Local Teens Return From
Tour of Nation's Capitol
L-R: Julianna Crates, Zach
Moore, Kendyll Smith
PARKER, Pa. - July 2, 2013 Three local teens attended the
2013 Rural Youth Tour program in Washington, D.C.
sponsored by Central Electric
Cooperative (CEC) of Parker,
Pa.
Julianna Crates (Venus,
Pa.), Kendyll Smith (Petrolia,
Pa.), and Zachary Moore
(Chicora, Pa.) spent six funpacked days from June 16 to
21 in our nation's capitol.
They joined students from
other Pennsylvania and New
Jersey electric cooperatives,
along with over 1,500 high
school juniors from across the
country, to experience the
beauty and history of our
nation's capital and learn
about electric cooperatives.
Their itinerary included
meeting with local congressional representatives, visiting national monuments and
museums, experiencing a
diner cruise on the Potomac
River, and a play at the John F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
"This was a life changing
trip that I will never forget.
And even better I made some
amazing friends that I think
will be life-long," said Julianna
Crate.
"Not only was Washington,
D.C. an amazing place, but it
was also enjoyable learning
about our country's history
with my peers. I will always
remember the awesome time
I had at D.C., along with the
new friends I met there,"
added Kendyll Smith.
Youth Tour was founded in
1957 from an idea of former
Texas senator, Lyndon B
Johnson, to provide young
students the opportunity to
experience our nation's capital. The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association
(NRECA), based in Arlington,
Va., accepted the leadership
role in 1964 to coordinate efforts in overseeing this worthwhile program. For more information on how you can
participate in NRECA's Rural
Youth Tour program contact

Central Electric Cooperative's (CEC)'s purpose is to
enhance the quality of life for
its 25,000 members by providing energy, and related
products and services. The
co-op is a not-for-profit
Touchstone Energy Cooperative with over 3,000 miles of

The following was written
by Samantha Beal, a student
at Keystone Jr./Sr. High
School, about her experience
of attending the American Legion Auxiliary’s “Keystone
Girls State”.
by Samantha Beal
Sunday, June 23rd marked
the 68th annual assembly of
American Legion Auxiliary’s
Keystone Girls State, a weeklong program that is offered
to Pennsylvania girls finishing
their junior year of high
school. Open to all girls with
an interest in politics and government, KGS’s mission is to
instruct a rudimentary understanding of the mechanism of
the United States government
to the young Citizens who
participated. This is accomplished through projects
with a focus on citizenship,
Patriotism, leadership and integrity, four aspects that
form the foundation of the
American Spirit.
As a student of Keystone
High School, I was fortunate
enough to be sponsored by
the American Legion Auxilary
Post 997 to participate in the
2013 gathering of KGS.
Spending a week at
Shippensburg University in
Shippensburg, Pennsylvania
to develop myself as a leader
sounded like an interesting
prospect from the beginning.
My journey, however, was far
beyond what I expected. Retiring at midnight, rising at
five-thirty, spending the entire
day in seminars and talks was,
admittedly, exhausting…but
what I gained from such a
routine was remarkable. I
heard speakers from a variety
of backgrounds share their
experiences of military life,
their adoration of America
and their devotion to her preservation. Each person who
presented to the Citizens at
this year’s Girls State was utterly sincere and reverent in
their regard for their nation,
and each honestly demonstrated the importance of harboring a deep and personal
affection for the United
States. Before the week was
out, my fellow Citizens and I
were readily embodying their
Patriotic example, always saluting the flag with new dignity and respect, thanking the
soldiers also present on campus for their service and dedicating ourselves to service
projects that benefitted military families and injured veterans.
Patriotism was not the only
lesson we received, though.
Every Citizen witnessed the
voting process, from city to
county to state elections, had
the chance to participate in a
KGS State Senate meeting
that proposed, amended and
accepted bills from Citizens,
and visited with their county
representatives at the State
Capital. Being educated at
such a depth on the governmental process was an experience that not many of us

Scott Hutchinson. To the far right is Tanya Banks of Rimersburg, Pa., who also attended.
would—or will—experience
in our standard schooling.
The look into American administration was intimate, exposed through the actual participation of KGS Citizens. My
personal observation was enhanced by truly being able to
become a part of each procedure so that I had a first-hand
understanding of how my
government functions, something that ALL American citizens should make themselves
aware of.
In a world where expressing pride in American citizenship is often shunned and
mocked, my membership in
Keystone Girls State left me
bursting with joy in my nationality. I return from
Shippensburg ready and willing to reveal my encounters
with other girls my age, to
convince them of the importance of partaking in this
week-long excursion, to com-
municate the numerous benefits of being a KGS Citizen.
Scholarship eligibility and college credit are only a small
portion of what the experience of Girls State has to offer, and it is with the highest
regard for the program that I
encourage all young ladies to
contact their local American
Legion Auxiliary unit to sponsor them in the 2014 KGS
conference. I implore all girls
my age to become more involved in their dedicated duty
to America and to further advance their Patriotism. Membership of Girls State is only
the beginning of securing a
future of strong, honorable
female leadership in America.
For love of God and service of
Country, I most strongly urge
all young women to invest in
what Keystone Girls State has
to offer.

DOUBLE
DRIVEL
Into The
Outdoors
With Dick and Mike
Dick’s Thoughts
So far this season the Pirates have the worst production of
any National League team out of their right fielders. Fans are
clamoring for the Bucs to make a move, but many of the
suggested pickups would take a boat load of their top prospects. One fix might come out of their AAA team. Andrew
Lambo was acquired a few years ago in the Octavio Dotel
trade from the Dodgers. He was one of their top prospects
but has done very little for the Bucs until this year. Lambo so
far this year between AA and AAA has belted 21 home runs
and driven in 67 runs. I am not sure Tabata and Snider could
put up those kind of numbers combined.
Jeff Locke is currently 8 and 1 and would probably be a
strong candidate for Rookie of the Year, but Locke is ineligible as he pitched 1 inning too many last year to qualify.
It was nice to see Brandon Inge on the Pirates bench the
other night with contact lenses that look like cat eyes. Is this
what a veteran’s presence is on the bench? Do you think an
old school manager would put up with this, along with the
fact he has produced next to nothing this year?
When the Penguins lost out in the Stanley Cup playoffs one
of the biggest complaints against the team was that they were
getting too old. So far in this off season they have signed up
almost all of last year’s team. Either the management doesn’t
get it or the fans and so called network experts are wrong.
Congratulations to Joey Chestnut for winning his 7th consecutive hot dog eating championship. In winning Chestnut
broke the world record with 69 dogs consumed in 10 minutes. No one dominates a sport like Chestnut does the hot
dog world. Since 2008 Chestnut has eaten more hot dogs in
competition (380) than the Houston Astros have wins (377).
Thought of the week: People will forget what you say,
people will forget what you do, but people will never forget
how you make them feel.

Wisdom Doesn’t Always Wear A Suit
Jerry Costello for The Christophers
By
Chris Henderson
Wow! Talk about a heat wave. For the last week or so,
when it hasn’t been raining, it has been brutally hot and humid. Hopefully, by the time you read this, we’ll have gotten a
break. Even if we do, you can be certain that there will be
more to come. In fact, it’s not even really “the height of summer,” as Bob Seger called it, yet. This week, let’s take a little
look at hot weather, and how to enjoy yourself outdoors
safely in it.
Although I’ve often heard that you can’t catch fish during a
hot spell, my experience over the course of many years is that
the aforementioned supposition is incorrect. You can still
catch fish, in fact, a lot of them, but it’s only going to happen
in the very early morning or at night. If you’re on the water
just at daylight, you can have some great action until the sun
gets bright and things start to heat up. For whatever reason,
evening fishing has never been all that good to me in the heat,
but things turn back on at night. About the only real possibility in the heat of the day is to fish the deepest areas to which
you have access. Even there, the action is often on the slow
side.
Personally, I always take along a cooler chest with ice in it
when fishing in the heat. Fish on a stringer near the surface
will go bad very quickly. Icing them down is really the only
way to go. Also, when you get them home, clean them right
away and get them under refrigeration.
Oh, here’s another thing. If you are fishing with worms, the
cooler is a pretty good place to keep them as well. It’s incredible how fast worms can die when the heat is on, and the first
thing you know, you have no bait. To top it off, that smell is
one that you can certainly do without.
If you somehow wind up out in the heat of the day, you
must take a few steps to protect yourself. Priority number
one is sunscreen. Unless you want to fry, and risk serious
complications besides, apply sunscreen to all exposed skin.
Be sure to clean it off your hands before handling lures and
baits, as there is the possibility that the smell could spook the
fish. A good hat, with a wide brim, is yet another essential.
Some time ago, my wife bought me a Sun Tamer. It is made
of a plastic-like material and has a wide brim. I don’t know if
they are still made, but it is a great hat.
Any time you’re out in intense heat, whether you are fishing, hiking, golfing or whatever, drinking sufficient liquids is
an absolute must. Drinks containing alcohol or caffeine
should be avoided. Mineral enhanced drinks, such as
Gatorade, are good, but, for my money, it’s hard to beat plain
old water. Dehydration is a very real danger. In fact, it’s what
caused me to pass out for the only time in my life. It was a
number of years. I was jogging in ninety plus degree weather.
Suddenly, my knees felt weak and I became extremely
lightheaded. It all happened in literally a few seconds. The
next thing I knew, I was waking up in the middle of the road.
It’s a good thing no cars were coming. That incident really
got my attention, and now I’m very careful to avoid this problem.
Hot weather is nothing to fear. It does, however, demand
that the proper precautions be taken in order to avoid serious
trouble.

“The one overriding theme
I found is that wisdom doesn’t
always wear a suit.”
Considering that NBC
News correspondent Bob
Dotson has traveled more
than four million miles during
his 40-year career covering
American stories, you can
trust that he knows what he’s
talking about. In fact, his
“American Story” segments
have won a record six Edward R. Murrow Awards for
the best-told news stories on
television. He’s now sharing
many of those stories in the
New York Times best-selling
book, “American Story: A
Lifetime Search for Ordinary
People Doing Extraordinary
Things.”
During an interview with
me on Christopher Closeup,
Dotson explained his positive
approach to journalism in an
industry that often makes you
feel like the world is going to
hell because it’s filled with
unsolvable problems.
He said, “You turn on TV
these days and [always see]
celebrity experts—and you
wonder when they have time
to actually learn about anything because they’re always
on TV. Our media is a mirror
that reflects the powerful and
the popular culture…But I
thought, ‘Why don’t we prop
up the mirror and look in the
shadows because maybe
Uncle Henry or Aunt Mary or
Great Grandpa has already
solved this problem?’…If
we’ve gone several generations now where we just assume that the only people
who have answers or solutions are people who are in
power, then we’re overlooking people who may have already solved the challenges
we still face.”
One case in point is Jack
McConnell, a doctor who retired to Hilton Head Island,
South Carolina. During a conversation with one of the
island’s 6,000 working poor,
Dr. McConnell discovered
that most of them couldn’t afford medical care, so they
would go to the hospital
emergency room whenever
they were sick. The physician
knew that ER visits were the
most expensive way to administer medical treatment.
It was fine if you broke a leg,
but inefficient if you just
needed a basic check-up or
preventive care.
Dr. McConnell asked his fellow retired doctors, “Why
don’t we open up a clinic and
volunteer?” Their initial response was that they had gotten out from under burdensome insurance costs and
didn’t want to open themselves up to lawsuits.
Dotson described what
happened next: “[Jack
McConnell] realized that almost every state in the union
has what they call a Good Samaritan law. That means if
you or I had a traffic accident
and we’re lying on the side of
the road and a doctor
stopped to help, you could
not then turn around and sue
the doctor for helping you.
So Jack went to the South
Carolina legislature and said,
‘You could extend the theory
of this to volunteer clinics because all we’re going to be
doing is giving out flu shots
and making sure kids have
glasses, that sort of thing.’ So
he got it passed. He ended up
getting 40 or 50 doctors to
start this clinic…Today, they
have free clinics like that in 44
states because of what Jack
McConnell figured out. That’s
the whole point of the book.
You don’t have to wait to become the American Cancer
Society to do something; you
could just do it.”
There’s no doubt Dr. Jack
McConnell is living out the
Christopher
message,
whether he’s aware of it or
not. By sharing his story and
many others, Bob Dotson is
doing the same thing. I’ll have
more of Dotson’s “American
stories” in my next column,
including details about the
childhood illness that helped
inspire his positive, determined attitude.

Reversing
Anesthetic Numbness
While patients are usually
grateful that local anesthesia
blocks the pain that they
might otherwise feel as a result of removing tooth decay with a dental drill, many
dislike the discomfort associated with lingering numbness after they leave the office. Fortunately, there is
something that can be done
about this inconvenience.
OraVerse is an injectable
drug
(phentolamine
mesylate) that reverses the
effects of local anesthetic
and allows patients to expe-
rience normal sensation in
their lips and tongues about
twice as fast as they normally would. As a result, patients can smile, speak and
drink sooner. OraVerse is
not recommended for use in
children under 6 years of
age or weighing less than 33
lbs.
P.S. The administration of
OraVerse does not hurt
since it is injected into a part
of the mouth that is already
numb from anesthetic.

Community Day Returns to Parker
Phontos and story by CJ Grant
With a lot of organization and
participation from the local citizens and businesses in Parker,
Community Day once again returned to the smallest city in the
United States. The event took
place on June 29, and after days
of soaking rain, the weather gods
blessed the community with only
light precipitation on the day of
the big celebration.
In spite of the dark clouds and
occasional passing light shower,
the day proved to be a huge success. From the early morning
hours, yard sales opened all
around the city and the park began to transform into a incredible
little carnival with games, concession stands, and contagious
smiles from the children and
adults that came out to celebrate.
It required many people working together to raise funds for the
event and to organize the memorable day, the community of
Parker should receive special
praise for all the hard work and
donations it required to pull it all
off successfully.
The planning took months, and
the day before the event, volunteers were out gathering frogs
for one of the main events, the
frog-jumping contest. Everyone
was a winner that participated in
the contest at 11:00 A.M. and the
biggest winners were the people
gathered around to witness the
spectacle of the children as they
spurred on their frogs for the biggest jump.
At noon, the huge sawdust pile
of coins opened and the children
began digging for the elusive
coins buried deep in the depths.
Once again, everyone came up a
winner as the children’s excitement and smiles warmed the
hearts of all that witnessed the
cute spectacle. The community
sponsored this event by placing
donation cans at various local
businesses to provide the rewards for the children’s digging
efforts.
During all these events, Jeremy Brant rocked the tunes
throughout the city park as the
children participated in karaoke.
Some of their voices were spectacular too. At 7 o’clock P.M, the
band, Mancave Music Corp
added to the great sounds of
laughter that encompassed the
city park with their amazing renditions of popular music.
While the children were playing in the park, the adults started
gathering at the Parker Volunteer
Fire Department to participate in
their huge bingo party excited to
win the many Chinese auction
prizes and the grand prize bingo
of $1000.00. In the end, almost
everyone left as a winner with
over 80 prizes given away at the
Chinese Auction. All the proceeds from this event went to the
Parker City Volunteer Fire Department.
With only a brief sprinkle to
interrupt the day, the celebration
continued non-stop as children of
all ages enjoyed the Jungle
Bouncy House, the Velcro Wall,
the large Bouncy House, and the
mechanical bull provided by
Jones Party Magic. The bouncing, throwing, and riding continued until almost dusk when everyone began to anticipate the
grand fireworks display.
Dark clouds and thunder
started to roll in at this time, and
the biggest question on
everyone’s mind was, “Will they
cancel the fireworks because of
rain?” In the end, nothing
stopped the enormous display as
dark settled over the small city.
Blasts and colors rang out over
the river and everyone that witnessed the light show raved on
how outstanding the display
turned out.
Nothing would have turned out
though without a lot of organization and donation from the community. Throughout the year,
The Parker VFW, Riverstone
Nightclub, and The Parker House
Hotel held events to pay for the
games and rides at the park. The
local business also placed donation cans around and special
thanks goes out to all that contributed and made the festival
possible. The Parker VFW contributed the funds necessary for
the fireworks. In addition, Clarion
Rod and Gun Club donated
$1000 to the day and Universal
Forest Products also donated
$1000 to make the event the success it was. There were many
anonymous donors too and
Parker City sends a special thanks
to them.
PASCO, a non-profit organization in Parker City went to extraordinary lengths to help organize and pay the vendors along
with The Parker Recreation Community. Without their hard work
and dedication, this event would
not have come to fruition.
There was a 50/50 contest too
in order to raise money for next
year’s community day and Tracy
Carpenter and Kevin Fulmer won
$255.00 from this drawing. If you
did not buy your T-shirts for the
day, they are still available at the
Riverstone Lounge and Grill. All
the proceeds from the T-shirt
sales goes towards next year’s
community days. In addition,
there will be a wrap-up party at
the Riverstone Lounge and Grill
on July 10 at 5:30. This meeting is
open to all, and if you have ideas
to help improve the community
days for next year, please come
out and join us.

OBITUARIES
Dorothy Smith
Dorothy Smith, age 99,
passed away on July 4 , 2013.
She lived for the past 7 years
in Tavares, FL with her daughter, Judy Miller. She was a
mother, grandmother, aunt,
cousin, teacher, baker of
breads and rolls, a bargain
hunter and Bingo player.
Watching the game shows on
TV and completing the Find
A Word puzzle were favorite
pastimes. She was a lover of
life and enjoyed it to the fullest with a healthy outlook.
Her husband, John, passed
away in 1981. When asked
why she never had another
man, she would reply, “I had
the best loving man in the
world; besides, if you have a
man, you have to feed him.”
Her sense of humor never left
her.
She was born on December
10, 1913 to William and
Blanche Shaffer. They lived in
the Boyers area where William Shaffer was a coal miner.
In 1916 he went to work in
the steel mills in Ellwood City.
The family moved to Ellwood
City, but William passed away
in 1918 after he contracted
the flu. Her mother, Blanche,
moved the children back to
Boyers.
Dorothy attended one
room school houses, Rock
and Pisgah. Then she went to
Eau Claire High School and
graduated in 1932 in a class
of ten. There was no transportation provided, so she
walked the four miles each
way. Following high school
graduation, she worked at
various homes as caretaker
for children and doing domestic work. She decided to
go to college and become a
teacher. She started teaching
in 1938, at Goff School, in
Venago Township, in a one
room school house. She
taught all grades at Goff,
Rock, Seaton and Cochran
schools. the one room
schools were being closed and
Dorothy was ready for a new
phase of life.
During those long eight
mile walks to and from high
school, she met the love of her
life, John A. Smith of Hilliards.
He worked in the coal mines,
but he had a car. He started
driving her to and from
school and their destiny was
sealed. They were married
June 28, 1941. They had two
daughters, Phyllis Smith
(Ford) and Judy Smith
(Miller). Dorothy stayed
home during the early 1950’s
to raise the girls but she returned to teaching with the
Moniteau School District at
Lone Tree School. At this time
a four year Bachelor’s degree
was required. She went to college during summers and
graduated with her degree in
the mid 1960’s from Slippery
Rock State University. After
Lone Tree closed, she taught
at Washington Elementary.
She retired in 1979 after 31
years of teaching from the
Moniteau School District.
Following the death (2006)
of her oldest daughter, Phyllis,
she moved to Florida to live
with Judy. She spent 7 wonderful years living the typical
retired life in Florida by visit-

in the sun.

of St. Alphonsus Catholic

lector and volunteer for
church dinners and activities.
She was a member of St.
Peter’s Catholic Church in

God bless Dorothy and welcome her home.
To Those I Love
When I am gone, just release
me, let me go so I can move
into my afterglow.
You mustn’t tie me down with
your tears; let’s be happy
that we had so many years.
I gave you my love, you can
only guess how much you
gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you
each have shown, but now
it is time I traveled on alone.
So grieve for me awhile, if
grieve you must, then let
your grief be comforted with
trust.
It’s only for a while that we
must part, so bless the
memories within your heart.
And then, when you must
come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and
a “Welcome Home.”
