West Branch School District reviews budget
Friday, February 03, 2012
By Tyler Kolesar Staff Writer
ALLPORT - The West Branch School District had a brief budget meeting last night to review rough numbers on the 2012-13 budget. Business manager Jason McMillen presented numbers to Board President Joe Kovalcin and Superintendent Michael Panek. In this draft, McMillen had the budget at $16,721,995, which is a $983,858 or 6.25 percent increase from last year's budget. However, McMillen said this number is without any cuts to areas, and said worst case scenario for the budget would be a bit less than $900,000 more than last year.
Panek said they still have to wait for the state budget to come out in order to know what the district will receive from them. Panek also said they're working on multiple achievable scenarios to cut down on costs, as future budget meetings will be used to work on "attainable savings". more...

By Terry Whetstone Staff Writer
IRVONA - Last week Irvona Borough Mayor John "PJ" Patterson got word that the borough has been awarded a flood control grant in the amount of $860,889. Last night council discussed the project at its meeting.
Patterson said the grant would cover 100 percent of the cost of the project, which includes removing deteriorated metal pipes and replacing them with concrete pipes that are part of the levee system. The corrugated metal pipes were installed in the early 1960s when the levee was built; they will be replaced extending the life of the levee system by another 50 years. more...

Mo Valley snaps 38-game losing streak
Friday, February 03, 2012
By Jon Christoff Sports Writer
AMESVILLE - It's a bit of an understatement to say things haven't gone your way when you've lost 38-straight games like the Moshannon Valley boys basketball had entering Thursday's contest against Harmony.
Things weren't looking good for the Black Knights, who last won on Feb. 21, 2010 against West Branch, against the Owls either, as they trailed 42-40 with time winding down in regulation and leading scorer Joel Martin mired in game-long slump.
Martin didn't take any of the three shots in the final flurry, which resulted in the ball ending up in David Bubb's hands.
Bubb's short jumper dropped just before the final buzzer, and the Knights parlayed the more...

By Jaclyn Yingling Sports Editor
PHILIPSBURG - After wrestling Bellefonte in the District 6 Team Duals Tournament Wednesday, Philipsburg-Osceola took to the mat Thursday night to welcome Curwensville to town.
In the past week, the Mounties have wrestled in a two-day tournament and will have at least three dual meets under their belts by Saturday evening.
But P-O looked no worse for the wear, as it shook off two opening losses to the Tide en route to a 49-23 victory.
"It seems like we have two seasons in already," said Mounties assistant coach Tracy Minarchick. "We have been wrestling a long time. But it's been a fun season for these boys. more...
