Northern Bedford knocks off Meyersdale in D5-1A football title game

WINDBER — A key injury, a snow squall, and turnovers proved too much for Meyersdale to overcome, falling to Northern Bedford County 21-0 in the District 5 Class 1A football championship game, Friday, Nov. 13, in Windber. For Meyersdale head coach Ryan Donaldson’s Red Raiders, who were held to under 100 yards of offense, this is one that will hurt for a while. “It stings right now, especially for the kids,” said Donaldson. "They have been working hard through the 12 weeks of the season. I am proud of them for getting here, but we fell short tonight. First half, it’s a 0-0 ball game. It was a dog fight, and in the second half, things didn’t go our way, and it got out of hand quickly. Losing quarterback Spencer Whitfield was key. One of our guys we relied on for both sides of the ball, but we still had a game to play with the guys that were in there, but they left it out on the field.” Bringing home a championship North Star tops Berlin for 1st District 5 football title since 2011 Title game preview Meyersdale bids for 2nd straight District 5-1A football championship An 18-play drive

Altoona Man Denied Bail After Allegedly Threatening Police And District Judge

A 43-year-old Altoona man is behind bars without bail after allegedly threatening to “wipe out” city police officers and a local district judge following a traffic stop. Vincent Anthony Burr was arraigned Wednesday before Magisterial District Judge Andrew L. Blattenberger. He faces a felony count of retaliation against a prosecutor or judicial official, three misdemeanor counts of making terroristic threats, and one misdemeanor count of unlawful communications with 911. According to the affidavit of probable cause, the incident began around 5 a.m. Wednesday when Burr called the Altoona Police Department. During the call, he allegedly threatened both officers and Magisterial District Judge Benjamin F. Jones with violence. Burr told dispatchers he was angry about being pulled over for a traffic violation earlier that night. However, investigating officers later determined that the traffic stop had actually been conducted by the Logan Township Police Department, not Altoona police. Following his arraignment, Burr was remanded to the Blair County Prison. Online court documents indicate that bail was denied due to Burr’s “erratic” behavior.”
