line up maybe fi ve or six boxes in a row spread out with a little hole in the top, but only one box will have the aid in it. It might have deer tails in it or some other

deer meat. We work them up and down that line and when they hit the box they smell that in there. Then we start to condition the scent response."

Unlike some agencies that condition the animals to have an aggressive re-sponse, the PGC's K9s have all been trained to sit when they detect a wildlife aid. This response, Daly explained, is safer for both the dogs and people. The dogs might locate wildlife that was harvested legally and simply sitting to in-dicate something is there prevents anything from be-ing scratched or harmed.

Once the dogs were conditioned to respond to various animal scents, they began to be presented with more challenging scenarios to locate hidden items.

"We start stashing stuff in buildings andstuff like that. We'll do low hides. We'll do hides at medium height and ones at elevated height," Daly said. "That starts to build a search pattern. The dog will go in and work the room up and down, locate the item and sit down and tell us there's something there. They should sit as close as possible to where the item is."

NEW YORK (AP) — Hillary Clinton's diag-nosis of pneumonia is a serious concern, but some-thing from which she soon should recover, several doctors and medical ex-perts said Sunday.

Clinton, 68, unexpect-edly left a 9/11 anniversa-ry ceremony in New York after she became "over-heated and dehydrated," her doctor said. Clinton went to her daughter's nearby apartment for a short stay, and emerged before noon to tell report-ers, "I'm feeling great."

Several hours later, Clinton's physician said the Democratic presi-dential nominee was di-agnosed on Friday with pneumonia. "She was put on antibiotics, and advised to rest and modify her schedule," said Dr. Lisa R. Bardack, an internist who practices near Clinton's suburban New York home.

Bardack added in a statement that Clinton, after an exam Sunday af-ternoon at her home, "is now rehydrated and recov-ering nicely."

A look at pneumonia and Clinton's health his-tory.

–WHAT IS

PNEUMONIA?Pneumonia is an infec-

tion of the lungs. Often it's a bacterial infection that sweeps in after a cold or fl u virus. Each year, about 1 million people in the United States seek hospi-tal care because of pneu-monia, and it causes tens of thousands of deaths, ac-cording to the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention.

A presidential can-didate is at high risk for such an infection, said Dr. William Schaffner, an in-fectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University.

"Candidates are con-stantly out in enclosed spaces, face to face with myriads of people," he said. "It's an ideal opportu-nity for the transmission of a respiratory virus."

Added Dr. Stephen Hargarten, head of emer-gency medicine at the Medical College of Wiscon-sin: "I'm not surprised to

hear this happen to some-one engaged in the kind of frenetic schedule she has."

–HOW IS IT TREATED?

Pneumonia is com-monly treated quickly and effectively with antibiot-ics. Speaking generally and not about Clinton's case, Schaffner said pa-tients with a mild pneu-monia can recover with antibiotics, a few days of rest and good hydration. That's especially true of someone who does strenu-ous work, such as a rigor-ous campaign schedule.

Based on the available information, he said, "this should not in any way im-pede her function going forward."

But Clinton does need to take it seriously, some experts said.

People over age 65 have a harder time re-turning to normal than do younger patients. Many people her age need a week or more to recover from even a mild case of pneumonia, said Dr. Sha-ron Bergquist, an Emory

University assistant pro-fessor of medicine who specializes in internal medicine.

"The body needs rest. The more she pushes, the harder it is for her to re-cover," she said.

–CLINTON'S RECENT

HEALTH ISSUESClinton had a cough-

ing fi t while campaigning in Cleveland early last week. It was dismissed by her aides as allergies and by Clinton herself at that moment as stemming from "talking so much."

It's possible Clinton may have assumed that symptoms from an earlier viral infection were due to allergies, Schaffner said.

Clinton takes antihis-tamines, which can "dry you out," and dehydra-tion leads to a person be-ing susceptible to heat ex-haustion, Bergquist said.

Add in the possibil-ity of fever, shortness of breath or other possible symptoms from pneumo-nia, and you have a con-stellation of factors that could have explained her

feeling weak on Sunday, she said.

–CLINTON'S MEDICAL

HISTORYLast year, Clinton's

campaign released a let-ter from Bardack attest-ing to the former secretary of state's good health. The most notable events in Clinton's medical record included deep vein throm-bosis - or a blood clot, usu-ally in the leg - in 1998 and 2009, a broken elbow in 2009 and a concussion in 2012.

Clinton got a stomach virus while traveling in 2012 that left her so de-hyrdated that she fainted. She had a concussion that fall, and doctors treating her found a blood clot in a vein in the space between the brain and the skull be-hind her right ear. Clinton spent a few days in New York-Presbyterian Hospi-tal for treatment and took a monthlong absence from her role as secretary of state.

Bardack said testing the following year showed "complete resolution" of

the concussion's effects, including double vision, for which Clinton wore glasses with specialized lenses to address.

Other details from Bardack's letter included:

Clinton's blood pres-sure was 100 over 65. Her total cholesterol was 195; her LDL or "bad" choles-terol was 118, and her HDL or "good" cholesterol was 64 - all within healthy levels and not signaling the need for any medica-tions.

She had full cardiactesting, including an ul-trasound exam of arteries in her neck, and all was well.

Clinton has been di-agnosed with hypothyroid-ism, a common condition in women older than 60, in which the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough of certain important hor-mones.

Clinton's currentmedications include Ar-mour Thyroid, a thyroid hormone replacement, and antihistamines, vita-min B12 and a blood thin-ner named Coumadin.

Doctors: Pneumonia is serious but Clinton should bounce back

Guest Commentary

Guest Commentary

This country was built on protest, or so we are told. Americans fi ght for what is right, to correct injustices and to secure the freedoms and liberties we wish to enjoy. We teach our kids to admire Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the many others who organized nonviolent protests like sit-ins as a tool for challenging deep inequality. We talk about the importance of al-lies, or those who stand up with the oppressed, even if they themselves are not.

Yet when a well-paid professional athlete elects to use that same strategy we allegedly admire so much to call attention to the continued oppression of black people in this coun-try, he is critiqued for his privilege and denounced for being unpatriotic. As has been widely reported, San Francisco 49ers quarter-back Colin Kaepernick has been refusing to stand for the national anthem, saying, “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a fl ag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.” What real-ly seems to be at play here, then, is not that Kaeper-nick’s cause is unjust or his strategy unsound. Rather, it is that Americans want their athletes, especially those on the new planta-tions that are our football fi elds, to do as they’re told. Just stay in your place and all will be fi ne.

It’s also interesting to juxtapose the reaction to Kaepernick’s protest with the reactions to Donald

Trump, who wants to “make America great again,” which of course implies it is far from great right right now. It can’t be, as some have said, that Kaepernick’s salary with the NFL makes his com-plaint less legitimate, since Trump makes a crap-ton more than Kaepernick will ever dream to. Trump slings all kinds of criti-cism and hate in a far from peaceful fashion, yet is not told to “fi nd a country that works better for him,” as he recently recommended to Kaepernick.

The reactions of Trump, his political toadies, and a host of others (generally white) are the very real manifestations of white privilege. And they are fur-ther proof that we want to enjoy our brutally violent football without the bother of confronting anything more serious than when to grab the next beer and how many wings to eat. When other black athletes have shown solidarity for the Black Lives Mat-ter movement, supported justice for Trayvon Martin, or engaged in a host of other nonviolent protests in recent years, they too have faced such criticisms. In sum: Rich white men can complain. Black men should not, income regard-less.

The New York Giants’ Justin Pugh, in the very city where Eric Garner and, before him, Sean Bill, both black and unarmed, were killed by police, used Kaepernick’s protest to

pledge support for “dif-ferent opinions” but most importantly for the mili-tary who risk their lives for the fl ag. What Pugh sees as an issue of opinion is unclear; it is undoubtedly true oppression of people of color remains a problem in the U.S. This is not Kaepe-rnick’s opinion. It is fact.

Minnesota Viking Alex Boone called the protest shameful and denounced it for being disrespectful. Yet, as others have noted, Boone did not call out the “disrespect” of the Min-nesota police who killed a black man, Philando Cas-tile, during a traffi c stop. Former 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh also referred to Kaepernick’s protest as disrespectful, later claim-ing it wasn’t the position but rather the action to which he disagreed. New Orleans Saint Drew Brees commented similarly, despite playing in a sta-dium close to where Alton Sterling was killed by police and in a state that is generally considered the most unequal for people of color. And his coach Sean Payton’s assertion that they have “more important things” they are working on within the stadium is not at all minimizing or disrespectful?

An NFL executive has claimed that he hasn’t seen this much dislike for a player since Rae Carruth, who is incarcerated for hiring someone to kill his pregnant girlfriend. Wow. Truth-telling is not the strong suit of the NFL, it

seems, if a peaceful protes-tor is being compared to a convicted violent criminal.

Many others have sup-ported Kaepernick, thank-fully. White female soccer player Megan Rapinoe knelt during the playing of the national anthem before a game on September 3. She explained, “Being a gay American, I know what it means to look at the fl ag and not have it protect all of your liberties. It was something small that I could do and something that I plan to keep doing in the future and hopefully spark some meaningful conversation around it. It’s important to have white people stand in support of people of color on this. We don’t need to be the leading voice, of course, but stand-ing in support of them is something that’s really powerful.”

Veterans are not all uniform in their response, of course, but the hashtag #VeteransForKaepernick makes it clear that some are not at all disrespected by his action, seeing it instead as precisely what they fi ght for. And, in an interesting turn of events, sales of Kaepernick’s jerseys have skyrocketed since he began the protest. Maybe there’s hope he can make Trump-like money af-ter all, and therefore be his criticisms of the U.S will be more widely applauded.

Protest and Disrespect: America in Black and White

Strangely, over a century, America's two major political parties gradually reversed identities, like the magnetic poles of Planet Earth switch-ing direction.

When the Republican Party was formed in 1856, it was fi ercely liberal, oppos-ing the expansion of slavery, calling for more spending on public education, seek-ing more open immigration, and the like. Compassionate Abraham Lincoln suited the new party's progressive agenda.

In that era, Democrats were conservatives, partly dominated by the slave-holding South. Those old-style Democrats generally opposed any government action to create jobs or help underdogs.

Through the latter half of the 19th century, the pattern of Republicans as liberals, Democrats as conservatives, generally held true. In 1888, the GOP elected President Benjamin Harrison (1833-1901) on a liberal platform seeking more social services.

Then in 1896, a reversal began when Democrats nominated populist fi re-brand William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925), "the Great Commoner."

"He was the fi rst liberal to win the Democratic Party presidential nomination," political scholar Rich Rubino wrote. "This represented a radical departure from the conservative roots of the Democratic Party."

Meanwhile, the GOP began shifting to conserva-tive. Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) -- a vice presi-dent who took the top offi ce after William McKinley was assassinated in 1901 -- was a Republican liberal who sup-ported a "Square Deal" for working families. He broke up monopolistic trusts of rich corporations. He champi-oned pure food and drugs. He created national parks and forests for the enjoy-ment of everyone. He won the 1906 Nobel Peace Prize for helping end war between Russia and Japan.

After leaving offi ce, Roos-evelt felt that his successor, William Howard Taft (1857-1930), was leading America too far to the right. So T.R. challenged Taft for the GOP nomination in 1912, and lost. In rebellion, Roosevelt gath-ered his liberal delegates and formed the Progressive Party, with a bold platform bordering on socialism.

The new-formed party called for universal medi-cal care under a National Health Service. It sought government pensions for retirees, plus compensation for the jobless and disabled. It sought a constitutional amendment to allow a fed-eral income tax. It supported voting by women, more freedom for workers to orga-

nize and strike, inheritance tax on rich estates, worker's compensation for on-the-job injuries, and many other left-wing goals.

The Progressive plat-form attacked big-money infl uence in politics, vowing "to destroy this invisible government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics."

Roosevelt was a fi ery orator and writer, saying: "I believe that there should be a very much heavier pro-gressive tax on very large incomes, a tax which should increase in a very marked fashion for the gigantic incomes."

While Roosevelt was campaigning in Milwaukee in 1912, a crazed assassin, John Schrank -- who claimed that the ghost of William McKinley asked him to avenge McKinley's death by killing Roosevelt -- shot the Progressive candidate in the chest. The bullet was partly defl ected by Roos-evelt's 50-page speech and his steel eyeglasses case, but wounded him nonetheless. Bleeding, he continued to orate unfazed.

Later, when reporters asked if the wounding would deter his campaign, Roos-evelt replied that he was "fi t as a bull moose." Thereafter, his party was dubbed the Bull Moose Party.

Progressives won about one-fourth of the 1912 popular vote, and Democrat Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924) attained the presidency. In 1916, Roosevelt declined the Progressive nomination, and the liberal party he created soon disintegrated.

In a sense, Teddy Roo-sevelt was the last major Republican liberal. Ensuing decades saw the GOP grow steadily more conservative, and Democrats acquire the liberal mantle.

In the 1960s, the "Great Society" of Democrat Lyndon Johnson (1908- 1973) vastly expanded the public safety net and gave legal equality to African Americans -- driv-ing racist Dixie out of the Democratic Party, into the GOP.

Then Republican President Ronald Reagan (1911-2004) mobilized the "religious right" of white evangelicals for his party. Later, extreme white con-servatives calling them-selves "Tea Party" militants emerged in the GOP.

All this outlines America's political fl ipfl op -- how the liberal Republican Party turned conservative, and the conservative Democratic Party turned liberal. It was a fascinating transition.

50th anniversary class reunion

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Adult audiences turned out in droves to take the plunge with "Sully," direc-tor Clint Eastwood's dra-matization of the Miracle on the Hudson. The fi lm took fl ight with $35.5 mil-lion, according to studio estimates Sunday, sur-passing expectations by around $10 million.

Tom Hanks stars as Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, who made an emergency landing of US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River in 2009, minutes after taking off. In addition to showing Sully's feat, the fi lm ex-plores the little-known National Transportation Safety Board investiga-tion of the landing.

Both audiences and critics responded strongly to the taut drama — East-wood's fi rst since "Ameri-can Sniper." An estimated 80 percent of those who turned out this weekend were over the age of 35, too, according to Warner Bros.

"This is the kind of so-phisticated drama that is the antidote for older au-diences to the youth-driv-en blockbuster stylings of the summer season," said Paul Dergarabedian, se-nior media analyst for box offi ce tracker comScore.

In fact, according to comScore's PostTrak au-dience survey, 39 percent turned out because of Hanks. Dergarabedian said that for stars that number is normally in the single digits.

Goldstein was also struck by how well the fi lm, despite its hyper-lo-cal New York story, played in all areas of North America.

The Warner Bros. fi lm cost a reported $60 mil-lion to produce. It's the fi rst-ever to be shot en-tirely with IMAX camer-as. The 375 IMAX screens accounted for about $4 million of the total this weekend.

Taking second place with $15 million was the Screen Gems thriller "When the Bough Breaks" starring Morris Chestnut and Regina Hill. It sur-passed its modest $10 mil-lion budget, but failed to meet both analyst expec-tations and the precedent set by last year's African-American thriller "The Perfect Guy," which made $25.9 million on the same weekend.

"Because of the suc-cess of so many of these fi lms, most of us thought it would do more this weekend, but no one is go-ing to be crying about it over at Sony. They're al-ready in the profi t mode," Dergarabedian said.

Rory Bruer, Sony's president of worldwide distribution, echoed that sentiment, stressing that "The Perfect Guy's" box of-

fi ce was "way beyond any-one's expectations."

"We're in good shape," Bruer said, noting that itis the latest in a string of successes for the studioincluding "Don't Breathe,"which placed third with$8.2 million, and "Sau-sage Party."

"Suicide Squad" tookfourth place with $5.7 mil-lion, while the animatedpic "The Wild Life" round-ed out the top fi ve with a dim $3.4 million.

LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — A Hanjin contain-er ship that was stranded off the California coast for more than a week began unloading Saturday af-ter a judge protected the global shipping giant from having its assets seized in the U.S. as it struggles to avoid bankruptcy.

The 1,145-foot-long Hanjin Greece began unloading tons of im-ported clothing, electron-ics, furniture and plastic goods, Port of Long Beach spokesman Lee Peterson said.

"This is good news for cargo owners and Ameri-can consumers, just in time for the holiday shop-ping season," Noel Hace-gaba, the port's chief com-mercial offi cer, said in a statement.

The Greece was one of four vessels that were blocked from entering or leaving the port after Hanjin fi led for bankrupt-cy protection on Aug. 31 in South Korea and the U.S. on Sept. 2.

Creditors had refused to extend it any fi nancial aid.

Dozens of ships around the world were stranded because Hanjin couldn't cover fuel bills or guarantee that dockwork-ers, crane operators, tug-boat captains and others would be paid for their services. The vessels re-portedly contain about $14 billion worth of mer-chandise.

The disruption has sent ocean shipping rates soaring and left major re-tailers scrambling to work out contingency plans to get their merchandise into stores.

Several ships were seized on behalf of credi-tors, including the Hanjin Montevideo, which was unable to leave Southern California after unload-ing. Two suppliers claim that Hanjin owes them about $775,000 for fuel in the ship's tanks.

On Friday, U.S. Bank-ruptcy Judge John K.

Sherwood in New Jersey granted Hanjin protection from any more seizures in United States territory.

Lawyers for Hanjin told the judge that a South Korean bankrupt-cy court had approved releasing $10 million to cover the costs of unload-ing the four ships that were off the U.S. coast, the Long Beach Press-Telegram reported (http://bit.ly/2cm69UT).

Other nations have granted similar protec-tions as Hanjin tries to keep afl oat. The company has lost money for years thanks to a global trade slump and a huge over-supply of ships to carry cargo, which has driven ocean shipping costs to historic lows.

The world's seventh largest ocean shipper, Hanjin Shipping is part of the Seoul-based Hanjin Group, a huge, family-dominated conglomerate, or chaebol, that also in-cludes Korean Air.

Earlier in the week, the Hanjin Group said it will inject nearly $90 mil-lion, including $36 million from its chairman Cho Yang-ho's personal assets, to help resolve disrup-tions to the supply chain. The group said it will pro-vide its stakes in overseas terminals, such as the one Hanjin operates in Long Beach, as collateral to borrow $54 million.

That still falls short of the fees that Hanjin Ship-ping must pay for services it needs to offl oad cargoes already on its vessels. According to local media reports, that amounts to $543 million.

Hanjin cargo ship stranded off California finally unloads

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Authorities say a man wanted in a drive-by shooting outside a west-ern Pennsylvania bar that killed a man and injured two women last month has been arrested in Louisi-ana.

Allegheny County police said Sunday that 21-year-old Joshua Ward-law was stopped by police in Louisiana for a traffi c vi-olation on Friday evening and taken into custody.

Lt. Andrew Schurman said he was identifi ed and arrested on the Pennsylva-nia homicide warrant and is lodged in the Lafayette Parish correctional center

awaiting extradition.Police had been seek-

ing Wardlaw in the Aug. 6 shooting outside Sa-loon 136 in Monongahela that killed 27-year-old Jonathan Minnie of Belle Vernon and injured two 27-year-old women.

HOLLIDAYSBURG (AP) — A defense attorney says a man charged in a shooting death at a Penn-sylvania party last year will argue that he fi red in self-defense.

Thirty-five-year-old Jorge Luis Gomez III goes on trial Monday in Blair County on criminal homi-cide and aggravated as-sault charges in the May 2015 death of 28-year-old Kai Carter.

The (Altoona) Mir-ror reports that attorney Thomas Dickey said Fri-

day that “for sure” self-defense will be one of his arguments on behalf of Gomez.

Authorities allege that Gomez shot Carter outside an Altoona party where people had gathered to watch the Floyd May-weather-Manny Pacquiao boxing match. Carter ran after being shot, and his body was found between two nearby homes. Gomez’s attorneys have argued that he was “sucker-punched,” fell to the ground and fi red in self-defense.

Man charged in shooting death to argue self-defense

TOWANDA (AP) — A preliminary hearing is scheduled next month for the boyfriend of a woman whose decomposed body was found along a north-eastern Pennsylvania streambank earlier this year.

Twenty-eight-year-old Michael Houseweart, of Canton, waived a hearing earlier this month in Brad-ford County in the death of 32-year-old Michelle Inch of Montoursville.

Police said the victim's body was found March

18 along Schrader Creek, and an autopsy later de-termined that she bled to death after being shot and stabbed.

Authorities allege that Houseweart killed the victim and disposed of her body, and then he and another man broke into her parents' home, bound them with duct tape and set the house on fi re.

Houseweart is to be formally arraigned in county court Oct. 3 and a preliminary hearing is slated Oct. 19.

ter 10 a.m. A delegation of Ridgway citizens motored to the county line near Brockport and escorted the party to Ridgway. Only a short stop was made there as the noon day stop was to be made at Smeth-port where after lunch a public meeting was held on the courthouse lawn.Friday, Sept. 15, 1916

What was one of the heaviest rain storms ex-perienced in this section of the country for many years passed over here yesterday afternoon at 3 p.m. and streets and cel-lars were inundated by the heavy precipitation. Sur-face water sewers proved inadequate to carry off the vast volume of water and in many cases it was some time until the streets could be traversed. The storm was accompanied by an electrical disturbance and several places were struck by lightning. This rain will go a long ways toward helping replenish the wa-ter supply which had so decreased during the long protracted drought.

Thomas Pierce, a patient at the men’s con-valescent building at the state hospital, North War-ren, made his escape from that institution Tuesday evening and has not been apprehended. He had been a patient there since 1912, and was so nearly cured that he was paroled and allowed the liberty of the grounds. For months he had worked about the farm. It is believed that he departed for his former home in Westmoreland County. Saturday, Sept. 16, 1916

With 19 counties in the state prohibiting the hunting of deer, Elk, Clearfi eld, Clinton and a few other counties in the immediate territory – the heart of the deer country – will no doubt be overrun with deer hunters from all the closed counties and all other parts of the state, with the probable result that the number of deer killed during the coming season in this section men-tioned will be many times larger than ever before. Hunters living in the open counties will early recog-nize they made a mistake in deciding not to close the hunting season on deer until the other counties are ready to permit hunt-ing.

Sometime ago a move-ment was on foot to put deer on the protected list in this county for a num-ber of years, but for some reason it was not carried

through. For several seasons

hunters from the cities have come to Elk County for the length of the deer season and have taken many of the antlered herd away with them. There were hundreds in Bene-zette section last season from Pittsburgh, Philadel-phia and other large cen-ters.

Almanacs and weather calendars do not hold out any hope for pleasant weather for the remainder of the month of September, but join in predicting that the next two weeks will be driz-zly and rainy throughout. There is hope after that and pleasant fall weather is prophetized for early October.

UNIVERSITY PARK – The question of wheth-er fossil fuel-based power generation technologies can play a role in sup-porting renewable en-ergy investments will be the topic of a web-based seminar to be presented by Penn State Extension.

The presentation, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on

Thursday, Sept. 15, will discuss will whether a wind, solar and natural gas partnership is likely to emerge.

Professor Michael Slattery, director of the Institute for Environ-mental Studies at Texas Christian University, will be featured. He will cover a report issued

earlier this year by the U.S. Energy Informa-tion Administration that predicted that electric-ity generation facilities expect to add more than 26 gigawatts of utility-scale generating capac-ity to the power grid dur-ing 2016 – most of these additions coming from solar, natural gas and

wind. "Access to electricity

is one of the key drivers of economic activity – this much we know, but how we get that supply remains controversial and divisive, especially when it comes to the en-vironmental impacts of the various generation technologies," he said.

"While we must in-vest in renewable tech-nologies, such as wind, and speed up the integra-tion of renewables into our daily lives, unlocking shale gas, if done respon-sibly, remains the most viable way forward if we are to make real prog-ress toward reducing carbon emissions enough to signifi cantly slow fur-ther global warming."

The webinar is free, but registration is nec-essary. To register, visit

the Penn State Exten-sion Natural Gas Events webpage at http://exten-sion.psu.edu/naturalgas/events. More informa-tion is available on the website or by contacting Carol Loveland at 570-320-4429 or at cal24@psu.edu.

Penn State Exten-sion's Marcellus Edu-cation Team provides monthly webinars on a variety of topics. Upcom-ing webinars for 2016 in-clude:

Oct. 20: "Agricul-ture and Safe Pipeline Operations," presented by Chris Thome, damage prevention consultant, Infrastructure Resources

Nov. 17: "Marketing and Logistics of Natural Gas Liquids in the Appa-lachian Basin," present-ed by Matt Curry, with Dreadnought Solutions

Dec. 15: "NaturalGas Power Generation - Reliability, Value and Market Coordination," presented by Matt Tripo-li and Greg Samilo, man-agers with IMG Mid-stream

Previous webinars, publications and infor-mation also are avail-able on the Penn State Extension natural-gas website (http://exten-sion.psu.edu/natural-gas), covering a variety of topics such as UAVs in the Energy fi eld, seismic testing, methane emis-sions, water use and quality, Marcellus and Utica basins, natural gas reserves ,gas-leasing considerations for land-owners, legal issues sur-rounding gas develop-ment, and the impact of Marcellus gas develop-ment on forestland.

SHANKSVILLE (AP) — The 40 passengers and crew members of a plane that crashed in western Pennsylvania after it was hijacked during the Sept. 11 attacks 15 years ago have been honored with a reading of names and tolling of bells.

About 1,000 surviv-ing family members, dignitaries and citizen visitors attended the an-nual service at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville. The site, about 60 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, is where the United Airlines fl ight crashed as passengers staged a rebellion and stormed the cockpit. They fought back against four Muslim hijackers who, along with others, crashed three other hi-jacked passenger airlin-ers into the World Trade

Center towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. the same morning. Ceremo-nies on Sunday also hon-ored nearly 3,000 killed in those attacks.

For the fi rst time, the Shanksville ceremony was held on the grounds outside the visitor cen-ter that opened last year rather than at the mar-ble wall that runs along the crash site.

Frances Foster, 47, and Ken Austin, 48, both of Mercer, Pennsylvania, said the center vividly chronicles the events of the day.

"It brings back that emotion. It's like living this all over again," Aus-tin said. "It's hard to lis-ten to the phone calls" he said, referring to record-ings of cellphone calls passengers made to loved

ones once they learned about the other hijack-ings and deduced their plane was going to be used as a weapon, too.

Investigators believe the hijackers meant to crash it into the Capi-tol, or possibly the White House, after the fl ight from Newark, New Jer-sey, to San Francisco was commandeered by the terrorists and steered to-ward Washington, D.C.

"It just angers me and makes me want to make sure it never hap-pens again," Austin said of the memories recorded in the visitor center.

"It brings back all those memories," Foster said. "It's just a very so-bering place."

Secretary of the In-terior Sandy Jewell was the keynote speaker in Shanksville, and spoke

about the need to com-memorate the crash site as a national park.

"Fifteen years ago to-day, the course of Ameri-can history changed," Jewell said. "Certainly the men and women of Flight 93 had no idea they would be heroines and heroes that day."

Addressing the vic-tims' families, Jewell said, "You have known the terrible pain of loss. None of us would want to trade places with you, but we honor your sacri-fi ce."

Gordon Felt, the president of the Families of Flight 93, an advocacy group that helped push for and design the park, said just one aspect of the memorial remains to be completed, the Tower of Voices. The 93-foot tall tower will contain

40 wind chimes and is scheduled for completion by 2018 and will stand "proudly and defi antly" near the park's entrance.

But Felt, whose brother Edward died in the crash, cautioned that the memorial park is about "so much more than the surrounding structures, our losses and the effects of Sept. 11 on our lives."

"Most of us today do not need marble walls, a tower of chimes or even a visitors' center to remind us of the sacrifi ces here 15 years ago," Felt said. "These structures and design aspects are not for us, they are for those who have forgotten, they are for tomorrow's children."

The surviving fami-lies visited the visitors' center privately follow-ing the ceremony, before

it opened to the public. The families then were to visit the memorial itself, a wall with the names of each victim engraved on individual panels that line the crash site. Some were expected to walk to the site itself along a path that is generally not open otherwise.

Jewell said it's clear that the visitors' center is educating those too young to remember the attacks. She read from one entry by a 17-year-old visitor in the center's log book.

"You've all done a completely selfl ess act for the good of our na-tion," Jewell read from the teen's entry, chok-ing back tears. "You'll be rewarded in heaven for your courageous deeds. God bless America. May you rest in peace."

Crusaders down Terrors 31-0 in abbreviated gameThe main attraction

under the lights at Dutch Country Stadium on Sat-urday night was supposed to be a matchup between the Elk County Catholic Crusaders and the Otto-Eldred Terrors. Instead, Mother Nature stole the show with a light show of her own as lightning forced the contest to be called at halftime, with the Crusaders claiming a 31-0 victory in their home opener.

Even though they were only on the fi eld for one half, the Crusaders still managed to pack a lot of excitement into their two quarters of play. Of-fensively, ECC had three passing touchdowns and the team’s fi rst fi eld goal of the season, while the defense recovered a fum-ble in the end zone for an-other touchdown and also stepped up and stopped a scoring threat by the Terrors. It was the third straight game in which the Crusaders have not given up any points, and they are 134-0 against their opponents so far this season.

Still, Otto-Eldred may have been their tough-est opponent yet, and the game was the fi rst in which Elk Catholic did

not score a rushing touch-down.

“I give Otto a lot of credit. They came up with a good game plan to stop our run,” said ECC head coach Tony Gerg. “We felt we were going to make some good adjustments at halftime, but hey, who knows. It’s one of those things where we can save it for the next game. Hats off to Otto for play-ing hard. We were able to utilize our arm a little bit and get some passes deep and get the ball in the end zone that way.”

The Terrors had the ball to start the game but ended up going three-and-out after failing to gain much ground. Their fi rst punt attempt of the day went awry and a fumble on the play resulted in the ball being recovered in the end zone by Crusader Doug Schatz for ECC’s fi rst touchdown of the night. Tyler Dilly added the extra point, and Elk Catholic took a 7-0 lead with 10:06 remaining in the quarter without ever having run a play on of-fense.

Otto-Eldred’s offen-sive struggles continued on their ensuing drive, with the team once again going three-and-out. This time they managed to punt the ball away with-out incident and ECC

slowly started making their way back down the fi eld. A pass play from Nate DaCanal to Eric Ger-ber and then a run by Da-Canal gave the Crusaders their fi rst fi rst down of the night. Three plays later, ECC crossed midfi eld on a lengthy pass play from DaCanal to Brad Dippold, but the Terrors managed to strip the ball from Dip-pold’s grasp as a host of them pulled him down at their own 32.

A delay of game penal-ty, an incomplete pass and a one-yard gain started off the Terrors’ next drive. Then, on third down, Otto-Eldred quarterback Sawyer Drummond com-pleted his fi rst pass of the night. Unfortunately for the Terrors, the ball was not caught by one of their own men, but instead ECC’s Bryce Gabler came up with the interception to put the Crusaders back on offense.

Taking over at the 42, DaCanal, Jared Braun and Dan Stauffer took turns running the foot-ball as they moved it back down to the 10. From there, DaCanal connected with Dippold on another pass play for the touch-down. Dilley once again added the extra point and

the Crusaders extended their lead to 14-0 with 2:32 left in the fi rst quar-ter.

The Terrors’ next drive carried over into the second quarter and it ended up being the closest the Crusaders have come all season to allowing any of their opponents to put points on the scoreboard. Starting at their own 39, Otto-Eldred used runs by Damen Palmer, Gage Babcock and Sawyer Drummond to move the ball to midfi eld. A penalty on ECC for encroachment gave the Terrors another fi ve yards and moved the ball into Crusader territo-ry. Then, Drummond con-nected with Dylan Close on a lengthy 40-yard pass play, with the Crusaders managing to stop Close just shy of the end zone at the 5-yard-line.

What happened next shows why ECC’s defense is a force to be reckoned with this season. The Ter-rors had four chances to pick up fi ve yards to get on the board, and Drum-mond gained a yard on a quarterback keep for the fi nal play of the quar-ter. The second quarter opened with the ball on Elk’s 4-yard line, and Drummond again tried to pick up some ground but ended up being stopped at the line of scrimmage for no gain. On third down, Crusader Joe Kucenski broke through the Terror’s line and sacked Drum-mond for a 15-yard loss. Drummond did manage to connect with Babcock for a short gain on fourth down, but the Terrors ended up turning the ball over on downs at ECC’s 5-yard line.

“That’s the pride drill,” Gerg said. “They chased them (Otto) down and got them out of bounds and they held them out. That’s a big thing. You’re showing pride there. They could have given up on the play, but nobody did. Ev-erybody pursued the ball. We got them out of bounds and got a stop there.”

However, following their strong defensive showing, the Crusaders struggled to move the ball on offense and ended up going three-and-out.

Drummond had a sev-en-yard gain to start Ot-to’s next drive, but a pass that was tipped by Ku-censki a fi ve-yard penalty, and then two rushes for

little to no yards resulted in the Terrors turning the ball over on downs at the Crusaders’ 35.

ECC only needed one play to fi nd the end zone. DaCanal connected with Gerber and he broke free of his defenders and sprinted down the fi eld on the 65-yard pass play. Dilley kicked the extra point to make the score 21-0 with 6:28 remaining in the half.

Following another three-and-out showing by Otto, the Crusaders began their fi nal touch-down drive of the night at their own 39. The team got nowhere trying to run the ball on the fi rst two plays, but then DaCanal connected with Braun for a 28-yard gain on third down. Runs by DaCanal and Ryan Heary moved the ball to the 18, and then DaCanal found Dip-pold in the end zone for the touchdown. Dilley once again kicked the ex-tra point and ECC went up 28-0 with 1:43 left be-fore the break.

On what would be their fi nal possession of the night, the Terrors again went three-and-out, giving the ball back to the Crusaders with under a minute remaining in the half. Starting at Otto’s 40, the Crusaders saw their fi rst three pass attempts fall incomplete due to strong coverage by the Terror’s defense. DaCa-nal managed to connect with Dippold on fourth down for a 27-yard gain to keep the drive going. However, following three more incomplete passes, Elk Catholic decided to try for a fi eld goal. Out of the hold of DaCanal, Dil-ley was able to put the ball between the uprights as time expired, and the Crusaders headed into the break leading 31-0.

Lightning had begun to occasionally illuminate the western sky as the half wound down and it only increased in preva-lence during the halftime performances by both teams’ marching bands. Otto-Eldred’s band chose to perform out on the fi eld, while the ECC band elected to stage a station-ary performance on the track in front of the home bleachers.

The teams did re-turn to the fi eld and were warming up as the ECC marching band concluded

their performance, but they were soon sent backto their respective lockerrooms due to the light-ning.

At 8:38 p.m., ECC an-nouncer Gabe Kraus tookto the public address sys-tem to offi cially inform fans that the game hadbeen called, with the Cru-saders winning 31-0.

With the contest offi -cially in the books, mem-bers of the Crusader teammade their way from theirown locker room area overto the area outside of thevisiting locker room to shake hands with the Ot-to-Eldred players.

Now 3-0 on the sea-son, the Crusaders will be back on the road Fridaynight when they travel to Coudersport for a 7 p.m.game against the Falcons.

“It’s going to get a lottougher,” Gerg said in reference to the remain-der of the Crusaders’ sea-son. “Coudy is a fantastic team. We’ve just go to prepare for them and playassignment football withthem.”

Crusaders win Elk County Boys Soccer TournamentRIDGWAY — It was a

matchup so closely played, a format used only in play-off and tournament games was needed to decide the outcome.

Elk County Catholic won 3-0 in the best-of-fi ve shootout to take a 2-1 vic-tory over Ridgway Satur-day afternoon at Francis S. Grandinetti Elemen-tary School in the cham-pionship game of the Elk County Boys’ Soccer Tour-nament.

It was the ninth straight tournament crown for the Crusaders and 10 of 11 overall. Only a St. Marys tournament win in 2007 broke ECC’s dominance in this event.

“I’m pleased with it,” ECC coach TJ Weaver said. “The kids played well, it was a hard fought game. This year’s tourna-ment was a good game for the fans, a 1-1 tie, you can’t miss that. It could’ve went either way. We had some mishaps on the fi eld, it was hot today. Kids were getting hurt, cramp-ing. It’s been a busy week, we’ve played three games already and then next week we play two so we’re getting ready to go to Port Allegany on Monday. I’m pleased with the way the

kids played, we have a lot of younger kids on the fi eld.”

The Crusaders would shoot fi rst in the shoot-out and converted three of its four chances. Re-gis Wortman scored fi rst while Ridgway missed its opening attempt. After a pair of misses in the sec-ond round, Charlie Bobby scored in the third round while Ridgway missed again to put the ECC advantage at 2-0 in the shootout. Needing just one more goal from the penalty spot, Erick Mader came through and buried the game for the 3-0 vic-tory. Crusader goalkeeper Alex O’Neill made three stops on three Ridgway attempts in the shootout.

“To get three out of four, you can’t ask much more than that from most guys,” Weaver said.

The Crusaders led 1-0 entering the second half with Ridgway having a strong wind at its back for the fi nal 40 minutes of regulation. The Elk-ers took advantage of the wind from an unlikely spot as Colby Hefright blasted a ball from about 70 yards away from the ECC goal. The ball would sail with the wind and take a big hop and go over O’Neill. O’Neill would try to recov-

er but a desperation punch of the ball would not be enough as the game would be tied at 1-all.

“It was pretty excit-ing,” Ridgway coach Todd Voss said. “It was a combi-nation of wind and every-thing like that. Of course in the second overtime, the wind died. We had the advantage but it doesn’t matter, you can’t play that. Both sides played well.”

Even with the long goal, Weaver said the goal was an unlucky break.

“You’ll have that, it’s high school soccer, it’s fun,” Weaver said. “Ridgway’s doing really well, Todd has the kids out playing hard with only short numbers.”

It was a tight, defen-sive game for much of the next 18 minutes as the physical play picked up. ECC had a corner kick at the 10-minute mark and nearly put the game away in regulation with four minutes to play. Frank Singer was able to get in past Ridgway’s last de-fender. He was able to get past Ridgway goalkeeper Logen McClain, who came out of his net to try and block the angle. The shot toward the net would be cleared off the line by Ridgway defender Vin-cent Cristini and the game would remain tied going to the fi rst 10-minute over-time.

In the fi rst overtime session, Ridgway had a corner kick and had a Lu-kas McClain shot go just wide with fi ve minutes to play. Brandon Kinkead also had a shot go wide for the Elkers in the sec-ond overtime on a 30-yard shot, Carter Lindemuth also had a shot go wide with 5:29 to play.

“I thought we had an-other goal in the net but they didn’t call it and it frustrated me,” Voss said. “They played their hearts out, they played well. We’re keeping up with a team that has beat us for fi ve years. Right now, we’re going to keep play-ing and build the record up.”

In the fi rst half, Mad-er was able to break the scoreless seal as he broke

through the Ridgway de-fense to give the Crusad-ers a 1-0 lead at the 27:14 mark.

Mader and Ben Koss were named to the All-Tournament Team for Elk County Catholic while Logen McClain was Ridg-way’s representative on the All-Tournament Team.

Ridgway (2-1) is scheduled to play at Kane on Tuesday for a 4 p.m. game.

“I’m proud of them,” Voss said. “I think we’re going to go far this season, no regrets.”

ECC is scheduled to play at Port Allegany at 4 p.m. Tuesday.

“We have some things to clean up, we’re sloppy

in some areas, some areas we’re excelling at,” Weav-er said,

Consolation GameSt. Marys won the

consolation game 7-2 over Redbank Valley Saturday morning before the conso-lation game.

The Dutch had built a 7-0 lead and had the mercy clock rolling for the fi nal 25 minutes of the second half.

“In the second half, I thought the team did a real nice job,” St. Marys coach Russ Micale said. “They kind of took care of some passing issues in the midfi eld and improved a little bit there.”

Nathan Schneider had two goals for St. Marys

while Isaac Caretti, No-buo Elder, Matt Krull,Jackson Lindemuth andTravis Huff each had one goal. Nate McAnany, Lin-demuth, Schneider andHuff each had one assist.

“Any time you canget all your guys in andget experience, it’s a goodthing for the program,”Micale said.

Schneider was the All-Tournament Team selec-tion for St. Marys whileTristan Keller was select-ed from Redbank Valley.

“This is our thirdgame so far and eachgame we’re looking a littlebit better,” Micale said.“Things are moving in theright direction for us.”

Finnegan, Reds beat reeling Pirates 8-0 Sunday afternoon

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Brandon Finnegan worked out of trouble all day long, and Cincinnati’s lineup took care of the rest.

Finnegan pitched fi ve effective innings to help the Reds to an 8-0 victory over the reeling Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.

Tyler Holt and Bran-don Phillips had three hits apiece for last-place Cincinnati (60-82), which took the fi nal three games of the four-game set. Holt also drove in three runs and Phillips scored three times.

Pittsburgh (69-72) has dropped 11 of 13 to fall off the pace in the NL wild-card race, but Finnegan made it sound as if hurting the Pirates’ playoff chances wasn’t very signifi cant for the Reds. Cincinnati lost to Pittsburgh in the 2013 wild-card game, and there has been plenty of bad blood between the teams over the years.

“The Pirates are al-ways good,” Finnegan said. “They have a good-hitting team. The Reds and Pi-rates don’t really get along very well. But it’s nice beating any team, espe-cially winning a series.”

Finnegan (9-10) struck out seven, but allowed fi ve hits and walked fi ve.

“We got him the big lead, and he scuffl ed to keep guys off base and com-mand his stuff,” Reds man-ager Bryan Price said. “At the same time, he pitched himself out of constant trouble. (It’s) certainly not a recipe for long-term suc-

cess. However, he could have broken, especially in a situation like today with a shortened bullpen.”

Jumbo Diaz followed Finnegan with two innings and Ross Ohlendorf and Wandy Peralta each got three outs, completing a seven-hitter. The Pirates left 10 runners on base and went 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position.

Cincinnati grabbed control with fi ve runs in the second, taking advan-tage of an error by center fi elder Andrew McCutch-en and some wildness by Ryan Vogelsong (3-5). Holt had the big blow, a two-run triple that gave the Reds a 4-0 lead. Eugenio Suarez followed with an RBI sin-gle.

Vogelsong was charged

with six runs and seven hits in four innings.

Cincinnati fi nished with 13 hits. Joey Votto, one of the hottest hittersin the majors, was the only starting position player to fail to record a hit for theReds.

Pirates left fi elder Gregory Polanco was ejected by umpire Pat Ho-berg for arguing balls and strikes in the third inning.It was Polanco’s fi rst ca-reer ejection.

TRAINING ROOMPirates: 2B Josh Har-

rison’s right groin injury is “more than day to day” and could potentially be season ending, accordingto general manager Neal Huntington.

olic Lady Crusader vol-leyball team captured the 20th annual Elk County Volleyball Tournament held at ECCHS on Satur-day.

The Lady Crusaders defeated the Johnsonburg Ramettes 2-0 to win the title.

Elk Catholic fi nished pool play with a 6-0 record. Johnsonburg was second with a 4-2 record while St. Marys and Ridgway were both 1-5 in pool play.

In the fi rst matches of the day Elk Catholic de-feated Johnsonburg 25-14 and 25-12 while St. Marys and Ridgway split. St. Marys won the fi rst set 25-19 and Ridgway took the second set 25-23.

The second match of the day saw ECC defeat St. Marys 25-17 and 25-16 while Johnsonburg beat Ridgway 25-16 and 25-22.

The third match of the morning found Johnson-burg defeating St. Marys 25-17 and 25-15. Elk Cath-olic defeated Ridgway 25-

22 and 25-18.In the championship

match the Lady Crusad-ers took a 14-7 lead over the Ramettes in the fi rst set. Elk Catholic was able to maintain their lead the rest of the way as they went on to win the fi rst set by a 25-17 score.

The second set of the best of three championship match again saw Elk Cath-olic open a fi ve-point lead over Johnsonburg. The Ra-mettes were able to close to within four, 19-15 when Elk got the serve back. With Taylor Newton serv-ing ECC went up 24-16. Cassidy Cunningham had three kills during the run for ECC. The Ramettes cut Elk’s lead to 24-19 with Nicole Myers serving. Elk won the match on a kill by Jordyn Fox making the fi -nal score 25-19.

“It was a good day, go-ing 6-0 in pool play,” said ECCHS coach Diane Gies.

“We struggled a lit-tle bit against Ridgway. We didn’t play our best but we came back to win. We played a solid match against Johnsonburg try-

ing to avenge our loss to them last year. I am happy for the seniors to win the tournament. It was a good step going forward,” added Gies.

In the consolation match, which was one set to 30, the Lady Elkers edged the Lady Dutch 33-31. The match was a back and forth one all the way with neither team taking more than a two-point lead at any time.

Lady Crusader soccer shuts outKane Lady Wolves Saturday

KANE – The Kane Lady Wolves soccer team suffered its fi rst loss of the season Saturday morning when they lost to a tough Elk County Catholic squad by a score of 7-0 in Kane.

The Lady Crusaders controlled the ball for the majority of the fi rst half and scored fi ve times in the fi rst 40 minutes. The visi-tors would tack on three more in the second half as the Lady Wolves fell to 2-1 on the season. Scoring for the visitors were Mad-die Kear, McKayla Wilson, Makenzie Cashmer, Sadie VanAlstine and Marley Sorg.

Kane coach Robert Mosier said ECC’s offense was just too much for his team on Saturday.

“It was a different story for us from our fi rst two games [both wins],” he said. “We just didn’t have the speed to compete with them. Give them credit, they had some nice shots. We came out and played a little bit better in the sec-ond half and generated a little bit of offense, but we

just couldn’t fi nish the fi ve or six good scoring oppor-tunities we had. You can’t win if you can’t score.”

Looking ahead to their next game, Mosier said he expects another tough contest.

“We travel to Ridg-

way on Monday,” he said.“They are probably thebest team we will see thisyear, so we will have ourwork cut out for us.”

Elk Catholic returnsto action Wednesday when they travel to Port Allega-ny for a 4:30 p.m. match.

Hamlin wins again at Richmondbut Newman steals spotlight

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — It was yet another Den-ny Hamlin runaway for Joe Gibbs Racing on Saturday night in what turned out to be an anticlimactic end to NASCAR’s regular season.

The fi reworks came off the track at Richmond In-ternational Raceway, where Tony Stewart intention-ally wrecked Ryan Newman before Newman angrily chided his former boss for the accident that offi cially ended Newman’s chances to make the playoffs.

The verbal beat down from Newman came with 37 laps left, before Hamlin fi nished off his third career Sprint Cup win at his home track while giving JGR its third consecutive victory at the track and ninth in the last 15 races.

Newman called Stewart “bipolar,” said the retiring race car driver had anger issues, and all but outright referenced the 2014 inci-dent in which Stewart fatal-ly struck a sprint car driver.

“I guess he thought he was in a sprint car again and didn’t know how to con-trol his anger,” Newman said after the two made contact three times before

fi nally wrecking. Dylan Lupton couldn’t avoid the accident and his car ended up wedged between the wall and on top of New-man’s car when the crash-ing fi nally ceased.

Stewart admitted to wrecking Newman.

“He’s right, that was the third time he had driven into me. How many times is he supposed to hit you before you say, ‘I’ve had enough of it?’” Stewart said.

The wreckage caused a stoppage of just over 20 minutes and sent New-man’s temperature soaring. Newman’s team was penal-ized 15 points this week by NASCAR for failing post-race inspection at Darling-ton, and the punishment made his task of trying to race his way into the Chase extremely diffi cult.

But few expected him to be so harsh toward Stew-art, who employed New-man for fi ve years until Newman was let go from

Stewart-Haas Racing at the end of the 2013 season.

“Just disappointing that you have somebody old like that that should be re-tired the way he drives. It’s just ridiculous,” Newman said. “I don’t think there was any reason other than him just being bipolar and having anger issues. Google Tony Stewart, you’ll see all kinds of things he’s done. Look it up on YouTube, ev-erything else. Quite the guy.”

Stewart, who last week intentionally wrecked Bri-an Scott, is retiring at the end of the season and al-ready had his spot in the Chase secure headed into Richmond. He’d had time to cool down before address-ing the incident and New-man’s comments, joking Newman will get “his wish in 10 weeks” for Stewart to retire.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Sunday marked the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks by calling on Americans to embrace the nation's character as a people drawn from every corner of the world, from every religion and from every background. He said extremist groups will never be able to defeat the United States.

Obama spoke to hun-dreds of service members, and relatives and survi-vors of the attack that occurred at the Pentagon when American Airlines Flight 77 slammed into the Defense Department's headquarters, killing 184 people. The youngest vic-tim was only 3 years old.

In all, about 3,000 peo-ple lost their lives that day as a result of the planes

that crashed into New York City's World Trade Center and in a Pennsyl-vania fi eld.

The president said extremist organizations such as the Islamic State group and al-Qaida know they can never drive down the U.S., so they focus on trying to instill fear in hopes of getting Ameri-cans to change how they live.

"We know that our diversity, our patchwork heritage is not a weak-ness, it is still and always will be one of our greatest strengths," Obama said. "This is the America that was attacked that Sep-tember morning. This is the America that we must remain true to."

Obama spoke on warm, mostly sunny morning, noting that the

threat that became so evident on Sept. 11 has evolved greatly over the past 15 years. Terrorists, he said, often attempt strikes on a smaller, but still deadly scale. He spe-cifi cally cited attacks in Boston, San Bernardino and Orlando as examples.

In the end, he said, the enduring memorial to those who lost their lives that day is ensuring "that we stay true to ourselves, that we stay true to what's best in us, that we do not let others divide us."

"How we conduct our-selves as individuals and as a nation, we have the opportunity each and ev-ery day to live up to the sacrifi ce of those heroes that we lost," Obama said.

Obama's comments also came in the heat of a presidential election in

which voters will weigh which candidate would best keep America safe.

Republican nomi-nee Donald Trump said he would suspend Mus-lim immigration into the United States, a policy he later amended by saying he would temporarily ban immigration from "areas of the world where there is a proven history of ter-rorism against the United States, Europe or our al-lies, until we fully under-stand how to end these threats." Obama's speech Sunday reinforced themes he has emphasized in re-cent months when he has described Trump's propos-als on Muslim immigra-tion as "not the America we want."

Obama also marked his fi nal Sept. 11 obser-vance as president with a

moment of silence inside the White House to coin-cide with when the fi rst plane hit the Twin Towers. Atop the White House, the American fl ag fl ew at half-staff. Obama invited gov-ernors, interested organi-zations and individuals to follow suit.

Obama said he has been humbled by the people whose 9/11 stories he's come to learn over the past eight years, from the fi refi ghters who respond-ed to the attacks, to fam-ily members of those who died, to the Navy Seals who made sure "justice was fi nally done" in the killing of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. He said the nation's security has been strengthened since 9/11 and that other attacks have been prevented.

"We resolve to con-

tinue doing everything in our power to protect this country that we love," he said, facing the benches that are a hallmark of the Pentagon Memorial.

Behind the presi-dent, a U.S. fl ag stretch-ing some three stories tall hung on the section of the Pentagon that was struck on Sept. 11. The presi-dent said 15 years may seem like a long time, but he imagined that for the families, it can seem like yesterday. He said he has been inspired by their ef-forts to start scholarship programs and undertake volunteer work in their communities.

"In your grief and grace, you have reminded us that, together, there's nothing we Americans cannot overcome," Obama said.

CANCER(June 21 to July 22)

Mercury retrograde is wreaking havoc in your life, causing transportation delays and mixed-up communications. This could be the reason that you are short-tempered with others today. Chill out.

Arguments about money and posses-sions are likely today. Don’t throw your weight around. Remember that you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

VIRGO(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Today the Sun is in your sign at odds with fiery Mars. This makes you aggres-sive, quick to bark and quick to anger. Your best friend will be your own pa-tience. Remember this.

LIBRA(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Something going on behind the scenes might bother you today. Because you feel generally disgruntled, you will be impatient with others. Do your best to stay calm.

Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because they quickly will disintegrate into arguments. Ego conflicts are taking place every-where!

Disputes about inheritances and shared property are likely today. Don’t get involved, because this will resolve nothing. Stay frosty.

PISCES(Feb. 19 to March 20)

“ALL THE NEWS YOU CAN USE”

C O S OR S W R D

Dear Annie: My fiancee and I are plan-ning our wedding, which is next spring. We’re so excited to share the day with our loved ones, and we’ve both been pleasantly surprised by how stress-free the planning process has been so far. But we’ve run into a conundrum while working on our list of invitees. Two of our friends, “Alex” and “Mary,” split up about a year and a half ago. They had been together for seven years, and it was an unhealthy, codependent relationship, so when the breakup finally happened, it was a mess. Mary was devastated. Alex was, admittedly, pretty insensitive about it, but no one is at his best during a breakup. Alex has moved on and been dating someone else for about a year. Mary hasn’t dated anyone since the breakup and still holds a lot of bitterness against Alex. We were at a friend’s dinner party a few months ago, and Mary stormed out when Alex showed up with the new girlfriend. If she hears that any of us have been in contact with him, she goes on a rant about how much of a “scumbag” he is. She stops short of actually asking us not to talk to him, though. My fiancee and I really don’t want to deal with any drama on our wedding day, but we want to invite Alex. How should we handle this? Do you think it would be inconsiderate to Mary to have him there? Do you think we’d be set-ting ourselves up for a big unpleasant scene? -- Cold Feet About Hothead Dear Cold: This drama queen needs to know that on your wedding day, her cur-tain goes down. Have a talk with Mary well in advance to let her know you’re inviting Alex and his girlfriend. She’ll have plenty of time to steel herself for the encounter. Managing ex-pectations keeps emotionally volatile people in check. If she’s unwilling to give you her word that she’ll be cordial, then she can skip the wedding. But if she really is a true friend, she

will understand, put her anger aside and help make your big day a joyous occasion. And in that case, you should sit her next to a cute single groomsman. Dear Annie: I have a close friend whom I have known for many years. She and I do a lot of activities together, such as going to the movies, the gym or an occasional lunch. As two women will do, we discuss our lives, which can lead to some complaining about a variety of situations. I have recently noticed a change in her behavior when she reacts to something I have told her, and I am not sure what to do about it. When I confide to her that I am worried about a certain situation or if I am just venting about something that happened to me that day, she is very quick to either try to solve the prob-lem for me or say something that minimizes my concern about the problem. What I am looking for in these conversa-tions is an empathetic friend with whom I can share frustrations or concerns. I am not looking for a solution. I am just looking for a sympa-thetic ear. I have seen her react to others this way, too, and it can be off-putting and insulting. Am I being too sensitive? Should I gently let her know how this type of reaction makes the other person feel, or should I let it go? As I said, we have been friends for years, and I want to keep the friendship. I fear that if I said something, I’d risk losing her as my friend. -- Not Heard in Nebraska Dear Not Heard: We humans are hard-wired to be problem-solvers. And some people -- often those who fear a lack of control in their own lives -- have an especially hard time letting anything just be, thinking every problem might be fixed with the tap of their hammer. It probably hasn’t even occurred to your friend that she could simply listen without giving advice. So do point it out to her. When you just want to vent about something, begin with a dis-claimer: “I’m not looking for advice. I just want to vent about this.” If your setting that boundary would cause you to lose her as a friend, then she wasn’t much of a friend to begin with.

HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Depart-ment of Transportation (PennDOT), announced last week it is starting a request for qualifi cations (RFQ) process to solicit a Public Private Partner to develop parking and re-tail around a revitalized Middletown train station.

In addition, PennDOT will host an industry fo-rum on Sept. 28 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Sher-aton Harrisburg-Hershey Hotel on Lindle Road to outline the P3 concept for the area around the sta-tion, which is on the Am-trak Keystone line.

“The Keystone Line offers an attractive travel option for more than one million riders a year and enhancing stations along the route can help at-tract even more riders,” PennDOT Secretary Les-lie S. Richards said. “Re-newed stations also help build strong surrounding communities and that is the goal of our P3 plans.”

PennDOT’s vision is that the P3 partner will

develop, design, build, fi -nance, operate and main-tain parking facilities that provide a minimum of 400 parking spaces in an eight-acre tract near the newly relocated AM-TRAK station as well as undertake possible com-mercial/retail develop-ment.

In addition, the part-ner will construct an Emaus Street extension as well as a pedestrian bridge over Route 230 to the Penn State-Harris-burg campus. The part-ner will be required to maintain the project site for at least 30 years.

Interested parties have 60 days to respond with a statement of qual-ifi cations.

The P3 development will complement the work PennDOT, AMTRAK and Norfolk-Southern are doing to build the new Middletown station. Site preparation under a $2.6 million contract is un-derway and is expected to be completed in May 2017. Norfolk-Southern

is expected to start an estimated $6.5 million in track work later this year. AMTRAK’s track work, estimated to cost roughly $4.3 million, will start late next year. Work on the new station and platform, estimated to cost $24.4 million, is expected to start late in 2018.

“Our goal is to build transit ridership at the Middletown station and add an attractive trans-portation and commer-cial hub for the communi-ty,” Richards said. “This is part of our mission to build a better Pennsylva-nia and mobility for its citizens.”

CHESTER (AP) — Only about a third of the homicides in the violence-wracked suburban Phila-delphia city of Chester are ever solved, a news-paper reported.

The Philadelphia In-quirer reports that its analysis of every homi-cide indicates that au-thorities closed about one-third of the city's 323 slayings since 2000, which include the killing of an offi cer — about half the national average and among the lowest in the nation.

The homicide rate in the four-mile-square city of 34,000 averages 53 per 100,000 between 2000 and 2014, outranking all U.S. cities in that span for which data is avail-able, the paper said.

That's more than double Philadelphia's homicide rate of 21 per 100,000 and slightly more than Camden, New Jersey's 52 and New Or-leans' 47. (The fi gures don't include cities that failed to consistently re-port their homicide data to the FBI).

Although the level of arrests in homicide cases has slipped nationally over decades, analysts said other cities have found ways to improve. In Chester, offi cials cite a spiral of joblessness and poverty after the collapse of the manufacturing base, followed by drugs, gangs, a lack of resources for police and a pervasive "no snitch" culture.

"The vast majority of homicides, we have a

real good idea who did it," said Joe Ryan, chief of the county's Criminal In-vestigation Division. "We just don't have the evi-dence or the cooperation."

In May, Eunice Dur-nell's 14-year-old godson, Zenas Powell, was hit by stray bullets outside a corner store. Police said he wasn't the intended target. He was the fourth member of Durnell's ex-tended family slain in Chester in two years, including her sister, a nephew and a cousin. None of the slayings have been solved.

"That's how it is (in Chester)," said Durnell, 56, a nurse. "You can end up dead at any time . . . And the (killers)? Well, they're still walking around."
