Rushford Dispatched For Man Who Has Fallen Through A Barn Roof
At 5:55 PM on Saturday, Rushford Fire & Rushford one dispatched to the scene at 9582 Brookfield Road in Rushford for a male who has fallen through a barn roof and has suffered a serious fracture. Rushford ambulance is on scene. A helicopter has been requested. Life Net 7-7 is responding.
Eldred Dispatched To Crash At Larabee Y
At 3:21 PM on Saturday, Eldred Township Fire Dept. has been dispatched to a motor vehicle accident at the Larabee Y intersection of Rt. 446 & Rt. 155, south of Eldred. Caller reports no injuries.
USE CAUTION IN THAT AREA--VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE ROADWAY.
Massive Police Response Follows Report Of 2 Men by Railroad Sluice Near Friendship, NY
Police have converged on an area just east of the Friendship rest area on I-86 where a resident reported 2 men seen near a sluice pipe going under the railroad tracks between County Road 20 and I-86, nearly across from the Tuckers Corners Road following a report at 1:25 PM. Vehicles are being stopped at roadblocks in the area and County Road 20 is completely closed except to residents. State Police aviation has been brought in for aerial surveillance.
Unconfirmed reports in the Corning/Elmira area resulted in a search of that area earlier this week that reached down into Tioga County in Pennsylvania produced no results. All railroad traffic through Allegany County has been suspended.
Public should be advised to avoid travel in the area affected as roadblocks and closed roads will impede your travel and interfere with police operations. Anyone sighting these two men should call 911 in Allegany County.
5:16 PM--Relocating command post to the Friendship Fire Hall.
11:00 -PM--Many false alarms were checked out throughout the day with no results. Many calls from the public reporting shots fired which turned out to be fireworks, lights on in an abandoned house in Friendship, also negative, open doors, motion lights coming on for no reason and etc. Police want residents in the area restricted to have them check their houses before they return to them.
Reports from many news agencies lacked any accuracy, one placing the search in the Bolivar area instead of Friendship.
We've had our ears glued to the scanner all day with a lot of activity, but very little to report. The two men seen in the original report matched the description of the escapees, and police are taking it as a serious possibility, but in no way do they know for sure it is the escapees. They are still searching the area in Clinton County, NY from where they escaped.
A BOLO was issued earlier in the evening of a possible siting of a red 4 door Hyundai with PA plates containing 2 men who match the description, 2 women and a dog reportedly headed to Potter County. Reporters from WETM reported they were heading to Potter County. It is also unknown if this report has any credibility or not.
A PHONE CALL TO THE COUDERSPORT STATE POLICE BARRACKS AT 11:40 PM FOUND THAT THAT AGENCY HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE REPORT THAT THE ESCAPEES MAY BE HEADED TO POTTER COUNTY, PA.
Centerville Dispatched For Rollover Crash
At 1:57 PM on Saturday, Centerville Fire Rescue & Rushford Ambulance have been dispatched to Route 243 & Fairview Road for a one vehicle rollover crash with one patient injured.

PRESS RELEASE
The New York State Police is investigating the possible sightings
of two men in Steuben County who may fit the description of Clinton
Correctional Facility escapees David Sweat and Richard Matt.
Witnesses spotted two men on June 13 walking near the Gang Mills rail yard on Rita's Way in the town of Erwin. The next day, two men with the same description were spotted walking along County Route 115 in the town of Lindley, heading toward the Pennsylvania Border.
Earlier this week, State Police investigators were in both communities conducting interviews in an effort to verify the sightings. The investigators have also obtained surveillance camera video of the two men, which was inconclusive. The video is now being sent to Albany for further analysis to determine if the lead is credible.
While this is an unconfirmed sighting, the State Police is asking residents who live in this area along the New York-Pennsylvania border to be on alert. If these men are spotted, please call 911 immediately. Do not approach, as both are considered to be very dangerous.
If anyone has any other information regarding the escape, please call 1-800-GIVETIP. New York State is offering a reward of $50,000 for information that leads to the capture of either suspect ($100,000 for both). The U.S. Marshals Service has placed Sweat and Matt on their 15 Most Wanted Fugitives List, and is also offering a $25,000 reward for information that leads to the capture of either suspect.

“Ever Hero Has a Story"
The Galeton Public Library would like to say thank you to the following for making our summer reading kickoff “Ever Hero Has a Story" such a big success on Thursday June 18th, 2015.
The theme for the evening was Community Hero’s and here are our heroes of the evening.
Police Chief Brackman who did fingerprints and photos, Chief Phelps who brought his K-9 dog Akayla, Dawn Pletcher who talked about Goodies for the Troops and the veterans, Tiffany Novinger who talked about being a substitute teacher, retired school nurse
Nancy Smail told how things have changed since she was a nurse, Jessie Green ambulance driver and EMT talked about Tommy the Moose and how he can help easy kids fears in stressful situations, Ty Miller and Vince Bowen told the kids don’t be scared of the fireman when they come in their fireman gear or have to use their loud equipment to save them, Fire Chief Joe Cimino talked about what it is like to go out to a fire and what all the other jobs being with the fire company does for the community.
One of the highlights of the evening was when the firetruck and fire and rescue got called into action for an emergency and had to go set up the landing zone for the helicopter at the school, so the kids got to watch the helicopter come in to land for transport.
Most importantly thank you to the 33 parents and other adults and 32 kids who came because without you this program would not have been a successful story. Remember Every Hero has a Story and everyone is a hero in some way.

Were you able to read that? Apparently some can not, perhaps you are one of those. What I find interesting is that some, like myself, can read it as easily as if it were spelled out correctly. For me and others, this presents another problem. When I’m proof reading papers I can read over mistakes because I can’t see them. I read words that are not there and my mind corrects misspellings so that I don’t see the mistakes.
Life I have found is interpreted by what we see. Note that I said by what we see, not by what is. In other words, our interpretation of our world is subject to how we see it. We often interpret through the lenses of our experiences, both the good and bad. I wear glasses and if you were to put my glasses on your world may appear blurry and distorted. Our experiences, like glasses, affect our ability to see things.
Today was one of those days that I had trouble seeing what was right in front of my nose. I was doing some carpentry work for my niece and several times I found myself looking for the tape measure only to find that I was holding it in my hand. Later I did the same thing with the pencil and hammer.
In the natural order of life we all find ourselves in those places where we’re looking for something that is right in front of us, we just can’t see it. It’s the same with God. He can be working in our lives and the lives of others while we are oblivious to his presence. We can miss His message to us because our experience is telling something different. I know of only one way to experience God. It’s called practice. Think about it.

Era Reporters Detail Collapse Of Pennsy Bridge On Rt. 219 In Ridgway
3 hurt, one seriously in Ridgway bridge collapse
By COLIN DEPPEN Era Reporter and MARCIE SCHELLHAMMER Era Associate
Bradford Era
RIDGWAY — A Ridgway bridge undergoing a $2.2 million overhaul partially collapsed on Thursday afternoon, injuring three contractors, one gravely, and snarling traffic for miles, officials said.
The collapse of part of the “Pennsy Bridge” on U.S. Route 219 (North Broad Street) in the borough was first reported around 2 p.m., along with traumatic injuries to several workers on or around it at the time.
A widely circulated surveillance video from a nearby hardware store shows two workers walking near a large piece of excavating equipment on the bridge’s northbound lane when the road suddenly gives way, swallowing all three. Reports about the placement of the third worker injured in the collapse are conflicting.
The identities of those involved were not immediately clear. Officials with the contractor, Francis J. Palo Inc. of Clarion, confirmed one as a company employee and the other two as subcontractors. No other information was immediately available. Read more....

Causer Comments on Basic Education Funding Report
HARRISBURG – A commission established last year to study the formula for funding basic education in the state’s 500 school districts released its report on Thursday, said Rep. Martin Causer (R-Turtlepoint).
“Education is always a top priority in the General Assembly, and it is important that we fund our schools both adequately and fairly,” Causer said. “I appreciate the work of the commission in studying our existing funding formula and look forward to further review and discussion of the recommendations contained in the report.
“My goal, as always, is to ensure our rural schools have the funding and resources necessary to provide a quality education to our students,” he added.
In its report, the commission recommends a new formula that takes into account several student-based factors, including student population, poverty, English language learners and charter school enrollment. It also includes a “sparsity size adjustment,” which is intended to adjust for the unique challenges facing small rural school districts.
The commission’s report is the result of a year-long study that included input from a wide range of education experts and advocates, as well as parents from urban, suburban and rural school districts.
To take effect, the recommendations must be adopted by the House and Senate, as well as the governor. Additional information about the recommendations is available at www.pahousegop.com.

Thompson Statement Following Passage of Bipartisan Bill to Repeal Medical Device Excise Tax
| |
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson (PA-05) issued the following statement upon House passage of H.R. 160, the Protect Medical Innovation Act, which repeals the Affordable Care Act’s 2.3% excise tax on medical devices:
“Among the many problems with the Affordable Care Act, the medical device excise tax continues to stifle competitiveness and innovation. In Pennsylvania alone, this has a direct effect upon the 75,000 people throughout the Commonwealth who are employed by the medical device industry. Repealing this harmful tax will protect American jobs, while ensuring that patients continue to have access to life-saving medical devices.”
On June 17, 2015, Congressman Thompson, a co-sponsor of the legislation, spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives urging his colleagues to support passage of the Protect Medical Innovation Act.
H.R. 160 passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 280-140.
