Teenager Celebrates Her Love for Animals and
Veterans with Her Sweet 16 Birthday Party
Veronica Bartoe turned 16
on Veteran’s Day 2014 and
asked her guests to bring a
monetary donation for
PETS-FOR-VETS or items for
THE ANNA SHELTER in
Erie, instead of birthday presents. THE ANNA SHELTER
is one of only three approved animal shelters that
have teamed up with PETSFOR-VETS. PETS-FOR-VETS
is an organization dedicated
to providing a second
chance for shelter pets by
rescuing, training and pairing them with America’s
veterans who can benefit
from a companion animal.
Sadly, there are alarming
statistics of suicide, family
abuse and Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder facing veterans returning to civilian life
after military duty. It’s PETSFOR-VETS belief that companion animals can be the
lifesaving therapy or friend
that many returning service
men and women need.
PETS-FOR-VETS team members from THE ANNA SHELTER interviews each veteran to determine exactly
what he or she is looking
for in a companion animal.
They are paired with his or
her personality and lifestyle
to make the perfect pet/veteran match.
Veronica is from Rimersburg, PA and a sophomore
at Union High School in
Clarion County. Bartoe said,
Veronica with all the items she collected for The Anna
Shelter and her two of three dogs, Angel on her lap and
Lucy under the table, both rescue dogs.
“My sisters and I have all
picked a charity to celebrate
our sweet 16, and they all
have something to do with
our military veterans. I
picked PETS-FOR-VETS because I love animals and respect Veterans, so it was a
win-win for me.” Veronica
received birthday presents,
gas cards, gifts cards and
$425.00 cash to be donated

All are welcome as families and neighbors will stroll
along the street and meet
Santa and Mrs. Clause. Children will be treated to a
reading of “Twas the Night
Before Christmas”, facepainting, ornament-decorating and a bon-fire over
which they can make
s’mores. Various foods will
be available for purchase, as
well as 2014 “Light-Up
Night”-themed apparel and
more. Other highlights will
be performances by “Miss
Butler County”, Becca Bly,
MAJOR
Karns City District students,
carolers and other local talent. A seasonal movie will
be showing through-out the
evening and a familyfriendly dance will follow
the events, inside the Moose

DOUBLE
DRIVEL
With Dick and Mike
Mike’s Commentary: It seems that Ben Roethlisberger
has been setting an NFL record almost weekly anymore. First,
he became the only man in NFL history to throw for 500+
yards in a game twice in his career. Then he threw for 6
touchdown passes in consecutive games. And then there was
last week. Big Ben and Tennessee Titans quarterback Zach
Mettenberger set the record for the most letters in the starting
quarterbacks last names in any one game in NFL history.
Roethlisberger and Mettenberger combined for 26 letters.
This one may be in the record book for years to come.

Dicks Thoughts Congratulations to the Karns City Gremlin football squad
for capturing yet another District 9 football championship.
The KSAC recently released their football all-conference
team. Selected to the team in the small school dvision were
Evan Redding of AC Valley, Tyler Beal, Jake Weaver, Zach
Stiglitz, and Bryce Altman of Keystone. Union was well represented with Brett Kriebel, Chet Carmichael, Cole Morris,
Dugan Gallagher, and Tyler Wiser all being honored.
The large school was led by Karns City’s Cody Deal the
Defensive MVP and Josh McBride of Moniteau who was honored as the Offensive MVP. KC was also represented by Dalton
Callihan, Tyler Dunn, Logan Moroney, Christian Turner,
Tristan Rhodes, Brendan Waltman, and Reese Barger.
Moniteau honorees were Brendon Stamm, Cody Skiver, and
Shonn Kline.
If Russell Martin got a 5 year $82 million contract from
Toronto, good for him. If the Pirates offered Martin 3 years
for $48 million, good for them. Martin made out great and the
Pirates did all they could.
If the Steelers don’t make the playoffs a finger could certainly pointed at General Manager Kevin Colbert and his off
season free agent signings. Colbert gave us running back
LeGarrette Blount (266 yards, 1 AWOL during a game, and 1
arrest), wide receiver Lance Moore (11 receptions), wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (3 receptions), nose tackle Cam
Thomas (9 tackles and usually spends more time in the secondary than some of the defensive backs), and safety Mike
Mitchell ( referred to as burnt toast).
The good news for the Steelers after losing to bottom feeders Tampa Bay and the Jets, and surviving the Jaguars and
Titans the Raiders are not on their schedule.
1% of the 7 million high school athletes in the USA get full
rides to colleges. Sometimes we don’t realize how good you
have to be to compete at the collegiate level.
Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon recently rushed for
408 yards in 3 quarters versus Nebraska. Through 10 games
the entire Wake Forest football team has 341 yards rushing.

Dick’s Picks
PITT @ Miami: The Hurricanes should roll the Panthers in
this one. The Canes gave FSU a pretty good battle and Pitt can
look forward to spring ball. This one might get out of hand
quickly. Miami 44 Pitt 14
Michigan State @ PENN STATE: MSU has looked good beating teams without a pulse. OSU beat them every way possible. PSU could have beaten OSU. I don’t know if the Nits
can score enough, but I think they will. PSU 17 MSU 14
New Orleans @ STEELERS: The Saints are usually good at
home and poor on the road. This year they might be better
playing on water and they are bad both home and away. With
a week and a half to get ready I think the Steelers roll. Steelers

Into The
Outdoors
By Chris Henderson
Well, by the time you read this, bear season will be pretty
much done. Since there will still be a day or two left, we’ll take
a brief look at it. Although I used to do it every year, and even
once made a trip to Canada, I haven’t done any bear hunting
in a good many years. One time, the question occurred to
me, “What would I do with a dead bear?” The answer was, “I
don’t know.” With the exception of beaver, which I once
sampled at a wild game dinner at a local church, bear is the
worst meat I’ve ever tasted, and I’ve eaten some pretty rough
stuff over the years. It was strong, tough, greasy and left a
rather unpleasant odor lingering throughout the house. Further, I have neither the financial resources nor the space in the
house for a full body mount or a rug. On top of all of that,
dragging a large one out of the woods could be a real nightmare. While I certainly have no objection to bear hunting,
and wish all the luck in the world to those who do it, it just isn’t
for me.
Probably the most common mistake made by bear hunters
is failure to use enough gun. I know that the famous ivory
hunter “Karamojo” Bell killed countless elephants with a 7 X
57 Mauser, so I suppose any game animal could fall to just
about any gun, but there is an obligation on the part of the
hunter to make as clean a kill as he or she possibly can. I
would worry about anything less that the 30.06 class of gun.
Should I ever again decide to hunt bear, it will be with either
the 35 Whelen or 300 H & H Magnum. That is, of course,
purely a matter of personal opinion and preference.
Let’s close things out this week with a look at that most
underrated and neglected of tools, the hunting knife. With
deer season upon us, many of us will, hopefully, find occasion
to use our knives. Many of us go to great lengths to get our
other gear ready, and end up neglecting our knives. Hunting
knives, as most of us know, take two basic forms. These are
the fixed-blade knife and the folder. I don’t really see much
advantage of one over the other. It’s just a matter of what you
like best.
A cheap blade that won’t hold an edge is extremely aggravating. Also, more people cut themselves on dull knives than
sharp ones, although I’ve done a couple of pretty good numbers on myself with sharp knives, too. A moderately priced
knife by a reputable manufacturer is probably your best bet.
There’s not much point in paying a huge price for some sort
of collector grade knife if you are going to use it as a hunting
tool. The chances of damaging or losing it are just too high.
To a kid, the size of the blade is the real measure of a knife’s
value. The bigger the blade, the better. As I’ve grown older,
I find that I now favor the smallest that will easily get the job at
hand done.
Knife maintenance, while relatively simple, is still important. Here are a couple of pointers. First of all, never use a
grinder or kitchen knife sharpener on your hunting knives. A
lot of people use stones or ceramic sticks. While they are
effective, they are tedious to use. There are electric and battery powered sharpeners on the market which are geared
especially toward hunting knives. I’ve used a couple of them
to good effect. Some of today’s manual sharpeners also make
short work of restoring a dull blade. One other thing, well,
actually, two: It’s not a good idea to store a knife in a leather
sheath, as the chemicals used in making the leather can etch
the blade. Also, it’s a good idea to give the blade a light coating of oil before storing. The hinges on folders also need oiled
and cleaned.
With a bit of care, a good knife can be a lifelong, treasured
hunting companion.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Appreciate and Embrace
Life This Thanksgiving
By: Toni Rossi Director of
Communications for The Christophers
As we celebrate Thanksgiving, I can’t help but think of a TV
show I watched over the summer: season two of the documentary TV series “NY Med” (season one won a 2013 Christopher Award). In case you’re not familiar with it, producers
took cameras into New York Presbyterian Hospital and
Newark’s University Hospital. There, they acted as invisible
observers, providing a window into the perils, tensions, and
comic moments that constitute everyday life for doctors,
nurses, and patients.
So what does that have to do with Thanksgiving? Well, the
holiday’s purpose is expressing gratitude for our blessings.
But with the busyness of modern life, we sometimes need
reminders of how precious our loved ones really are. And
boy, does “NY Med” bring that truth home!
Consider the case of Chris Molnar, a 19-year-old who went
through basic training as a Marine only to come home on
leave and suffer a stroke. Doctors discovered that Molnar suffers from a severe cardiac disease that enlarged his heart to
five times its normal size. As a stopgap measure, they surgically implanted a pump that would help his heart function,
but recovery was so uncertain that doctors and the hospital
chaplain told his parents and sisters to prepare themselves
for his passing.
Though Molnar survived that incident, he was told he
needed a heart transplant in order to live. “NY Med’s” crew
followed his family’s journey, and the conflicting emotions of
this sad predicament. For instance, Molnar’s mom admitted,
“The bottom line is that somebody else has to die so that he
can live, and it feels a little selfish.”
Still, the call comes that a heart has become available, and
we get to see both the surgery itself and the family’s excruciating wait for news. Watching the Molnars pull together during this time offers a reminder that love becomes more deep
and intense when you’re threatened with its loss. Thankfully,
this story has a happy ending. Chris pulled through and is
doing well with his new heart.
Another example is the story of Rita Respass-Brown, whose
kidneys were functioning at only six percent. She would need
a transplant in order to stay alive. When her 24-year-old son
Tony heard the news, he got tested to see if his kidney would
be a match for his mom. It was a perfect match, so he told her
that he would be her donor. Rita felt reluctant because she
didn’t want Tony to make such a big sacrifice for her. But he
asked her, “Mom, what does it mean to you for someone to
give you a kidney?” Rita responded, “Life!”
Tony answered, “That’s why I’m going to give you my kidney. You gave me life—and you don’t have the right to deny
me the ability to do for you what you did for me.” The transplant went well, giving both mother and son a new appreciation for each other.
As you celebrate Thanksgiving with your family this year,
remember to look at the people you love through the eyes of
gratitude. Our culture may tell you that happiness is
grounded in great Black Friday sales. But as “NY Med” reminds us, happiness is found in much simpler, less financially
costly things: showing love to family, friends, and strangers;
seeking fulfillment in helping others; being grateful for all
your blessings; and using the pain in your life to make you a
better, more compassionate person. If you pursue those avenues in your life, with the grace of God, you’ll always have
something to be truly thankful for.

Dr. Domenick DeFRANCISIS
Sensitivity Training
If a bite of ice cream triggers tooth pain, you may be
suffering from tooth sensitivity. Although this problem
may result from a cavity,
cracked tooth, or broken filling, it is most often caused
by receded gums or worn
tooth enamel, which leaves
underlying "dentin" exposed. This second layer of
tooth tissue, which is typically pale yellow, connects
with tooth nerves that can
become irritated in response
to cold, hot, sweet or sour
drinks, pressure, or cold air.
To guard against this problem, it helps to limit intake of
acidic foods and drinks;
avoid overzealous brushing;
and treat any underlying
case of "dry mouth," since
saliva plays a critical role in
neutralizing acid and restoring minerals to teeth.
P.S. Tooth sensitivity,
which affects up to 35 percent of adults, may be caused
by nightly tooth grinding.

about $230 million a day less on
gasoline than on July 4th, and the
price continues to plummet.
In fact, according to
GasBuddy.com retail gasoline
prices on average have reached
levels not seen since 2010 as a
combination of the seasonal demand drop off, a slowing global
economy, and declining world oil
prices continue to create downward pressure.
The non-partisan, apolitical
AAA, best known for maps and
travel guides, goes so far in their
October report to make a bold
proclamation writing,
“Gas prices generally have
been less expensive than in recent years due to the dramatic
boom in North American petroleum production. U.S. refineries
have taken advantage of increased crude oil supplies to
make more gasoline. In addition,
increased domestic production
has helped insulate U.S. consumers from conflicts and instability
overseas.”
If you are an anti-drilling environmental activist, you might
want to put your fingers in your
ears and start making nonsense
sounds if someone read this report out loud to you.
The AAA attributes the development of shale oil fields in North
Dakota, Texas and around the
country for not only stabilizing
and decreasing gasoline prices,
but also for protecting our nation
from energy price shocks resulting from Middle East oil
country’s blackmailing the world
by manipulating oil availability.
In fact, the United States Energy Information Agency
(EIA) concurs
reporting,
“Record-setting liquid fuels production growth in the United
States has more than offset the
rise in unplanned global supply
disruptions over the past few
years.”
Now, on top of the rapidly
growing U.S. and Canadian production, those same OPEC
countries that historically have
ruled the market with an iron fist
have opened their oil spigots as
they need to maintain cash flow
and market share.
Oil is still a weapon in the
Middle East, but due to a private
sector led energy renaissance in
the United States and Canada, it
is not aimed at us. Instead, cash
strapped Iran is under extraordinary economic duress, while at
the same time attempting to expand their empire. The Saudis,
The Blueprint Communities
Initiative is a program sponsored
by the Federal Home Loan Bank
of Pittsburgh working in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Downtown Center. The AlleghenyClarion River Valley team is composed of community leaders from
Emlenton, Foxburg and the City
of Parker. Through this initiative
our region will benefit from longrange planning development and
funding opportunities. We are
seeking to capitalize on the recreational tourism potential of the
natural assets, attract new business creating new jobs, attract
new residents and enhance the
quality of life. The AlleghenyClarion River Valley region will
benefit from this partnership and
maximize its position as a region
for river and land adventures.
Currently the region’s team is
still in the training phase. Earlier
this year they held public meetings for input on our region’s vision statement. Work is currently underway on a draft 5-year
strategic plan for our region.
Once the draft strategic plan is
far enough along, sometime after
the New Year, another public

who are Sunni Muslim, have an
interest in stifling Shia Iran’s
rise. And lower prices have just
that effect.
Adding to the drop in worldwide oil prices is the decrease in
demand for oil amongst industrialized countries, which the U.S.
Energy Department reported was
down 200,000 barrels a day this
year compared to last.
The New York Times reports
that, “the government expects
American consumption, which
increased by nearly 500,000 barrels a day in 2013, to decline by
40,000 barrels a day this year.”
With Europe continuing in recession bordering on depression,
Japan’s stagnant economy on the
verge of another recession, and
China’s economy rapidly slowing, the drop in demand for oil
worldwide is a symptom of a potential major economic crisis.
However, this same drop in oil
prices resulting from what some
view as a glut of crude on the
market has a palliative impact on
economies around the world.
Lower energy costs put more
dollars in consumers’ and business owners’ pockets, providing
every bit as much of a stimulative
effect as lowered interest rates
or tax cuts.
A primary example of the market providing the exact remedy
that the world’s economies need.
And back in America, consumers are, according to AAA, saving, “between $5 to $15” per fillup. Providing extra cash to spend
or save as each individual
chooses, with even more savings
expected to come as the fall
turns to winter.
The only people who could
complain about an American and
indeed, worldwide, economy being bolstered by an oil boom
would be the perpetually sour
environmentalists who have a
long history of openly pining for
high priced “fossil fuels” to make
their preferred alternative energy schemes more attractive in
the marketplace.
Unfortunately, with these curmudgeons in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), some of the savings at the
pump will be eaten up by anticoal, regulation generated increased electricity costs.
Yet, somehow in spite of the
environmentalist war on real energy sources like coal, oil and
natural gas, North America is on
the verge of energy independence, insulated from the whims
of far-away dictators and free to
begin thriving due to this energy
certainty.
Rick Manning is the vice president of public policy and communications for Americans for Limited Government.
meeting will be held to share the
draft plan and get input from
community members. It is important for the community to be
involved in this process, because
it will take more than the Core
Team to implement all the elements that will be contained in
the strategic plan. The Core
Team will be looking for others to
volunteer to assist.
On December 10th, team
members will travel to Harrisburg
for the next training.

The
Progress News
Local Business Man Announces
Launch Of Land Consulting Company
Lifelong Emlenton resident, Frank
McNany, recently announced the creation
of Pine Grove Land Consulting, LLC,
“PGLC” a Land Consulting Company focused on serving the landowners of Western Pennsylvania. Frank has worked in the
oil and gas industry for almost 20 years. In
May of 2014, he resigned his Senior
Landman position with a major oil and gas
company. Upon leaving his post, Frank
expressed that he was “very grateful for
the experience and knowledge that [he]
was able to gain from working in the oil
and gas industry over the past years.”
When asked why he resigned his post, he
explained, “I felt that it was time to share
what I have learned with my neighbors.”
Frank formed PGLC in order to offer his
services to assist landowners in negotiating pipeline right of ways, leases, and other
surface use agreements. The goal is to unite
local landowners in an effort to generate
more negotiating power to better protect
their properties and to ensure they receive
the best deal. The company has retained
local legal counsel to analyze all legal issues so that the necessary protections for
PARENTS – MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
On Saturday, December 13th, the City of
Parker Department of Public Affairs & Revitalization is offering Kids’ Movie Day/Parents’ Day Out so parents can complete
their Christmas shopping without worrying about what to do with the kids.
The event will run from 10:00 a.m. –
5:00 p.m. at the Parker Fire Hall/Community Center, located at 203 N. Wayne Avenue, for children ages 3 – Grade 6. The
cost of the event is $15 per child with
lunch and popcorn provided. Snacks and
additional drinks will be available for purchase. (For children age 3—Kindergarten,
no extra charge for these items.) Age appropriate snacks will be substituted for
popcorn if requested for the little ones.
Disney and other age appropriate movies
will be shown. Additional activities will also
be offered. Event is limited to 35 children
ages 3 through Kindergarten and 65 children Grades 1 – 6.
landowners are considered. Frank explained, “not only do I want to make sure
the landowners get the best financial deals
possible, I also want to ensure that they
are legally protected by experienced oil and
gas counsel.” Strength in numbers has
never been more important than now, by
creating strong landowner groups and
having one unified voice, landowners can
be confident that they are getting the most
value. This strength can only be increased
by having an experienced leader with inside knowledge of the oil and gas industry.
Landowners that have been approached
by an oil and gas company for pipeline
right of ways, leases, or other surface use
agreements are encouraged to visit PGCL’s
website at www.pinegroveconsulting.

SUMMARY FOR PROPOSED 2015 BUDGET
On July 18, 2014, Jacque, a
male apricot toy poodle was
lost in Knox. To complicate
matters he is deaf, has poor
vision, and is 15 years old. In
spite of this, he has been seen
in and around the Knox area
and even in heavy traffic areas as he is trying to find his
way home.
People are searching as
they walk the streets. Even
total strangers are driving
around trying to get a
glimpse of or catch this poor
little lost and scared pet. Each
and every local business has
posted a flier with his picture
and employees are also looking for Jacque on their breaks
or as they travel to and from
work. Friends are helping in
every possible way they can.
Jacques has made it to
Facebook. He is also on the
sites of Clarion Pups, Clarion
Paws, and Tri County Animal
Rescue. These are all nonprofit animal rescue organizations run by volunteers
from our same wonderful
communities.
Jacque’s owners, Lou and
Rose
Kalinowsky,
of
Foxburg, have made many
new friends as they pursue
their quest of finding their
beloved pet.
If someone knows the
whereabouts of Jacque,
please contact Robin at 724659-5496. Someone may be
caring for this dog and not
knowing the owners are
awaiting its return home. If
anyone has info. please call.

Patriotism, patriotic, patriot, these select few words are
ones you may hear often. These are words we use to
describe the many people of this country. They are used
mostly around days that celebrate the triumphant endings to great wars that built our country from the ground
up. By dictionary definition, Patriotism is defined as the
love for one’s country. But as a citizen of America, it has
a meaning that runs much deeper, a meaning that invokes the thoughts of memories consumed by emotions.
It means seeing the stars and stripes soaring overhead. It
means freedom for the ones willing to take it. It means
passion for doing what you love and loving what you do.
It means devotion, as those before us and those that still
do sacrifice, not only their time, but also their lives, to
keep this place we call home, safe. We as Americans take
for granted of what this country provides and most will
never truly understand the meaning of those sacrifices.
We are lucky to have what we have, as others have not
what we have. Most Importantly this means home.
“… the state of this nation is good
the heart of this nation is sound
the spirit of this nation is strong
the faith of this nation is eternal.”
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
This is not a new meaning for us; it has progressed its
way through centuries of newfound ways of life, and
great hardships. It has seen many heroes, and many
