Cooling off on river

Rick Schiffer of Franklin secures a boat for transport late Tuesday afternoon at the Oil City marina as the boat’s driver, also Rick Schiffer of Franklin, looks on. The two men had been wakeboarding on the Allegheny River earlier in the afternoon in an effort to beat the heat. Hot, humid conditions with temperatures at 90 or above are expected to continue through Friday in the tri-county area. (By Kara O’Neil)
