What an exciting idea, but

about thriving small towns is
truly amazing and simple at

Slippery Rock Area School
Board unanimously approved
a five-year contract between
the Board of School Directors
and Slippery Rock Area Education Association during their
Nov. 13 meeting.
After approving the agreement, the board received a
round of applause from teachers in attendance, who had
been working in the district
since July 1, 2005, under an
expired contract.
SREA threatened to strike
in October if both sides could
not come to an agreement,
but the school board was able
to come to a tentative contract
agreement during a meeting
with SREA before its Oct. 16
meeting.
According to the contract,
teachers will get a 3.75 percent raise in the first three
years of the contract and 3.5
percent raise in the final two
years.
According to the meeting
agenda, the school board was
going to take action on the
agreement at its next meeting
on Nov. 20, but board mem-
ber Tammy Orloski made a
motion to vote on the contract
that night. After all nine board
members voted to approve the
contract, SREA members in attendance applauded them for
taking the action one week
early.
In other school board news,
the security committee has developed a proposed plan
which would increase security
in district buildings.
The board could not discuss any of the items in the
proposal since it is an ongoing
project, but said 11 items listed for immediate action would
not cost the district any money and could be implemented
as soon as the board approved
the list.
“(Items one through 11)
have been discussed, reviewed
and recommended by building
administrators,”
president
John Bonando told fellow
board members.
Assistant superintendent
Kathy Nogay also said administrators had met with Bonando “on at least one occasion”
to discuss increasing security
measures due to recent events
of school violence in the country.
“In this district we have a
really solid crisis intervention
plan,” Nogay continued. “However, we can always do better.”

By Andrew Carranza
A retired Grove City area
pilot has given more than 700
kids free airplane ride demonstrations as part of the Experimental Aircraft Association’s
Young Eagles program, which
is designed to introduce a new
generation to the world of
flight.
Jack Thompson is among
40,000 pilots around the world
who have donated their time
to the Young Eagles program,
which was created by EAA in
1992. Thompson began taking
part in the flight program in
1994, while he was working as
a flight instructor at Grove
City Airport.
“It’s a good way of giving
something back to the aviation
community,” Thompson, 67,
said. “There is no comparison
to what the world looks like
from the ground and through
the air. It’s a different experience.”
While Thompson has flown
kids all around America, from
Port Angeles, Wash., to Baltimore, Md., he has also taken
up a large number of local
children as well, taking off
from Grove City Airport,
Greenville Airport and, most
recently, New Castle Airport.
Last Saturday, Thompson
held a Young Eagles demonstration at New Castle Airport,
taking 25 children to the sky
above.
“It
was
outstanding,”
Thompson said. “It was my
first time over there (at New
Castle Airport). I had no idea
what to expect. There could
have been as few as five kids
there, or as many as 100.”
Since Thompson does not
personally own a plane, he
rents one every time he does
the Young Eagles program.
On Saturday, he rented a
Cessna 172, his plane of
choice, from the airport from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m., although he
ended up staying until 3:30
p.m. in order for all the children to receive a ride.
“We stay until every kid
who wants to ride gets one,”
he said.
Thompson takes up a maximum of three kids per trip
since a Cessna 172 fits only
four people including the pilot.
The rides usually last from 10
to 15 minutes.
While children ages 8 to 17

have to pay $20 if they want to
go up with their kids, which
helps the pilots pay for the
plane rental.
“(The program) is an out-ofpocket expense for the pilots,”
Thompson said. “Since I have
to rent a plane, the $20 (per
parent) helps offset that.”
Even though Thompson
said he has never broken even
hosting a Young Eagles program, he tries to provide airplane rides for youngsters at
least once a month, although
it depends on how much his
budget can afford. Renting a
plane at an airport usually
costs anywhere from $80 to
$100 per hour, he said.
According to Thompson,
one of the most rewarding aspects of the Young Eagles program is seeing the excitement
on the children’s faces when
they go up in the air.
“(The program) is well received by kids,” Thompson
said. “I’ve had so many good
experiences with the kids. I always will hear them say, ‘It’s
awesome,’ which is their
phrase of choice nowadays.”
One of his favorite memories of the program occurred
four or five years ago when he
was flying out of Greenville
Airport.

him.
Among his treatment has
been taking daily antibiotics
since he was diagnosed —
shortly after his birth — but a
bone marrow transplant is his
only “earthly hope” for a cure,
the Web site states.
Jacob and his family, including his dad; and mom, Jodi;
and 1-year-old brother, Justice,
recently moved to an apartment in Cincinnati to prepare
for the transplant at Cincinnati
Children’s Hospital on Dec. 5.
The family is looking for
donations for Jacob’s care,
which will be a long and difficult process since the bone
marrow transplant involves
wiping out his current immune system.
So far, family and friends
have raised over $14,000, as
well as monthly pledges at
about $400 for the next year,
according to a letter by the
cure4treebeard team.
But they need much more.
Among ways to donate, St.
John’s Episcopal Church in
Youngstown, Ohio — where
he and the family live — set
up a tax deductible fund for
Jacob. They plan to move to
Grove City upon return, McGahey said.
The high school fundraiser
began with senior Katie Sheridan.
She saw the Browns’ Web
site and made containers to
collect money for Jacob, McGahey said.
Katie couldn’t be reached
before publication but, McGahey added, “she wrote
‘cure4treebeard’ on the containers and put them in all the
classrooms, cafeteria and office.”
Donations have ranged
from large checks from school
clubs and parents to change
from student piggy banks, she
said. The Bible Club set up a
fund to cut a check from the
donations for the Browns,
added Scott Lewis, advisor.
Money is also being raised
by Student Council, which is
selling rubber bracelets that
say “cure4treebeard” for $3
apiece, McGahey said.
Junior Richelle Edmonds,
16, proudly sported her
bracelet yesterday.
“I just think it’s a good
cause to be a part of what’s
going on,” she said.
Steve DeCaspers felt the
students’ work was phenomenal, and hoped area businesses could donate matching
funds in their honor for Jacob
— or at least treat the Bible
Club and Student Council
Nogay also said administrators in all five district buildings are now “locking down”
their buildings at all times,
something they have not done
in the past.
“We are going to a singlepoint-of-entry system in every
building,” she added. In past
years, several of the district
buildings have had multiple
points of entry for visitors entering the facilities.
“(Slippery Rock Area High
School) has 28 doors, and trying to keep them closed at all
times is going to be a task,”
Nogay continued. “We need to
do some education.”
Nogay said the district
would work on volunteer services as well, such as optional
flex time for teachers so they
could come into the buildings
early and monitor when students come in prior to when
teachers normally arrive at the
building.
“We are also looking at
more printed materials, maybe
banners and signs, to hang in
the buildings to remind students that their safety is really
their responsibility as well as
ours,” Nogay said. “If there’s
an open door, close it, if you
see somebody they don’t
know, ask them where their
badge is.”
Bonando suggested taking
action on the proposed plan
next week in order for members to thoroughly look over

Mr. Brown’s love for Jacob.

Farm Bureau wants stronger landowner liability rights
Pennsylvania Farm Bureau
members adopted policy that
calls for a legislative solution
to strengthen landowner liability rights and recognize that a
landowner is not liable for a
hunter’s actions simply because the landowner allowed
the hunter to hunt on his land.
The policy was approved as
Pennsylvania Farm Bureau
(PFB) wrapped up its 56th Annual Convention in Hershey.
Specifically, the policy
states that landowners that allow people to hunt on a farm
property not be legally respon-
Eagles
Thompson wants to
fly 300 more kids
the Brown family is claiming
in faith for Jacob: “He is like a
tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in
season and whose leaf does
not wither. Whatever he does
prospers.”
“The kids come in pretty
much every day and look at
the tree and they’re excited,”
said Jason Lee, a substitute
hired to fill in for Mr. Brown,
who is on sabbatical the rest
of the year to care for Jacob.
“They realize what’s going
on and they’re very supportive,” Lee said.
“I don’t want anyone saying
these kids don’t care,” McGahey said. “They’ve been phe-
sible for unlawful or negligent
actions committed by those
persons while hunting on the
property.
“The future of hunting on
farmland in Pennsylvania
could be in jeopardy if farmers
are held responsible for the
actions of those who hunt on
their land. The risk of financial
loss would simply be too
great, so many farmers would
likely post their land,” said
PFB president Carl T. Shaffer.
The policy comes on the
heels of a recent court ruling
in Lehigh County, where a
jury found a farmer 10 percent
liable for damages in a hunting accident, because the
farmer gave the hunter permission to use his land. The
hunter was found 90 percent
responsible.
“If farmers aren’t protected
from liability when allowing
lawsuits involving hunting on
their grounds, farmers will
close off their land to hunters.
If that happens, the farmers
and hunters both lose, because farmers will incur more
crop losses from deer and oth-

Farm Bureau is already
working with several members of the General Assembly

days, as I took kids up in the
air from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,”
Thompson said. “There was a
kid just past 8 years old who
was on one of the first flights
in the morning. After his ride
was over, he hung around the
airport all day long. Around 4
p.m., there were two other
kids left who wanted to go for
a ride. They wanted to sit next
to each other in the back seat,
so I asked the 8-year-old if he
wanted to ride in the front
seat.”
“He was so excited and said
yes,” Thompson continued.
“When we were up in the air,
I asked him if he wanted to fly
the plane. He said ‘Yes,’ and
grabbed the yoke (which controls the plane) with both
hands as hard as he could.
Then, with big eyes, he
looked at and told me that
was his lifelong dream. At 8
years old, that was his lifelong
dream.”
Most recently, he recalled
an experience with a grandmother who went up with her
husband and grandson.
“The grandmother had never been in an airplane,”
Thompson said. “After the
ride, she looked at her husband and said, ‘You can take
me to Hawaii now.’ She was
scared of airplanes, but finally
got over that fear. In the past,
she had told her husband the
only way she was going over
there was if they built a bridge
from San Francisco to Hawaii.
But now she was no longer
scared to fly.”
While Thompson has al-
all of the updates in the plan.
Other items to be presented for action next week include:
ä A curriculum revision for
the business education department to begin in the 2007-08
school year at a cost not to exceed $10,000. The board plans
to restructure some of the
courses offered in the department, add new software and
textbooks, and basically update their current curriculum.
ä The financial accounts
for high school clubs for the
2006-07 school year. Some of
the groups include Bible Club,
Class of 2008, SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions/Students Against Driving Drunk), Sewing Club,
and Knowledge Challenge
Club.
ä Approve the request of
the class of 2008 to hold the
2007 SRAHS Prom at the
SNPJ Alpine Lodge in New
Castle on April 2007. The
board also needs to make a
$500 deposit to secure the
lodge from the activity fund.
Last year’s prom was also held
at SNPJ Alpine Lodge.
ä Approve low bids for
snowplowing for Har-Mer Elementary School by Risch
Lawn & Landscape at a cost of
$73 and for Moraine Elementary School by Peffer’s at a
cost of $79.75. The district had
employed both companies in
the past.
The school board will take
action on the items at their
next meeting, which will be
held at 7 p.m. Nov. 20 in the
Slippery Rock Area Middle
School Library.
ready flown more than 700
kids, he has a self-imposed
goal of reaching 1,000 young
flyers by 2009.
“That means I’ll have to fly
100 (kids) a year in the next
three years,” Thompson said.
My average over the last 12
years has been 50 kids (per
year). I’ll have to pick up the
pace.”
He chose the year 2009 because it marks the 50th anniversary of the first pilot license he received.
According to Thompson, he
has no plans of retiring anytime soon, and he will continue to fly as long he’s healthy.
“I’ve been interested in airplanes since I was 8 years
old,” Thompson said. “I think
some people are born with an
aviation gene.”
Although his first airplane
ride was when he was 18, he
relishes being able to provide
youngsters with the opportunity of flight — even though no
one ever afforded him that
luxury as a child.
“I always hear, ‘Why should
I do it? Nobody ever did it for
me,’” Thompson said. “But for
me, that’s the reason I do it.
Because nobody did it for
me.”
Since unveiling the program in 1992, EAA has flown
more than 1.25 million kids
because of pilots like Thompson who donate their time and
money so children have the
opportunity to experience aviation first-hand and for free.

Visit with medium leaves feeling
of skepticism about skepticism
By Christina Greggs
Allied News Correspondent
A glass sliding door opened
and my name was called.
I turned to find out that the
lady calling my name wasn’t
dressed in mystic robes or
even a ceremonial cape. As
she was attired in regular
clothing, I had to ask if she
was the one I would be talking
with.
Assured she was indeed the
medium, she led me to a
small room off the side of her
porch. It was light-filled room,
painted a cheery color and
adorned with angels and
fairies. I wasn’t sure what I expected, but it wasn’t this.
She asked my name and
explained that anyone from
my family or my husband’s
family who had made the transition could “come through”
and give messages. This was
not fortune telling.
(Part of the spiritualism belief is that people don’t die, but
rather transition to another
plane of existence.)
I was asked to keep my
legs uncrossed and to have an
open mind. Having had a few
beloved family members make
the transition, I was wondering if any would come
through.
My reading lasted close to
30 minutes and I left her
house feeling skeptical about
being skeptical.
Aside from allegedly making otherworldly contact, I
learned the medium held an
advanced college degree and
had children who did the
same.
She even lectures around
the world on her role as a
medium in Lily Dale.
Needing a moment to think
things over, my friend and I
walked over to the park area
to sit and discuss the day’s
events thus far.
A labyrinth ring — a singular path maze said to give insight — was nearby and I decided
to
give
it
a
walk-through.
While walking the circle,
my friend read aloud the community’s history and directions
on how to use the maze.
In each circle, you’re supposed to meditate on a certain
aspect of a question you are
pondering. You can also run
the labyrinth in celebration.
Walking the labyrinth gave
me such a peaceful feeling, I
was almost drowsy. We consulted the map to see what we
should visit next and the
words “pet cemetery” popped
out at us.
Thinking of the frightening
Stephen King novel with the
similar name, we bravely decided to check it out.
Located off the pathway to
the Inspiration Stump is a
small area dedicated to the
pets who made the transition.
Ornate headstones and small
wooden crosses line the way.
But unlike in the novel,
everything stayed buried in
the ground (thankfully).
Next we wandered over to
the stump where during the
summer months, message
services are held.
This is where one medium
will stand near the stump and
deliver messages from the
transition to the loved ones sitting in the audience.
Having talked enough with
the departed for one day, we
checked out the shops, filled
with unique clothing and oneof-a-kind jewelry pieces before
heading over to the museum.
The museum is a small
building named after one of
the early founders of Lily
Dale.
There we learned the hotels on the property, Maplewood Hotel and Leolyn Hotel,
have kept with the Victorian
charm and don’t have telephones, televisions or air con-
ditioning.
Spirit paintings, allegedly
done by spirits while the
medium was under a trance,
adorn the walls. The museum
also showcases a collection of
tools used in the past to communicate with spirits.
Having had our fill with the
phantom world for one day,
we decided to take our leave
and returned home.
I don’t know if I made contact with those on a different
plane, but I did enjoy the atmosphere of the town and the
historic part it had in many
prominent lives.
So maybe one day soon, I
will make the journey north
again to visit the town that
talks with the dead.
If you’re interested in visiting Lily Dale, here are some
helpful tips:
ä Wear comfortable shoes.
Everything is in walking distance, and the town has several hiking trails.
ä You don’t have to visit a
medium if you would rather
enjoy the town’s atmosphere
or want to explore the history
behind the buildings. If you do
visit a medium, keep an open
mind.
ä Although medium services are available year-round,
each medium has different
available times and fees. Call
the medium of your choice directly to check.

they offer, check out their Web

Students from Karen DeLorenzo’s fifth grade class take turns throwing pies at Hillview Intermediate Center principal Dave Foley. Kids raised money to benefit Grace Community Food
Pantry in a two-week period, battling each other in Penny Wars. In Penny Wars, students
added to their class totals by bringing in pennies, but could also sabotage other classes by
bringing in nickels, dimes and quarters, which counted against the total of opposing classes. The classes that raised the most money from the third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades had
the opportunity to throw pies at their principal. Students from DeLorenzo’s class raised the
most money out of all the grades, totaling $265.23. Before the pie-throwing commenced,
Foley presented a check for $5,153.85 to Mary Kay Mattocks, food pantry treasurer.
HOLIDAY
HAPPENINGS
Allied News accepting
kids’ letters to Santa
Either kids are behaving
better these days, or Santa is
more forgiving. Either way,
his list is getting longer each
year, and Santa needs to start
earlier to fulfill the wishes of
the children. Before he can
start, he needs to know what
those wishes are.
That’s where Allied News
can help. We invite parents
and teachers to mail or bring
children’s letters to Santa to
our office, and we will print
them in the paper, just the
way the kids write them.
Santa, who is very much in
tune with current events, subscribes to Allied News, and he
anxiously awaits the issues
with the children’s letters. He
especially enjoys letters with
lots of artwork.
The letters will be printed
Dec. 16 and 20. Some may be
printed as late as Dec. 23, but
don’t worry — Santa will still
get them in time for Christmas. The deadline to submit
letters is 5 p.m. Dec. 13. Bring
them to the office at 201A Erie
St., Grove City, or mail them

Universal answer
to sin is Jesus
November series: Sin
There are many words today that are off limits in our
culture. One of those words is
“sin.”
Although it is the headline
of most news stories, the subject of most television shows
and is evident around us and
even in us — we simply don’t
want to admit it exists.
We blame our failings on a
genetic code gone wrong, improper parenting or our socioeconomic conditions.
We invent new standards of
good and evil so that we can
salve our guilty conscience.
Yes, talking about sin in
real terms is politically incorrect and unpopular — but it is
desperately needed.
But why is it needed?
I’m glad you asked. ...
Sin: A universal problem
There are many words
used in scripture to define or
describe sin.
Trespass, transgress and iniquity are just a few.
The main idea of these
words is that God has a holy,
perfect standard and we either
fall short of it or willfully break
it.
Our inability to be perfect
— our sin — causes us to be
unholy and defiled.
Romans 3:23 bears this out:
“All have sinned.”
But our sin isn’t just a problem of our actions. It is a problem of our nature.
Ephesian 2:3 says we are
by “nature the children of
wrath.”
What this means is that we
are destined for judgment because of our nature, not just
our actions.
We aren’t sinners because
we sin. We sin because we are
sinners.
I can hear someone right
now saying, “Wait, those passages don’t apply to me. I’m a
pretty good guy. I am a good
neighbor. I love my wife. I’m
pretty religious, too.”
That’s great. In comparison
to other humans you might
appear to be “pretty” good.
But the problem with sin is
that the standard is not “pretty” good. It must be complete
perfection.
James says that if we stumble in one point of the law, we
are guilty of it all. (James
2:10). God’s law was given to
show us our guilt and to bring
knowledge of our sin. (Romans 3:19, 20)
When we compare ourselves to God and his standard, we all fall short. And our
sin has devastating consequences. Because of sin, we
are guilty — dead — condemned.
Sin isn’t pretty. It divides
families. It separates us from
God. Sin’s ultimate price tag is
death. Physical, spiritual and
eternal death are direct conse-

quences of our
sin.
Regardless
of who you
are, sin is a
universal problem that we all
must face.
Sin: A universal solution
The good
news about Jesus is just that:
Good News!
Before Jesus came to this
earth, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph and said
these words: “You shall call
his name Jesus, for he will
save his people from their
sins.” (Matthew 1:21)
Here is another “s” word
that most people don’t want to
hear today: “Savior.”
Before Jesus was born, the
angel explained why Jesus
had to come.
We are sinners. We need a
savior.
Later, as Jesus began his
ministry, John the Baptist introduced him this way: “Behold! The Lamb of God who
takes away the sin of the
world.” (John 1:29)
Why was Jesus described
and introduced this way?
We are sinners. We can’t
save ourselves. We can’t forgive ourselves. We need the
savior. We need Jesus.
He didn’t come to this earth
to rescue us from financial
poverty or help us “actualize”
our human potential. He came
to this earth seeking to save
that which was lost. He came
to die upon a cross to pay the
penalty for your sins and
mine.
Now, that may not be politically correct. It may not be
popular. You may not want to
hear it. But Jesus is the only
solution to our sin problem.
Religion can’t fix it.
Morality won’t cover it.
Education can’t explain it
away.
The stain and shame that
sin brings has only one solution and it is found at the foot
of a Roman cross and in the
emptiness of a borrowed
tomb.
Sin is ugly. It isn’t cute or
funny. It is open rebellion
against a holy God. And sin
has consequences you can’t
stop, fix or escape.
And that’s why Jesus came.
He offers all who believe forgiveness of sins, membership
in the family of God and eternal life.
Everything sin destroys, Jesus can restore.
Sin is a universal problem
that has one universal answer.
His name is Jesus.

What are you thankful for
this year?
I was looking back at last
year’s Thanksgiving column
and it was pretty depressing.
Not only were we at war, but
we had just come through Katrina, Rita, and the devastating
news of the tsunami was still
fresh. It had been a pretty
rough year.
This year we didn’t have
any hurricanes make landfall
in our country, and for that
I’m thankful. It was the first
time in several years that we
didn’t. We needed a break and
we got one.
I wish I could say the war
was over, but maybe I can be
thankful for that next year.
And I wish I could say terrorism is no longer a threat, but
I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to
say that again.
But the point of Thanksgiving is finding things for which
to be thankful. The world will
never be perfect, but there is
always enough good to give
us hope. It’s up to us to look
for it, find it, and remember it.
If we really look, we can always find something.
The Pilgrims, who first celebrated Thanksgiving, had had
a terribly rough year. Most of
their family members had
starved to death. Many more
died from disease and attacks.
Those who survived paused
during the time of harvest and
gave thanks. They were thankful to be alive. When Abraham
Lincoln declared Thanksgiving
a holiday, our country was
deep in the Civil War, being
torn apart and bloodied by opSee HOPE, page A-6

is that we survived another

You see, it is at that moment that we begin to realize
there truly are many things
good about our lives. We begin to think about the joy our
loved ones give. We remember our shelter, transportation,
job, friendships, our kids’ successes in school, clothing,
church, and our daily bread.

My wife says Thanksgiving
is the “middle child” of the
holidays and some people
overlook it. She’s right and
that’s sad. Life is more than a
party, and it’s more than giving and receiving presents.
Life is at its best when we are
thankful.

we reconciled with an old

something we never knew before.
And then it hits us: maybe

Maybe there is reason to have

•••• POWER POINTS OFFICIAL RULES ••••
1. Object of the game is to amass as many of the 136 possible
points as you can. Simply review the week s schedule of games, listed
on entry form, and decide which game you are SUREST of picking a
winner in. Write the name of your projected winner on the 16-point line,
and so on down to the 1-point line, which game you figure to be a tossup. Next, fill in Tiebreaker 1, the total points scored by both teams in the
week s designated game. If this step fails to produce a winner, the
judges will apply Tiebreaker 2, total offensive yardage from scrimmage
in this game. If a winner still doesn t emerge, a drawing will be held
among those contestants still tied. Decisions of the judges are final. The
weekly Ohio Valley regional winner will receive $1,000.
2. Any entry form that does not contain a legible name, address,
etc., will be disqualified.
3. Entries that fail to forecast a winner from each and every game
will be disqualified, as will entries that fail to distinguish between the Jets
and Giants of New York and other similar teams.
4. No points are awarded on tie games or in case any game is not
played for any reason during its scheduled week.
5. Entering POWER POINTS constitutes permission by contestant
for his or her name and photograph to be used for news and reasonable
promotional purposes at no charge.
6. Employees of this newspaper and their immediate families are

government.
If this county is going to advance and
improve, we need new ideas and people who
are willing to go against the “old guard.”
For example, Brenneman was part of the
regime, who along with current commissioner
Olivia Lazor, made decisions that led to
massive tax increases. In fact, it led to
overtaxing since there is a huge surplus in
the budget that should be returned to the
people.
The selection process is pretty simple. The
county Republican Committee will first have a
chance to make non-binding
recommendations on who should be named
to the seat. After their ridiculous nomination
of the unqualified Brooks to replace Rep. Rod
Wilt on the ballot, that recommendation
should be immediately thrown in the
wastebasket.
It’s hard to imagine that Republicans
haven’t already pressed for new party
leadership that can be trusted.
We need people to step up and be counted.
We need Mercer County residents who plan
to remain in this county and help develop
policies that are pro-business and pro-industry,
rather than those that overtax and drive
businesses as well as residents away.
We need candidates who won’t continue to
force-feed our tax money to a business like
Woodland Place nursing home without taking
control of what’s happening there. We need
people that won’t spend millions building a
new jail that is already too small.
We need people with common sense.
Party lines should never come into play at
the county level. Commissioners should serve
the interest of every person, regardless of
their party affiliation.

dered impotent by the revelation that he had been kicking
up his heels with a prostitute.
And Jim Bakker, who raked
in a fortune through the ministry he shared with wife
Tammy Faye, engaged in a
tryst with church secretary
Jessica Hahn, as well as financial peccadilloes that got him
into even worse trouble.
These self-appointed vicars
of virtue are not always religious icons. Folks with one
foot in the sanctuary and the
other on the campaign bandwagon have also been felled
by their own foolishness.
Most recently topping the
news cycles was disgraced
Florida GOP Congressman
Mark Foley, a gay-basher
who was sending provocative
e-mails to underage male
pages. Tom DeLay, the
House majority leader who
hollered about the avarice of
Democrat power-brokers, has
been spotlighted as the king
of corruption. And Ralph
Reed, that rosy-cheeked bastion of morality who tied himself to the GOP, is now
wrapped in knots with lobbyist Jack Abramoff and the tribal casino scandal.
No list of hypocrites would
be complete without pill-popping pundit Rush Limbaugh,
who consigned drug users to
life in prison until his own
habit was revealed — only to
go into brief rehab, and
emerge to again decry others
with the same problem!
All these men (except Limbaugh) have one thing in
common: a penchant for presenting themselves as fervent
Christians. Unfortunately, the
“real” Christians — those
who quietly go about living as
witnesses to the Lord, instead
of blasting their own horns
and lambasting the perceived
sins of others — want nothing to do with these
hypocrites. The “real” evangelical Christians are starting
to wake up and realize
they’ve been used, by a
heinous breed of “criminal”
— the type who makes a
mockery of the faith of others
by pretending to agree with
it.
Christ described these people in Matthew 6:5: “And
when thou prayest, thou shalt
not be as the hypocrites are:
for they love to pray standing
in the synagogues and in the
corners of the streets, that
they may be seen of men.”
The so-called “super-pious”
— breast-beaters who are
more concerned that other
people see them as devout
than they are about following
Christ’s teachings — are in
every church. They’ll call
themselves “traditional” because they know all the
hymns, prayers and routines,
and they always hold some
title or another that gives
them special authority. But
when they’re not putting their
piety on display, these folks
are often down in the muck
with the rest of humanity:
drinking too much, or kicking
their kids out of the house for
making less-than-perfect
grades, or looking down at
others who are “different,” or
displaying their wives as second-class citizens. Love of
neighbor is not always part of
the equation.
Hypocrites have always
been seen as a problem by
churches (and for less-thanregular attendees, as an excuse for avoiding services),
and perhaps the only cure is
the prayers of everyone else.
More disturbing are their
bold brethren who show up
these days in nearly every
politician’s TV blurb, touting
their “faith” as a means to an
end. The end, in this case, is
control of other people’s lives.
Many polls indicate Americans are yearning for a spiritual awakening. But what they
want is the genuine article,
not the snake oil being sold
by hypocrites. The best way
to get the real McCoy is to
stop listening to the fake
ones. They have truly shown
themselves to be among our
worst modern problems, and
for once, here’s a problem
that might actually go away if
we ignore it.

BRIDGEVILLE — Prior to
the 2006 season, no Slippery
Rock soccer team had won a
game in the state playoffs.
So it was very surprising
when the girls team upset
WPIAL champion South Park
(1-0) in the first round of the
state playoffs. They added to
the surprising run with a 2-1

But, the Lady Rockets’ surprising run ended with a 1-0

Rock men looking
to improve in 06-07
By Corey J. Corbin
The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Division coaches may have unknowingly
handed
the
Slippery Rock University
men’s basketball team some
motivational tools.
The PSAC West coaches
selected The Rock to finish in
seventh place in the seventeam division.
“We’ll use it as motivation,”
said interim coach Jamal
Palmer. “I don’t see us as being that bad of a team. We can
compete for a playoff spot. We
just have to prove people
wrong and to do that we have
to work hard in practice.
“We’re going to be more
competitive this year than last
year. Our bench is a lot deeper than in the past and we
have some size. We also have
some guards that can shoot,
so we’re definitely a different
team.”
Palmer inherited the coaching reigns on an interim basis
when former coach John
Marhefka unexpectedly resigned after the 2005-06 season.
“I feel really comfortable
with it right now,” Palmer
said. “The guys are working
really hard in practice. They’re
responding well to Coach
Martin and I. We have to keep
working hard in practice and
it’ll show in the games.”
The new SRU men’s coach
is looking to run more this
season and will do so with a
three-guard line-up.
Sophomore Matt Schaefer
(6-3), who averaged 4.3 points,
3.3 assists and 2.0 rebounds,
will start at the point, while 63 sophomore Erroll Robinson
will get the starting nod at the
two-guard spot. Junior Jamar
Scales (6-3) will likely start at
small forward.
Juniors Kenny Smith (6-2)
and Brandon Thompson (6-4)
and freshmen Joe Marzullo (62) and David White (6-3) will
see time off the bench.
Scales led The Rock in
scoring last year with 12.3
points a game and shot 55.3
percent, while Robinson added
8.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and
1.6 assists
“I definitely want to get out
and run more,” Palmer said.
“When we need to slow it
down, we’ll slow it down and
run a half-court offense. We
can get at least 75 points a
game and then run it up from
there.
“We’re probably going to
go with a three-guard line-up
with two posts. We have four
guards, who could start on
any given night. Same with
the posts. It’ll change game-togame. Our guards are more
athletic than they have been
in the past. They worked hard

sity?
Name the
football stadium after him?
Can’t. It’s already named
for the man he surpassed a
few weeks ago for the school’s
all-time wins mark (N. Kerr
Thompson).
The field itself?
Can’t. It’s already named
for the man he succeeded as
head coach (Bob DiSpirito).
The weight room has already been named after alumnus Jerry Bejbl.
Here’s a suggestion —
maybe they could call it the
George Mihalik Sports Complex since the university’s soccer, field hockey and track &
field teams also compete
there.
I know George doesn’t really care about being memorialized, but it’s something the
university should consider
when the time comes.
Staying in the same vein
but crossing Kiester Road, I
got to thinking that my other
alma mater might be in the
mood to do something similar.
The football field is blandly
called Slippery Rock High
School field.
Why not rededicate it as
‘Beatty Field’ or ‘Beatty Stadium’ after the man that
brought football to SRHS 40
years ago?
In 1966, Bill Beatty began
and coached the fledgling
Rockets and did so before becoming ‘The Voice of the
Rockets’ for many years before walking away two weeks
ago. He called his last varsity
game Nov. 3, 2006.
A 1952 graduate of SRHS,
Beatty also served as the
school's head baseball and
golf coach, as well as seventhand eighth-grade basketball
coach, before becoming part
of the administration and serving as athletic director, assistant principal and eventually
principal at the high school.
He retired in 1991.
I think it’s the least the
school district could do to
honor a man who dedicated
over 50 years to the community.
I’m starting to get warmed
up again with a 10-6 (.625)
mark, which brought my season total to 91-53 (.632). Let’s
see if I can continue to heat

Peterson, a four-time state
qualifier, took matters into his
own hands recently by signing
his national letter of intent to

“I’m really excited to play

Schwamberger tied for the
PAC lead with a career-high
five interceptions this season.
His five picks were the most
for a Grove City player since
Gene Iannuzzi had five interceptions
in
2002.
Schwamberger also broke up
eight passes.
Rice finished his career as a
four-year starter at right guard
for Grove City. He started the
final seven games of 2006 after
missing the early portion of
the season due to injury.
Fichter, meanwhile, started
nine games at split end and
caught a team-leading 39 passes. Fichter also led Grove City
with 443 receiving yards and
six touchdown catches.
Weil led Grove City in rushing with 591 rushing yards, including a 4.3 yards per carry
average. Weil also caught nine
passes and scored three
touchdowns. He is also an
Academic All-District selection.
DiDonato set new Grove
City single-season records for
pass completions (151) and attempts (275). He threw for
1,554 yards and 13 touchdowns this year. DiDonato
also ran for 178 yards and
scored a team-leading seven
touchdowns. He started all 10
games at quarterback as a
freshman.
Jordan Johnston started all
10 games at nose tackle and
tallied 32 total tackles. He had
two quarterback sacks and
forced one fumble. Like Weil,
he is an Academic All-District
selection.
Waugh led Grove City with
103 total tackles this year, including 59 solo hits. Waugh
led Grove City in tackles for
loss (15) and sacks (four). He
had one interception and five
pass breakups. Waugh started
all 10 games at weakside linebacker for Grove City.
Coughlin moved to strong
safety prior to the season and
finished with 90 tackles. He
started nine games and had
seven tackles for loss.

junior offensive tackle Mike
Butterworth and sophomore

honors for the second successive season to headline a list
of five Rock players honored
Wednesday by the division's
head coaches.
Junior offensive guard Bron
Clouser, senior placekicking
specialist Ryan Daniel and junior defensive tackle Clint Forsha were afforded secondteam honors.
The second-team All-PSACWest honor was the third
straight earned by Daniel.
Clouser and Forsha each
earned all-conference honors
for the first time in their collegiate careers.
Butterworth and Clouser
were mainstays on a Rock offensive line that helped SRU
rank fifth in the PSAC in both
scoring and rushing offense,
sixth in passing offense and
seventh in total offense.
Lacek led the PSAC in tackles for loss with 28 for minus125 yards and ranked second
in quarterback sacks with 8.5
for -87 yards. He was The
Rock's fourth leading tackler
this fall with 54 total tackles.
He also broke up five passes,
forced one fumble, recovered
one fumble and blocked one
kick.
Daniel ranked second in
the PSAC in extra points kicking percentage with a 97.4 percent (37 of 38). He also booted seven field goals and
finished the season as The
Rock's leading scorer with 58
points.
Forsha was tied for ninth in
the PSAC in tackles for loss
with 14 for -48 yards. He was
SRU's No. 5 tackler with 50 total takedowns, including four
QB sacks for -28 yards, and
had three pass breakups and
one fumble recovery.
Summers headed to WVU
“I really do. In fact, I think
he’ll get drafted, though I
don’t know how high he’ll go,”
Scurpa said. “But that may be
another decision he may have
to make in his young life. If he
gets drafted — and I’m just
speculating — whether he
wants to take that avenue or

Scurpa was an NCAA Division II All-American pitcher at
Slippery Rock University, and
as a senior was part of a team
that advanced to the D-II
World Series. However, of
Summers, Scurpa said, “He’s
every bit of quality more than
anybody I ever played with.”
Regarding the WVU diamondmen Summers said,
“From what I understand it is
a pretty powerful program. I
can’t wait. I’m counting down
the days already.”
Last spring for Sharpsville
(16-6), the right-handed Summers struck out 85 hitters in
56 1/3 innings while walking
only 22. He posted an 8-2 wonlost mark and ERA of 1.24. He
also batted .389 with 18 RBI
and a .476 on-base percentage.
Then

a
pitcher/shortstop for Newell
Sporting Goods of the

last summer he hit .350 and
carded a 3-2 mound mark.
“He makes you, as a coach,
look like you know what
your’re doing,” quipped Scurpa. “I’ve never had anyone
throw as hard as he does with
that kind of accuracy. ... He
throws hard, has command of
his pitches and has a great
knowledge of the game. He
sets up hitters.”
At the “Beast” Showcase
Summers’ fastball was clocked
at 92 miles-per-hour. And already about 6-foot-4, Summers
will not turn 18 years old until
late-April.
“I think he’ll be a real marketable kid as far as the pro
draft. I think he acutally has a
chance,” Scurpa said.
Scholastically,
Summers
has earned 4 letters in football
for veteran mentor Paul Piccirilli, will earn his 3rd in basketball this winter for coach Gary
Steele, then add his 4th baseball monogram next spring.
Academically, he has a 3.1
grade-point-average. He’s a
good kid, an ‘old-school’ kid
that just loves to play sports,
Scurpa said, before relating
his favorite Summers’ anecdote. “He had just thrown that
perfect game his freshman
year against Eisenhower (in
the District 10 playoffs) —
and I can’t take any credit for
that; I think I called about 5
pitches. Anyway, I’m sweating,
nervous. We won 1-0 and had
to manufacture that run, so
I’m just exhausted after the
game.
“So I go back to my office,
make a few notes, take a
shower, then get in the car to
go home,” Scurpa continued.
“And there, running down the
street, still in his (baseball)
uniform pants and socks is
Jarryd, bouncing a basketball,
getting ready to go play some
pickup at open gym.
“He’s unflappable, and you
can see that on the field in
football or on the court in basketball, and on the playing
field in baseball. He’s a leader,
but he’s not the type to yell at
anyone. He just works hard
and everybody wants to follow
him,” Scurpa concluded.
Summers and his parents
Steve and Geri and his 15year-old sister Miranda reside
in Sharpsville, and he also has
a brother Steve, 31, and a sister Jamie, 26.
In summation, Summers —
who will lead the Blue Devils
tonight in the D-10 semifinals
against undefeated Mercyhurst Prep, serving as quarterback, free safety, punter and
placekicker — said,
“I’d like to thank Coach
‘Pic’ and all the football coaches — they’ve been a big help
— and my baseball coaches,
especially Mr. Scurpa, and my
mom and dad.”

Fairview ends storybook season
The Greenville Trojans had
a great season going from 0-10
in 2005 to qualifying for the D10 playoffs in 2006.
Fairview’s 41-7 win over
Greenville at McDowell High
School on Saturday was the
Tigers’ first playoff victory
since 1992. That was the final
season of head coach Jack
Bestwick and Fairview won
the D-10 Class AA title and
made it to the PIAA western
semifinals.
In
Saturday’s
game,
Fairview senior RB Jack McCann ran for 129 yards to go
over the 1,000 mark (1,081).
Greenville junior QB Josh
Chisholm finished the year going 91-of-213 for 1,256 yards
with 7 TDs and 12 interceptions.
The Trojans should be set
up for next season. Chisholm
will be a senior along with the
team’s top rusher Chris Fragapane, 151-498, and Shaun Ferguson, 22-364, the 6th-best receiver in our coverage area.
One key loss for 2007 is the
area’s 2nd best receiver, senior Phil Reasbeck (38-585).
ä West Middlesex might
have their hands full on Friday
night with Kennedy Catholic’s
Lee Plotts and Ross Gargano
running on the turf at SRU.
Plotts surpassed the 2,000yard plateau in their 41-14 win
over Saegertown on Friday.
Gargano went over 1,000
(1,100) in the same game.
Plotts and Gargano stand
7th and 8th, respectively, on
the Mercer County career
rushing list. Plotts has 4,377
yards while Gargano is at
4,307.
The top six are Sharon’s
T.J. Phillips (6,241), Marko
Jackson (5,223), who attended
Sharon and Glen Mills,
Greenville’s Joe Korcinsky
(5,197), Sharon’s Mike Archie
(5,136), Sharpsville’s Justin
Napotnik
(4,600)
and
Reynolds’ Ron Park (4,537).

will have to pay attention to
that KC duo, the Big Red of-

is
very wellbalanced.

yards. He

picks. He
also leads the team in rushing
with 512 yards on 101 carries

Besides Hoffman’s great
numbers, WM head coach
Brian Hoffman distributes the
ball well. In rushing, Josh
Brown has 73 carries for 538
yards, Lucas Allen has 70
totes for 500 yards and Steve
Andrusky has compiled 497
yards on 91 carries.
In passing, the numbers are
Allen (27-512), Brown (26-510)
and Tyler Barris (20-338).
ä In D-10, Hoffman only
trails Warren’s Jeff Eaton in
passing yards. Eaton threw for
1,835 yards before the Dragons were ousted by Strong
Vincent, 48-0, Saturday night
in the D-10 Class AAA semis
at Veterans Stadium, Erie.
Strong Vincent faces General McLane Friday in the D-10
title game. GM beat ESV for
the crown last season. In the
past 4 seasons, Vincent has
won 3-of-4 championships.
˝ General McLane advanced by posting a 14-7 overtime win against Titusville at
McDowell High on Saturday.
Making only his second
start at QB, McLane’s Bobby
Stauffer threw a 10-yard TD
pass to tight end Shawn Walker. McLane’s defense then
held the Rockets scoreless for
the win. Stauffer has filled in
for starter Drew Astorino, who
cut his hand in a week 9 contest against Meadville.
ä Wilmington High junior
Chris Burns surpassed the
1,000-yard rushing mark on
Saturday night with the Greyhounds’ 35-8 win over Corry at
SRU.
Burns entered the game
with 921 yards and ran for 85.
His 2006 rushing numbers are
118 carries for 1,006 yards and
18 TDs.
ä It was nice to see Detroit
Tigers’ hard-throwing righthander Justin Verlander being
named American League
Rookie of the Year this week.
Even though I am a huge
Cleveland Indians fan, I have
always kind of liked Detroit.
Maybe it’s because of visiting
the Motor City quite a few
times and seeing older Tiger
Stadium and the new Comerica Park, along with the Joe
Louis Arena, Pontiac Silverdome and The Palace in
Auburn Hills.
Verlander started 7 games
with the Double-A Erie Seawolves in 2005. He went 2-0
with a 0.28 ERA, fanned 32
batters and only walked 7 in
32 2/3 innings.
In June, I was in Corry to
visit my old college roommate
Chris Oyer and we went to a
Seawolves game. We watched
Humberto Sanchez pitch a
one-hitter through 7 innings
against the Binghamton Mets.
On Friday, Detroit sent
Sanchez along with two other
pitching prospects to the Yankees for Gary Sheffield.
A member of the U.S. team
was
Baltimore
Orioles’
prospect Nolan Reimold, a
Kennedy Catholic High product.
ä I was recently watching
Adam Sandler’s newly-released movie “Click” when a
four-minute preview of the
movie “We Are Marshall”
came on.
The Warner Brothers
movie, which will be in theaters Dec. 22, is about the
plane crash on Nov. 14, 1970
that killed 75 players and
coaches of the Marshall University football team as they
descended into Tri-State Airport in Huntingdon, W.Va., on
return from its game at East
Carolina.
Carl Kokor, 73, of Brookfield was an assistant Marshall
coach and missed the flight
because he had been asked to
scout the Penn State vs. Ohio
University game in State College along with assistant Mickey Jackson. The third assistant
coach to live was Red Dawson, who had a fear of flying
and drove to all away games.
ä Rob Glus is stepping
down as head football coach at
Conneaut Valley after a 3-7
season.
Glus, who teaches health
and physical education at
Northwestern High, went 1129 in four seasons as head
coach of the Indians.
ä Aliquippa High basketball star Herb Pope signed a
letter-of-intent to play for
coach Reggie Theus at New
Mexico State on Monday.
Pope, a 6-foot-9 forward, averaged 18.3 points and 15 rebounds a game last season.
Pope is ranked as one of
the top 40 seniors in the country by several scouting services.
ä The Maplewood High
girls volleyball team, the defending PIAA champs, were
ousted from the PIAA Class
AA volleyball championships
last Friday at Central York
High School.
The Lady Tigers went 1-2 in
quarterfinal pool play. The 2
losses were the first of the
season as Maplewood finished
21-2. The losses also snapped
their streak of 31 consecutive
wins.
WPIAL’s West Allegheny
won the PIAA Class AA crown
with a 25-16, 25-23, 11-25, 2520 win over District 3’s
