02/20/08 - Staff Members Hurt During Abraxas 'Riot'
Several staff members were injured during a riot in the cafeteria at Cornell Abraxas in Marienville Monday evening. State police say 10 students ranging in age from 15 to 18 were eating dinner when one of them attacked another juvenile. Others joined in the fight and attacked staff members who were trying to restrain them. Police say numerous punches and kicks were thrown and some chairs were thrown. One chair was used to hit a victim in the head several times. One victim was taken by ambulance to Clarion Hospital, where he was treated and released. Several other staff members were taken by private vehicles to the hospital, where they were treated for minor injuries. All 10 suspects will be charged with riot and aggravated assault.
02/19/08 - Hey, Where Did Chapel Ridge Go?
News 4 Meteorologist Mike Cejka wasn't kidding when he said Tuesday would be windy. Chapel Ridge was barely visible from our parking lot thanks to the blowing snow when Scott Douglas took this picture at about 10:30 this morning. Mike says we can expect more wind, and bitter wind chills, for the rest of the day and on Wednesday.
02/18/08 - AG Warns of 'Mystery Shopper' Scam
Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett says there's a scam going on in which people are duped into thinking they'll be "mystery shoppers."
Corbett says consumers are getting official-looking notices saying they've been selected for a program in which they'll get paid to shop at major retailers and evaluate the service. He says they get realistic-looking bad checks. They're told to deposit the checks into their bank accounts, then use a wire transfer to send the money to the scam artist —as part of a "training assignment."
Corbett says the typical scam instructs someone to wire $3,000 to $4,000, often to an address in Canada.

In the 25th Senatorial District, Senator Joe Scarnati is running for re-election on the Republican ticket. Democrat Donald Hilliard of Brookville is running as a Democrat.
02/05/08 - Reaction to Rendell's Budget Address
Senate President Pro Tem Joe Scarnati speaks with reporters (including RadioPA's Matt Paul, left) following Governor Ed Rendell's budget address Tuesday. Scarnati says "Good effective government does not include taxing, borrowing and spending. They have to be controlled, and they have to be used in the best way for our economy." As for Rendell's economic stimulus plan, Scarnati says "We don't necessarily agree with where the governor wants to go with his 400 dollar checks, we're willing to put this on the table and have a discussion on how best to move our economy on." Scarnati is in favor of reducing the Personal Income Tax.
