Cordero Scholarship Fund

established at the Elk County

former Cavalier player and later
returned as volunteer assistant

to be able to give back to a program
that he
truly loved. Each year the Cavalier
Coaches will select an 8th grade
player who best reflects the spirit
of CC to receive the award. Along
with a monetary award, which will be
applied to the student's tuition at
ECCHS they will receive a short
biography on CC. The award will be
give in conjunction with the 8th
grade graduation ceremony. What a
fitting way to keep CC's memory
alive. I am asking that we all help
in funding this program as a way for
us to "pay-it-back" as an honor to
our friend and classmate.

Trees, and portions of the Yew,

of Route 255 in the city of Saint
Marys is continuing. The project
stretches from the Tractor Supply

Street in Saint Marys. Work this
year will concentrate on the section
between Wendy’s and Satterlee &
Sons.
Once the project completes in late
summer 2014, travel along this
section of Route 255 will be
smoother and more efficient. PennDOT

include:
The contractor will be working
24 hours per day starting on
Monday night at 9:00 p.m. and
finishing Friday at 4:00 p.m.

6:00 AM, Route 255 will be
restricted to one lane near the
Random Road intersection for the
installation of a sanitary sewer
line. Flaggers will be in place
to direct traffic.
The current
traffic pattern, starting at the
intersection at Tractor Supply
and extending to the Iron Run
Road intersection, restricts
traffic to one lane northbound
and one lane southbound with a
center turning lane. This
traffic pattern will remain in
effect until further notice.The center turn lane is for
turning movements only.
The contractor
will be installing new storm
drainage within the work area.
Access to businesses within the
work zone will be maintained
during normal business hours.
All work is weather and schedule
dependent. Motorists are advised to
watch for slow-moving and stopped
vehicles through the entire work
zone. Motorists are advised to be
cautious when traveling through the
work zone and should obey the posted
speed limit.
Overall work includes pavement
repair, drainage improvements,
addition of a right-turn lane for
Route 255 northbound traffic at Vine
Street, re-alignment of the Arch
Street intersection, a right turn
lane on Route 120 east for traffic
heading south on Route 255, and
other construction items. Dave
Gutelius Excavating Inc. of
