S
ister Joachim Anne Ferenchak (right), administrator of Garvey Manor Nursing Home, holds a state Department of Health Award for Excellence in Health Care Compliance received by the Hollidaysburg facility. Garvey Manor is one of only six nursing homes in the state to be honored for having no state citations during annual inspections during the last three years. Garvey Manor was the only nursing home west of Schuylkill County to receive the honor. With Sister Joachim are Secretary of Health Michael Wolf and Susan Williamson, director of nursing care facilities for the state Health Department.
ASSAULT: Investigation has been completed (Continued from Page A1)
Prison Warden Michael M. Johnston said this week the investigation of the incident was turned over to Hollidaysburg police. Supenia meanwhile was transferred from the Blair County Prison to the crisis center at UPMC Altoona and then went to Torrance for a mental health evaluation. Hollidaysburg Police Chief Jeffrey Ketner said this week that the police
investigation has been completed, and Supenia will be facing several charges from the incident but did not say what they might be. The incident occurred the evening of April 27, according to a police affidavit used to request a search warrant for a sample of Supenia’s blood for medical testing. The affidavit stated that the corrections officer went to a holding cell on
the prison’s first floor to collect the inmate’s empty dinner tray. The officer bent down to what is known as a “pie hole” in the door to retrieve the tray. The inmate is alleged to have spit in the officer’s face and then tossed the yellow liquid. Supenia entered guilty pleas last July to charges of terroristic threats and simple assault after an incident in a Tyrone conven-
ience store where he made threats that he was going to blow up a chemical plant. He then kicked an officer. He was placed on five years’ probation on those charges while nine other charges were dismissed, according to state court records. The record does not state why Supenia was incarcerated at the time of the incident. Mirror Staff Writer Phil Ray is at 946-7468.
