Nation’s Largest Industrial Trade Association Says
Rep. Kelly Champion of Manufacturing
Rep. Kelly Honored with
Award for Manufacturing
Legislative Excellence
Washington, D.C. –
The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) has
awarded Rep. Mike
Kelly (PA-03) the NAM
Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence. The award is
based on his votes in
the 113th Congress
on issues that are
critical to manufacturing in the United
Rep. Mike Kelly (PA-03)
States.
“Manufacturers in
Pennsylvania and throughout the United States
are making a comeback, creating jobs, making
more products and making them better than ever
before,” said NAM Senior Vice President of Policy
and Government Relations Aric Newhouse. “However, manufacturers are often disproportionately
impacted by decisions made by policymakers in
Washington. The NAM is proud to stand with lawmakers like Rep. Kelly who understand what is at
stake and seek to implement policies that will foster innovation, growth and competitiveness.”
Key Votes included in the Voting Record are selected by small, medium and large manufacturing
executives who serve on the NAM’s Key Vote Advisory Committee.
US Rep. Mike Kelly serves the Communities of
the 3rd District including: Armstrong, Butler,
Clarion, Crawford, Erie, Lawrence and Mercer
Counties.

DOUBLE
DRIVEL
Into The
Outdoors
By Chris Henderson
With Dick and Mike
Mike’s Commentary: Congratulations to Justin Morneau for winning the National League batting title this year. In all his years with
the Minnesota Twins, I always respected Morneau for a guy who
played hard, a guy who played the game right. Then I was so excited
when the Pirates picked him up last year for their playoff run and I was
so bummed when they let him go to sign with the Rockies after the
season ended. However, Morneau has slipped down a few rungs on
the ladder for me. Battling toe to toe with Josh Harrison over the last
few weeks of the season to see who would win the batting title,
Morneau decided to sit out the last 2 games of the year (with the
exception of a pinch at bat in the season finale) to preserve his .319
average. Harrison went 1 for 8 in his final two games, dropping to a
season ending .315 average. Morneau accomplished his goal of winning the batting title, but, in my opinion, he did so like a coward. I
think he should have played the season out like a man and let the
chips fall where they may.
Mike Likes: Texans at Steelers: The Pittsburgh/Houston rivalry
was a good one in the late ‘70’s when Houston was the Oilers and not
the Texans. This Texans team doesn’t have Bum Phillips, Dan
Pastorini, Earl Campbell or Billy “White Shoes” Johnson, but, I think
they still have enough in their six-shooters to beat the Steelers.
Texans 27 Steelers 17
Virginia Tech at Pitt: The way the Panthers are playing, they don’t
stand a prayer in this one. Take the Hokies, 27-13.
Dick’s Thoughts
Congratulations to Keystone High School’s Amber Hess for capturing her third straight District 9 golf championship. Amber shot 77
at Pinecrest Country Club, good enough for a 14 shot victory.
The Pirates recently cut Jose Tabata. There is a good chance, as
Tabata is still owed over $8.5 million, and anyone that would want
Jose would have to pick up that contract.
Thank goodness for television. The average ticket price for the
Steelers is $328.12, the Penguins is $230.58, and the Pirates is
$73.91.
The Big 10 and ACC are both mediocre at best in football. Florida
State and Michigan State are probably the only 2 teams out of those
leagues that would stand a chance in the SEC.
I read one preview of the ALCS and it said the Royals were 0-73
this year in games where they scored fewer runs than their opposition. Think about that.
The New York Giants Jason Pierre-Paul recently said of the (4-1)
Eagles, “They’re not as good as their record, they could easily be (04)”. I am hoping Pierre-Paul did not major in math at South Florida.
A much better week for the NFL, it looks like more NCAA football
players were in trouble with the law than the pros. Although Adrian
Peterson allegedly admitted to smoking a little weed while on bond
awaiting his trial for child abuse.
It looks like Katy Perry will be the Super Bowl halftime entertainment. I wouldn’t know her if she walked on the porch. But for us
AARP members it’s time for some younger talent.
Thought of the week: Wise men are not always silent, but they
know when to be.
Dick’s Picks
A-C VALLEY @ Brookville: Both teams are desperate for a win. I
wish they still had ties. Brookville 16 AC VALLEY 14
KARNS CITY @ KEYSTONE: Karns City is counting the days till
the playoffs. Keystone getting better each week. KC 42 Keystone
20
Redbank @ MONITEAU: Redbank might be looking ahead to
showdown with Clarion. Moniteau tough to beat at the Swamp.
Redbank’s balance the difference. Redbank 28 MONITEAU 21
UNION @ Ridgway: Ridgway is having a great season. The Knights
are still banged up. This might be the year of the Elkers. Ridgway 27
UNION 20
Virginia Tech @ PITT: Both teams started the season off with high
hopes. The Hokies looked great when they thumped Ohio State, but
have struggled since then. Pitt started off great and then reverted to
being Pitt. VT 24 PITT 20
Texans @ STEELERS: The return of Bill O’Brien to Pennsylvania.
The man who made Tom Brady, doesn’t have a quarterback in Texas.

With small game seasons
upon us, it is time for our
annual look at some hunting hazards. Of course,
firearms handling safety,
along with making sure of
your target and backstop
are of vital importance.
There are, though, some
other
considerations,
which are sometimes overlooked, and they will be the
focus of this week’s column.
One of the dangers seldom thought of at this time
of year is poison ivy. Although usually thought of
as a summer problem, the
stalks and dead leaves still
contain urushiol, the substance which causes the
violent skin reaction in susceptible individuals. Now,
there’s an additional problem. The old adage “leaflets three, let it be,” is no
longer very helpful. You
can’t readily see the plant.
Just to be on the safe side, I
always shower with Fels
Naphtha soap after hunting, unless I’m absolutely
sure that the plant doesn’t
exist in an area I’m hunting. So far, this has worked
for me, and I’m really susceptible to the poison and
its harmful effects.
If, like me, you frequently
hunt alone, any number of
unpleasant things could
happen, and they are compounded by the fact that
nobody is with you. You
could very easily fall and
become
incapacitated.
Also, there is always the risk
of a heart attack or some
other medical crisis. For
that matter, you could
throw your back out and be
unable to move. For these
reasons, it is vital that you
make sure someone knows
where you’re hunting. I
always tell my wife where
I’m going, and, if I decide to
go to another spot, I either
stop at home or call and tell
her. That way, if I don’t
show up at home, she’ll
know where I am, and convey the information to
emergency services.
Let’s elaborate a bit on
some of the nasty falls hunters can take. One of the
worst occurs when you step
lengthwise on a wet log that
is covered with leaves.

Down you go, right on your
tailbone. Often, if you’re
careful, you can spot the
logs ahead of time, but
you’re almost certain to
miss spotting one from time
to time. It’s also possible to
hit your head on a rock or
log, causing serious injury,
including prolonged unconsciousness. Broken bones
can also occur and, if you’re
a long way from help, can
be a serious matter. Once
again, this illustrates the
necessity of making sure
that
someone
knows
where you are hunting.
Still another potential
problem is eye injury.
When you’re absorbed in
what you are doing, it’s
easy to get poked in the eye
with a branch. Here’s yet
another case where a bit of
caution can go a long way
toward preventing a problem, but we all let our guard
down once in awhile.
Getting lost is another
hazard.
Realistically,
around here, you can almost always find your way
to civilization. In other areas, especially those with
which you are unfamiliar,
getting lost can lead to
spending at least one night
in the woods. If you’re not
prepared for it, this can be
pretty bad. Take the time
to notice significant landmarks around you, and pay
attention to where you are
going. Also, it’s a good idea
to learn how to use a compass or GPS unit.
It’s also extremely important to know your physical
limitations and to stay
within them. If you are out
of shape, and seldom exercise, the rigors of just walking, climbing hills, dragging out a big game animal,
etc. can be too much for
you. If it’s been a while
since you have been active,
this should send up a warning flag.
When you come right
down to it, hunting is a really safe sport. When you
look at how many participate in it in Pennsylvania,
compared to the number of
injuries and illnesses that
result, this is clearly illustrated. Most of the time a
bit of common sense is all it
takes to stay safe.

A Father Brings Hope
To Brain-Injured Children
By: Toni Rossi Director of
Communications for The Christophers
When Sarah Jane Donohue
came into the world on June
5, 2005, she was a happy,
healthy newborn. Five days
later, she had two broken collarbones, four broken ribs,
and a traumatic brain injury
that destroyed 60 percent of
the rear cortex of her brain.
Why? Because she was
shaken violently by the baby
nurse that her parents had
hired to help care for her.
Doctors told Sarah Jane’s
father Patrick that she would
never be able to do much of
anything, not even walk or
talk. But Patrick wouldn’t accept that prognosis as the final word. Though he worked
as a lawyer, he started reading whatever he could about
the human brain and soon
learned how little medical science actually knows about it.
Part of the reason for that has
to do with funding. Despite
the fact that 80,000 American youth are hospitalized
each year with brain injuries—and 11,000 of those
young people die—the federal government only spends
$10 million annually on research for effective treatment.
To remedy this situation,
Patrick created the Sarah Jane
Brain Project. During an interview on “Christopher
Closeup,” he said, “The idea
was to establish this National
Pediatric Acquired Brain Injury plan, the PABI Plan,
which develops a seamless,
standardized, evidence-based
system of care that’s universally accessible for millions of
American families.” Doctors
and scientists from all over
the world came on board and
established a PABI plan that
Patrick is now trying to
implement through political
channels.
In the meantime, he saw the
need for kids like Sarah Jane
to get an education in an environment uniquely suited for
them. With the help of experts in the field of brain injury treatment and rehabilitation, he helped launch the International Academy of
Hope—or iHope. It’s “the
first and only school for kids
with brain injuries and brainbased disorders here in New
York City. The response that
we’re getting with these kids
is incredible. We have one girl,
Hannah, who’s 14. When she
started in September 2013,
she could barely stand and she
was nonverbal. She’s now
walking around the school.
And three months ago, she
said to her mother for the first
time, ‘I love you.’” Sarah Jane
hasn’t come that far, but she
is also making progress.
With all his work, Patrick’s
number one priority remains
his daughter—and it has been
since a moment in the hospital back in 2005. He said, “She
was less than two weeks old,
and they were trying to get an
IV into her. Her mouth was
wide open, she had tears
coming down her face, but
she couldn’t [vocally] cry because of the brain injury. I’ll
never forget looking at her
and saying, ‘It’s my job to be
the voice for her.’”
Patrick’s Catholic faith has
enabled him to continue moving forward with a positive
attitude, and he notes that he
sees divine intervention in
daily activities with Sarah
Jane. He doesn’t spend time
questioning why this happened to her, but instead
takes a cue from the Serenity
Prayer by focusing on the
things he can change.
Where does Patrick hope to
be five years from now? “My
job is to change the world for
Sarah Jane and the millions of
kids like her. So five years
from now, we better be a
good way into implementing
the PABI Plan. Our intentions
are to develop an iHope in
Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles,
Dallas,
Mumbai,
Shanghai…My philosophy is
pretty simple: things work
out best for those who make
the best of the way things
work out.”

Dr. Domenick DeFRANCISIS
How White A Smile?
Those looking to emulate
the pure-white smiles of
magazine-cover
models
should know that "Chiclet
teeth" are more a matter of
photo enhancement than reality. Patients should bear this
in mind when undergoing
teeth-whitening and tooth-replacement procedures. In
the latter case, the dentist
makes aesthetic decisions
based on tooth size in relation to surrounding teeth,
surface texture, contour,
shape and color. As far as
tooth color is concerned,
teeth are not completely
white, but are made up of yellows, blues, grays, greens and
oranges. Thus, unless a patient is set on a career in the
movies, he or she would be
better off with lighter teeth
that mimic enamel's subtle
range of hues than with pure
white teeth.
P.S. Teeth tend to be darker
at their bases than at their
edges.

Internationally Acclaimed Pianist, Gayle Martin Henry
Returns to Foxburg
Gayle Martin Henry
Henry
Wadsworth
Longfellow provided posterity with many gems and
among them is this poignant statement: “Ah, how
good it feels! The hand of
an old friend.” In a performance on Sunday, October
19, 2:00 PM at Lincoln Hall
in Foxburg, Allegheny
RiverStone Center for the
Arts doubles the pleasure
with the return, by popular
demand, of an old friend, internationally acclaimed pianist Gayle Martin Henry. In
the artistry of her hands, you
are sure to experience musical and technical mastery.
Henry has had a distinguished career as a concert
artist, achieving interna-
tional prominence as
the sole American
Laureate of the sixth
International
Tchaikovsky Piano
Competition in Moscow, and only the
third
American
woman ever to reach
the finals. A native of
Texas, she was one
of the very last students of the famous
pedagogue, Madame
Rosina Lhevinne at
the Juilliard School,
where
she
was
awarded the very
prestigious
Josef
Lhevinne Prize. She
also studied with the wellknown Seymour Bernstein,
who is the subject of a recent documentary featured
in the New York, Telluride
and Toronto Film Festivals
this Fall. Her M.A degree
was earned at New York
University, where she was
on the faculty for five years.
Her most recent highlight
was a performance of the
Beethoven “Emperor” Concerto with the California
Philharmonic at the Ambassador Theater in Pasadena.
Other performances include
appearances with the Houston Symphony (since age
12), the Moscow Radio Philharmonic, the Maracaibo
Symphony, the Denver
Symphony, the Minnesota
Orchestra, the Amarillo,
Virginia and Battle Creek
Symphony Orchestras, the
Central New Jersey Symphony,
and
the
Philharmonia Virtuosi of
New York. She has toured
throughout South America,
including an engagement in
Buenos Aires at the Teatro
Colón with the Orquesta
Sinfónica Nacional de Argentina. In 2004, her performance
with
the
Moravian Philharmonic of
Judith Shatin’s Piano Concerto, “The Passion of St.
Cecilia,” was released by
Capstone Records.
Additional concerts include performances at Lincoln Center in New York, at
the White House and at the
Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., and numerous
other appearances throughout the United States,
Puerto Rico, Mexico, England, Austria, Poland, Israel, Russia, the Czech Republic,
and
Mainland
China.
Reviewers have written of
“her intense passion and
deep-seated emotional response to the music” (Washington Post), and that “this
was a performance which,
if recorded on 78s, could

Given such a focus their work

and faces through the intuitive
and interpretive eyes of Artist
Amy Lindenberger. An opening
reception and meet the artist is
scheduled for Sunday October
19th from 3 PM to 5 PM. The
reception coincides with
ARCA’s Autumn Afternoon
Sunday piano concert at Lincoln
Hall at 2:00 PM featuring Gayle
Martin Henry.
Ms. Lindenberger is an Ohio
native with a Bachelor of Fine
Arts degree in Drawing from
the University of Akron (OH). In
a 15-year span she worked as a
portrait artist, completing over
600 privately commissioned
portraits. In 1985 she opened
The Linden Tree Fine Art Studio in North Canton, OH, offering adult drawing classes, instructions for teens, and children, and special focus workshops in drawing. In 1996 Amy
began pursuing her dream by
combining her experience in
depicting human expression
and emotion with her lifelong
passion for the Civil War era.
The culmination of this effort
can be seen in Beyond the
Battlefield, a series of largescale colored pencil images
which focus on the war’s effect
on the citizen-soldier, his wife
and children, and society as a
whole. Amy’s work depicts with
great sensitivity these personal
realities of the Civil War, and
complement battle scenes and
high drama depicted by other
Civil War artists. From 2004 to
2013, she owned and operated
her Civil War Fine Art Gallery &
Studio in Gettysburg, PA. She
currently is part of a six-artist
co-op, The Drawing Room
Gallery at the studio. Amy is a
member of the faculty of the
Botanical Art and Illustration
Program at Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh, PA, providing instruction in colored pencil techniques for use in botanical art.
Amy was the featured artist at
the 2004 March to Destiny
Civil War Encampment in
Shippensburg, PA, and served
as a lecturer at the Women’s
History
Symposium
in
Gettysburg.
AThe Gallery’s home is a
charming and historic 135 year
old building that was once the
business office of the Fox family
from Philadelphia and the
namesake of the Foxburg village. It was attractively restored
in 2004 by its current owners,
who are also ARCA members,
and became known as The Red
Brick.
The Red Brick is located at 17
Main Street in “downtown”
Foxburg and is open on weekends. Store hours are Friday
3:00 PM to 8:00 PM, Saturday
11:00 AM to 8:00 PM

or she was listening to one
of the greats of the past.”
(Woodstock Times).
In reviewing her Alice
Tully Hall recital at Lincoln
Center, the New York
Times reported that she created “a truly magical
atmosphere…and
made
this listener smile with pleasure.” Following a recent
performance
of
the
Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto, the critic Courtenay
Cauble wrote: “Gayle Martin has it all. The depth of
feeling
is
always
there…because she makes
the music her own and then
communicates it, as any real
artist must learn to do. Her
performance was both brilliant and moving, and always beautiful.”
A theme running through
some of ARCA’s late season
programming
features
works that composers have
written for the dance. Ms.
Henry has chosen selections from Prokofiev’s
Romeo and Juliet Ballet
Suite and several works by
Frederic Chopin for this occasion. Additional offering
will include the “Wanderer
Fantasy” and the Impromptu
by
Franz
Schubert.

OBITUARIES
Dolores M.“Dee” Gruener
Dolores M. “Dee” Gruener,
age 89, devoted mother of
Robert L. Gruener and Kathy
(Lee) Fierst; loving grandmother of Christopher
(Michelle) Gruener, Jessica
(Andy) Manucy, Stacy (Gary)
Hawranko, and Stephanie
(Doug) Johnston; cherished
great-grandmother
of
Addison Gruener, Owen
Gruener, Rachel Manucy,
Madelyn Manucy, William
Manucy, Joseph Hawranko,
Avery Hawranko, Sydney
Hawranko, Olivia Johnston,
Alyssa Johnston, and fond
aunt to many nieces and
nephews, passed away
peacefully on October 5,
2014 at Family Hospice in
Pittsburgh. Dolores was preceded in death by her parents
Catherine and Henry Roth,
stepfather Harry Atkinson,
and her loving husband of 61
years Robert F. Gruener. She
is survived by her beloved
brother John Roth and sister
Eileen (Gary) Labans.
Dee was born Dolores Roth
in Pittsburgh on May 25, 1925
and attended Perrysville High
School on the North Side. It
was there she met Robert
Gruener, the love of her life.
They were married on April
16, 1947. In the early years of
their marriage there were a
few financial setbacks due to
an illness in the family but
they always managed to make
ends meet, often because
Dolores went to work. Having studied business at
Perrysville High School, she
had the skills necessary to find
employment at Rosenbaum
Brothers Department Store
and Autenreith’s 5 & 10 when
the family needed her help.
And being a talented roller
skater certainly paid off because it landed her a job as
one of the first “car hops” at
Eat’n Park Restaurant in the
1950s, something she was
very proud of.
Dolores and her husband
Robert lived on the North Side
of Pittsburgh for a while right
after they were married but
eventually made their home in
Baldwin Township in the
South Hills where they raised
their children. In the 1970s
with more women moving
into the workforce, a demand
was created for qualified day
care and having already
raised her own family, the
table was set for Dolores to
pursue a new career as a day
care provider out of her now
empty nest. Her love of children made her a natural for
that job and she spent the
next 15 years providing love
and care for the children of
busy professional women.
She was a true “nanny” before
Carole A. Hiles
Dolores M. “Dee” Gruener
the word became popular. .
Although Dolores was born
in Pittsburgh and died in Pittsburgh, where she really
“lived” was on the Allegheny
River in Emlenton. Having
vacationed there for several
years with her husband and
family, she was very familiar
with and very much loved
that part of the Allegheny. So
when husband Robert retired
in 1984, they decided to
spend the rest of their days
just “fishin” on the river and
they retired there for 25 wonderful years. She always referred to those years as the
happiest of her life.
As an active member of St.
Michael Church, she did some
volunteer work and participated in the “prayer chain”
and other church activities.
During those years and during her entire adult life Dee
was always available to help
anyone who asked. This ability to counsel and care for
friends, family, children and
even perfect strangers with
unconditional love and compassion was God’s greatest
gift to Dolores. Whether it
was in person or on the
phone, she was never too
busy to help. Dolores spent
most of her life being there
for others and she will truly
be missed.
Family and friends were received at the Hile Funeral
Home Inc., 1204 Kerr Ave.,
Emlenton, Wednesday, October 8, and on Thursday, October 9, 2014. A Mass of
Christian Burial was celebrated at 10:00 a.m. Friday,
October 10. 2014 at St.
Michael The Archangel Roman Catholic Church in
Emlenton with the Rev. William R. Barron, church pastor,
officiating. Interment followed at St. Michael Cemetery, Emlenton.

Life story of Terrence
Johnson-Cooney in Poetry and
Prose. Born 27 June 1947 to
Eileen Dittman Cooney and
Frank Cooney in Bradford, Pa.
His Father had left his Mother
but came to see his son when he
was five days old. Terrence did
not meet his Dad until he was
21 years old in Butte, Montana.
His Father asked him to forgive
him for what he had done to his
wife and son.
As a child he and his Mother
lived with the Dittman’s in
Limestone, New York. He was
only three when she remarried
an abusive man. His Mother was
in a TB hospital for a year and
left him with an abusive young
girl to care for him. He was sure
happy when his Mother returned
home. Due to the great stress he
was under he failed kindergarten. When he was 12 a mad man
tried to kill him in the Methodist church in Limestone, New
York. He never told anyone.
After an abusive marriage his
Mother died at age 35 leaving
him to fend for himself. He also
had 3 younger siblings to look
after. After three years he went
to live with his grandparents
Dittman. This move saved his
life. He went to Clarion State
College. It took him 5 years to
graduate because he had to
work at J. C. Penny’s and work in
the college library to pay for his
education.
He was accosted by a ghost in
Monroe, Pa. Later he found out
that woman and her two children burned up in the same
house many years ago. He also
saw a ghost in his apartment in
Oak Park, lllinois. His neighbor
in the next apartment had told
him that a man had killed his
boss in that apartment and had
cut him up, put him in garbage
bags and put them in the alley
behind the building.
Terrence traveled to 11 foreign
countries and photographed
them. He also did a lot of genealogy work while overseas and
wrote Poetry.
In 1990 he returned to Pa. and
purchased the Heasley-Sutton
home in Emlenton. He later
learned that he was related to
the house. He opened a Bed and
Breakfast and called it Apple Alley B & B. He and his partner
Richard Schnur operated it for
10 years. One lady from St.
Mary’s visited there and asked
if he had an ax in the house?
He said, “No.” She said “good
and they would stay,”
Mr. Cooney after selling the
B & B moved to Butler, Pa.
where he still lives. God has
more work for him on earth!
Terrence’s book can be purchased here at The Progress
News, Emlenton, PA.
