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 After Prohibition was repealed, he became a Federal Alcohol Tax Unit investigator in Tennessee, Kentucky and southern Ohio.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!

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.

Elk County Man Accused Of Downtown Butler Burglary
Butler Radio
An Elk County man has been charged with felony burglary after allegedly admitting to stealing items in the city of Butler.
Butler City Police responded to West North Street Wednesday night for the report of an individual attempting to enter a residence by pushing in an air conditioner.
The man who lived at the apartment said 37-year-old Eric Dippold who he barely knew pushed in his AC unit and entered halfway through the window before the man confronted him. Police also spoke with Dippold who was still at the scene claiming that he was friends with the man and just checking on him due to health concerns.
Dippold was found to have a ceramic vase and an amplifier in his possession that he claimed a friend gave to him. Later at the police station after he was taken into custody, Dippold allegedly admitted the items did not belong to him and were taken from several locations on North Chestnut and West North Streets.

Willow Creek Triathlon enters 13th year
This year’s Willow Creek Triathlon is sure to be lucky for veterans — even if it’s the 13th year of the event.
The triathlon, which is set for Saturday, Aug. 4, raises money for the Disabled American Veterans of McKean and Warren counties. The money raised is earmarked for transportation. The money raised is used to purchase and maintain vans providing transportation of veterans to and from VA hospitals and clinics.
Last year, $43,154 was raised; $277,982 has been raised over the past 13 years.
“Each year, our events gets bigger and bigger and it is all due to those who participated, volunteer and sponsor this worthwhile cause,” said Race Director Gregg Reynolds. “It is very gratifying to hand over checks to these local chapters, knowing that our local vets — local heroes — will benefit from our triathlon.”
The event starts with a 300-yard swim in Quaker Lake at Allegany State Park in New York. The next leg of the triathlon is a 15-mile bicycle ride, which crosses into Pennsylvania to the Corydon Hotel, 3307 W. Washington St., Bradford. From there, participants run the final portion three miles to the Willows Restaurant, 2669 W. Washington St.
The sprint triathlon is a point-to-point event.
A duathlon is also part of the race. This will include the 15-mile bike ride and the three-mile run.
Participants can do the triathlon or duathon by themselves or part of a team.
Awards will be given in both categories in a multitude of age groups.
Registrations are now being accepted at www.score-this.com.
On Aug. 4, registration starts at 7 a.m. at Quaker Lake. A rules meeting will be held at 9 a.m. and the swimmers head out starting at 9:30 a.m.
Entry fees are $50 for an individual and $90 for a team.
In addition to the age divisions, there are two other divisions.
The Clydesdale and Athena divisions are for teams or individuals where all members must be over 200 pounds and 150 pounds, respectively.
Registrations will also be accepted Friday, Aug. 3, at the Bradford Family YMCA, 59 Boylston St., from 3 to 6 p.m. During this time, participants can also pick up their race packets.
In the triathlon, the top male and female individuals receive the Thom Maholic Memorial Award. The award is given in memory of Maholic, who was a Green Beret with Special Forces in Afghanistan. He died in a battle in June 2006.
Also, the Brad Keltz Braveheart awards are given to those who make an extra effort to participate and complete in the triathlon.
This award is given in memory of Keltz who participated in the triathlon for several years.
There are many other ways to help with the cause, including sponsorships, donations and purchasing mile markers, which can either advertise a business or honor someone special.
Also, veterans can be recognized in a special way.
Those interested can go to www.willowcreektriathlon.org to find a form they can fill out and submit.
During the race, participants will wear the name of a veteran. At the finish line will be the short biography of his or her military career as submitted to the group.
To honor veteran, mail it to Willow Creek Triathlon, P.O. Box 51, Bradford, PA 16701 by July 26.
Gold Star families will also be recognized.
Those interested in honoring a Gold Star family can contact Dennis Faucher at 814-362-1575 or by email at drfaucher@verizon.net.
