Megan Divers Earns the
Girl Scout Silver Award
Megan Divers, from Petroleum Valley Girl Scout
Troop #21945 earned her
Silver Award which is the
highest award earned by
Girl Scouts at the Cadette
age level. Megan is 14 years
old, attends Karns City Area
High School, and is the
daughter of Walter and
Cassandra
Divers
of
Petrolia. Megan chose to
earn her award by helping
the Chicora Elementary
School.
Working
with
the
Chicora Elementary School
principal, Mr Spack, and
the art teacher, Mrs. Green,
Megan
made
cement
benches to place in the
school’s courtyard. The
school court yard was being renovated to make it
more classroom friendly for
the students to use during
class time. Part of the renovation included adding
benches for the students to
sit upon. Mrs. Green was a
key person in Megan’s
project being tied into her
love of art. She demonstrated to Megan how to use
broken colored glass to
make mosaic scenes on the
benches. This technique
made the benches a beautiful and colorful addition to
the renovated courtyard.
Megan gathered all the materials necessary to build
and put together two mosaic benches that would last
for many years. From the
long hours of hard work
and dedication, Megan has
learned to respect those
that work hard and will
strive to improve the future
for everyone.
In addition to this project,
Megan also used her leadership skills to then teach this
mosaic art project to other
children. She instructed
about thirty girls at Girl
Scout camp in a project
where they created their
own stepping stones out of
cement and used glass
marbles to decorate in them
a mosaic-type design. All the
girls enjoyed learning this
new skill!

A Mother’s Refuge, A Son’s Legacy
By: Jerry Costello for The Christophers
By Chris Henderson
With Dick and Mike
Sean Foust recently connected on his first career hole in
one. He aced the 166 yard 15TH hole at Butler Country Club
using a 7 iron. Rumor has it Sean’s uncle Gary Whittington
has been working with Sean on his swing.
Wandy Rodriguez is 0-1 with a 10.38 ERA at AA Altoona.
Can’t wait to see him back in the bigs.
Floyd Money Matweather was paid $32 million for his fight
with Marcos Maidana. The fight went 12 rounds so that was
36 minutes. Floyd pocketed $2,666,667 per round, or
$888,889 per minute, or $14,815 per second. There are also
reports than when the pay per view dollars are added in
Floyd’s total could reach $70 million.
In 1972 baseball teams used an average of 2.94 relievers
per game. In 1992 it was up to 4.29. Today the number is up
to 5.96. No wonder some games seem to go on forever.
The Steelers first round pick Ryan Shazier may turn out to
be a good one, but I think they had other needs that could
have been addressed. Shazier played outside linebacker at
OSU and now will have to move inside since the Steelers paid
big money to Jason Worilds and drafted Jarvis Jones last year.
The Steelers could have drafted C J Moseley from Alabama
who is an inside linebacker. I thought they would have either
tried to find a replacement for aging Ike Taylor at cornerback
or found a lineman to replace trouble Mike Adams. After
back to back 8-8 seasons I thought Kevin Colbert could have
done better.
The Steelers home opener might be much more appealing
if Johnny Manziel wins the Browns starting quarterback job.
Kentucky recently gave raises to 2 assistant basketball
coaches now paying them $350,000 per year. 14 head
coaches of teams that made the NCAA tournament last year
don’t get paid that much.
Thought of the week: Eventually all things fall into place.
Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and
know everything happens for a reason.
Clarion County PASR School
Enhancement Mini-Grant
At this time of year, most of us outdoor folks are at least
somewhat obsessed with fishing. We humans, however, are
not the only anglers out there. This week, let’s look at some
of the critters with which we compete for fish.
One of the best known is the great blue heron. These birds
are often mistakenly referred to as cranes, probably due to
their resemblance to the sandhill crane. They are often seen
standing in the water on their long legs, watching for fish,
which they catch with their sword-like beak. They can swallow a fish that is a foot long without difficulty. Something that
never fails to amaze me about herons is their ability to fly right
next to the water, with their long legs trailing behind. They
build their huge nests high in trees, and nesting is occurring
more often in this part of the country.
The green heron is another angler, although it most often
eats minnows and other small fish. They are often called a
shite-poke. When I was a little kid, one of these used to visit
the creek in our backyard every spring. When I would see
him, I would know that winter was finally over.
The osprey, also known as the fish hawk, is a large hawk,
somewhat smaller than an eagle. They feed almost exclusively on fish, and their body design reflects this. They are
capable of diving almost totally underwater, and their wing
joints allow them to take off successfully from the water. They
were at one time just migratory, but some now nest in Pennsylvania. If you fish at Harbor Acres lake, you are very likely to
see them. I’ve sighted them at different times of the year, so I
can only assume that they are nesting nearby.
One of my very favorite birds is the belted kingfisher. They
do most of their fishing in streams and creeks, including the
one that runs through our home township. They somewhat
resemble a blue jay, although they are larger and have a more
pronounced crest. They dive completely underwater to capture small fish, which they then swallow whole. They will also
eat crayfish and other small aquatic critters. On very rare
occasions, they will eat mice. Their rattling, cackling call is
almost unmistakable.
Of course, the most magnificent of the other anglers is the
bald eagle, our national symbol. For a time in the twentieth
century, these wonderful creatures were actually in danger of
extinction. Now, they have made a remarkable comeback
just about everywhere. In fact, it is no longer unusual to see
bald eagles along the Allegheny River. When I was a kid, if
you would have said that eagles would appear along the river,
I would have suggested that you have your head examined.
Three years ago, my son and I had the good fortune to see an
eagle capturing a fish and carrying it off. If you’d like to see a
nesting pair, all you have to do is go to Oneida Lake. There is
a pair nesting in the big pine trees on the Route 38 side of the
lake. The best place to observe them is on the opposite side
of the lake, with a good spotting scope or pair of binoculars.
The “other anglers” are not limited to birds alone. River
otters, which are making a comeback here in the Keystone
State, are very fond of a fish dinner. Raccoons eat a lot of
crayfish, but will not hesitate to eat a fish if they can catch
them.
So, the next time you are out fishing, and think that you
have the angling to yourself, think again. You may have more
company than you realize.
Clarion County PASR exists to serve the needs of all school
retirees and to bring about positive change within our communities.
The Clarion chapter recognizes the important foundation
laid by public education. They wish to support our public
schools in their educational focus and encourage innovative
classroom ideas and professional development. This $300
School Enhancement Mini-Grant will provide resources to
support high-quality education by funding a variety of
projects, both in and out of the classroom. There will be
a minimum of one grant per year.
CCPASR* is comprised of ALL Clarion County school retirees: teachers, administrators, nurses, counselors, and support
personnel, including custodians, cafeteria workers and bus
drivers, i.e., everyone who is covered by the Public School
Employees’ Retirement System (PSERS). Therefore, any of
these employees in the local school system is eligible to
receive this award.

There will be another
Mother’s Day this year for
Jackie Giblin Bardem. She suffered an unspeakable loss 18
months ago when her 7-yearold son, Daniel, was one of 20
student-victims of a shooter in
Newtown, Conn. With special thanks to her childhood
parish in the Bronx, in New
York City, Daniel’s memory
will go on and on, for
Mother’s Days down through
the years. Her Bronx friends
thought that much of her, one
of nine little Giblin children
who grew up there. And they
never forgot.
You probably remember
Danny. He was the red-haired
kid with the gap-tooth smile
who broke your heart when
you realized what the family
must be going through.
There’s Mark, Jackie’s husband, and two other children:
James, 13, and Natalie, 12.
Jackie’s childhood parish,
Our Lady of Refuge in the
Kingsbridge section of the
Bronx, is raising enough
money to dedicate its new
athletic facility this month in
Danny’s honor: the Daniel
Bardem Memorial Gym.
Denis Hamill wrote about it in
the Daily News a couple of
months ago, and how on May
17 they’re having the Daniel
Bardem Memorial Games
there.
Jackie Bardem remembers
the gym at Our Lady of Refuge when she was just Jackie
Giblin.
“It was safe and fun,” she
recalls. “No drugs, no violence, no gangs. The guys and
girls mingled together. There
was no social media then. No
cell phones. Just kids interacting with each other, laughing,
carrying on. We all made
friendships that have lasted a
lifetime.”
The money realized on May
17, as well as that which came
from other fund-raising
events, will be used for a new
gym floor plus refurbishing
the entire facility. The honor
to her son means a great deal
to Jackie.
“The idea that the youth
center where I learned about
life as a kid will be named after my son Daniel is a very special thing for me,” she said.
“That other kids will come
there to be safe and have fun
and learn about life is fitting
because Danny was all about
helping other kids. One
neighbor described Daniel as
‘an old soul in the body of a
child.’ He was such an unusual kid, so giving, so kind,
always so concerned about
others. Just like the people of
my old neighborhood.”
That goes for the people of
Newtown as well. A teacher,
Jackie Bardem had stopped
working after the massacre,
which left 26 dead—six staff
members in addition to the 20
young pupils. The world
stopped too for a time, but
this year Jackie resumed
teaching, and all of her
family’s
friends
came
through.
“Last week,” she said, “I
came home and neighbors
who knew I’d started working again left prepared meals
for us. The kindness here
from so many people has
been overwhelming. I guess
you can say I’ve seen the best
people can be. And, of course,
the worst. But there are more
good people, and that gives
me comfort.
“Now my son’s name goes
up on the youth center.
Where I grew up. Amazing.”
Reason to count one’s blessings, certainly, this Mother’s
Day. And, come to think of it,
for many Mother’s Days yet to
come.

Hometown Heroes
Lecture at Clarion Free Library
The Clarion Free Library
(CFL) offers a free cultural
program the third Thursday
of every month. This month's
Third Thursday program,
happening on May 15th at
6:30 pm, is Clarion's Hometown Heroes: Captain
Loomis, Colonel Calvin A.
Craig, and Craig E. Fleming.
This will be a lively and informative lecture presented by
Mary Lea Lucas of the Clarion
County Historical Society and
Dr. James Maccaferri of
Clarion University. In addition to the lecture, historical
artifacts related to the lives of
these local heroes will be on
display. The names Captain
Loomis, Colonel Craig, and
Craig Fleming have become
part of the everyday life in
Clarion, but few people
know who these men are or
where and why their service
should be remembered. In
advance of Memorial Day, the
public is encouraged to come
to the library and learn about
the exploits of these gallant
soldiers.
The library has been attempting to offer more programming to enliven and enrich the cultural life in the
greater Clarion community.
These events, known as
"Third Thursdays", will feature something new every
month at 6:30 pm in the CFL
meeting room. According to
Dan Parker, Director of the
Clarion Free Library, "We have
a particular interest in highlighting the crafts and the talents of people from the region. 'Third Thursday' is designed to be more a backyard
or front porch approach to
art and culture." In the coming months, the community
can look forward to musical
groups, discussions with authors, examples of traditional
crafts, and much more in the
future. For more information

Building Healthy Communities
in a Stronger Pennsylvania
Governor Tom Corbett is committed to
ensuring there are resources available to preserve the heritage of Pennsylvania’s communities and to provide the leadership needed
to guide them out of financial struggles. As a
result, 2014 is starting to show signs of financially healthier communities across Pennsylvania.
In February, we saw the City of Harrisburg
move out of receivership when the Commonwealth Court officially rescinded the Office of
the Receiver. While cities around the country
continue to struggle, in two short years, the
City of Harrisburg emerged from crisis and is
now moving toward long-term fiscal stability.
The Borough of Millbourne’s Act 47 status
was rescinded in March by Department of
Community and Economic Development Secretary C. Alan Walker after working through
21 years in the Act 47 program. The Delaware
County community is the first municipality to
exit the Act 47 Program in more than seven
years.
There are many reasons for this positive
progress towards financial stability, many of
which involve specific initiatives of the
Governor’s Center for Local Government
Services (the Center).
Scenic Valley
Coiffures
• Persistent technical assistance to these
communities throughout the Act 47 process.
• The development and implementation of
new tax collection legislation, Act 32 of 2008.
Early unaudited estimates show that Act 32
has increased revenue in Pennsylvania’s cities
by as much as 23 percent.
• Pennsylvania’s overall improving
economy, driven by the Corbett
administration’s pro-growth policies, encouragement of public/private partnerships and
proactive local government initiatives.
The Center has a number of tools designed
to assist communities in need, to help prevent communities from entering the Distressed Communities Program and to ensure
that those communities that have exited the
program remain in good fiscal health.
If you are interested in learning about these
tools or have questions about your
municipality’s financial situation, I encourage
you to contact the Center and speak to someone on our team at 866.466.3972. We are
committed to building healthy communities in
a stronger Pennsylvania and have a variety of
resources to assist.

Clarion SAAC & Clarion
Christian Pre-school Team Up For St. Jude’s
(CLARION, PA.): Clarion
Christian Pre-School and
Clarion University Athletics
– specifically the Student
Athlete Advisory Committee, teamed up to help raise
$1,431 on May 2 for St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tn.
Clarion Christian PreSchool, which is led by director and teacher Holly
Gourley, organized a Trikea-Thon with the Clarion
SAAC Committee through
Associate Athletic Director
Wendy Snodgrass, which
was held on Friday, May 2
at Waldo S. Tippin Gymna-
sium. Sixteen pre-school
children ages 4-5, took
pledges and pedaled around
a course set up at Tippin
Gym that resulted in Clarion
Christian Pre-School raising
the $1,431.00 for children
at St. Jude’s.
“Each year our preschoolers do a project that
encourages them to give
back. When we learned of
the St. Jude’s Trike-a-Thon,
I knew it was a perfect fit
for us,” said Gourley. “Our
children knew they were
riding their bikes to help
other kids get the special
medicines they need at St.

Jude’s and they liked the
idea. The curriculum also
taught the children about
bike safety, which was another plus. We would like
to thank Wendy Snodgrass
and the SAAC Committee
for helping us organize the
event at Tippin Gym, setting up our course and tearing down afterwards. We
look forward to working
with Wendy, SAAC and
Clarion University in the future.
The Clarion University
SAAC Committee, led by
President Emilee Gysegem,
V-P Megan Toddy and Treasurer Lindsay Finke, is made
up of two members representing each varsity intercollegiate athletic team at
Clarion University. The
group works on a number
of projects during the year,
including raising money for
Make-A-Wish, and collecting food at Thanksgiving
and donating to a local food
bank.
“We were happy to join
with Clarion Christian PreSchool on such a worthwhile
project,”
said
Snodgrass. “We are hoping
to make this an annual
event.”

CLARION – PA House Republican Gas and Oil Caucus
Chair
Rep.
Donna
Oberlander
(R-Clarion/
Armstrong) announced her
support today for proposed
legislation that would require
the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)
to establish separate regulations for conventional and
unconventional drilling operations.
“The night-and-day differences between traditional
mom and pop oil and natural
gas natural producers operating throughout our region
versus the much, larger and
newer Marcellus Shale industry appear blatantly obvious
to virtually everyone, except
for DEP officials who are continuing to move forward with
regulations that treat them
exactly and detrimentally the
same,” said Oberlander. “As
Republican chair of the Pennsylvania House Gas and Oil
Caucus, I fully support this
legislation because unlike
DEP, it fully and comprehensively takes into account the
significant differences be-

tween conventional and unconventional energy development, while doing absolutely
no regulatory harm to the future survival of this 150-yearold homegrown industry that
still provides thousands of local family-sustaining jobs.”
The soon-to-be-introduced
legislation would direct the
DEP’s Environmental Quality
Board (EQB) to separate the
drilling, alteration, operation
and plugging regulations for
unconventional gas wells
from those regulations applicable to conventional oil and
gas wells in the Commonwealth. Once introduced,
Oberlander expects the proposed bill to be referred to the
House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee, of which she is a member,
for consideration.
“Last February, as a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I extensively
questioned Pennsylvania’s Environmental Protection Sec-
retary Christopher Abruzzo
regarding what specific actions DEP is taking to repair
its longstanding and farreaching reputation as the
‘biggest impediment to job
creation in Pennsylvania,’”
said Oberlander. “I also presented the concerns expressed to me by many of our
region’s smaller conventional
oil and gas producers regarding the devastating economic
impacts that DEP’s proposed,
one-size-fits-all, broadly imposed, Chapter 78 regulatory
revisions would have on their
survival. I am supporting this
proposed legislation because
one-size-fits-all-regulations
are always the wrong answer
when it comes to preserving
our natural resources,
Pennsylvania’s rich natural
gas development heritage
and the revenue-generating,
job creation and energy saving benefits that continue to
reignite our state and local
economies.”

IUP To Host
Inaugural REACH Conference
Focusing On Violence And Trauma
INDIANA, Pa. –The Inaugural Research, Education and
Advocacy for Community
Health (REACH) Conference
“Understanding and Responding to Violence and
Trauma: A Community
Health Initiative” will be held
May 20-23, 2014 at Indiana
University of Pennsylvania.
This cross-disciplinary conference will provide an indepth focus on prevention,
response and coping with
violence and trauma in the
context of families, schools,
medical settings, workplace,
and in the military. It is especially designed for supervisors and principals in
schools.
For each of the four days of
training, there will be nationally-renowned
keynote
speakers as well as a variety
of breakout sessions focused
on both research and clinical
training.
Daily panels within the
larger conference are organized according to subthemes. Evening sessions focused on in-depth training on
special topics including ethical practice in clinical work
with trauma victims.
Conference proceedings
are beneficial for practitioners and researchers in social, behavioral and medical
science disciplines, agencies
and professions, but are open
to anyone interested in this
important topic.
“When it comes to reducing violence and trauma in
our communities, we want to
be leaders in the PASSHE, state
and nation,” said Dr. Christian
Vaccaro, assistant professor
of sociology at IUP and one of
the organizers of this event.
“The REACH conference bolsters our already stellar reputation in this area.”
“While the causes of violence are complex, we can
prevent most incidences of
violence if we work together
as a community; this is the
guiding principle that led us
to develop this conference,”
said Dr. Pearl Berman, assistant chair, and professor of
psychology at IUP.
“We are invested in the perspective that knowledge and
education can contribute to
the reduction of violence and
the alleviation of pain for victims. This conference is the
inaugural event for our violence education curriculum.
Through this conference and
our violence education curriculum we hope to successfully address violence in our
region,” said, Dr. Maureen
McHugh, professor of psychology at IUP.
“In light of the tragic events
at Franklin Regional High
School, right here in our region, this is a topic that should
be important to everyone, including parents and members of the community,” she
said.
Continuing education units
for educators, social workers,
psychologists and nurses are
being offered. Approved
Continuing Education Units
include: APA, PA SW, PCB,
NBCC, CRCC, and Act 48.
The organizers have developed undergraduate and

New Art Exhibition Coming To The
Red Brick Gallery In Foxburg
Spring is in full swing in
Foxburg and adding to things
to do while in town, the Red
Brick Gallery and Shop the artist cooperative sponsored by
Allegheny RiverStone Center
for the Arts (ARCA) is please to
announce its second guest art
exhibition of the season “Two
Voices in Fiber” in the Upstairs
Gallery. “Two Voices in Fiber”
will feature the colorful and exquisitely intricate works of
Rhoda Taylor and Barbara
Frohne beginning Friday May
23rd with an Opening Reception
Saturday May 24th from 3:30
PM to 5:30 PM. Ms. Taylor and
Ms. Frohne are dear friends.
Both are Western Pennsylvania
artists, both retired educators,
both now reside in Slippery
Rock, PA and are bonded by art
of the hand and eye, Barbara the
quilter and Rhoda the fiber artist.
Rhoda Taylor is a Red Brick
artist member who works
mainly with fabrics. She has
drawn, painted, sewed fabric,
knitted, crocheted, embroidered, and done some form of
art as long as she can remember. Following retirement as a
university professor of biology
she took quilting classes, fell in
love with commercially available fabrics, and felt compelled
to make fabric wall hangings.
-She joined the Fiber Arts Guild
of Pittsburgh and began taking
a number of workshops from
nationally
known
artists
through the Guild, and other
sources in which she learned a
variety of techniques. As a biologist, she is fascinated by the
patterns and colors which occur
in nature and produces patterns
on fabric by hand dying, bleach
discharging, and rust-printing.
It is exciting --to her to iron the
damp dyed, discharged or rustprinted fabrics and see wonderful marks and patterns develop
almost serendipitously! She
then “paints” with these patterned fabrics, assembling and
stitching them with commercial
fabrics, including coffee filters,
into works of art.
Rhoda’s work has been juried
into more than 35 art exhibitions. She has solo exhibits in
Maryland, including one later
this year. She shows and sells
her work at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, as well as the
Red Brick and two galleries in
North Carolina. She belongs to
the Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh, Associated Artists of
Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Society of Artists, and the Studio
Art Quilt Associates, Inc.
(SAQA).
Barbara while teaching at
high schools in Venango
County became interested in
quilting which continued as her
life long pursuit and now her

passion since retirement. Her
beautiful and colorful patterns
accent both the traditional quilt
and what are now termed “Wall
Hanging Art Quilts”. She enthusiastically shares her skill
and the Art of Quilting through
teaching at Institute for Learning in Retirement (ILR) which
holds classes at Slippery Rock
University. This is her first major show with Rhoda Taylor and
she is enthused to be sharing
the space with a fellow fiber artist who also a friend.
Have the opportunity to meet
both artists at the opening reception on Saturday afternoon
May 24th. The Red Brick is located at 17 Main Street in
“downtown” Foxburg and is
open on weekends. The artist
cooperative is composed of local and regional artists who include painters, weavers, photographers, and potters. The
members in turn all share shifts
of gallery time to enable the Red
Brick to be open.
To know more about ARCA
and its mission, as well as the
Red Brick Gallery and Shop visit
www.alleghenyriverstone.org.
The current Upstairs show is
Fritz Keck’s “Oil Portraits of
Historic Pittsburgh” now
through May 18th; which is a
nostalgic
moment
down
memory lane of Pittsburgh
neighborhoods. Viewers often
invoke, “I remember that place”
and then launch into a story.
The Gallery phone number is
724-659-0003, and during
open hours will be answered by
the current artist at the Red
Brick. Callers during non open
hours can leave a message for a
call back at a later time. The
new extended Gallery hours are
