Knox Civic Club Selects
Citizen of the year
Korean War Vet, Robert (Bob) Loose
Robert Loose Receives
Army Good Conduct Medal
On August 3, 2015 at the American Legion Post 488,
Brady’s Bend, PA, Commander Bruce Bly had the honor to
present Robert (Bob) Loose of Hillville with the Army Good
Conduct Medal for exemplary conduct, efficiency, and fidelity during the Korean War.
Bob served in the US Army for Jan 1949 to Jan. 1952. He
was stationed in Japan when the Korean War broke out in
1950 and was immediately sent to Korea.
Bob has also received the National Defense Service Medal,
United Nations Medal, and the Republic of Korea-Korean War
Service Medal. Adjutant Sean Denham read a letter from the
President of Korea that was sent along with his medal.
Along with Bob’s wife Shirley were several family members
and friends at the Post meeting to see Bob receive this honor.
Many veterans never received medals they were due. However, with help from Bob’s son Tom and Mike Bly the American Legion Post 488 has corrected this for one veteran.

Carrying on the
tradition of choosing
a worthy recipient
for “Citizen Of The
Year” during Knox
Horsethief
Days,
Knox Civic Club is
proud to select TIKI
KAHLE
Born August 2,
1965, in Butler Memorial Hospital, to
Terry W. Kahle and
Kathleen
Wilson,
Terri Kathleen Kahle
was dubbed “Tiki” at
an early age. The
family welcomed sister Kim later on into
their home in Knox,
the town where
Terry continues to operate
his equipment business. After graduating Keystone
High School, Tiki furthered
her education at Clarion
University, gaining a degree
in 1987. “I graduated on
Saturday and went to work
Monday morning”, Tiki said
with a chuckle. She added,
“I’m fortunate to be able to
work with and support
family in my hometown.”
Serving as Parts Manager,
etc., at Terry W. Kahle since
1987, Tiki added to her education with technical training as well as becoming a
Notary Public. Her work
ethic and desire to help
people grew along with the
business, but she makes
time to enjoy her hobbies of
golfing, kayaking, bicycling, and “watching my
nieces grow up”, she adds
with a big smile. Tiki’s love
of working with children
led her to coach T-Ball with
Knox Little League for several years. She has served
on the Horsethief Committee since the 90’s, engineering the Kiddies Parade and
Tractor Races and any other
jobs needing help.
While serving on Keystone School Board for 16
years, Tiki also held a seat
on Clarion County Career
Center Board for 8 years.

Nearly 160 people took to the river in Emlenton on Saturday, August 1st for Otto’s Tavern 2nd Annual Poker Float.
It was a perfect day to enjoy being on the clear river with
the bright sunshine and to raise money for AC Valley Football.
The participants floated from Emlenton to Parker using
canoes, kayaks and floats. Two stops were conveniently located right along the river, with the first being at “Pittsburgh
Dan’s” house where everyone enjoyed hotdogs, chips, bottled
water and Margaritas. Second stop was at Mike and Diane
Sherman’s campground where hamburgers, chips and
bottled water was handed out. Everyone then landed in
Parker to stop at The Parker House and Riverstone Lounge &
Grille before being shuttled back to Otto’s Tavern for a BBQ
chicken dinner.
Best hand was awarded to Cullen McNany and worst
hand to Bob Frazier. A total of $2,700 was raised through this
event for AC Valley Football.
Otto’s and A-C Valley football would like to thank those
who hosted stops along with Foxburg Winery, Foxburg Hotel, Allegheny Grille and Foxburg Pizza donating items/certificates for prizes and IGA for the chicken and for allowing
the use of their lots for parking.
Best wishes to AC Valley Football for a successful season.

Well, it has finally happened. The Allegheny is finally fishable, and, as of this writing, they are hitting. Some buddies and
I recently had a great outing, and we have more planned. It’s
about time, and I will keep you informed.
On the weekend of August first and second, my son and I
made our first trip of the year to Pulaski, New York for fishing
on Lake Ontario. As many know, we always fish with Strike
Zone Charters out of Pulaski. Even though the salmon were
not really running, we still had a nice catch. The Sheltra brothers, who own Strike Zone, always have a Plan B. We got some
salmon, but really nice brown trout. No guide service, including Strike Zone, can guarantee fish, but we caught them when
nobody else did.
Can you believe it? By the time the next issue comes out, it
will be midway through August. Regardless of what the calendar says, this is the end of summer. Just like Memorial Day is
the unofficial first day of summer, Labor Day, which is coming
up, is the unofficial first day of fall. In my younger days, this
was the worst time of the year for me. The big reason was the
fact that it was time to go back to school. For all you students
and teachers out there, I feel your pain. Even though I retired
twelve years ago, I still get in a bit of a funk at this time of year.
When we were kids, my friends and I tried to cram as much
as we possibly could into the last week before school resumed.
There just wasn’t enough time in a day to do everything we
wanted to do. We’d ride our bikes long distances, often stopping to fish on the way. Perhaps however, the biggest thing
was sleeping out. When we were very young, of course, we
had our sleepouts in someone’s yard. As we got older, we
moved deeper into the woods and fields surrounding our
homes.
Preparing for a sleep-out was a task of epic proportions.
Usually, we took along enough stuff for a week, rather than
one night. We were obsessed with not overlooking anything.
It took many trips from home to campsite in order to get
everything into place.
We actually did very little sleeping on these outings. Instead,
we laid awake talking about the summer, and lamenting the
approach of school. When we did try to sleep, we found it
impossible, as we were just too revved up. We’d lay quietly
and listen to the sounds of the night. Those adventures were
the makings of some really good memories, some of which I
carry with me to this day.
Years ago, I wrote a short story about high topped sneakers. We’d get those in May and wear them all summer. The
rubber on them would be snow white in the spring, and filthy
and falling apart in the fall. They have pretty much fallen out
of vogue these days, but some of you older readers out there
probably remember some of the brands that were available.
How about Red Ball Jets? Or U.S. Keds? Then, of course, there
were PF Flyers. Converse All Stars were the top of the line at
the time, but none of our family budgets could accommodate
those. Most of the time I wore Skips. They were sold by Montgomery Ward, my mother’s favorite store.
One of the saddest rituals, I guess you could call it, at the end
of summer was disposing of the sneakers. Into the trash they
went, along with our freedom, for another nine months.
Of course, once we got readjusted to school, things started
to look up. We had hunting season to look forward to, and
there was still enough nice weather left for us to spend a lot of
time outdoors.
You may be wondering where all of this fits into an outdoor
column. In actual fact, we spent the entire summer outside.
We were in the house to eat and sleep, and that was about it.
I hope you enjoyed this little trip on the time machine. Next
week, we’ll get back to the regular stuff.

New Life for Injured Police Officer
By: Jerry Costello for The Christophers
On May 22 of this year Andres Gonzalez Jr., known as Chico,
was married to Amanda Klein at Our Lady of Guadalupe
Church in New Orleans. The officiating priest was a friend of
the bride—Father Tony Rigoli, an Oblate. Not much out of
the ordinary so far, but there was one slightly unusual note—
the groom remained seated throughout the ceremony, in his
wheelchair. And one more thing: nine years before, to the
day, Gonzalez, a cop, lay severely wounded on a New Orleans
street, fighting for his life.
Thereby hangs a tale, of course, and editor Peter Finney Jr.
tells it in his paper, the (New Orleans) Clarion-Herald. It’s
quite a story, and it goes like this:
It all began (on May 22, 2006) with a routine traffic stop,
but as any cop will tell you, there’s no such thing as a “routine”
traffic stop. As Gonzalez asked the driver to step out of the
car, the passenger, Eddie Harrison, took off running.
Gonzalez, who had run cross-country at Archbishop Rummel
High School, chased him, and when he had caught up
Harrison withdrew a gun from his waistband and fired twice
at Gonzalez. The second bullet entered near his chin and severed his C5 cervical vertebra, paralyzing the officer.
Then, without saying a word, Harrison stood above him,
squeezing off three more shots: two in the face and one in the
chest.
“I guess he thought he finished me off,” Gonzalez said later.
He hadn’t, of course, but the young patrolman would wonder
from time to time if he might be better off had Harrison succeeded. Gonzalez was awake “for every bump and shake” on
the initial ambulance ride, and then there were the long hours
of rehabilitation—hours that turned into days and weeks, then
months and years.
But as you already know, this is one tale with a happy ending. Eddie Harrison, captured shortly after the shooting, was
subsequently convicted and is now serving a life term in
prison.
One day, when Gonzalez was feeling better, he wondered
how he could help others to repay people for their role in his
recovery—and in 2011, Help4Heroes.org, a nonprofit that
aids first responders, was born. Gonzalez, with the help of
friends, started the organization to make sure that the families of those who were killed or injured in the line of duty
would be cared for.
Then Amanda Klein came into Gonzalez’ life. A paramedic,
she and a group of friends had founded their own nonprofit
to aid charities, and she and Gonzalez discovered they had
something in common. They talked on the phone, then attended an athletic event together—where, Klein later recalled,
“we talked the entire game.” Soon they were attending board
meetings together, and over the course of a year Klein found
herself falling in love.
“At least I know what I’m getting into,” she told her sister.
“The love part comes easy, and at least I know what to expect. Marriage is in sickness and in health.”
The church and the priest were easy decisions. “It’s such a
welcoming place,” Klein said, “and Father Tony is everything
anybody should be.”
The ceremony went off without a hitch, and Gonzalez’ father put it all into perspective. “What a difference nine years
makes,” he said. “He wanted to get married on this day to
show that the day is not sad. It’s what you do with it that
counts.”

The Appalachian Trail Conservancy
Launches Video Series
Aimed At Educating Hikers
HARPERS FERRY, W.Va. –
Volunteers and staff at the Appalachian Trail Conservancy
(ATC) have created a series of
entertaining and informative
videos that teach visitors how
to reduce their imprint on the
Appalachian Trail (A.T.). The
videos, titled “Don’t Be That
Guy – Appalachian Trail Leave No Trace,” was released on Saturday, Aug. 1.
Filmed by professional
videographer and former
thru-hiker Tara Roberts with
support from the U.S. Forest
Service, the Leave No Trace
Center for Outdoor Ethics,
the ATC’s Tennessee License
Plate Fund, and the ATC volunteers, the series illustrates
the proper practices for hiking and camping that minimize impacts on the A.T.
“‘Leave No Trace’ is a great
program that encourages everyone to minimize their impacts on the outdoors. These
methods are needed on the
Appalachian Trail, especially
due to its popularity,” said
Tom Banks, video producer
and director. “There’s a lot of
good information available
from the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics teaching the principles, and what
these videos add is informa-

tion that applies specifically
to the Appalachian Trail.
They illustrate the techniques
in a direct, but entertaining,
way.”
The series features a clip on
each of the seven principles
of Leave No Trace, which include plan ahead and prepare, travel and camp on durable surfaces, dispose of
waste properly, leave what
you find, minimize campfire
impacts, respect wildlife, and
be considerate of other visitors. Additional videos will be
released later in the month
will include engaging elements like interviews with recent hikers and actors in the
series as well as a lighthearted
bloopers and outtakes reel.
“We have to be vigilant.
Our duty is to take care of the
A p p a l a c h i a n
Trail,” explained Sarah Jones
Decker, a creative consultant,
actor in the videos, and
former A.T. thru-hiker. ”As
the Trail becomes more
popular, we need to make
sure that we are working diligently to spread the ‘leave no
trace’ message.”
The video series is one way
the ATC is preparing for a
surge in Trail use following
the release of the film A Walk
in the Woods, a comedy adventure starring Robert
Redford and Nick Nolte as old
friends who make the improbable decision to hike the
2,190-mile Trail. The film will
be released September 2 by
Broad Green Pictures. The
ATC acted as a consulting organization during production
and assisted with the film’s
environmental messaging.
“Effort will be necessary to
keep the Appalachian Trail in
its natural state, especially
given the increased attention
that the Trail is receiving,”
said Javier Folgar, the ATC’s
director of Marketing and
Communications. “Whether
you are new to hiking or are
an experienced 2,000-miler
on the Appalachian Trail, everyone can benefit from
watching these videos as a reminder of how to reduce impact.”

Foreigner’s -Journey hits the stage at the first annual
Paradise Park Rib Fest in Cowansville.
by Brad Rapp
Mom, “What is There To Do?”
What is there to do? I used to
ask my mother this question a
thousand times. Each time, the
answer was the same; “Go read a
book”. My enjoyment of reading
would come later, but certainly
not at the age of 8. For many of
us, finding something to do is essential. Are we not all in the
world of entertainment? We all
like to be captivated, enriched
and engaged, keeping our minds
and bodies busy.
I am very appreciative of all
those who coordinate, organize,
plan and prepare events in the
local area. Without them, the
show will not go on. (John Soroka
- ARCA; Julie & Cathy Powell and
Co. - “LEGACY”, Sally Snow East Brady Riverfest, Tina
Zychowski - Emlenton Riverfest,
Nadine Wise - Otto’s Tavern,
Parker Community Day, Foxburg
October Festival, and Mike
Vereb for all his efforts to bring
things to life in the valley.)
Across our small towns that
link together, we are truely
blessed that “someone” has
stepped forward so that we may
have the opportunity to “have
something to do”.
Saturday, August 1, 2015
brought about nearly 160 visitors
to the Allegheny River in
Emlenton for a Fun Float which
helped raise money for the A-C
Valley Football team.
Later in the day, Allegheny
Riverstone Center for the Arts
presented “WaterSeed” - the
nationally acclaimed recording
artists and rhythm and groove
band.
And,.... you didn’t have to
travel much further if it was great
ribs, music and spirits you were
looking for. The 1st annual Paradise Park Rib Fest held in
Cowansville is certainly something you don’t want to miss next
year. This venue featured an awesome venue of ribs, food and
great music that was extremely
affordable - $5.00 daily admission. The three day event featured an Eagles tribute band on
Friday and Foreigner’s Journey
tribute band on Saturday.
And for Sunday...... it’s back to
reading.
A great big “Thank You” to all
those that make this area a great
place to live and unwind.
If you see him on
August 13th
Wish him a
Happy 2nd Birthday
Robert Weckerly Jr.
Love,
