Ridge cancels visit
BRADFORD, Pa. (AP) -- For the third time, a northwest Pennsylvania town will miss out on a planned visit by Gov. Tom Ridge, this time because he was named to head President Bush's anti-terrorism agency. Ridge canceled the 100-mile Keystone Ride from Bradford, McKean County, to Wellsboro, Tioga County, scheduled for next week, Friday.
Ridge spokesman Jason Kirsch said the ride, in its seventh year, was canceled to give officials more time to prepare for an Oct. 5 transition when Lt. Gov Mark Schweiker becomes governor. Ridge canceled two visits to Bradford in September last year to attend presidential election events with Bush.
