Clarion University Of Pennsylvania’s
Hun Judo Dojo Celebrates Its 51st Year
On APRIL 28, 2015 the
Hun Judo Dojo at CUP held
a celebration marking Hun
Judo’s fifty-one years.
Alumni of the dojo were invited to dress in and particie along with all current
pate
members and their families
in the area were invited to
attend.
Dr. Andor Paposi-Jobb
was recognized and presented a plaque by the University President, Karen
Whitney for his accomplishments and the recognition
the dojo has given the University over the years.
Dr. Jobb stated: “I am
grateful for the fact that over
the past half century a variety of Clarion State Teachers College/Clarion University of Pennsylvania departments have provided a
venue for the operation of
‘our’ record-holding; 2nd
longest operating judo dojo
in the USA, HUN-JudoDojo.”
Over the past fifty years
Dr. Jobb Sensei has promoted over a dozen black
belts, some of whom have
attained advanced blackbelt
status and have dojos of
their own.

1963 through the late
1970’s. From the early 70s
through the mid-70’s, judo
was a varsity sport offered
through the College’s Athletic Department. In the
mid-seventies, budget cutbacks within the State’s
educational system caused
varsity judo to lose its funding along with a number of
sports. HUN-Judo, then,
continued on with student
club status, and eventually
came under the umbrella of

DOUBLE
DRIVEL
With Dick and Mike
Dick’s Thoughts
A-C Valley and Union have agreed to co-op in Junior High
football. Both schools have struggled with numbers so this
will give the athletes a chance to compete. Who knows what
the future will hold for these 2 programs.
As predicted the Pens went out in 5 games. Crosby and
Malkin both should appear on milk cartons as they once again
disappeared. When the Pens won the Stanley Cup back in
2009 the talk was not when will they win the next cup but
how many cups will they win. As both these players inch
toward being 30 the question might be will they ever win
another cup. Interesting that there was speculation that
Crosby and Malkin might have been playing hurt against the
Rangers and then when eliminated word came out that they
were both going to play for their countries in this week’s
World Championships.
The Baltimore Orioles played their game against the Rays
the other day in front of 0 fans. This is the lowest attendance
for a game since the Oakland A’s drew 653 fans for a game in
79.
The Pirates are 12-10 as of this writing. When the bats start
to wake up the Bucs should be fine. To be over 500 with
more than half of their lineup batting around the Mendoza
Line is a tribute to their starting pitching.
The Steelers taking Bud Dupree in the first round of the
NFL draft looks like a good pick. But then again Jarvis Jones
looked like a good pick. You never know. The Steelers offense is good enough to win lots of games but that defense
needs a lot of help. Kiesel is gone for now, Harrison had to
come out of retirement to bail them out last year. Woirlds,
Polomalu, and Taylor are now retired. Lots of holes will need
to be filled.
Thought of the week: Why is the man who invests all of
your money called a “Broker”?
Hunting For The
Perfect Outdoors App?
Trying to locate a new hunting spot?
Want to find out which way the wind is blowing at your
tree stand, quickly check what’s in season, or see instantly
when the sun will set on your day afield?
There’s an app for that.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission has launched its
new GoHuntPA Toolkit, a features-loaded, free app available through the GoHuntPA.org website.
The app is designed to be handy for hunters, whether
they’re viewing it at home in preparation for a hunt, or
putting it to the test in the field.
The GoHuntPA Toolkit is the simplest way yet to find
huntable tracts of state game lands, learn more about the
habitat and wildlife there, and even view maps showing
where the parking lots are located.
Using augmented reality, the app allows users simply
to hold their mobile devices in front of them to see the
locations of nearby game lands. And by clicking on the
flags that pop up to mark these sites, users can learn more
about the tracts. Selecting the “route” option will activate
your device’s GPS function and give you turn-by-turn directions to the parking lot of your choice.
Maps available through the app provide a more-detailed
look at terrain and access points at game lands statewide.
The app also allows users to check weather and daylight
conditions, view hunting regulations, seasons and bag limits, and post pictures through Instagram of their days
afield.
There’s also a tracking feature that allows members of
the same hunting party see the locations of others, and
mark the sites where they parked or set up camp, to make
sure they make it back.
Meanwhile, an SOS safety feature allows users to notify
friends and family of their exact GPS coordinates in the
event of an emergency.
To download the GoHuntPA Toolkit, visit
GoHuntPA.org, or simply visit your device’s app store and
search for the toolkit by name. The app might not be
compatible with older devices or software.
Game Commission Executive Director R. Matthew
Hough said the GoHuntPA Toolkit aims to make hunting
in Pennsylvania even more enjoyable, and more importantly, safer. And he urged hunters to download the free
app before their next trip afield.
“The GoHuntPA Toolkit places useful and easy-to-access information directly into the palms of hunters’ hands,
and makes it available to them wherever they go,” Hough
said. “Aside from your license and other essential gear,
about the only thing else you’ll need to bring along is a pair
of fingerless gloves.”

Dorothy Day:
Grandmother and Potential Saint
Jerry Costello for The Christophers
By Chris Henderson
I wonder how many of you out there remember the old
“Woody Woodpecker” cartoons. Created by cartoonist
Walter Lantz, Woody was famous for his “Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha”
laugh. I don’t really know what kind of woodpecker Woody
was meant to represent, but I got to thinking that a column
on these beautiful, if bizarre, birds might be a nice idea.
I’ve always been fascinated by woodpeckers. We always
keep a suet block outside to attract them. Not long ago, a
pileated woodpecker showed up at our feeder. These are,
perhaps, the strangest and neatest of all woodpeckers. Years
ago, they were considered very rare in Pennsylvania. I once
read an article that said that they were once hunted for food.
Supposedly, they were easy to call in. This would explain
their rarity, but, personally, despite my adventurous palate, I
have never given any thought to eating woodpeckers. Anyway, these largest of woodpeckers have enjoyed a comeback
in recent years. At one time, they were creatures exclusively
of the deep woods, but now they are showing up more and
more often closer to civilization. They are extremely easy to
identify. First of all, they are big, almost reaching the size of a
wood duck. They have a high crest, bright red in color. The
rest is black, with some white on the head and breast. Their
primary food is grubs, sometimes bored from the center of
very large trees. They have a long, barb-tipped tongue which
helps them to grab their prey. I suspect that it is this protein
instinct that draws them to suet. They are also known as
logcock. This is sometimes confused with woodcock, a game
bird, which could explain their sometimes being shot.
The next largest woodpecker in these parts is the northern
flicker. Once extremely common, it seems that they are seen
less often nowadays. The short description of them would be
larger than a robin, basically golden in color, with accents of
red. Their favorite food is ants, and they will perch on an
anthill and use their long beak to reach in and eat the critters
by the dozen. It would appear that the stings and bites have
no effect on them.
Once we’re done with these two, the others become a bit
harder to identify, as they are very similar in appearance. For
me at least, the hairy woodpecker and the downy woodpecker are almost impossible to distinguish, although the
more accomplished birder would probably not have this
problem. Like their larger cousins, they are very fond of suet,
and also peanut butter placed in holes drilled in a two-byfour. Even though I have trouble telling them apart, I still love
to look at them.
These next two, also lovers of suet and peanut butter, are
easier to identify. The yellow-bellied sapsucker’s name says it
all. If you see a woodpecker with a yellow belly, that is a bit
smaller than a robin, it’s a yellow-bellied sapsucker. The other,
the red-headed woodpecker is also smaller than a robin, but
its entire head, neck and upper breast are all a rich, deep red.
The redheads are most often seen from about April 15th to
October 1st, but they are also occasionally seen in winter.
I’ve always been fascinated by woodpeckers. I can’t help
but be puzzled as to how they avoid permanent brain damage with that fierce pecking. They are great fun to watch.
Just put out some suet or peanut butter and find out.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Dorothy Day a saint? Many people, aware of her background, still find it hard to believe—despite a voice vote endorsement of her cause by the entire body of American bishops. How about Dorothy Day as a grandmother? That’s
harder still for many others to accept, the image of Day as
social activist extraordinaire firmly planted in their minds.
But take it from one who knows, a granddaughter herself.
Dorothy Day was not only a grandmother—the grandmother
of nine, by the way—but her granddaughter, Martha
Hennessy, has warm memories of the socially active Day as a
“regular” grandma, one in the mold that we all knew. Hennessy
carries on the activist tradition by making her Catholic faith a
way of life, by following a vigorous social agenda herself, and
by promoting Day’s cause for sainthood wherever she can.
Hennessy, 59, took the cause to Hawaii last year, where
Darlene Dela Cruz wrote about her visit in the Hawaii Catholic
Herald. Hennessy has vivid recollections of her grandmother,
who died in 1980, as “very warm but very reserved, very serious and very focused.” Day spent much of her time traveling,
but made sure she regularly visited Hennessy’s mother,
Tamar, at the family farm in Vermont.
The life of Dorothy Day in her later years stands in marked
contrast to her lifestyle as a young woman, “drifting” in New
York. During those years she was involved in love affairs, had
an abortion, and entered a common-law marriage. That
would result in the birth of her only child, whom she baptized
a Catholic, and subsequently entered the Church herself. Dorothy Day went on to co-found the Catholic Worker movement (with Peter Maurin) in 1933, and would spend the rest
of her life with a strong antiwar platform, also campaigning
fiercely for civil rights and for migrant workers.
Meanwhile, she was busy being a grandmother. Hennessy’s
memories of her in that role go all the way back to when she
was three and sitting in her grandma’s lap. The granddaughter recalled one special visit in particular, when she was sick
in bed at the age of 13. Day consoled her by reading to her
from a book by Louisa May Alcott and giving her a bit of
fudge.
“It’s really important,” Hennessy said, “to know her in that
context.”
She was 25 when Day died in 1980, old enough to recognize the importance of her life and the influence it had on
others.
“She just had a way of understanding God and just seeing
the world that was very powerful, very unique,” says
Hennessy, who follows the Catholic Worker tradition herself.
“We all come together as a family to try to share in community. This is what she’s given us—this incredible model integrating faith in daily life with the works of mercy.”
Hennessy concedes that Day’s antiwar message and her personal faith journey might have been controversial at times,
but hopes that her call to care for those in need will resonate
with everyone.
The “very unusual” life of Dorothy Day could stand as the
reason she might become a 20th-century saint, Hennessy believes. “The more we live it, the more our rough edges are
worn off in serving others,” she said. “I believe she is a saint.”

Why Fill A BabyTooth?
When your dentist presents a plan to restore your
child's mouth which has
been injured by cavities,
your reaction may be; why
shouldn't I just wait and let
nature replace these teeth?
Here are a few facts concerning the absolute necessity of taking care of a maturing mouth if we expect
the adult mouth to be
healthy:
(1) Cavities change the
baby tooth size — causing
permanents to come in
crowded and irregular. (2)
Untreated decay causes infection (and pain), which
can alter the formation of
the new teeth, cause systemic problems and adversely affect, mouth odor
and appearance.
Erupting
permanent
teeth are in the mouth up
to six years before all the
baby teeth are lost, soaking
in bacteria laden saliva
from any decayed baby
teeth. This causes the permanent teeth to decay also,
and affects the enamel
quality, strength, position
and appearance of the new
teeth. The care of baby
teeth can help insure a
healthy adult mouth and
eliminate problems before
they develop.

Rep. Kelly Applauds House
Passage of Congressional
Balanced Budget Resolution
WASHINGTON — U.S.
Representative Mike Kelly (RPA) – a member of the House
Ways and Means Committee
– issued the following statement today in support of the
final bicameral budget agreement for fiscal year 2016, also
known as the Conference Report to S. Con. Res. 11. The
legislation was passed by the
House of Representatives
yesterday evening by 226197.
“For the first time in more
than a decade, the People’s
House has passed a plan produced by both chambers of
Congress that will balance the
federal budget in less than 10
years and put our country on
a sustainable path to real economic growth. This is a
monumental achievement by
America’s new Congress,
which is fulfilling its promise
to put commonsense priorities first and get things done
for the American people.
“This bicameral plan will finally reverse our nation’s
record high debt without raising any taxes—a far cry from
all seven of President
Obama’s proposed budgets,
including his latest proposal,
which includes more than $2
trillion in tax increases and
never even comes close to
balancing. As the world’s dangers continue to grow, our
budget will properly increase
funding for our men and
women in uniform to help
them do their jobs and keep
us safe. It will also fully preserve Medicare and begin the
important process of repealing
and
replacing
Obamacare.
“Families in Western Pennsylvania and Americans from
coast to coast are expected to
live by a responsible budget
every single year. With this
historic budget agreement,
Washington is finally doing
the same.”

Hardworking Families
This
plan
helps
hardworking families by:
· Balancing the federal
budget without raising
taxes to help create 1.2 million new jobs, save taxpayers
more than $5 trillion, and protect future generations from
crushing debt.
· Making the tax code
simpler and fairer so that
families can keep more of
what they earn and manufacturers can bring good-paying
jobs home.
· Making it easier to repeal ObamaCare so that we
can replace it with reforms
focused on lowering costs,
protecting jobs, and strengthening the doctor-patient relationship.
· Preserving Medicare so
that our seniors can have the
security, peace of mind, and
quality care they deserve.
· Ensuring a strong national defense so that our
military personnel have the
resources they need to confront threats at home and
abroad.
· Expanding America’s
energy boom to help create
more good-paying jobs and
save families money on their
bills.
· Reining in red tape so
that it’s easier to start and
grow and business in the
Land of Opportunity.
· Increasing employment
opportunities for disabled
workers and improving the
administration and coordination of benefits to protect communities and our
most vulnerable citizens.
· Cutting waste and
eliminating redundancies
so that taxpayer dollars are
spent with transparency and
accountability – or not at all.
· Calling on Congress to
pass a balanced budget
amendment so that fiscal responsibility is locked in for future generations.
Our budget is focused on
helping families get ahead
and building a stronger, more
competitive economy – and,
of course, it’s another step in
getting things done for the
American people.

TED THARAN
For Clarion County
Commisoner
I am seeking the office of Commissioner of Clarion
County for the sole purpose of making Clarion County
a more prosperous place for its residents to live and
business to exist. I am funding my own campaign so l
will owe no political favors. At 60 years of age, I am
not climbing the ladder to seek a higher office, nor
am l seeking power or fame, they mean nothing. I do
not have a hidden agenda or an ax to grind. My desire
is to have our government function within its means
so our children and grandchildren have a future here
in this county.
What Clarion County currently faces is not a
democrat or republican issue, it is a genuine concern
of its citizens. We do not need an annex, we do not
need to tax our citizens any more; we do not need
more debt that must be paid back by residents in
future years; we do not need larger government; and
we do not need more regulations that stymie growth
and business.
What we do need is a business friendly
environment so business and industry can be
prosperous and create good, permanent, family
sustaining jobs. We need a drug free and educated
work force to hold these jobs.
If you have these same values and hold these same
visions for Clarion County as l do, then your choice is
perfectly clear . . . vote for me, Ted Tharan, on May
19th.

“Recycled Rides” Vehicle Goes To Local
Veteran, Mother Of Two-year-old
The gift of a “Recycled
Ride” vehicle will make life a
little easier for a mother who
is juggling working while caring for her two- year -old son.
Jessica Watkins, 37 of Butler
Pennsylvania was chosen to
receive the Recycled Ride.
“Recycled Rides” is a community service program of
the National Auto Body Council where body shops repair
and donate recycled vehicles
to families in need.
Jessica was chosen as the
recipient of this donation
through the NABC and the
Center for Community Services in Butler. Serving in the
Air Force for 20 years , Jessica
decided to end her service a
year ago with high hopes for
her future. Finding a job immediately out of service, Jessica was found unemployed
only four months later. As a
result of financial struggles,
the Watkins family car was
repossessed leaving the family unsure of how to care for
their son who suffers from
Asthma in an emergency and
how she would see the rest of
her family and three older
children. With the receipt of
this vehicle, Jessica will be
able to see her children more
often, care for her son and
travel for special events and
family trips throughout the
year.
The keys to a refurbished
2013 Ford Explorer will be
presented to Jessica and her
family at 3:00pm on May 16,
2015 at Randy & Bob’s
CARSTAR 40th Anniversary
Open House.
“This whole experience is
very humbling. All I heard before leaving the military is that
Veterans are not well taken
care of, but this experience
has proven that to be wrong.
I am proud to be from a great
supportive community that is
caring for Veterans,” said Jessica Watkins.
The vehicle donation comes
through MetLife Auto &
Home who has been a Recycled Rides partner for four
years.
“Through MetLife Auto &
Home’s partnership with the
Recycled Rides, we’ve been
able to make a difference in
many people’s lives by donating a car to those in need. It is
an honor to be a part of another donation to help a veteran.” - Richard Ward director, MetLife Auto & Home.
Center for Community Resources in Butler sought
nominations of families in
need of reliable transportation, and Jessica was selected
by them as the recipient. The
Mission of Center for Community Resources is to make
a positive difference in every
day lives by connecting
people to a network of supports and services essential
for actively learning, working
and living in the community.
The agency’s goal is to coordinate supportive services for
individuals and families seeking information & referral for
mental health, intellectual disabilities, substance abuse and
other human service needs.
Jean Bowen, from CCR
added; “ As an employee at
Center for Community Resources, I am privileged to assist individuals in making a
positive difference in their
lives. CCR is grateful to
Natalie Butcherine for calling
and requesting assistance in
linking a family of a veteran to
a much needed vehicle. It was
inspiring to witness the
recipient’s reaction when told
that she would be the owner
of a SUV. As a young mother,
she values having a reliable
means of transportation for
her to maintain her employment but also to support the
needs of her family. Thank
you Randy & Bob’s CARSTAR
for all you do!”
Natalie Butcherine, Marketing Manager at Randy & Bob’s
CARSTAR, stated everyone at
Randy & Bob’s CARSTAR
feels honored to use their resources and team up with the
National Auto Body Council
and MetLife Auto & Home to
help this local Veteran in need.
“Randy & Bob’s CARSTAR
has been a member of the
NABC for several years now. I
am overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone involved.
Knowing this vehicle will help
her provide better for her
family makes all the time and
hard work everyone put into
this completely worth it,” said
Butcherine.
Butcherine said the staff at
Randy & Bob’s CARSTAR volunteered their time to repair
the car and serveral businesses also donated gas gift
cards, oil change certificates,
grocery gift cards and other
items to help Jessica with her
new vehicle.

Reports Quarterly Earnings
Emclaire Financial Corp
(Nasdaq:EMCF), the parent
holding company of The
Farmers National Bank of
Emlenton, reported consolidated net income available to
common stockholders of
$756,000, or $0.42 per common share, for the three
months ended March 31,
2015,
compared
to
$816,000, or $0.46 per common share, for the same period in 2014. The results for
the 2014 period included securities gains of $658,000 related to a balance sheet management strategy whereby
securities were sold to prepay a $5.0 million Federal
Home Loan Bank long term
advance and associated securities gains were used to offset the impact of a $550,000
prepayment penalty associated with the early retirement
of the advance.
Excluding the non-recurring security gains, prepayment penalty and the related
income tax impact, results in
the first quarter of 2015 were
favorable with consolidated
net income available to common
stockholders
of
$756,000 compared to
$745,000 for the same period in 2014.
William C. Marsh, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and the Bank, noted,
"We are pleased to report
positive core earnings and
balance sheet growth for the

aimed at enhancing revenue,
and the management of operating expenses. With solid
capital levels, we remain positioned for sustainable franchise growth."

Known also as the “Enchanted

On April 22nd 2015,
PENNVEST awarded Knox
Borough a grant of almost 8

site construction will begin in
September and should be
done in one year. Knox Borough Council has been working very hard on this all for
years now. Every single home
in Knox NOW has a new sewage lateral line coming out to
the new main lines on every
street, running to the treatment plant. This addressed
the ground water infiltration
issues we had, now we have
minimal ground water infiltration going to our treatment
plant. With the erection of the

see some residents have
swept the stuff up in front
of their homes on their
own, and we say thanks for
the help. The vacuum truck
won’t pick up that heavy

they do every year........The
