Payroll Tax Holiday is over, many people are getting smaller paychecks this week

If you received your first paycheck of the year already, you may have noticed it looks smaller.

The Payroll Tax Holiday has expired and that means everyone is paying more for social security.

For most people, it's not thousands of dollars, but the amount of money we're talking about here equals a tank of gas or a night out with the family each month.

Robert Miller at Liberty Tax Service in Cumberland County says the sun has set on the Payroll Tax Holiday, which lowered what you pay for in social security payroll tax.  But now it's back up.

That means some families could see close to $1,000 less in their paychecks this year.  "It's going to have an impact on everybody." Miller explained.  "It'll be relative, the amount of money you make and your personal situation but for a family making 45 thousand dollars a year you'll see about a 900 dollar decrease in their total income for the year."

For those of you who file early, the owner of Liberty Tax Service says don't expect your refund early.

In the past, they've been able to file on January 15th, but because of the fiscal cliff, they can't file until the 30th of this month.

Logan Hall is spending his Farm Show week as a Press Intern.  "Going around covering different events, taking pictures, writing press releases."

The Carlisle native has walked along these crowds for years.  "This building here is what made me a 4-H member.  Coming as a child in stroller with my parents, I've told my parents I always wanted to show."

And he did show, and then applied for a scholarship.  "I won the farm show scholarship in 2012."

To qualify for the scholarship, you have to have one year in college, fill out this 16 page process. But Hall says, it can be competitive.  "It's a rigourous process.  Its one of those scholarships that's an award as well. It's like an aww feeling, yanno."

For twenty years, the Farm Show has been giving away cash dollars to students who are active at the show.  Applicants have to be involved in the 4-H or Future Farmers of America Societies.  Hopefuls also have to have shown their animals at the show and do well in school.

Hall says the scholarship is important because he knows it will help in the future.  "We know that to go to college and benefit agriculture industry as a whole, we can win that scholarship and move onto the agriculture industry and give back.  With that you meet large number of invididuals that keep you building networking, communicated with working on goals you set."

Some schools, like Logan's matched the scholarship dollar for, and he plans to keep working towards his dream in agriculture education.

Red Cross issues steps to help kids avoid the flu

Health officials are reporting widespread influenza outbreaks in 47 of 50 states, up from just a week ago. One age group hit particularly hard is children and the American Red Cross has some steps parents can teach their kids to help them avoid getting sick.

WASHING HANDS: Kids have a way of picking up colds and other illnesses. Parents should teach children proper hand washing techniques and how to correctly cover coughs or sneezes. Washing hands properly is an important step to avoid getting the flu. Wash hands with soap and warm water. When using soap and water:

· Wash for at least 20 seconds, covering the entire hand including fingernails and under jewelry. Younger children can be taught to sing a short song like "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," or the "Happy Birthday" song a few times, which will ensure they wash for at least 20 seconds.
· Rinse and dry thoroughly with a disposable towel.
· Use the towel to turn off the faucet.

If using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer:
· Rub thoroughly over the entire hand, including nail areas and between the fingers.
· Continue to rub until the product dries.
THE SCRUB CLUB® The American Red Cross and NSF International have collaborated to help parents and teachers reinforce kids' hand-washing habits. The Scrub Club® is an interactive Web site that offers free materials to raise awareness about the benefits of hand washing to fight germs and prevent illness. The website features cartoon Webisodes featuring seven soaper-heroes and comes complete with educational materials, music and games. Visit ScrubClub.org for more information.

SNEEZING AND COUGHING: If a child has to cough or sneeze, parents should teach them to cover their mouth and nose with a tissue and wash their hands afterwards. If they don’t have a tissue, they should be taught to cough or sneeze into their elbow or upper arm, not their hands.

Kids should also be taught to avoid sharing such things as utensils, cups and bottles, and to keep their hands away from their eyes, nose and mouth.

SAFETY STEPS: The most important thing parents can do is get children six months of age or older a flu vaccine as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control. Children’s caregivers should also get vaccinated. Other steps parents can take include:
Keep surfaces like bedside tables, surfaces in the bathroom, kitchen counters and toys for children clean by wiping them down with a household disinfectant.
If someone in the household is sick, try to keep the sick person in a separate room from others in the household, if possible.


IF THE CHILD BECOMES ILL: If a child gets sick, parents should consult their doctor. They should also make sure their child gets plenty of rest and fluids. If the child is breathing fast or having trouble breathing, has bluish or gray skin color, refuses to drink, is vomiting, is irritable or has trouble staying awake, parents should get the child medical help right away. The child should stay home from school or day care until at least 24 hours after their fever is gone.

MORE FLU FACTS: Information on what to do if someone has the flu is available as part of the free Red Cross First Aid mobile app available for iPhone and Android devices. You can find more information about how to help keep you and your loved ones protected by visiting redcross.org/FluTips.

SCUPA ratifies tentative agreement with PASSHE, negotiations continue with APSCUF

Information provided by PASSHE.

Members of the State College and University Professional Association (SCUPA) have ratified a new contract with the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE).

SCUPA represents approximately 600 admissions, financial aid, residence life and other student support services officers on the 14 PASSHE campuses.

The tentative agreement will now go to the PASSHE Board of Governors for its approval.

Meanwhile, negotiations between PASSHE and the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF), the union that represents State System university faculty, resumed today, with the two sides continuing to make progress toward a settlement.

Dent also responded to several inaccurate statements recently made by APSCUF leadership in relations to the continuing negotiations.

PASSHE spends nearly $75 million a year on healthcare for its faculty. If nothing is done to change PASSHE’s current healthcare plan, costs are projected to increase by about $7.5 million next year.

PASSHE pays more than $15,000 annually for family coverage under the healthcare plan it administers for active employees, compared to the $10,140 the state pays for coverage under the Commonwealth’s plan. PASSHE has proposed changes to the plan that would more closely align it with the state-run plan, which provides healthcare coverage for 80,000 state employees, including the Governor and his cabinet.

A related – and still unresolved issue – is the rapidly escalating cost of providing healthcare benefits for eligible retirees. PASSHE presented more detailed information on the transition to a defined contribution plan in an effort to address the systemwide $1.4 billion outstanding financial obligation, which threatens the system’s sustainability. The proposal would not impact any current retirees or current employees; it would be applied only to persons hired by the State System after July 1, 2013.

The issue is similar to the Commonwealth’s pension liability problem. As the governor’s budget secretary said recently: “Absent meaningful structural pension reform, the state’s General Fund budget is on a very predictable path that will force a choice between either fully funding pension obligations or making cuts to the core functions of government.”

The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education is the largest provider of higher education in the Commonwealth, with about 115,000 students. The 14 PASSHE universities offer degree and certificate programs in more than 120 areas of study. About 500,000 PASSHE alumni live and work in Pennsylvania.

The state-owned universities are Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock and West Chester Universities of Pennsylvania. PASSHE also operates branch campuses in Clearfield, Freeport, Oil City and Punxsutawney and several regional centers, including the Dixon University Center in Harrisburg.

The scoop on the poop; what the Farm Show does with all of it

What does the Farm Show do with all that poop? None of us will admit it, but we all wonder.  

With all of the animals at the Farm Show, there will be over 400,000 pounds of waste over the week.

What goes in, must go out, and with 6,000 animals inside, that's alot.

When visiting the Farm Show, all it takes is just one step to walk right into number 2. 

"It's kinda funny to watch people walk around the landmines deposited."

So where does all the poop go?  "You sweep it up, put it in the wheel barrel and when it gets full you empty and dispose of it."

And from the wheel barrel, the matter is thrown on huge piles, and each day it's taken away. "We have a hauler that comes in and loads a tractor trailer of each day, and hauls it away."

All 400,000 tons are sent to mushroom growers here in PA.  "I like to call it our largest recycling product program at the farm show.  We recylcle a lot of things but this actually goes back into the agriculture."

UPDATE: State chooses British firm to run the PA Lottery, Democrats appalled by decision

UPDATE:

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - A top official in Gov. Tom Corbett's administration is telling employees that a contract has been awarded to the British lottery operator to manage the $3.5 billion Pennsylvania Lottery.

The announcement by Secretary of Revenue Daniel Meuser to lottery employees Friday makes Pennsylvania the third state to hire a private lottery manager. Meuser says the contract is formally awarded, but Camelot cannot begin until the contract is executed. He says that's expected to happen next week.

Challenges await the Republican governor's agreement with Camelot Global Services.

The union representing state lottery employees is suing to block an agreement with Camelot and has filed a grievance and an unfair labor practice charge.

Messages left for spokespeople for Corbett and Meuser weren't immediately returned.

After this announcement was made, State Senator Mike Brubaker, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, issued the following statement Friday emphasizing the panel's plans to move forward with the scheduled public hearing regarding the potential privatization of the management of the Pennsylvania Lottery despite recent actions by the Corbett Administration.

"Today, the Corbett Administration announced a 'notice of award' as it relates to a private management agreement (PMA) for the Pennsylvania Lottery, indicating that an agreement has been reached with British-based Camelot and an additional deadline extension will not be necessary."

"However, I have stood by my word from day one as the chair of this committee stating that the significance of this issue warrants a public forum to provide members of this legislative body and all Pennsylvanians an open dialogue with the stakeholders. As a result, this panel will move foward with the hearing scheduled for January 14th to ensure our questions are answered and the issue is properly vetted."


The Senate Democrats also released the following statement:

Senate Democrats expressed dismay and disgust at the actions of the Corbett Administration in announcing the notice of award as it relates to the private management agreement, (PMA), for the Pennsylvania Lottery.

“This is extremely disappointing and disturbing,” said Senator Jay Costa (D-Allegheny). “The action taken by the Corbett Administration was done without public input. Today’s decision has the potential to jeopardize senior programs and put taxpayers on the hook.”

“This has been a bizarre process that violates the public trust,” Costa continued. “There were no hearings, little opportunity to understand the proposed PMA and no scrutiny. The process was violated and the citizens of Pennsylvania were abused by this arbitrary action.”

Senator John Blake (D- Lackawanna), Democratic Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee pointed out the proposal needs legislative authorization and it demands legislative scrutiny.

“The process was culminated when the General Assembly was not in session and there was little public examination of the proposal,” Blake said. “This process wasn't transparent -- it was opaque. No one could see the end result except a small group of the governor's inner circle.”

Expressing extreme disappointment on behalf of his constituents, Senator Rob Teplitz (D-Dauphin) said the use of a secretive process would lead to the privatization of a significant state asset and is unprecedented. “This is not a proper way to alter generations of public policy and violated the public trust.”

“On a personal level, many of the affected employees are my constituents and have been treated with complete disregard,” Teplitz said. “The arrogance of this administration in the way this was handled is deplorable.”

“I am extremely disappointed in this administration's decision to jam this deal through at the last minute prior to a key Senate Finance Committee hearing,” said Senator Matt Smith (D-Allegheny). “This shows a disturbing lack of transparency by the Corbett administration and hinders a meaningful dialogue regarding this multi-billion dollar deal. The Camelot plan certainly deserves a proper examination by the General Assembly and Pennsylvania taxpayers are entitled to further information.”

Senator John Wozniak (D-Cambria) echoed the sentiments of his colleagues related to the PMA. “There are many questions related to how this privatization effort impacts seniors and property tax relief related to gaming. The concerns of taxpayers should have been taken into consideration and questions answered before the governor took this action.”

UPDATE(2): Bus collides with truck, students escape with minor injuries

UPDATE:

Thirty three students were on the bus that collided with a truck Friday afternoon. The bus collided with the truck, struck an embankment and flipped over.

The miracle is that no one on the bus was seriously injured, but tonight we have learned that the driver of the vehicle is in serious condition.

Kyle Brown, a Junior at Bermudian Springs High School was on the bus when it flipped over. "I was just riding home sitting there talking to my friend, had some music going on my phone and all of the sudden just felt this smash and the bus started flipping."

Brown along with thirty two other high school and middle school students from Bermudian Springs were heading home from school on route 94 when a pickup truck lost control and hit the bus head forcing it into an embankment.

Brown said he didn't know what had happened. "Just grabbed my seat when the bus started flipping and just held onto it until the bus started to stop moving. People on the bus were screaming as they flew out of their seats before the bus finally came to a stop. I just didn't know what to think. I didn't have time to think I was just wondering what the heck was on."

Brown was sitting in the back of the bus and made his way out through the emergency window. Once outside he checked to make sure his friends were okay.

"My friend Chase had a cut on his head right on the top of his head. He walked out and I looked over at him and he was bleeding down his face and I asked if he was okay and by that time they had the personnel on him helping him out."

Kyle only had a minor cut to his lip but 7 students had to be transported to area hospitals from the scene.  Three more were taken after they were evaluated at the school.  The rest of the students were taken back to the high school to be reunited with their parents.

Dr. Shane Hotchkiss, the Superintendent at Bermudian Springs School District said parents were notified about the crash. "We did make contact with all parents and we asked them to meet us back here at the high school."

Three students were later taken to the hospital after further inspection at the school. But Hotchkiss says it's a miracle that no one on the bus was seriously injured. "Anytime a bus overturns you're obviously concerned and to just have minor injuries. I do consider us very fortunate and the students very fortunate for what's taken place because it certainly could have been much worse."

The Superintendent says the district handled the situation well because of careful planning prior to the accident. "For us it was really important that we had accurate rosters and that we had people making contact with parents. And all of that was well done on site by our district personnel our bus drivers had every piece of information that they needed and I felt very good about how we were able to communicate with parents."

Most students were released from the hospital within an hour of arriving and now the school is looking forward to making sure the students have the counseling they need come Monday. "We are going to make crisis teams available on Monday for any students that were actually involved in the accident." Counseling will also be given to students who were on a separate bus who saw the whole accident happen.

Kyle said he's not really looking forward to riding a bus again. "I really don't want to ride on the bus again. rather not."

And while Kyle is happy for his safety he hopes everyone else involved will be okay. "I just hope the guy that was in the pickup is okay."

Police say that the driver of the truck went into cardiac arrest when he arrived at the hospital but they were able to get his heart beating again.

Police say the man faces numerous violations including driving too fast.


____________________________________________________________________

Reading Township Police tell CBS 21 that the driver of the truck that struck the school bus suffered a cardiac emergency at the hospital.

He is currently in serious condition at York Hospital.

Police added that the driver could face traffic violation charges for driving too fast for conditions and also for having illegal tires on his vehicle.

Gittlen golf tournament fined again; to hand over $3.3 million to cancer research

HARRISBURG -- One of the top charity golf tournaments in the nation has been fined again by the State of Pennsylvania and has agreed to turn over more than $3 million for cancer research to Penn State.

The State has fined the Jake Gittlen Memorial Golf Tournament $20,000 for violating state law and a previous settlement in 2006 with the Bureau of Charitable Organizations.

As part of this new consent agreement just released by the state, uncovered by CBS 21 News Sports Director Jason Bristol, the tournament will contribute $3.3 million to Penn State.

The Gittlen tournament repeatedly claimed it donated more than $800,000 per year to cancer research at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, yet the organization did not contribute any money it raised from 2007-2011 until December 2011.

A review of the organization's 2010 tax return -- the last one CBS 21 News could find -- shows the Jake Gittlen Memorial Golf Tournament had assets of more than $9.2 million.

Warren Gittlen, the president of the tournament, did not return a phone call seeking comment. The tournament is named after his late father, Jake.

The tournament was previously fined $5000 in 2006, as well; for not accurately stating the tournament's contributions to a cancer institute at Penn State.

As a result, the organization agreed to donate $4 million to cancer research.

According to the new settlement agreement, Gittlen claims he believed the $4 million that was donated as part of the previous consent agreement could be counted as money paid over in its subsequent representations.

On its website, the Gittlen tournament claims it has donated more than $14 million to cancer research it started in 1970.
