– Borrow-A-Bridesmaid –
Book Tells Tale of Hired Bridesmaid
dant than the Cake Boss, Piper falls for
Charlie Bell, the brother of a client. A fellow aspiring writer, Charlie’s the only person recently who’s encouraged Piper to
follow her dreams. Not to mention, he’s
pretty darn cute.
But when Charlie turns out to be the
groom in one of her gigs—and set to marry
the craziest bridezilla of them all—Piper
must band together with her newfound
friends and stop Charlie from making the
biggest mistake of his life.
Borrow-A-Bridesmaid was inspired by
author Anne Wagener’s own ten turns as
a bridesmaid. Her bridesmaid adventures
run the gamut from a Las Vegas elopement
to an elegant English castle wedding.
When she’s not writing, Anne enjoys playing her ukulele and reading. She lives in
Rochester, NY.
Debut author, Anne Wagener
When life hands you lemons, make lemonade—or, in Piper Brody’s case, make a
Craigslist ad offering yourself up as a hired
bridesmaid! So begins the hilarious, touching, coming-of-age novel, Borrow-ABridesmaid from debut author Anne
Wagener.
Borrow-A-Bridesmaid is the story of
Piper Brody, a recent college grad who
decides to rent herself out on Craigslist—
as a hired bridesmaid. Her airport bookseller job just isn’t bringing home the turkey bacon, and no one’s going to pay her
to analyze Milton’s poetry. Turns out, having an English literature degree from an
upstanding university isn’t all it’s cracked
up to be.
Piper’s Craigslist endeavor soon picks up
steam, netting her clients such as Southern peach Stacey, whose interracial marriage causes a family feud, and Alex, a brideto-be who’s so type A she’s type A-plus.

New
Hours
Well, at last, summer
weather, although not summer itself, is in full swing. The
season offers more opportunities than any other. There
are, however, hazards which
we should take all precautions to avoid, a topic I promised to focus on last week.
Given the condition of the
Allegheny, water hazards
rank very high up on the list.
As this is being written, the
river is high and muddy,
docks are threatening to pull
loose, and logs and other debris are floating by. Personally, I will not take my boat
out under such conditions.
Not only am I concerned
about safety, but I can not
help but think that running
muddy water through the
motor will cause damage.
Regardless of water conditions, safety should be the
number one factor when
boating.
With the arrival of warm
weather, insects and spiders
work their way into the outdoor picture. Bees, and even
more so, their nasty cousins,
the wasp family, are a constant concern. It is very easy
to unwittingly disturb a nest,
and if you do that, the consequences can be indeed dire.
For most of us, a sting is just
painful, but if you are allergic
to the venom, be sure to carry
the proper medication when
outdoors.
The black widow and
brown recluse are our two
poisonous spiders. Many
years ago, I suffered a brown
recluse bite while on a camping trip in another state. The
bite led to necrosis and other
complications. It required
medical treatment, and took
weeks to heal, and I still carry
the scar. It should be noted
that all spiders, whether poisonous or not, will bite. Their
fangs are filthy, and the filth
can lead to nasty infections.
Spiders also have some
nasty cousins, namely ticks.
In recent years, these have
become a real problem in
these parts. The two most
common are the American
dog tick and the deer tick,
also known as the black
legged tick. Ticks can carry a
variety of diseases, including,
in the case of the deer tick, the
dreaded Lyme disease. If a
bullseye shaped inflammation appears after a tick bite,
get medical attention immediately. All bites should be
cleaned carefully, and antiseptic should be applied.
Ticks are pretty easy to
spot. They are a disgusting,
bulbous knob on the skin. To
remove them, they should be
gripped as close to the skin as
possible, with care being
taken to not leave the head
and/or mouth parts embedded, as this increases the
chances of infection. There
are little tick removal tools on
the market, and they work
really well. Once you get a
tick out, don’t crush it with
your fingers, as this contributes to the release of the
germs carried by the tick.
Burning them is the best way
to get rid of them. Wash your
hands thoroughly after handling ticks and, if you or your
pet exhibit any signs of illness, seek immediate medical
or veterinary attention.
Not to be overlooked are
the poisonous plants, such as
poison ivy, poison oak and
poison sumac. These plants
are really common, and can
invade just about anywhere,
including your yard. They all
contain a substance called
urushiol, which can cause an
almost unbelievably nasty outbreak on the skin. Nobody is
totally immune to this toxin.
If you come into contact with
these plants, you must get the
toxin off you as soon as possible. A strong soap, such as
Fels-Naptha, will do a good
job. Clothing should be
washed thoroughly, and I do
mean thoroughly. Shoes and
boots should be given a vigorous washing or wipe down.
As wonderful as it is, sunlight can also be a hazard. A
sunburn is bad enough in itself, but repeated exposure to
the sun’s ultraviolet rays can
cause skin cancer. People like
me, with red hair and freckles, are among the most susceptible. You should get into
the habit of using sunscreen,
being careful to not miss any
exposed skin. Once, on a
shore fishing trip to
Chapman Dam, I missed the
outside of my right ankle. It
was an especially hot and
sunny day, and I was out in it
the whole day. The end result
was a horrifically large blister,
along with days of agonizing
pain. In fact, I had to use a
cane when getting out of bed
in the morning, as I couldn’t
stand pressure on the ankle
when I first got up. It’s another scar that I carry to this
day.
Space, of course, prohibits
discussing all of the hazards
we face in the outdoors, including lightning, falls, grilling and frying accidents, and
many others. Danger should
not prevent you from enjoying the wonders of the outdoors. A bit of caution and
common sense will usually
keep you safe.

In case you hadn’t noticed, that was a breath of fresh air
breezing through the golf world. It’s been building for a few
years, but it really came to life this past April, when Jordan
Spieth turned in a record-breaking performance to win the
Masters. He’s only 21, and he faced down some veteran players, and in the process he felt pretty good about himself. So
did the rest of us, golf fans and non-fans alike.
What amazes everyone is the way Spieth blends his youth
with a maturity beyond his years, and it’s really no stretch at
all to trace it to his schooling back in Dallas, his home town.
Listen to Steve Koch, the athletic director at Jesuit College
Preparatory School, which claims Spieth as a graduate of its
class of 2011: “He says what he believes. He believes in supporting others, taking care of others before he takes care of
himself.”
Or listen to Colette Corbin of St. Monica’s, Spieth’s elementary school: “Jordan was always respectful to staff and students alike. He was one of those kids that would just stay and
help clean up in the cafeteria if he saw that I was short of
students helping. He was considerate of others’ feelings and
tried to include other students that might otherwise not be
part of a group.”
They were among those who spoke to Seth Gonzales of The
Texas Catholic, the Dallas diocesan newspaper, for a story
distributed by Catholic News Service. Dallas was where Spieth
was already something of a local celebrity when he was named
Junior Golfer of the Year and led his high school golf team to
three state championships.
The Jesuit golf coach, Cathy Marino, remembers that while
Spieth obviously stood out as a golfer, he was always “one of
the guys.” Herself a 10-year veteran of the LPGA, she continued: “He was a regular high school kid a lot of the time and I
was glad to see that. I think that’s important, especially once
you turn pro and it becomes a business.”
Spieth’s biggest fan says something about his priorities.
She’s his teen-age sister, Ellie, and she’s autistic. His concern
for her, at golf courses all over the country, is already the stuff
of legend, and he made sure he had his family with him at
Augusta, Georgia, when he won the Masters. So were his high
school buddies—but not the Jesuit golf team, getting ready
for a tournament of their own. Jesuit golfer Cameron Suhy
summed up their reaction:
“It was pretty nerve-wracking the whole week, just watching him having to sit on the lead, but when he finally pulled it
out it definitely gave our team a lot of confidence. We saw that
a kid from Jesuit could win on golf’s biggest stage.”
There’s a long road ahead for Jordan Spieth, and it will be
interesting to see if he’ll always be “the kid from Jesuit.”
Michael Earsing, president of the school, will be a watchful
observer.
“I think it’s a hope of everybody who works in Catholic
education,” he said, “that you see somebody who is achieving
at such a high level, who is also a wonderful model for our
students. Jordan is just the common man who achieves greatness, through the blessings and talent God has given him to
the maximum.”

A Trip Through
The Canal
A Trip Through The Canal
When a tooth becomes
badly infected, it can only be
saved by a root canal procedure that involves removal of
the nerve and pulp inside the
tooth. This "endodontic
treatment" is preceded by injection of local anesthetic, after which an opening is created in the tooth's crown and
into the pulp chamber. After
the pulp is removed, the
chamber is cleansed and enlarged. Then, a temporary
filling is set into the tooth's
crown. On the next visit, the
temporary filling is removed
and the root canals are filled
with special rubber-like material and permanently
sealed. Again, a temporary
filling is set in place, which is
subsequently removed when
a crown is placed on the restored tooth.
P.S. because a tooth's nerve
serves no other purpose than
to provide the sensation of
hot or cold after the tooth has
emerged through the gums,
its removal with root canal
treatment alters neither the
tooth's health nor its function.

Donate $50,000 to
Clarion County YMCA
Knox-Tom’s Riverside Quality Foods and the Ray Family are one of the latest local businesses to donate $50,000
toward the new Clarion County YMCA.
“We’re celebrating our 45th year in Clarion County this
year, and we wouldn’t have been here this long without the
support of our customers and us supporting our communities,” said Tom Ray, president of Tom’s Riverside Quality
Foods. “Along with our three stores, Marsha and I are donating along with my mother, Avnonelle Ray, who will be 90
years young this year, but could not attend today’s presentation.”
Milissa Bauer, co-chair of the YMCA Campaign Cabinet,
described the Ray gift as one of the key reasons the new YMCA
will be built thanks to the difference made by local business
support.
“With Tom’s Riverside grocery stores in Knox, New
Bethlehem and Rimersburg, the new location by I-80 will be
more convenient for our customers to use the YMCA,”said
Ray. “And we all really hope a lot of people do, because there’s
no downside to being healthy.”
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 has already 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 is now being
launched.
“The yew YMCA will benefit the area in many ways, whether
you use the facility or not,”said Ray. “For Clarion County to
grow again, we need new businesses to locate here and create jobs and a brand new health and fitness facility will be
another ‘plus’ in picking Clarion County over other areas.”
The new project, among other facilities, will bring access to
a four-lane lap swimming/therapy pool and other year-round
recreation activities that the YMCA provides because of its
501(c) 3 status.
For more information about the campaign, contact Campaign Communications Coordinator Cindy Nave at 814-2269722.

Drake Well Museum Presents
Something More Saturdays:
Music, Spinning and Weaving
On Saturday, June 13,
Drake Well Museum and Park
and Friends of Drake Well,
Inc. will present the sixth installment of Something More
Saturdays, a monthly program offering visitors unique
and entertaining learning experiences not included in a
typical visit to the museum.
Scheduled from 10:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m. on the second Saturday of every month, Something More Saturday programs are included in the
museum’s regular admission
fees. Families will be able to
take advantage of the
program’s Special Family Admission Rate, up to 2 adults
and 3 children for only
$20.00.
June’s Something More Saturday will feature live music
by the Elm Street Strummers
as well as spinning and weaving demonstrations by the
Northwest Pennsylvania Spinners and Weavers Guild. The
Elm Street Strummers specialize in playing the dulcimer, a flat instrument with
metal strings stretched over a
fretted sound box. Related
to the guitar, dulcimers are
played by plucking, strumming or using a light hammer
to strike the strings. Visitors
will enjoy listening to these
local musicians play pieces
from the mid-nineteenth century.
Comprised of 50 spinners
and weavers from northwest
Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio
and southwest New York, the
Northwest Pennsylvania Spinners and Weaver Guild is
dedicated to promoting education and interest in the arts
of spinning, dyeing, weaving
and fiber related techniques.
Members of the organization
will demonstrate their skills
for visitors throughout the
day.
Located off Route 8 south
of Titusville, Drake Well Museum and Park is open year
round. Summer hours are
Tuesday through Saturday
from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
and Sunday from noon to
5:00 p.m. Drake Well Museum and Park is administered by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission in partnership with
Friends of Drake Well, Inc.
and is part of the Pennsylvania Trails of History®
(www.PATrailsofHistory.com).
For more information

Shell Kicks Off Cross Country Relay
Fills-Up at the Emlenton Truck Plaza
Shell kicked-off a crosscountry relay celebrating
the North American launch
of Shell V-Power NiTRO+
Premium Gasoline on June
2, 2015 in New York City
during the Carson Daly
show.
After the Times Square
event, Shell took its fuel
launch on the road with a
cross-country relay in a
BMW M3 fueled with the
new Shell V-Power NiTRO+
Premium Gasoline. Joining
Shell for the ride will be
Chicago Bears Running
Back Matt Forte, auto racing team owner Bobby
Rahal, John Hennessey of
Hennessey Performance,
boxing legend Sugar Ray
Leonard and world champion racing driver Mario

Tom Jackson - Owner
Molly Riley
Valedictorian
You could win one of these 2016 BMW 320i 3 Series Sedans
and three cylinders running
on competitive premium
gasolines. This vehicle is designed to show the performance differences in a headto-head comparison within
one car driving in the exact
same conditions. Relay experiences and conversations will be captured and
shared in real time through
social channels.
The
Shell
V-Power
NiTRO+ Drivers Relay will
conclude in Los Angeles today on Tuesday, June 9,
where Mario Andretti, John
Hennessey and Shell scientists will be joined by noted
auto enthusiast Jay Leno at
his iconic garage. They will
open the engine of the Dual
Fuel Car to evaluate how
both fuels impacted the
car’s performance during its
cross country journey.
Shell’s cross-country relay
of BMWs was scheduled to
stop at the Emlenton Emlenton Truck Plaza around
8:20 PM on June 2. Camera
crews, friends, staff and
owners were waiting for
their arrival with refreshments, apple pie and homemade ice cream, only to be
disappointed of an extreme
delay. With no contact from
the cross-country crew the
welcome team had no idea
where they were or when
they would be stopping, if
at all, so they departed
around 11:30 PM. The Shell
cross-country relay did
eventually arrive and were
impressed by the quality of
the Emlenton Truck Plaza’s
facility, even without the
red carpet.
To celebrate the launch of
their new Shell V-Power
NiTRO+ Premium Gasoline
and the 2015 BMW endorsement, Shell will be
awarding 100 2016 BMW
320i 3 Series Sedan and
$5,000 cash to customers
in the first 100 days of the
Shell V-Power NiTRO+
sweepstakes that started on
June 1, 2015 and will continue until September 8,
2015. How do you enter?
Become a Member of Shell’s
FREE loyalty program, Fuel
Rewards®, for your chance
to win one of these new
BMWs.
You can obtain your Fuel
Rewards™ Network Card
at the Emlenton Truck Plaza
and Restaurant just off Interstate 80 Exit 42. Just pickup a FREE Fuel Rewards

Joyce Laverick
Beauty Salon
March 1985 to May 2015
I started my business in Buela
Mae Black’s Beauty Shop in
March 1985 and worked
there until August of 1988. I
then moved my business into
the salon we built onto our
home. During my 30 years
working in Parker, I have
been very fortunate to have a
great clientele. My clients
were very supportive as my
family grew and hour our ups
and downs. To all my customers through the years, I would
like to thank you for the loyalty, patience and generosity.
I will miss visiting with you and
the many times you provided
me with good ideas and direction. A special thank you
to my co-workers over the
years, Mindy Eiler, Sharon
Collier and especially Nicole
Thompson who I worked with
for 19 years.
Sincerely,
Joyce Laverick

C Street Brass began as a small project between five
friends who are, coincidentally, the most handsome men
ever to grace the earth. Equally as comfortable in the
sound world of baroque music as they are playing electronic dance music, they connect lovers of the arts from
all walks of life around a unique and innovative concert
experience.
Ensemble in residence at Carnegie Mellon University
since 2012, C Street Brass is proud to now call Pittsburgh
home. C Street has been featured on a variety of series
around the country including the Corpus Christi Chamber Music Series, Community Concerts Second Series
(Baltimore, MD) and the Strings Music Festival in Steamboat Springs, CO. The members of C Street have been
featured multiple times on WBJC: The Classical Voice of
Baltimore. Internationally, the group has toured in Tbilisi,
Georgia as resident ensemble of the 2012 Traveling Notes
Music Festival and in Doha, Qatar in 2013 as ambassadors for Carnegie Mellon University.

dencies in Orcas

2014, the ensemble was awarded a Visiting Scholars
Grant by the University of South Carolina. By way of the
grant, they will spend one week each semester of the
2014-2015 school year in Columbia, South Carolina.
Their activities include a variety of concerts, master
classes, seminars and sharing their music with the community by way of public outdoor performances and coaching community bands.
C Street Brass collaborates with musicians and artists of
all disciplines. In 2010 the group premiered David
Conte’s “Two Pieces for Brass Quintet and Organ” with
renowned organist and scholar Donald Sutherland. Their
most recent project, Beauty Slap, presents a new innovative concert experience combining electronic dance music with brass band and guitar. Beauty Slap has toured
extensively throughout the east coast and can regularly
be seen in dance clubs in the Pittsburgh area.

Mrs. Joy Wilsted, Author
Mrs. Wilsted’s reading
demonstrations for families
and schools took her to
many parts of the country
where she shared her strategies at International Reading Assn. conferences. She
calls her workshops PALS
(Parents and Peers Assisting
Learners). Mrs. Wilsted tells
parents and teachers:
“There are ways to turn on
“tuned-out” students. Learning to read can be as socially-stimulating as learning to talk.” Mrs. Wilsted
believes that modeling, interacting and participation
are three keys to engaging
children, especially those
who struggle with reading.
“Now Johnny CAN Learn
to Read”, the book Mrs,
Wilsted wrote describing
the reading strategies will
be available for sale. Those
who attend will take home
a packet of reading materials with which they can
practice the reading strategies that are modeled.
