Shell: We’ll give $69M for new water facilities Company expected to pay nearly half the costs of a water authority project By David Taube dtaube@timesonline.com
CENTER TWP. — Shell Chemicals will pay for nearly all of the costs of a Center Township
Water Authority project for new water intake and treatment facilities. The authority agreed to the contract Tuesday, and the estimated $72 million project
will replace existing drinking wells and create both a temporary and a permanent water intake and treatment facility, located near the Beaver Valley Mall. If the company goes forward with a multibillion-dollar petrochemical facility at the former Horsehead Corp. site, Shell could end up using the new water facilities, but that

After 9/11, Ambridge native felt moved to serve
By David Taube ALIQUIPPA — Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa officials plan to have a state ethics commission review whether a former chairman of the board acted properly or not. The board voted 3-1, with board member Aisha Gilliam dissenting, to have authority Solicitor Myron Sainovich refer the matter to the Pennsylvania State Ethics Commission, board member Matthew Mottes said, adding he also planned to reach out to the commission. Fort Wayne, Ind.based school Indiana Tech billed the authority more than $11,000 between January and July, according to a five-year review, Sainovich said. The money paid for some of the doctorate
amount would be far less than 10 percent of total water sold by the authority, said Ned Mitrovich, authority engineer. He stressed, though, that usage was still preliminary. Authority solicitor Ronald DiGiorno said contracts for the work will be paid for directly by Shell, and the authority will

Ambridge native served in support of war on terror, continues to serve those affected by PTSD veterans, from a1
Charleston in S. C. Then 24, Horchak-Jevsjukova was with her sergeant “when 9/11 hit.” “Everyone was going crazy,” she remembered. Charleston was an air mobility command center, and the planes there were going to be called into action. “We knew those planes were going to be deploying out of there pretty quickly,” she said. “My chief said, ‘Airman, do you want to deploy?’” At the time, she hadn’t yet reached the right level to do so, but he told her she did by saying “yes.” “That’s how it happens. You’re scared and excited,” she said. They gave her weapons and put her with others on a plane to go to an “undisclosed location” in the Middle East, and she was in the thick of things from there. The U.S. operation was initially called Operation Infinite Justice, but it quickly became Operation Enduring Freedom, which started in earnest 14 years ago Wednesday. Serving in it, and in ensuing operations overseas in support of the war on terror, changed her. Now she is working to help those affected by their service to put their lives back together, but that’s getting ahead of the story. Horchak-Jevsjukova, 38, is an Ambridge native and a 1995 graduate of Ambridge Area High School. She joined the Air Force in 2001, and her service was marked by the U.S. response to 9/11. She had wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement, which is why she joined as a member of the Air Force’s security forces. During her first deployment, she remembered flying in a C-130 that did a combat-style landing at the location on the Saudi peninsula where they would be based. That meant the plane spiraled to the ground instead of using a traditional approach to the air field. Once on the ground, crew members were told to exit and prepare to lay down suppressive fire in case of attack. “And I just remember getting off the plane and laying down on the flight line to make sure it was secure, and I said, ‘Guys, I think I’m going to be sick,’” she said. She laughs about getting sick now, and no one gave her grief for it. Afterward, she and her
squadron set up an air base and worked with the Oman military for more than four months. “There (were) a lot of things that were going on there, a lot of things I can’t talk about,” she said. After that tour, HorchakJevsjukova returned stateside for a couple of weeks. She was going to redeploy to Afghanistan, but that mission was halted. She ended up in Pakistan and then to a different, “undisclosed location” before she returned. By the time of her next deployment, to Iraq in 2003, the way the military world worked had changed. “Life as we knew it in the Air Force had changed significantly,” she said. In addition to being a policing body, security forces were also ground forces, she said. “We became an expeditionary force,” she said. She was sent to Kirkuk, where there was a barebones base that was being set up by coalition forces including her future husband, Vitalijs Jevsjukovs, a Latvian who served in the Latvian army and also served two tours of duty in Bosnia pre-9/11. Jevsjukovs (his name is spelled differently because of gender), remembers how bare the base of operations was. There was an army tent, a medical tent and a Latvian army tent, and that was about all, he said. The force worked to build the base in 2003, and Brandy arrived in July 2003 to help secure the area. It provided security in the air towers and at the base. She remembered pulling 16-hour shifts in the tower. “We were very shortmanned over there,” she said. They also helped lay barbed “C-wire” to secure the base, a job that left them “cut up and bloody,” she said. The force was under almost constant bombardment from rocket-propelled grenades, and air-raid sirens were going off all the time. As a member of the security force, it was Horchak-Jevsjukova’s job to get others into a safe location during an attack, then try to secure the area, she said. It was a high-stress, high-adrenaline job, and during that time, HorchakJevsjukova and “V” struck up a relationship as they worked together. “We saw a lot of things,” that were disturbing, Horchak-Jevsjukova said. “It was very intense in Iraq

in 2003. There were a lot of people dying, people going out who didn’t come back.” “I was a chatterbox,” Horchak-Jevsjukova said. “V” didn’t speak much English, but they shared the same military language.
“We just formed a really close friendship,” she said. When she finished her deployment, she maintained the friendship, even as she dealt with the after-effects of serving, namely the post-traumatic
stress disorder that is a big problem for today’s veterans. “You can’t come down from the heightened awareness,” she said. She had trouble adjusting to life here, she said. She went through counseling and was on medication, but those things didn’t seem to work. “I tried to tighten my bootstraps,” she said. But she continued to battle PTSD even as her relationship with Jevsjukovs blossomed. “You really aren’t the same” after battle, she said, and she had to learn how to deal with things. They married in 2006, and she had a good job at a company back home but still faced the lingering effects of PTSD. Growing up, she enjoyed boxing, and in May, she and Jevsjukovs took that love and started the Will of the Warrior Program and Warrior’s Call Boxing, a gym in Harmony Township that is designed to help veterans and first-responders deal with PTSD. Since, she’s rebounded and enjoys being able to help others. “It does get better,” she said. Battling PTSD is a big problem, and it’s one that’s not necessarily being addressed by the
powers-that-be. “When we come out, we’re in the shadows,” she said. “You just can’t find your place anymore.” The problem — dealing with the mundane travails of life after being through life-and-death situations that make those travails seem insignificant — is tough. Counseling can help only so much, and medication only masks the problem. Turning to drinking and drugs isn’t the answer, but finding something to do, like boxing and working out, can be, HorchakJevsjukova said. “At least I can get that anxiety out,” she said. They’re working on getting nonprofit status and hope to expand the activities at the gym to provide everything from counseling to camaraderie to assistance in finding a civilian job. Looking back, Horchak-Jevsjukova is glad she served and glad she’s able to continue to serve by operating the gym. “I don’t think I would change anything. Everything happens for a reason,” she said. “I think for us going through this together ... at least we know that we’ve gone through all of this. ... I think it’s a blessing we were able to go through it and come out OK.”

These are Center Township Water Authority water towers off Brodhead Road in Center Township. Shell officials have announced plans to pay for improvements to the authority system, including a new water treatment plant near the Beaver Valley Mall.
Shell expected to pay $69M to upgrade public water facilities shell, from a1
own the new facilities and related property. “We get the bills; those are forwarded to Shell,” Mitrovich said. The authority had decades-old drinking wells next to the Horsehead plant, and it had planned to add capacity, but when Shell came into the picture, the authority began evaluating other options to avoid having them by a possible petrochemical plant, Mitrovich said. The authority has been preparing the site, and it has obtained most of the environmental permits necessary through the state, but there are some still remaining before construction can begin, Mitrovich said. The temporary facility could be in use by March, Mitrovich said. As part of the authority project, the temporary facility could cost about $25 million, according to the contract, and Mitrovich said it would last a few years. Parts of the facility would be reused or sold, Mitrovich said. That would make way for the permanent facility, which could last 50 to 100 years, he said. A representative for Shell, Kevin Lanier, was present at a water authority meeting Tuesday, and authority board members asked him what the likelihood was of the petrochemical plant becoming a reality. “I’ve worked on many projects, and you just never know,” Lanier responded. The wells will be relocated regardless of whether Shell decides to build the proposed petrochemical facility, company spokesman Michael Marr said in a statement.
A representative for Shell, Kevin Lanier, was present at a water authority meeting Tuesday, and authority board members asked him what the likelihood was of the petrochemical plant becoming a reality. “I’ve worked on many projects, and you just never know,” Lanier responded. Shell bought the former zinc-smelting property this summer for $13.5 million after acquiring other nearby property from residents and businesses. The company also had paperwork with the state showing it could spend more than $40 million to upgrade and reroute power lines, among other work. The water authority will use about $3 million from a reserve it built up as it had prepared to improve its drinking wells. That money will be used with Shell’s money for the water facility upgrades. DiGiorno said board members do not expect rates to be affected because of the infrastructure improvements. The authority serves approximately 4,000 customers in Center and parts of Aliquippa and Hopewell Township.

Ethics officials could weigh in on issues water, from a1
coursework for then-chairman Kenneth Thornton. The board previously voted to approve covering some of Thornton’s coursework at the school with the understanding it could help with management of the authority. The state ethics commission could rule Thornton may need to repay the authority, or the commission could find there were no ethical violations, Sainovich said. Coursework to help the authority, such as management, can be acceptable, Sainovich said. Whether Thornton’s program in global leadership applied to management could be an issue the state ethics commission evaluates, Sainovich said. If coursework didn’t benefit the authority, as Thornton has maintained, that could mean the payments could be considered additional compensation, Sainovich said. That could be an issue, he said, because additional compensation for authority board members cannot go into effect until after a subsequent term of a board member, such as after a person is reappointed. Thornton and another board member, Patricia Grimes, recently resigned, and they were not present during a Tuesday board meeting. Among his concerns, Thornton said in his resignation letter that he could no longer serve given “verbal and emotional abuse” that board members have underwent during the past few months. Many people have criticized his doctorate tuition payments as well as how Thornton was considered as a candidate for general manager for the authority. “(It) has taken every possible restraint for me to retain my integrity and professionalism and not stoop to the level of my critics,” Thornton’s letter said. “I sincerely hope that they have not confused my silence with weakness,” the letter said. The authority accepted the resignations of Thornton and Grimes Tuesday, and it was also joined by a new authority board member appointed by Aliquippa Council, Robert Steffes.
Wolf seeks income, drilling tax hikes to end budget impasse By Mark Scolforo The Associated Press
HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Wolf put a revamped tax plan before state lawmakers on Tuesday, lowering his proposed income tax increase to a half-point, cutting the size of the gas extraction tax he wants and eliminating a plan to raise the sales tax rate. State House members received details less than a day before they will have to cast votes on the freshman governor’s bid to end a state budget impasse that’s already dragged into a fourth month. Wolf’s proposal also includes cuts for seniors and disabled people in the property taxes that fund public schools. The administration said the new money will close the deficit, add about $400 million annually for basic education and boost spending for county human services programs. It remained to be seen if the administration can line up the 102 votes needed for House passage, which would require considerable Republican support in a chamber with just 84 Democrats. House Republican Leader Dave Reed, R-Indiana, said none of his members have told him they will vote yes. “I don’t believe they have 84 Democrats and I don’t believe there are a whole lot of Republicans lining up to vote for it, either,” Reed told reporters. Reed and Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, R-Centre, offered to hold votes on Wolf’s proposal as a way to demonstrate it lacks sufficient support in the Legislature so the focus can shift to some other approach that can pass. “At some point, we’ve got to vote somebody off the island, and if it’s going to be broad-based tax increases, so be it,” Reed said. Rep. Joe Markosek of Allegheny County, the ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, said he expected his members to unanimously support the governor’s new approach. “I think most of our members understand that we have to do something,” Markosek said. “We’re facing horrendous
T
A quick look at Gov. Wolf’s revised tax agenda A comparison of Gov.Tom Wolf ’s newly revised tax agenda and what he proposed in his budget address in March: PERSONAL INCOME TAX — Original plan: Increased from 3.07 percent to 3.7 percent. Revised plan: Increase rate from 3.07 percent to 3.57 percent. NATURAL GAS — Original: 5 percent tax on value plus 4.7 cents per 1,000 cubic feet. Revised: 3.5 percent tax on value plus 4.7 cents per 1,000 cubic feet.This would continue the present impact fee. SALES TAX — Original: Increased rate from 6 percent to 6.6 percent in most of the state and extended tax to services and other transactions. Revised: Not in Wolf’s proposal. CIGARETTE TAXES — Original: Raised per-pack tax to $2.60 from $1.60, extend a 40 percent wholesale tax to sales of cigars, smokeless tobacco and electronic cigarettes. Revised: Not in Wolf’s proposal. CORPORATE INCOME TAX — Original: Lowered tax rate from 9.99 percent to 4.99 percent over two years, closed loophole that allowed businesses based in other states to avoid the tax on their Pennsylvania operations. Revised: Not in Wolf’s proposal. CAPITAL STOCK & FRANCHISE TAX — Original: Eliminated at end of this year. Revised: Not in Wolf’s proposal. BANK SHARES TAX — Original: Raised from 0.80 percent to 1.25 percent. Current: Not in Wolf’s proposal.

cuts.” In the Capitol on Tuesday afternoon, Wolf declined to say how his hunt for GOP votes was going. Under Wolf’s plan, the state income tax rate would increase from 3.07 to 3.57 percent, while the natural gas drilling tax would be 3.5 percent, plus 4.7 cents per thousand cubic feet. The state’s existing impact fee on gas drilling, which is targeted to areas where the activity occurs, would be untouched. Wolf would cancel a provision in existing law that ends the impact fee if a severance tax is enacted. The administration said the tax package would raise more than $1.4 billion for the fiscal year that started July 1, and more than $2.4 billion next year, enough to balance the budget this year and next. Senate Republican spokeswoman Jennifer Kocher said the votes aren’t there in that chamber to pass what would be a 16 percent increase in the income tax, but leaders remain committed to bring it up
if it gets out of the House on Wednesday. “It’s a mystery as to why (Wolf) is doubling down on the income tax when that is the portion that, we expressed to him since March, that we simply do not have the support” to raise, she said. An estimated 216,000 seniors and 31,000 households with disabled residents would see their property taxes eliminated, bringing the new statewide total to 331,000 households that would not have to pay the despised levies. Wolf dropped a proposal to increase the Pennsylvania sales tax rate, currently 6 percent in much of the state, to 6.6 percent. And he is no longer seeking an expansion of the list of items the sale tax covers that he had previously supported. He also did not include proposals he previously supported for new cigarette taxes and for higher taxes on banks that would have accompanied cuts to the corporate net income tax rate and a broadening of its reach.

ERROR CODE European data sharing pact with U.S. ruled invalid By Pan Pylas The associated Press
LUXEMBOURG— Facebook and thousands of other companies could find it vastly more complicated to do business in Europe after a court ruled that personal data sent to U.S. servers is potentially unsafe from government spying. Some 4,500 companies have long been able to store users’ personal data — everything from status updates and photos to personal information like bank details and home addresses — where they see fit, often in the U.S. That could change after Europe’s top court on Tuesday declared invalid a 15-year-old pact allowing the unfettered transfer of personal data outside the European Union’s 28 countries. The case was brought by an Austrian law student in the wake of revelations by former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden of the extent of the NSA’s surveillance programs. Max Schrems complained that U.S. law doesn’t offer sufficient protection against surveillance of data transferred by Facebook to servers in the United States. The verdict could have far-reaching implications for companies operating in Europe. It does not mean companies have to immediately stop transferring data to the U.S. Rather, it opens up the possibility that European regulators will be inundated by complaints by consumers who do not want their data stored in the U.S. That would make it hugely difficult for companies to do business. “The message is clear — that mass surveillance is not possible and against fundamental rights in Europe,” said Schrems after the ruling. Companies, he added, “cannot just aid foreign spies and get away with it because they fall under European jurisdiction.” The so-called “safe harbor” agreement has allowed companies to send data on users from the EU to U.S. since 2000. That includes information on how users behave online, such as what pages they visit and where they spend money. But also email addresses, passwords, bank details and payroll figures. It does not include the content of emails, however. Since its creation, the agreement has helped Internet businesses such as social media. Facebook and Google, for example, earn money from advertising that relies on data on how users behave on the Internet. But the revelations of NSA spying have provoked a backlash from European consumers and governments. In a separate case, for example, Google is being forced to consider Europeans’ requests to delete from its search results links to content that they find offensive or inappropriate. The European Commission, the EU’s
TOP EU COURT STRIKES DOWN MAJOR DATA SHARING PACT BETWEEN U.S. AND EUROPE In a decision that is reverberating across the digital economy, the European Court of Justice on Tuesday struck down a transatlantic agreement that enables companies to transfer data from Europe to the United States, finding that European data is not sufficiently protected in the United States. The ruling will affect more than 4,400 U.S. and European companies that rely on the agreement to move data back and forth across the Atlantic to support trade and jobs. It also could have huge implications for U.S. intelligence agencies, which depend on an ability to sift through large volumes of data in search of clues to disrupt terrorist plots. The decision invalidated the Safe Harbor framework of 2000, reached between the United States and the European Commission.Tuesday’s ruling grew out of revelations by a former National Security Agency contractor, Edward Snowden, about the scope of NSA surveillance. The Obama administration reacted with dismay. “We are deeply disappointed in today’s decision from the European Court of Justice, which creates significant uncertainty for both U.S. and [European Union] companies and consumers, and puts at risk the thriving transatlantic digital economy,” Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker said. The Washington Post
executive branch, has tried to revise the “safe harbor” agreement over the past two years and expects Tuesday’s ruling will support that effort. “Today’s judgment is an important step toward upholding Europeans’ fundamental rights to data protection,” said European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans. “In the light of the ruling we will continue this work toward a renewed and safe framework for the transfer of personal data across the Atlantic.” In Washington, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said there are concerns about the economic consequences of the ruling, which is being reviewed. “We are disappointed that the court has struck down an agreement that since 2000 has proved to be critical in protecting both privacy and fostering economic growth in the United States and the European Union,” Earnest said.

FLOODING FAR FROM OVER Despite sunny skies, more evacuations may be needed as waters recede toward the sea By Jay Reeves and Emery P. Dalesio The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — The Carolinas saw sunshine Tuesday after days of inundation, but it could take weeks to recover from being pummeled by a historic rainstorm that caused widespread flooding and 17 deaths. Tuesday was the first completely dry day in Columbia since Sept. 24, but officials warned that new evacuations could be ordered as the huge mass of water flows toward the sea, threatening dams and displacing residents along the way. “God smiled on South Carolina because the sun is out. That is a good sign, but ... we still have to be cautious,” Gov. Nikki Haley said Tuesday after taking an aerial tour. “What I saw was disturbing.” “We are going to be extremely careful. We are watching this minute by minute,” she said. At least 15 weather-related deaths in South Carolina and two in North Carolina were blamed on the vast rainstorm. Six people drowned in their cars in Columbia alone, and several died after driving around safety barriers onto flooded roads. Flooding is a concern wherever concrete covers soil that would otherwise act as a sponge in heavy rain. The multitude of waterways in the Midlands area — where the Broad and Saluda rivers come together to form the Congaree — made the state capital even more vulnerable. Now officials are looking with concern to the Lowcountry, where several other rivers make their way to the sea, including the Santee and Edisto. Haley warned evacuations may be needed in

Florence, S.C. resident Jackie Lee surveys the flooding to his property Tuesday on Roundtree Road along the Lynches River near Effingham, S.C., where houses and cars are swamped following record rainfall in the state. several counties toward the coast, and noted that several rivers rising downstream of Columbia worried officials. “We are seeing some stage of flooding with all of them,” she said, adding that none have crested. Haley said it was too soon to put a price tag on the damage and it could be “any amount of dollars.” The Republican governor asked for and received a federal disaster declaration from President Barack Obama, freeing up money and resources for the state. But South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican presidential candidate, promised on the Senate floor not “to ask for a penny more than we need” in federal aid, to avoid the “pile-on” seen in some previous disaster aid bills that were used to get financing for unrelated projects. Water distribution remained a key problem Tuesday across much of the state. In Columbia, as many as 40,000 homes lacked drinking water, and the rest of the city’s 375,000 customers were told to boil water.
NATIONAL GUARD DROPPING 1-TON SANDBAGS ON BREACHED DAM The South Carolina National Guard is trying to bolster a major breach in a waterway near Columbia and is working with local officials to try to help keep other smaller dams in the state’s flooded regions from bursting. South Carolina National Guard
commander Maj. Gen. Robert Livingston said Tuesday’s planned operation involved helicopters dropping 1-ton sandbags from Chinook helicopters on a break between a canal and the Congaree river in Columbia.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. (AP) — On board the 790-foot El Faro when it set out on its doomed voyage into the path of Hurricane Joaquin were five Polish workers whose job was to prepare the engine room for a retrofitting. Could that work have caused the loss of power that led to the U.S. container ship’s sinking? The vessel’s owners say they don’t believe so, but the question — along with the captain’s decision to plot a course near the storm — will almost certainly be part of an investigation launched Tuesday by the National Transportation Safety Board into the disaster near the Bahamas that may have claimed 33 lives. “We don’t have all the answers, I’m sorry for that. I wish we did,” Anthony Chiarello, president and CEO of ship owner Tote Inc., told reporters. “But we will find out what happened.” The 41-year-old El Faro was scheduled to be retired from Caribbean duty and retrofitted in the coming months for service between the West Coast and Alaska, said Phil Greene, another Tote executive. The El Faro and its equally aged sister vessel were being replaced on the Jacksonville-to-Puerto Rico run by two brand-new ships capable of carrying much more cargo and emitting less pollution. When the El Faro left Jacksonville on Sept. 29, the five Polish workers came along with 28 U.S. crew members to do some prepatory work in the engine room, according to Greene. He gave no details on the nature of their work. The NTSB dispatched a team from Washington to investigate.

More than 32,000 use state online UPMC argues voter registration site in just 6 weeks for right to cancel s tat e s u p r e m e c o u r t
during appeal
By Joe Mandak The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center asked the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Tuesday to vacate a lower court’s order forcing UPMC to maintain cheaper, in-network rates for Highmark Inc.’s 182,000 Medicare Advantage customers. Commonwealth Court Judge Dan Pellegrini ordered UPMC in May to maintain the cheaper rates through 2019 for Medicare Advantage subscribers who use UPMC’s doctors and hospitals. His ruling came after UPMC tried to cancel its in-network contract with Highmark’s Medicare Advantage plan. UPMC attorney Stephen Cozen argued Tuesday that it’s an “undisputed right of UPMC to cancel with proper notice.” But whether the state’s highest court agrees when it rules in several months seems to depend on what legal language the justices focus on, and how they interpret a state-mediated consent decree between the feuding health care giants. The legalese is so complex that Justice Max Baer told the attorneys that he, “frankly, didn’t follow” part of it. The state mediated the decree to protect customers after UPMC refused to extend its in-network provider agreement for all of Highmark’s insurance products, starting this year. Highmark and UPMC have been fighting since Highmark purchased the financially ailing West Penn Allegheny Health System in 2013. That became the backbone of Highmark’s since-renamed, seven-hospital Allegheny Health Network, and made Highmark more of a rival to the much larger 20-hospital UPMC network, which has its own health insurance plan. UPMC threatened to end all of its in-network provider agreements with Highmark, saying they gave Highmark the unfair advantage of continuing
to offer UPMC doctors and hospitals at low rates while competing with UPMC’s Health Plan for subscribers. Medicare Advantage is a Medicare Part C plan. Part C plans are private insurance approved by Medicare for people enrolled in the government-run Medicare Part A, or hospitalization, and Part B, or medical insurance, programs. Customers pay a premium for Medicare Advantage plans and must still pay their Part B premiums. But they can sometimes still save money because the out-of-pocket deductibles and co-pays for the private insurance can be cheaper those in the government-run programs. Attorneys for the commonwealth and Highmark argued Tuesday that the consent decree requires the Medicare Advantage deal to run through 2019, period. “This is a plain text issue,” Highmark attorney Kim Watterson said. Chief Deputy Attorney General John Knorr III agreed, telling the justices, “The whole reason we got involved in the spat between these two was to protect vulnerable populations.” But Cozen argued that Highmark Medicare Advantage customers aren’t vulnerable because they’re not “owned” by Highmark. If UPMC’s in-network deal with Highmark ends, those 182,000 Highmark customers can simply choose another insurance company — including Aetna, UnitedHealthcare or, of course, UPMC Health Plan — to provide their Medicare Part C coverage if they want to keep UPMC doctors and hospitals at in-network rates, Cozen said. “All seniors with a Highmark plan need to do during the 2016 open enrollment is check the box for a different insurance company,” UPMC spokesman Paul Wood said in emailed comments. “Their continuity of care with their doctors will be completely unaffected.”

Nearly 32,500 Pennsylvanians, including more than 20,000 new voters, used the state’s new online voter registration site from its late August debut to the Monday deadline to register for Nov. 3 elections. “As the weeks went by, we were very happy to see more and more Pennsylvanians taking advantage of the new tool,” Secretary of State Pedro Cortes said in a statement on Tuesday. “This bears out our expectation that eligible voters will find online registration to be the most convenient, secure and accessible option available.” Cortes and Gov. Tom Wolf launched register. votesPA.com on Aug. 27, making Pennsylvania the 23rd state to offer online voter registration. By the end of Monday, 32,428 residents had used the site, including 20,375 people applying for new registrations and 12,053 current voters making changes to their registrations. Nearly 7,000 people used the site Monday, the largest number of users since Sept. 22 when about 1,600 people filed applications. Young people flocked to the site, according to registration data provided by the Department of State that showed 15,415 users were between 17 and 24 years old while just 1,585 users were 65 or older. More Democrats (18,241) than Republicans (10,522) statewide used the site. County-specific data showed that young people were also the dominant demographic for users in western Pennsylvania. Figures showed Beaver County with 324 users, 203 for new registrations and 121 to change registrations. The most users were between 17 and 24 years old (143) while the fewest (20) were 65 and older. In Beaver County, more Democrats (144) than Republicans (139) used the site. Fayette County had 238 residents use the site, 171 for new registrations and 67 to make changes. There were 98 users in the 17 to 24 demographic and just 11 in the 65 and older category.

Republicans (108) used the site slightly more than Democrats (106) in Fayette County. Lawrence County saw 176 residents access the site, 119 new registrants and 57 voters making changes. Fifty-five of the users from Lawrence County were between 17 and 24 years old while just seven were 65 or older. Republicans held a
slight advantage in Lawrence County users with 80 compared to 78 Democrats. Greene County had just 65 total users, 49 new registrants and 16 making changes. Twenty-four were in the youngest demographic while there were three users each in the 55 to 64 and 65 or older categories. The GOP doubled
Democrats in Greene County users 38 to 19. Allegheny County had 4,230 total users, 2,411 new registrants and 1,819 changes. The 17 to 24 demographic led with 2,008 users followed by the 25 to 34 category with 1,187, but just 163 65 or older. Democrats trounced Republicans in users in Allegheny County 2,771 to 1,006.

Beaver Valley nuclear operator removed from shift after testing positive for alcohol By Jared Stonesifer jstonesifer@timesonline.com
SHIPPINGPORT — A licensed operator at the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station tested positive for alcohol while on the job in September and has been temporarily removed from work pending an investigation. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is investigating after Beaver Valley officials voluntarily reported the incident. According to an NRC letter sent to Beaver Valley officials, the employee tested “above the lower limit of detection” during something called a “fitness-for-duty” random screening. While that employee did test positive at low limits, the incident didn’t have to be reported to NRC officials but was anyway. FirstEnergy spokeswoman Jennifer Young said the plant’s testing equipment can detect substances at “very low levels” and the employee barely hit those
levels. “I can tell you it was just over the threshold of what our equipment can detect and well below legal levels for driving,” she said. “And our equipment is very sensitive.” Young said the operator was removed from a shift after the detection of alcohol and has not returned to work since. The NRC in its letter dated Oct. 5 gave Beaver Valley officials 30 days to respond to questions contained within the letter, and to outline the status of the worker. “We are in the process of conducting a full medical evaluation of the individual and will respond to the questions presented by the NRC and determine what additional actions with the operator are required when the evaluation concludes,” Young said. Young added that “fitness-for-duty” testing is undertaken for “all individuals who hold unescorted access to our plants.”

Audit: Management problems at state Department of Education By Peter Jackson The Associated Press
HARRISBURG (AP) — An audit report released Tuesday by Pennsylvania’s elected fiscal watchdog revealed management problems in the state Department of Education and its 21-member Board of Education. The audit supervised by state Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, a Democrat, covered the period between July 1, 2010 and Aug. 1, 2015, including the four-year tenure of former Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican who made deep cuts in state education spending. Among the findings:
OUTDATED MASTER PLAN The board’s “Basic Education Master Plan,” supposedly a roadmap for statewide education policy, has not been updated for 16 years. DePasquale blamed “misdirected leadership” on the board for failing to update the plan, as the Pennsylvania School Code requires every five years, and that this failure has left the state without a strategic plan for dealing with the difficult issues facing public schools. “If (the board) had actively updated its plan, it would have better posi-
tioned itself as a leader in developing educational police, instead of relying on gubernatorial convened commissions of stakeholders, whose agenda were controlled” outside of the board, the audit says. In a written response included with the audit, Board of Education Chairman Larry Wittig acknowledged the need for a current plan, as the audit

He said the board has strived to meet its obligations in spite of limited resources and the Legislature’s imposition of many new responsibilities. DePasquale’s charge of “misdirected leadership” seems to be an opinion, not a fact supported by objective evidence, Wittig said.

cess that calls for the board to update the master plan and designate a committee to take on “the epidemic of poor-performing schools.” They recommend that the department make organizational changes and take charge in helping such schools improve. Eventually, the department should help such schools “through partnerships with school districts, not takeovers.”

RETIRED STATE EMPLOYEES The department often relied on retired state employees who returned to work in the department on a short-term emergency basis, the auditors said. They said the department failed to monitor those people to ensure they did not remain on the payroll longer than the 95-day maximum they are allowed each year. The auditors examined the records of the 38 annuitants hired by the department and found one violation of the rule.

“PDE needs to reinvent its brand and provide better direct outreach to school and district leadership,” they said. In response, Education Secretary Pedro Rivera says the department generally agrees with the audit’s findings and recommendations, but that he hopes they are instructive. “It is my hope that this report will help demonstrate the pressing need for the commonwealth to properly invest in the educational resources of the commonwealth, including the internal resources and capacity of the department,” Rivera wrote.

IN BRIEF
Local Freemasons honored The former Beaver County public works director was honored last month with the highest distinction in Freemasonry. Jim Camp, who retired from the Beaver County public works department earlier this year, was recognized in Indianapolis with Levi Harding III and Kenneth Shiderly Sr., both of Lawrence County. Each received the distinction, known as the 33rd degree.
GOP ‘Good Government Rally’ slated for Sunday at Irvine Park
BEAVER — A Good Government Rally is slated for 1 p.m. Sunday at the Irvine Park Gazebo in Beaver. The rally, sponsored by the Republican Committee of Beaver County, is being held to “energize and inform the citizens of Beaver County on the local issues we face and to introduce candidates,” according to a news release. The committee-endorsed slate of eight candidates will speak on their vision and platforms in pursuit of their courthouse positions.
Aliquippa set to increase tax for workers
ALIQUIPPA — City council plans to vote on an ordinance at its 7 p.m. Wednesday meeting to increase a tax that applies to people who work there. The city’s local services tax is currently $52 per person, but the ordinance would double that to $104, according to the city. Because of recent changes in state law, Act 47 financially distressed communities can raise that tax to $156. People who make less than $15,600 for the year would be exempt from the tax.
Pittsburgh street closing for paving, new signals, sidewalks
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Officials say part of a street in downtown Pittsburgh will be closed for seven months beginning next Monday. The city’s Department of Public Works says the lanes from Fourth Avenue to Fifth Avenue will be closed to accommodate a final phase of reconstructing the Forbes Avenue and Smithfield Street intersection. The $5.3 million project
includes a new concrete pavement, signals and sidewalks and other improvements. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that the bus lane will not be affected. Pedestrian traffic will still be accommodated.
Universal Stainless & Alloy has new deal at Titusville plant TITUSVILLE (AP) — A Pittsburgh-area specialty steelmaker has a new five-year contract covering workers at a small plant in northwestern Pennsylvania. Universal Stainless & Alloy Products announced the new fiveyear deal with 31 members who make up United Steelworkers Local 7312-03 at the company’s plant in Titusville. That’s about 90 miles north of Pittsburgh. The company has separate labor agreements with union workers at its flagship plant in Bridgeville and in Dunkirk, N.Y.. Those plants have about 570 union workers combined. The company also has a non-union plant in North Jackson, Ohio. Terms of the new deal, which took effect Oct. 1, were not released. Universal Stainless

Openly gay lawmaker challenging indicted Philly congressman
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Pennsylvania’s first openly gay elected state lawmaker is challenging a longtime Philadelphia congressman who’s vowing to remain in office while fighting corruption charges. State Rep. Brian Sims on Tuesday announced he’s running to unseat 11-term U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah. He’s the third person to challenge the 58-year-old Fattah in next year’s Democrat primary. The 37-year-old Sims has been a state legislator since 2013. He’s fought for marriage equality, pay equity and a conversion therapy ban. He’s also a lawyer and a former college football player. City ward leader Dan Muroff and Lower Merion Township Commissioner Brian Gordon are also running against Fattah. Fattah has denied charges he paid off an
illegal $1 million campaign loan with federal grants and charitable donations, and funneled campaign funds toward his son’s student loan.
Pennsylvania’s first breast milk bank accepting donations PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pennsylvania’s first breast milk bank is now accepting donations from nursing mothers in anticipation of its November opening in Pittsburgh. Three Rivers Mothers’ Milk Bank will service sick babies throughout both Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The nonprofit’s 5,000-square-foot building will include a pasteurization and bottling laboratory, freezers and a classroom. Officials said the milk is mostly intended for infants in neonatal intensive care units, but approximately 15 to 20 percent of donations will be distributed to outpatient babies. Dr. Debra Bogen, the milk bank’s volunteer medical director, said breast milk helps protect preterm infants against disease. In 2012, the American Academy for Pediatrics recommended all babies weighing 3.3 pounds or less receive

human milk. Executive Director Denise O’Connor said interested donors must submit to a telephone interview, health questionnaires and a blood draw before approval. Nursing mothers who are not approved for the milk bank are still encouraged to donate. Their milk will be used to further research at the facility. O’Connor said the milk will cost approximately $4.50 per ounce. Donors are asked to commit to providing a minimum of 150 ounces because the bank covers the costs of screenings as well as storing and shipping. Donations are accepted both in person and by mail. O’Connor said Three Rivers has raised more than $700,000 for initial start-up costs and will be financially solvent in three years. “Every foundation that we went to totally embraced this project,” O’Connor said. “It’s a simple solution that helps better the lives for the families in need. We’re beyond excited.” Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is also in the process of developing its own milk bank, but the hospital plans to keep the milk in-house.

Clinton’s gun proposal makes sense Obama should act now and use executive action to address gun sales with no background check By Bloomberg View The political purpose behind the proposals to combat gun violence that Hillary Clinton introduced Monday may be to outflank her top rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Bernie Sanders. On this issue, he’s been a shrinking violet. But among them is a bid for executive action so compelling that Barack Obama should act on it now, and not risk waiting for the next president. Clinton supports a number of sound legislative actions on guns: She would seek to repeal the gun industry’s congressionally mandated immunity from tort law, a shameless special-interest loophole. She wants more funding to inspect gun dealers, most of whom haven’t undergone required inspections in the past five years.
She supports a federal law barring all domestic abusers and stalkers from purchasing firearms. And she backs a so-called assault weapons ban for military-style semi- automatic rifles. There’s little chance that any of this agenda will be enacted, however, given Republican majorities in the House and Senate, and entrenched partisan polarization on the issue. That’s why the most provocative part of Clinton’s plan is its proposal for executive action. She wants to use executive power to redefine the gun-show loophole that allows an estimated 40 percent of U.S. gun sales to proceed with no background checks. Many people exploit this loophole to run de facto firearms businesses at flea markets, at gun shows or over the Internet. Exercising executive authority, Clinton would require that anyone who tries to sell a significant number of guns be deemed “in the business” of selling firearms, ensuring that they are subject to all the rules that apply to gun stores — including mandatory
background checks. (Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun regulation advocacy group supported by Bloomberg LP founder Michael Bloomberg, also endorses such executive action.) Executive action in defiance of Congress is hardly an appealing strategy for public policy. But it appears increasingly impossible, in the face of congressional dysfunction, to address through legislation a scourge that contributes to killing more than 30,000 people a year. An attempt in 2013 to tighten the same loophole via legislation failed to overcome the Senate’s 60-vote threshold. Rather than wait for the next Democratic president, Obama should embrace Clinton’s proposal. He’d have to expect an immediate lawsuit (only gun manufacturers are immune). But this would be a chance to test both the law and the extent of political support for clarifying it. Clinton has responded to an unreasonable circumstance with a reasoned proposal. Obama should take it up without delay.
Facebook follows your web choices By Megan Mcardle Bloomberg View
Facebook is following you around the web. You knew that, right? How else would Facebook know to serve that panda video straight into your newsfeed, and leave your college friend’s ill-informed rant about Pacific trade deals in the dark bowels of its servers? How else would it know to serve you with 7,000 ads for wedding dress vendors the very day you announce your engagement? Facebook knows what you like. It knows what you don’t like. It probably knows whether you have been naughty or nice, and will be selling that data to Santa this Christmas season. This bothers many people, especially since Facebook keeps expanding the list of things it knows about you, and the ways it is willing to use that data to make money. The recent announcement that Facebook would soon target ads using your “likes” and “shares” has triggered some Olympic-level teeth-gnashing from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, because Facebook will get information from you not just when you actually like, “like” something, but when you load a page that has a “like” button on it. They want Facebook to agree to use a “Do Not Track” standard that will keep all that potentially profitable data from the greedy eyes of advertisers. Of course people should be able to hide data about what sites they use. But there’s a perfectly good way to do this: Stay signed out of Facebook and tell your browser not
to accept cookies, or otherwise let advertisers follow you around the web. The problem is, this level of security is incredibly inconvenient, because you have to spend a lot of time painfully re-entering data. The other problem is that naive users, who probably don’t spend a lot of time thinking about privacy, won’t bother. But what obligation do companies really have to naive users who don’t spend a lot of time thinking about privacy? Some of these users undoubtedly don’t realize that they are exposed, but we should not reject out of hand the possibility that most of them really don’t care enough — at least, not enough to put up with all that inconvenience. Enforcing someone else’s preferences about privacy may not be liberating; it may be counterproductive. For let us remember that, dingy and dispiriting as it may be, these companies do need to make money. There’s an old saying in advertising: If you can’t figure out what’s being sold, then you’re the product. “Free” products and services usually aren’t; someone has to finance them, and if they’re not charging you for your use, then they’re charging someone else to use you. Privacy-obsessed folks who carefully hide their activity from the Internet, and ad-hating readers who install blockers, are effectively having their free media and social media platforms subsidized by the folks who don’t know or don’t mind. The interwebs are full of splendid things that social media companies could do to make life easier for
various people, and perhaps better for society, if only those social media companies didn’t have to make money. The problem is, if the social media companies implemented them all, they would probably go out of business. That would, of course, take care of problems like Twitter harassment and Facebook’s stalker-like record of your Internet activity, but most people do seem to like having those social media platforms, even at the expense of some exposure to these risks. No one fix would be unlikely to bring about the death of the firm. But there’s a problem with this, which you see a lot in politics: Someone will say “We’ve got this modest plan, and it would only raise costs (or lower revenue), by some small amount, say, what we could raise with a one-cent surtax on ballpoint pens,” and this is true. Except there are several thousand people who have similarly modest plans, and the next thing you know ballpoint pens cost $20 apiece and the drugstore has to lock them up with the pregnancy tests. The collective weight of the suggestions for improvement (and the third-party software to facilitate same) might well make the Internet kinder and gentler. It might also kill off many of the ways we spend our Internet time. Privacy matters, but privacy is not free. And the best people to assess the tradeoffs between privacy, access, and convenience are probably the individuals wielding the mouse, rather than the activists wielding the megaphone.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Could Beaver County welcome Syrian refugees? While it is humanitarian for Europe to take in a number of Syrian refugees, in the United States it is difficult for us to understand what the Europeans are going through. Recently it was reported that 100,000 refugees attempted to enter Austria. This would be similar to 2,000 refugees wanting to enter Beaver County. Austria is a mountainous country; only 28 percent is hilly or flat. Beaver County has a much better terrain. But if 2,000 people wanted to settle immediately in Beaver County, people with no money and few possessions, could we handle it? We have 91 percent more crime in the U.S. than in Austria. Would the state kick in money to feed, house and clothem? Harrisburg can’t even pass a budget. Would our local law enforcement agencies be able to protect them? Many local budgets are strained. We must put ourselves in the other persons’ shoes before we criticize them. Bill Angel Baden
Obamacare does work Obamacare has had a great impact on my health care costs. If not for the law, I would have paid high out-of-pocket expenses. Due to my disability, which forced me into retirement at age 60, I paid outrageous rates until I applied for Obama health care and now only pay one-third the cost. My doctor visits are now $5 and medicine is also $5. Congressman Rothfus, stop trying to repeal the health care law and educate the public that Obamacare does work. Helena Haddad Monaca

COPS: TEEN PULLED GUN ON COLLEGE STUDENT, PROMPTING LOCKDOWN PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A teenager pulled a gun on a student outside a community college building Tuesday, prompting a campus lockdown and police search and leading to the teen’s arrest, police said. Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey told reporters that there were no reports of gunfire or injuries following the 9:30 a.m. encounter at the Community College of Philadelphia. Ramsey said it was unrelated to an Internet threat that had prompted increased security at Philadelphia-area colleges the day before. “These are two individuals who have a history,” he said. “They were arguing over something. At some point in time this individual pulls a gun on the other — not uncommon in Philadelphia, unfortunately.” After the student reported that the teenager pulled a gun on him, the Community College of Philadelphia campus was locked down and administrators asked students and staff to shelter in place while police searched buildings. Shortly before noon, a 17-year-old was apprehended without incident in a classroom, Ramsey said. It was unclear whether the suspect was a student. Officers searched the campus for a weapon but reported later in the afternoon that none was found, and Ramsey

told reporters it was unclear whether any charges would be filed. “I was kind of freaked out at first not really knowing what to do,” Lisa LeCain, a student at the college, told The Associated Press by email. “But people around me were pretty calm, and I figured that as long as I would stay where I was until I’d know what to do, I’d be kind of safe.” LeCain said she didn’t feel her life was in danger, but she “got scared ... when I learned they apprehended to suspect in the building where I was.” In May 2014, the school was evacuated after police said a student pulled a gun in a classroom in a confrontation with another student.

Beaver County, PA. - My name is Dr. Michele M. Askar, D.C. owner and operator of the Beaver County Spinal Disc and Neurology Center and I have been helping people with neuropathy for over 20 years and until this day I am still amazed at how many folks are not aware that if untreated, peripheral neuropathy (PN) can be a fatal disease Peripheral neuropathy (PN) affects every part of your life— walking, sitting, standing, and even sleeping. This painful condition interferes with your body’s ability to transmit messages to your muscles, skin, joints or internal organs. Early signs of peripheral neuropathy are: tingling, numbness, pain, discoloration, burning or cold fingers or toes. Another less frequent symptom is unexplained falls or loss of balance. If ignored or mistreated, peripheral neuropathy can lead to irreversible health conditions. Why not get help by someone trained to correct the cause of peripheral neuropathy and not just the symptoms using drugs.

WHITE TWP. — A man accused of setting 11 recent arsons told police he caused the fires because he was tried of seeing abandoned homes in Beaver Falls. Zachary Metcalf, 21, is Metcalf charged with starting nine fires in Beaver Falls and two in White Township between August and September, police said. Officers from the Patterson Township Police Department, who patrol White Township, interviewed Metcalf at the Beaver County Jail after he was charged in the Beaver Falls fires. According to a police report, Metcalf said he started the fires because he was tired of “the city” not addressing abandoned homes. When asked how he knew the homes on 10th Avenue in White were abandoned, Metcalf told police “you could just tell,” and described them having open doors and broken

Police said he walked to 2205 10th Ave. about 6 p.m. Sept. 27, looked around and went back home because “it wasn’t the right time.” He returned to the house between 10:30 and 11 p.m. and set the kitchen curtains on fire, police said. According to the report, Metcalf came back Sept. 28 and ignited a pile of clothes on fire inside 2207 10th Ave., next door to the fire he set the previous night. Police said he left the area when

According to the report, emergency responders were called to the house about 25 minutes after the fire started. While crews were fighting the fire, Beaver Falls police walked up to the 1900 block of West Avenue in Beaver Falls and saw Metcalf enter 1919 West Ave. — an abandoned home — through a back door.

BEAVER — Charges against a Beaver Falls man accused in a city shooting were dismissed Tuesday at a preliminary hearing, according to online court records. Jones David Lee Jones, 25, was charged with attempted homicide in June after a May 28 shooting at the Beaver Falls Community Center parking lot, police said. Court records did not specify why that charge, plus 10 charges of aggravated assault and five charges each of simple as-
sault and reckless endangerment, were dismissed. According to a police report, Jones shot into the window of a vehicle that was leaving the community center parking lot. Police said one passenger was shot in the leg and another was cut by broken glass. The gunshot victim was taken to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh and has since been released, police said. Within the same week, Jones was also accused in an argument-turnedshooting on a porch in the 1550 block of Fifth Street in Beaver Falls. Police said Jones fired shots and those on the porch returned fire. A 30-year-old woman was shot in the leg and taken to a Pittsburgh hospital. Charges related to that incident were dismissed at an Aug. 17 preliminary hearing, according to online court records.

PHIL KESSEL
THIS YEAR’S WINGER HAS A PEDIGREE Every workplace has that worker who is great at the job, shows up every day and produces at a high level, but that doesn’t mean that he or she should run the department. One could say that is what happened with Phil Kessel while playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Being one of the highestpaid players on the roster and one who was looked at to carry a large portion of the offensive load thrust the 27-year-old into the media spotlight on a regular basis. It didn’t always go well. That was especially true when the losing started in Toronto. That Kessel can slip out of the media spotlight here and focus on playing hockey was one of the most attractive aspects of his trade to the Penguins. “I think it’s a more relaxed environment than Toronto,” Kessel said. “I think obviously the media’s a little less here, but ... I expect to do well here and I expect our team to do well, so I’m looking forward to it.” Kessel seems to be happiest when he is on the ice. Hockey, not its periphery, seems to be his passion, and when the losses and criticism mounted in Toronto, the fun and the

t might be hard to believe, but Sidney Crosby is entering his 11th NHL season. He’s appeared in 627 games, rolling up 302 goals, 551 assists and 853 points. Those numbers equate to 1.36 points per game over the course of his career, which is the fifth-best mark in NHL history. It also ranks the 28-year-old first among active players. What makes that statistic even more impressive is that he has accomplished the feat while skating at times with players named Mike Rupp, Max Talbot, Matt Cooke and Tyler Kennedy. He’s found a home in recent years skating alongside Chris Kunitz and Pascal Dupuis, but the Penguins brought in Phil Kessel to patrol Crosby’s right wing this season. Crosby has never had a wing like Kessel, and if the preseason is any indication, the duo will be a lethal one. With the season starting Thursday night, when the Penguins take on the Stars in Dallas, it seemed like a good time to take a look back at Crosby’s wingmen: what has worked, what hasn’t and what can be expected from a Crosby/Kessel combination.
ROOKIE SEASON
Crosby broke into the league in 2005 and immediately made an impact by scoring 39 goals and 102
points. The season was a tough one in the standings, but it showed how good Crosby could be and how much he could lift the level of those around him. He skated with many different players but most remember the chemistry that quickly developed between him, Andy Hilbert and fellow rookie Colby Armstrong. Armstrong made his NHL debut on Dec. 29, 2005 and found a home on a line with Crosby, who collected 23 goals, 42 assists and 65 points over the final 46 games of that season. “The way he could play the game was just crazy, the way he thought the game,” Armstrong said in an interview SIDE, PAGE B4

Hoosier starter?
Penn State’s defense prepares for 2 Indiana QBs with opposite styles By Travis Johnson The Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, PA. — Anthony Zettel is one of a handful of Penn State players who’ve lined up against both Nate Sudfeld and Zander Diamont. The Penn State senior defensive tackle and his teammates might have to stop both Indiana quarterbacks on Saturday — a tricky proposition since their skills are so different. “Sudfeld, he can sit in the pocket and whip the ball. He’s a very, very efficient passer,” Zettel said. “Diamont, the kid’s an athlete. He’s going to set their offense up in the best way he can using his feet.” Just like he did last week against No. 1 Ohio State. Diamont nearly brought the Hoosiers back from a 14-point deficit in relief when Sudfeld, the team’s 6-foot-6, strong-armed starter, was knocked from the game in the third quarter. Zettel wasn’t surprised to see Diamont’s 76-yard touchdown run with 10 minutes left that cut Ohio State’s lead to a touchdown. He also wasn’t surprised to watch Diamont lead a nineplay drive to the Ohio State 9-yard line before an errant snap sealed the Hoosiers’ loss. Diamont nearly led a comeback against Penn State a year ago. With Sudfeld injured, Diamont ran for 58 yards and five first downs, but Penn State escaped Bloomington with a 13-7 win. It didn’t go as well for Penn State the previous season when Sudfeld picked the Nittany Lions apart for 321 yards and two touchdowns in Indiana’s only win in the series. But Sudfeld is far from a lock to play on Saturday. He aggravated an ankle injury against the Buckeyes and will have to be cleared to play by doctors. He’ll also have to be mobile enough to escape danger, which can come from

any angle against Penn State. The Nittany Lions are second in the country with 21 sacks and third in tackles for loss with 46. Defensive ends Carl Nassib and Garrett Sickels have come on strong while Zettel and Austin Johnson have been equally effective in the middle. “If Nate’s healthy and he can protect himself and play, he’s going to play,” Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said. Which quarterback plays will affect Penn State’s defensive backs, too. Coach James Franklin hasn’t been pleased with his secondary’s tackling the last two weeks and different quarterbacking styles will call for different approaches from a secondary that’s struggled to bring down ball carriers in the open field. Shoulder tackles and poor pursuit angles plagued Penn State in its 20-14 win against Army, particularly when quarterback A.J. Schurr burst down the sideline past sophomore cornerback Grant Haley and senior safety Jordan Lucas for a 56-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. “We’re the last line of defense so we gotta be the most reliable and wrap up as best as we can,” Haley said. Especially if Diamont scrambles into the second level and if Sudfeld plays and spreads the ball around to a pair of 6-foot-4 receivers in Simmie Cobbs Jr. and Ricky Jones. Both have 21 catches and big size advantages over Penn State’s defensive backs. “We gotta have respect for both of them,” Haley said.

Army quarterback A.J. Schurr (11) is sacked by Penn State linebacker Troy Reeder (42) during the second half of Saturday’s game in State College. Penn State won 20-14.
In a 3-2 win over top-ranked Juniata, Clarion’s Morgan Seybold (West Allegheny) finished with an astounding 41 of the team’s 83 digs.
COLUMBUS, OHIO (AP) — The number five and EZEKIEL ELLIOTT are linked like scarlet and gray are associated with Ohio State. Wearing No. 15, the junior running back had touchdown runs of 55, 65 and 75 yards against Indiana last Saturday to help the top-ranked Buckeyes to a 34-27 win and a 5-0 record. He also reignited talk of Ohio State’s unique streak of Heisman Trophy winners. Beginning in 1955 with Howard “Hopalong” Cassady, an OSU running back has won the Heisman every 20 years. Archie Griffin was voted his unprecedented second award in 1975 and Eddie George followed in 1995, among the seven total winners for the school.

finished three shots behind Marissa Balish of Hampton, who will compete at Ohio University next year. But even though many golfers cited the speedy greens for increased scores, McDanel found something else to be the biggest challenge. “I think the most difficult thing about (the course) was walking it,” McDanel said. “So far this year we’ve played slow greens, this was definitely a big change, though.” Fellow teammate Alex Bozich finished with an 84, which put her in a tie for eighth place. The top seven golfers qualify for PIAA Western Regional held at Tom’s Run on Oct. 19 in Blairsville. “Our expectations are high,” coach Larry Dolenak said. “There’s a lot of good players here. Everyone plays practice rounds, but it’s not the same. I thought the scores would be harder the way the course was playing.” As McDanel has plenty of golf left to play this fall, so does Bozich, who can now focus with the rest of the Warriors on another run to the PIAA Championships. But first, Central Valley will have to finish as one of the top two teams in the WPIAL at next week’s district championship at Cedarbrook Golf Course in Belle Vernon. “This definitely gets you ready to face pretty much the same girls next week,” Bozich said. “It helps you get prepared and win for the team.” Even though McDanel looks forward to everything in the future, she still wants to embrace the team championship next week with her teammates, thinking the team is ready to play its best golf this season. “I think we’re ready to play our best,” McDanel said, though she quickly retracted her statement. “Hopefully we save our best for states, but we all feel confident in our chances.

Blackhawk’s Matt Warnaka blocks a shot Tuesday night during a match at Hopewell Area High School.
Blackhawk keeps its cool in OT win Vikings player ejected, but Cougars persevere with defense By Chris B. Mueller Times Sports Correspondent
HOPEWELL TWP. — Blackhawk found itself in a scary situation 10 minutes into the opening half on the road against Hopewell on Tuesday night. Hopewell midfielder Brian Rohm drew a penalty inside Blackhawk’s box to earn a scoring opportunity on a penalty kick. It was a 0-0 game at that point, and Blackhawk goalkeeper Matt Warnaka had the odds against him. “I saw [Rohm] looking to try and play it off. I saw him looking the far way, but he played it too much. You can tell when somebody’s trying to play it off,” Warnaka said. “His hips opened right when he went to kick the ball, and I knew that’s where he was going.” Warnaka blocked Rohm on a diving save that ultimately proved to be the deciding factor in Blackhawk’s 1-0 overtime win over the Vikings. Blackhawk ended it two minutes into the extra period when junior Zach O’Connor finished the deciding

as a spark plug. It gave them an extra edge. “I think we definitely were motivated by [the cheap shot]. We grouped back together after that,” O’Connor said. “We were frustrated before but came together a little bit after that. “We kept the mental aspect of the game the whole way through the overtime period up to the goal. Then we found the switch, and put it away.” Coach Bryan Vitali labeled escaping Hopewell with a win as a game that can define this season, despite knocking off the Vikings 6-0 earlier this year. The win gives Blackhawk a 9-2-0 record, tying the program’s win total from last season. There’s still six games left. “Our mindset has been one game at a time all year,” Vitali said. “It’s like the next game up. We don’t get ahead ourselves because if you do, you lose games.” The Cougars currently sit in third place in the Class AA Section 4 standings behind Beaver and Ambridge. They can’t afford to lose games. Ambridge defeated them 1-0 on Sept. 22, and then Beaver prevailed 6-0 two days later. Both teams are left on Blackhawk’s schedule.

with Toronto Maple Leafs TV while reflecting on his days with Crosby. “Just his abilities. You learn so many little things from a guy like that.” Andy Hilbert joined that duo after he was claimed on waivers from the Chicago Blackhawks on March 9, 2006. Crosby broke out with 10 goals and 43 points over the 19 games that the three played together. The Crosby Effect resulted in 20 points (10 goals) for Armstrong and 18 points (seven goals) for Hilbert. This season proved that Crosby could produce and create production without playing with other superstars.

A MARQUEE WINGER
Crosby spent the next season and a half with wings who were on par with those of his rookie season and the results were still excellent. He won his first Art Ross Trophy in 06-07 after putting up 36 goals and 120 points in 79 games. He followed that with 24 goals and 72 points in just 53 games after he suffered a high-ankle sprain in 07-08. The trade deadline of that injury-shortened season brought Crosby his first bonafide star wing in the form of Marian Hossa. Hossa played just 32 games for the team, 12 in the regular season, and it took a while to generate chemistry with Crosby as each missed time down the stretch. Once healthy, they quickly meshed as the during a long playoff run that resulted in a trip to the Stanley Cup Final. “He creates a lot. He has speed and strength. He can create space a lot of ways. He can out-muscle guys and he’s smart so he knows where to go,” Crosby said at the time. “Definitely, he’s an easy guy to play with.” The Penguins didn’t win the Stanley Cup that season, but they saw what Crosby could do with a marquee talent. Crosby and Hossa combined for 27 goals and 57 points in the playoffs. This was also the first time that Crosby was joined on a line by the versatile and speedy Pascal Dupuis. Crosby and Dupuis lost Hossa the next season but gained Bill Guerin at the trade deadline. That combination seemed to work even better. Guerin wasn’t afraid to “coach” Crosby on the ice and off it. He might not have been the power forward he was during the late 1990s, but he had great hands, a great shot and solid speed. He picked up 12 points in 17 regular season games and another 15 in 24 playoff games as the Penguins won the Stanley Cup in 2009. Crosby again showed that he could thrive in any situation and that he could elevate the level of those around him.

THE TWO-HEADED MONSTER
Crosby has demonstrated an ability to thrive with just about any player he is slotted in with, but there is one that hasn’t worked as well as one would think: Evgeni Malkin. The Penguins have tried many times to cast their two superstar centers on the same line. It should be a home run: each player has won scoring titles, each also won the Hart Trophy (MVP award). But it’s a combo that has largely been a dud, power-play time aside. Crosby and Malkin are like oil and water when on the ice together in a five-on-five situation. They both want the puck; they like to be the offensive catalyst in terms of calling the shots and directing traffic on the ice. Former coaches Michel Therrien and Dan Bylsma went with the combo semi-regularly and got mixed results. The lack of success with these two players is usually cited by critics of the Crosby/Kessel pairing. The difference is that Kessel doesn’t always have to have the puck, is comfortable playing a give-and-go game and is fine playing the role of pure finisher.
WHAT ABOUT HOSSA? The Penguins acquired Marian Hossa from the Atlanta Thrashers at the trade deadline in 2008, hoping that a marquee wingers would spark Crosby and the team in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. It did.. Crosby assistsed on eight of Hossa’s 12 postseason goals (and Hossa assisted on three of Crosby’s six goals) as the Penguins made a run to the Cup final. Hossa, though, was the beneficiary of only one Crosby assist during the regular season because both dealt with injuries down the stretch that season.
DUPUIS AND KUNITZ
AP
Crosby is most known for skating on a line with Chris Kunitz and Dupuis, and there’s a reason for that. At times they have been the most productive line in the league, and it resulted in Chris Kunitz making a Canadian Olympic team and Pascal Dupuis developing a reputation as one of the NHL’s most versatile players.
The line is probably most indicative of the Crosby Effect. Kunitz and Dupuis are both quality NHL players, but when combined with Crosby they formed an elite line capable of scoring on almost every shift. Each wing had career seasons while skating with Crosby and each was a threat to score 20 or more goals and 55 or more points with the captain. In Kunitz and Dupuis, Crosby has two wings capable of reading and reacting and even thinking a step or two ahead of the opposition with him, something not every player is capable of doing. They possess speed to play a quick north-south game, aren’t shy about getting into the corners and will get to the front of the net. The chemistry between the three was never more apparent than during the 2010-11 season, when Crosby put up an eye-popping 32 goals and 66 points over the first 41 games of the season. Crosby’s concussion ended that run, but it is probably the most dynamic stretch of play in his career. Injuries to all three players have kept them from revisiting the success of that season, but Kunitz and Dupuis are the most effective wings with whom Crosby has played. When matched, the trio brings speed, skill, grit and all are bird dogs for the puck. When healthy and cycling in the offensive zone, there weren’t many who could stop them. Crosby has had so much success with this duo that Bylsma opted to keep the line together even after a trade to acquire 500-goal-scorer Jarome Iginla.
PHIL THE THRILL
Crosby has proven that he doesn’t need to have a superstar on his wing to roll up significant point totals, and in some cases (Malkin) he may even prefer not to. He is also capable of helping just about any player on his line do the same, but that doesn’t mean that a superstar wing can’t or won’t thrive with him. Enter Phil Kessel. Kessel was acquired in July, and coach Mike Johnston followed through on his promise to play him with Crosby during training camp and the preseason. “He’s a fast skater,” Crosby said. “You don’t really have time to look up and see where he is. You have to understand and try to figure out where he’s going to be.” It took a few shifts at the beginning of training camp, but as the preseason games ticked by, Crosby showed that he knows exactly where Kessel is going to be and he’s finding him in prime scoring areas of the ice. The tandem combined for five goals and nine points in four preseason games. Crosby might have a new face on his right wing, but he’ll have a familiar one on his left in Kunitz. It would also be folly to assume that Dupuis won’t make a few cameos there before the season runs its course. “Playing with Sid, he creates a lot of space, but you’ve got to make sure you get those holes and seams at the right time,” Kunitz said. “Then the way Phil plays, he’s got that speed up the wall and a great shot. His game is going to be that straight-line game. That’s something I try to always play. Different style obviously but play that north game, not moving too much laterally, not making too many one-on-one moves and get into their end as quick as you can.”
THE CROSBY EFFECT
If anything was learned about the Crosby Effect over the last decade, it is that chemistry and the ability to read, react and keep up with Crosby are more important than highend hockey skill. Players such as Armstrong and Hilbert thrived because, as a trio with Crosby, they had all of the components needed to generate quality-scoring chances: speed, grit and net-front presence, and that formed chemistry. Guerin and Hossa showed that skill could play very well in that role, while Dupuis and Kunitz thrived based on an ability to play a north-south game with speed. They also think the game on Crosby’s level and aren’t caught off guard when he creates. Kessel brings a bit of all of the aforementioned players and, combined with the Crosby Effect, there appears to be a recipe for offensive and, in turn, team success.

ROSTER BREAKDOWN The final roster adjustments are in the books, and there is a pretty solid idea of what the lineup is going to look like when the puck drops between the Penguins and Stars in Dallas on Thursday night. Jim Rutherford opted to keep 13 forwards, eight defensemen and two goaltenders. There are two players on injured reserve, who will force a roster move or two once healthy. Here’s a look at the lineup position by position-by-position and what the lines and defense pairings could or should look like. BY BRIAN METZER FORWARDS Rutherford was impressed by what he saw from the Tampa Lightning and Chicago Blackhawks as they battled for the Stanley Cup this spring. He liked the fact that each entry featured four lines that could generate offense and wanted to emulate that in Pittsburgh. After a trade to snare Phil Kessel and a number of signings, his team might just have the deepest group of forwards in the league. The top two lines are very much in focus: Line 1, Chris Kunitz, Sidney Crosby, Kessel; Line 2: Sergei Plotnikov, Evgeni Malkin, Patric Hornqvist. Both of these lines were very impressive in the preseason. All generated offense on a nearly nightly basis and combined to score seven goals and 16 assists. Kunitz appears to be healthier than he’s been in quite a while and will add a physical edge to the top line. He’ll fish pucks from the corner and create space, all while chipping in offense to compliment Crosby and Kessel. Malkin and Hornqvist showed chemistry last season and it was on display during the preseason. Adding Plotnikov, who has quickly adapted to the NHL game, will give them a big-bodied battering ram who isn’t afraid to go to the net. The trio took a little time to gel, but came together at the preseason game in Johnstown and have looked great since. On line 3, Nick Bonino will center David Perron and Beau Bennett. Bonino can do all of the things that made Brandon Sutter successful, including kill penalties, but his offensive ceiling is a bit higher. If Perron can become the player he was during the 13-14 season and combine his offensive flair with a physical edge, this could be a very effective third line. Pascal Dupuis, who was slated for a third-line role, sustained an injury on Sunday during practice and will miss four to five weeks with a lower body injury. That opens the door for Beau Bennett and Bobby Farnham. Bennett will slide in on the third line, while Farnham will be pressed into duty on the fourth.

KESSEL TAKES HIS TURN BESIDE CROSBY Trophy hunters
KESSEL, from B1
The start of the NHL season is here, and that means it’s time for predictions. Can Sidney Crosby stay healthy and leave the NHL awards ceremony with several new trophies? Will the Penguins win their division? Can the Chicago Blackhawks overcome a tumultuous offseason to win another Stanley Cup? Times NHL correspondent Brian Metzer does his best Carnac the Magnificent impression and provides those answers and more.
passion seemed to wane. “I love to play,” Kessel said. “I’ve always loved to play. I still love to play the game. It’s the best thing in the world. For me, that’s always fun.” That fun grows exponentially when his team is winning games, and he hopes that is something he can experience a lot more with the Penguins. “Whenever you’re on a winning team, your team’s doing well, it makes for the year to be better, right?” Kessel said. “When you’re having fun, enjoying the game, everything is lighter and everything comes better to you.” Kessel is the kind of wing that this team has not had over the course of the Sidney Crosby era. Crosby has rarely skated with a talent like the Wisconsin native. He is excited for the chance to skate with Kessel and feels that the knocks on his new linemate are overblown. “Sometimes change is good,” Crosby said. “Sometimes it’s good to start with a clean slate. We’re definitely glad to have him here. “I think even his play-making ability is underrated, but he does a lot of things well. His speed and shot stick out the most.” Kessel’s 151 goals since the

2010-11 season rank fourth in the NHL behind Alex Ovechkin (206), Steven Stamkos (202) and Corey Perry (178). He ranks eighth among all NHL players over that span with 339 points, making the Penguins the only club with three players ranked in the top-15 during that span. Crosby is fifth with 347 and Malkin is 15th with 321. Kessel has broken the 20-goal and 50-point barriers for seven straight years. He’s a five-time 30-goal scorer and three-time NHL All-Star who possesses blazing speed, incredible skill and, most important, a shot that’s rivaled only by Ovechkin. Kessel and Crosby already have developed chemistry on the ice, and that has people wondering if Kessel could finally crack the 40-goal plateau, something that has eluded him in his career. “You always want to have a good year and help your team win any way you can,” Kessel said. “I’m going to do whatever I can to help Pittsburgh be successful. Hopefully I have a great year and help them win. I’m going to come there and do anything I can. “It’s a great opportunity for me. I never thought I’d get a chance to play in (Pittsburgh) and play with these guys, and I’m excited.”
On line 4, Matt Cullen will center Farnham and Daniel Sprong. Cullen is a prototypical fourth-line center and can match up against opposing top lines. He can also chip in offensively. Rookie forward Sprong, who shocked many by earning an opening-night job, will shoulder the offensive load, while at the same time learning the defensive side of the game on the job. His speed, shot and hockey sense are NHL-ready. He’s a work in progress but is primed to be one of the best stories of the first month. Farnham, who was the extra forward until the Dupuis injury, made the team and will skate in a fourth line role while getting significant time killing penalties. The Penguins love him. Eric Fehr starts on injured reserve and will jump into the lineup as soon as he is healthy. He can play center or the wing and will be a contributor on both sides of the puck and on the penalty kill. DEFENSEMEN It is no secret that all of the questions with this lineup lie on the blue line. There is a lot of youth, a lot of inexperience and some injury concerns. Olli Maatta and Kris Letang will be on the top pairing. These two have the potential to be one of the best pairings in the league, but neither has been able to put together a full season in recent years because of injuries. It is also worth noting that Maatta is just entering his third season as a professional. If they can stay healthy, each will make an impact in all facets of the game, logging time on each special teams unit and playing top minutes against opposing top lines. In the second pairing, Brian Dumoulin will play with Ian Cole. This pair isn’t locked in, but it makes sense. Mike Johnston was effusive in his praise of Dumoulin and has seen him grow by leaps and bounds over the past season. He also likes Cole’s game. Each player moves the puck well, can jump into the play and has the ability to chip in offensively. The issue will be quick exits and smart decisions exiting the defensive zone.
The other new winger
Rob Scuderi and Ben Lovejoy will play on the third pairing. This is the pairing that comes with the most question marks. Each player has seen his game dip a bit in recent years, but the hope is that they’ll provide stability and veteran leadership. If they were to falter, two younger players are waiting in the wings in Adam Clendening and Tim Erixon. Of those two, Clendening is the one who probably would get the first look. He has offensive pedigree and spent the past season working on his defensive game. He merely had to be good in training camp to earn a job. He is still a bit of a project, but the vibe is the staff wouldn’t hesitate to put him in the lineup.
The Penguins lured 25-year-old Russian forward Sergei Plotnikov away from the Kontinental Hockey League, where he had 145 points in 159 games over the last three seasons. Plotnikov’s reward? Playing alongside countryman Evgeni Malkin, who knows a thing or two about making the move from Russia to North America. “He understands, but sometimes he doesn’t understand what coach says,” Malkin said. “I try to help. The first couple of weeks, he’s been scared, maybe. But now he know the players. Now, I think everything is pretty easy.” AP
GOALIES This was the one spot that required little to no competition entering camp. Marc-Andre Fleury’s body of work speaks for itself, and he was among the best at his position last season. Jeff Zatkoff, who has just 21 games on his NHL resume, reclaims the job that he lost a year ago. The organization is comfortable having him hold down the backup gig, and he’ll likely start somewhere between 20-25 game. If he were to falter, Matt Murray, the top goaltending prospect in the organization, looks to be ready for NHL action. He had a tremendous camp that culminated in a 29-save performance during the NHL’s Kraft Hockeyville game in Johnstown before his reassignment.

Pirates up for challenge of Arrieta PIRATES, from B1
about what the Pirates’ lineup might look like. Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said he has decided on the lineup but declined to announce it, citing competitive reasons. “You research things, pay attention to things, you dig into things. I put on 15 pounds looking at pie charts the last two days,” Hurdle said with a smile. “It’s a whole new world out there to look at numbers. From a metrics analysis, you can take a pitcher and match him up against every hitter — swing path, velocity, spin rate. It’s crazy.” Hurdle doesn’t have a whole lot of good options. The players on the Pirates’ roster have hit a combined .170 against Arrieta with one home run, seven walks, 47 strikeouts, a .215 on-base percentage and a .216 slugging percentage. Little wonder that Arrieta is 6-1 with a 1.68 ERA in nine career starts against the Pirates, including 3-1 with a 0.75 ERA in five starts this season. The only Pirates hitter with any success against Arrieta is McCutchen, who is 8 for 23 (.348) with two doubles. The other matchups are ugly as utility player Josh Harrison is 1 for 10 (.100), third baseman Aramis Ramirez is 2 for 19 (.105), first baseman Pedro Alvarez is 2 for 17 (.118) with a homer, catcher Francisco
Cervelli is 2 for 13 (.154) with five strikeouts, second baseman Neil Walker is 4 for 25 (.160) with six strikeouts and right fielder Gregory Polanco is 3 for 16 (.188) with five strikeouts. “What we need to do is a find a different way for us to get some things done, and we’re very well aware of what he’s done, how he’s performed — the pitch sequences, the stuff, how it plays outs,” Hurdle said. “He’s been a very competitive pitcher and one of the elite pitchers in the league.” Cole also has proven to be a tough matchup for the Cubs, going 7-1 with a 2.88 ERA in nine career starts, including 2-1 with a 2.13 ERA in four starts this year. “Gerrit Cole is one of the best athletics I’ve seen pitch all year,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “Everybody talks about his physical ability, but athletically this guy’s outstanding. That is one of the things I’ve noticed. “First of all, the way he delivers the baseball is very fluid. Beyond that, if you watch him field his position and swing the bat, he’s a great athlete.” First baseman Anthony Rizzo is one of the few Cubs who has had success off Cole, going 6 for 17 (.353) with a double. “He’s a competitor,” Rizzo said. “He throws hard. He has good stuff. We have to go up there like it is any other righthander and stay within yourself and not try to do too much.”

PIRATES INSIDER Cubs’ Arrieta expects PNC Park crowd to be loud Those playful jabs he has been taking on Twitter toward Pirates’ fans are nothing personal, according to Jake Arrieta. The Chicago Cubs ace pitcher said Tuesday he is just having a little fun on social media and has great respect for the Pirates and the fans. Arrieta (22-6, 1.77 ERA in the regular season) will face Pirates right-hander Gerrit Cole (19-8, 2.60) on Wednesday night in the National League wild card game at PNC Park. “I think it’s a big part of the fan-player interaction, and it’s all in good fun,” Arrieta said before the Cubs and Pirates worked out at PNC Park on Tuesday. “I don’t mean anything negative towards anybody. It’s kind of the buildup to the game. You’ve got two very passionate fan bases.” PNC Park has become one of the loudest venues in the major leagues as the Pirates have transformed from a
franchise that had 20 consecutive losing seasons from 19932012 to one that is hosting the wild card game for a third straight season. “I expect it to be extremely, extremely loud from the get go,” Arrieta said. “I know the type of loyalty the fans have here. I know how passionate they are about their baseball here, and I wouldn’t expect anything less.” NOTEWORTHY Center fielder Andrew McCutchen won the Roberto Clemente Award, voted on by the Pittsburgh chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America, as the Pirates player who best exemplifies the standard of excellence set by the Hall of Fame outfielder. McCutchen won the award for the fourth straight year. Gerrit Cole won the Steve Blass Award, which recognizes the Pirates’ most outstanding pitcher, and reliever Jared Hughes won the Chuck Tanner Award, which goes to the player who is most cooperative with local media.

Cubs’ pitcher will rise above CHRIS MUELLER
ON THE PIRATES The happy version, the one that has the Pirates coming out on top later tonight at PNC Park, probably goes something like this: Jake Arrieta, cowed by a raucous sellout crowd at PNC Park, gets knocked around a little bit, faces adversity and crumbles. The horde, throbbing with energy, nearly 40,000 individuals but functioning as one being, simply overwhelms him. The reality is that tonight’s affair will almost certainly not unfold in that fashion. Not if Arrieta, currently in the midst of a superhuman three-month run, has anything to say about it. His dominance has been so complete that it seems reasonable to assume that Gerrit Cole could give up one run and still lose the game. Suggesting that Cole needs to be perfect in order for the Pirates to have a chance at winning is not only not hyperbole, but seems a sensible analysis of the situation. Don’t tell that to some Pirates fans, though. There does exist a school of thought that Arrieta will wilt in his first playoff game, that the pressure of the crowd and the moment will lay him low. These people cite Johnny Cueto’s disastrous start in 2013 as evidence in their favor. Never mind that Cueto was clearly a shell of himself, health-wise,
when that game happened. The prevailing sentiment is that he was rattled by the crowd, he dropped the ball literally, and then seconds later figuratively when Russell Martin took him deep on the next pitch for a 2-0 lead, and the rest was history. This reading of the past conveniently omits the fact that Madison Bumgarner, whose career numbers against Pittsburgh weren’t as dominating as Cueto’s entering last year’s Wild Card showdown, waltzed into a cauldron last year, blew snot rockets all over the mound, and stopped the Pirates dead in their tracks. It also looks past the fact that Arrieta, if anything, has been getting better and better. Joe Maddon throttled him down in his final start of the regular season, only having him toss 72 pitches after leaning on him for 100 or more in 10 of his previous 11 trips to the mound. Fans want to believe that they will be able to join efforts with the Pirates to positively impact the game for the home team. They want to believe, understandably, that their screaming and yelling and efforts to distract or unnerve Arrieta will not be in vain. The reality is that they will almost certainly have zero impact on the proceedings. Arrieta has even been good-naturedly trolling Bucs fans on Twitter, encouraging them to make the ballpark loud tonight. The Cubs’ ace is confident, and rightly so. His team is 17-1 in his last 18 starts. The loss? It came at the hands of Cole Hamels, who threw a no-hitter. Arrieta was literally beaten by near-perfection. His lack of postseason
experience probably doesn’t matter, either. Arrieta is almost 30 and has had to fight through inconsistency earlier in his career to emerge as the unquestioned ace of Chicago’s staff. He has been the best pitcher in baseball since the All-Star break, and his ERA since then is quite literally the best in baseball history. If anything, taking the ball in a do-or-die game is a reward for all his perseverance and hard work. Cole is not chopped liver in this equation — far from it, actually. He’s had an excellent year, so much so that most advanced analyses of each pitcher’s season suggest that it is one of the greatest do-or-die game pitching matchups in baseball history—perhaps the best. It is reasonable to expect that Cole will come with his absolute best stuff, and that he will dominate the Cubs, who haven’t had much luck against him this season. Cole will likely be excellent, but Arrieta figures to be even better. He’s been more force of nature than mere mortal since the beginning of July. You don’t beat a force of nature, you hope to survive long enough for it to run its course. A stalemate between Cole and Arrieta, leading to a battle of the bullpens, figures to be the Pirates’ best chance at victory. The bet here is that the Cubs scratch out a run against Cole, and Arrieta makes that, plus a late insurance run, stand up. He has been unfathomably dominant for months, with virtually no interruption whatsoever. He has only gotten better as the season has gone on. There is no reason to bet on that changing now, and I won’t. Cubs 2, Pirates 0.
NOTEWORTHY Dallas Keuchel pitched three-hit ball for six baffling innings, Colby Rasmus and Carlos Gomez had a homer each, and the Houston Astros beat the New York Yankees, 3-0, on Tuesday night in the American League wild-card game. Keuchel worked 16 scoreless innings against New York in the regular season, and the bearded 20-game winner was just as tough pitching on three days’ rest for the first time in his career. He struck out seven while walking one. “To come to Yankee Stadium and play that well was truly remarkable,” Keuchel said. Keuchel is the first starter with a scoreless postseason start on three days’ rest since Josh Beckett shut out the Yankees in the 2003 World Series.

TIMES STEELERS WRITER CHRIS BRADFORD RECAPS MIKE TOMLIN’S PRESS CONFERENCE
Steelers take new kicker, new attitude into Week 5 Four days after one of the more frustrating losses in his tenure, Mike Tomlin was back in front of the media Tuesday. Tomlin talked about what led to the overtime loss to Baltimore and what changes have been made since, including yet another new kicker and the return of a star wide receiver.
TALKING POINTS Josh Scobee, who was released on Saturday after missing two field goals against Baltimore, was “not hurt to my knowledge,” according to Tomlin. It had been reported that the veteran kicker had suffered a quadriceps injury.Tomlin said that Scobee was not part of a kicking competition Saturday — “wasn’t interested in that” — and that there was no inclination to give Scobee another week to right himself.
With 14 sacks through four games, the Steelers are getting after the quarterback as they had envisioned.The defense got five more on Baltimore, but don’t expect it every week.That was a byproduct of that week’s game plan as the Steelers blitzed more often and with more people than usual. “I wouldn’t read too much into it,”Tomlin said. “Ultimately, I believe, your ability to pressure the quarterback is measured by your ability to rush with four.” Tomlin said he was “generally pleased” with the performance of Vick and added that he was excited to see what the QB could do with a full week of preparation. “He’s only going to get better in terms of managing our offense and doing what’s required,”Tomlin said.
Chris Boswell, who replaced Scobee, did a “nice job” in a workout Saturday afternoon in less-than-ideal conditions at Heinz Field. “Got a great deal of comfort with him and excited about rallying around him and supporting him,” Tomlin said of the 24-year-old.Tomlin added that he values accuracy more than leg strength.
TE Heath Miller had just one reception against Baltimore by design, said Tomlin. Miller was used more in pass protection and to open up lanes for RB Le’Veon Bell. OL Chris Hubbard remains a viable option to play tight end again this week.
INJURY UPDATE LB Ryan Shazier (knee) and WR Markus Wheaton (ankle) are “dramatically improving” but are questionable for Monday night.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, Martavis Bryant should make his 2015 debut in San Diego, but Tomlin, exercising some gamesmanship, wouldn’t confirm if the receiver will play. The Steelers have until 4 p.m. on Monday to make a roster move to promote Bryant to the 53-man roster.Tomlin joked that he’ll “make it (at) about 3:58.”
TE Matt Spaeth (hand), CB Cortez Allen (knee) and NT Dan McCullers (knee) will be monitored this week.
The frustrating four THE STEELERS’ DEFENSE NEEDED A QUARTET OF KEY PLAYERS TO STEP UP THIS SEASON. SO FAR, THE RESULTS ARE INCONCLUSIVE. By Chris Bradford cbradford@timesonline.com
PITTSBURGH — The prevailing sentiment held that there were four players on defense — question marks with five years’ experience or less — who had to step up their games if the Steelers were to have any chance of success this season. So far the results have been mixed or incomplete. At best. Through the quarter mark of the season, the Steelers are 2-2 and the defense, despite low expectations, has played reasonably well, almost in spite of the four. As a unit, the Steelers are ranked 19th overall (14th against the pass, 20th against the run). Here’s a breakdown of how those four players have fitted into those results:
Despite reports that QB Ben Roethlisberger could return in just three weeks, in time for Week 7 at Kansas City, Tomlin offered no update but added that Roethlisberger is progressing.
Though Mike Vick didn’t throw deep against the Ravens, “it wasn’t a conscious decision,” according to Tomlin. Bryant’s return would give the QB an option, though. “If he’s in uniform, rest assured, that’s he a guy that’s going to be stretching the field vertically,” said Tomlin.
THIS ’N AT Stopping the Chargers begins with stopping QB Philip Rivers, who was drafted six spots ahead of Ben Roethlisberger in 2004. “He handles just about very aspect of their offense,” Tomlin said. “He gets them in appropriate plays in certain looks, almost always.”
If he had to do it all over again,Tomlin said he wouldn’t have changed much about the Steelers’ two fourth-and-short situations in overtime, in which they were stopped, against Baltimore. “Four-down territory is a mentality based on what transpired,” he said. “We’re not going to live in our fears. We’re going to be aggressive. Obviously, it didn’t work out that instance, but we’re not in any way discouraged about what we’re doing or who we’re doing it with. We just have to do it better.”
The Steelers will face TE Antonio Gates, who has finished a four-game suspension (PEDs), and expect to see plenty of two tight end sets. Tomlin expects CB Brandon Flowers to be lined up against Antonio Brown.
Tomlin was willing to give up rushing yards against Baltimore in order to get after Joe Flacco a little more aggressively and disrupt the Ravens’ play-action.They were able to do that, but also didn’t want to give up 191 rushing yards. “We exposed ourselves to the run a little more than we anticipated, but we give (Baltimore) credit for executing,”Tomlin said.
QUOTEWORTHY “It’s a fine line between being a backup and a Pro Bowl-caliber player. Often times it’s preparation and opportunity. He’s prepared and taken advantage of an opportunity.” — Tomlin, echoing predecessor Bill Cowher, on CB Ross Cockrell
AP FILE
STEELERS ILB RYAN SHAZIER
RYAN SHAZIER, ILB Though not blessed with great size, the 2014 firstrounder is unquestionably talented and might be the most athletic player on defense. Shazier’s Week 2 performance against San Francisco — in which he recorded 15 tackles (three for a loss), a sack, a forced fumble and one fumble recovery — only gives a glimpse of what he’s capable of doing. Unfortunately for the Steelers, Shazier’s also been quite brittle in his short pro career. That win over the 49ers was Shazier’s last game to date after suffering a shoulder injury/pinched nerve, but he hopes to be back Monday night in San Diego. Sean Spence has filled in admirably, producing eight tackles and a sack against Baltimore in Week 4. Last season, Shazier was gifted a starting job out of training camp but lasted just three games before going down with knee and ankle injuries that hampered him the rest of the way.
JARVIS JONES, OLB
He’s bigger and stronger, adding muscle in the off-season, but Jones has yet to solidify himself as a starter in his third year. James Harrison, the 37-year-old veteran, has received the bulk of snaps on the right side, including 48 against Baltimore to Jones’ 26. Jones has played well and has done a better job setting the edge, but it has yet to translate statistically. Jones has just nine tackles and, more concerning, no sacks. The Steelers have dropped the quarterback 14 times so far and are on pace for 56 on the season, their most since 2008. That Jones has zero and can’t get on the field in critical situations should be alarming, though Tomlin said Tuesday that he’s “not disappointed by any

In the days leading up to the season opener in New England, the Steelers made a surprise move by placing 12-year veteran Will Allen ahead of Thomas on the depth chart. It was a bitter pill to swallow for Thomas, who had been the logical successor to Troy Polamalu. Tellingly, coach Mike Tomlin said that Thomas needed to be better “above the neck.” Thomas has played just four snaps on defense, relegated once again to special teams standout as Allen has played well (second-leading tackler, one interception and one sack) alongside a rejuvenated and healthy Mike Mitchell. Obviously, the Steelers didn’t trade up to select Thomas with a fourth-round pick in 2013 to not start him on defense. His long-term future in Pittsburgh also remains very much in doubt.

The fifth-year pro is coming off a forgettable season in which, after struggling mightily and having his confidence shattered, he was benched and then ultimately placed on IR with a knee injury. Though Allen seemed poised for a strong comeback season after a solid showing in training camp, this season hasn’t gone appreciably better. Antwon Blake started — and didn’t play well — in Week 1 at New England, but hasn’t relinquished that role. Allen suffered a knee injury in Foxborough and hasn’t played since but could return Monday at San Diego. Even if he does play, it would seem the Steelers are moving forward with Blake and Will Gay with Ross Cockrell moving to the nickel. Allen was signed to a five-year, $26 million extension last August but his long-term future remains very much in question.

Mickelson brings leadership, emotion to Cup
NOTEWORTHY American Dustin Johnson, who hasn’t lost a match in nearly four years, returns to the team this year. Johnson was skipped over in 2013 when captain Fred Couples passed on him for thenrookie Jordan Spieth. “I was pretty (upset) I didn’t get picked,” Johnson said with a laugh. “Why you got to bring that up?” He also missed last year’s event, although he easily would have qualifed, because he was seeking professional help for “personal challenges.”
Players show support of Haas’ selection of ‘lefty,’ who shares experiences By Doug Ferguson AP Golf Writer
INCHEON, SOUTH KOREA — Phil Mickelson studied the line of the putt from both sides, and then he stood over an imaginary golf ball about halfway to the hole and gently swung his putter to make sure he had the right read. And it wasn’t even his shot. “The first part is going to slide to the right,” he told Presidents Cup rookie Chris Kirk, “and then it’s going to try to move back to the left.” Kirk narrowly missed the putt, and Mickelson winced. This was more than just one of his money games on a Tuesday at a big event. Mickelson had yet another rookie under his wing, relishing in his role as the guy who has played the Presidents Cup as many times as the U.S. captain (Jay Haas) and two of his assistants (Fred Couples and Steve Stricker). “His experience is huge,” Jimmy Walker said. “He’s playing with Chris Kirk and he’s telling him things through-
Only six American players are at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea who were on the last team that included Johnson. Even last year, three players who had been considered regulars for the Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup didn’t make the team. Phil Mickelson is the only player to appear in every Presidents Cup. Five U.S. players — No 1. Spieth, No. 4 Bubba Watson, No. 5 Ricky Fowler, No. 8 Dustin Johnson and No. 10 Zach Johnson — are in the top 10 in the world. The PGA Tour season opens next week with the Frys.com Open at Silverado in Napa, Calif. The AP
out — the history of his play, little tidbits here, something that might help Chris down the road in the next couple days. So I think that’s what really helps.” The history of Mickelson in the Presidents Cup is extensive. He has never missed one since it began in 1994, and this might be the most special of all. He was 30th in the U.S. standings and needed a captain’s pick to join the Americans at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea. Haas sought the opinion of the players who qualified, and it became an easy choice. “Across the board, the players were all in
when we were texting and talking to them,” Haas said. “The captains, certainly, were all about Phil. ... You could say, ‘Well, his play didn’t warrant being a consideration’ and all that. But I don’t know that you can put a value on what he means to the players and the demeanor he brings into the team room.” He showed that much at the first team dinner Monday night. Mickelson dressed for the occasion in flag pants, which look like pajama bottoms with a Stars & Stripes pattern. “I asked him if he was cooking because it looked like something a chef would wear,” Walker said. “American flag pants. It was great.” For all the incessant trash talking, side bets and laughs, there is a serious side to this Presidents Cup for Mickelson. He is proud of his streak — his 21st consecutive time playing in the Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup — he was as much a player’s pick as a captain’s pick. “That meant more to me than anything, and I’m appreciative of the chance to have felt how that feels to be wanted by the

th
other players,” Mickelson said. “And it was very emotional for me when I found out. It makes me just want to play hard and so anything I can to help us succeed.” That hasn’t been a problem for the Americans in the Presidents Cup. They haven’t lost this match against the International team (players from everywhere outside the United States except for Europe) since 1998 at Royal Melbourne, and they have won every time since a tie in South Africa. Mickelson became the first American to go 0-5 in South Africa in 2003, a forgettable year in which his wife nearly died giving birth to their third child and Mickelson failed to win a PGA Tour event for only the second time in his career. Jack Nicklaus was the captain of that U.S. team, and he marveled later about how Mickelson remained upbeat all week despite not winning a match. “He is the Alpha dog,” Zach Johnson said. “He does have kind of that mentality of, ‘You know what? I’ve done it and I know what it’s about.’ But there’s also a significant selflessness there. In other words, he knows he’s just 1/12 of the team. When you have a leader that gets that, that’s pretty awesome.”

LIFE WITH KIDS
I made myself follow my kids’ rules for screens By Jamie Davis Smith The Washington Post
Like most kids, mine crave screen time. So, like most families, we instituted rules to limit screen time for our children. Naturally, I think the rules are reasonable and for the benefit of my children — to make sure they don’t get sucked into an electronic void for hours on end, to give them time to pursue other activities, and to ensure they interact with friends and family. As an adult, I obviously have more leeway with my own screen time, but I find myself in front of screens more often than I would like. I wanted to see what would happen if I followed the rules I had put in place for my children.
No devices in the bedroom My kids are not allowed to have any devices in their room in large part because I don’t want them staying up too late, as I often do. Most nights I had at least two devices in my room — my phone and my tablet. Sometimes I also brought my computer with me. Once I stopped bringing devices into my room I found a huge improvement in the flow of my own evenings. I stayed focused on any work I had to do online before heading upstairs, which made me much more efficient. I had more conversations with my husband before going to sleep. I also got through the stack of magazines piled by my bedside and started a new book — all of which were much better reading material than the random links from Facebook I had found myself clicking on before bedtime.
No screen time in the morning Screen time in the morning would undoubtedly make my children late for school, so it’s not allowed. So it’s no surprise that the screen time I tried to fit in each morning was putting me behind schedule. Not looking at any screens in the morning has been the most beneficial to me. I used to justify checking email in the morning as an opportunity to quickly take care of a few things before the day began. I soon realized that not only was my morning check-in not so quick, but that it added an enormous amount of stress to the start of the day because I was inevitably distracted by things I could not take care of until after the kids were at school anyway. I am happy to report there is a whole lot less rushing and stress to my morning now.

ob Bickerton’s family planned a suite surprise to honor his 100th birthday. The Center Township man loves baseball, especially the Pirates. He and his son, John, attend at least 20 games a season at PNC Park, usually watching from upper-deck seats behind home plate. Not this time. Bob, along with 18 family members, watched the Aug. 30 game in a luxury suite below the park’s second deck between third base and the left-field foul pole. “It was like sitting in your living room,” he said of the experience. “It’s ruined us now,” said AND John, also of Center and a COUNTING retired teacher from the Center Area School District. The climate-controlled interior — approximately 640 feet — has a couch, comfy chairs, countertop with bar stools, private bathroom, flat-screen televisions and concierge service. Guests have the option of open-air suite seats, too. Food is catered. Run out of something? Simply pick up a phone and more is brought to you, John said. Bob also was feted in pregame ceremonies as a Fan of the Game. He was acknowledged on the field and had his picture posted on the 24-by-42-foot JumboTron. And he received a baseball, Pirates ball cap and T-shirt. Bob’s birthday is Oct. 11, but his family planned an early surprise for a couple of reasons. It’s easier to get the family together — some from Ohio and Maryland — on a summer Sunday than one in early fall now that school activities have resumed. Plus, they weren’t certain the Pirates would make it to the post-season. And even if the team did, the luxury suite probably wouldn’t have been available. “It was a complete surprise,” Bob said. He knew he and John had tickets to the game, but figured they’d be watching from their usual seats, not a luxury suite. Son Mike came in from Laurel, Del., but Bob thought he was coming home for a weekend golf outing. Not until they arrived at the gate — not the one they normally enter — did he suspect something amiss. “No, I don’t get out here,” Bob remembered telling John.

Bob Bickerton of Center Township is hugged by his great-granddaughters, Sasha Zurawski, 8, facing camera, and Rachel Zurawski, 6, both of Frederick, Md., as he arrives at a surprise party in a luxury suite at PNC Park.
“That’s when my son said, ‘You’re on the field today as a Fan of the Game.’ It was quite an experience.” The only thing that marred the day was the Pirates’ 5-0 loss to the Colorado Rockies. “They stunk that day,” Bob said. But the Pirates can redeem themselves Wednesday when they play the Chicago Cubs in the National League wild-card game. It’s a winner-take-all playoff: Pirates win and they move on to play the St. Louis Cardinals, division champs, in a five-game series starting Friday. Lose and the season’s over. You can bet Bob will be watching the game, albeit in his living
room. He likes the Pirates’ chances. They’re playing at home, and ace pitcher Gerrit Cole is on the mound. Either way, Bob’s a winner. You see, he grew up a Cubs fan.
‘We had it all’
Bob was born Oct. 11, 1915, in McMehen, W.Va., just south of Wheeling, the eldest of Jess and May Bickerton’s three children. His father worked at Wheeling Steel Corp., but was transferred to Gary, Ind., when Bob was 10 to work at a new plant U.S. Steel had built. “My mother must have felt like she had died and gone to heaven,” Bob said, moving from a small rural town to a thriving city — Indiana’s fifth-largest by 1930 — with department stores, theaters, parks, libraries, churches, schools and beautiful homes. “We had it all,” Bob said. The family left a house in West Virginia with kerosene lamps and an outdoor toilet to one in Indiana with “a furnace in the cellar and a bathroom in the house.” His high school — Emerson, which opened in 1909 — was “one FAN, PAGE C2

of the best high schools in the United States at the time, way ahead of the rest of the country,â&#x20AC;? said Bob. Emerson High School had an auditorium, gym, swimming pool, indoor track, band and orchestra rooms, industrial arts workshops and art studios. Jess, a baseball fan, often took his son to Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wrigley Field to see the Cubs or to Comiskey Park to watch the White Sox. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a lot of ballgames,â&#x20AC;? Bob said, but lost count of the number heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Several hundred,â&#x20AC;? John estimated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least once,â&#x20AC;? Bob said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got to see a lot of Hall of Famers playâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Honus Wagner, John Wehner, Bill Terry and Lewis â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hackâ&#x20AC;? Wilson, originally from Ellwood City. There was no Little League when Bob was a boy, but Gary sponsored recreational teams throughout the city. Every summer, Bob said he pitched a little, played infield. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d sit on the front porch listening to radio broadcasts of games and record hits, runs, errors and scores. He remembers the 1932 World Series â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Cubs against the New York Yankees. Desperately, he wanted to listen to the game on the radio, but it was a school day. He asked his mother whether he could skip classes. Only if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d call the school and get permission from his teacher, she said. Doubting that likelihood, Bob said he placed an â&#x20AC;&#x153;imaginary callâ&#x20AC;? to his teacher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I called the school, but held the receiver down.â&#x20AC;? He told his mother the school OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d his absence; he stayed home. Ultimately, his ruse was revealed when Mrs. Jones, vice principal and truant officer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;jumped all over me,â&#x20AC;? he said, when she found out he played hooky. Bob said he got a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tongue-lashingâ&#x20AC;? from his mother. But that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the worst of it. The Yanks won the series in a four-game sweep.

Rook, a card game, every night. Sometimes, when Corwin grew irritated with the kids, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tell Bob: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go home, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to throw you through the screen door.â&#x20AC;? As a teenager, a local pool hall was the place to hang out. One day, Corwin came in â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a day when the Pirates and Cubs were playing. Score updates came via reports from Western Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ticker tape, Bob said. Early on, the Pirates had a big lead, but the Cubs came back to win. Bob had already gone home and was sitting on the porch when Corwin walked by. Before Bob could say a word, Corwin looked at him, raised his finger and said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you say one word.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? Bob said. In 1934, he graduated from Emerson and attended a branch campus of Indiana University in Gary. The following year, though, he returned to West Virginia to help care for his aging grandparents. Like his dad, he got a job at Wheeling Steel Corp. in Benwood. On weekends, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take a bus from Wheeling to Pittsburgh to catch Pirates games Saturday and Sunday. A cousin introduced him to Mary Zaperach, whom he married July 12, 1941. Their birthdays were only a few weeks apart â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hers Sept. 28, his Oct. 11. Mary died Feb. 20 at age 99. She had Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, Bob said,
Always active
The promise of good jobs in the mill drew many men from the tri-state area to relocate their families to Gary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people from western Pennsylvania were out here as Pirates fans,â&#x20AC;? Bob said. One was Thomas Corwin, who hailed from the Mon Valley â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hotheaded Englishman,â&#x20AC;? Bob said, who loved the Pirates. Neighbors were neighborly in those days, said Bob, visiting back and forth. His mom and Corwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife played
suffering about seven years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took care of her for about a year until I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it anymore.â&#x20AC;? Mary then resided in a nursing home. Bob would visit nearly every day. If she had lived, the couple would have celebrated 74 years of marriage this year. In 1948, Bob and Mary moved to Beaver County to be closer to Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family. Bob also was growing tired of working three turns, especially midnight, at Wheeling Steel. He jumped at the chance for a daylight shift in the fabricating department of American Bridge Co. in Ambridge, where he worked for 30 years. Bob worked on construction contracts for bridges, including the New River Gorge in West Virginia, Mackinac in Michigan and VerrazanoNarrows in New York City; Gateway Arch in St. Louis; and U.S. Steel Building in Pittsburgh. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a founding member of Center Township Little League, a retired volunteer fireman serving with Center Township Company No. 1 for more than 50 years and a member of Monaca-Center Masonic Lodge No. 791. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the secret to living to 100? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no big deal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like anything out of the ordinary,â&#x20AC;? he said, with more people living longer today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was always active,â&#x20AC;? he said, walking a couple of miles a day. He gets his exercise now walking up and down steps to wash clothes. Still runs the sweeper. Still drives a car. Still grocery-shops. He and his brother-in-law enjoy a beer now and then at the Monaca American Legion or Monaca Turners. Bob keeps up with current events. He has an iPad and Facebook account. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Facebookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can talk to people all over the world.â&#x20AC;? His advice for longevity: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit in a rocking chair. Be opinionated, and have an open mind.â&#x20AC;? Besides his two sons, Bob has a sister, Thelma Burkett, 95, who lives in Tucson, Ariz.; five grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. One grandchild is deceased. The family â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including Burkett, whom Bob hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen in more than 20 years, and her family â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will gather again Saturday to celebrate Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100th birthday. And of course, if the Pirates play the Cards on Saturday night, Bob will be watching. He thinks the Pirates can make it to the World Series after a 36-year absence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about due to break out,â&#x20AC;? he said. That would be sweet.
Following screen rules screens, from c1
while driving, I will admit to keeping my phone within armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reach for a fast look at email or to check how many people liked my latest Facebook post at red lights. Once I stopped, I found that I interacted with the kids more in the car and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as distracted when talking to them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a welcome change that made car rides more enjoyable and allowed me to learn more about my kids since they were a captive audience.
No screen time on playdates I decided a long time ago that no matter what the rules were in other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s houses, when my kids had friends over, there would not be any screen time to ensure they engaged with their friends. Nevertheless, I often found myself sneaking a quick peek at my phone when I was with my friends or kids. It was only after I stopped keeping my phone within reach when spending time with others that I realized how much my quick check-ins were distracting me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and how rude I was being.
Limited time Ever since getting a Netflix account a few months ago, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become an avid binge watcher and have had more than one night when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been so totally engrossed in Don Draperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice how many hours had passed. I also tend to get lost online following links and doing endless Google searches. This has given me a new appreciation for why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to keep track of the time children spend in front of screens and made me realize that I needed to set limits for myself as well. Since setting a limit for non-work-related screen time, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become more responsible with my decisions about how I spend my time online and in front of the TV. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been making more thoughtful decisions about what to watch, post and follow. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not perfect and never will be. Since starting my experiment, I have backslid on more than one occasion. Nevertheless, every time I violate my self-imposed rules, I regret it, since I wind up stressed in the morning or realized I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t engaged with my kids all afternoon. I recognize that there will be times when I really do need to check on a work email or just decide that finding out what happens next on whatever show Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m watching is warranted. There are also times when my kids are driving me crazy and I need a break to check what my Facebook friends are up to. But overall, I think that the screen time rules I put into place for my children are good for me, too.

East Palestine man rolls second career 300 game at Sims Lanes By Greg Marchuska For The Times
Bill Busch, 45, of East Palestine, Ohio, rolled his second career 300 in the Beaver Falls City League at Sims Lanes in Big Beaver. Busch rolled his big game after a slow start. “In the first two games, I had 11 or 12 ringing 10 pins, two solid 9 pins and a pocket 7-10 split. In the last game, I moved all the way left and my right heel was on the end of the approach. I was playing fifth arrow and started to carry. Everything was solid,” Busch said. “In the 10th frame, I threw the first one and the machine broke down. I had to wait while they reset the rack and I threw the next two.” Greg Frederick, 27, of Ambridge led all bowlers with a 783 set in the Mixed Doubles League at Fair Oaks Lanes. He rolled a 277, 248 and 258. “This was the third week in a row I started strong,” Frederick said. “In the middle of the first game, I let the ball wide and I left the 2-4-5 pins. Going into the last game, I knew I needed a 275 for an 800. I began with the first three or four strikes, left a 7 pin and struck through the ninth. The 10th ball was bad off my hand all the way and it came in very weak. I kind of left the bucket and the 2 and 4 pins fell and I left the 5 pin,” Frederick said. The women were led by Mary Arendosh of Rochester Township. She rolled a 215, 236 and 231 for a 682 in the Trio League at Beaver Valley Bowl in Rochester. “In the first game, I missed the 10 pin. I was having trouble getting the corner pins out, so I adjusted. I came in at a different angle and I started carrying in the next two games. I never really calculated it for the 700, but I left a split in the last game,” Arendosh said. For the third week in a row, Sheri Fubio of Ambridge rolled the women’s high game. Fubio rolled a 259 in the Klunkers League at Fair Oaks Lanes. “I needed a double in
the 10th frame to get a 260-plus game. I got the first one and left a nine count and spared on the next one,” Fubio said. In other action, three bowlers missed 300s by one shot: Jason Woodrow of Brighton Township, Gary Zialkowski of Vanport Township and Don Oslick of Rochester. Woodrow rolled a career best 298 in the first game of the Beaver Falls City League. “I started off throwing the second arrow, and it was coming in too hard. I actually moved in and was throwing harder. At the end of the game, I was a little bit nervous and everyone stopped bowling around me. The ball came in hard and it hit the head pin dead on. I left the 6-10-pins,” Woodrow said. Ziaikowski rolled a 297 in the last game of the Rod and Wire League at Sheffield Lanes in Aliquippa. “The lanes dried up dramatically, so I changed to my old polished-up ball so it would go long. It was in the eighth frame of the second game and I had 16 strikes in a row. The very last shot I got it out too slow and too wide and I left the 4-6-7 split,” Zialokowski said. Oslick rolled a 290 in the BBB League at Baden Bowl. He left a 4 pin to start the second game and rolled the next 11 strikes to finish the game. He began the last game with four more strikes for 15 in a row.

Stepson and his sister are too close for wife’s comfort Dear Abby: I am happily married to a great man. I have a young daughter from a previous marriage, and my husband has two teenagers, a boy and girl, from a prior marriage. Like many blended families, we have our struggles, but one is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. I don’t know how to put this tastefully, but I’ll state it this way: My stepchildren are “too close,” if you know what I mean. They flirt, constantly touch each other and playfully tease each other. (A few people have even mistaken them for a couple.) My husband doesn’t seem to notice this unhealthy behavior. How can I get through to my husband or deal with this? Repulsed In Pennsylvania Dear Repulsed: Was the relationship between your husband’s children making you uncomfortable before you married their father? If so, did you bring it to his attention at that time? Family relationships can vary, and because I haven’t witnessed what you have observed, I can’t advise you other than to suggest that family counseling might be in order to determine whether the kids have a normal sibling relationship or if it has gone over the line. Dear Abby: Last spring we helped our daughter’s longtime friend move out of the dorm room she shared with our daughter. Her parents are divorced and weren’t available to help her move or give us money to help her, and she had just broken up with her boyfriend. We offered to let her stay at our home as long as she helped pay for groceries

and got a job. She got the job, but never helped pay for food or did anything around the house. After two weeks, she and her boyfriend got back together, and she was spending every night with him at his parents’ house. She would return to our home to eat, wash clothes, shower and use the Internet. I finally had to tell her this was not acceptable, and that she needed to decide to either live here or move in with her boyfriend. She moved out. Now, it is uncomfortable when she comes around. My daughter thinks I shouldn’t have made a big deal out of her sleeping at her boyfriend’s house and using our house as a place to park her stuff, eat and wash her clothes. What do you think? NoTime For Freeloaders Dear NoTime: You were generous to be as supportive as you were of your daughter’s former roommate. This has nothing to do with her sleeping at her boyfriend’s.

Mary Alice Anderson, was born April 5, 1917, the eldest child of Edward McCullough Anderson and Mary Biskup Anderson of Center Township. Mary died Friday, October 2, 2015, mid-way through her 99th year. Mary attended Center Township’s one-room schools and graduated from Monaca High School. She married George S. Weigel of Center Township and set up housekeeping in a small house on the edge of the Weigel Dairy Farm. They had two sons, Jim and Denver. In the spring of 1951, the family acquired and moved to a farm in New Sewickley Township where they made their home until George’s death in 1985. Mary was an active member of the Grange having been a patron and serving various offices at Center Grange and Big Knob Grange. She will be remembered by many for her role in Grange Fairs around the county where she worked the dining halls as well as contributing her many works to the handicraft competitions. In 1957, Mary was recognized by the Beaver Valley Times as a "Citizen of the Week" for work in service to her community. Mary and the family were charter members of the New Sewickley Presbyterian Church. As the century closed, a renewed acquaintance with a school friend and widower, Stanley Brobeck, opened a new chapter in Mary’s life. With their marriage in 1990, Mary returned to Center Township within five miles of her birthplace. Stanley Brobeck died in 2002 and Mary returned, in time, to a house her parents had built on land that had been part of Mary’s grandmother’s farm on Biskup Lane. She lived there, next door to her brother Edward M. Anderson, Jr. and his wife Ada Mae, until she moved to assisted living at Elmcroft of Chippewa in 2014. Mary was predeceased by her sister, Georgia Grogg, granddaughter Jaime Weigel, stepgranddaughter Gwen Miller, and step-son Stanley Brobeck II.

Walking the Americas: Woman preps for 5-year trek By Dave Skretta The Associated Press
SMITHVILLE, Mo. — The night before Bethany Hughes started on the Pacific Crest Trail, a 2,650-mile hike from Mexico to Canada, she was so wired that she kept rifling through her bags. Everyone else was asleep, but Hughes thought a “real” backpacker knew where to find anything she needed. So she kept pulling out gear, then repacking it. Over and over, all night. Eventually, another hiker said, “You’re like a 5-year-old the night before Christmas,” and her trail name of “Fidgit” was born. It has never fit better. Five years later, the 29-year-old with the curious inability to sit still is preparing to depart on her next daring expedition: She will attempt to become the first documented woman to travel the length of the Americas — from Ushuaia, Argentina, to Barrow, Alaska — entirely by nonmotorized means. The 20,000-mile trek will begin in December and take an estimated five years to complete. Along the way, Hughes plans to spend time in local villages and bear witness to their way of life, promoting education, opportunities for women and other social issues. “I really want to inspire others to pursue their own audacious goals,” she said, twirling in her fingers a small silver pendant of a woman hiking. “Our world is only as big as the information that we allow to come into it,” Hughes continued, “so I believe being able to share what’s going on to the opposite side of the world, and that they’re not so different than us, we’re going to make it a lot further.” Hughes traces her wandering spirit to her parents, Nazarene missionaries who spent time in Chile, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic during her childhood. Along with spreading the

Bethany Hughes walks through a park in Kansas City, Mo., as she prepares for her upcoming hike through the Americas. Hughes hopes to become the first woman to trek from the southern tip of South America to the northern tip of Alaska all by nonmotorized means. gospel, they instilled in her a passion for the outdoors. Hughes remembers her father going on hikes in the mountains, and she would hide in the back of the family car, popping out when he was far enough that there was no other recourse but to take her along. Later, she lived in Spain and studied abroad at Oxford. Six little footprints are tattooed up her foot, one for each country Hughes has lived in. “My family is very conservative, so me getting a tattoo was like, pushing some boundaries,” she said, smiling. “My dad was like, ‘You have to tell your grandmother.’ And she was like, ‘Oh, if you keep getting one for every country, you’ll have them all the way up your leg!’”
What does her father think of her latest endeavor? “There’s a lot of fear,” admitted Kendall Hughes, a chaplain at the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas. “Even with financial backing, there’s stuff you can run into — river crossings alone are dangerous. I don’t know how you can fully prepare.” Hughes understands the risks. She knows winters
in the Andes are brutal, summers in the tropics insufferable. The mountains are beautiful but deadly, wildlife always a wildcard. She fears other people most. Many countries in South and Central America are dangerous, even more so for a woman traveling by bicycle or foot. Hughes has tried to mitigate the risk by taking wilderness survival cours-
es, in which she has learned everything from how to forage for food to how to build shelters. She knows a bit of taekwondo. And she’ll have a traveling companion in South America, Lauren Reed, an experienced hiker in her own right whom she met on the Pacific Crest Trail. “I’m sure things will come up,” said Reed, who has also completed the Continental Divide Trail and Appalachian Trail — the so-called Triple Crown of hiking. “Things will happen as they happen, and if there’s something dangerous, my hope is we’ll figure it out.” Hughes has spent several years planning the trip, saving much of the estimated $12,000 she will need annually working multiple jobs. A few sponsors, such as Hyperlite Mountain Gear, have provided assistance. But most of her support has come through grassroots fundraising. The plan is to follow the mountains through Argentina, Chile and Peru, then continue north through Ecuador and Colombia. Reed intends to drop off at that point, and Hughes will continue on bicycle through Central America and Mexico, before heading through the U.S. to Canada. There, depending on the weather, she will hike, cycle or canoe. She may even drive a sled-dog team part of the way, a skill she picked up living briefly in Alaska. “I’ve found two gentlemen who have done this, both British,” Hughes said. “And six or eight people hiked over 1,000 miles of South America. Of those, three or four did all of
South America. I’ve mainly been going off their works, but also looking at other endurance tests.” The biggest advantage she has over those of previous generations is technology. Google Earth has allowed her to plot her path with reasonable accuracy, while DeLorme’s GPS system will keep not only keep her on track but allow a team of volunteers back in the U.S. to monitor her progress. She will carry everything she needs with her, from food and water to matches and cooking utensils, and resupply whenever she passes through a town or village. Her support infrastructure will also send packages to help her out — new shoes and clothing, for example, or a chocolate bar to lift her spirits. Physically, there is no real way to train for the trip — Hughes is in good shape, but it’s not as if she is running a marathon and can simply log miles. The only way to prepare for such an endurance hike is to do it. “Gear and social and cultural progress have made this a unique time in history, where we’re able to facilitate an adventure like this,” she explained. “I think the world is ready for a message like this, that little girls should pursue their own dreams.” There will be sacrifices. She is leaving just before the holidays, a time she would normally spend with family. People will get married while she’s on the trail. Some will have children; others may die. Hughes knows she will miss a lot of life over the next five years.

Downtown Durham, N.C., becomes magnet for diners, art lovers By Jonathan Drew The Associated Press
DURHAM, N.C. — On a recent Sunday, chatter from people waiting on the sidewalk for tables at Dame’s Chicken and Waffles wafted on a fall breeze across a tree-lined plaza where several people sat, read and sipped coffee. Across the street, a group celebrating their friends’ anniversary wandered into the barroom of Pizzeria Toro to drink cocktails and eat Neapolitan-style slices. In the past decade or so, downtown Durham has become a destination for diners, carousers and art lovers after years as a business district that was mostly lifeless on nights and weekends. The influx of trendy establishments has helped Durham shed its former image as the grittier sibling to North Carolina’s capital city, Raleigh, or the bucolic college town Chapel Hill in a tri-city region known as the Triangle. Its relatively compact size makes it easy to traverse the walkable mixture of bars, restaurants, galleries and music venues, yet the area is also dense enough to allow for hours of immersion without running out of things to do.

Running parallel is Parrish Street, which was once nicknamed
“Black Wall Street” for its mix of black-owned businesses including an insurance company whose former headquarters earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. Both streets are focal points of walking tours by outfits such as Preservation Durham.
South and west of downtown’s core are several retail and housing developments in former tobacco warehouses from what was once the city’s signature industry. Durham’s restaurant scene has been noted by Bon Appetit and Southern Living magazines. High-

lights in the heart of downtown include Revolution, where wine-paired tasting menus are created to order starting with the threecourse “Feed Me” option and growing from there. Savory beignets are a must-try appetizer at the French bistro Rue Cler, one of the pioneers of the downtown resurgence when it opened a decade ago. The area is as equally well-suited to an afternoon gallery hop as it is a latenight bar crawl. More than a half-dozen galleries dedicated to local artists inhabit storefronts, while the Durham Arts Council typically offers several exhibits at its campus. The Durham Performing Arts Center hosts touring theatrical performances and big musical draws, with other national acts playing the nearby Carolina Theater. Motorco Music Hall and The Pinhook are smaller rooms with a divey vibe for catching indie rock bands and local up-and-comers. On downtown sidewalks after dark, it’s not unusual to dodge packs of college students or young professionals going from bar to bar. Fullsteam Brewery stakes Durham’s claim to the craft beer boom, while Alley 26 incorporates such handcrafted mixers as

watermelon green tea and mole bitters in its cocktails. Among the most recent entrants to downtown are luxury hotels such as 21c and the brand-new Durham Hotel, which features a rooftop raw bar and sleek downstairs lounge.

Bridge Lightner strikes again Zia Mahmood is one of the world’s best bridge players. His clever ploys often achieve a good result for him — but not always. Zia, East, thought it a good idea to pass at his first turn, hiding his eightcard club suit. He was “walking the dog,” hoping to back in later with a five-club bid, perhaps confusing his opponents as to his strength and distribution. The auction quickly got away from him, and the best he could do at his second turn was to make a “Lightner” double, asking for an unusual lead, meaning not trumps and not the suit that partner bid. West, a top player from France, was in the enviable position of being on lead against a slam holding two aces — a slam that his partner has doubled! Knowing, from the auction, that North had a five-card or longer minor suit, West naturally presumed it was clubs. Not sure that his ace of spades was cashing, he confidently led the ace of clubs, expecting Zia to be void in that suit. Declarer quickly ruffed in dummy, drew trumps, and claimed his slam. West is a player known for both his great skill and his volatile personality. We would love to see the look on his face when he learned that Zia had an un-bid eight-card club suit. We would love to hear his comments also, but we don’t speak French. We hope that Zia doesn’t either. Note that six clubs by East-West would make easily.

As ‘The Flash’ feature film looks for direction, what could it all mean for TV’s ‘Flash’? By David Betancourt The Washington Post
20TH CENTURY FOX
Kristin Wiig, left, and Chiwetel Ejiofor in a scene from “The Martian.”
‘The Martian’ has a killer soundtrack — here are the 5 best musical moments By Emily Yahr The Washington Post
If you saw “The Martian” over the weekend, which opened No. 1 at the box office with $55 million, you probably didn’t expect to leave the theater with “I Will Survive” stuck in your head. And yet that might have happened, as the movie ends on a particularly joyful note and the music matches. That appeared to be the intent behind all of the movie’s musical tracks, primarily its retro disco hits, which are drawing comparisons to last summer’s addictive “Guardians of the Galaxy” soundtrack. (The music plot was the same in the original novel, though, years before “Guardians” was released.) Although some songs in “The Martian” might seem a tad too literal, producers say that was intentional — to fit every important moment. “The music was always there for comic relief or for some sarcasm,” editor Pietro Scalia told Billboard. “The songs are played with irony and were perfectly chosen.” Here are the top five musical moments from the film:
1) “Hot Stuff” by Donna Summer
A minor plot thread throughout the movie is that as astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is stuck on Mars, his misery is compounded by the fact that the only music available to him is courtesy of his commander, Melissa Lewis (Jessica Chastain) — and it’s all disco. He pokes fun at her taste as he keeps his video journal, but he eventually breaks down and has a minor dance party to “Hot Stuff” in the rover — particularly as he finds a way to increase the temperature on the freezing planet using a nuclear reactor.
2) “Turn the Beat Around” by Vickie Sue Robinson Again, Mark’s hatred of disco music helps give the film some lighter moments when he’s already in the worst possible situation of his life. Damon gives perfectly tortured looks when this classic comes on through the speakers.
3) “Love Train” by the O’Jays Corny? Perhaps — but
BEAVER COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM
the whole world literally did come together, as China helped bring Mark home with the help of its own space technology. It was the ideal song at the end of the movie as the camera panned to the many people who pitched in to rescue Mark from Mars.
4) “Happy Days”
That theme song gets Mark through some slow nights as he mulls how to escape Mars, and the Fonz’s cheerful comedy is a hilarious contrast to Mark’s miserable state of affairs.
5) “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor OK, technically, this was in the end credits, but it’s still a perfect way to wrap up the film as Mark indeed makes it out of Mars after a harrowing journey. It did take all the strength he had not to fall apart. Plus, the lyrics actually include the words “outer space,” which is even more fitting.
If there’s one element that can finally end speculation that DC Entertainment will ever connect its television and movie universes, it is this: the first Flash movie. Big-screen Flash is still years away — heck, we haven’t even arrived at next year’s “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice,” let alone a Justice League movie. But now, according to the trades, Seth GrahameSmith (co-writer on the forthcoming Lego Batman movie) is in talks to direct DC’s Scarlet Speedster in a feature film. Now, you’ll note that these reports come only a day before the “The Flash’s” Season 2 premiere on the CW. This timing is similar to when “The Flash” debuted strongly last season, and shortly after, Warner Bros. announced that Ezra Miller would be DC’s feature-film Flash. In other words: The Future Big-Screen Flash continues to cast a shadow over its TV compadre, and he doesn’t even exist yet. So, there are a few ways to read this scenario: 1. DC Entertainment really means it when it says that its movie and TV franchises won’t be connected. Yes, no matter just how badly you want to see Stephen Amell’s Green Arrow as a member of the Justice League alongside Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck. The superhero TV on CBS and the CW will be separate from the movie franchises. So you apparently should get over it in, well, a Flash. 2. On the other hand, this latest news could be a major smoke screen. On the CW’s “The Flash,” Season 2 is going to deal with other worlds; a new Flash (Jay Garrick); and the confirmation that multiple universes exist side by side. What if Grant Gustin’s Flash on the CW opened up a door to the DC Cinematic Universe.

blockbusters to go with it. I’m going to go with No. 3 for now. (Not that I wouldn’t love to see Oliver Queen and Batfleck talk charitable contributions to their respective cities.) After all, “The Flash” proved itself to be one of the very best superhero options on TV. Television pairs well with red. Which should keep us sated till the Flash feature film makes its way — taking its sweet time, ironically — to theaters in 2018, untethered and free to roam.

Yes, we like that Marvel movies are mentioned on ABC’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” And on Netflix’s “Daredevil.” But let’s not force it. The last time such matters were forced, we ended up with a Green Lantern movie. So, perhaps we should enjoy superhero TV and just be glad it is here — and you get zillion-dollar

3-D makes wire-walker’s story ‘bigger than life’ By Steve Dollar Special To The Washington Post
Almost as soon as he discovered the story, Robert Zemeckis knew he had to make “The Walk.” It was a decade ago when the creator of “Back to the Future,” “Forrest Gump” and other blockbusters came across a children’s book that illustrated the French acrobat Philippe Petit’s historic 1974 highwire walk between the twin towers of the newly constructed World Trade Center. “I thought, ‘This is the stuff that movies are best at,’” Zemeckis recalled. “I think of it like Robin Hood or Mark Twain. Even though it was a Frenchman, he was rooted in that American outlaw, dreamy-type thing that has to have this biggerthan-life tone.” Zemeckis threw himself into research and, soon enough, got in touch with Petit himself and bought the rights to his life story. “I spent a lot of time with Philippe and he’s a great storyteller and I just pounded him with questions about what it felt like, what it felt like, what it felt like,” he said. “And he gave me everything that he had.” Alas, Zemeckis also learned that he wasn’t the first filmmaker on the case. “Philippe said, ‘They’re making a documentary.’ I figured someone would be,” the director said, alluding to James Marsh’s 2008 account
Sony Pictures
Joseph Gordon-Levitt portrays Philippe Petit in a scene from “The Walk.” of the feat, “Man on Wire,” which won an Academy Award. That didn’t matter. “I knew this could be a great 3-D movie,’” Zemeckis said of the film that hit theaters this past weekend. More so, it had be a 3-D movie. The filmmaker felt that a fablelike story of an obsessive French aerialist who executes an illegal walk 1,350 feet above the ground could only be fully experienced as cinema magic. Even in “Man on Wire,” there are only photographs to capture Petit’s feat. What if Zemeckis could put the audience up on the wire with Petit, taking step by vertiginous step, walking across thin air? “I’m fortunate that everything I’ve ever done in my career technically prepared me for making this movie,” said the director, who spoke during a recent visit to New York, where “The Walk” was the opening-night selection
of the New York Film Festival. Zemeckis has long been regarded as one of Hollywood’s masters of spectacle. In Petit and his heart-stopping accomplishment, he had to re-create a moment that was already spectacular in itself. “Nothing ever was insanely daunting,” said the filmmaker, who shot “The Walk” on a soundstage and various locations in Montreal, which doubled for both Paris and New York. “Like, ‘Oh my God, how are we going to be able to do this.’ I have so much experience with what can work and how we can make things work.” Actor Joseph GordonLevitt, who plays Petit, trained with the acrobat, and really does walk across the stretch of cable depicted in the movie. Only, he was 12 feet above the ground, with a small set in a corner. “When he’s doing the deal, he’s up
there,” Zemeckis said. The filmmaker is as comfortable working with the digital process as Petit is on his wire. “I love small cameras, like the size of a softball,” he said. “Finally, you don’t have to have this 50-pound thing you have to move around. I love the way you light with LED lighting now. Anything that moves this process around quickly I like it more. I get more time to work with those actors.” Indeed, for all its technical dazzle, “The Walk” had to succeed on emotional and psychological levels for viewers to lose themselves in the experience. “It was very much like five guys plotting to knock over a bank or casino, except nobody got hurt and they didn’t steal anything,” said Zemeckis, whose version of the story plays a lot like a caper flick — a gravity-defying “Ocean’s Eleven.” “The only guy doing things like that now is Banksy.” If the movie’s final halfhour has people holding
their breath, that has as much to do with sleight-ofhand — even with the occasional object whizzing off the screen. “The spectacular moments are kind of easy because you know what the mission is,” Zemeckis said. “You have to use 3-D to enhance the moment if it’s a subtle one. We’re supposed to make our films so that the filmmaking vanishes and the audience is immersed in the story — and isn’t aware of the camera technique. ‘Oops! There’s a director there!’ When 3-D does that in the right place, it works even more.” In the film’s climactic sequence, Petit realizes he must get off the wire and surrender to the police waiting for him on the tower roof. There’s a storm whipping up and an eerie premonition in the sudden appearance of a white bird that flutters above his head. Before he leaves his suspended moment to history, though, Petit indulges in a kind of farewell ballet.
“On paper you can image how dry that must look,” Zemeckis said. “When Philippe would relate to me what he was doing and feeling, I was able to glean the elements that would make it into a scene, if you will, and not just watching a dance number.” “The Walk” isn’t necessarily intended as a statement, although its embrace of grand emotions can’t help but evoke nostalgia for the vanished towers. “Do something that’s emotional, do something that’s humorous, do something cynical, do something thought-provoking,” he said. “Movies are so compartmentalized now. We’re doing a drama so we can’t have a moment of humor in it. If you’re doing a big elaborate comic-book movie you better not have anything that touches on anything real; you might offend somebody. “We’re supposed to use the simplicity of the art form to try to help us feel what we can’t explain.”
Throughout history, at home, home and overseas, they’ve put their love for their country about above all else.

‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ is a gripping tale of faith and love If You Go
By Chris Bondi For The Times
PITTSBURGH — Where there’s despair, there’s also hope. World War II history is filled with tales of tragedy. The treatment of Jews and people of other ethnicities by the Nazis in Europe left millions without hope and, unfortunately, remains one of humanity’s sadder legacies. Yet the theme of maintaining hope in the face of darkness is at the heart of “The Diary of Anne Frank,” being presented by the Pittsburgh Public Theater through Oct. 25 at the O’Reilly Theater. The story of Anne Frank is perhaps the most wellknown personal tale to come out of World War II. Much of it was chronicled by Anne herself. For two years, the 13-year-old Jewish girl kept a diary while her family and another Jewish family hid in an upstairs store attic to avoid capture by the Nazis. Eventually, they were all discovered and sent to concentration camps. Anne, her sister and her mother died before the end of the war. Her father survived, and was given Anne’s diary by a family friend who had been helping to hide them. Eventually, the entries of her diary, which included stories, poems and other writings, formed the basis of the play penned by screenwriters Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett. The Public’s production of that play, “The Diary of Anne Frank,” is an honest and moving piece of theater, highlighted by the performance of Remy Zaken in the title role. “The Diary of Anne Frank” is a challenge from a directing standpoint, for it’s a very talkative play. What’s more, the play’s setting requires the ensemble of 10 performers to be boxed in for a good portion of the show. But director Pamela Berlin does an effective job of moving the actors in and out of scenes and keeping things visually interesting.

Randy Kovitz as Otto Frank, Remy Zaken as Anne Frank and Christine Laitta as Edith Frank in the Pittsburgh Public Theater’s production of “The Diary of Anne Frank.” these more lighthearted moments and perform them to near perfection. While not given the opportunity to enjoy much of the humor, Randy Kovitz delivers a finely tuned and heartfelt performance as Anna’s father,
The result is a series of nuanced, unspoken moments that nicely accentuate the dialogue. All of these lovely moments are set against the backdrop of Michael Schweikardt’s set design, which effectively conveys to the audience the sense of claustrophobia that the characters are often affected by throughout the play. The first act runs approximately 90 minutes, but never feels quite that

long thanks to the fluid pacing and staging. Things were bogged down just a bit in the second act, though this could be more a product of the wordy dialogue rather than the direction. An element of the show that audiences might find surprising, particularly given the weighty subject matter, is the amount of warm humor present.

GARAGE
Otto Frank. From the moment the play starts, the pain of his loss is keenly felt. Truth be told, the entire ensemble deserves credit for outstanding work. Yet the real star of the production is Zaken. Her Anne is
delightfully precocious. She speaks her mind, despite her words often surprising and even infuriating her elders. As the play progresses, though, we see the blossoming of a young girl who, despite her situation, has developed a mature belief in humanity and a constant hope for a better future. Of course, anyone familiar with Anne’s real-life tale is well aware going into this production that it’s not going to be a feel-good story with a happy ending. While there are many tender and comical moments, the story is laced with tragedy. That being said, if we are to take anything away from it, perhaps it should be a reminder of how low our humanity can sink but also an understanding of how high we can rise if we really want to. Thank you, Anne Frank, for helping to give us that understanding.
