Sex trafficking happens here by Kelly Stemcosky

kstemcosky@tiogapublishing.com

In the United States, one out of every five girls and one out of every 10 boys will be sexually victimized by the time they reach adulthood. This and other statistics were shared with more than 100 participants in Oasis of Hope’s Sex Trafficking in America presentation on

Oct. 24 in Wellsboro. Oasis of Hope is the first licensed safe house in Pennsylvania for minor victims of sex trafficking. The house is run in Tioga County by Oasis of Hope founder Debbie Colton. “Each year, thousands of kids are lured into sexual slavery. The average age of recruitment is 13. And

it’s happening here. Anywhere you have drugs, sex trafficking is happening,” Colton told the crowd of government officials, police officers, school officials, students and community members. She said a common misconception is that sex trafficking only takes place overseas, or only involves foreign women trafficked

to the United States. She defined domestic minor sex trafficking as “the commercial exploitation of American children within the U.S. borders. It is the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision or obtaining a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act where the

Local men compete in Las Vegas chess tournament by Natalie Kennedy

nkennedy@tiogapublishing.com

Two Wellsboro men traveled to Las Vegas to compete in a chess tournament and returned with a lot of chess time and a little prize money. Aaron Wilson and Steve Owlett, both of Wellsboro, traveled to Las Vegas, Nev., for the Millionaire Chess Open Oct. 9-13. Both are members of the Wellsboro Chess Club and paid the $1,000 entry fee for a chance to win some of the $1 million in prize money being awarded to the amateur players. Wilson, 21, is a junior majoring in security and risk analysis at Penn State University’s Main Campus. Owlett is an attorney. Both are members of the Wellsboro Chess Club, which is how they began playing in chess tournaments and what took them to Nevada. “We decided to just go for it because we had been

In tournament chess, players receive a rating from officials and competitors after playing 20 games. Owlett’s rating before the tournament was 987; Wilson’s was 1169. Both were in the Under

Tioga County property owners will see no increase in their 2015 county tax bill. The board of commissioners announced at its Oct. 27 meeting that, for the fifth year in a row, county taxes will remain the same at 6.75 mills. The 2015 general fund, department of human services, liquid fuels and retirement budgets will be on display starting Monday, Nov. 3. The general fund budget is at $17,775,154, about $64,000 less than 2014’s budget of $17,839,589. “Even through the revenues are falling short of previous years from the state indicators by our evaluation of the budget, because of the management practices and cooperation of all departments, the shortfall of revenues will be accommodated,” said Commissioner Erick Coolidge. No Act 13 impact fee monies are being used to balance the budget, said the board. The budgets will be on display in the commissioner’s hall from Nov. 3 to Dec. 8. Commissioners will vote on adopting the budgets at their Dec. 9 meeting. In a related matter, the Tioga County chief assessor certified the tax base for 2015 is valued at $1.8 billion. That’s about a $6 million increase over last year’s value, said Chief Assessor Deb Crawford. By the time the 2015 tax bills are mailed in February 2015, the value will increase $3-5 million due to new construction, she said.

Partners In Progress thanks Ward for providing work and wishes them a happy birthday. At the celebration were (back row, from right) Ward CEO Pete Guidi and Vice President Bill Williams; and (front row, second from left) PIP Executive Director Irene Morgan.

PIP thanks Ward, wishes happy 90th by Jason Przybycien jasonp@tiogapublishing.com

Partners In Progress says it couldn’t have opened its doors in 1997 without the support of Ward Manufacturing. PIP wished Ward a happy 90th birthday on Friday, Oct. 17. “They were our first customer,” said PIP Executive Director Irene Morgan. Meeting for cake at PIP in Mansfield, Ward Vice President of Human Resources Bill Williams said he was a member of the PIP board of directors starting in 1995 when PIP began assembling brass Wardflex couplings at the former Wundies warehouse in Liberty. In 1997, Wardflex moved to Lawrenceville and PIP rehabilitated the

building it currently occupies in Mansfield. Today, Ward Production Control/Shipping Supervisor Keith Andreason said PIP workers assemble the coupling which connects black pipe to corrugated stainless steel tubing. Casting Center Manager Paul Kurtz said PIP assembles over 20,000 coupling kits per week which are purchased by wholesalers and plumbers. “It’s for the delivery of fuel gas – natural gas and LP (liquid propane),” Kurtz said. Ward marked its 90th anniversary in September. “Our relationship has been for 20 of those 90 years, and we couldn’t have done that without them,” Morgan said.

The Commonwealth Financing Authority has approved a total of $2,086,132 for six energy, trail and water and sewer projects in the 25th Senatorial District, announced Senator Joe Scarnati (R-Jefferson) on Oct. 21. The projects approved for funding are a part of four different programs that are administered by the CFA, including the Flood Mitigation Program, Abandoned Mine Drainage Abatement & Treatment Program, Alternative &

Clean Energy Program and Greenways Trails & Recreation Program. Approved were the following projects in Tioga County: • Drew Remley Farm $546,382 grant (Alternative and Clean Energy Program) – to aid in the purchase and installation of an anaerobic digester at the farm in Liberty Township. The installation of this digester at the pig farm will produce biogas from manure and waste generated from food manufacturing facilities to gener-

ate electricity. The digester will produce 1,909,557 kWh of electricity annually. Excess electricity will be sold to the grid. The total cost of the project is $1,821,271. • Tioga County Concerned Citizens Committee - $450,000 grant (Abandoned Mine Drainage Abatement and Treatment Program) – for installation of a passive treatment system along Fall Brook located in Ward Township. This will allow for clean-up of the abandoned mine drainage discharge along Fall photo provided

The project goal is to improve water quality in two miles of Fall Brook and three miles of Tioga River, to a condition that will support stocked trout and encourage future abandoned mine drainage remediation in other tributaries of the Tioga River. The total project cost is $1,340,405. Funding for the projects comes from state bond proceeds as well as from money generated by the Marcellus Shale Impact Fee (Act 13 of 2012).

Laurels residents make most of summer

Residents of The Laurels Personal Care Home made the most of the summer sun with day trips to the Corning Museum of Glass, Tioga County Fair and Tioga Central Railroad. After taking in the sights in downtown Elmira, N.Y., residents and staff toured Corning Glass Museum exhibits and attended demonstrations where they learned how to blow glass, how different qualities of glass are derived, and how each quality is affected by force. Next up was the Tioga County Fair where attendees took part in a special Senior Citizen Day. On a Tioga Central Railroad ride, residents glimpsed a bald eagle near Ives Run. As summer wound down, residents explored locally with shopping trips, ice cream at The Frog Hut and lunch out at George’s. Over several trips, they’ve watched autumn arrive along the landscape and are busy planning their next set of fun, fall-themed activities.

VIBE owes borough for plaza electric panel by Jason Przybycien jasonp@tiogapublishing.com

At the Oct. 22 Blossburg Visions in Business and Entertainment meeting, Vice President Jill Nickerson said the borough invoiced VIBE for $10,000 for installing an electric panel at Riverside Plaza. VIBE has already raised $6,500 and expects a $1,900 contribution from the borough, leaving less than a $2,000 shortfall. Nickerson said VIBE is requesting additional donations for the electric panel, an ongoing community rebranding project and the upcoming Small Town Christmas festival on Nov. 29. She added that the electric panel provided reliable power to a record 66 vendors at the Oct. 12 Fall Festival. “The electric panel was awesome,” Nickerson said. “I thought the band sounded great,” Kelly Rossell added, referring to local

act The Radio Thieves. Nickerson projected an $876.64 profit from the Fall Festival, with $4,554 in expected revenue and $3,677.36 spent to date. Members said it was the first year the festival showed a profit and attributed it to additional fundraisers, sponsors and vendors. “All in all, the Fall Festival went great,” Nickerson said. Upcoming VIBE events include: • Small Town Christmas on Saturday, Nov. 29, starting with a new 5K and ending with a new tree lighting ceremony at the Blossburg Memorial Library. For more information, call 570-6382005 or visit blossburg.org/ smalltown. • Judging for the Light Up the Holidays outdoor decorating contest is Dec. 17 following a potluck dinner meeting at the Kiwanis Building at 6 p.m.

Charges pending in car, train crash by Jason Przybycien jasonp@tiogapublishing.com

Wellsboro Police Chief Jim Bodine says charges are pending against a woman whose car drove into a train engine Friday, Oct. 24. Police are awaiting the results of a blood test.

The crash occurred in the northbound lane at Fellows Avenue as the train was crossing both lanes of Charleston Street, Wellsboro. A northbound Dodge Stratus and a freight train with five cars attached collided around 10:30 a.m. Assistant Fire Chief Bob McCarthy said the

Dodge driver was transported to Soldiers + Sailors Memorial Hospital for minor injuries. Wellsboro Borough Police, Wellsboro Ambulance and Wellsboro Fire Police assisted on scene. No further information was available at press time.

Woodland Park meeting is Wednesday, Nov. 5

Troiano visits MU photo provided/Mansfield University

On Oct. 21, Nick Troiano, independent candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from PA-10, spoke to a class at Mansfield University about the importance of civic engagement.

The public meeting about Wellsboro’s Woodland Park is this Wednesday, Nov. 5, from 6:30-8 p.m. at the Grand Community Room at the Deane Center at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro. YSM Landscape Architects of York will present the pre-final design plan for the park. Ann Yost of YSM said, “The steering committee wants the public to respond to the pre-final design and voice their opinions. Until they do, nothing is final.” Serving on the Woodland

Park Master Plan Steering Committee are the nine members of the Wellsboro Parks and Recreation Executive Committee, Borough Council President Joan Hart, Borough Manager Dan Strausser, and Parks and Recreation Director Pete Herres. The last time a master site plan was done for the park was in the 1970s. The purpose of the new site plan is to look at the goals for the development of the park over the next 20 to 25 years, including the

type of facilities to be built there and where they would be placed. Following the Nov. 5 public meeting, YSM Landscape Architects will provide a final master design plan to serve as a blueprint for future recreation and conservation improvements in Woodland Park. Included in the pre-final design as an option is a pool complex. Also in the pre-final design plan is an octagon picnic pavilion with a fireplace, existing and new earthen

and stone dust trails, the two existing picnic pavilions with step connections to the pavilion pads and vehicle drop-off areas, relocated barbecue pit, existing restrooms, horseshoe pits, a lawn area so families can bring and play games, creek enhancements (additional walls, ponding area) and a relocated age-segregated playground. Bryden Street, which cuts through the park, will be widened and include crosswalks and three center islands lined with trees.

Letters to the editor Lack of affordable housing — To the editor: I am writing this concerning the lack of affordable housing here in Tioga County. It seems to me that if the landlords would drop their prices for rents, that we would have affordable housing. Right now, it seems that the only ones who can afford the rents here are the gas well people and the pipelines. What about the people who have lived here all or most of their lives and work in the factories here? What are they, chopped liver? Most of our factories in this county don’t even pay $10 per hour. How is this person supposed to raise a family and have a roof over his head? For those who bring home $2,000 or less a month, rents of $800-$2,500 a month plus utilities is not affordable. They also still have to buy groceries, pay those utilities, clothe themselves and their families appropriately and keep a car on the road and filled with gas so they can get to work. If the rents stay this high, there will be people who have had families here for generations leaving because they can’t afford to live here. This also means that the factories that we have here will also be leaving, as there will be no one to work for $10 an hour or less. They will all have moved away where living is a bit cheaper. I see some of the same “for rent” adds in the paper weeks after weeks. Doesn’t it occur to these people that if they lowered their rent prices, that they would get them rented easier and they wouldn’t be sitting empty? They would get enough people looking at them that they would be able to pick and choose who they rented to. I feel that $500 a month for a three bedroom home is sufficient, $400 for a two bedroom and $300 for a one bedroom. Add $50 for each additional bedroom over three is reasonable. This is unfurnished of course. Not everyone needs or wants a place furnished for

them complete with linens, dishes and cleaning service. We just want a warm, decent, affordable place to call home. Juanita K. Graham Mansfield

A response to a letter — To the editor: Must be James Tutak thinks he can read my mind. I don’t belong to the NRA and I don’t allow others to think for me. God leads me in my thinking. I do belong to the Gun Owners of America. He asks in his letter, if I can point out my view. If he had read my letter, he would know. Again, it is U.N. Resolution 2117 number 11 which “calls for member states to support weapons collection and disarmament of all U.N. countries. “ Yes, the Constitution is supreme law of the U.S.A., but this regime in Washington has bypassed many times in the last few years and would again, if it was to their benefit. James Tutak accuses me of many things, but maybe he should look in the mirror. By the way, Sen. Casey Dem. voted for this U.N. Resolution 2117. GeorGe West Wellsboro

Less sarcasm needed— To the editor: Regarding Mr. James Tutak: I’ve been reading many of your editorials in the Wellsboro Gazette for quite sometime. Perhaps you are factually correct most of the time, but your approach is somewhat disturbing. I know some of the people you have referred to. They are respectful, good and decent people, served our country and mean well. Please understand that not everyone is politically correct all the time. Also, a little less sarcasm would be very much appreciated. Oh, one more thing, I vote. Thank you and have a nice day. raymond Good Wellsboro

Municipal gun ordinance challenge legislation clears legislature

“I

t’ll kill the bill” was the motto of a number of members of the House Rules Committee Monday afternoon as several attempts to challenge or amend House Bill 80 - which would have required additional Senate action and killed the bill failed in committee. The bill as amended in the Senate and eventually passed out of the House Rules Committee would, among other things, allow membership organizations to have standing to sue local governments over gun control ordinances when one of their members has been aggrieved. The first attempt to challenge the legislation came from Rep. Cherelle Parker (D-Philadelphia), who argued the bill violates the single subject requirement of Article 3, Section 3 of the Pennsylvania Constitution. “When this bill was originally introduced it was to address the issue of theft of scrap metal and it came back to us dealing with the issue of firearms,” said Rep. Parker. Tom Dymek, counsel and executive director of the House Judiciary Committee, gave the rationale for why supporters of the legislation believe it is constitutional and not in violation of the single subject requirement. “Each of the provisions in House Bill 80 as amended all relate to crimes and regulations which affect the ability to own a firearm,” he said. “House Bill 80 includes two offenses which would preclude the purchase or possession of firearms since they are graded as misdemeanors of the first degree or higher which are disabling offenses under federal law.” The second attempt to kill the bill came in the form of a number of amendments offered

The Keystone Research Center and Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center released a report on higher education funding Friday, Oct. 24. The report titled “A Must-Have for Pennsylvania Part Two: Investment in Higher Education for Growth and Opportunity,” was aimed at contrasting

the economic payoff from higher education investment with Pennsylvania’s place among states for such investment and for share of adults with education beyond high school. Steve Herzenberg, one of the co-authors of the report, noted there have been school funding cuts since 2011, but larger cuts have been made to higher education than K-12 education since the 2010 budget. He explained the report focused on the state-owned universities and 14 community colleges. Herzenberg noted the report states that higher education is an investment that pays dividends to those who engage in higher education, adding to increased GDP and personal income. He added education is indirectly associated with all of the activity areas of growth in

and an easing of regulation (P.A. House Bill 1565) so that landowners and developers are not “prevented from using their property as they wish.” Evidently not all of us live downstream. Out in California, particularly the Central Valley, the war over water is brewing. California and the west is no stranger to drought. Part of the problem is, obviously, a lack of rain, which may or may not be attributed to climate change, but you could also scratch your head a little bit over the wisdom of large-scale monocropping and ranching with surface water that has to come from somewhere else. The indigenous peoples knew something about living in less-than-lush climates but the folks in L.A. and places like that seem a little further removed from that sort of knowledge. Gotta keep the lawns and golf courses watered and

a ridgerunner’s View by Gayle Morrow the cars washed. Imagine the amount of water a place like Las Vegas needs, and doesn’t have, and you can see why there’s a lot of talk about recycling waste water into something potable. We can continue to be cavalier about water, about its cleanliness and availability, but it seems to me that is a kind of dodgy mind-set. We can argue, as they are in California, about whether endangered fish are getting the water that should go to walnut or tomato growers (and who can’t do without California toma-

toes in January?) but the problem remains: There is not enough water. In the meantime, we continue to be told that the millions of gallons of water needed for hydraulic fracturing is water well-spent, and that fracking chemicals are safe, even “food-grade.” So I guess the solution is to send all that frack fluid to California. * * * Gayle Morrow wears several different hats, depending on the day and the need, but mostly she just thinks too much. She has been sharing her opinions in this space off and on since 1988.

Pennsylvania. He confirmed those with a higher education in Pennsylvania have a higher earning capacity and lower unemployment rate. He stated the report found Pennsylvania is 48th in funding per capita, the quarter of the investment level of top-level funding states from mineral-rich areas using their resources to fund higher education. Herzenberg explained Pennsylvania does decently at both ends of the education spectrum, but is very low among states in the middle of the spectrum of those with more than a high school degree, but less than a graduate degree. “This needs to change,” Herzenberg argued, saying the reduction in funding for community colleges and higher education institutions needs to be reversed. * * * This column is prepared by the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association in partnership with the Pennsylvania Legislative Service.

Water water not everywhere

rash! The cats just spilled their biggest filled-tothe-brim water dish all over the floor. As I was swearing and soaking up the mess with old towels, I thought about that water and really how easy it was to fill up the dish again. No big deal. Until you can’t. In the realm of living things there’s not much that happens without water. You may have experienced temporary inconvenience when the power is out and your pump doesn’t work or you’re on a municipal system that’s shut down for maintenance, but how would you handle a long-term lack of water? Around here there are folks who face that problem every day, thanks to methane and/or other well contaminants, yet we have elected officials whose attitude toward water protection seems to favor land development

by Democrats on the committee. The amendments ranged from provisions closing the background check loophole for long guns sold at gun shows, providing for actual or dispositive relief to the party prevailing in a suit under the legislation, eliminating the Pennsylvania Instant Check System, providing for parking lot protections, and giving exceptions for Philadelphia and Lancaster and their previously adopted ordinances. Republican members noted some of the amendments offered to the bill would, on their own, win their support.

Roe, 34, her husband Colton Ira Roe, 37, and their three children, Kylee, 11, Brayden, 8, and Aubrey, 4, were not at home at the time of the fire. The Roes’ four dogs and four cats died in the blaze. According to State Police Fire Marshal Roger Williams Jr., the structure and its contents were a total loss. The residence was valued at $67,000 and its contents at $30,000. The origin of the fire at 502 Thornbottom Road is still unknown. The investigation, impeded by the severe damage, continues. Foul play is not suspected. Mel Stafford, a neighbor, saw smoke and flames coming from the left side of the Roe home. He said, “I found out later from the firefighters there was a pel-

let stove inside the home on that side that they thought may have been the cause of the fire. Stafford continued, “James Schwartz, another neighbor, had gotten there only minutes before I did and called 911. Both of us tried to get into the house because we didn’t know whether there was anyone home but we heard the dogs. There were no flames at the back door window so I found a shovel and tried to break the window to get in. We couldn’t break the windows. They were all tempered glass. Mr. Schwartz finally broke the hinges on the front door to get in but it was far too late by then because the house went up so fast. “It was about 15 minutes before the first fire department arrived. By the time they got the hoses hooked up, the house was totally engulfed in flames.” Responding to the scene were Nelson, Osceola, Knoxville and Middlebury fire departments.

Longtime Housing Authority board member resigns by Kelly Stemcosky

At the Oct. 27 meeting of the Tioga Bradford Housing Authority, long-time board member Jodi Thomas announced her resignation. Thomas is the executive director of Tioga County Head Start. She said due to the recent restructure of the organization, she’s limited in time she can commit to the authority. She’s served as a board member on the authority for 18 years, and has been chair person for at least 10. Thomas said she would continue to serve until the end of December.

Funds limit programs

At the board’s meeting, Executive Director Kelley Cevette announced that the waiting list for private rental vouchers, of the rental assistance program, is still closed. No new vouchers are being processed. “We’re still borrowing ahead to cover each month’s expenses,” she said. “We’re reducing the

Roe family benefit is this Saturday At 5 p.m. this Saturday, Nov. 1, a benefit is being held at the Valley Community Ambulance Association at 7125 Route 49 in Osceola for Breanne Roe and her family.

They need household goods, clothing - anything!” Vargeson said that do-

nations of any kind are also being taken for the Roe family at Stepping Stones Preschool weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For information, call 814-367-7536.

number of people participating. We have the ability for 213 vouchers, but only 160 participants. The next round of funding will be less because we’re utilizing less vouchers.” She also said the Department of Housing and Urban Development is looking at expanding the rental assistance program leases from one year to three years to reduce administrative costs.

Also at the meeting

At an executive session prior to the meeting, the board heard from two groups seeking to assist the authority in performing a cultural survey, developing a process for evaluating the executive director and updating bylaws. The authority passed a motion to hire the Curtis Group for the tasks, voting to initially spend no more than $17,000 on the services. There will be no November meeting of the authority, which will meet on Monday, Dec. 8, at the Troy VFW at noon.

Since only the top four players in each division advanced to Millionaire Monday to play for the top prize of $100,000, Wilson played three tiebreaker matches. “I played OK,” said Wilson. “In tie breakers, instead of long, drawn-out games they were 15-minute games on each side. I had some really good games there.” He won the first two and lost the third, putting him in fifth place and the return of his entry fee plus a little more. Owlett earned three points, the most in the Under 1000 division, and advanced to playing on Millionaire Monday. Although neither won the top money, Wilson enjoyed the experience.

The increase was awarded following a comparison of salaries for the same positions in other Sixth Class counties, said Coolidge. The change will move starting salaries from $12.25 to $14.25. The majority of department workers will be making slightly more than $14.25/hour with the increase, said Chief Clerk Derek Williams. In recent years, the county has seen a significant turnover of staff. Many human services staff members have left soon after the county paid for training. By increasing wages, the county hopes to improve retention and reduce training costs. The commissioners made a commitment three years ago to increase wages for this group of employees, said Coolidge. “What we really hope comes out is if we can and if it is affordable and available, we will address compensation,” he said.

Colton said, “Most of our clients were kidnapped by traffickers or pimps, and then sold to others. The same thing happening overseas is happening here. Some of these girls were started when they were 8 and 9 years old, used 20-30 times a day.” Familiar trafficking, explained Colton, is defined as a child being trafficked or sold for sex by a family member. She spoke of a “local” woman who would undress her toddler and invite men to her home to “do whatever they wanted with her,” in order to obtain money for drugs. “What I want each of you to do,” she told the crowd, “is in each of your fields, to be able to recognize a child who’s been trafficked, and know the resources to get them help.” According to Colton, the newly formed North Central Pennsylvania Human

2014 General Election Voter’s Guide edited by Jason Przybycien jasonp@tiogapublishing.com

The Gazette asked each of the candidates seeking Tioga County votes in the Tuesday, Nov. 4, General Election to summarize their campaign for this voter’s guide. Each candidate was asked to state his or her reason for running or the most important campaign issue in 100 words. Their responses, in ballot order, are edited only for length and style.

Pennsylvania Governor

Representative in U.S. Congress, 10th District Tom Marino

Republican, incumbent

(submitted by his campaign) “Tom, who is known and respected on both sides of the aisle as a fiscal conservative, has played an integral role in the fight to rein in out-of-control spending and eliminate burdensome regulations that are crippling our nation. “For the past four years, Tom has been focused on cutting government spending, promoting private-sector job creation, keeping taxes low, and creating a better tomorrow for the next generation. “Tom and his wife, Edie, have two children, Chloe, 19, and Victor, 15, and reside in Cogan Station, just outside Williamsport.”

Scott F. Brion Democrat

“Today in Washington every issue becomes a partisan battle, and citizens in small towns are the losers … We deserve a representative who works for us and we need a representative who views every issue from the perspective of how it affects rural Pennsylvania. “We need a leader who can apply common sense to find solutions to the most important issues that affect the people we know. I believe those issues are generally improving public education, taking care of the veterans who have taken care of us and providing security and dignity to our senior citizens.”

“I am running for re-election because I believe after the last four years of putting Pennsylvania’s economy back on track, we are within reach of uncharted prosperity in our commonwealth for generations to come. “We eliminated a $4.2 billion budget deficit and balanced four budgets without raising taxes and have added over 180,000 new private sector jobs. I am excited for the future that lies ahead for our children and grandchildren if we stay the course, and I’m asking for your support for four more years so we can continue building a stronger Pennsylvania.”

“Under Governor Corbett, Pennsylvania dropped from ninth to 50th in job creation. Schools are suffering from Governor Corbett’s $1 billion cuts to education, which resulted in massive layoffs, larger class sizes, and higher property taxes. There’s been no leadership or vision. “As governor, I will move Pennsylvania forward. Pennsylvania is the only major gas-producing state in the nation that doesn’t charge an extraction tax. I will change that to make gas companies pay so we can invest in our schools and continue to provide for infrastructure projects in localities impacted by drilling.”

“The most important issue in this race is fixing our broken political system and restoring real representation in Washington. “We will not be able to address any of the major issues we face, including our unsustainable federal budget and national debt, with continued partisan gridlock and special interest corruption. That is why I am running as an independent candidate and refusing to accept any special interest contributions to my campaign. That is also why I support ending partisan gerrymandering and reforming our system of campaign finance. “We, the people, need to reclaim our government on Nov. 4.”

“The most important issue is jobs. Overregulation, a complex tax-code, excessive energy costs and lack of a qualified and trained workforce limits job growth. “Employers have good paying positions they cannot fill. This ‘skills gap’ must be addressed. As Career & Technical Education Caucus cochair, I led a bipartisan effort in the House for the first successful increase in a decade for Career and Technical Education funding. As a member of the Education and the Workforce Committee, I played an active role in passage of the Workforce Opportunity and Innovation Act legislation that provides training for the unemployed and underemployed.”

“Congress is broken. Our current representatives have been bought by the corporate and special interests that fund their election campaigns. As a consequence, they say no to common sense policy, deliberately ignore the middle class, and willingly sacrifice the welfare of Americans for personal and political gain. “Our jobs, wallets, health, and freedom are at risk. I am running because we need to get Congress back to work for us. I am a negotiator by trade. If elected, I will work to end the blame game, put policy before politics, and get Congress to address the needs of everyday Americans.”

“I care deeply about serving the good citizens of my district. Our state has been undergoing many challenges both fiscally and culturally, and I will continue to champion our way of life by supporting a stronger economy, job creation, quality education and defending our Constitution, and principles of limited government. “I will uphold individual liberty, freedom, sanctity of life and the Second Amendment. We must continue to fight for lower taxes, better healthcare for all, and energy independence. With a servant’s heart, I will provide the experience, commitment, dedication, proven character and values that will be needed in the future.”

“Public education is a priority to Pennsylvania residents. Yet the public schools in our region have suffered drastic budget cuts over the past four years. “Our natural resources and wildlife are priorities. Yet Harrisburg has weakened regulations and dismantled enforcement. “Good jobs in a sustainable economy are a priority. Yet rather than invest in infrastructure, Harrisburg grants tax credits to multi-national corporations who take their profits out of state. “It seems no one is listening to us. That’s why I’m running for state representative: to listen to the people who live here and give them a voice in Harrisburg.”

20 Howard Hanna agents have new digs photo by JASON PRZYBYCIEN

Planning for Friday dinner photo provided

Barbara Williard (left) and Bev McKnight, co-chairs of the planning committee, prepare for a turkey dinner to benefit the Wellsboro United Methodist Church’s building fund. The dinner is planned for the Wellsboro First Friday celebration on Nov. 7, from 4:30-7 p.m. at the church. The cost of the meal is $8 for adults. The dinner is open to the public.

Howard “Hoddy” Hanna, grandson of the company founder, joined local Howard Hanna employees for the grand opening of their new location at 11564 U.S. Route 6, Wellsboro, on Tuesday, Oct. 21. Hanna (just left of sign) stood with Broker Tom Saveri (to his right) as Saveri cut the ribbon. The new office is more than twice the size of the last one, giving the 20 agents private offices, conference rooms, a second bathroom and more parking. Saveri thanked his wife Theodora (to his right) for supporting his devotion to the growing agency. Also shown are Howard Hanna agents, including members of the former Stevens Real Estate.

Hillenbrand’s ‘Unbroken’ is story of unimaginable ordeal

t took Laura Hillenbrand, author of “Seabiscuit,” seven years to piece together the unforgettable story of Louis Zamperini in “Unbroken.” From his memories of a troubled youth in Torrance, Calif., to being a POW and veteran of WWII, Louis fascinated Laura with his keen memory of an unbroken life. It was being an incorrigible imp that led Louis to start running with the guidance of his big brother Pete Zamperini. At 19, Louis would compete in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany. Upon his return to the United States, he was hungry to train and compete in Tokyo, Japan, for the 1940 Olympics, which later would be transferred to Finland. However, his dream would be put on hold as the world was in the grips of war. Louis Zamperini had been drafted. And so, Louis Zamperini would begin the race for his life when his plane crashed over the Pacific Ocean. He would spend 47 days lost at sea, to only be captured by the Japanese. My body was tense as I continued to turn each page and discover how one man’s determination kept him safe from the enemy outside and within the walls of war. “If I can take it, I can make it,” was the spirit that lived in Louis Zamperini. On Christmas Day, the film “Unbroken” will be released in theaters. Director

The group is exploring religious questions that gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and straight people have about God. New members are welcome. All participants are expected to be civil to one another. Call John at 570-205-4151 for information.

Scarnati supports legislature to help in manhunt

The Pennsylvania Senate and House of Representatives have unanimously approved legislation which will help provide the Pennsylvania State Police with additional help searching for Eric Frein, according to Senator Joe Scarnati (R-Jefferson). Eric Frein is wanted by authorities for the alleged murder of Pennsylvania State Police Corporal Bryon K. Dickson II, and the alleged attempted murder of PSP Trooper Alex Douglass in Pike County on September 12, 2014. Scarnati, who strongly supported Senate Bill 720, explained that the bill was amended to extend the powers of arrest for outof-state law enforcement personnel. This will allow state police from surrounding states to help with the search for Frein, provided the governor makes an emergency declaration. “Pennsylvanians expect and deserve the assurance that state government is doing all that we can to bring Eric Frein to justice,” Scarnati said. “This legislation is an important way that we are working together to provide law enforcement with all the tools and resources they need to ensure public safety.” Currently more than 20 states have some sort of state disaster assistance program, which is designed to fill the constantly increasing gap between private insurance and federal aid. Money from the program will be distributed through the municipality, borough or township that is impacted. The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency will be responsible for prioritizing projects and determining how the disaster funds are allocated. Senate Bill 720 has been sent to the governor for his signature.

This apartment building and hair salon at the corner of North Academy and Sherwood streets, Mansfield, was damaged by fire Friday night, Oct. 24.

Fire injures officer, leaves three homeless in Mansfield by Kelly Stemcosky kstemcosky@tiogapublishing.com

A fire in Mansfield destroyed a hair salon, displaced three people and injured a borough police officer. The building, which houses two apartments and Hair Dynamics Beauty Salon at 84 Sherwood Street, broke out into flames at around 9:45 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24. “At this point, we’re ruling it as accidental,” said Mansfield Hose Company Chief Jim Welch. “It was probably electrical in nature. It started on the ground floor in the laundry room of the rear apartment.” Responding to the scene first was Mansfield Borough Officer Steve Earp. Welch said Earp entered the building through the salon. “He noticed the fire while on patrol and entered the building to start the initial investigation. There was someone at home upstairs, Michelle Ed-

wards in the upstairs apartment. She heard the smoke detectors in the next apartment so she self-evacuated.” Officer Earp was treated at Soldiers + Sailors and made a full recovery from smoke inhalation as of Monday morning, said a Mansfield police officer. Kim Sampson and Carl Ayers occupy the back twostory apartment, and were not home at the time. Deanna Morgan owns the building and operates Hair Dynamics. She said on the business’s Facebook page that the shop has relocated to Studio Six at 7 East Wellsboro St., Mansfield. “If you have an appointment, please plan on coming at the scheduled time. To schedule an appointment, call our number as normal, 570-6622560 and leave a message. We appreciate your patience during this difficult time,” read Morgan’s post. On Monday, the Red Cross out of Williamsport announced it was assist-

ing the three residents who were displaced by the fire. They were provided with clothing and shelter. “They had renters’ insurance,” said Welch. “We try to stress to everyone the importance of that, because even though the owner has building insurance, that doesn’t cover a renters’ belongings.” At the scene, flames could be seen coming from the second story on the Sherwood Street side, as well as from the back of the building. The next day, most of the top story toward the back was burnt. Welch confirmed that there was no dog in the apartment at the time of the fire. Responding to the scene were Mansfield, Blossburg, Wellsboro, Liberty, Lawrenceville, Troy, Middlebury and Tioga fire departments, with Galeton and Clymer standing by in Wellsboro. Welch said the scene was cleared at 2:30 a.m.

Shawn Michael Shafer, 19, Troy, having pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, is sentenced to 18-48 months in the state correctional system with 113 days credit for time served.

On May 5, the state police narcotics unit out of Montoursville found several items used to make methamphetamine at Ciarlo’s home on Catlin Hollow Road, Charleston Township. In the second case, Ciarlo pleaded guilty to theft by unlawful taking. On Jan. 23, Wellsboro police were called to Ciarlo’s former rental home on Pearl Street for a possible burglary. Stolen was a 47-inch Phillips flat screen TV, which was to be sold by the landlord as part of an eviction process. During the methamphemtamine-related case May, the TV was recovered in Ciarlo’s possession.

State jail for drugs

Keith Richard Springer, 31, address not available, having pleaded guilty to possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance,

is sentenced to 24 months in the state correctional system. On May 2, a state police source reported several individuals were planning a trip to WalMart to get supplies to make methamphetamine.

ARD

The following individuals are placed on the Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition Program for various charges and are to pay all court costs: Michael Yawger, 26, Osceola, 18 months probation on charges of possession of a controlled substance and theft by unlawful taking.

Therapist makes music, history at Capitol Board certified music therapist Julie Schlosser from Mansfield, along with members of the Pennsylvania Task Force for Occupational Regulation, Music Therapy, board-certified music therapists and students made music at the State Capitol Oct 6. They were celebrating to celebrate the passage of HR 1045 and SR 472, declaring October as Music Therapy Month and recognizing music therapy as a “valid therapeutic service” in Pennsylvania. Over 50 music therapists from all over Pennsylvania were at the Capitol on Tuesday, October 6th meeting with legislators and celebrating the passing of the two resolutions with a drum circle in the East Wing Rotunda open to the public. The resolutions in the House and Senate mark a major milestone for the music therapy profession in Pennsylvania. Primary sponsors of the resolutions were Senator Folmer and Representative Deasy and each resolution received extensive, bipartisan support with over 60 legislators providing cosponsorship. Music therapists and music therapy students received tremendous encouragement as they met with legislators throughout the day to advocate for music therapy. “The passing of the two resolutions is a major breakthrough for music therapy and was in the works for over seven years” said Dr. Nicole Hahna, MT-BC, cochair of the PASTF, assistant professor of Music Therapy at Slippery Rock University. “The music therapy students attending today have witnessed a part of Pennsylvania music therapy history and gained valuable skills in advocating for increased client access to music therapy.” There are over 400 boardcertified music therapists serving approximately 41,000 Pennsylvanians each year in a wide variety of settings such as hospitals, schools, mental health facilities and senior living. “The profession of music therapy is over 70 years old,” stated Melanie Walborn, certified music therapist, co-chair of the PASTF and music therapy business owner in the Hershey/Harrisburg area. “Our next step as a task force is to seek state licensure in order to protect the citizens of Pennsylvania and increase access to quality music therapy services.”

The District IV volleyball playoffs got underway on Tuesday night, Oct. 28 with Williamson playing host to Towanda in the Class A division. The Lady Warriors came out strong in the first set securing a 25-16 victory over

Wednesday, October 29, 2014

Towanda, while the Lady Black Knights turned the tables to tie the night at one a piece, garnering the 25-15 win over Williamson. In set three, Towanda posted a 25-20 victory over Williamson, only to have the Lady Warriors light up the scoreboard once again in the fourth set, recording

a 25-19 win, sending the two teams into a final and fifth set. Towanda pulled ahead in the 15-10 win, advancing to the championship final with Troy (15-1) on Thursday, Oct. 30, back at Williamson, set for 7:30 p.m., following the Class AA championship.

Foster and Parks earn All-ECAC Honors at ECAC Cross Country Championship Sophomores Destiny Foster and Destiny Parks both earned All-East honors in leading the Mansfield University womens’ cross country team to a fourth place finish at the ECAC Division II Cross Country Championship at Mansfield’s Lambs Creek Course Sunday morning, Oct. 26. Mansfield finished seventh in the men’s competition. “Awesome, just awesome,” said Mountaineer head coach Mike Rohl about the womens’ performance. “Just a great finish as a team and for both Destinys. We finished ahead of East Stroudsburg and West Chester who were both ranked higher than us going into the meet and that’s something we were looking to accomplish.” Foster posted a time of 22:36.4 on the 6K course to finish eight spots behind race winner Lauren Lehman (21:26.7) of Bloomsburg while Parks (23:01.1) edged out April Schlusser of Shippensburg to claim 15th place and the final All-East spot. A young Mansfield team, the top six finishers being underclassmen, also got solid performances from sophomore Allison McCurry (23:29.0) with a 23rd overall finish and freshman Kirsten Anderson (23:45.5) who placed 26th. Fellow freshman Sarah Morin (23:53.9) took 33rd. Sophomore Melanie Hilliard (24:35.7) and senior Susan Learn (24:51.5) rounded out the Mountaineer’s effort finishing 45th and 49th respectively. Bloomsburg won the team championship with 52 points followed by Shippensburg with 67 points and Seton Hill with 82 points. Mansfield was fourth with 106 points. In the mens’ competition, Jesse Jones finished 10th in individual scoring and 17th overall, turning in a time of 26:22.0 over the 8K course to pace the Mountaineer men to seventh-place finish. Sophomores Shakim Blackwell (27:23.3) and Ben Drexler (27:54.4) finished 37th and 45th overall in the 88 runner competition. Shippensburg dominated the men’s field, capturing the first eight finishes, to win the team title with 15 points. Sophomore Braden Bruning won the individual title with a time of 25:26.3. Mansfield will host the PSAC mens’ and womens’ Cross Country Championships at Lambs Creek on Nov. 8.

Weiskopff, Wilson advance to PIAA Championships by roBIN E. pALMEr

This year the qualifications might have changed between Class A and Class AA, but the determination for both North Penn-Mansfield’s Brittany Weiskopff and Logan Wilson did not. The temperatures and weather conditions didn’t make it easy for them, or anyone for that matter, but they kept their mind focused on one goal. That ultimate goal was to cross the finish line at the District IV cross country championships in one of the top spots and advance to the

“The hard part is really over,” said Brittany Weiskopff PIAA state championships, and that’s just what sophomore Brittany Weiskopff and senior Logan Wilson accomplished. Out of a field of more than 70 competitors in the Class A girls race, Weiskopff finished with a time of 22:16, securing eighth place overall, while Wilson finished with a 13th overall finish, at 22:32. “I knew I had to get out and

work my way towards staying in the top 10,” said Brittany. “It was cold and windy and I probably could have done better if the temperatures would have been better, but I did the best I could and I am happy with my time.” “I knew I had to keep Brittany in my sight,” said Logan. “I heard people calling out places but really didn’t have an idea if I was going to make it until I finished.” Both Brittany and Logan are no strangers to the PIAA course in Hershey, after competing with the

Wellsboro’s Sean Dooley finally capitalized off an assist from teammate Tanner Runyan in the second half (66:10), which allowed the Hornets 1-0 lead. Dawson Prough added a cushion to the Hornets lead midway through the second half (72:42), hitting the back of the net with an assist from teammate Josiah Hill. “The boys played great,” said coach John Shaffer. “They were really starting to hit their stride. “We dominated large chunks of the game and major credit goes to the South goalie, Sage Shaffer, who kept it 0-0 for most of the game. “It was going to take something special to unlock the South defense and Sean (Dooley) sacrificed his body for a great header off Tanner’s cross and then Dawson cut inside and hit the upper 90 with a blast. “Our defense did a great job containing some very talented South players and

When you add them up, you actually need more. You need your substitutes just as much, your added depth to any team. But I must say in football, your quarterback stands out above them all. All eyes seem to be on him. You still need your receivers, your runningbacks, fullbacks, tight ends, guards, centers, you name it, right down to your placekicker, you definitely need each of them, but without a quarterback, you don’t have a game. A quarterback is the offensive leader of the team who literally is responsible for the success or failure of the night. They need arm strength, mobility, quick thinking and arm throwing motion. This Friday night, Oct. 31, you will see two top quarterbacks of the NTL come together in the annual rivalry showdown between North Penn-Mansfield and Wellsboro. The Morton Jones trophy is back up for grabs. The annual trophy is awarded to the winner of the matchup between the Wellsboro and North Penn-Mansfield squads each year. Wellsboro has garnered the trophy the past two seasons, while North PennMansfield’s last win was in 2011. They had garnered the trophy six of the last seven seasons prior to 2011. Wellsboro has posted 33 season victories to North Penn-Mansfield’s 18. This week will match up senior quarterbacks Michael Pietropola from Wellsboro and Bo Burleigh of North Penn-Mansfield. Both are standouts in their class. Pietropola has garnered 18 touchdowns this season while completing 87 passes out of 149 attempts for 1,650 yards in the air. Burleigh has recorded 24 touchdowns this year with 105 completions of 174 attempts for 1,881 yards in the air. Both star players have broken records, set milestones and are ready for action. Both have to be on their toes ready to make the right decision at the split

The varsity soccer team began four years ago when they combined with Mansfield in raising money for breast cancer awareness during the soccer season. This season, his middle school team decided they wanted to participate in raising awareness and began their own fundraiser. With the help of Kim’s Kreations of Myerstown, Tshirts were donated by Cole and Burd Ford of Mansfield, along with a starter donation of $500 from the Arnot Sportsmens’ Club. The North Penn-Liberty middle school soccer program collected donations at each of their home volleyball and soccer games and plan to donate their final collection to the American Cancer Society at the end of October.

With more than 31 years of coaching behind him, Liberty middle school soccer coach, Barry “Babe” Mase, captured his 100th career victory on Tuesday, Oct. 7, with a 6-0 shutout over the Sayre Redskins. Coach Mase began his coaching at Liberty with the junior high basketball team and moved on to coach volleyball, tennis and soccer, which is his favorite. He has coached middle school, junior varsity and at the varsity levels, all at Liberty. Mase has also coached AYSO soccer and garnered more than a 150-50 record overall. “I like teaching kids,” said Mase. “It doesn’t matter what sport it is, I just like reaching out to the kids. “If the varsity programs don’t have the feeder programs before them, it hurts them. You need to be able to build your teams from a

young age. “I like to be able to teach them how to play and they return with the respect at such a young age during the middle school years. It’s not always about the coaching though, it’s about the kids that you have.” Mase sometimes has 30 kids on his teams. “And they all play,” he said. “They all deserve the chance to learn at this level and to play. That’s how you teach them and that’s how they learn the fundamentals. That’s how your programs grow.” The North Penn-Liberty Mountie middle school squad celebrated the 100th career win with their coach as they poured a 10-gallon bucket of water over their coach’s head. “I now know what it feels like to have that done,” Coach Mase said. “And if that is what makes my team happy, it makes me happy.” The Mounties finished

Hornets hang on for 28-21 win against Towanda by ED WEAVER

Panthers rebound with 36-15 victory over Rams by ED WEAVER

Following a last-second, 37-36 loss to Canton last week, North Penn-Mansfield kept their perfect NTL Division 1 record intact as they handed the Wyalusing Rams the loss. North Penn’s leading rusher Bryce Zaparzynski was out of the lineup, but Levi Christman stepped in to lead the Panthers in rushing and receiving yards on the night and scored three touchdowns. “We didn’t have Zaparzynski and we needed some kids to step up,” North Penn Coach Tom Dickinson said. “Levi was the man with a fumble return, an interception and three touchdowns. He had a big game for us.” Christman started the scoring as he recovered a fumble and ran it 27 yards to the end zone for the score. The Panthers’ ensuing two-point conversion attempt failed and they led 6-0 with 9:05 remaining in the opening frame. Five minutes later Christman found the end zone again, this time on a 22-yard run. Dayton Wood caught Bo Burleigh’s two-

point conversion pass to put the Panthers up 14-0. Wyalusing cut into the Panthers’ lead with 10:30 remaining in the first half as Luke Jennings found the end zone from 13 yards out. Werner Mendoza converted the extra point to make it 14-7 North Penn. Wyalusing was dealt a huge blow later in the quarter as Jennings would exit the game with an injury after tallying 78 yards on 18 carries. The junior has rushed for 1,664 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2014 including four 200 plus yard games and one 300 plus yard game. “His longest rush was 16 yards,” Dickinson said. “We limited him from making the big gains.” The teams traded possessions for the remainder of the second quarter before Burleigh connected with Wood on a five-yard touchdown pass with 51 seconds remaining. Brad Pequignot ran in the two-point conversion to lead 22-7 at the half. The game stayed 22-7 into the fourth until Christman caught a three-yard pass from Burleigh and

Luke Kelly caught the twopoint try from Burleigh to extend the Panthers’ lead to 30-7 with 9:45 remaining in the game. Wyalusing got the points back just a minute later when Ryan Kipp ran in from 24 yards. Justin Haley ran in the two-point conversion to make it 30-15 North Penn. The Panthers capped the scoring with 2:25 left in the fourth quarter as Kelly caught a 18-yard pass from Burleigh to give the Panthers the 36-15 win. Christman led the Panthers with 63 yards on the ground and 83 through the air. Burleigh finished 17-for-28 passing for 247 yards and three scores. Pequignot had 80 yards on three catches to go along with 43 yards on 11 rushes. Wood had four catches for 41 yards, Kelly had two catches for 25 yards, and Joel Whittaker had an 18 yard catch. This week the Panthers (8-1, 4-0 NTL Division 1) take to the road to do battle with the Wellsboro Green Hornets (7-2, 2-2 NTL Division 1) in the annual Morton F. Jones Trophy game.

Morton . . . continued from 1-C second and at the snap of the play. Neither one of them can take the chance of hanging their head if a decision they choose for a play in the game ends up the wrong one. In every game I have watched, every quarterback makes a mistake. Not every quarterback can handle that pressure. How either of these two decides how to handle their decisions, good or bad, will decide who takes home Morton Jones. As I said though, every position on the team is important. These two quarterbacks are backed by an entire team of talent. This year’s squads are no exception. Connecting in the air for Pietropola, Nick Marple has garnered 35 receptions for 771 yards and five touchdowns this season, along with teammate Kieron Smethers bringing in 28 receptions for 555 yards and 10 touchdowns. Recording 20 receptions for 532 yards and seven touchdowns, Luke Kelly aids Burleigh in the field for the Panthers, while teammate Levi Christman also steps in with 43 receptions for 546 yards and six touchdowns.

Senior Michael Pietropola races 86 yards for a touchdown during the first quarter Friday night, Oct. 24. However, the Hornets shot themselves in the foot on the drive as two negative running plays and two penalties put the Hornets back at the Towanda 44-yard line facing a second-and-40. Pietropola hit Cooper for 14 yards and Smethers for 12 yards to get the Hornets back to the 18-yard line. Chambers came on to attempt a 35-yard field goal, but the kick just missed, giving the ball back to Towanda. Wellsboro’s defense caused their second turnover and scored six points of their own as they dropped Huff for a fouryard loss and caused him to fumble. Smethers picked up the loose football and ran the remaining 29 yards into the endzone, leading 28-7 over the Knights. Towanda scored again as Huff and Yates were able to find running lanes in the Wellsboro defense, closing the deficit to 28-14. Wellsboro recovered Towanda’s onside kick attempt and took over at their own 44-yard line. Dean broke free for 11 yards, but a bad snap dropped Pietropola for an 18-yard loss that killed the drive and forced the Hornets to punt the ball. Towanda’s following drive was all Huff as he ran three times and threw one pass, but Cooper intercepted Huff’s pass to end the scoring threat. The Hornets took over on their own fiveyard line after an unsports-

manlike penalty backed them up half the distance to the goal and punted the ball back to Towanda. On the first play on Towanda’s next drive, Huff was intercepted again by Cooper to stop the threat. On the Hornets’ first play on the new drive a Dean fumble gave the ball back to the Black Knights on the Hornets 24-yard line. While Towanda scored on a three-yard run by Yates with just 47 seconds remaining in the game, Wellsboro sealed the NTL victory after receiving the ball back on the failed onside kick attempt by the Knights. Pietropola was 11-for-21 for 154 yards with a touchdown and an interception passing on the night and was also the leading rusher with 71 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. Dean rushed for 56 yards on 10 carries and Mack had 26 yards on eight attempts. Smethers had his second 100-yard receiving game of the year as he caught six passes for 112 yards and a touchdown. Huff rushed for 122 yards on 26 carries and was 7-for-14 for 114 yards and a touchdown but also turned the ball over four total times for the Black Knights. Next up for Wellsboro is arch rival North Penn. The Hornets host the 8-1 Panthers, who beat Wyalusing 36-15, on senior night Friday, Oct. 31, for the Morton F. Jones Trophy.

Coach Vicki Veon. “They played their hearts out as one of only three teams to qualify for Districts and to come in as the bottom team. “They gave Towanda a run for their money, never giving up. We are really proud of their efforts. They definitely came out ready to play.”

Despite 14 fourthquarter points by the Towanda Black Knights, the Wellsboro Hornets held on for a 28-21 win on Friday, Oct. 24. Towanda scored on their opening drive as they put together a six-play drive that was capped by a 32yard pass from Noah Huff to Dylan Bates, handing the Black Knights a 7-0 lead midway through the opening quarter. Wellsboro scored on their second possession to even the score. After a one-yard pass from senior quarterback Michael Pietropola to senior wide receiver Kieron Smethers, Pietropola found a seam in the Towanda defense and raced 86 yards to the end zone. Jack Chambers’ made the extra point to tie the game at 7-7. Again, the Hornet defense stepped up and forced a three-and-out after sacking Huff for a sevenyard loss. A 23-yard punt return by Anthony Cooper gave the Hornets excellent field position inside the Towanda 25-yard line. Dean got the Hornets down to the six-yard line on a 16yard run before Pietropola connected with Smethers for a six-yard touchdown, as time expired in the first quarter to take a 14-7 lead. The Hornet defense forced their first of five turnovers on the night as they dropped Steven Yates for a four-yard loss and caused a fumble after Towanda moved inside the Wellsboro 25-yard line after a 33-yard kick return by Huff set them up at the 50-yard line. The Hornets went right back to work as Pietropola scrambled for 24 yards and then connected on a 25-yard pass to Nick Levindoski to move into Towanda territory. Following an incomplete pass, Pietropola picked up a first down on a 10yard run and Dean broke free on runs of 17 and four yards to put the Hornets at the Towanda two-yard line. The following play, Pietropola ran over a Black Knight defender for his second touchdown of the night, closing the half with a 21-7 lead. After receiving the second half kick, Pietropola took to the air and connected with Smethers on a 42-yard pass to set up shop in the Towanda red zone.

The Canton Warriors rushed for over 350 yards and six touchdowns as they handed the visiting Cowanesque Valley Indians their fifth consecutive loss. Canton struck first as Noah Barnett returned the game’s opening kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown. Trevor Route, the hero from last week’s 37-36 victory over North Penn, missed his first extra point attempt and Canton led, 6-0. Cowanesque Valley answered Canton’s opening score with one of their own on the opening drive. Ethan Mead scored his first of two touchdowns as he scampered all over the field from his 19-yard line to tie the game at 6-6. One play later Mead converted the extra point to give the Indians their only lead of the night, 7-6. The score remained 7-6 until Barnett scored his first rushing touchdown of the night from 65 yards out to give the Warriors the lead back. Jimmy Bowman put Canton up 14-7 as he received a direct snap on the extra point try and found the end zone for the twopoint conversion. Early in the second quarter Canton increased their lead by two. After driving down to Cowanesque’s two-yard line and failing to convert on fourth down,

Jimmy Bowman and Malachi Washington tackled Connor Calaman in the end zone for a safety. Canton failed to produce on the drive following the free kick and turned the ball over on downs after Washington dropped a pass in the end zone on fourth down. The Indians put a few plays together before Calaman’s pass was intercepted by John Bowman. This time Canton capitalized on the opportunity as Jimmy Bowman ran the ball three times for 53 yards on the drive and scored a two-yard touchdown to put Canton up 22-7. The Warriors scored once more before the first half concluded as John Bowman threw a 16-yard strike to Mason Moore in the corner of the end zone with 13 seconds left to put Canton up 34-7. Canton’s next scoring drive didn’t happen until late in the third quarter as Bryce Cole broke a 19-yard run to put the Warriors up 40-7 after a failed two-point conversion. Cowanesque Valley turned the ball back over on their next possession as John Bowman intercepted a Calaman pass to five the Warriors excellent field position. Washington added his only score of the night as he plowed into the end zone from two yards out to put Canton up 46-7 as time

The Indians got the ball back as Joey Brown recovered a Canton fumble giving them excellent field position. The Indians took advantage of the opportunity with Bell scoring from six yards out, leaving the score 46-19. Canton struck again on their following drive as Barnett found the end zone for his third rushing touchdown as he found the end zone from 24 yards out to give the Warriors a 52-19 lead. Cowanesque scored one more time. Calaman kept the ball and swept around the left end for a 70yard score. Bell converted the two-point conversion as the score concluded 52-27.

The Mountaineers put four shots on goal in the game’s first 20 minutes including attempts by Kelly Howiszak, Brielle Filch, Sarah Pierce and Nicole Wynne. California managed the only goal of the afternoon after Greenawalt was credited with a save on a header on a corner kick before Crockett, the PSAC’s leading scorer, put in ball off a rebound. Mansfield came close to tying the game a minute later when Danielle Lentz’s shot front in front of the goal hit the crossbar. With 10 minutes remaining in the half, Kelsey Chapman got loose for a breakaway but couldn’t slip the ball past the goalie. The second half was evenly matched with both team putting five balls on goal and each awarded four corner kicks. Greenawalt recorded 14 saves for Mansfield while Michaela Colon had eight saves for California.

Wyatt Gorg recorded four saves in the net for Williamson, while Garret Watson posted six saves for Benton. “A very good game,”

This is a good bunch of kids and I am very happy to be their coach.” SATURDAY, OCT. 25 SAYRE 2, WELLSBORO 0 After securing the 2-0 win over South Williamsport, the Wellsboro Hornets advanced into the District IV Class A quarterfinal matchup with the Sayre Redskins.

Mansfield, which led 14-0 at halftime, exploited numerous Princeton turnovers in exploding for 53 second half points. Nine graduating seniors, Tim Carr, Estremera, Jared Green, Maniscalco, Anthony Mazzone, Brendan McDermott, Roland Miller, Kyle Sadler, all played significant roles in the win with fellow senior and starting middle linebacker Christian Sookdeo sidelined with an injury.

minutes to play in the first quarter. On its next possession, Mansfield drove 76-yards on seven plays cumulating with Eddie Larcom pulling in a 5-yard touchdown pass from Maniscalco with a second remaining in the first quarter. The Mountaineers struggled to finish drives in the second quarter, turning the ball over inside the Princeton 30 three times on downs.

MU defense gives inspired effort in loss to Slippery Rock

It would be difficult to give a more inspired effort than the Mansfield defense displayed in a 1-0 loss in double-overtime to playoffbound Slippery Rock Saturday afternoon, Oct. 25, on the Soccer Field. The two teams battled to a scoreless tie for 108 minutes before Brooke Edwards took a cross from Dara Demich and put it into the left side of the goal to end the marathon match. The Mountaineer defense of Casey Reber, Nicole Wynne, Kelly Howiszak and Sara Weaver along with goal Alana Greenawalt turned in its second stellar performance in the last two game – both against two of the top offensive teams in the PSAC. Mansfield had two of its best opportunities late in the game when Danielle Lentz take a bending shot from the left side of the box that looked to be going inside the post before SRU keeper Annabelle Hegeman made a diving save. With just two second remaining in the first overtime period, Kelsey Chapman’s shot also resulted in a Hegeman save. Slippery Rock held a 10-0 advantage in corner kicks and had 13 shots on goal to Mansfield’s three.

DeSales University Soccer Wellsboro Class of 2012

Wes Frebel scored his sixth goal of the season with just 1:05 left in the second overtime lifting the DeSales University mens’ soccer team past Delaware Valley College, 2-1, in Freedom Conference action on Wednesday. The Bulldogs (6-10-1, 1-4 Freedom) fell behind 1-0 in the first half when the Aggies (3-12-2, 0-5 Freedom) scored on a penalty kick and continued to lead late into the second-half before DSU tied the game at one. In the 78th minute junior Mike Lawler sent a pass to the back post where senior Phil Bortz was waiting unmarked and headed in the tying goal back to the far post just past the Aggie keeper. The first overtime went scoreless as each team attempted just one shot. Late in the second half freshman Alan Smith sent a thru ball to a streaking Frebel who earned a 1-v-1 with the goalie and beat him inside the left post giving the Bulldogs the win. DeSales finished the game outshooting the Aggies, 21-13, and had a 12-4 advantage in corner kicks. On Saturday, Oct. 25, Alex Peek snuck a shot inside the near post with 17 seconds left and freshman Joey Malvestuto scored 3:14 into the first overtime leading DeSales to an incredible 2-1 overtime win over previously unbeaten Eastern University. Eastern controlled play most of the game out-shooting DeSales, 24-10 and holding a 9-5 edge in corner kicks. Seniors Damien Romaine and Colin Sulpizio each made three saves as Romaine finished the game after Sulpizio left with an injury late in the first-half.

St. Francis University Football Liberty Class of 2013

In what can be described as the most significant win in school history, the Saint Francis football team won for the first time against a ranked opponent as the Red Flash defeated No. 22 Sacred Heart, 30-27, Saturday afternoon. History can be a pesky villain to shake. The Flash dominated most of the first three quarters of action and held a 27-10 lead at one point in the third quarter, but 17 unanswered points from the Pioneers had the score tied and momentum squarely on the home team’s side. The Pioneers had just tied the game at 27 with a field goal, and the Flash needed some plays to regain control with 9:47 to play. They got it with sophomore quarterback Zack Drayer (Hershey) hitting Terell Smith (West Haverstraw, N.Y.) for 14 yards on a thirdand-5. Khairi Dickson (Cleveland, Ohio) had 21 of his 95 yards on the drive. And kicker Lance Geesey (Harrisburg) punctuated the drive with a 35-yard field goal to put the Flash ahead, 30-27, with 5:28 remaining. The teams traded punts, and Sacred Heart started from its 30 with just 1:33 remaining and had no timeouts. On the fourth play of the drive from the SHU 48, freshman Delondo Boyd (Indian Head, Md.) deflected RJ Noel’s pass, and it fell into Dave Coleman’s (Montclair) arms for the interception and the exclamation point on an impressive road victory. The maturation of Drayer continued against the Pioneers as he threw for 242 yards and three touchdowns. But on the Red Flash’s first possession, Drayer showed the overflow crowd at Campus Field that he can catch the ball, as well. On the first play from scrimmage after DaQuan Minter (Johnstown) intercepted a Noel pass and returned it 24 yards to the Sacred Heart 33, Drayer handed to Anthony Abeid (Youngstown, Ohio) on a sweep. As Abeid slowed down and found the proper grip, Drayer snuck out the backfield and was wide open down the left side for a easy pitch-and-catch to give the Flash a startling 7-0 lead just 1:41 into the game. A Red Flash fumble led to a 23yard field goal and a short punt on the Flash’s next drive set up the Pioneers at the SFU 44. Five plays later, Noel found Tyler Dube for a 10-yard score to put the Pioneers ahead, 10-7. With the score still 10-7 midway through the second quarter, the Flash forced a Sacred Heart punt with Boyd’s sack and forced fumble. Although the Pioneers recovered, the ensuing punt went just 24 yards to set up the Flash at its own 46. Drayer went back to work. He connected with four different receivers on the drive, and he and Abeid reverted to their familiar roles on an 11yard touchdown pass to give the Flash a 14-10 lead. After Drayer was intercepted on a deflected pass at the SFU 35, Lorenzo Jerome (Sunrise, Fla.) played takeaway with his third interception of the season to stop the threat. The score remained 14-10 Saint Francis headed into the intermission. Drayer found Abeid wide open for a 63-yard touchdown connection on the opening drive of the half to make it 20-10. The extra point was blocked, but the Flash had a two possession advantage. The defense forced a three-andout, and the offense picked up where it left off. Khairi Dickson (Cleveland, Ohio) rushed for 29 yards on the drive, and Drayer found a streaking Cole Bush (Apollo) down the seam for a 32-yard score. Just as some of the demons of past games against ranked opponents appeared to be exorcised, the Pioneers found life. Later in the third quarter, reigning NEC Offensive Player of the Year Keshaudas Spence plunged in from four yards out to cap a 67-yard drive that took just 1:59 off the clock. He finished with 173 yards on 23 carries. On defense early in the fourth quarter and holding a 27-17 lead, it appeared the Flash had stopped the Pioneers with a sack by Lorenzo Coscarelli (Millstone Township, N.J.). But a late hit penalty on the Flash allowed the drive to continue, and Noel went 18 yards for the touchdown to make it 27-24 with

12:53 remaining. A three-and-out gave the ball right back to the Pioneers, and a Spence 47-yard run set the ball at the Flash 23. The defense held, though, and Sacred Heart had to settle for a 36-yard field goal and a tie game. Abeid had his second multi-touchdown receiving game of the season, hauling in three passes for 86 yards and two scores. Dickson’s 95 yards gives him 1,884 for his career, and that moves him into fifth place on the Saint Francis all-time rushing list.

Alfred University Football Notre Dame Class of 2014 (Mansfield native)

The Alfred University football rode a stingy defense and the legs of sophomore quarterback Tyler Johnson (East Syracuse, N.Y.) to a 14-3 victory over visiting Frostburg State Saturday afternoon at Yunevich Stadium. The AU defense allowed 171 yards of offense, including a mere 20 yards passing, and Johnson ran for 108 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Saxons snapped a three-game losing streak. With the Empire 8 Conference win, AU improves to 4-3 overall and 2-3 in conference play. Frostburg, which beat then 25th-ranked Ithaca in double overtime last weekend, falls to 3-5 overall (1-5 E8). Neither team could move the ball early, with Frostburg punting on its first two possessions and Alfred’s first two drives ending in a punt and an interception. After the AU turnover, Frostburg took over at the Alfred 20-yard line and drove to the Alfred 8-yard line before missing a 25-yard field goal. The Saxons took over at the 20 and on their first play from scrimmage, Johnson broke off a 61-yard run to the Frostburg 19-yard line. Four plays later, Johnson scored on a five-yard run and the Saxons led 7-0. Each team punted on its next two drives before Frostburg got on the board with a 33-yard Isaac Robinson field goal with 4:24 left before halftime. Frostburg got the ball back and drove to the AU 28-yard line before Robinson came up short on a 45-yard field goal attempt. AU closed out the scoring just over six minutes into the third quarter, taking the second-half kickoff and driving 75 yards in 10 plays.

Wellsboro man makes masks with liquid latex

jasonp@tiogapublishing.com

What does Chris Beacom get when he combines a foam head, Play-Doh, liquid latex and acrylic paint? He gets a new face, or one hauntingly familiar. Beacom, 31, has had an interest in horror movies and “scary stuff” since childhood. In high school, he started making his own latex masks. In addition to movies, he has another photo by JASON PrZyByCIEN source of inspiration. CHRIS BEACOM “Nightmares I’ve had as a kid, and lately,” he said, adding, “Maybe I’m just one of those people that photo by JASON PrZ Chris Beacom peers gets his trip out of someout from one of his ma yByCIEN sks. thing like that.” After learning that masks were made from liquid latex, he taught himself how rather than buy an expensive kit. He starts with a foam head to get the basic shape, sculpts details with Play-Doh, layers on liquid latex and colors it with acrylic paint. Each mask costs about $20 in materials and takes a couple days to complete in his free time. “I get better the more I make,” he said. The faces range from man apelike monster to walking zombies with open wounds. While some of these faces scared him while he was asleep, by the time the mask is done it doesn’t bother him. That’s not to say that nothing scares him anyphoto by JASON PrZyByCIEN more. He still doesn’t like Masks which Chris recently made include undead zombies and other monsters. “really sinister-looking clowns” or “creepy look- Stephen King’s “It,” and he hopes to make a clown He also enjoys heavy ing dolls.” Much of that later reading the book of mask just like the face that metal music and zombie fear stems from watching the same name.

Marvin Hall (far right), Mansfield Head Start bus driver, is shown with children from the Mansfield afternoon class, including (from left to right) Marley, Abigail, Sabra, Hunter, Kayleigh, Izaiah, Jared, Raelynn, and Jozie.

Head Start purchases new school bus Bradford-Tioga Head Start, Inc. recently purchased a new 2014 Chevy Bluebird school bus. One of the reasons for the purchase was that today’s school buses are built for safety and have many new safety features. It should be no surprise that when it comes to children, Bradford-Tioga Head Start has their safety in mind. The new 30-passenger bus is equipped with an electronic safety system that ensures no child is left on the bus. A button, located at the back of

the bus, must be pushed within 10 minutes of turning off the ignition or the bus alarm system will activate by walking to the back of the bus to push this button, the driver is able to visually check that all children have been dismissed off the bus. If this doesn’t occur, the alarm will sound to remind the driver to go to the back of the bus. The school bus, as well as new Safeguard fivepoint harness child safety seats, were purchased with funds through a Fed-

eral Sequestration refunding grant awarded in August 2014. Once the grant was secured, the purchasing process was initiated by putting the bus requirements out for bid. Brightbill Body Works, Inc. in Lebanon Pa. was the successful bidder. After the bus was delivered, it went through both a specification inspection as well as a state police inspection before being assigned to the Mansfield Center for use during the 2014-2015 school year.

The Tioga County Democratic Committee is conducting an 100 mile motorcade trek across Tioga County on Sunday, Nov. 2, starting in Westfield at 1 p.m. and ending in Liberty later in the day to encourage citizens to, first, to get out to vote and, secondly, to support local and state Democratic candidates. The motorcade will form at the Westfield Elementary School building and proceed east along Route 49 to the communities of Knoxville, Osceola, Nelson and Lawrenceville. From Lawrenceville the motorcade will move south along Route 287 to Tioga and Wellsboro, then along Route 6 to Mansfield. From Mansfield, the line of march will be along Business 15 to Covington, Blossburg, and finally Liberty. All local communities have been alerted to the motorcade event. Participants on the motorcade will wind through the community streets preceded by a trailer, driven by Steve Steinbacher, which was featured in the Mansfield 1890’s celebration. The motorcade will stop outside the participating communities to allow participants to hop on and off the motorcade. For further information, contact Peg Darby, Tioga County chair person 570-659-5924.

MU pledges to keep education majors

Mansfield University announced Oct. 16 that the business department plans to pursue accreditation and avoid a moratorium. And on Oct. 22, MU President Francis Hendricks announced the university will keep some education programs as well. A moratorium was scheduled to begin for those programs at the end of this year. This decision reversal allows new students to enroll. No Education faculty will be retrenched. “The discussions over the past three weeks about the moratorium of several programs have been open, honest and fruitful,” Hendricks said in making the announcement. “They have solidified a shared vision of Mansfield’s future. There is a strong commitment on everyone’s part to making Mansfield the premier small public university in Pennsylvania … I want to thank faculty, staff, students, alumni, community members and constituents who took part in this dialogue.” MU Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculty President Dr. John Mansfield applauded the decision in an Oct. 23 statement. “The announcement from President Hendricks is positive news for our students, our programs and our faculty,” Dr. Mansfield said. “Disrupting programs and limiting student choices at Mansfield University does not benefit our institution or make the university more sustainable; in fact it does the opposite. This decision by the president gives everyone a greater opportunity in the coming year to find other means of cost containment.” Hendricks credits the Department of Education & Special Education, chaired by Jannis Floyd, for working with the administration. Hendricks pointed out that this decision and last week’s to remove the Department of Business from the moratorium list will mean the projected savings of $1.6 million dollars in personnel costs will not be realized. Mansfield added, “APSCUF will continue to work with the president and his administration to ensure that our students receive the best education possible and reduce the need for program cuts. Academic departments at the university have worked diligently to reduce costs by adjusting course offering schedules, increasing some class sizes and other means that at the same time do not harm quality in our classrooms. APSCUF recognizes that Mansfield University continues to face economic challenges but by working together this institution and our programs have a bright future.” The School Library and Information Services will continue through the moratorium process, Hendricks said. The Anthropology/ Sociology program, which was placed in moratorium last year, will remain in moratorium, but Sociology courses and a Sociology Minor will continue to be offered at Mansfield University to meet general education and a variety of curricula needs.

Westfield couple write book, to be in Wellsboro

AnniversAry Couple of the Week

Evans celebrate 27th anniversary Keith and Bonnie (Carnall) Evans were married on Sept. 4, 1987, by the justice of the peace in West Palm Beach, Fla. They had dated in high school, and had broken up. She went off to school, and he went off to the Marine Corps. Four years later, Bonnie called Keith to share her grief at the passing of her father. Keith hopped on an airplane and later, after spending two weeks together, they decided to get married. Standing in front of the JP, Keith was so nervous that he couldn’t remember his name or birth date. This year they are celebrating 27 years of marriage. Keith served in the Marine Corps from 1983 to 1987 in artillery fire control. He went to school and got an accounting degree, and worked for a firm doing accounts receivable audits from 1991 to 1997, when they moved to Tioga County. At that time, he changed careers and became a registered nurse, and continues to work at Broad Acres. Bonnie has always wanted to be a nurse. She worked in Florida as a nurse for 10 years, and worked at Soldiers + Sailors Hospital from 1997 to 2014. She now works as a travel nurse. Bonnie and Keith have five children, Joshua, Ashley, Jennifer, Tyler and Cameron, all at home. Keith and Bonnie enjoy nights out playing Bingo, visiting with family and friends, and making day trips to see the

Bonnie & Keith evans sights. They attend Middlebury Baptist Church. Their advice for newlyweds is to be serious in your commitment to the marriage, because it takes work, and while it may seem easier to get a divorce, it is an illusion, because honoring the commitment makes it all the more fulfilling. After four years, the Anniversary Couple of the Week Contest will conclude at the end of 2014. In the remaining weeks, couples who have entered the contest and have not won in the previous four years will be featured. A coffee table book project is planned, to be called “Marriage Wisdom of Tioga County, PA: Advice for Newlyweds.” It will feature the portraits from the contest along with each couples’ advice for a successful marriage. Publication date will be in the spring 2015.

On Friday, Nov. 7, from 6-8 p.m., Patty Barber of Westfield will be at From My Shelf Books & Gifts at 25 Main Street in Wellsboro to talk about and autograph copies of “The Golden Betrayal: Book One of the Reab’r Island Triology.” She and her husband Jeff co-authored and selfpublished the book through WestBow Press. Their niece, Georgieanna Gross created the graphics for the cover. Described as light fantasy with a Christian feeling, it is based on a dream Patty had about a young girl who finds out she is adopted and her parents were King and Queen on Reab’r Island. “Jeff and I talked about my dream - the main idea for the story. He said he would help me write it.” In July 2013, several months after Patty’s dream, she and Jeff began working on “The Golden Betrayal.” “Jeff helped expand my original idea and added subplots. We reviewed each other’s work and finalized everything together.”

Patty and Jeff Barber of Westfield hold copies of their new book, “the Golden Betrayal.” Patty noted, “We decided to do a series of three books. Our goal is to give young adults a positive message that reflects good morals and faith-based principles love, forgiveness, faith and family.” The main characters in

“The Golden Betrayal” are Elizabeth Royalian, 18, and Joshua David Maineton, 20. They grew up together on Elizabeth’s family’s vineyard and orchard but as young adults they are no longer as close. The three-book series

Learn how to be a Dickens Shopping character at Nov. 5 workshop Soiree

The public is invited to attend the Dickens of a Christmas Costume Workshop and learn how to become a Dickens of a Character. Larry and Barbara Biddison will host the free Costume Workshop this Wednesday, Nov. 5, beginning at 7 p.m. in the Penn Wells Hotel lobby at 62 Main Street in Wellsboro. It’s free. Those who don’t want to go caroling or do Christmas readings on Dickens Saturday in Wellsboro can join friends, families and visitors on a stroll of Wellsboro’s streets, tipping a top hat or performing a curtsy in a long skirt, and wish-

ing all who pass a “Happy Holiday!” During the workshop, learn how to put together a costume using items on hand or that can be procured easily and inexpensively, and where to go to find them. Leftover Halloween costumes, wedding or prom attire, curtains, tablecloths, old coats and hats, and all kinds of items that might be found in grandma’s attic can add to the Victorian look and to Dickens festival fun on Saturday, Dec. 6. At the workshop, people will model their Dickens clothing, explain how they made the costumes they are wearing and how they

stay warm while strolling outdoors. There will also be a demonstration of how to turn jean-clad kids into Victorian-era street urchins or well-mannered children. Available at the workshop will be clothing that can be purchased on the spot for reasonable prices. Larry said, “Wellsboro’s Dickens of a Christmas festival is not one of those ‘historically correct’ events where people are expected to wear authentic period costumes. Any clothing or accessory that looks ‘old fashioned’ will serve. Some can easily be made. For example, to create a pair of old fashioned glasses, bend electricians wire.”

will answer these two questions: “Will recent circumstances bring Elizabeth and Joshua together again, or will the secrets he kept from her tear them apart forever? Can the Bald Eagles and Herron Brothers, who have been guarding and protecting Reab’r Island for several generations, help right the wrong?” The couple has already started working on the second book. “We have outlined our ideas. By early winter we plan to begin writing again,” she said. Both are graduates of Northern Potter High School in Ulysses. Today, Jeff teaches health and physical education to kindergarten through sixth graders at Northern Potter Elementary School and Patty is a paraprofessional there. Jeff also coaches football.

Vasnetsov’s Four Horsemen are Pestilence, War, Famine, Death

Calf won, 33 lots sold at dairy auction Brent Watkins, 4 years old and the son of Matt and Michelle Watkins of Little Marsh, won the Tioga County Holstein Club’s annual raffle calf. Tickets were sold at the 2014 Tioga County Fair and local dairy cattle shows throughout the summer. The drawing was held at the Holstein Club sale on Friday, Sept. 26 at the Tioga County Fairgrounds. Brent’s dad, Matt, bought tickets for Brent at the fair for Chatham-Valley Cairo Lucy, a Holstein calf born on June 10. The calf was offered by Chatham-Valley Farm, owned by Rick Davis, a neighbor of the Watkins. While Brent and his family were not at the sale, family and neighbors called him immediately. Brent and his family plan to show Lucy at next year’s Tioga County dairy show. Other highlights of the sale were the cheese yield auction with 17-year-old Kira Metzler of Wellsboro

e know in our history, mythology, and in the written Word that “they were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine, plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth” (Revelation 6:7). Pestilence’s presence is a well-known part of our past - that’s 2.8 million years ago if you count the bones in Sterkfontein’s cave, and 4,500 years since someone scribed words onto parchment at a port along the Red Sea. Now of the 100 billion who have lived on this planet, about 6-7 percent are still walkin about (add another four for every second it takes to read this article). Death ultimately gets credited more than his share - but we do know that Pestilence took 5 percent of the world’s population during the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918…31 years after Vasnetsov painting of the infamous riders. Are you aware that famine has starved 70

Crop talk & other things throughout the season million or so, just in the last 10 decades alone, and what can we say about war? He’s claimed more than 203 million souls in just this century. Death has many methods-natural is rare. Pestilence on the other hand, seems to work best when he cripples us with fear. Famine well, more oft than not, his presence is attributed to choice or as Darwin wrote “if the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws but by our institutions, great is our sin.” As for War, we, as a species are the origin of War. War it would seem has himself a companion these days, for the headless one’s been seen riding

a lot in recent weeks- is there really any need to mention that group by name? Don’t be so quick to dismiss the symbolism of the four horsemen, or assume that your intellect will give you immunity from the social upheaval they represent. Myths and the written word are a mechanism our species has developed to ensure survival. These riders have come around before they will be back again. What if it were you, quarantined by choice or by force? What if Hysteria arrived this hallowed eve to tell the town that you harbor him that rides the colorless horse? Did you take the time to plant the crops to fend off one or more? Have a safe and happy Halloween folks. * * * Melissa Bravo is a farm and land management specialist with Meadow Lake Farm Consulting Services. Contact her at mlfcservices@ yahoo.com or 814-574-4067.

Access to Lambs Creek limited during college championships The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Tioga-Hammond and Cowanesque Lakes will allow limited access to designated areas of Lambs Creek recreation area Nov. 8 due to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference cross country championships. Hunters are advised that some areas will be closed to hunting only on

the day of the event and will be clearly marked with signage. Pheasant hunters may take advantage of the Pennsylvania Game Commission pheasant stockings along the Ives Run railroad grade at Hammond Lake and along the Moccasin Trail at Cowanesque Lake. Pheasant stockings will remain unchanged at Lambs

Creek, and should provide hunting opportunities as always. The corps asks everyone using the recreation area that day to respect the areas utilized for the cross country event. If you have any questions or for more information, contact the Tioga-Hammond and Cowanesque Lakes project at 570-835-5281.

Baker awarded first MU Coin for Excellence Thumbs and the

Representative Matt Baker has been awarded the first Mansfield University Presidential Coin for Excellence. MU President Fran Hendricks made the presentation during an informal ceremony on Thursday, October 23 at the Rotary Club meeting in Wellsboro. The coin was developed by Hendricks and designed by MU Publications Director Andy Worthington. The coin bears several symbols representing historical highlights and other aspects of the university that make it distinctive. The front side of the coin shows a football and bursts of light in commemoration of the world’s first night football game played by Mansfield in 1892; the flame of knowledge; 15 rays of light symbolizing number of members of the first graduating class, 12 women and three men in 1866; a book with an inkwell and G Clef, a reference that Mansfield Classical Seminary was the first institution to accredit music teachers;

and the words, “Semper Honorus,” which is Latin for Always with Honor. The back side of the coin lists the various names the university has had, including, Mansfield Normal School, Mansfield Classical Seminary, Mansfield State Teachers College, Mansfield State College and Mansfield University. It bears the university creed of “Character, Scholarship, Culture, Service.” North Hall, the university’s oldest and most distinguished building, is also prominently displayed. The rope cut around the edge symbolizes that which binds our present to our past, symbolizes the closeknit of our community and provides the means to capture our future. Hendricks said the coin will be awarded selectively to persons who have contributed greatly to the university, using the creed as a guideline. “I thought long and hard about who the first recipient should be,” Hendricks said. “And it was clear

MU President Fran Hendricks (right) gives the university’s first Coin for Excellence to Rep. Matt Baker. that Matt Baker deserved the honor. He has been an unwavering supporter of Mansfield University and he embodies everything that is great about our region. He is the epitome of excellence in action. Being the first recipient, he sets the bar high for those who will join him in this special recognition.” “He also serves on the state’s Board of Governors which oversees all the State System institutions,’ Hen-

dricks added. “Matt has always been there for MU; as a legislator, a friend and a visionary” Baker is serving his 11th term in the 68th district of the House of Representatives, representing all of Tioga County and Western Bradford County.

UGI launches ‘Energy Safe Kids’ UGI Utilities, Inc. has launched a new section on its website, “Energy Safe Kids,” aimed at providing natural gas safety information to school-age children. The section is available at www.ugi. com/kidssafety. A highlight of the site is an interactive game called “Gas Dash,” which is designed to teach important safety tips in the context of a familiar online game-setting. The site also includes children’s activities such as a word search game, crossword puzzle and a solve-it puzzle. In addition, the site offers information on natural gas safety, carbon monoxide safety, call before you dig and other information in language written at an appropriate grade level for children. Another section of “Energy Safe Kids” provides content for teachers, including classroom activities and presentations.

Triplets

ne of the joys of living in the same place for many years is getting to know your neighbors and the community. Similar familiarity come into play if you hunt the same area day after day and year after year. During the summer months and the first few weeks of New York bowhunting season my family, friends and I have begun to recognize some local “residents”. Spontaneously new names and descriptions have come into our vocabulary and lexicon. When someone mentions “ Crab Claw”, the “Triplets” or “Thumbs” most of us know exactly who the reference identifies. The triplets burst on to the scene when I was mowing near the house There is something about the security of the house and the brush and cover around it because nearly every year we have seen newborn fawns on the edges of the lawn. Are the doe smart enough to realize that most predators will not venture that close to the building? Crab Claw is one of several scruffy antlered bucks running around our property. His antlers are somewhat palmated and have a tiny little “y” that, as the name suggests, looks like a crab claw. The names and discriptors are not just limited to whitetail deer. There are at least three different groups of turkeys present as well. There is a small group of five or six jakes and gobblers, a small mixed flock of poults and a hen, and a large flock

that is likely two or three hens and their combined poults. The large group has a tendency to enter the fields in single file, so when my daughter Kristy texted me one morning from her stand and wrote the “Turkey Train” just passed by, I knew which flock she meant. Thumbs is a fawn from this past spring with the largest buttons we have ever seen on a yearling deer. Buttons are the swelling pedicels on the forehead from which antlers will grow in future years. Usually these buttons barely protrude thought the hair the first year, rising about a half an inch. As the name suggests, Thumb’s buttons are not only longer than usual but also have significant girth, resembling human thumbs. When one sees the same animal or animals frequently it is often possible to identify individual characteristics. Whether it is people of a different race or species of animals when one gets to know them, “they don’t all look the same.” * * * Dale Miller is a lifelong outdoor person and hunter who has been writing about the outdoors for more than 30 years.

Have ski, snowboard equipment to swap? The Wellsboro Department of Parks and Recreation in conjunction with Country Ski and Sports is hosting the “Largest Ski and Snowboard Swap in the Northern Tier.” Those with used or new skis, boots, snowboards and other snowboard and ski equipment they want to sell are invited to bring the items Friday, Nov. 14, between 5 and 8 p.m. to the Don Gill Elementary School Gym on Sherman Street in Wellsboro. Swap staff will assist in pricing the equipment and provide the seller with a receipt. No swap equipment will be accepted on Saturday, Nov. 15, during the sale. The 10 percent commission on all sold goods at the

Ski Swap will be used to defray transportation costs to the slopes this winter for school age students participating in the Wellsboro Ski Club. Hundreds of skis, snowboards, boots and bindings will go on sale between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15, at the Don Gill Elementary School Gymnasium located on Sherman Street in Wellsboro. High performance, intermediate, and beginner packages will be available as well as the largest selection of used junior equipment.

Miracle on South Division Street to open Nov. 7 Theatre-goers can now make reservations for Hamilton-Gibson Productions upcoming play “Miracle on South Division Street.” The four-person comedy, sponsored by Indigo Wireless, is authored by Tom Dudzick who wrote “Over the Tavern,” which H-G produced a few years ago. “Miracle” concerns the Nowaks, rock-solid members of the Roman Catholic Polish-American community on the East Side of Buffalo. They’ve been maintaining a shrine that Grandpa Nowak built in 1943, commemorating a vision – of the Vir-

gin Mary preaching world peace – that he said he had shortly after arriving in the U.S. from war-torn Europe and opening his barbershop. Literally keeping the faith nearly 70 years later in the gritty, deteriorating neighborhood are his daughter, Clara (Linda Iseri), and her grown children: Jimmy (Noyes Lawton), a garbage collector; Bev (Renee Shantz), a ketchup bottler; and Ruth (Johna Neal) who would be a struggling actress if she could only get a part. The play, directed by Thomas Putnam, opens at

the Warehouse Theatre, 3 Central Avenue, Wellsboro, on Friday, Nov. 7, at 7:30 p.m. followed by an opening night reception. “Miracle” will also be performed on Saturday, Nov. 8, at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 9, at 2:30 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, Nov. 14 and 15, at 7:30 p.m. Regular ticket prices are $18 for adults and $7 for students and children. The First Saturday performance on Nov. 8, is reduced in price: $12 for adults and free for students and children and the Sunday, Nov. 9, matinee is Pay-What-You-Can.

Percussion Ensemble, Steel Pan Band to perform this Monday The six-member Mansfield Percussion Ensemble and the 10-member Steel Pan Band will perform this Monday, Nov. 3, from 7:30-9:30 p.m. in Steadman Theatre on the Mansfield University campus. The concert is free and open to the public. The students will be playing a diverse collection of instruments, ranging from marimbas, xylophones, vibraphones and glockenspiels to log drums and brake parts taken from cars.

Conrad Alexander, currently on the percussion faculty at Mansfield University and Ithaca College, is directing the Mansfield Percussion Ensemble. He is also a member of the Binghamton Philharmonic, the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra and the Ensemble X New Music Ensemble. Closing the concert will be The Pansfieldians, MU’s Steel Pan Band, playing three tunes written by Adam Brennan who will be con-

ducting the ensemble. An active composer, arranger, performer and clinician in band and percussion, Dr. Brennan is the director of The Spirit and The Pride of Pennsylvania - The Mansfield University Marching Band, a group for which he writes all music. He conducts the Concert Wind Ensemble, and works with the Concert Percussion Ensemble, Mexican Marimba Band, and newly formed MU Steel Pan Band.

MU Percussion Symposium concert is Friday, Nov. 7 On Friday, Nov. 7, during the Mansfield University Percussion Symposium, the Pennsylvania All-Star Percussion Ensemble will be featured in concert in Steadman Theatre on campus. The concert is free and open to the public. Host directors are Conrad Alexander and Adam Brennan.

House honors C&N for 150 years Citizens & Northern Bank has been recognized by the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania for its 150 years of service to the communities it serves. The House citation was presented to C&N Interim President and CEO Mark A. Hughes by Rep. Matt Baker, (R-Bradford/Tioga). Baker sponsored the citation which honors C&N on its 150th anniversary. The citation reads, in part, “With an innovative and progressive attitude, along with the conviction to operate with integrity and vision, Citizens & Northern Bank has established a reputation of quality and service over the past one hundred fifty years. The House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania congratulates Citizens & Northern Bank upon the momentous occasion of its one hundred fiftieth anniversary (and) offers best wishes for continued

growth and prosperity in the years to come.” “We are very grateful to Rep. Baker for sponsoring this citation for us. It means a great deal to all of us at C&N to be recognized in this manner,” said Hughes. Citizens & Northern Bank was founded in 1864 and is the sixth oldest bank in the state of Pennsylvania. It is one of the oldest national banks in the United States. Founded as the First National Bank of Wellsborough, the Articles of Association were signed on Feb. 27, 1864. The bank received its charter on March 21, 1864 and opened for business later that year. Started with one office and deposits of just over $5,000, today C&N has 26 offices in eight counties in Pennsylvania and New York and assets of more than $1.2 billion. C&N was founded as, and remains, a local, independent community bank.

Act 13 funds support free natural gas training Pennsylvania College of Technology will provide $50,000 in ShaleNET scholarships to 50 veterans, unemployed and underemployed residents of Tioga County. The scholarships are made possible by Act 13 (impact fee) funding approved recently by the Tioga County Commissioners. The college will offer tuition-free training – $1,000 per student – to provide the basic skills and certifications required for entry-level employment in the oil and natural gas industry. Classes may lead to employment in the occupations of roustabout, floorhand, completion technician and welder helper. The short-term, noncredit, certificate-awarding program trains residents in three primary skill areas identified by employers as critical to successful employment: job readiness, workplace and environmental safety, and technical awareness. PA CareerLink in Wellsboro will assist ShaleNET staff with promoting the opportunity to county residents, recruiting students,

providing education regarding expectations of being employed by the industry, assisting with selecting appropriate occupations for training, and placement. “We value the contribution of Act 13 funding made to Pennsylvania College of Technology by the Tioga County Commissioners,” said Tracy L. Brundage, vice president for workforce development at the college. “This is a substantial investment in the future for residents of Tioga County, especially for veterans, unemployed and underemployed persons. This action underscores the priority the county and Penn College place on training residents for lifelong careers in the oil and gas industry – careers that pay family-sustaining wages and enhance the quality of life for individuals, families and the county.” The average annual wage for Marcellus Shale core industries is approximately $90,000, according to the state Department of Labor and Industry.

GET TO KNOW YOUR BREASTS

By Renee Quarterman, MD, FACS Susquehanna Health Breast Health Center

Changes in the breast, such as lumps or masses, typically trigger cancer concerns. But did you know that only about 20 percent of lumps discovered turn out to be cancerous? Knowing your breasts well makes you an active participant in your breast health and guides your provider as he or she examines and evaluates you. Your own assessment can guide therapies and make your treatment plan easier. The breast is a complex structure made up of lobules, connective tissue, fat, lobes, ducts and lymph nodes. Breast self-exam (a regular, five minute visual and physical inspection) helps you learn your breasts’ unique makeup and characteristics both of which change cyclically and over time. A young woman typically has denser breasts with more hormonally active tissue than an older woman who has gone through menopause. Beginning breast self-exam in your twenties is ideal, but any time is a good time! If you have a cycle, examine your breasts at the same time in each cycle. Examining just after your period is often easiest because your breasts are not as dense. If you don’t have a cycle, pick the same time each month. With routine exams you’ll learn what is normal for you. Promptly report these conditions to your healthcare provider:

• A lump or thickening in the Mammograms, starting at age breast that does not change 40, are an excellent screening with your cycle tool that can detect small • A change in the size or shape changes in your breasts before you can see or feel them.

Deane displays Wellsboro student art Colorful, creative paintings and sculptures are livening up the lobby at the Deane Center for the Performing Arts at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro. “Mexican Sugar Skulls,” an art exhibit by local high school students opened with a public reception in the Deane Center lobby on Oct. 23. The students’ artwork will remain on display there until Thursday, Nov. 13. Thursday night, a painting by Caitlynn Butler, a senior, was named Best in Show; first runner-up was sophomore Makanna Johnson, and second runnerup, Elise Becker, a senior. Each of the 26 oil and acrylic paintings and 18 ceramic sculptures in the

exhibit were made by students in Laura Kozuhowski’s art classes at Wellsboro Senior High. She said, “The 16 students in my advanced oil painting class are the stars of this show. They had the most complicated work to do. First they painted portraits and then added Mexican sugar skull designs.” She continued, “This project has given students a way to do a portrait without having to worry about it being too difficult. It was less intimidating and fostered their self-confidence. Once they finished their skull portraits, they then added beautiful designs in oils like those found in the Mexican culture

- hearts, flowers, keys, even spiderss. They are positive, not negative or scary. “In Mexican culture, there is a celebration ‘El Dia de los Muertos’ that uses sugar skulls to honor deceased loved ones. It’s a positive celebration of life and death. For the holiday, people in Mexico gather on Oct. 31, Nov. 1 and 2 to pray for and honor friends and family members who have passed. The sugar skulls are made of sugar and feature wonderful designs. “It’s the Halloween and fall season right now. That’s why this type of exhibit works so well.” Call the Deane Center at 570-7246220 for more info.

She unites tunes from her father’s West Irish village to her father-in-law’s poetic memories of the “wakes” that honored departing immigrants, most of whom never saw their homelands again. These raw tunes and stories contributed to the foundation of Americana music. The members of her

band share her passion for performance. Lead singer, blues harp, percussionist, and former Blues Brother Tommy McDonnell is equally at home with the congas and the bodhrán (Irish frame drum). All Ireland accordion champ Buddy Connolly has worked with American roots music greats Tim O’Brien and Kathy Mattea.

Newest member, Lindsey Horner, is equally at home on upright and electric bass thanks to his Julliard jazz and classical backgrounds.
