CA L L T O DAY St. Marys City Council took the first steps in enacting an engine brake ordinance during their work session on Tuesday evening. These engine brakes, also known as jake brakes, are separate supplemental braking systems which may be turned off and on by the operator through a switch. Many operators leave the switch on all the time. Discussion between council members about the ordinance became heated at times during the meeting. In a 4-2 vote, council plans to inquire if PennDOT will allow the city to explore an engine brake ordinance in 25 mph speed zones on trucks weighing over 80,000 pounds. Those weighing under 80,000 pounds will automatically be covered under the See Brakes, Page 2 Straitiff: Elk having positive economic impact on region By Becky Polaski Staff Writer BENEZETTE It is no secret that Pennsylvania s elk herd is a popular area attraction, but many area residents may not realize how much of a positive economic impact the animals have on the area. John Straitiff, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Great Outdoors Visitors Bureau, spoke briefly about the herd s economic impact within the region during the Pennsylvania Game Commission s recent dedication ceremony for the new Winslow Hill Viewing Area. Straitiff noted that he and his staff are present at a variety of sports shows throughout the area, including in Harrisburg, See Elk, Page 2 Elk are shown in a field in the Benezette area on a recent evening.

Students ill have an opportunity o tour the Penn State Brewfest Continued from Page 1 All of the recipes use eer and wine in them lthough the flavors are ery subtle. This way the food ies into the theme of the vent, noted Cheryl Ruffer, Brewfest committee ember. Patrons can eat until p.m., after which time hey are invited to return or a second serving. Also taking place at he event is a silent aucion, door prizes being givn away every 10 minutes eaturing unique beer and ine themed gifts, and a ash drawing. The grand door prize ncludes a wheelbarrow lled with a taste of the vening which includes ottles of beer from each endor, cases of Straub Brakes Continued from Page 1 ordinance. Council members Greg Gebauer and Sally Geyer cast dissenting votes for the ordinance. A vehicle over 80,000 pounds would most definitely be one you don t want to restrict an engine brake on, Gebauer said. According to Todd Caltagarone, interim co-city manager, the engine braking systems were designed for use on steep grades. All the road grades coming into St. Marys are flat or low grade. The engine brakes are also not needed in areas where the speed limit is 25 mph or under, which is the case on South St. Marys Street and Maurus Street. Caltagarone said the issue comes down to noise and the hydrocarbons which causes soot to accumulate on houses. The idea of creating a jake brake ordinance was brought up last month by councilman Ned Jacob who received complaints from residents about the noise level of trucks driving into town. Four nearby municipalities have enacted an engine brake ordinance. I do feel it would be a positive impact to keep some of the trucks from using their engine brake coming into St. Marys, Jacob said. Caltagarone said the local municipalities that enacted those ordinances did so out of political necessity. In the municipalities opinion, the complaints started coming in after the signs were erected, although there is no hard data to prove anything. It s not easily enforceable. It s very difficult if not impossible to enforce, Caltagarone said. Even with that knowledge these other municipalities went ahead and enacted the ordinance and they felt it had a positive impact. Gebauer is opposed to the ordinance. During the meeting he displayed a commercial drivers manual as a reference stating throughout the book it mentions the use of engine brake retarders. If it s important enough to be in this manual to teach somebody how to drive a big rig, it s clearly important enough when truckers think they need to use their engine brake to allow them to use it, Gebauer said. He added enforcing DuBois engineering labs, learn how to get a head start on a successful career in manufacturing, and complete a hands-on manufacturing project. Manufacturing Day is an annual national event executed at the local level supported by thousands of manufacturers and educators as they host students, teachers, parents, job Beer, and a 30 oz. Yeti beverage rambler tumbler donated by Ireland s Bait Shop. Limited edition Brewfest T-shirts are also being sold for $5. There will be about 100 shirts available for purchase. Dowie stated the low cost of the T-shirts is due to the generosity of the event sponsors. Tickets may be purchased in advance at St. Marys Beverage, the Fox Township Volunteer Fire Department Social Hall, the Fox Township Municipal Building or at the door. There is no additional charge for tickets purchased at the door. Patrons must be 21 years of age or older to attend. the ordinance will just be another headache for the city, for the management and for all the employees when there is an ordinance in the book and signs up and truckers are continuing to use their jake brakes. Gebauer anticipates the city will receive complaint calls as to why the police are not enforcing the ordinance. I m not one for ordinances that can t be enforced, Gebauer said. Caltagarone said one municipality reported the same problem as mentioned by Gebauer. I think it s only fair to the people of St. Marys to get the noise reduced as much as possible, Jacob said. Gebauer stated he would rather see PennDOT install some sort of flashing light signal to remind truck drivers to reduce their speed entering the city. During the meeting, Gebauer took over the duties of St. Marys Mayor Bob Howard who was excused from the meeting. seekers and other local community members at open houses, plant tours and presentations designed to showcase modern manufacturing technology and careers.

Continued from Page 1 Altoona, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo, N.Y. Without a doubt, we get a ton of questions about elk, he said. Probably my favorite one is: We have elk in Pennsylvania? I love that one. According to Straitiff, one of the visitors bureau s most requested pamphlets is a guide that shows people how to get around Elk Country. We get people that stop in or call our office, reach out to us on Facebook, and reach out to us via the web. This time of year, I would say the majority of our phone calls are specifically related to elk viewing and how do people get to Winslow Hill or the Elk Country Visitor Center. The elk are, without a doubt, a major attraction, Straitiff said. In an effort to illustrate the impact of the number of people coming to see the elk, Straitiff cited the fact that there were believed to have been around 400,000 visitors at the Elk Country Visitor Center in Benezette last year. That s 400,000 in Benezette in a year, he said. That s a lot of people. Along with that statistic, Straitiff added that the recent Pa. Great Outdoors Elk Expo, which is a joint effort between the visitors bureau, Pennsylvania Game Commission, and Keystone Elk Country Alliance, drew over 16,200 people to the visitor center between Aug Some vendors who were present at the event wanted to renew instantly for next year, he noted. If you re looking at it, the lodging and the cottage industry is growing rapidly in Elk County. There are more visitors coming to the region each and every month, and each and every year, Straitiff said. He noted that both Wapiti Woods and Medix Run Lodges and Cabins both built new cabins this year. Additionally, Straitiff cited Second Street Lodge and Bennetts Branch Lodge as being two other newer lodging facilities that have sprung up in recent years. Antler Shed Cabins is also expected to be opening shortly. The food and beverage industry has seen a positive impact as well.

The Benezette Hotel recently remodeled and expanded just to meet the demand of people coming to the region, Straitiff said. The Old Bull Cafe down in Benezette took an empty church and turned it into a restaurant. The Big Elk Lick Campground is under new ownership. Benezette Wines, and all the wineries around the area, are springing up. We re seeing tremendous growth in it. People come here, see the elk, and travel to the wineries. There is even a moonshine outlet in the area now, Straitiff added. We are seeing growth directly related to the elk and to the attraction that it brings to the general public, Straitiff said. I found out earlier this year that the Thunder Mountain Equestrian Trail, which is the trail where you get to ride out across the Elk State Forest on your horses, it s the No. 1 used trail in the entire state of Pennsylvania. There s a reason. It s those elk. There s no doubt about it. The impact from the elk is being felt across Elk County, not just in the Benezette area, Straitiff explained. Elsewhere in Elk County, there s a new hotel in St. Marys and a new bed and breakfast and cottage rental going in Ridgway. Bear Creek Lodge, Cozy Red Camp, Hazelnut Cottage, and Elk Stone Lodge all new, Straitiff said. He also cited the recent openings of restaurants such as Casali s and Wildwoods Bar & Grill as being additional results of the impact of visitors to the region. New events have also sprung up in recent years, Straitiff noted, as he cited the Benezette Bugle 5K, Medix Run Rendezvous, and Ride for Elk. With the continued efforts of the Pennsylvania Game Commission, Keystone Elk Country Alliance, and the Pa. Great Outdoors Visitors Bureau, I don t have any doubt that the popularity of Pennsylvania s elk herd and the people wanting to come and see them will continue to grow, Straitiff said. Thus, we ll attract more visitors to the region, and in return, we ll have a positive impact on the economy across Elk Country.

Tom Wolf and the Republican majority in the Pennsylvania Senate clashed over the issue Wednesday before four state Supreme Court justices in Philadelphia. A divided Commonwealth Court ruled in June the Democratic governor overstepped his authority when he tried to remove the open-records office director appointed by Wolf s predecessor in his last days in office. Wolf later agreed to reinstate Erik Arneson until the governor s appeal is decided. Wolf s lawyers said the governor has inherent power to name a new director. Senate GOP lawyers said the state s Rightto-Know Law gave the director a six-year term to insulate the post from partisan politics. KORB MONUMENTS Since Mary Petrucci

4 4 - The Daily Press O Letters & PINION Guest Commentary The Migrant Crisis: Arms That Welcome, Arms That Kill The flood of people fleeing war and misery is swelling daily, reaching the shores and borders of Europe in a desperate bid for safety. They come from Syria, where a brutal civil war during the past half-decade has killed well over 200,000, and caused the displacement of 12 million people, both inside and outside the country's borders -- half of Syria's population. Other migrants come from sub-saharan Africa, fleeing poverty and conflict. Like many Syrians, these people make their way to Libya, a country now in a state of near anarchy, to venture across the Mediterranean Sea in dangerous, overcrowded boats. Thousands have drowned. Ironically, many of these migrants are running toward the very countries that sold the weapons that are fueling the warfare they are fleeing. Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, speaking of the migrant crisis, said this week at the State of the European Union speech in Strasbourg, France: "I'm not talking about 40,000. I'm not talking about 120,000. It's 160,000. That's the number Europeans have to take in charge and have to take in their arms." Junker, of course, meant by "arms" a protective embrace. But another European with firsthand knowledge of the plight of the refugees takes the word in its other sense: "It is our arms which are also killing and destroying these countries," Annette Groth told us on the "Democracy Now!" news hour. She is a member of the German Parliament and spokeswoman for human rights for Germany's Left Party. She just returned from a trip to Hungary, where she witnessed thousands of migrants stranded at the Budapest train station. "Germany is the thirdbiggest weapons exporter, and we have very good relations with, for instance, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, despite massive protest," she said. "Our government is still delivering arms to Saudi Arabia, [which] is also supporting ISIS, the jihadists" The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) analyzes and reports on global arms trades.

Periodicals postage paid at St. Marys, Pa. noted: "The volume of international transfers of major weapons in was 16 percent higher than in The five biggest exporters in were the United States, Russia, China, Germany and France." The top five recipients of these major arms shipments included Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, two U.S. allies that are, according to widespread reports, offering significant support to ISIS, which is a central antagonist in the civil war in Syria, as well as in Iraq. Add to that the latest news, that Russia is stepping up military aid to the regime of Syria's president, Bashar al-assad, and that the United Kingdom has directly engaged in airstrikes in Syria, and France is preparing to do the same. While many European nations are accepting refugees (the Finnish prime minister has even opened his guesthouse), far outpacing any welcome offered by the Obama administration, none of this will solve the problem. The conflicts in the Middle East must be resolved. But can that happen while the U.S. (and Russia, and Germany, and France) continue their massive arms sales to belligerents in the region? Saudi Arabia's King Salman visited the White House last week, and has secured a massive new infusion of missiles and so-called smart bombs, in addition to the regular arsenal that the U.S. supplies to the oil-rich ally. "There are more arms in the Middle East region than bread," Annette Groth of the German Parliament reflected. "I remember a discussion with an ambassador from this region about three years ago, and he looked at us, other parliamentarians, as well, and he said, 'It is time that the West collects the weapons you have brought us.' Very, very true, and very simple." Amy Goodman is the host of "Democracy Now!," a daily international TV/ radio news hour airing on more than 1,300 stations.

Perhaps our St. Marys residents missed the news release, but the Muscular Dystrophy Association announced back in May that its annual telethon was to be shuttered. After all those shows I expected maybe a farewell show this weekend. There was no show, period. I had to dig around on the MDA website, then I found the May 1, 2015 news release from Roxan Olivas, the editor for the group, she said, "the new realities of television viewing and philanthropic giving" make it the right time to pull the plug. There will be no broadcast this year. She blamed it on things like the so called, Ice Bucket Challenge, changing times, etc. The decision to end our beloved telethon was not made lightly, MDA President and CEO Steven M. Derks explained. In the last few years, the show was adjusted to reflect changes in viewership and donor patterns, and last summer s Ice Bucket Challenge once again affirmed for us that today s families, donors and sponsors are looking to us for new, creative and organic ways to support our mission. In 2011, they lost Jerry. Harlan Beagley Daily Press Publisher Commentary Photo courtesy of MDA Frank Sinatra orchestrated one of the most surprising and touching moments in television history when he reunited estranged partners Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis on the 1976 Telethon. He hosted the telethon up to his retirement in May of that year, just a few months from the 2011 show (again, no farewell). I m sure that was the beginning of the end. In 2011, the telethon was reduced to just six hours, and it became a three-hour prime-time special for 2012, it was renamed the MDA Show of Strength Telethon. In 2013, and last year, the MDA Show of Strength became a two-hour special. I grew up in the 60s and 70s in Las Vegas, Jerry s Kids-- Labor Day telethon was the biggest Today in History Today is Thursday, Sept. 10, the 253rd day of There are 112 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Sept. 10, 1955, the Western series "Gunsmoke," starring James Arness as Marshal Matt Dillon, began a 20-season run on CBS Television. On this date: In 1608, John Smith was elected president of the Jamestown colony council in Virginia. In 1846, Elias Howe received a patent for his sewing machine. In 1919, New York City welcomed home Gen. John J. Pershing and 25,000 soldiers who'd served in the U.S. First Division during World War I. In 1935, Sen. Huey P. Long died in Baton Rouge, two days after being shot in the Louisiana state Capitol, allegedly by Dr. Carl Weiss. In 1939, Canada declared war on Germany. In 1945, Vidkun Quisling was sentenced to death in Norway for collaborating with the Nazis (he was executed by firing squad in October 1945). In 1963, 20 black students entered Alabama public schools following a standoff between federal authorities and Gov. George C. Wallace. In 1987, Pope John Paul II arrived in Miami, where he was welcomed by President Ronald Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan as he began a 10-day tour of the United States. In 1991, the Senate Judiciary Committee opened hearings on the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court. Ten years ago: Cadaver dogs and boatloads of forensic workers fanned out across New Orleans to collect the corpses left behind by Hurricane Katrina; cleanup crews towed away abandoned cars and even began readying a hotel for reopening. Kim Clijsters won her first major title, cruising to a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Mary Pierce at the U.S. Open. Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, the singer and guitarist who'd built a 50-year career playing blues, country, jazz and Cajun music, died in Orange, Texas, at age 81. One year ago: During a prime-time address, President Barack Obama announced he was authorizing airstrikes inside Syria for the first time along with expanded strikes in Iraq as part of a "steady, relentless effort" to root out Islamic State extremists. Missouri executed Earl Ringo Jr. for a 1998 robbery and double murder. Richard Kiel, 74, the towering actor best known for portraying the steel-toothed villain "Jaws" in a pair of James Bond movies, died in Fresno, California. Today's Birthdays: World Golf Hall of Famer Arnold Palmer is 86. Actor Philip Baker Hall is 84. Actor Greg Mullavey is 82. Country singer Tommy Overstreet is 78. Jazz vibraphonist Roy Ayers is 75.

Rock singermusician David Lowery of the big telethons, (other than PBS, can you think of another?) but also it was a family tradition for the baby boomer s generation and us TV kids. The TV was always on and for almost 24 hours, if you dared to stay up all night to watch. Jerry Lewis was as much a part of Labor Day as mom s potato salad. I remember one year, my sister Linda and my mother Kay were part of a local component of the broadcasted show. They were on at 2 a.m. or some odd hour with all the other local Las Vegas talent. If you were up to the challenge, you tried to stay awake from start to finish. The telethon started Sunday and ended on Labor Day lasting 21 ½ hours. If you fell asleep, you risked perhaps not seeing some famous band or TV star on the tube. The stars were real and each year more and more came out. The MDA website didn t bother listing my high school class or my sister singing or even my mother. But here are some of the stars who made it happen: Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, The Osmonds, Carol Burnett, Johnny Cash, Woody Allen, Stevie Wonder, Garth Brooks, Eddie Murphy, Jackie Gleason, John Lennon, Billy Crystal, Jerry Seinfeld, William Shatner, Cher, The Jackson 5, Milton Berle, Dolly Parton, The Rolling Stones, Robin Williams, Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Mickey Rooney, Old Willie Nelson, The Spice Girls. This list could go on and on and on. I guess the real loss is to the cause itself, the Muscular Dystrophy Association-- they raised millions each year, $2 billion altogether. Their website hosts a link where you can still donate if you want. Just go to MDA. org then click away a few bucks. No music, no Jerry, no BIG BOARD but, I m sure it will find its way to help those kids. And that s really what it was about. Right? Lewis used to sing You ll Never Walk Alone at the close of telethons. That s fitting, Lewis is 89 this year. My wife and I still watch those old black and white films of his when they come on the classic channel. Like many of you, after I had my own kids, I stopped watching somewhere along the way, for me, it wasn t the same excitement after we moved from Vegas to Washington. It truly died of attrition, Jerry was the show. It wasn t the Ice Bucket. Harlan Beagley, Publisher, Daily Press (Cracker) is 55. Actor Sean O'Bryan is 52. Actor Raymond Cruz is 51.

(AP) The New England Patriots fourth Super Bowl banner will be unveiled at Gillette Stadium on Thursday night. The fans will have their first chance to shower quarterback Tom Brady with adulation since a federal judge vacated the four-game suspension he was handed in the NFL s botched Deflategate investigation. Oh, yeah, they ll play an actual football game, too. Seven months after claiming the franchise s fourth NFL title, the Patriots return to the field for the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the league s annual kickoff game. Even for a team that s made its reputation on avoiding distractions, the competition will provide a welcome relief from a summer of talk about deflated footballs and the ideal gas law. It s time for me to do my job, Brady said this week when he spoke to reporters for the first time since the news conference for his third Super Bowl MVP award. Anything that s happened over the last seven the Bradford Owls by a score last Friday night while the Falcons lost to the Clarion Bobcats by a 46-0 score Saturday. That game was postponed last Friday due to weather concerns. The Crusaders of coach Tony Gerg bring a 1-0 record into Friday s game. Elk defeated the Coudersport Falcons by a 27-6 score last Saturday night. The Gators lost at score to the Curwensville Golden Tide last weekend in their season opener. Other games being played in the area this week include: months really wasn t my job. This is what my job is, is to go out there and try to be a great leader for our team, to try to go out and execute the plays that are called and execute them at a high level. That s where my focus is. The victory for Brady and the players union left Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger with mixed emotions. I still have a ton of respect for Tom. I think he is the best in the business. If you want to be the best you have to beat the best, he said.

Here are some other things to look for in Thursday night s game: BANNER NIGHT: The Super Bowl banner has already been raised, but it remains covered. The three previous championship banners have been moved, and the Patriots removed the one dedicated to their 16-0 regular season in Team president Jonathan Kraft said during the broadcast of the Patriots exhibition finale that the team would have postponed the ceremony if Brady was suspended for the game. Kraft said the team planned for an alternate banner that would note some of Brady s accomplishments, such as four NFL titles and three Super Bowl MVPs. Rest assured, Super Bowl XLIX s banner was not being raised if Tom Brady was not on the field, Kraft said. He needed to be here the first game that that banner existed in the stadium. COMMISSIONER OMISSION: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, the focus of Patriots fans anger during the Deflategate investigation, will skip the opener. He believes that the focus should be on the game on the field and the Lady Dutch jr. high basketball squads open season The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch junior high basketball teams opened their season Tuesday by hosting the Bradford Area squads. The eighth grade Lady Dutch lost a contest while the seventh grade won by a 38-8 score. In the eighth grade game, Bradford took a 14-8 first quarter lead. They outscored St. Marys 4-3 in the second quarter for an halftime advantage. The Lady Dutch ousted Bradford in the third period. Bradford outscored St. Marys 12-7 in the fourth quarter to win the game Defensively we had our ups and downs in the first half as well as the second half. Lauren E., Megan Q., Petey S. and Summer H. did well defensively, said eighth grade coach Dan Hoohuli. Leading rebounders were Saige H. Courteney P., Maddie B., Petey S. and Allison B. SMA scoring: Maddy D. 3, Megan Q. 11, Lauren E. 6, Allison B. 7 and Saige H. 2. In the seventh grade game, St. Marys took a 10-2 first quarter lead and outscored Bradford 6-2 in the second quarter for a 16-4 halftime lead. St. Marys shut out Bradford 14-0 in the third quarter and outscored Bradford 8-4 in the fourth quarter to win the game It was a very good defensive effort that spearheaded the win, said seventh grade coach Bob Swanson. Kyla Johnson, Lilia Lion and Sam Hayes played well defensively. Leading rebounders were Maria Kunes, Sam Hayes ands Lilia Lion. SMA scoring: Kyla Johnson 4, Janelle Krug 4, Lilia Lion 4, Maria Kunes 2, Sam Vavala 6, Sam Hayes 14, Jade Lindenmuth 4. festivities celebrating the Patriots Super Bowl championship, league spokesman Brian McCarthy said. Goodell has attended the other kickoff games, but does not have a function there that requires him to attend. IN A RUSH: The Steelers promoted longtime linebackers coach Keith Butler to defensive coordinator in January and tasked him with restoring some bite to a pass rush that has been largely benign the last four years. The results during the preseason were ECC golfers drop match to Rovers By Jim Mulcahy Staff Writer The Elk County Catholic Crusader golf team saw their record fall to 2-2 on the season as they dropped a match to the Brockway Rovers Wednesday afternoon at the Owens-Brockway Golf Course. Medalist on the day was Brockway s Branden Martini with a 42. For Elk Catholic, Jonah Meyer and Gabe Kraus both carded 47s. Tyler Wehler had a 49 with Ryan Newton carding a 53. Brady Schneider and Ross Martin both had 55s. Behind Martini for uneven at best, though Butler remains confident even though the Steelers are just 2-7 against Brady during his career and have never beaten him on the road, losing the three games in Foxboro by an average of 20.3 points, including a mauling in You don t have to cover people if you get to the quarterback, Butler said. Can we get to Brady before he throws the ball? We ll see. We can t let him throw where he wants to. Brockway was Seth Shugarts with a 44 followed by Coery Carr 46, Kris Potts 49, Angelo Inzana 51 and Jared Rogos 56. In exhibition, Nathan Schlosser had a 56 and Nathan Dezanet had a 63 for ECC. For Brockway, Austin Kuntz had a 50 and Anthony Clark a 51. It was a disappointing day. We played very poorly. There was no real bright spot as I thought we would have had a much better showing on a very straight forward course, said ECCHS coach Aaron Straub. Elk Catholic will return to action Tuesday when they travel to Ridgway for a 3:30 p.m. match.

Forced to play in Louis Armstrong Stadium because of two lengthy women s quarterfinals plus a 1 1/2-hour rain delay earlier, Wawrinka eliminated 15th-seeded Kevin Anderson of South Africa 6-4, 6-4, 6-0. The match took 1 hour, 47 minutes in all, but the third set, in particular, was about as lopsided as possible: Wawrinka won 24 of the 29 points. Wawrinka solved the 6-foot-8 Anderson s serve, converting 5 of 8 break points. Anderson had been broken a total of four times through his first four matches combined. For sure, Wawrinka said, the best match of the tournament for me. Most of his career, Wawrinka has lived in the shadow of his older and far more successful countryman, Federer.

Votto goes wild in argument, Pirates beat Reds on Kang slam CINCINNATI (AP) Reds star Joey Votto went ballistic after a called strike and got ejected, with teammates and even an umpire needing to hold him back Wednesday night in Cincinnati s 5-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Jung Ho Kang hit Pittsburgh s first grand slam of the season, a tiebreaking shot in the sixth inning. The Pirates hold the top spot in the NL wild-card race. Votto was tossed by plate umpire Bill Welke while the Reds were trying to rally in the eighth. The 2010 NL MVP argued a called strike two and slammed down his batting helmet, hollering and gesturing as he went nose-to-nose with Welke. The dispute quickly escalated and Reds teammates intervened to restrain Votto, with first base umpire Laz Diaz helping prevent the big hitter from getting back at Welke. Cincinnati manager Bryan Price also was ejected. J.A. Happ (5-1) struck out a season-high 10. He won his fifth straight start, pitching into the seventh inning and giving up three hits. Mark Melancon worked the ninth for his major league-leading 44th save. Keyvius Sampson (2-4) took the loss. Votto was ejected after the Reds had scored once in the eighth to make it 5-3. There were runners on first and second with one out at the time, and Ramon Cabrera batted for Votto and singled. It was 1-all when Gregory Polanco led off the Pittsburgh sixth with a single and stole second. Andrew McCutchen drew a one-out walk and Aramis Ramirez loaded the bases with a sharp single. Kang s homer was the seventh allowed by Cincinnati this season. McCutchen had a sacrifice fly in the first. Todd Frazier hit his 31st homer in the second. It was his sixth since he won the All-Star Home Run Derby. He added a sacrifice fly in the seventh. TRAINER S ROOM Pirates: RHP A.J. Burnett will be reinstated from the disabled list in time to start the opener of a fourgame series against Milwaukee at PNC Park. He has been sidelined since July 31 with elbow inflammation. Reds: INF/OF Kris Negron will need seasonending surgery to repair a shoulder injury he suffered while making a diving backhanded catch in left field on Tuesday in his first game since being recalled from Triple-A Louisville. At least it was on a sweet play, Negron said. UP NEXT Pirates: Pittsburgh opens an eight-game home Central Pa. Youth Football League stand with four games against the Brewers, who swept a three-game series against the Pirates in Milwaukee earlier this month. RHP A.J. Burnett (8-5, 3.06) is scheduled to make his first start since July 30, the day before he went on the disabled list with right elbow inflammation.

A rain date of Oct. 3 has been set for this event. Orsich, who was a familiar face at the speedway in the early days as a scorer, returned to the track in its reopening season of 2000 as the track manager, and as the track s flagman during the 2003 and 2004 seasons. Orsich was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2003 and battled the disease until his passing on Sept. 21, 2004, just three days after the final race of that season. Orsich was instrumental on getting the Bird flying again, and was a very popular figure with fellow employees, race teams, race owners, and the many fans that attended races at the track. His name is still mentioned to this day as being very fair with everyone. The Mick Orsich Memorial is the track s way of giving back, and saying thank you to a great asset at the speedway. The highlight of the evening s racing program will be the 35-lap late model feature including both steel block and aluminum block late models. The rules are opened up for this race, but a car must weigh 2,300 pounds with drivers after the main event. Heat races and consolation event(s) will determine the starting field for this feature. Heat races winners will also run a dash for cash to set the starting front rows of this event. The winner of the race will take home the top prize of $2,000 with a $150 to start the A- main. Other drivers who don t make the race will receive $100 in tow fee. Lap money will also be paid to the leader of each individual lap. Sixteen late model drivers will also compete in the popular King of the Giving You Something to Smile About! K & C DENTURE CENTERS, INC. Dentures Starting As Low As $ 195 per Expires plate Dr. J.

Board The Daily Press7 Bell, Gates among 26 suspended NFL players NEW YORK (AP) Several teams will be missing key players when the NFL season kicks off this weekend. Most notable among the 26 players suspended by the league are All-Pro running back Le Veon Bell, who will sit out Pittsburgh s first two games, and veteran tight end Antonio Gates of San Diego, out for four games. Bell had his suspension for violating the substance abuse policy (DUI and drug possession arrest in August 2014) reduced from three games. His teammate, wide receiver Martavis Bryant, is banned for four weeks, also for substance abuse. Gates, one of the most prolific players at his position in league history, is docked four games under the performance enhancers policy. In my 12 years in the NFL, I have taken tremendous pride in upholding the integrity of the Hummingbird Speedway readies for 10th annual Mick Orsich Memorial Race Hill event with the winner receiving $400, a trophy from Seneca Transportation, and a case of motor oil from Shortway Services. Second place receives $200, while third and fourth places get $100. Twenty four lucky fans will also be included in on some cash money as a drawing will be held for a hat autographed by each starter of the late model feature. The fan with the winner autographed hat will get to go trackside after the race to claim their cash and meet the driver. Last year saw Chris Farrell of Clearfield become the first two-time winner of the event, but might not be able to attend this year s event due to family obligations. Other past winners of this event include, Jason Witherite, Sammy Stile, Luke Hoffner, Denton Boyer, Steve Everhart, Dwayne Brooks, and Denny Fenton. Street stocks, pure stocks, and frontwheel drive four-cylinders will also be on the card this evening with Hummingbird Speedway rules applying to these three divisions. All cars will also be brought onto the track before the racing starts and will run a number of four wide laps in a salute to Mick. Notes: Gates for this NFL shield and all that it entails, Gates said when his suspension was announced in July. He indicated he was unaware of what caused the positive test. I have always believed that ignorance is no excuse when it comes to these issues, and I take full responsibility for my actions. Also out are three standout defensive linemen: the Cowboys Greg Hardy (personal conduct, four games), the Jets Sheldon Richardson (substance abuse, four games) and the Bills Marcell Dareus (substance abuse, one game). Richardson could face another suspension, as well. He pleaded not guilty Monday to resisting arrest and traffic charges stemming from his arrest in July in Missouri. Three players have suspensions that could last the entire season. Cleveland WR Josh Gordon (substance abuse, indefinite), Miami DE-LB Dion Jordan (substance abuse, season), and Arizona LB Daryl Washington (substance abuse, indefinite). Other likely starters who won t be available include Green Bay DT Letroy Guion (substance abuse, three games) and DE Datone Jones (substance abuse, one game); Dallas LB Rolando Mc- Clain (substance abuse, four games); Kansas City CB Sean Smith (substance abuse, three games); and Denver safety T.J. Ward (personal conduct, one game). Bell s absence could be particularly damaging for Pittsburgh, which lost a wild-card playoff game to Baltimore in January when Bell was injured. Although the Steelers have a dynamic passing game with Ben Roethlisberger throwing to Antonio Brown, Bell is, well, a bell cow for the offense. Add in the loss of event will open at 3 p.m. with racing at 6 p.m. Admission is $15 general admission with children age 6-10 is $7 and under age 5 free, but must be accompanied by an adult. Pit fee is $25. There will also be a $50 registration fee for late models only. For the emerging Bryant and it figures to put a major crimp in Pittsburgh s offense in games with the Patriots and 49ers. Hardy s case has been the most fluid of any of the suspended players. Then with Carolina, he was on the commissioner s exempt list, unable to play but paid his full salary of $13 million, for 15 games. An arbitrator reduced his original suspension of 10 games to four games upon appeal. Hardy had been convicted in a domestic violence trial in North Carolina last year, but the conviction was thrown out when his accuser could not be located to testify. Dallas signed him in the offseason to a oneyear, $13.1 million deal loaded with incentives. The Cowboys envision Hardy as the pass-rushing piece to solidify their defense. more information visit the tracks website at www. hummingbirdspeedway. com or call the track office at (814) Hummingbird Speedway management appreciates everyone for their support, and they hope you can attend this big event.

9 (c) 2015 King Features Syndicate, Inc. ANNIE S MAILBOX COPYRIGHT 2001 CREATORS SINDICATE, INC. Dear Annie: My husband has decided to plan a trip to a major theme park. It was supposed to include the two of us, plus his three adult children and their families. Here s the problem: When I could not take the time off from work, his children invited their recently widowed mother. Although we have a civil relationship with her, I do not feel this is appropriate. Unfortunately, my husband doesn t share my concerns and is planning to book the trip anyway. I considered giving him some sort of ultimatum, but I doubt it would change his mind. My main concerns are his ex s ability to twist the truth and what others may think about the arrangement. Any advice? -- Left Behind in Pennsylvania Dear Left Behind: Your husband should never have agreed to this without your OK. Instead, the appropriate thing to do would be to rearrange the trip for a date when you were available. Nonetheless, your only concern now should be whether he can be trusted to take a trip with his ex. If so, you can weather this. If you can take off a couple of days and join them for part of the trip, we recommend it. But please ignore the gossip. If others question the arrangement, simply laugh and say, I wasn t worried about that for a second. Dear Annie: Your response to No One To Share This With was not strong enough. She said her husband was viewing porn. I know how she feels. I recently discovered that my 57-year-old husband, to whom I ve been married for 34 years, was viewing Internet porn. It took me three months to get the full truth from him, because he was so ashamed. He started by looking at pictures of women in various stages of undress and it quickly escalated. We always had a loving relationship, but during this time I noticed he was more distant and less affectionate. When I questioned him, things would improve, but only temporarily. When I discovered his porn viewing, I was humiliated and hurt. He broke my trust. It is not OK to view porn. It is infidelity. It is addictive. It is disrespectful to your spouse. It sets up unrealistic expectations. It s selfish. I am trim and attractive, but at age 54, I cannot compete with 20-year-olds. My husband regrets what he BLONDIE has done. He is sorry about how his actions hurt me. He has taken full responsibility, saying I did absolutely nothing to cause him to turn to porn. He voluntarily surrendered his computer and smartphone so I could set restrictions keeping him from accessing those websites. We immediately started counseling individually and as a couple, and I am working on forgiving him. Porn viewing should not be tolerated and should be addressed immediately. -- Rebuilding Our Relationship in LA. Dear L.A.: Spouses have different tolerance levels for porn. The problem these days is that porn is not only easily accessed on one s computer or phone, but that it is also The Daily Press9 interactive. It interferes with one s relationships in real time. We re glad you and your husband are seriously working on this. Annie s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

You are seeing an incredible story of heroism, a piece of American history playing out in front of you as you are walking through this exhibit that gives perspective on the day, said Felt, president of Families of Flight 93. One video traces the aircraft s erratic movements in real time, fading to black at the moment of impact. Bits and pieces of the debris field are displayed under glass. Picking up a handset, visitors can listen to recordings of the voice messages that two passengers and a flight attendant left for family members minutes before the plane went down. I m on United 93 and it s been hijacked by terrorists who say they have a bomb, passenger Linda Gronlund, calling her sister Elsa, begins matterof-factly. Apparently they have flown a couple of planes into the World Trade Center already and it looks like they re going to take this one down as well. She breaks down sobbing: Mostly I just wanted to say I love you and I m going to miss you. SHANKSVILLE (AP) Gordon Felt knew his brother was sitting directly in front of two of the terrorists who hijacked United Airlines Flight 93. But it never really hit me, Felt said, until he walked through the new, immersive visitor center at the Flight 93 National Memorial. There it was, the seating chart with his sibling s name on it: Edward Felt, first class, second row. It kind of came crashing back, said Felt, whose brother took part in a passenger revolt that brought the plane down in a southwestern Pennsylvania field. Those feelings that were always there the emotion, the anger, the sense of loss really are drawn back to the surface. Sitting on a hill overlooking the crash site near Shanksville, the $26 million visitor center complex will be dedicated and opened to the public on Thursday, one day before the annual 9/11 observances in Pennsylvania, New York and Washington. Victims family members got a private tour on Wednesday. Fourteen years in the making, the center uses photos, video, artifacts and interactive displays to tell the story of Flight 93, the only jetliner among the four commandeered by terrorists that failed to reach its intended target on Sept. 11, Two planes crashed into the World Trade Center towthe following winning ers in New York and one numbers were drawn on slammed into the Penta- Wednesday in the Penngon outside Washington. sylvania Lottery: More than 3,000 people DAY died.

The center s stark, 40foot exterior concrete walls are split by a black granite walkway that marks the doomed plane s flight path. Visitors are led through the exhibits to an outdoor platform that offers a commanding view of the crash site and surrounding hills. Debby Borza, whose daughter, Deora Bodley, 20, was one of the youngest passengers aboard Flight 93, said she hopes the visitor center will inspire. The view I come from now is what s available for the visitors, the difference that it ll make in their lives, the courage that they ll find, the fortitude, she said after touring the site. They ll be moved to take on things that they may have thought were only a dream in their lives. The money for the visitor center complex was raised from 120,000 private donors, along with contributions from the state and the federal government. Officials project attendance will rise from 300,000 per year to around 500,000. Development of the Flight 93 National Memorial is nearly complete, with only the planned Tower of Voices, a 93-foot structure with 40 wind chimes, still to be built.
