‘Friends’ star Matthew Perry dead at 54, found in hot tub at L.A. home, sources say Matthew Perry arrives at the premiere of “The Invention of Lying” in Los Angeles on Sept. 21, 2009. (Matt Sayles / Associated Press) BY RICHARD WINTON, MATT BRENNAN “Friends” star Matthew Perry was found dead Saturday in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home, law enforcement sources said. He was 54. Authorities responded about 4 p.m. to his home, where he was discovered unresponsive. The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing, did not cite a cause of death. There was no sign of foul play, the sources added. A representative for Perry did not immediately respond to The Times’ request for comment. The Los Angeles Police Department’s robbery-homicide detectives are investigating the death. The cause of death will be determined at a later date by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office. Perry, the son of actor John Bennett Perry and Suzanne Marie Langford, onetime press secretary of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, was born in 1969 and grew up between Montreal and Los Angeles after his parents separated when Perry was 1. He got his start as a child actor, landing guest spots on “Charles in Charge” and “Beverly Hills 90210” and playing opposite River Phoenix in the film “A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon” in the 1980s and early 1990s. But his big break came when he was cast in “Friends” — originally titled “Friends Like Us” — a sitcom about six single New Yorkers navigating adulthood that premiered on NBC in 1994. The series soon became a juggernaut, the anchor of the network’s vaunted Thursday-night “Must-See TV” lineup, and turned Perry, then 25, and his castmates Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer into mega-stars almost overnight. At its high-water mark — for a 1996 Super Bowl episode and the 2004 series finale, the series notched more than 50 million live viewers; by its end, cast members were earning more than $1 million an episode. As Chandler Bing, the handsome, wisecracking roommate of LeBlanc’s Joey Tribbiani and, later, love interest of Cox’s fastidious Monica Geller, Perry distinguished himself in a crackling ensemble cast. With his dry delivery he created a catchphrase with a mere turn of inflection, based on banter he’d shared with childhood friends: Could he be any more Chandler? Soon, he was attached to major stars like Julia Roberts and appearing as a leading man opposite Salma Hayek in the 1997 rom-com “Fools Rush In.” There was a dark side to the life of one of television’s most beloved funnymen, however. In his 2022 memoir “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” Perry recounted his lifelong struggle with addiction to alcohol and opioids, which led to multiple stints in rehab and a number of serious health issues, including a five-month hospitalization in 2018 following a colon rupture that left him, he wrote, with a 2% chance to live through the night. And it was fueled, he acknowledged during a “Friends” reunion special in 2021, by the pressure to land the joke in front of a live studio audience night after night. “Nobody wanted to be famous more than me,” Perry told The Times in April, discussing “Big Terrible Thing” at the Festival of Books. “I was convinced it was the answer. I was 25, it was the second year of ‘Friends,’ and eight months into it, I realized the American dream is not making me happy, not filling the holes in my life. I couldn’t get enough attention. … Fame does not do what you think it’s going to do. It was all a trick.” Though Perry estimated he had relapsed “60 or 70 times” since first getting sober in 2001, he maintained a steady presence on American television, playing key parts in backstage dramedy “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” and therapy sitcom “Go On,” and making a steady stream of guest appearances on acclaimed shows such as “The West Wing” and “The Good Wife.” Since his near-death experience in 2018, Perry had found solace in friendships, writing and regular games of pickleball. Indeed, for all his success as an actor and, more recently, a bestselling memoirist, Perry told The Times in April that his work was not the center of what he hoped would be his legacy. Pressed to name how he’d like to be remembered, he said: “As a guy who lived life, loved well, lived well and helped people. That running into me was a good thing, and not something bad.”

In Force? To close to the one they built by WM & Get Go in Fox Twp. It would be 10 miles from each other. That building in Kersey used to be empty the majority of the time. Getting bloodwork done was from 7-4 or 5. I don’t know what all they do in there now, I haven’t had to drive to Kersey in years.

Does anyone know the phone # for the DuBois office that isn’t the 800#? Thank you in advance. 😌

As for my opinion, kids under the age of 18 should be required to wear helmets & take the MSC.

I think I just fainted!! Did you say that the much loved Republicans are crooks? As much as the Dems? Then why don’t we get rid of the party system altogether & just vote for individuals?? Would that work?

A new motorcycle helmet law went into effect in Delaware on September 1, 2023, aimed at protecting new motorcyclists. Senate Bill 86, which was signed into law by Governor John Carney on June 30th, requires motorcyclists to wear a helmet for the first two years after getting their motorcycle license endorsement, regardless of age. Previously, every adult operating or riding as a passenger on a motorcycle is required to have a helmet in their possession and wear eye protection while operating or riding a motorcycle. And every person up to 19 years of age must wear a helmet and eye protection. State Representative Daniel Short was House sponsor of Senate Bill 86. Short raced motorcycles competitively. "We were geared up," said Short, who raced for four years. "Dressed up in leather, big boots with steel toes, and a nice helmet. The track was probably a lot more civil than what is going on out on the highway today, and guess what, going Route 13 and Route 1 is not a competitive sport." According to the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles, nineteen states and the District of Columbia currently require all motorcyclists to wear a helmet. In Delaware last year 22 motorcyclists were killed in crashes. So far this year that number stands at twelve

Counties With Most Tornadoes In Pennsylvania It’s been a busy year for tornadoes in the U.S. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, as many as 1,155 twisters have touched down across the country since the start of the year, above the average for this time of year. A single day can drive up tornado counts. March 31, 2023, accounted for 163 tornadoes across the Midwest and South. Tornado activity usually peaks in the spring and early summer, and the pace of tornadoes usually slows around late summer. A smaller-scale second tornado season emerges in the fall, mostly in the Gulf Coast states. SIGN UP NOW Stacker used data from NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information to find the counties in Pennsylvania that have experienced the most tornadoes since 2000. While data is available going back to 1950, tornado tracking by the National Weather Service became more robust and accurate in the 1990s. Since counties can vary in size, they are ranked by the number of tornadoes per 100 square miles. Counties that experienced less than five tornadoes are not included. The counties that encounter the most tornadoes aren’t all in the infamous Tornado Alley. When adjusted for county area, the top 10 counties that experienced the most tornadoes since 2000 are from nine different states, all in the Southeast with the exception of Cleveland County, Oklahoma. SIGN UP NOW Research has shown that Tornado Alley is shifting due to warming temperatures fueled by climate change. In the future, the Southeast could become the region that receives the bulk of the country’s tornadoes. It’s a concerning trend as the South is more populated than the Great Plains and has a higher concentration of mobile homes than other parts of the country, making the storms potentially deadlier and costlier. As of August 2023, 75 people have died from tornadoes this year, and over 60% of those deaths occurred in mobile homes. The best way to stay protected during tornadoes is to have multiple ways of receiving storm updates including social media, radio, television, and sirens, and to immediately seek shelter in a basement or interior room without windows when a tornado watch escalates to a warning.

I have my weeks mixed up! Next Wednesday is the trip to Pittsburgh.

Wouldn’t this ruin your day! This tree came down across route 120 west near keating under the guide rail and had enough momentum to drive right through a rail car! Now that’s impressive! (Not my photos or wording, copied from another site, but just had to show godubois. I’m surprised it didn’t derail the train!!)

Faith has to go back to Pittsburgh tomorrow for an appointment with the urology dept. Her right kidney has swollen up & the urethra is blocked. This is the kidney she had the stones removed from. She has to be cathed in order for her to pee every 3 hrs. Other then that, she is a very happy kid…singing, blowing her bubbles, looking at her books & loving her new house!! She could use a 🙏🏻 or two for tomorrow so they can hopefully figure out what is going on with her kidney. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

NEWS PennDOT Issues Update on I-80 Repair Work at Exit 97 August 4, 2023 Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) updated motorists on a change in traffic pattern on Interstate 80 westbound in Sandy Township, Clearfield County. The contractor will shift traffic into the right (travel) lane at exit 97/Brockway-DuBois on Monday, August 7, as part of a project to improve the ride quality and extend the life of the roadway surface. Traffic impacts through the work zone during the first phase of this repair work have been significant during peak travel times. PennDOT urges drivers to build extra time into their schedules where possible, exercise caution in this and all work zones, obey posted speed limits, and always buckle up. It does not expect this shift to impact traffic exiting I-80 via the off-ramp. PennDOT anticipates the contractor completing these repairs in another two weeks. All work is weather and schedule dependent. Francis J. Palo, Inc., of Clarion, PA, is the contractor on this project

No offers on Peanut, except to babysit anytime, if needed. Many people finally got to meet her in person for the first time this past weekend. Faith Marie was on the screened in front porch with us most of Friday. Saturday & Sunday was really slow business days, but we still did good. Brandi & Deryk did have several people ask if they wanted to sell Milo!! Sorry, but no, he will be their daughters service dog when he is around 3. He is just a puppy at 1 1/2 yrs old & wants to be friends with everyone & you to throw his toy for him to chase & repeat!! Midgy made new friends with everyone. She had to bark every time someone stopped & wouldn’t leave the person alone till they bent down & pet her. She’s a happy wiener most often .

Gas is $3.45 & $3.38 in Penfield, at least it was on Monday. Heard gas is $3.42 in Byrndale at Friday’s.

Yes!!

Faith Marie, Midgy & Brandi spent most of the day at my house. When she first got to Amma’s house, Mama put her beside me on the couch & Chi Chi layer beside her. I took her hand & showed her how to give Chi a belly rub, Chi was eating it right up & Faith was smiling. I let go of her hand to see what she would do, she still petted her, but then she went for Chi’s head, smacked her in the snoot 2 times, grabbed her nose & pulled, then went and pulled on her left front leg. Chi just laid there & let her do whatever she wanted. I was surprised!! Chi loves her niece very much, she was the only dog the could lay on Brandi’s tummy when she was pregnant. Maybe that’s why they get along so well?!?

My grandson loves the Bark Park!! ❤️

With all the windows that people give away, you could build one from them. Look up greenhouses on Pinterest.

AG Henry Shuts Down Scammers Targeting Pa. Businesses While Posing as Department of State Attorney General Michelle Henry announced that a settlement was reached with a Florida-based business that had been targeting new businesses in Pennsylvania and posing as the PA Department of State to sell certificates of good standing. The settlement, in the form of a Consent Petition, was entered with FL Certificate Services, LLC, resolving an OAG lawsuit claiming that it was operating a scam in Pennsylvania under the name “PA Certificate Service.” The Office of Attorney General filed suit in 2021, regarding PA Certificate Service mailers to newly-registered businesses soliciting certificates. “Many small businesses were tricked into believing they were buying certificates from the Department of State when, in reality, they were paying inflated prices to scammers,” Attorney General Henry said. “My office will not allow Pennsylvania’s state agencies to be imitated, nor will we tolerate scams targeting business owners and residents. Pennsylvania is no place for deceptive business practices.” Under the terms of the Consent Petition, FL Certificate Services, LLC agreed to stop doing business in Pennsylvania and will pay restitution to any Pennsylvania entity and individual who purchased an overpriced certificate. According to the lawsuit filed by the Attorney General’s Office on July 13, 2021, PA Certificate Service conducted its scam by sending letters to Pennsylvanians who recently incorporated a new business with the PA Department of State. The letter, which allegedly imitated the appearance of a letter issued by the Commonwealth, told the recipient that they “have one step left” to obtain a “Pennsylvania Certificate of Good Standing” for $87.25. The Pennsylvania Department of State offers good standing certificates for only $40.00, and they are completely optional. Anyone who received a letter from “PA Certificate Service” and paid $87.25 should submit a complaint to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General within the next ninety (90) days by visiting https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/submit-a-complaint/consumer-complaint/. You may also contact the office via phone at 1-800-441-2555 or by email at scams@attorneygeneral.gov. Pennsylvanians should be advised that even though PA Certificate Service is going out of business in Pennsylvania, “certificate scams” or similar government imposter scams are popular schemes that continue to operate in the Commonwealth and nationwide. If you recently created a business entity in Pennsylvania and received a letter requesting payment for a “Certificate of Good Standing,” a “Labor Law Poster” or anything similar, be sure to read carefully for any disclosures that the sender is not a government agency. Scammers will also often mask their real address behind a box at a UPS store or similar place. If you have any concerns, do not hesitate to report possible scams to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General. The Consent Petition was filed in the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas by Deputy Attorney General Mark Wolfe and will become effective upon approval by the Court
