Laughlin pledges schools support State Senate to reconvene on Monday By Ed Palattella ed.palattella@ timesnews.com

Dan Laughlin is ready to return to Harrisburg to press for more funding for the Erie School District. The Republican state senator from Millcreek Township, who was instrumental in getting the district $14 in additional state funding in 2017-18, said he is committed to trying to make that infusion recurrent. The $14 million in permanent funding for the Erie School District was excluded from a state budget revenue package that narrowly passed the Republicancontrolled state House on Wednesday night. The state Senate will take up the House proposal on Monday. “When I get there on Monday, I will work on making that recurrent again,” Laughlin said. Laughlin also said he

THE LOOK BACK Today’s highlight in history: On Sept. 15, 1940, during the World War II Battle of Britain, the tide turned as the Royal Air Force inﬂicted heavy losses upon the Luftwaffe.

On this date: In 1789, the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs was renamed the Department of State. In 1807, former Vice President Aaron Burr was acquitted of a misdemeanor charge two weeks after he was found not guilty of treason. In 1857, William Howard Taft — who served as President of the United States and as U.S. chief justice — was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1917, the ﬁrst issue of Forbes magazine was published.

In 1935, the Nuremberg Laws deprived German Jews of their citizenship.

Sept. 15, 1987: Erie Mayor Lou Tullio brokers a deal to try to keep the Erie Cardinals baseball team in Erie. The St. Louis minor league team isn’t pleased with conditions at Ainsworth Field and has given the Erie School District, which owns the ﬁeld, an ultimatum: ﬁx it up and maintain it or the team won’t play ball in Erie. Tullio’s plan provides for regular renovations, maintenance and groundskeeping. But Jack Tracz, a Florida businessman, buys the team and in November will get New York-Penn League’s OK to move it to Hamilton, Ontario. The team had played at Ainsworth since 1981.

In 1942, during World War II, the aircraft carrier USS Wasp was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine; the U.S. Navy ended up sinking the badly damaged vessel. In 1950, during the Korean conﬂict, United Nations forces landed at Incheon in the south and began their drive toward Seoul. In 1963, four black girls were killed when a bomb went off during Sunday services at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. (Three Ku Klux Klansmen were eventually convicted for their roles in the blast.)

Compiled by Valerie Myers

In 1972, a federal grand jury in Washington indicted seven men in connection with the Watergate break-in.

US nuke commander ‘assumes’ North Koreans tested hydrogen bomb

By Terry Spencer and Jay Reeves

The Associated Press

OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb. — The top commander of U.S. nuclear forces said Thursday he assumes the Sept. 3 nuclear test by North Korea was a hydrogen bomb, suggesting a heightened U.S. concern that the North has advanced to a new level of nuclear firepower, even as it launched yet another ballistic missile over Japan into the Pacific Ocean. Air Force Gen. John E. Hyten, commander of Strategic Command, told reporters that while he was not in a position to confirm it, he assumes from the size of the underground explosion and other factors that it was a hydrogen bomb — which is a leap beyond the fission, or atomic, bombs North Korea has previously tested. Just moments after Hyten spoke at his headquarters near Omaha, word spread that North Korea had launched a mid-range ballistic missile over Japan. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, who was with Hyten at Strategic Command headquarters at the time of the launch, said afterward that it was a reckless act. “It was fired over Japan and put millions of Japanese in the duck-and-cover,” he told a small group of

widow evacuated her Naples condominium with the help of police the day before the hurricane. After the storm passed, a deputy took her back home and another brought her food. A deacon from her Roman Catholic church also stopped by. But with no family in the area and neighbors who are gone or unwilling to help, the New York native feels cut off from the world. “I have nobody,” she said. The electricity is out in her condo, so there’s no television for news. She cannot raise the electric-powered hurricane shutters that cover her kitchen windows.

Association said many of its South Florida members lacked electricity. The group was working on a precise count. A day earlier near Orlando, firefighters helped relocate 122 people from two assisted-living centers that had been without power since the storm. And at the 15,000-resident Century Village retirement community in Pembroke Pines, where there were also widespread outages, rescue workers went door to door to check on residents and bring ice, water and meals. For older people living on their own, such as 94-year-old Mary Dellaratta, getting help can depend on the attentiveness of neighbors, family and local authorities. The

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Florida seniors were ushered out of stifling assisted-living centers Thursday while caregivers fought a lack of air conditioning with Popsicles and cool compresses after eight people died at a nursing home in the posthurricane heat. Dozens of the state’s senior centers still lacked electricity in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, and several facilities were forced to evacuate. While detectives sought clues to the deaths, emergency workerswentdoortodoor tolookforanyoneelsewho was at risk. Fifty-seven residents were moved from a suburban Fort Lauderdale assisted-living facility without power to two nearby homes where power had been restored.

reporters. “Landed out in the Pacific.” Asked about a possible American military response, Mattis said, “I don’t want to talk on that yet.” Shortly after the Sept. 3 test, North Korea claimed they exploded a hydrogen bomb, and while U.S. officials have not contradicted them, they have not confirmed it, either. Administration officials had indicated they saw nothing to contradict the North’s claim. Hyten went further, saying the characteristics of the test made him think it was an H-bomb. Hyten would not discuss the exact size of the explosion from the Sept. 3 test, but Mattis had said on Wednesday that it was in excess of 100 kilotons—farlargerthan any of the North’s five previous nuclear tests. “WhenIlookatathing that size, I as a military officer assume that it’s a hydrogen bomb,” Hyten said. As head of Strategic Command,hewouldbein charge of all elements of the U.S. nuclear force in the event of nuclear war. “I have to (assume this),” he added, “I have to make that assumption. What I saw equates to a hydrogen bomb. I saw the event. I saw the indications that came from that event. I saw the size, I saw the reports, and therefore to me I’m assuming it was a hydrogen bomb.”

He’s guided them through the samedifficultieshefacedwhen he was released from state prison in 2012, after spending 11 years incarcerated for drugrelated charges. More than once, he said, he washiredforajobonlytobelet go when his employer learned of his history. Finding housing with a criminal record presented a similar challenge. ForTaylor,whomademoney selling cocaine before he went to prison, it was a “humbling experience.” He had lost his home while he was incarcerated. He was used to being able to support his family financially, but found their roles were reversed once he was freed. “I’m still not totally financially where I’m supposed to be, but I can’t by any means go the other way again,” he said. “The risk is too high for me.” Instead, he is paid to counsel those who have made the transition from prison into the community more recently. He is employed through the Downtown YMCA, but works as part of the Erie County ReEntry Services and Support Alliance,aUnifiedErieprogram that pairs former inmates with three case managers who connectthemwithlocalresources.

is grateful to his fellow legislators that the $14 million in funding for this fiscal year has remained intact. The Senate and House proposals both include that money, in a $23.15 million Educational Access account in a budgetary reserve fund of Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat. The Republican-controlled Senate included the recurrent funding in the revenue package it passed on July 27. The House on Wednesday night amended that plan by striking, among many other things, the language about the recurrent funding. The House and Senate plans are revenue packages designed to help plug state government’s $2.2 billion budget gap 77 days into the state’s fiscal year, as of Friday.The General Assembly on June 30 passed a spending package for the $32 billion budget, which is due July 1, but the stalemate in Harrisburg has stalled passage of the revenue package. Wolf said the delay is undermining the state’s finances. Thursday was the last day that Wolf said his administration would have enough cash to pay bills on time until the spring. The state Senate had been scheduled to reconvene at Monday at 1 p.m. The Senate could have met sooner, but lawmakers need time to review the House plan, said Jennifer Kocher, a spokesman for the Republican majority in the Senate. “We understand the situation is urgent and we will act as swiftly as we can, but part of that is doing our due diligence,” Kocher said.

Taylor also meets with participants from Unified Erie’s first call-in, which offered help to a small group of young people connected to criminal activity in exchange for walking away from crime. ECRSSA has worked with more than 100 clients through its re-entry program, which began in September 2016, and the April call-in, Silman said. The re-entry program is a component of Unified Erie, which has taken a three-pronged approach of prevention, enforcement and re-entry in curbing violence in the community. Unified Erie sought funds for the program, and in July received a $1.2 million grant from the Erie Community Foundation and the United WayofErieCounty.ThefundingwasprovidedtotheGreater Erie Community Action Committee, which oversees

ECRSSA’s re-entry services and the call-in program. Taylor’s role in the program is to provide the perspective of someonewhohasspenttimein prison, Silman said. “You have someone who’s actually been incarcerated and actually has gone through the reintegration piece coming back into the community,” she said. One of Taylor’s clients, 29-year-old Josh McCloud, said he struggled to catch up after spending 10½ years incarceratedonassaultcharges. “The streets changed,” he said.“Ithoughthattimewould have stopped for me. ... You can’tcatchupwithtime,itjust keeps going.” Being able to talk with Taylor, who had already gone throughthatphaseofhistransition from prison, helped, McCloud said. “He’s the one who can tell you, ‘Listen, I’ve been in that position,’” McCloud said. “Some people have only been ononesideofthefence.Heand Ihavebeenonbothsidesofthe fence.” Since his release from state prison in October, McCloud has worked to find steady employment.He’shopingthat he’llsoonhearbackaboutajob washing dishes at a local hotel. He’s faced a lot of rejection during the search, from employerswhowereconcerned about his criminal record. “It gets frustrating, but I know and I believe that God is going to (find) me a job,” he said. And until he feels steadier, McCloud will have Taylor to call on. “It’s very important that they get that chance,” Taylor said of his clients. “I’m not going to beg you to take my hand, but if you do, you’ve gotit(for)therestofyourwalk here.”

created uncertainty at the Erie School District, which is committed to using the $14 million this fiscal year and any recurrent funding to eliminate its short-term and long-term deficits and remain solvent. The district, with more than 11,200 students, closed two elementary schools and merged three of its four of its high schools to save money and help eliminate a $9.5 million deficit this year. The district fears that lack of a long-term funding boost will erase its financial gains end force the district into a receivership that the state will have to address anyway. “We are pleased that the $14 million survived this round of budget negotiations,” Erie schools Superintendent Brian Polito said of the additional funding in place for this year. Of the recurrent funding, he said, “We are confident that it continues to be top priority for local people and we are hoping it comes back in the next round.” The House proposal that passed Wednesday night was based on the work of a GOP anti-tax faction in that chamber. It is a no-newtaxes plan to “sell” future state revenues for $1 billion upfront and divert some $600 million from offbudget programs, including mass transit and recycling. The Senate’s competing plan, passed July 27, included $1.3 billion in borrowing and a $500 million-plus tax package. Wolf supports the Senate’s plan and opposes the House’s plan. The House plan passed 103-91, with eight absences. It needed 102 votes for approval. All 76 Democrats voted against the plan, along with 15 GOP members. The GOP has a 121-vote majority in the House. Voting for the proposal from the Erie-area

delegation were state Rep. Curt Sonney, of Harborcreek Township, R-4th Dist., and state Rep. Brad Roae, of East Mead Township, Crawford County, R-6th Dist. The vote on the Senate plan, on July 27, was also close. The main revenue bill in the package passed 26-24. The GOP has a 34-vote majority in the Senate. Laughlin voted against the revenue package because of the tax hikes passed on to consumers. He also said he likely would have voted for the tax hikes if he knew his vote was needed to make sure that it passed the Senate. The first-term state senator, who represents the 49th District, said his “no” vote was more about “making a statement” on the types of tax hikes included in the package. He instead would have preferred new taxes on gum and candy sales to raise millions in revenue. Laughlin still voted in favor of budget implementation bills related to human services, schools and state government functions on the same day. “I am extremely hopeful that it goes through the House as is, “ Laughlin said in August of the Senate revenue plan. “That includes our school money.” The spending bill passed both chambers on June 30 with bipartisan support. The vote was 43-7 in the Senate, and 173-27 in the House. State Rep. Ryan Bizzarro was the only legislator from Erie County to vote against the spending bill. He opposed it for the lack of an accompanying revenue package.

IN BRIEF

Man shot in bicep at west Erie residence

Erie sailor helping hurricane victims

Erie police were investigating a shooting Thursday night at a duplex at 611 W. 10th St. Police said a man in his early to mid-20s suffered a gunshot wound to his right bicep and was taken to UPMC Hamot for treatment. One bullet passed through the victim's bicep, Erie police Lt. Tony Talarico said. The shooting, which was reported at 9:05 p.m., occurred inside the duplex, Talarico said. The victim told officers he was inside the duplex when two males, each of whom was wearing a mask, entered his residence, Talarico said. The victim told police that one of the males had a handgun. After he was shot, the victim told officers the males fled the residence on foot heading northbound on Cherry Street, Talarico said. The victim described the males as light-skinned black males. A neighbor heard arguing inside the residence and then heard one gunshot, Talarico said. Police recovered evidence inside the residence, Talarico said.

U.S. Navy seaman and Erie native Cory Chevalier is helping the victims of Hurricane Irma in Key West, Florida. Chevalier is an aviation support equipment technician first class aboard the USS Iwo Jima, an amphibious assault ship. He was assigned to Naval Air Station Key West Fleet Readiness Center from 2006 to 2010. The Iwo Jima is one of three Navy ships supporting relief efforts in Key West.

Man injured in car crash into Millcreek building A man suffered minor injuries Thursday afternoon when he crashed his vehicle into the Stoneworks Lapidary building in the 2800 block of West Eighth Street in Millcreek Township, according to police. The crash was reported at 2 p.m. The man was driving a black 2013 Cadillac XTS. The man was taken to UPMC Hamot for treatment, police said. The crash remains under investigation.

EQUIFAX Continued from A1

“I think before it’s over we probably will have filed 20 or so or more,” Sharp said. “There were hundreds of calls from dozens of states” to his firm about the Equifax breach, he said. The suit filed in Erie seeks unspecified damages for members of the proposed class of Pennsylvanians affected by the breach, represented by Whipper and a second plaintiff, Roberta Serafine, of Bucks County. “Plaintiff was a victim of the data breach,” the suit says of Whipper. “Since the breach, he has spent time monitoring and attempting to protect his credit and accounts from the improper use of his (personal identifying information) obtained by unauthorized third parties as a result of the Data Breach.” Contact information for Whipper could not be located Thursday. The suit asks that a judge certify the class for the purpose of a classaction lawsuit. The many class-action lawsuits filed against Equifax will likely be consolidated at a later point, Sharp said. The Erie lawsuit claims that Equifax learned of the data breach, which took place between May and July, in July, but failed to alert the public until this month. It also claims Equifax had experienced

Local scholars are National Merit semiﬁnalists Eleven Erie County students are semifinalists in the 63rd annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Semifinalists must submit an application detailing their academic and leadership skills and their participation in extracurricular and community activities to become finalists eligible for Merit Scholarship awards. They must also write an essay and earn acceptable SAT scores. About 90 percent of semifinalists will earn finalist status in February. About half those finalists will earn scholarships. Erie County semifinalists are: Alexander Lofgren, a student at General McLane High School; Benjamin Fugate, Shania Petrush and Dan Song, of McDowell High School; Andrew Kubaney, of Mercyhurst PreparatorySchool;Ahmed Abukar, Noah Bongiovanni and Gregory Westfall, of Northwest Pennsylvania Collegiate Academy; Charles Murphey, of Fairview High School; and Elizabeth Wahlenmayer and Rebecca Wahlenmayer, of Girard High School.

smaller data breaches in the past and failed to take action to protect consumers’ personal information. The class members could suffer harms including increased risk of fraud, identity theft and other financial losses, the suit states. Equifax will have the opportunity to respond to the claims in court. The firm declined to comment on the specifics of the lawsuit Thursday. “We cannot comment on pending litigation, but want to reassure consumers that we are remaining focused on helping them to navigate this situation and providing the best customer support possible,” an Equifax spokesman, Wyatt Jefferies, said in an email. “We are listening to issues consumers have experienced and their suggestions, which are helping to further inform our actions as we continue to improve this process.” Equifax has said on its website that the data breach was caused by a U.S. website application vulnerability. Sharp said consumers who were affected by the breach can still join the lawsuit. But if a settlement is reached, Sharp said, Pennsylvanians who were affected by the breach can still receive compensation even if they were not part of the lawsuit.

New program to market region’s workforce advancing By Matthew Rink matthew.rink@ timesnews.com

Plans to create a program that wouldpromote the region’s “high quality” workforce to prospective employers could be advanced by Erie County Council next week. Erie County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper on Thursday asked council to appropriate $50,000 for the “Up for the Job” initiative when it meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday. The money would be used to hire consulting firm Parker Phillips. Other sources of funding, including the Erie County Gaming Revenue Authority and the Erie Regional Chamber & Growth Partnership, would bring the total to $102,000. Additional funding

will be sought both locally and through the state, Dahlkemper told council’s Finance Committee Thursday. The idea was born a year ago when leaders from Local 506 of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers at GE Transportation approached the county. The union said companies from across the country had asked the union to send them the names of laid-off workers. “They said, ‘Can’t we find a way to let the world know about the workforce we have in Erie County?’” Dahlkemper said. In addition to the union, ECGRA and the chamber, officials from Gov. Tom Wolf’s office, the state’s Rapid Response unit andUnited Way created the “Up for

the Job” program. The program would market Erie’s workforce and other assets unknown to the “rest of the world,” Dahlkemper said, in an effort to encourage businesses to expand, locate or relocate here. “Up for theJob” would be more than just a “feel-good campaign,” she added. It will entail research. Already compiled is a spreadsheet listing all of the local workforce’sskill sets. “We know we have one of the most highly skilled workforces in the country and we think they can help support further growth in this area,” Dahlkemper said. “We think it’s imperative to look at what the hit to our economy would be if these individuals were enticed to leave Erie County and take their skill set

elsewhere.” One challenge Erie faces is dispelling negative perceptions, said Barbara Chaffee, president and CEO of the Regional Chamber & Growth Partnership. “It’s really important that we work to counter the social-media negative side because that’s the first place companies go to look for a location,” she said. Councilwoman Kathy Fatica said the program has already created a buzz. “Organized labor is talking about this, excited about it and encouraging us to do this,” she said. “They want to stay here.” Matthew Rink can be reached at 870-1884 or by email.

Hearing scheduled on ordinance impacting landlord, tenants By Matthew Rink matthew.rink@ timesnews.com

Proposed changes to the county’s anti-discrimination law won’t be approved by Erie County Council on Tuesday. Instead, Council Chairman Jay Breneman has called a public hearing to explain the proposal and seek input from citizens. The nine-member Erie County Human Relations Commission has asked council to approve three changes to the county’s anti-discrimination ordinance, which has been in place since 2004. The ordinance currently prohibits discrimination by race, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability

and sexual orientation in the areas of employment, housing and public accommodations. The commission wants to add protections for “gender identity,” “source of income” and “criminal history.” Other cities have similar language in their anti-discrimination policies. Adding “criminal history” would comply with U.S. Department of HousingandUrbanDevelopment guidelines. Commission and council members met with members of the Apartment Association of Northwestern Pennsylvania, the Greater Erie Alliance for Equality and other groups Thursday to discuss the proposal. Human Relations Commission Executive

Director Joe Aguglia said Thursday “gender identity” is already part of the ordinance. It falls under “sexual identity.” The intent of the change is to make gender identity a class of its own. Currently, state and federal law do not classify gender identity as a protected class. Members of those groups expressed concerns that “source of income” would require them to participate in the federal Section 8 housing program. Aguglia said landlords would not have to participate inand could opt-outofSection8housing as long as they don’t divert from past practice. He also defined “source of income” as being from “lawful, verifiable” means.

Drawing the most concern remains the proposal to add “criminal history.” Landlords said they have an obligation to protect other tenants and are concerned the proposal would be too restrictive. Brenemanscheduledthe public hearing because of the“verystrong”response to the proposal.Thehearingwillbeheldfrom5:45to 6:45 p.m. Tuesdayin Erie County Council Chambers, Room 117, in the Erie County Courthouse. Speakers will be given no more than two-and-ahalf minutes to address council. Matthew Rink can be reached at 870-1884 or by email. Follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/ETNrink.

1 soldier killed, 7 injured at Fort Bragg The Associated Press

FORTBRAGG,N.C.—A training exercise involving demolitions killed one special operations soldier and injured seven others at the Army’s largest base Thursday,justadayafter15 Marines were hurt in a fire whiletraininginCalifornia. The soldiers were taken to several hospitals, including the Womack Army Medical Center on base for treatment, said Lt. Col. Rob Bockholt, a spokesman for the U.S. Army’sSpecialOperations Command, which is based

at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. Staff Sgt. Alexander P. Dalida, 32, of Dunstable, Massachusetts, was killed during the exercise, Bockholt said. The cause of death is under investigation. Dalida, who enlisted in 2006, was assigned to 1st Special Warfare Training Group (Airborne). Bockholt didn’t know the extent of the other soldiers’ injuries. Initial reports said the injuries happened in an explosion, but Bockholt says he could not confirm that.

“There was an incident that occurred on one of the ran g e s , ” Bockholt said, adding that the command is investigating. “We’re looking into exactly what happened.” The soldiers were students from the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School and they were at a range on base, the Army said. A day earlier, eight Marines were rushed to a burn center and seven others also were hospitalized after a fire in their amphibious vehicle

during training at Camp Pendleton in California. Also, a soldier was killed Tuesday night during hoist training for medical helicopter evacuations at Fort Hood in Texas. Outside Fort Bragg’s gates, it seemed like a typical day, with cars and trucks streaming in and out of one of the world’s largest Army installations.

IN BRIEF

Marquette among best places to work

Biking event set for Friday

Marquette Savings Bank was named as one the top 100 places to work in Pennsylvania in a list released by Team Pennsylvania recently. The bank, which has seven branches in Erie County and five in Crawford County, was the only business in the county to be named to the list. To be eligible for consideration, a business has to employ at least 15 people in Pennsylvania and be in business for at least one year. Winners applied and were chosen based on the highest combined scores in a twofold evaluation: a review of the company’s workforce policies, practices, philosophies, systems and demographics, and the results of an employee survey measuring satisfaction. Team Pennsylvania, a nonprofit established to connect private and public sector leaders, issues the list annually. Winners will be announced at a celebration dinner Nov. 30 at the Lancaster County Convention Center in Lancaster.

Erie County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper will lead her fourth annual Bike Around the County ride on Friday. The 40-mile ride will begin in Corry and end at the Erie County Courthouse in downtown Erie. A group of about 25 riders will travel on an Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority bus to Corry. The group will gather at the Corry Junction Greenway trailhead and then begin the ride. Stops are scheduled in Corry, Elgin, Wattsburg, Lake Pleasant and Greene Township. Stops on the route will showcase local history and municipalities, and highlight Erie County programs, such as the Agricultural Land Preservation Program and Greenways Grant Program. Stops will also provide information on bicycling trails like the planned Erie to Pittsburgh Trail.

Man held for trial in fatal shooting By Tim Hahn tim.hahn@timesnews.com

An Erie police detective testified on Thursday that 33-year-old Erie resident Shawn E. Smith admitted to pulling out a handgun and firing shots inside a crowded westside tavern on the early morning of April 30. Smith also said he didn’t hear any other gunfire, and did not see any other guns,

inside the tavern, Detective Mike Suchy said. Police charge that one of the shots Smith is accused of firing inside the Ultra View Lounge, 901 W. Fourth St., struck 28-year-old Erie resident De’Andre Carter in the chest, causing his death. Smith was held for trial on all charges following his preliminary hearing before Erie 3rd Ward District Judge Tom Carney on

Family-friendly activities welcome fall

REGION | B3

$150,518 AWARDED TO EVENTS, GROUPS

Thursday morning. Prosecutors dropped counts of first-, second- and thirddegree murder at the start of the hearing, as Erie County Assistant District Attorney Jeremy Lightner told Carney he would proceed under the general count of criminal homicide. Smith, who also faces charges including aggravated assault and recklessly endangering, remains in the

Erie County Prison without bond. Carter died at a Pittsburgh hospital on May 3. No bullets or bullet fragments connected to his death were recovered from his body at autopsy, although a bullet fragment was found that was not consistent with the shot that killed him and came from another “event,” Suchy testified under questioning by Lightner.

Suchy testified that witnesses told investigators they heard three gunshots fired inside the tavern, which contained an estimated 40 to 75 people at the time. Investigators recovered two .380-caliber shell casings and two .380-caliber bullets from inside the tavern, and the bullets matched the casings and were fired from the See SHOOTING, B2

f you thumb through your Erie Times-News Friday to the Weekend section, you’ll find a hefty list of fall activities, most of them family-friendly, to do in the Erie region. Say goodbye to flipflops, suntan lines and beach hair and say hello to bluejeans, cardigan sweaters, scarves and boots — and a new wave of events to enjoy in the region. They may not involve the sun, beach and sand, but most involve pumpkins, fall treats and costumes. I was astonished at the number of fall festivals, foliage tours, Halloweenthemed events and more there were to choose from in northwestern Pennsylvania. There was so much to choose from that I had to be selective when deciding what to include in the list. My online list, which you can find on GoErie. com, includes 65 activities going on from now through the end of October. That theoretically means you could do one activity on the list per day and still not cover them all. Who doesn’t love dressing the kiddos up as furry and cuddly little creatures and toting them around town to collect candy? Who would turn down sipping apple cider or hot chocolate while enjoying the history and foliage on a hay wagon tour around Presque Isle? We, in the Erie region, See GRABSKI, B2

Ceremony honors 31 grads in job program By Ron Leonardi ron.leonardi@timesnews.com

Vilmarie Torres, 22, admits she was wandering through life during the past couple years, unsure of what she wanted to do and whether any career possibilities would materialize. Several months ago, the Erie resident decided to pursue registration in the Eagle’s Nest Employability Initiative with UPMC Hamot, a program partnership with Bishop Dwane Brock’s Victory Christian Center ministry. “I really wanted to be in the health care field,” Torres said. “Bishop Brock told me to participate in his program and he taught me culture, how to deal with different backgrounds, how to teach myself self-respect. I learned so much through this

Customers wait in line for TV boxes By David Bruce david.bruce@timesnews.com

Michele McConnell’s first thought, as she stood in line Wednesday outside Spectrum’s Millcreek Square office, was that she was going to divorce her husband. Just kidding, the Fairview Township woman said. But she was peeved a little that she had to wait about 15 minutes in line to pick up two digital boxes for her televisions. “They kept playing the message on TV, going through the instructions for getting these boxes, but my husband didn’t pay attention,” McConnell said with a laugh. “Now, though, nothing comes on the TV at all.”

Spectrum, formerly known as Time Warner Cable, scrambled its signal this week to thousands of Erie-area customers so they couldn’t watch its programming without a digital box, a process they call a cutover. It is part the company’s conversion to what it calls a 100 percent, all-digital network that will allow Spectrum to provide faster speeds and more content. Previously the digital boxes provided additional channels but were not required to watch programming on digital televisions. Lines of customers have been reported the past few days at both local Spectrum offices near the See SPECTRUM, B2

program, I love it.” Torres was hired in March at Hamot as a full-time nurse assistant. Thursday afternoon, she was among 31 students honored for their successful program completion during an afternoon certificate ceremony attended by about 150 people at Hamot. “This means so much to me,” Torres said. “It’s empowering. Words can’t explain how excited I am. It makes me feel accomplished.” Hamot and the Victory Christian Center launched the program in 2015 to mentor and educate at-risk youth for jobs at Hamot. “This program is fulfilling not just a need for these young people and their personal lives in our community, but fulfilling a need here in the hospital as well,”

Brock said. “To see them navigate through this maze of blessing here is phenomenal. They are now health care professionals.” Brock and a group of community leaders spend a month tutoring and training students in what Brock calls “hard core soft skills training.” “They have to take my training, which means they have to be to class on time,” Brock said. “They learn the dynamics of the work ethic. They learn to respect authority, they learn about having a plan A, a plan B, even a plan C. We even set them up with bank accounts, so once they get paid, they’ll know how to handle their money. We give them a crash course in financial literacy. We teach them how to go on a proper See EAGLES, B2

SHOOTING

where Smith is believed to have been standing in the tavern, and the other recovered bullet went through a wall and into the ceiling of a neighboring room, the detective testified. Suchy said under cross-examination by Smith’s lawyer, Nathaniel Strasser, that police did not recover any evidence related to a third gunshot investigators believe struck and killed Carter. No DNA testing was done on the two recovered bullets, and the two recovered shell casings were not sent for DNA and fingerprint testing, Suchy said. He also said the tavern’s security system was not recording at the time of the shooting. Strasser argued after testimonythatthecharges should be dismissed because there was no evidence that the gunshots Smith admitted to firing

caused Carter’s death. Lightner argued that Smith not only admitted to firing his gun, but told detectives that he did not hear any other gunshots inside the tavern and did not see another gun. The shooting inside the Ultra View Lounge occurred about 20 minutes before Erie police charge that Smith pulled out a gun and fired it outside of a gas station on Erie’s east side as two other men engaged in a gunfight on the morning of April 30. Smith was charged with 11 offenses for his accused role in that shooting, including carrying a firearm without a license and riot, and he was held for trial on the charges at his preliminary hearing on Aug. 14.

Not every community is lucky enough to experience corn mazes, pumpkin patches and fresh, locallypressed apple cider. Not every community gets the opportunity to go trick-or-treating through the zoo or the mall or on ghost walks or experience foliage railroad tours. I’m excited to use the

Smith first told police that he heard two or three gunshots inside the tavern, but after he admitted to firing his gun he said he fired “like two” times, Suchy said. Smith told investigators he fired the gun straight up into the ceiling in order to get people to disperse, because some people he was with had been involved a confrontation with other people, Suchy said. One of the recovered bullets was found in the ceiling at an angle away from

Presque Isle Downs & Casino fined $12,500 By Ed Palattella ed.palattella@ timesnews.com

Problems at a blackjack table have cost Presque Isle Downs & Casino $12,500. The Pennsylvania GamingControlBoardhas fined the Summit Township gaming complex $10,000 and required it to pay another $2,500 in investigative costs for violationsinvolvingdealers improperly handling cardsattheblackjacktable in January. The board announced the penalties on Wednesday, when it approved the

consent agreement at its regular public meeting in Harrisburg. The agreement was signed in July. The discipline grew out of a board investigation in which multiple violations were discovered in the dealing of blackjack hands between Jan. 11-13, according to the consent agreement.Theviolations pertained to table BJ-05, one of 21 blackjack tables at Presque Isle Downs & Casino, according to the agreement and the board. One violation concerned a dealer shuffling cards without a patron presenttovisuallyinspect the cards, as required,

on Jan. 11. A manager observed “the shuffle and didnotcorrectthedealer’s actions,” according to the agreement.Theotherviolations, according to the agreement, concerned dealers who repeatedly failed to remove the first card from the blackjack dealing shoe and place thecardinthediscardrack beforedealingcardstothe player. The mishandling of the cards in that fashion occurred seven times on Jan. 11 and nine times on Jan. 13, according to the agreement. The errors violated board regulations and “allowed the integrity of

the games to be compromised,” the agreement said. A spokeswoman for Presque Isle Downs & Casino did not respond to a request seeking comment. Theconsentagreement statedthatthefinewasthe first imposed on Presque Isle Downs & Casino for table-game violations since the Gaming Control Board last approved the complex’s license, in September 2016.

Helene Streuber Becker, 102, of Erie, passed away in the early hours of Friday, September 8, 2017, following a brief illness and a remarkably long life. She was born in Erie, on May 7, 1915, to the late Harry John and Alice Veeder Streuber. Helene was the second of three sisters who would remain close throughout their long lives. Over an eight-month period from 1921 to 1922, the girls lost their baby brother, Harry Jr., their mother and their father. Rather than being consigned to the orphanage, they continued to be raised in the family home on West 19th Street by their maiden aunt and uncle, Emma Henrietta Philippina and Frederick Leopold Streuber, known affectionately as Umma and Peewee. Helene attended Washington School, where her kindergarten teacher, Elizabeth Spafford, would turn out to be the aunt of her future husband, Spafford Becker. She matriculated to Academy High School where she danced around the maypole in the stadium on May Day. Following her graduation, she went on to Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., all the while making friendships that would last a lifetime. A gifted artist with a love of fashion, Helene dreamed of living in New York City but cheerfully returned to Erie and took a position at the downtown Halle Brothers, working in the lingerie department for ten dollars a week. The tall, unassuming and extraordinarily kind Helene entranced conﬁrmed bachelor Spafford Becker and they wed in 1943. Their placid temperaments, charm and generosity meant that their gracious homes on South Shore Drive and their cottage in North East are remembered to this day by those many who enjoyed their warm hospitality. Luncheon guests were provided with a tuna salad sandwich and a Coke, along with a delicious homemade brownie; those coming in the late afternoon were treated to a glass of champagne and a canapé. A talented writer known for witty poems, Helene gained notoriety in the 1990s when she penned a series of Flashbacks for the Erie Times-News. She received fan mail and phone calls for months following each newspaper appearance. It was well-deserved recognition of her prodigious memory of Erie’s history. In addition to her role as wife, mother and doting grandmother, Helene was a devoted member of the Junior League and gave many decades of service to the Hamot Aid Society. She also loved traveling each year to New York City to take in the Broadway shows and Fifth Avenue, as well as winter breaks in Palm Beach. She longed to see Paris, yet somehow never made it. She saw the good in everyone, befriending any and all, and never had an unkind word. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, J. Spafford Becker; her sisters, Virginia Sheriff and Jane Arrowsmith; her baby brother, Harry Jr.; her grandson, Jeffrey Spafford Potter; and nearly all of her many beloved friends. She is survived by her daughters, Nancy B. Potter and Barbara B. Harris (Charles); her son, John S. Becker (Cindy); two grandchildren, Alexa D. Potter and Drew S. Harris (Valerie); a cousin, Carol Dalzell; and many nieces and nephews. Friends are invited to call at Burton Funeral Home and Crematory, Inc., 602 W. 10th St., Erie, on Saturday, September 16th from 10:00 until the time of service at 11:30. Private burial will be at the Erie Cemetery. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations may be made to the Erie Art Museum, 411 State St., Erie, PA 16501, C.O.R.E. Center for Organ Recovery and Education, 204 Sigma Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15238, or the Make-A-Wish Foundation, 4742 North 24th Street, Suite 400 Phoenix, AZ 85016.

Poisoning of eagles should spur action The issue: Lead is killing bald eagles Our view: Don’t leave toxic shot in wild

rie Times-News photographer Jack Hanrahan captured images both sad and demoralizing Wednesday at Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center. Carol Holmgren, executive director and a wildlife rehabilitator at the center, sought to treat a 5-year-old female bald eagle for lead poisoning, but soon realized it was too late. She gathered the bird —by nature a fierce, splendid raptor —into her arms and cradled it as it died. The eagle, whom she had been calling Beauty in her mind, was the sixth bald eagle she had treated for lead toxicity in the past six weeks. All but one died. The aggressive treatment involves medication that draws metal out of the birds’ tissues and blood and flushing the birds’ stomachs. Normally, the nonprofit center in Woodcock Township, Crawford County, treats two or three lead-poisoned eagles in a year. This year, Holmgren told reporter Ron Leonardi, “it’s off the charts.” The eagles are not to blame. We are, again. Holmgren said research indicates eagles are likely ingesting lead by eating animal carcasses, such as groundhogs and deer, that were killed with lead ammunition, or by eating ducks who have swallowed lead fishing sinkers. Just a tiny fragment can poison the birds, Holmgren said. When the eagle Holmgren called Beauty was delivered to Tamarack from Oil Creek State Park, she was weak and thin with labored breathing and drooping wings, all classic lead poisoning symptoms. Tests confirmed high levels. Life in the wild is full of peril. But the suffering and premature deaths of these birds, our national symbol, shouldstir shame and action. Lead poisoning, like other mortal threats posed to bald eagles by humans in the past, is preventable. The Pennsylvania Game Commission is working to analyze data to better understand the deaths. That research should be stepped up, as should educational efforts aimed at sportsmen, who surely have no interest in inflicting such miserable deaths on bald eagles while hunting game or casting for fish. While a lead shot ban in this state seems politically unfeasible, sportsmen could reduce instances of bald eagle poisoning by voluntarily choosing non-lead shot or by retrieving or burying carcasses of animals killed with lead ammunition. Three decades ago, just three known bald eagle nests remained in Pennsylvania. A ban of the pesticide DDT in 1973 and federal protections extended to the bald eagle under the Endangered Species Act set the stage for recovery. In 1983, the Game Commission introduced 88 young eagles from Saskatchewan, Canada, into the state. There are now more than 250 nesting pairs, including many in Erie and Crawford counties. Their comeback has been thrilling. It should not be set back, and especially not like this.

Oil companies faulted for gas price increase Isn’t that just like the oil companies to consider raising the price of gasoline during a catastrophic event like Hurricane Harvey. The entire nation is pooling their resources to help get the homeless the aid they need to resume a normal life, and the oil companies react with a price hike. Go figure. — B. Chodubski, Erie

Millcreek parent praises reaction to bus issues I would like to take a moment to elaborate and follow up on my comments that were quoted in the Erie Times-News on Sept. 1 (“Millcreek schools roll with busing changes”). First, I do not believe the miscommunication between Millcreek and Montessori Regional Charter School was in any way purposeful. It was simply that — an unfortunate miscommunication. It happens. The start time issue was resolved in less than 48 hours of the discovered mistake. Starting Sept. 1, my son’s bus comes at a much more appropriate time. That is certainly commendable. Second, there are students on the bus my daughter rides that require additional assistance in boarding and disembarking. There are specific reasons this bus must unload at McDowell Senior High. I understand, given traffic congestion caused by other buses, students who drive themselves to school, parents driving their children to school and the traffic of the general public, that my daughter’s bus and other buses cannot logistically drop students off at both buildings. Unfortunately, the bus to which she was assigned is scheduled to drop off at the senior high. Millcreek is currently working very hard to find an alternate bus for her, one that is scheduled to drop students at McDowell Intermediate. I have faith that the issue will be resolved very soon. I want to also say that my contact has been phenomenal in assisting us with our bus issues. She has been extremely empathetic and has gone above and beyond to find acceptable resolution for us. She has spent a considerable amount of time speaking with me directly. — B. Schmitt, Millcreek

Sports Editor

This is a shout-out of appreciation for Monica Lewis, Erie Times-News contributor, and her weekly installment of Sass & the City. By anchoring the last page

of Showcase with her column, the editor, in my opinion, has chosen to save the best for last. Monica’s writing consistently delivers that rare combination of humor, intelligence and heart. I unfailingly laugh out loud when reading it. I also come away with a lighterhearted look at this crazy life, as well as more compassion for every one of us who are trying, day by day, to make sense of it. In these divisive times, I am deeply grateful to those who can teach us what joins us, instead of what divides us. Monica’s column reminds us that, when shared, humor and laughter can be healing medicine with a very powerful side effect: togetherness. — Mimi O’Connor, Erie

President Trump compared to ‘Caine Mutiny’ captain In the 1954 movie “The Caine Mutiny,” Capt. Phillip Francis Queeg (played by Humphrey Bogart) shows dangerous signs of paranoia as commander of a U.S. minesweeper. He lies to his officers, makes false accusations about the behavior of the crew, and is considered by the sailors to be a nut. The ship’s communications officer asks the second-in-command, Stephen Maryk, to consider relieving Queeg on the basis of mental incapacity under Navy article 284. Maryk resists, but finally, during a storm when Queeg will not reverse course and talk on ballast, and as the ship begins to founder, Maryk

takes over command and saves the vessel from going under. The USS America is presently under the command of a Queeg-like figure who lies to the nation about almost everything, makes false accusations against those he dislikes, and is considered by many to be mentally unbalanced. But this situation can be remedied. Congress can take the helm and invoke the 25th Amendment to save our ship of state from sinking. I pray that it does so. — Martin H. Levinson, Forest Hills, New York

Rigid ideology prevents any genuine dialogue Social media has brought our social discourse down several notches, both in expression and content. Anyone who is anybody can come off as an “expert” on just about any topic, when in fact they are illinformed or not informed at all about that of which they speak. I’ve noticed that some politicians seemed to be possessed of an ideology and are never truthfully capable of dialogue since their mind is already made up and their answers are supplied by their ideology. Ideology ends by eclipsing human reason, shutting it down, and putting it on one track. I believe you cannot dialogue with an ideologue; you simply agree, disagree or turn them off, since there’s no flexibility that would permit a genuine exchange of ideas. — Dennis M. Kudlak, Erie

ANOTHER VIEW

Hillary Clinton still doesn’t get ‘what happened’ in election

Marc Thiessen

illary Clinton’s new memoir of her failed presidential campaign is titled “What Happened.” A better title would be “What Happened?” because Clinton apparently has no idea. Clinton has blamed her loss on an ever-changing cast of characters — Russia, WikiLeaks, James Comey and Bernie Sanders. Now she has put the blame on a new scapegoat: millions of bigoted white nationalists. Clinton told Jane Pauley of CBS News’ “Sunday Morning” that Donald Trump won because he “was quite successful in referencing a nostalgia that would give hope, comfort, settle grievances, for millions of people who were upset about gains that were made by others,” Clinton said. When Pauley asked, “What you’re saying is millions of white people?” Clinton replied, “Millions of white people, yeah. Millions of white people.”

In an interview with NPR on Tuesday, Clinton was even more explicit. Trump’s message, she said, was “discriminatory, it was bigoted, it was prejudiced. And yet it fed into part of the electorate that just wanted to have a primal scream. They didn’t like what was going on. ... They really responded to his racial and ethnic and sexist appeals.” So Clinton believes she lost Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and the presidency because of the bigotry of middle America. One problem with her analysis: Millions of those white people who voted for Trump also proudly voted for Barack Obama. There are nearly 700 counties in the United States that voted twice for Obama, one-third of which flipped to Trump in 2016. According to Nate Cohn of The New York Times, “almost one in four of President Obama’s 2012 white working-class supporters defected from the Democrats in 2016, either supporting Mr. Trump or voting for a third-party candidate.” Are all of those Trump-Obama voters bigots? Millions of once reliably Democratic voters pulled the lever for the first black

president, yet they were suddenly whipped up into a racist furor by Trump’s “racial and ethnic and sexist appeals”? Give me a break. As Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg has pointed out, many of these workingclass Obama-Trump voters were not even white. “The Democrats don’t have a ‘white working-class problem,’” Greenberg wrote recently in the American Prospect. “They have a ‘working-class problem.’ ... Democrats have lost support with all working-class voters across the electorate, including the Rising American Electorate of minorities, unmarried women, and millennials.” Why did so many Obama voters defect to Trump? It wasn’t race or immigration. According to a survey by the liberal super PAC Priorities USA Action, the top seven priorities were 1.) protecting Social Security and Medicare; 2.) creating good-paying jobs for American workers; 3.) making sure Americans have access to affordable insurance; 4.) cleaning up corruption in government; 5.) cracking down on outsourcing; 6.) making sure the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes; and 7.)

Saegertown roundabouts ‘welcome,’ but there’s still a ‘learning curve’ By Valerie Myers valerie.myers@timesnews.com

SAEGERTOWN — After two years of construction, detours and back-roads access to Main Street businesses, Saegertown is no longer a work in progress. New roundabouts are open at Route 198 and Route 6⁄19 at the northern and southern ends of the town, and a new deck and beams have been added to the bridge carrying Route 198 over French Creek north of town. “I thank you for your patience,” Bill Petit, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation district executive in northwestern Pennsylvania, told town leaders at the southern roundabout Thursday. “And thank you to the business community. We know we impacted your businesses for the last year and a half and placed an additional burden on you at both ends of your community. “But I think we’re going to deliver the safety we’ve all come to expect with these roundabouts and add to the vitality of your community,” Petit said. The southern roundabout opened June 19. The northern roundabout opened Aug. 29.Major construction began in August 2016. “There’s still a learning curve. We’ve seen people stop in the roundabouts and even go backward,”

Saegertown Borough Manager Chuck Lawrence Jr. said. “Overall, people are handling them well.” The roundabouts replace T-intersections where traffic often backed up as students and workers headed to and from school and jobs. There also were a number of “T-bone” crashes at the intersections through the years as drivers tried to beat oncoming traffic, transportation officials said. “People ask us why we do roundabouts,” Petit said. “It’s for safety. There’s a 90 percent reduction in fatalities and a 75 percent reduction in major injuries compared to traditional intersections. There’s also 30 percent more efficient travel.” Safety at the region’s first roundabout, opened in Waterford Township in August 2014, bears that out. There had been only a minor crash at the roundabout since it opened in August 2014, PennDOT spokesman Jim Carroll said. Five people on average had been injured at the intersection each of the previous five years. There’s already been one crash but no serious injuries in Saegertown, where a driver that state police described as impaired crashed into the southern roundabout Aug. 22. The roundabouts are gateways to Saegertown,

Lawrence said. Inside both single-lane roundabouts are low circular walls lettered with “Saegertown.” The roundabouts are also decorated with plants, and with flags and poles donated anonymously. Reaction to the roundabouts has been largely positive, Saegertown Borough Council President Lenny Stites said. “Everybody seems to be very happy with them,” he said. “People are saying, ‘How many years have we been paying taxes; it’s nice now to seen this investment of $10 million in our small community.’” Saegertown has been the only local town to welcome roundabouts almost without reservation, Petit said. “A few years ago we had a public meeting not too far from where we’re standing to talk about improvements to this corridor,” Petit said. “And from that first meeting when we first talked about these diabolical roundabouts, the reaction was overwhelmingly positive.” The Saegertown roundabouts are the second and third in the region. A fourth will be built at Route 5 and Millfair Road in Millcreek and Fairview townships in 2018. Valerie Myers can be reached at 878-1913 or by email. Follow her on Twitter at twitter.com/ETNmyers.

keeping Wall Street in check. That is hardly a white nationalist agenda. Another reason these Obama voters defected to Trump is that they kept hearing from Clinton and the Democrats how great the economy was doing. Yet, according to Priorities USA Action, “50 percent of Obama-Trump voters said their incomes are falling behind the cost of living, and another 31 percent said their incomes are merely keeping pace with the cost of living.” When Clinton touted Obama’s economic progress, she seemed hopelessly out of touch. Clinton still can’t seem to tell the difference between a white nationalist and working-class voters who are upset because their family incomes are stagnant or falling, they feel shut out of the labor force, and their communities are mired in substance abuse and despair. These “forgotten Americans” had legitimate grievances that Democrats ignored. That sent a message to working-class voters that Democrats are not focused on fighting for them. So they defected. Add to this Clinton’s inability to connect with

her party’s liberal base (the so-called drop-off voters who turned out for Obama but failed to show up for her) — plus the Clinton Foundation and her repeated lies about her personal server, which led large majorities of Americans to conclude that she was dishonest and corrupt — and you had the toxic brew that produced her electoral defeat. Clinton says she is done with electoral politics, so it really does not matter if she understands “what happened.” But there is little sign that Democrats today understand, much less are doing what is necessary to win back these working-class voters in the heartland. Instead, they have declared themselves “The Resistance” — further alienating these voters who put Trump in office, while hoping that they can turn out their liberal base in the next election. That’s precisely the strategy that failed in 2016. We’ll see if doubling down on failure works in 2020. Marc Thiessen writes a weekly column for The Washington Post.

Erie man pleads to charge in fatal Summit crash By Tim Hahn tim.hahn@timesnews.com

An Erie man pleaded no contest on Thursday to a felony charge in an August 2016 crash in Summit Township that led to the death of a Waterford man. George M. Crawford, 27, pleaded no contest before Erie County Judge John Garhart on Thursday morning to a count of accidents involving death or personal injury that was amended from a second-degree felony to a third-degree felony. Four summary charges were dismissed under an agreement with prosecutors that led to the no-contest plea. Crawford faces a mandatory minimum of 90 days in prison and a $1,000 fine, and a maximum penalty of seven years in prison and a $15,000 fine, prosecutors said in court. Garhart set Crawford’s sentencing for Oct. 26. The Pennsylvania State Police filed the charges against Crawford in October following an investigation into the accident, which happened on Peach Street,

near Rotunda Drive, on the afternoon of Aug. 1, 2016. Police charge that Crawford was driving a Dodge Ram pickup truck north on Peach Street when he merged into the center lane in front of a Suzuki motorcycle driven by 46-year-old Waterford resident Matthew Love. Troopers said Love lost control of the motorcycle while attempting to avoid hitting the truck and crashed. Love was taken to UPMC Hamot, where he died three days later. Troopers said Crawford left the accident scene but later contacted state police and reported that he had been involved in an accident on Peach Street. He told investigators he saw Love lose control of the motorcycle, but did not stop because he wanted to get back to work, police wrote in the affidavit of probable cause filed with the criminal complaint.

Meadville man pleads guilty to charges in police pursuit By Tim Hahn tim.hahn@timesnews.com

A Meadville man charged with fleeing from Pennsylvania State Police troopers in western Erie County after he escaped from a prisoner transport and stole a car in Cleveland in March pleaded guilty on Thursday to four charges in the case. Wesley A. Massey, 34, pleaded guilty before Erie

County Judge John Garhart Thursday morning to a felony count of fleeing police; to summary counts of driving under suspension and speeding; and to a count of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle that was changed from a third-degree felony to a second-degree misdemeanor. Four other summary charges were dropped by prosecutors under an agreement that led to the pleas.

Massey remains in the Erie County Prison on $75,000 bond. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 26. Massey also faces trial in Crawford County on charges in two criminal cases. He was charged by the Conneaut Lake Regional Police Department in an investigation involving unauthorized purchases made on a company credit card in 2015; and was charged by the

Meadville Police Department with weapons and forgery offenses in a 2016 incident. Investigators said Massey was apprehended in Florida on warrants in the Crawford County cases and was being brought back to Pennsylvania when he escaped from a private prison transport company in Cleveland and stole a Volkswagen Passat from a rental facility at a local airport in March.

police spotted the Volkswagen on Interstate 90 in western Erie County and attempted to stop it, but Massey fled south on Route 215 and east on Old Albion Road before he was eventually stopped in Albion, according to investigators.

Hurricane Irma had just battered Cape Coral, Florida, late Sunday night as Marilou Trott was dealing with an equally life-changing event. Her husband of 57 years, Fred Trott, was living his final moments not long after the eye of the hurricane Fred Trott passed over Gulf Coast Village Nursing Home. “Then there was a complete calm,” she recalled Wednesday. “God shut everything down and gave Fred a direct route to heaven.” Fred Trott died early Monday at the age of 80 of complications from a longterm fight with Alzheimer’s. He was well known in the Erie area for his standout careers as an athlete and coach. Although Fred and Marilou Trott bought a home in Florida in 1989, they continued to spend summers at their lakeside cottage in North East through 2016. An Erie native, Fred Trott attended Academy High School, where he starred in football, wrestling and track before graduating in 1955. He continued his three-sport career in college at Edinboro, where he was named Outstanding Senior Athlete of the Year in 1959. He was inducted into the Edinboro Athletics Hall of Fame in 1987. Trott was perhaps most renowned for his exploits as Tech Memorial’s track and field coach from 196689. He created a dynasty at Tech, where his teams won 10 straight city titles and five District 10 championships in the 1970s and early 1980s. His 1978 team won the state title, and his 1979 Centaurs were state runners-up. He coached many great athletes, including fivetime state champion sprinter Dwayne Blanchard in the late 1970s and twotime state champ Dietrich Jells in the late 1980s. Trott was inducted into the MetroErie Chapter of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of

Erie High hasn’t played a regular-season game outside of Veterans Stadium through three weeks. The Royals will get their first true road test Friday when they head to Waterford. Fort LeBoeuf, one of the toughest teams in the area to beat at home, will celebrate Homecoming as Erie visits for a Region 6 football showdown at 7 p.m. “We have to keep doing what we have been doing and make sure we play sound football on both sides

of the ball,” Erie coach Rob Matz said. “Fort LeBoeuf has a strong running attack and a good passing game as well.” The Royals (2-1 overall, 1-1 Region 6) played their first three games on their home field — one scheduled road game was moved there because of a large crowd against Cathedral Prep — but they begin a four-game stretch of games on the road. After Friday, Erie heads to Bedford High School in Ohio

Catch 22 CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Indians added a walk-off win to a streak that has had everything. Jay Bruce hit an RBI double in the 10th inning as the Indians rallied for their 22nd straight win to extend their AL record, beating the Kansas City Royals 3-2 on Thursday night to move within four wins of matching the 1916 New York Giants for the longest streak in major league history. After blowouts, shutouts and oh-so-easy wins, the Indians went into extras for the first time to keep the longest streak in 101 years intact. Ramirez led off the 10th with a hard hit into rightcenter off Brandon Maurer (2-2) that he turned into a double with a head-first slide. After Edwin Encarnacion walked, Bruce, the recent arrival who hit a three-run homer in win No. 21 on Wednesday, ripped a 2-0 pitch into the right-field corner. The Indians were down to their last strike in the ninth before Francisco Lindor hit

to play Trinity on Sept. 23 before traveling to Franklin on Sept. 29 and McDowell on Oct. 6. If heading to Waterford weren’t tough enough, the Bison (3-0, 0-0) are also celebrating Homecoming. “We have quite a tradition out here, and we hope to live up to it,” LeBoeuf coach Jeff Nichols said. “We are just practicing hard during the week and preparing as well as we can. We want to defend our home turf.” The Bison have outscored Northwestern, Eisenhower and Corry by a combined 114-30 in three non-region games. Two of those games were at LeBoeuf’s Carm Bonito Field.

s he has fought to a 9-0 record on the mixed-martial arts scene, including two wins to open his UFC career, Gregor Gillespie has maintained a needto-know approach to his training. In other words, if he doesn’t need to know something about an opponent, he doesn’t

want that information rattling around inside his head. So when asked about preparing to meet Jason Gonzalez on Saturday in UFC Fight Night 116 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Gillespie said he only needed to know two things about Gonzalez. “He’s tall and he’s a southpaw,” said Gillespie, a former NCAA wrestling champion and fourtime All-American at Edinboro who turned pro in 2014 and fights under the nickname “The Gift.” “I don’t really put my opponents under a microscope,” he said.

Erie team aims for PGA Erie, Mercyhurst to host prestigious hockey tourney Junior League region title Ice Breaker heading to Erie Insurance Arena in October 201 By Victor Fernandes victor.fernandes@ timesnews.com

Rick Gotkin had to keep the news about the 2018 Ice Breaker Tournament a secret for nearly two years. That was difficult, he said, because Mercyhurst University’s men’s hockey coach wanted to sharehisexcitementover the prestigious 20-yearold national tournament coming to Erie next year with everyone from the moment the opportunity to host arose. “There are 60 teams that play Division I men’s college hockey. There are going to be four teams involved in this tournament, and only one team hosting it,” Gotkin said Thursday after school and Erie Sports Commission officials announced Mercyhurst will face Notre Dame, Miami (Ohio) and Providence for the tournament championship

on Oct. 12-13, 2018 at Erie Insurance Arena. The event, which has Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine as title sponsor and former Mercyhurst athletic director Craig Barnett as tournament director, features an openingnight doubleheader — Providence and Miami at 4 p.m., followed by Mercyhurst and Notre Dame at 7:30 p.m. The consolation and championship games are set for the next night at 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m, respectively. “To be chosen to do this speaks volumes for not just Mercyhurst and Erie,” Gotkin added. “But really it speaks volumes for what people think of our product. And to me, that’s great.” Weekend passes begin selling Nov. 22 at the arena box office, at a cost of $49. Day passes will go on sale at a later date. The Lakers are the first Atlantic Hockey Association school to serve as host. They also played in the 2013 event at the University of Minnesota

in Minneapolis. They earned the nod over four undisclosed communities that placed bids for the 2018 tournament. Sertz credited ESC events director Mark Jeanneret with initially pursuing the tournament nearly two years, which soon led to getting Mercyhurst president Michael Victor and other school officials on board. Now, Sertz envisions a tournament that should recoup most of the projected expenses, which should exceed $200,000, and create an economic impact of more than $1 million. “To get a tournament like this is utterly amazing,” Victor said. “What it means for the university is national publicity that you can’t possibly buy. What it means to Erie and the region is, again, positive publicity. ... I think Erie is going to embrace it.” Victor Fernandes can be reached at 870-1716 or by email.

Otters face Knights in preseason finales Staff report

The Erie Otters renew their rivalry with the London Knights, albeit in preseason form, in their final games of the exhibition schedule this weekend. The Otters travel to Budweiser Gardens in London, Ontario,

on Friday for a 7:30 p.m. matchup against the Knights. Then the teams head to Komoka Community Centre in Komoka, Ontario, on Saturday for a 7 p.m. game. Goaltender Troy Timpano (Pittsburgh), defenseman Owen Headrick (Boston) and left wing Kyle

Staff report

An Erie all-star golf team seeks a PGA Junior League region tournament title that just eluded Erie’s team last year. Erie 1, comprised of players age 13 and under, bids to claim the league’s Northeast Region final. That four-team event is scheduled Friday and Saturday at the Atkinson (New Hampshire) Country Club. Erie finished second in last year’s region event, held in Harwich, Massachusetts, to the Suzy Whaley Golf Academy branch in Connecticut. Erie 1 is coached by

Troy Hassenplug and assisted by Eric Thompson of the Kahkwa Club. Its roster is comprised of 10 players, many of whom Hassenplug is familiar with as North East’s girls golf coach. The Swan siblings, Isaiah, Lydia and Anna, plus Leyton Hassenplug and Kyle Westfall, are representing North East’s Green Meadows Golf Course. Ryan Hathaway and Trey Thompson also made the team out of nearby Lake View Country Club. Braden Hilditch and Tegan Rucks (Lake Shore Country Club) and Breckin Taylor (Kahkwa)

round out Erie 1’s golfers, who advanced by winning three times in the Western, Central and Northeastern New York subregional. Atkinson will tee up on its home course as the league’s New England 1 victor. The Whaley Academy (New England 2) and Nassau County of New York (Metropolitan) are this weekend’s other participants. The league’s eight region victors will travel to Arizona for the 2017 PGA Junior League Championship. That Nov. 16-19 tournament is back at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Fame in 1998. He also spent 28 years as a math teacher at Tech. “He loved teaching. He never missed a day of school. Never,” Marilou Trottsaid. “I got a check for his unused sick days, and I went shopping like it was ‘The Price Is Right’.” Fred and Marilou Trott had three children — Lance Trott, Brett Trott and Lori Crossman — and nine grandchildren. Lori still lives in Erie, along with other extended family. “You couldn’t ask for a better father or husband,” Marilou said. Despite Fred Trott’s many athletic achievements, his family was most proud of the bonds that he formed with students, fellow coaches, friends and family

members. Lance Trott summed up his feelings about his father’s impact on people in a passage from a retrospective that he wrote this week. “If you had the pleasure of knowing Fred throughout his eight decades, you saw a man who cared deeply about family, about fairness, about giving people the opportunity to compete

(and excel), about influencing others through his teaching, through his generosity of time and money ... through his motivation and coaching, and about sharing his knowledge of life’s rewarding experiences.” Jeff Kirik can be reached at 870-1679 or by email.

Indians had been without Andrew Miller for the entirety of their 21-game winning streak entering Thursday night, but it didn’t mean they were without an effective lefty in the bullpen. Miller was activated off the 10-day disabled list on Thursday. He was placed there on Aug. 22, just before the streak started, with patellar tendonitis in his right knee, an injury he re-aggravated. Miller had already come back once from that injury this season, only to have to leave his second appearance. Miller said on Thursday he feel’s stronger now than he did the first time he returned to the roster. “I feel like I’m more prepared to take on a heavier load,” Miller said. “I think that’s important. I think last time we didn’t try to really monitor that kind of stuff and it was going to be tough. So hopefully it was a blessing in disguise that now they’ve got it more taken care of and understand it better and I’ll be more prepared

ROUNDUP

WHITE SOX 17, TIGERS 7: Avisail Garcia went 5 for 5 and drove in a career-high seven runs, Yoan Moncada scored five times and Chicago pounded out 25 hits while routing Detroit. The White Sox posted their highest hit total since getting 26 against Baltimore in 1981. The modern major league record for hits in a nine-inning game is 31, by Milwaukee in 1992 and the New York Giants in 1901. Garcia and Moncada each homered. Moncada had four hits and walked twice — the rookie had a chance to become the first White Sox player to reach base seven times in a nineinning game, but struck out in the ninth. RED SOX 6, ATHLETICS 2: Drew Pomeranz pitched six innings of one-run ball, and Andrew Benintendi had three hits and drove in three runs to lead AL East-leading Boston over Oakland. Christian Vazquez hit a solo homer and Mitch Moreland added an RBI double for the Red Sox, who have won six of eight. DIAMONDBACKS 7, ROCKIES 0: A.J. Pollock had four RBIs for the second straight day, J.D. Martinez homered for the 10th time in 11 games and Arizona extended its NL wild-card lead by beating Colorado. Zack Godley (8-7) pitched eight sharp innings as Arizona opened a five-game edge over Colorado atop the wild-card race. CARDINALS 5, REDS 2: Rookie Luke Weaver threw six innings of two-hit ball, Tommy Pham drove in two runs and stole two bases, and St. Louis topped Cincinnati.

Best game ever A look back at the TexasUSC 2006 Rose Bowl, the last time the Trojans and Longhorns met By Jim Vertuno The Associated Press

When Texas and Southern California last met on the football field, the Longhorns and Trojans put on a show many still call the greatest game in college football history. Surrounded by Hollywoodlevel hype and contested by a host of players who would go on to the NFL, Texas’ 41-38 upset victory in the 2006 Rose Bowl is still talked about today for its superstar performances, coaching decisions and two decisive fourth-down plays in the fourth quarter. The victory, largely on the arms and legs of quarterback Vince Young, earned the Longhorns their first national title in 36 years and denied the Trojans a chance to make history with three in a row. Texas (1-1) and No. 4 USC (2-0) meet again in Los Angeles on Saturday night, and here’s how some former Longhorns and Trojans players look back at that national championship game, from the buildup to Young’s winning touchdown: The hype Both teams came in undefeated but USC was the darling of the national media and favored to win. Texas had won the Rose Bowl the previous season but the Trojans were a two-time national champion with two Heisman Trophy winners in tailback Reggie Bush and quarterback Matt Leinart. Bush had won the Heisman that season over Young. For a month before the game, USC was compared to the all-time greatest teams in college football, which left the Longhorns seething. USC coach Pete Carroll’s embrace of the Hollywood scene of celebrities hanging around practice and on the sideline fueled the hype.

“I just remember us being so (mad) the whole time. We felt so disrespected,” Texas defensive tackle Tim Crowder said. “We knew we had just as much talent as they did. We were just some country guys, so we knew we were tough.” Young was quietly burning inside. After losing the Heisman to Bush, Young told senior teammates “get the boys ready. We ain’t losing.” The lateral After a slow start, USC led 7-0 when Bush took a screen pass and was off to the races for another score, or so everyone thought. But tracked down by two defenders, Bush shocked everyone when he tried to lateral to a trailing Trojan teammate. The ball hit the ground and Texas safety Michael Huff recovered. An early knockout punch didn’t get delivered and Texas scored on its next three possessions to lead 16-10 at halftime. Huff, who won the Thorpe Award as the nation’s best defensive back that season, said Bush and the Trojans were likely surprised by Texas’ speed on that play. Had Bush been free, he never pitches it. “In every other game, he would break away. We had Texas speed. He wasn’t used to people running with him,” Huff said. The interception That Texas speed killed another USC drive in the second quarter when Longhorns safety Michael Griffin roamed from the middle of the field to intercept a wouldbe touchdown pass to flanker Steve Smith. Griffin somehow got one foot in bounds in the corner of the end zone. “I knew I caught it. I didn’t know if I was in bounds. If Leinart had put more touch on it to get it there, it would have been a touchdown. I went the wrong direction at first,” Griffin said. “One of the greatest picks ever,” Huff said.

4th and 2 Two yards. That’s all USC needed with the ball at the Texas 45-yard line to put the game away, leading 38-33 with just over 2 minutes left. Instead of punting and perhaps pinning Young and Co. deep into their own end, Carroll went for the first down. Fullback LenDale White, who had already pounded Texas for 123 yards and three touchdowns, was the obvious choice the get the ball and Texas knew it. In fact, Bush was on the sideline watching when White took the handoff and plunged into the line, only to get stuffed inches short by Texas defensive end Brian Robinson, Huff and a host of Longhorns. Texas ball. For the next decade, USC fans would ask why Bush wasn’t on the field to at least serve as a decoy to open up the middle. “We hadn’t stopped that play all game. I ran in there with my eyes closed and fell into something. I don’t blame Pete at all, but if Bush would have been in the game, I probably would have been in the slot or covering him,” Huff said. 4th and 5 Texas still had to score. Young had already rushed for 198 yards when he stood in the shotgun on 4th and 5 from the USC 8-yard line with 19 seconds to play. Pressured on his left side, Young took off to his right, beat diving Trojans defensive end Frosty Rucker to the edge and loped into the end zone. Young looked so casual with the ball, carrying it in the palm of his huge hand the whole way. “There was a lane and my instincts took over. It was wide open,” Young said. “I give Rucker a hard time every time I see him or talk to him.” Young says he sometimes watches replays of the game on the Longhorn Network. “My son loves it,” Young said. “Dad, you’re on TV!”

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady doesn’t worry about concussions and considers them part of playing football, the New England Patriots quarterback says in a television interview to be broadcast this weekend. “I’m not oblivious to them,” Brady tells CBS Sunday Morning. “I mean, I understand the risks that, you know, come with . the physical nature of our game.” Brady’s wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, had said in a May interview that the quarterback has had unreported concussions and she worried about his long-term health. A joint NFL and players union investigation found this week therewasnoevidencethat Brady or the team failed to follow the league’s policies or procedures on concussions. A five-time Super Bowl champion and two-time league MVP, Brady had one of his best seasons ever last year at the age of 39. After missing the first four games to serve his “Deflategate” suspension, he threw for 3,554 yards and 28 touchdowns with only two interceptions, leading the Patriots to their fifth NFL title by rallying them from a 25-point deficit to the first overtime victory in Super Bowl history. The network said cohost Norah O’Donnell interviewed Brady multiple times, both at his suburban Boston home and at his TB12 Sports Therapy Center near the Patriots’ stadium. Now 40, Brady repeated his desire to continue playing until hisis45— something no non-kicker has done in modern NFL history. “I do want to go out on my terms,” he said. “I do want go out playing my best.” The NFL has struggled to come to terms with the danger of concussions and the lifetime health risks they pose. The league this year agreed to pay as much as $1 billion to former players who have been diagnosed with post-concussion symptoms that could include the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy. The NFL has also created game-day procedures in an attempt to identify concussions when they happen and keep concussed players from returning to the game. In light of a recent study that found CTE in the brains of 110 of the 111 former NFL players that were studied, O’Donnell asked Brady what he thought the effect would be on the league. “I don’t know what the future is going to look like, you know, and I’m not going to pretend to predict it,” Brady says. “And I’m going to do everything I can to take care of my body in advance of the, you know, of the hits that I’m going to take on Sunday.”

Leishman opens with a 62 DUDLEY to lead BMW Championship The Associated Press

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Marc Leishman left his golf clubs in his garage during his week break from the FedEx Cup playoff and it didn’t change anything. He made 10 birdies in the opening round of the BMW Championship for a 9-under 62 to build a two-shot lead. Jason Day made the biggest change of his career and had a 64, his best start in 16 months. The race to the FedEx Cup finale got off to a blistering start Thursday atConwayFarms,andno one could top Leishman. The Australian finished third at the TPC Boston two weeks ago, did nothing last week except practice putting in the

room above his garage, and then ran off seven birdies in a nine-hole stretch in the middle of his round and matched his best score on the PGA Tour. “When you play golf and all you’re thinking about his making birdies, it’saloteasierthantrying to not make bogeys,” Leishman said. Day made five birdies on the back nine to atone for a sluggish start in a tournament where his expectations were up in the air. He decided last week that Colin Swatton,themostmeaningful figure in his golf career, would no longer caddie for at least the rest of the year.Dayinsteadusedan old roommate from his school days in Australia, Luke Reardon. If that wasn’t enough, he also

changed putters. That might not have been nearly as significant as the good vibes from a six-shot victory at Conway Farms two years ago. Whatever the case, he had no complaints about his lowest score since a 63 in the AT&T Byron Nelson in May,andhisbestopening round since a 63 at The Players Championship a year ago, which was the last tournament he won. “A good step in the rightdirection,especially with having Luke on the bag,” Day said. “Obviously, not having Colin on the bag is something different and I just didn’t know how I was going to play. I think Luke did a fantastic job out there. Weworkedwelltogether and hope we can keep that going.”

Erie’s Lefebre 3rd place to start Bassmaster Angler of Year tourney Staff report

“When you start dissecting someone too much it ends up hurting you. I trust what I can do and I trust that my trainers are preparing me accordingly.” A native of Webster, N.Y., Gillespie, 30, now lives and trains in Long Island, where he describes the MMA scene as “prevalent beyond belief.” In his last fight in April, a homecoming of sorts at KeyBank Arena in Buffalo, Gillespie scored a first-round knockout against Andrew Holbrook in their matchup as part of UFC 210. The victory was notable for two reasons. First, Gillespie dropped Holbrook with a lefthook, using his weak hand to hurt Holbrook and following witha series of punchesthat led toa stoppage 21 seconds later. Second, it came in front of a raucous cheering section that caused Gillespie to departfrom his customary “a win is a win” approach. “I would have to say that one meant more,” Gillespie said. “I had family there, guys I wrestled with in high

school and college. Coach (Tim) Flynn was there, (athletic director) Bruce Baumgartner, the president of the university. I’m down there shaking everyone’s hands in the hallway afterward. It was pretty cool.” Gillespie expects similar support in Pittsburgh, with plenty of past and present Edinboro wrestlers living in or near the city and his Edinboro fan base a manageable drive away. “(Former Edinboro NCAA champ) Jarrod King already texted me and said he’s got tickets in the second row,” Gillespie said. “I said, ‘You’d better get yourself down to the first row, because I’m gonna be slapping your hand after I win.’ “ Winning will require Gillespie to overcome a five-inch height disadvantage against the 6-foot 2-inch Gonzalez, one of the tallest lightweights in UFC history. For most of his MMA career, Gillespie has capitalized on his wrestling background to dominate opponents on the ground. But he was able to stand and strike with Holbrook, suggesting he could have success with multiple approaches against Gonzalez, who has seven wins by submission. Gillespie said when he decided to enter the MMA scene he knew he faced the

same challenge most ex-wrestlers do, a long learning curve in developing a standup game. “Without a doubt that’s been the hardest thing, and the thing I concentrate on most in my training,” he said. “I don’t neglect my wrestling by any means, but I’m the least comfortable with the standup. That’s the thing I really need to polish.” He knows that’s what it will take to eventually move into the top 10 in the lightweight class, where Conor McGregor is the reigning champ and perhaps UFC’s most marketable name in the wake of his recent boxing match against Floyd Mayweather. But Gillespie doesn’t waste time on selfdoubt. Never has. The wrestler who virtually came from nowhere to stun a sport by winning an NCAA wrestling title, who bottomed out seven years ago during a struggle with alcohol beforeemerging from rehab clean, sober and freshly focused on becoming a fighter ... . That guy has never been an underdog for long.

FISHON! No doubt now, the fall steelhead run is here. But for lack of rain, the creeks might be loaded with steelhead. Creeks flows are very low. Regardless, steelhead are moving into, and out from, the lower pools of Raccoon Creek, Elk Creek, Walnut Creek, Four Mile Creek, Sixteen Mile Creek, Twenty Mile Creek, Chautauqua Creek and Canadaway Creek. Be there at the crack of dawn for fishing in the creeks. With such low flows, steelhead should continually increase in numbers at creek mouths since no rain is expected for at least several days. This should be an excellent time for casting from the beach, and I mean from the beach and not wading into the lake. If you want to chase steelhead away from the beach, just wade into the lake. This also is a fine time to cast from boats or troll near creek mouths. Boaters, please stay outside casting distance from beach anglers. Use single eggs and very light leaders for steelhead in the creeks. For casting or trolling, spoons and flashy stick baits are good. The standard since the coho years has been a two-fifths ounce silver and blue Little Cleo. Start fishing very early near the creek mouths. A fair number of steelhead still are being caught by walleye trollers in deep water, outside the Mountain on the East Side and at about 70 feet on the West Side. Troll spoons. A few brown trout have been caught at Walnut Creek, and probably at the foot of East Avenue. Wednesday while trolling for walleye out of North East Marina, we caught four nice perch. They were scattered from 66 feet to 107 feet. This may be a good clue as to why perch fishing has not been consistent this summer. It seems that perch have not gathered into large schools, and they have been doing a lot of moving. Perch have been hitting at 60 feet to 70 feet out of Dunkirk. Start fishing for perch out of North East in depths of 70 feet to 73

feet. Off Shades Beach try 58 feet to 60 feet. Out of Walnut Creek Access, angle west into 64 feet to 74 feet. Walleye ﬁshing continues to be very good. Walleye ﬁshing has been good in depths of 70 feet to 80 feet off Elk Creek. Angle west into depths of 68 feet to 78 feet out of Walnut Creek Access. Fish from 60 feet to 100 feet off Shades Beach. Try from 64 feet to 74 feet off the Hammermill stacks. Walleye are along the edge of the Mountain and out to depths of at least 108 feet at North East. Head straight out of Dunkirk into depths of 75 feet to 110 feet. Nightcrawler harnesses have accounted for most walleye. Copper, black/ purple and silver/purple have been effective. Fishing in Presque Isle Bay has been so-so. Perch have been hitting off and on at the North Pier and the South Pier. Crappie should be hitting with increasing frequency off the South Pier and in Marina Lake. Steelhead are at the foot of East Street. Some crappie, bass and walleye are coming into boats at Eaton Reservoir. At Lake Pleasant, anglers

have been catching sunfish and trout. Fishing for bluegill and bass has been fair to good at Edinboro Lake. Things have been slow at Pymatuning Lake but not dead. Use the right tactics at the right time and walleye, perch and crappie may be the reward. Trout fishing in the special regulations section of the Allegheny River below the Kinzua Dam has been fair to good. Some very nice brown trout have been caught. Chautauqua Lake walleye fishing has been excellent. Some larger walleye have been caught. Muskie fishing has been very good at drop-offs in the northern basin. Fishing has been good for sunfish and largemouth bass.

Lifelock sign-ups jump tenfold Shortly before Equifax revealed last week that it had been hacked, Fran Rosch got a call. The Symantec executive was vacationing in Maine, visiting his parents, when an Equifax representative telephoned to say sensitive information about 143 millionAmericanshadbeen put at risk. Armed with information onlyahandfulofpeoplehad atthetime,Roschmobilized the rapid response team at LifeLock, the identitytheft protection service owned by Symantec. This included member services, legal counsel, product development, marketing, and public-relations staff, he said. Rosch knew the company would receive an onslaught ofcalls and signups in the coming days-far greaterthananythingithad experienced before.Andhe was right. "It was crazy," Rosch, the executive vice president and general manager of consumer business at Symantec, said in a phone interview on Tuesday. "It has been like an earthquake." Sincenewsofthebreach, LifeLock has seen six times itsusualwebtrafficand the company is enrolling 10 timesasmanynewcustomers every hour than before the attack was disclosed.

The quest for clarity What happened when writer called Equifax for information By Brian Fung The Washington Post

Since the public first learned of the Equifax incident, consumers have reported difficulties getting help on the company's phone lines. We decided to try our hand at calling Equifax ourselves. 12:31 p.m. We began by dialing up 866-447-7559, the dedicated call center listed on equifaxsecurity2017.com. The person we spoke to wasn't that helpful. It turns out that the hotline handles general questions only. 12:32 p.m.

We asked the agent whether anyone could help me determine whether my personal information was affected. He responded by giving us a second phone number to call: 866-640-2273. This is the number for Equifax's customer care center.

12:49 p.m.

The answer came in the form of a third phone number, this one for Equifax's identity-theft line: 1-800-525-6285. By dialing that number, we were told, I could set up a 90-day fraud alert that would force creditors to call me —at a number of my choosing — before agreeing to open any new accounts in my name.

12:39 p.m.

We spent the next few minutes on hold. While we relaxed and listened to sexy saxophone music, we were advertised Equifax products every so often. 12:45 p.m.

But the agent who took our call there said he couldn't tell us if my information had been compromised, either. Best to call — you guessed it —the dedicated hotline we'd just come from. Eager to jump off this telephone merry-go-round, we asked for anything the agent could do for me —right now. We got put on hold.

12:59 p.m.

We dialed that number. The entire duration of the call was made up of an automated system that seemed overly sensitive even to the slightest background noise. About a minute in, we accidentally made some

noise that interrupted the recorded voice and sent us down a rabbit hole. This kept happening a few times, until we figured out that even laughing about it was enough to set it off. 1:04 p.m.

One of the menu options appeared to work, but then it led to a constant ringing and a dropped call. We tried the 1-800-525-6285 number again. 1:06 p.m.

We finally got to a point where the system asked for our information in order to set up a 90-day alert. I provided my Social Security number, two phone numbers where I can be reached for

verification, and a "please hold while we process your request" message. 1:09 p.m.

The system informed us that we successfully set up a 90-day alert, but even now, we're still not sure if it was actually processed. 1:17 p.m.

My eyes were just about to glaze over, listening to my rights, when a slight noise in the background cut off the recorded voice. "Please hold while I connect you to an agent," a voice said, even though I hadn't asked for one. Thirty seconds of ringing later, the call simply led to a busy tone — before finally going dead.

cannot carry over is most likely a contractual issue since you belong to a union. So you need to consult your contract or a union representative. Paid time off, like premium pay for working holidays, isn’t mandated. Bear in mind that it’s not uncommon for companies’ handbooks to state that once employees leave for whatever reason, they forfeit all unused paid time off. You need to find out what your union contract or the university’s handbook says about that.

Fall full of activities Online extra

Fall is right around the corner in Erie. We’re eager to welcome the season of crisp air, scarves and pumpkinscented everything. Even though summer is dwindling quickly, there are still plenty of things to do in the Erie area before the first snow falls (and we can’t guarantee that won’t happen soon). Here’s a sampling of autumn-themed activities, events and things you can do in the Erie area during the months of September and October: 1. Learn Erie ghost stories and legends. “Erie Cemetery Lady” Caroline Reichel shares the hidden history and mysteries found among the gravestones at Erie Cemetery during her guided walking tours. She’ll offer tours Sept. 24 at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. The theme of the September tour is “The World of Work,” focusing on career paths chosen by some Erie residents. Reichel also offers Ghosts and Legends Walking Tours in October. Tours will be Oct. 22 and 29 at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Tours last between 60 and 90 minutes. They start from the cemetery’s main gate, 2116 Chestnut St. Fees are $10 for adults, $8 for children 12 and younger. To reserve a spot on the tour, arrive 30 minutes before the tour, call Reichel at 868-4423 or email cmtryldy@ gmail.com.

emember the hope that the new Erie Insurance Arena would bring bigger concerts to town, more of the kind that typically skipped Erie on the way to Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo?

You might recall that we got some serious action shortly after the arena opened in October 2013 with $47 million in improvement, including about 1,500 more seats. The new arena is first class in every way and represented a muchneeded makeover from the former Tullio Arena, which opened in 1983. In the first five months, Rascal Flatts, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Elton John, Zac Brown Band and Darius

Rucker took the stage. All but Rucker’s show sold out. There have been some other big-name shows since then, including KISS, and several on the country spectrum. Superstars Jason Aldean and Thomas Rhett come to mind, and country legends Alan Jackson and Lee Ann Womack will perform at the arena Sept. 23. I’m told that ticket sales for that show are strong. Promoter Stu Green, president of Binghamton, New York-area based

Magic City Productions, which is bringing that show to town, said he’s hoping for a sellout. (Quickie trivia: Green brought the first concert, the Beach Boys, to the former Tullio Arena.) The arena is primarily home to the Erie Otters and Erie BayHawks. The arena improvements helped to keep those teams here, and were supposed to improve our chances of landing bigger and better touring See GUERRIERO, D3

Negar’s role in ‘Assassin’ both beauty and beast

only as The Ghost (Taylor Kitsch). Negar’s character proves that a female in a spy story can be both beautiful and deadly. “American Assassin” director Michael Cuesta saw her beauty as just part of everything Negar brought to the role but also knew she would be able to handle big action scenes. The team was willing to give Negar the biggest role of her career because as executive producer Nick Wechsler explains, Negar wowed everyone in her audition with the honesty she brought to the role. “The camera just loves her and we saw behind her beauty a mix of guts

and truthfulness,” Wechsler said. Negar was happy she was finally being offered a part that would allow her to show all of her skills. “I’ve had so many things that I wanted to be a part of but you sort of get typecast into being the eye candy or the pretty girl in the bar. Starting out with my career, that was something I really had to fight for. I had a lot more to offer,” Negar said. “I believe you have to work hard to prove yourself in any field where you want to succeed. I did have to work hard to prove myself so I didn’t just get judged by the cover. “That’s what I loved about this script. She’s

this strong woman in this male-dominated world and she is playing by the same rules as the men are. She’s just as tough. I love that equality. She’s a team player alongside the other agents. She gets down and dirty. That’s very empowering.” Negar’s never let anything stand in her way since she was a child performer playing piano and guitar in recitals. Her first film role came in 2010 with the film “Lost Journey” and since then she’s appeared in “Alphas,” “Covert Affairs,” “Hemlock Grove” and “The Art of More.” All of those roles have helped her build the career she wants but none were as complex and challenging as Annika. “There are a lot of layers to her — definitely,” Negar said. “That makes the character so much more real. I feel like everyone has secrets. Everyone has back stories. Everyone has so many things you don’t know and there is so much more than you see on the outside. “There is a complexity to the entire film and I love that because it’s not just one bad guy and one

is set in a town named Derry, Maine, where children start disappearing one by one. A group of bullied kids band together to kill it — an evil clown named Pennywise, who has left a trail of murder and violence stretching back centuries. The reboot, which only covers part of King’s original tale, has some creepy frights, but the real draw is the capable cast of young actors that adds a heartfelt touch to the story. Rated: R. “ALL SAINTS”: Based on a true story of a salesmanturned-pastor, Michael Spurlock (John Corbett) is sent to shutter the small, dozen-member All Saints Church and sell the valuable real estate. But when refugees from Burma make their way to the community and help to revitalize the land into a working farm for the church, Spurlock must decide whether to do his job or risk everything to support his new neighbors. Rated: PG-13. “ANNABELLE: CREATION”: In this new chapter in “The Conjuring” universe, a doll maker and his wife, who lost a daughter several years before, welcome a nun and several girls into their home after

an orphanage closes. Annabelle, a possessed creation of the doll maker, soon targets the weary guests. The director has managed to create a prologue worthy of the “Conjuring” franchise. Rated: R. “THE DARK TOWER”: Based on the sci-fi series by Stephen King, Roland Deschain (Idris Elba), the last Gunslinger, makes his way across the barren wasteland of a dying world in pursuit of the Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey), who’s set on destroying a tower that holds the universe together. Those unfamiliar with the texts might not grasp the significance that gets oversimplified — at least in this installment. Rated: PG-13. “THE EMOJI MOVIE”: Emojis live inside the messaging app Textopolis. Each emoji has only one expression except for Gene, who has lots. But he’d rather be “normal” like the others, and seeks help from his friend Hi-5 and Jailbreak. They go on an adventure through other apps on the phone in search of Code, but find nothing but trouble along the way. No surprises, no heart, no imagination. Frowny face. Rated: PG.

“THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD”: The world’s top bodyguard (Ryan Reynolds) is assigned to protect a hit man (Samuel L. Jackson) called to testify at the International Court of Justice. The two must put their differences aside and work together for an outrageous 24 hours to get to the trial on time. Count on high-speed car chases, boat escapades and a merciless Eastern European dictator (Gary Oldman). Rated: R. “LEAP!”: Young orphan Félicie (voiced by Elle Fanning) wants nothing more than to become a ballerina, and decides to make her way from rural Brittany to glittering Paris in pursuit of her dreams. Félicie is admitted into a prestigious and challenging opera ballet school, where she is supported by her friend and aspiring inventor Victor (voiced by Dane DeHaan) and mentor Odette (voiced by Carly Rae Jepsen). The mix of pop songs helps hold audiences’ attention. Rated: PG. “WIND RIVER”: In a chilling thriller, a rookie FBI agent (Elizabeth Olsen) teams with a veteran game tracker (Jeremy Renner) with deep

By Rick Bentley Tribune News Service

LOS ANGELES — Shiva Negar is well aware that generally when women are cast in spy stories, they are there more for their looks and less as part of the story or action. In her words, they are usually “eye candy.” The actress, who was born in Iran and raised in Canada and Turkey, easily could have played such a role in “American Assassin” had the character been written that way. But, the film based on the cloak-and-dagger novel by Vince Flynn calls for a lot more. “The reason I wanted to be such a part of the project so badly is because it wasn’t a cliche, a typical story,” Negar said. “American Assassin” follows the recruitment and training of Mitch Rapp (Dylan O’Brien) by a supersecret wing of the CIA. Rapp has a great dislike for authority and an even deeper hatred of terrorists. He’s teamed with Annika (Negar), a CIA agent who has been undercover for a half decade, to go on a trek around the world trying to stop an opponent known

protagonist. There are a lot of gray areas.” Those gray areas engulf all the characters. Her Annika is a particular puzzle as information about her is delivered in such a way that everything about her is questionable. The real story of her character is never clear until the end. Negar’s role in “American Assassin” is one of the most physically challenging of her career. She started training daily with the stunt team, working on her combat skills, weeks before the filming started. She laughs and said that the preparation was so intense she was able to skip her own workout routine during that time. “I need that kind of training because basic kickboxing classes are not going to cut it when you are doing what we were doing. There was also weapon training with exNavy SEALs,” Negar said. “After all of that training, we started getting into choreographing the fight scenes and putting in what you have learned into those scenes. “It was a good exhaustion at the end of the day.”

community ties and a haunted past to investigate the murder of a local girl that occurred on a Native American reservation. Writer/director Taylor Sheridan proves with this film that he’s a gifted moviemaker with a bright future. Rated: R. “WONDER WOMAN”: Warrior Princess Diana Prince leaves her secluded paradise home to help American pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) and allies fight a terrible threat in the throes of World War I. The first female-starring superhero blockbuster is a runaway hit. Rated: PG-13. “DESPICABLE ME 3”: Gru (voiced by Steve Carrell), a villain-turned-good guy who’s just been booted by the Anti-Villain League, is tempted to fall into old habits when his supposed long-lost twin brother, Dru (also voiced by Carrell), tries to recruit him for one last heist. And, yes, the Minions are back. Rated: PG.

concerts. But when hockey pucks aren’t flying and basketballs aren’t swooshing through hoops, we too often hear the sounds of silence — and unfortunately, I’m not referring to a Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel reunion show. There are so many reasons Erie doesn’t get shows that it’s a wonder we get any at all. Casey Wells, executive director of Erie Events, said conflicts with the hockey and basketball games are a key factor. At the Warner Theatre, which Erie Events also runs, a conflict with another event prevented us from getting Bonnie Raitt, Wells said. Darn. I saw Raitt open for James Taylor this summer in Pittsburgh, and I would have had my MasterCard out for an Erie concert faster than you could say, “Something to Talk About.” One of the biggest factors affecting Erie and other mid-tier markets is that so many artists tour in the summer and prefer to play

Take the kids to Pumpkintown at Mason Farms Market. Mason Farms Market, 839 Peninsula Drive, offers a fall attraction called Pumpkintown that features a haunted house, corn maze, pumpkin slide, obstacle course, pumpkin jump, fun house and more. The garden center transforms into a sea of mums, pumpkins, cornstalks and gourds. Admission is free but purchase of tickets is required for rides and jumps. Individual ride tickets are $1 each or purchase a ride-a-rama for $10. Food and beverages are available for purchase, including cider, caramel apples and more. Pumpkintown is open Mondays through Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. until Oct. 31. 12. Watch an Erie Otters game. Enjoy an Erie Otters home game at Erie Insurance Arena. The team plays its ﬁrst home opener Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. versus the Kitchener Rangers. The team is back

in amphitheaters and other outdoor venues. “Erie will support the ‘A’ acts, but the ‘A’ acts will go into bigger buildings and amps where they can sell 20,000 tickets rather than 7,000,” Well said. Erie doesn’t have a 20,000-capacity outdoor venue, but I’m thinking there are other outdoor options that might work — including UPMC Park, the home of the Erie SeaWolves. Some outdoor shows have been held there before. Lately? Not so much. Sometimes, Erie loses out on a potential show because the artist gets booked for a TV or movie gig. “I lost a show because they played Jimmy Fallon the night they (would have been) in Erie,” said Wells, who declined to name that artist. Many artists and facilities also are tied to protective “radius clauses,” which prohibit acts from playing another city within a certain distance. That radius can be 100 miles or even 150 miles. I’d argue that a show that would do well in say, Cleveland, would still sell a lot of tickets in Erie. Wells said radius clauses remain an issue,

Edinboro University’s homecoming will be Oct. 13-14 and offer a golf outing, pep rally, kilted mile, parade, festival, community lunch, kids zone, and of course, the football game Saturday. Gannon University’s homecoming is Oct. 6-8 and festivities include a parade, luncheon, tours and the football game on Saturday. Mercyhurst University’s homecoming falls Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 and includes a packed scheduled of events — a bonﬁre, alumni golf outing, tailgate, campus tours, brunch and more. 14. Take your little monster to ZooBoo. ZooBoo, for children 12 and younger, runs Oct. 13-30, 6-9 p.m., at the Erie Zoo, 423 W. 38th St. Cost is $5 for members, $6 for nonmembers and free for children 2 and younger. Call 864-4091 for more information.

but strong ticket sales are what brings more concerts to Erie. “And we’ve had some shows that haven’t done well and that hurts,” he said. So it’s important that a lot of fans show up for Alan Jackson, as well as the Pat Benatar/ Neil Giraldo concert booked for the Warner on Wednesday night. Promoters have long told Wells that the Erie market isn’t as strong as some others. And that’s no slam on Erie, he said. There are fewer people in Erie County, compared to some bigger markets, and we only have so much money for discretionary spending, he said. But as Wells mentioned, Erie will

15. Attend the Harvest Festival at Port Farms. The Harvest Festival at Port Farms, 2055 Stone Quarry Road, Waterford, offers hay wagon rides, an 8-acre corn maze, slide mountain, corn box, pedal carts, animal exhibits, mind bender mazes, trike track, straw fort and more Sept. 16 through Oct. 31.

Cost is $3 for adults and $2 for ages 3-11; free for children 2 and younger. For more info, call 825-6403. 17. Or a pumpkin run. The Pump-kin run at Gannon University will be Sept. 30. It offers a Pump and Run 5K race. Participants, who are encouraged to dress in costume, can choose (not mandatory) to bench press a percentage of their body weight according to age and gender. Each repetition that is performed correctly with proper form will receive 30 seconds off the participant’s 5K time. Then, they’ll run a 5K on the streets of downtown Erie. The race will begin and end near the parking lot of the Carneval Athletic Pavilion. 18. Take a fall foliage railroad tour. Ride the Oil City and Titusville Railroad Oct. 1-22 through the Oil Creek Valley. Tours run every Wednesday through Sunday. They leave Perry Street Station in Titusville on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 11 a.m., and Saturdays and Sundays at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. It’s a three-hour round trip. First class tickets are sold out. Coach tickets are $20, $18 for seniors and $14 for ages 2-12. Children younger than 2 are free. Reservations strongly recommended. Call 814-676-1733.

support big-name acts. Wells noted that Trans-Siberian Orchestra will return for two shows on Nov. 16, and he expects those to do well since TSO didn’t play here last year. Disney on Ice returns Dec. 7-10, and what’s billed as “Big Church Night Out,” featuring Christian rockers, the Newsboys, plays the arena Nov. 12. Wells said he soon should be able to confirm some more shows in the winter and spring for the arena — a major comedy act and some more country shows. But no rock or pop shows are on the immediate horizon. I don’t expect to see

U2, Coldplay or the Rolling Stones. After all, you can’t always get what you want. But how about a Bruce Springsteen solo show without the E Street Band? Or maybe the Avett Brothers, the Black Keys, Beck, Ringo Starr or dozens of other artists who would seem to be a good fit for Erie?

Despite the obstacles facing Erie, I can only hope. It’s either that, or head out of town again to see my favorite artists. John Guerriero can be reached at johnguerrierowrites@ gmail.com or on Twitter at twitter. com/JGuerriero814.

PEOPLE, ETC. DEAR ABBY

Husband’s touching embarrasses wife

Jeanne Phillips Dear Abby: My husband cannot be around a female without putting his hands on her shoulder or back. He “has” to touch. I’m not jealous, but embarrassed when I see women cringe. I keep hoping one of them will confront him about it. It’s getting worse the older he gets, especially with younger women. Do not suggest talking to him. He is never wrong and becomes livid when confronted. He reads your column, so please give me some advice. — Tired of Being Embarrassed Dear Tired: I assume your husband does this only with unaccompanied young females, because if he did it with women who had an escort, their date or their husband would straighten him out. Because you can see the women are uncomfortable, talk privately with them and suggest they speak up and tell him not to do it again. Dear Abby: My divorced son remarried a short time ago. His new wife seems to have no boundaries and no filters. If anything comes up that displeases her, she becomes verbally aggressive and in your face. I have been on the receiving end several times, publicly. My son looks the other way, and if pressed, he supports her. How can I maintain a relationship with my son, whom I love, and not expose myself to this woman’s abuse?- Battered Mother-in-Law Dear Battered: You do not have to tolerate being verbally abused. Because your son’s wife “has no filters,” try to see him separately — perhaps for lunch dates — if possible. If he is so much under her control that he refuses, you may have to accept that she has managed to isolate him from family. Tell him you love him, and your heart and your home are always open to him. Then point out that you are not the only family member who feels this way, but for the sake of your mental health, you can no longer tolerate her abuse. Dear Abby: During a recent tour of Italy, I was asked my age by five different people in the group. My being polite — and evasive — didn’t deter them. Please inform your readers that some people find it offensive to be asked that question. — Ageless in Arkansas Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Franklin to perform at John’s AIDS gala NEW YORK — Aretha Franklin will sing in honor of Elton John before she retires later this year. John announced that the Queen of Soul will perform at his annual AIDS charity event on Nov. 7 at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. This year marks the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s 25th year. Former President Bill Clinton, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Sharon Stone will pay tribute to John’s work as a philanthropist and humanitarian. Franklin said this year that she plans to retire and is working on a new album. The 74-year-old said after retiring she will perform at “some select things.” Neil Patrick Harris will host John’s charity event, to also feature performances by Grammy and Tony winner Heather Headley and violinist Joshua Bell. Duggar family welcomes baby boy FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Reality TV star Josh Duggar has announced the birth of a baby boy a day after a judge halted his lawsuit over the release of information related to allegations he fondled his sisters as a child. A post on the family website says Mason Garrett Duggar

minds. That decision, though, means you can’t allow yourself to be governed by your “hurt, sad and ... angry” feelings — because you can’t have it both ways. You can’t hold it against your brother and not give him any say. I suggest you treat this as a strictly factual vs. emotional situation: (1) Pertussis is highly contagious and can be lethal to infants. (2) You need to protect your child. (3) Your brother is entitled to do what he thinks is right. (4) He’ll meet your baby in six months. (5) It’s a bummer but you love and respect each other and you will get past this. OK, No. 5 isn’t a fact unless you both make it so. But part of that will rest in your decision not to see this as your brother “choos(ing) a view like this one over the safety of my child.” He’s choosing not to be vaccinated, yes, but seeing that as a decision to harm your child is your choice. It’s a layer of interpretation — and provocation — that you don’t need to add. So. “I love you, I know you’re making your choice in good faith, I’m not going to try to change your mind, the little dude/dudette will be overjoyed to meet you when the doctor says it’s safe.”

Q: My doctor said I was a good candidate for an experimental injection of PRP for arthritis in my shoulder. What is your opinion? A: Because tendons, ligaments and cartilage have limited blood flow, the body’s ability to repair them is limited. Autologous platelet-rich plasma aims to compensate for this. It’s prepared by removing about 30 to 60 cubic centimeters of blood from your arm. The blood is filtered through a process called plasmapheresis, which concentrates the platelets. Platelets are usually the first blood component to arrive at the site of an injury, bringing molecules that encourage healing. Thus, platelet injections have the potential to improve healing of an area with normally poor blood flow. Most studies of PRP for the shoulder have involved surgical repair of the joint, with surgeons using PRP to bolster a rotator cuff repair or to boost healing after shoulder replacement. A 2015 study combined data from eight studies comparing arthroscopic surgery for rotator cuff tendon tears with PRP and without PRP. The authors found no difference in the rates of tendons retearing after surgery, nor any significant MRI changes in the PRP group. Further, the studies did not find any difference in range of motion or pain with the use of PRP. A 2016 study showed benefit in the use of PRP in the first month after surgery, but no significant benefit after six months. Also, there are small studies that show PRP can help people who are not having shoulder surgery. Some studies have compared PRP to steroid injections in the shoulder for partial rotator cuff tears or for impingement syndrome and found that PRP was equivalent or even more helpful. A study from Iran found that while PRP did ease pain and improve mobility of the shoulder, it was not superior to physical therapy. As for arthritis of the shoulder, I haven’t found good studies to support the use of PRP. If you have impingement of the shoulder or a partial tear of your rotator cuff tendon, PRP in addition to physical therapy may have benefit.

became the fifth child of Josh and his wife, Anna, on Tuesday. On Monday, a federal judge stopped proceedings in Josh Duggar’s lawsuit filed against city officials in Springdale, Arkansas. Duggar starred on TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting” until it was pulled from the network in 2015 over revelations Duggar had molested four of his sisters and a baby sitter. Duggar’s parents said he had confessed to the fondling and apologized. The 29-year-old previously apologized for a pornography addiction and cheating on his wife. The Associated Press

Brother refuses to get vaccinated to protect baby

Dear Carolyn: My wife and I are expecting our first child, and under the advisement of our obstetrician and pediatrician, we’ve asked our parents and siblings who will be near the baby to get vaccinated against whooping cough (pertussis). My brother and I are quite close and I was expecting him to be around quite a bit in the baby’s early days. He let me know he and his wife don’t believe vaccines are safe. I have no intention of having this debate with my brother. After speaking to the pediatrician, it sounds like the safest course of action is to restrict his access until the baby is fully protected (6 months). I’m incredibly hurt, sad and more than a little angry that my brother would choose a view like this one over the safety of my child. Any advice? — J. Dear J.: I understand your decision not to debate this with your brother, given the low instance of such debates changing any

Couldn’t hurt to engrave ‘reward’ on phone case

Heloise Dear Heloise: I know we live in a tech-savvy world, but mobile phones can easily get lost or stolen. I went to an engraver and had a small plaque engraved with “Reward $50. Call ... “ and

my phone number at my office. I then glued it to my phone case. I could always replace the phone, but not the pictures, contacts and other info on my phone. — Rita H. in San Francisco Dear Rita: I like that idea. A reward is a nice way to say, “Thank you.” — Heloise Dear Heloise: Please let your readers know that if they are going to clean their computer screens, to use a damp — not wet — microfiber cloth that won’t scratch the surface. Do not spray a liquid onto

the screen, but rather onto the cloth. In between a damp wipe, clean dust off the screen with a chalkboard eraser. Use compressed air on the keyboard. —

day coming soon, I think about things I wish I had done. For those still young, here is a suggestion: Keep a diary. It will be an interesting read for your children and grandchildren. While you still have time, spend much of it with your loved ones. I wish I could

go back in time and tell certain people how much they meant to me. — Doug J., Watson, Louisiana Dear Heloise: I painted the discs around the key slots in my door locks with fingernail polish.

Daily Bridge/The straight path to the contract BY PHILLIP ALDER One of the least wellknown tracks on Pink Floyd’s “Ummagumma” album is “The Narrow Way.” On many bridge deals, there is a narrow way to make or break the contract. In today’s deal, how should South play in four hearts after West leads the diamond three? South opened with a modern weak two-bid — although, to be honest, nowadays many tournament trailblazers would open three hearts, given the favorable vulnerability. West did not have many points, but had too good a spade suit to pass. (Remember, a jump overcall of three spades would have been constructive, promising some 14-16 points — no weak jumps overanopposingpre-empt.)

North jumped to four hearts, unsure what to do if East bid four spades — but that never happened. East made a cautious and costly pass. Four spades looked almost certain to be made with the favorable position

of both minor suits, but in a 16-table duplicate, only one player was in four spades. North led the heart king. South overtook with the ace and shifted to his singleton diamond. Declarer took North’s jack with dummy’s ace, then fatally ran the spade jack. North won, cashed the club ace and diamond king, then gave partner a ruff for down two. (Yes, it should have been down three.) In four hearts, South has six potential losers: three spades, one diamond and two clubs. First, she guessed diamonds perfectly — and vitally — by playing dummy’s jack. East won and returned the diamond deuce. Declarer carefully discarded a club, won on the board and conceded a spade. Then she drew trumps and ruffed two spade losers to get home.

Your Astrograph/September 15 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Simplicity, moderation and discipline will be required if you want to reach your goal. Don’t give in to anyone using emotional manipulation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Don’t jump to conclusions. Be reasonable and have patience with those using emotional tactics to entice you into doing something you shouldn’t. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Your straightforward attitude will help you in business and when dealing with delicate matters at home or with friends. Express your feelings. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Giving in to an impulse will result in trouble. Don’t let your emotions lead you down a slippery slope. If you cannot afford something, don’t buy it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Show reluctance if someone tempts you with something that isn’t good for you. Take a conservative position and opt out if an offer is costly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Don’t overspend trying to compensate for something you did or didn’t do. The best way to deal with mistakes is to fix them without going into debt. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Listen to others, but don’t react in haste. There will be good and bad in the information you receive. Look for ways to salvage what you can. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Excessive behavior on the part of someone you are close to will cause friction. Impulsive actions will lead to a division that will result in regret.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Stick to what you know and the things that work best for you. Be specific and tactful when presenting what you have to offer and you’ll get good results. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Don’t take chances while traveling or when dealing with the powers that be. Make sure your personal papers are up to date and that you don’t take risks. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Enjoy the comfort of home with friends and family. Your hospitality will help you gain popularity, but don’t break the bank trying to please. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Instability at home or work will leave you feeling emotionally drained. Don’t let uncertainty drag you down. Work on finding new opportunities.
