St. Michael’s Parishioner Nick Cirell
Is Ordained to the Diaconate
On May 29, St. Michael
the Archangel Church’s
Nicholas “Nick” Cirell and
13 other men were ordained to the permanent
diaconate during a Mass at
St. Peter Cathedral in downtown Erie. They represent
the largest class of permanent deacons in the history
of the diocese.
The permanent diaconate
was reestablished in the
Diocese of Erie at the direction of Bishop Trautman
with its first formation program in 1992. Deacon Cirell
began his faith formation to
the diaconate in 2010.
More than forty St.
Michael’s parishioners attended the ordination. The
ordination, described by
those attending, was both
beautiful and very joyful.
Nick’s wife Elisa, was also
a participant in her husbands faith formation.
Wive’s play an important
role in the process. Married
candidates need their wive’s
support throughout their
formation.
Following ordination deacons are assigned by the
bishop to a parish where
they can exercise their
diaconal ministry. Plus they
are given a diocesan ministry of service based on their
talents and pastoral needs
of the people of God in the
diocese.
The
following

ordination class, with their
wives (if applicable), and

DOUBLE
DRIVEL
Into The
Outdoors
By: Tony Rossi, Director of Communications, The Christophers
With Dick and Mike
By Chris Henderson
Mike’s Commentary
Commentary: For the 1st time in 37 years, I
can’t announce that the last winner of Horse Racing’s
Triple Crown was Affirmed. Although the 1978 battle that
saw all 3 races go down to the wire with Affirmed edging
out Alydar in each one will always hold a special place in
my heart, the 2015 race for the Triple Crown has landed
a new sheriff in town. In what has become one of the
toughest feats in sports, American Pharoah beat the odds
to claim the title of 2015 Triple Crown Winner. One has
to wonder if it will be 37 years before we get to witness
horse racing history again.
—If you haven’t made it out to a little league baseball or
softball game yet this year, do so soon. We are now in the
latter half of the season and there are kids from each
community giving it their all in the sport that is America’s
favorite pastime.
—The Pirates are playing much better baseball now
that we have entered June. However, catching the Cardinals will be a tall order. It seems like every time that the
Pirates win, so does St. Louis.
Dick’s Thoughts- One hot rumor has the Pirates getting
pitcher Cole Hamels from the Phillies for Gregory Polanco
and prospects. I hope this never materializes. The Pirates
farm system is good but there are no outfielders there with
close the potential Polanco possesses. If the Bucs do make a
trade I would rather see a hitter as in playoff series I would
take my chances with Cole, Liriano, Burnett, and Morton.
After the first 2 games of the NBA Finals LeBron James had
as many assists and rebounds as Michael Jordan had in the
1998 Finals (6 games). Through 3 games James had scored
123 points, most ever by a player in the Finals. Game 4 had
LeBron held to only 20 points and the Cavs sunk. I don’t think
you can have a fair comparison between Jordan and James as
both are terrific. But one fair comparison is the supporting
casts. Jordan ran with Scottie Pippen while James runs with a
cast similar to the guys that used to play old mens basketball
at the high school on Monday nights.
The NCAA has made a couple of rules changes for next
season in basketball. The 35 second shot clock has been reduced to 30 seconds. Now Pitt fans will only have to watch 30
seconds of passing and dribbling before a horrible shot is
hoisted. Also timeouts have been reduced from 5 to 4 per
game so the last 2 minutes should be completed in less than a
half hour.
Great news for curling fans as the 2018 Olympic games will
now have mixed doubles curling.
First North Carolina got busted for academic improprieties
and now Texas is under investigation. Does anyone really
think that this does not go on at most universities? With the
millions and millions of dollars these programs deal with I
find it hard to believe that it is not common practice.
Sad to note the passing of Dusty Rhodes one of the greatest
wrestlers of our era.
Thought of the week: Everyone needs a poker face. Revealing everything to everyone isn’t honesty, it is foolishness.

I know that I have written a lot about birds recently, but this
seems to be an exceptionally good year for observing our
feathered friends. One of these is the rose breasted grosbeak.
I have to think that God was in a good mood when he made
the male of this species, as they are so beautiful. They are
among the latest to arrive and the earliest to leave our area.
Up until this year, I considered myself lucky to see the occasional grosbeak at our backyard feeders. For whatever reason, this year is an exception. I see them almost daily, both
males and females. My pastor, Father John Butler, has actually seen flocks of both males and females at his feeder. The
females lack the colors of the males, but the large beak still
makes them fairly easy to identify. Any time you see one of
these birds, especially the males, it just has to brighten up
your day. The female is harder to identify, as she is colored
much like a sparrow, but if you get the chance to look closely,
the large (gros in German) beak is clearly visible. They make
a cup like nest. Both the male and female care for the nest,
and the male often sings softly while doing his parenting duties.
This has also been a good year for woodpeckers. In fact, a
pileated woodpecker visited our feeder recently. This was a
real treat, as these large birds are, for the most part, creatures
of the deep woods. In the past week, I have also sighted a
northern flicker and a red headed woodpecker in the backyard. I know that most woodpeckers have red heads, but
there is one that actually claims the title.
On another front, Saturday, June 13th, marks the general
opening of bass season here in the Keystone State. Some of
the regulations are pretty complicated, so be sure to read
your manual before heading out, so that you can stay out of
trouble. We are fortunate in this area to live close to some of
the best bass fishing in the state. Lake Arthur and Kahle Lake
both contain good populations of some truly big largemouth
bass. The Allegheny and Clarion rivers offer excellent fishing
for smallmouth bass, or “bronzebacks.” This week, let’s focus on the smallmouth. Pound for pound, it could be argued
that the smallmouth bass is the best fighting and most sporting of all freshwater gamefish. Even if you hook a tiny one, it
nearly always jumps a time or two. They’re pure fight.
Just like their lake-dwelling cousins, river bass are very structure oriented. The rocky shorelines of the Allegheny offer
lots of great places for smallmouths to hide and ambush prey.
Boat docks can be very productive, too, although they usually
can’t equal the rocky areas. The best times to fish are early
morning, late evening and night. When the sun gets bright,
the fish head for the deep water in the middle of the river,
where they’re much harder to find and catch. During these
times, however, you can still pick up some fish around such
structures as mid-river bridge piers, where the water is fairly
deep.
As kids, my friends and I did virtually all of our fishing, for
any species, with live bait, and it’s still my favorite today.
Small to medium-sized minnows are great. So are
nightcrawlers. Hook the minnows through the lips. With
crawlers, bunch them up on the hook with a trailer left behind. Use as little added weight as possible for adequate casting. When I can, I fish with no sinker at all. That way, when
you cast into the rocky shallows, you don’t spook the fish, and
you don’t have the problem of your sinker getting hung up
on the rocks.
As anyone who has ever used them can attest, the soft
shelled crayfish is probably the best bait there is for taking
river smallies. For some reason, fish just can’t seem to resist
them. Unfortunately, they’re rather hard to catch and expensive to buy, and every other fish in the river likes them, too.
It’s pretty frustrating to feed such bait to rock bass and small
catfish.
Bass fishing on a river is one of the greatest things about
summer. Get out there and get ‘em.

A few months ago in this
column, I shared a story
about a subway ride to
work during which the
conductor asked everyone to smile and be more
friendly to the strangers
we encounter every day.
Well, today I’ve got another subway story, this
one having to do with
evangelization.
It started when a man
stepped onto the train and
asked for everyone’s attention.
When
you’re
jammed into a subway
early in the morning, this
kind of greeting usually
results in sighs of exasperation—mine included.
But this time was different.
Here’s the gist of what
this man had to say: “I’m
not here to ask for money
so relax. I’m just here to
share a bit of news. I was
originally at the L train station but it wasn’t running
so I made my way over
here. On the way, I kept
telling people I passed that
the L train wasn’t running,
but they all just ignored
me. Another passerby
asked me why I was telling everybody about the
train when they were ignoring me. I told him that
I’m just responsible for
passing
on
the
message. What
other
people choose to do with
it is up to them. But
spreading the message is
on me. So let me tell you
this
message
this
morning. God
loves
you. We need to look out
for each other and be our
brother’s keeper. Let kids
and the elderly have a seat
on the train. Consider
what God wants you to
do.”
Then he got off the
train. I’ve heard many a
preacher on New York
subways. They
often
adopt scolding tones or
yell about repentance and
sin. They hammer you
over the head with the
message that you have to
accept Jesus, but I often
find they do it in such a
way that it’s more likely to
drive people away from
Jesus.
On the other hand, you
have this man who got
people’s attention, then
started with a story and
point that were non-religious and that most
people could understand
and relate to. He met
people where they were
at, not from some lofty religious height that morning commuters might automatically
shut
out. Finally, he brought
God into his message in a
positive, loving way—asking people to perform
some concrete action and
give a little thought to
what God wants from
them. And then he left.
It was the first time I remember liking a “subway
preacher” and I wonder if
his approach was more effective than most of the
people who do this. It
was a “soft sell,” so to
speak.
That’s not to say that the
message of repentance
isn’t important, but when
you’re standing on a
crowded subway early in
the morning, you’re already a little aggravated.
Some stranger coming in
and yelling that you’re a
sinner is likely to just
make you more aggravated. But when a man
comes in speaking confidently yet humbly that
God loves you, that message might linger. It might
be one of those scattered
seeds that falls on fertile
ground and slowly takes
root over time.
It’s an approach that The
Christophers have been
using successfully for 70
years by highlighting the
concept, “It’s better to
light one candle than to
curse the darkness.” And
it’s an approach all of us
should remember if we’re
given opportunities to
share our faith. Start with,
“God loves you,” and let
Him lead you from there.

July Meeting: Tuesday, July 21, 2015 – 6:00 PM
River Valley Land Group is a collaboration between River Valley Energy and US Mineral Rights.
RVE has advocated for local landowners leasing interests for the past 5 years in negotiations
with SWEPI, Chevron, and Halcon, among others. There is clear evidence that landowners
joining together achieve higher bonuses, better share of royalties, and more landowner friendly
leases. Trips to local courthouses show recorded leases, that have the best terms and
addendums, are those through landowner groups.
RVE realizes this effort demands an experienced partner in achieving goals of maximum lease
value and protection to you, the landowner. That is why RVE selected US Mineral Rights, based
in Gibsonia, PA to manage and direct our future efforts.
River Valley Energy wants to share the US Mineral Rights story with area landowners. We invite
you to join us for our June meeting Tuesday, June 23rd at 6:00 PM at the Reminisce Center, on
Routes 38 and 208, (3 miles east of Emlenton), just off I-80, Exit 45. Thank you, Drew Orient
and Curtis Hovis founding members of RVE.

Letters To The Editors
Dave:
I enjoyed your Newspaper history article in the May 12
issue. Rasta’s son Mark (Youngstown, OH) was a contemporary of my dad, and I still have copies of reminiscing letters between them. In my time, I had known
Clarence Stewart, and Bert Wilbert (who lived in the
former Cubbison house adjoining the News office). I’m
enclosing a bit of even more ancient history copied from
my old volume which is due to be turned over to the P.J.
Museum. I have already turned over a clear-bound 1859
(pre-petroleum) copy of The Allegheny Valley Echo. I’m
enclosing copy from Venango County Histories - both
1878 and 1890.
I’m glad to see your expanding circulation, and a sign
that communities can join efforts while still keeping their
identities. Over Memorial Day weekend, our son Todd
with Roberta and me visited in town, and enjoyed a lot of
reunion.
Our visit with Art Steffee revealed the stumbling block to
completion of the Rails to Trails between Emlenton and
Foxburg. I would appreciate your giving me a few lines,
per as follows:My visit to the old home town was a happy
reunion, and brought to life much of what I keep abreast
of through The Progress News. I can see what an asset
the Rails to Trails project can be, and I was saddened to
understand the hold-up on the Emlenton - Foxburg leg.
Guy ‘Junior’ Shoup was an old schoolmate of mine, and
his family trucking enterprise has been an asset to the
area. It’s ironic that it is now apparently unable to permit
connection of the developing Trail route, inevitably retarding its progress.
I’ll be working through Kathy Powell’s project to help
create a drama show on Emlenton History, and I’m sure
she’ll be soliciting others, including The Progress News.

To the Editor
On behalf of the students who ride ACV School Bus 16,
I would like to thank the drivers in Scrubgrass township
for their patience and consideration during the past school
year. Because of your careful consideration of bus safety
rules, the students had a safe ride to and from school each
day. Each year has its own challenges and the winter of
2015 was no exception.
I especially want to thank the DTA-LP drivers,
Scrubgrass Generating Plant, and Scrubgrass Township
maintenance. The DTA-LP drivers are very conscientious.
Not only do they adjust their runs so they limit the time
they are on the road during bus runs, but when they do
stop for the students to board, they allow ample space
between truck and bus. By using their flashers, they also
warn other drivers of the safety situation. The Generating
Plant allows the use of their parking area as a turn around
for the bus: a much safer option than turning at the
intersection. Scrubgrass maintenance must have the best
snow removal in the area. I never had difficulty traveling
the side roads, especially off Lisbon Road. The corners
were always ashed, and even some of the stops had ashes
where the road became exceptionally slippery. I can
even give a plug to Penn-Dot too, because the Emlenton
hill was always open for travel and clear of snow.
Thanks also to the parents who had their children ready
on time. Keeping to the scheduled times ensures that
other students do not have to wait in snowy, rainy, or
very cold weather. We also get to school on time. Another
thank you to the parents who assisted with your child’s
behavior. Many of you gave me excellent advice to improve behavior on the bus.
Finally, I want to thank Hunter’s Truck Sales. You
helped keep the bus on the road and I really appreciate all
those thoughtful things you did for me.
I try to be a considerate driver, allowing cars and trucks
to pass when convenient. With everyone’s cooperation
we had a very successful school year. Enjoy your summer
and I hope to see you in August.

without purchasing any supplies. They utilized donated
fabrics as well as items repurposed from previous projects.
The students combined block and strip designs which
allowed them to make the most of the fabrics they had on
hand. “Strip quilting” has recently become more popular
due to its economical use of leftover fabric “strips” or
pieces.
The students invested many hours to create the quilts
and were quite pleased with their accomplishments.
Upon completion of the quilts, the class hosted a reception at the school for family and community members to
view their handiwork. The students presented during
this reception regarding what they learned throughout
this unit. This was followed by a visit to the Parker
Personal Care Home to donate the quilts to the residents
and to spend time with them. The class also served
refreshments they had prepared. This culminating activity was a highlight to the unit as it allowed the students to
see the joy their projects brought to the recipients.
Pictured at left are ACV students with some of the Personal Care Home residents.

The Outdoorsman
Fathers who love the great
outdoors might appreciate
some new camping gear, a
new fishing pole or even
some comfortable hiking
boots. When shopping for
the outdoorsman in your life,
consider which outdoor activity is his favorite (i.e., boating, fishing, kayaking, etc.)
and try to find the latest useful
gadget or newest product
made for such enthusiasts. If
you don’t share the same passion for the great outdoors
and are hesitant to buy something you’re unsure about, a
gift certificate to an
outdoorsman or sporting
goods store will suffice.
The Doting Grandfather
Some men simply want to
spend more time with family,
especially grandfathers who
never tire of afternoons with
their grandchildren. If dad has
retired and moved away, a
trip to see his grandkids might
make the ideal gift this
FatherÕs Day. Arrange the
dates with mom so you are
not surprising dad with a trip
at a time when he already has
plans, and make sure to
schedule some fun activities
for those days when dad is in
town.
Father’s Day is a time each
year when dads are told how
much they are loved and appreciated. This year, a gift that
implies both those sentiments
is sure to make dad smile.

Don Lewis Likes To Make A Difference With $50,000 YMCA Gift
CLARION-Don Lewis is a
person who likes to make a
difference.
His decision to make a
personal
donation
of
$50,000 for a new full-service Clarion County YMCA
was made with the knowledge that new YMCA is
close to becoming a reality
through the diligence of
planning and community
support of such a project.
“The gift is a stretch for
me and I will be making
pledge payments over the
years, but I wanted to contribute and a level where I
know I can make a difference,” said Lewis. “I was
impressed with the need for
such a facility in Clarion
County and the planning
that has guided the project.”
Lewis is no stranger to
making a difference in
Clarion County, from being
one of the founders of Structural Modulars, Inc. (SMI) to
serving on a number of
boards such as the
Workforce
Investment
Board to being a past recipient of the Clarion Area
Chamber Citizen of the Year
Award.
“I really didn’t want any
publicity about my donation, but if it can help the
campaign, so be it,” said
Lewis. “No one person can
make the campaign a success, but if we do it as a
group we can build a fullservice YMCA.”
Milissa Bauer and Al
Lander, co-chairs of the
Campaign Cabinet said
their initial contacts with
Lewis were to keep him in-

Don Lewis (second from left) is one person who likes to make a difference in his
community. Welcoming his $50,000 donation to the new Clarion County YMCA are
Al Lander and Milissa Bauer, campaign cabinet co-chairs, and Jesse Kelley, Clarion
County YMCA branch manager.
formed about the project
and the more he learned,
the more interested he became.
“We are now in the process of meeting with community leaders and local
business owners like Don
Lewis to let them know
about our project and why
it is being so well received,”
said Bauer and Lander.
The $8.1 million full-service Clarion County YMCA
will be located near Exit 62
of I-80 and the Clarion Oaks
Golf Course.
The campaign’s silent
phase raised over $5.4 million (almost 70 percent)
from lead gifts and commitments by a small group of
key individuals, including
more than $600,000 in
pledges from the local
YMCA Board.
“A community campaign
for the remaining $2.7 million launched a little over
one month ago has now
raised nearly $800,000,
mostly from local community leaders,” said Bauer and
Lander.
The project is now almost
80 percent funded towards
its goal. The new building,
among other facilities, will
bring access to a swimming/therapy pool and
other year-round recreation
activities. The YMCA is a
not-for-profit 501(c) 3 entity.
We would like to Thank Everyone
at Otto’s Tavern for Their Efforts
in Raising $5,800.00 for us on
Saturday, June 6th.
Over the past 7 years,
they have donated over $20,000
to our Organization.
Thank You to the many, many
people who came out and
participated and bought tickets
over the past several weeks.
A special Thank You to
Nadine for her guidance and extra
effort along the way!
