Penn State for Tuition, Room and Board Freeze for In-State Students
 |
| Mike Turzai (R-Allegheny) |
“Penn State showed it wants to help ensure college remains affordable for Pennsylvania students by freezing its tuition and room and board rates for Pennsylvania students. When legislators voted to increase funding for the state-related schools, including Penn State, by 3 percent, the hope was that its governing board would freeze the rate for in-state students.
“Thank you to President Eric Barron and the Board of Trustees, who sent a strong statement to students, families and the public by voting in favor of the tuition freeze.”
Penn State received an increase of $7,575,000 in the 2018-19 budget passed by the House.
Wellsboro, Galeton Dispatched For Motorcycle Accident On Rt. 660
Eliot Ness, 54, of Coudersport, PA formerly of Cleveland, OH
Eliot Ness, 54, of 105 E. Third Street, Coudersport, formerly of Cleveland, passed away suddenly on Thursday, May 16, 1957, at 5:15 p.m., at his home.
Mr. Ness was born on April 19, 1903 in Chicago, Ill., the son of the late Peter and Emma (King) Ness. On January 31, 1946, he married the former Elisabeth Andersen, who survived.
He attended the University of Chicago and earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He also studied criminology. Mr. Ness began a career in law enforcement with the Treasury Department’s Bureau of Prohibition. He was assigned to head up a task force of trusted, incorruptible men, which the media would label “The Untouchables,” as part of the federal government’s crackdown on organized crime in the Chicago area symbolized by mob boss Al Capone. Mr. Ness’s team focused on violations of the Volstead Act, prohibiting the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Other investigators gathered evidence of tax evasion. Mr. Ness would later become a Chief Prohibition Investigator for the federal government’s Midwest District. After Prohibition was repealed, he became a Federal Alcohol Tax Unit investigator in Tennessee, Kentucky and southern Ohio.
Based on his outstanding record in federal service, Mr. Ness was appointed by Cleveland, Ohio, Mayor Harold Burton to serve in the influential position of Public Safety Director. He was chiefly responsible for reform of the police department, innovative solutions to traffic problems, institution of city-sponsored activities for troubled youths and a successful crackdown on organized crime and corruption.
Mr. Ness also served in an important position for the Federal Social Protection Program during World War II, traveling to military bases across the country in a law enforcement and public education capacity. He eventually entered the business world, where he served as chairman of the board of directors for Diebold, Inc., of Canton, Ohio. At the time of his death, he was president of the Coudersport-based Guaranty Paper Company, a subsidiary of North Ridge Industrial Corporation.
Mr. Ness was survived by his wife; a son, Robert Eliot Ness; a sister, Clara Jamie of California; and a brother, Charles Ness of Indianapolis, Ind. He was preceded in death by his parents and two sisters, Effie and Nora.
Services were held on Saturday, May 18, 1957, the Grabe Funeral Home, 210 North East Street, Coudersport, with the Rev. Robert H.R. Loughborough, minister of the First Presbyterian Church, Coudersport, officiating. A cremation followed. In 1997, Eliot, Elisabeth and Robert Ness were interred at Lake View Cemetery, Cleveland, Ohio.
Everyone is welcome to visit the Thomas E. Fickinger Funeral Home (formerly Grabe Funeral Home), 210 North East Street, Coudersport, this weekend during the festival for light refreshments and a commemorative laminated obituary book marker, in celebration of Mr. Ness’s Life.

THINK ABOUT IT!!
Overloaded
by
Pastor B.J. Knefley
Overloaded is a dangerous spot to be in. If you overload an electrical circuit you could cause a fire. Overload your life, your emotions and you can cause a breakdown of your body, soul and spirit. Again, it’s a dangerous spot to be in. So why do we allow ourselves to go there?
I’d like to say that I’ve never allowed myself to become overloaded, but I have. It’s not because I felt tough or that somehow I’d be okay. No it was more because I felt responsible and didn’t set up good boundaries. Responsible to the point that when I should have said no, I didn’t. Responsible to the point that even when I knew that I was not in a good spot I pushed on anyway. Why would we continue down a path of self-destruction?
I can’t speak for everyone, but for me it was something that I learned at a very young age. What was it that I learned? It was the false belief that I was responsible to make everyone happy. I remember being asked what I wanted and I responded that I wanted another person happy. Four times I was asked the same question and each time I said I wanted the other person happy. I finally blew up and said, “Why do you care what I want when no one in my life cared what I wanted!” WOW! I didn’t know that I believed that but I did. I wish I could say that sudden revelation dramatically changed my life but it didn’t. Why? Because now I had to learn to be in touch with my own emotions, wants and desires. I was so good at taking care of other people that I didn’t know how to take care of myself.
What have I discovered? I’ve discovered that I do have feelings, wants and desires. I do have an opinion as to what I want to eat or where I want to go. I learned that I can voice my thoughts and it’s okay if someone doesn’t agree. I’ve learned that I’m not responsible for the happiness of others. I’ve learned that I am responsible for how I handle life. I’ve learned that being overloaded is what I do to myself. I’m responsible for maintaining a healthy balance. It’s what we all have to do. Think about it.
It’s The Eliot Ness Fest Weekend coming up!
And we, at The Hotel Crittenden couldn’t be more excited about this festival dedicated to our most famous guest!

STREET SWEEPER ACCIDENT CLAIMS LIFE OF PEDESTRIAN
FNN Article © 2018
COVINTON, PA - On Wednesday, July 18, 2018, Blossburg fire, ambulance and Blossburg Borough Police responded to a vehicle verses pedestrian accident just before 2:00PM in Putnam Township.
The accident involved a street sweeper backing up and striking 72-year-old, Lloyd R. Byers of Manheim, PA., in front of the Treasure Chest, which is located at 2210 North Williamson Road, in the small town of Covington, PA.
According to Blossburg Borough Police, at the time of the incident, the northbound lane of North Williamson Road was closed due to a road resurfacing project taking place. Byers entered the closed portion of the roadway to look at the construction taking place and was accidently struck by the street sweeper while it was backing up. Byers was subsequently knocked to the ground and struck his head. He was transported by the Blossburg Ambulance to a landing zone set up at the old Covington School. Life Flight 4 landed in a field by the old school around 2:45PM and Byers was loaded into the medical helicopter around 3:00PM and was flown to Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, PA.
Blossburg Borough Police reported that Lloyd R. Byers later passed away that evening at the hospital due to his injuries. Police noted that the incident has been ruled accidental.
Prayers have been requested for Byers family and friends, as well as, for the person who was operating the street sweeper.
Special thanks going out to all the Blossburg Borough Police, Blossburg fire crews and the Blossburg ambulance personnel, who assisted at the accident scene.
