Venango Chamber Orchestra

The musical group celebrates 25 years

with a concert. Page 2

The Tiger Maple String Band will per-form Friday, Nov. 10, as part of the Oil City Arts Council’s Winter Concert Series.

The concert featuring this bluegrass band will be held from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the Great Room, located on the first floor of the National Transit Building at 206 Seneca St., Oil City.

Tickets are $10 per person for non-members of the Oil City Arts Council and $8 per ticket for those who are mem-bers. Tickets for the event may be pur-chased at the door.

Tiger Maple String Band is described as an energetic collection of talented musicians dedicated to continuing tradi-tional and original old time music.

Residing in northwest Pennsylvania, band members said the rural setting gives

them plenty of inspiration towards the continuance of acoustic music.

This acoustic group consists of six talented musicians.

Justine and Alison Parker, Suzuki trained violinists, offer a repertoire of old time fiddle tunes. The young ladies rank among some of the best young fiddlers on the East Coast.

Barry Smith on the Clawhammer Banjo brings a colorful texture of Appalachian banjo, giving rich rhythms with bright melodies to every tune.

Fred Parker plays acoustic guitar and violin. His knowledge of old time music shines through on both instruments. Solid instrumental backing gives the vocals a chance to be warmly shared with every-one in the group.

Lori Burke is the most recent addition to the group. She sings and plays her old Gibson in the traditional old-time style. Burke’s harmony with Parker’s vocals lights the way to the soulful meaning of each piece the band performs.

The overall sound has historical val-ues and full body richness that only acoustic instrument music and clear vocals can bring.

Tiger Maple String Band welcomes challenges from a variety of different musical directions. Starting with old-

time Appalachian fiddle tunes, to Scottish ballads, with Irish jigs, and Cajun waltz-es, are a few styles which are covered during a set.

“Upbeat rhythms and big smiles are what we bring to every show. Tiger Maple strives to keep the listeners’ toes-a-tapping and fingers snapping for hours,” band members said.

The next concert in the arts council’s Winter Concert Series will be held on Friday, Dec. 8, and will feature the popu-lar area Windy River Band.

This year marks a quarter century of musical excellence with the 25th anni-versary performance of the Venango Chamber Orchestra Sunday at the Barrow-Civic Theatre in Franklin. The concert is free and begins at 3 p.m.

Light refreshments will be provided in celebration following the concert. The concert is free, but donations will be accepted.

Over the past 25 years the music selec-tions played by the Venango Chamber Orchestra have been varied and challeng-ing, running the gamut from the popular, patriotic, and whimsical, to the readily recognized classics beloved by everyone.

During this time the orchestra has given many young musicians their first orchestral performance opportunity. It continues to provide the community the only local opportunity for regular live

orchestra performances twice each year.The 46 members of the Venango

Chamber Orchestra are dedicated musi-cians who come from all over western Pennsylvania.

They not only enjoy playing music as a group but delight in bringing the beauty of music to the local community. The cultural richness of Venango County is greatly enhanced by the variety of musical experi-ences available here throughout the year.

“The orchestra greatly appreciates the community support it receives and looks forward to providing continued musical enjoyment to the public for many years to come,” members said in a press release.

Orchestra personnel include first vio-lin, Nancy Simpson, Art Reichenfeld, Karen Spuck, Jan Reichenfeld, Helen Lowe, Sherry Dieringer and Adonna Zachs-Jordan;

CLARION — Clarion University Minority Student Services and Phi Kappa Phi fraternity will host a performance of the Allegany River Indian Dancers at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Gemmell multi-purpose room. The group’s intent is to preserve Iroquois history and culture through dance.

“We not only present the dances but offer an opportunity for our audiences to participate and try some of the dances. It’s a hands-on experience for your commu-nity,” said Bill Crouse, a member of the Seneca nation and leader of the dancers.

The Allegany River Indian Dancers performed for Clarion University in 2009. Rogers Laugand, director of Minority Student Services, referred to the program as “edu-taining and engaging.”

The event will seek to educate people on historical and cultural aspects of the Iroquois nation without “disclosing that which is ceremonial, religious or sacred to their people.” Various dancers, singers, storytellers and artists will be showcased, shedding light on many different parts of the culture. The Iroquois alliance of nations is made up of people and cultures of six different eastern woodlands tribes: Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk and Tuscarora nations.

Most of the presenters are residents of the Allegany Indian Reservation, located about 50 miles south of Buffalo, New York, and many are members of Crouse’s family.

The performance is free and open to the public.

Clarion commissioners address lightning, budget transfers

CLARION — Some say lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice, but the Clarion County commissioners aren’t counting on it.

After a lightning strike took out thou-sands of dollars of electrical equipment at the county courthouse in June, the com-missioners are taking action to ensure planned renovations to the courthouse and the accompanying annex project will be protected from lightning strikes.

Commissioners Wayne Brosius, Butch Campbell and Greg Faller approved en-tering into an agreement with Ace Light-ning Protection Inc. of Pittsburgh for consultation services during the court-house renovation and annex project at a cost that is expected to be $2,800 but which is specified not to exceed $4,000.

Faller said this is the same company that installed lightning protection equip-ment when the courthouse was renovated several years ago.

“They will essentially come in and make sure we have continued protec-tion,” Faller said.

Campbell said the company will do a comprehensive assessment and needs analysis regarding lightning protection.

“They will make sure our facilities are absolutely protected against lightning strikes,” Campbell said.

The damage caused by the June storm is estimated at upwards of $25,000, something the commissioners said they don’t want to see happen again.

“As everyone knows, we have had a history of lightning strikes in Clarion County and at the courthouse, and it can become quite costly,” Campbell said.

The company will not be installing any equipment at this time.

“They will just come in to say what our needs will be,” Campbell said, add-ing, “We want to make sure our facility is as safe as possible.”

Budget questionsQuestions arose over budget transfers

approved within several departments in which funds were taken from “retirement” to other areas. Five of the 23 budget trans-fers approved by the commissioners were from “retirement” to other budget areas.

Those five transfers were for a total of $25,500, or about 68 percent of the total of $37,204 for all 23 approved budget transfers.

Campbell said these transfers do not mean the funds are coming from the county employees’ retirement fund.

“This is not a reflection on that account, but rather a budget line item,” Campbell said.

The budget is essentially a best guess of what each line item will need. Since it is made prior to the beginning of the year, it is regularly adjusted as the year goes on, Campbell said.

Brosius noted the county contributes its own portion to the balance of its em-ployee retirement portfolio.

Campbell explained the line item for “retirement” is essentially over-budgeted for county contributions within those departments.

“The salaries listed in the budget wereeffectively over-budgeted, and as a re-sult, so were the retirement contributionsfrom the county,” Campbell said.

This means when other areas in thebudget for each department becomestrained, the county can make transfersfrom the line item for “retirement.”

“This will be happening more andmore as the year goes on,” Campbellsaid. “We expect to see many more trans-fers from ‘retirement’ to other areas.”

In other business, the commissioners: Approved a request by the Clarion

Chamber of Business and Industry to useVeterans Memorial Park and gazebo fora Nov. 29 Christmas parade and party.

Approved a proclamation declaring November as Adoption Awareness Monthin Clarion County.

Approved two new vehicle leases withClarion Ford for Children and Youth Servicesthrough the Ford Municipal Lease Program.

Clarion County Children and Youth Ser-vices will lease a 2015 Ford Taurus withfront wheel drive and a 2015 Ford Focuswith annual lease installments of $11,292and $537 in fees for each vehicle.

CYS Director Kay Rupert said thelease agreement contains unlimited mile-age and free annual inspections.

Approved a contract renewal forCYS with George Junior Republic ofPennsylvania for residential placementfrom Oct. 1 through June 30, 2015.

The cost will be $89 to $353 per day, witha county match of 10 to 40 percent depend-ing upon the nature of the services provided.

Franklin library plans November programs

E M L E N T O N — The Billy Price Band and Soulful Femme will perform at 7 p.m. Saturday at The Crawford Center, 511 Hill St., Emlenton. The per-formance is present-ed by the Allegheny RiverStone Center for the Arts.

Officially recog-nized as a Pittsburgh Rock ’n Roll Legend, Price has been known for decades as one of the finest soul men in the business. His national and interna-tional profile dates back to the early 1970s when he formed the Rhythm Kings, toured as Roy Buchanan’s singer and later fronted the hugely popular Keystone Rhythm Band.

His album with Chicago soul singer Otis Clay, “This Time for Real,” received a 2016 Blues Music Award by the Blues Foundation of Memphis, Tennessee, in the category of Best Soul Blues Album.

His band’s fifth CD, “Alive and Strange,” was recorded live and was released in April.

Soulful Femme will open the concert with the blues singing of Stevee Wellons and the guitar playing of Cheryl Rinovato.

Having spent years playing blues, soul, jazz and rock music around the country, Wellons, Rinovato and three other seasoned musicians formed the Stevee Wellons Band and they have been burning it up in the Pittsburgh area ever since.

In 2016, the band represented the region in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, which provided encouragement and inspiration for the group to bring their own mix of blues and soul music to the club and concert circuit in Pennsylvania and record their first full-length CD.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for students.

They can be purchased online at at www.alleghenyriverstone.org or by call-ing (724) 659-3153 to reserve.

C L A R I O N — Seneca Rocks Audubon will sponsor a pro-gram titled “ P a t a g o n i a : Nature at the End of the Earth” at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the lower level of the Clarion Free Library.

It is free and open to the pub-lic.

Jeffrey Hall will present the program. Hall is a member of Seneca Rocks Audubon and also Bartramian Audubon Society, where he serves as president. He has given more than 100 programs for birding, nature and photography groups. He is a retired biology instructor. He lives in Franklin.

The Patagonia region of southern Chile and Argentina has long been a lure for those who seek adventure or solitude

or natural wonders, according to Hall. Vast plains, snow-capped mountains,

and iceberg-laden glacial lakes are the setting for an almost startling variety of wildlife: Guanacos — the wild ancestors of llamas, flamingos, rheas and para-keets.

The Straits of Magellan and Tierra del Fuego host penguins, albatrosses, petrels and more. This presentation will survey many of the highlights of Patagonia.

SLIPPERY ROCK — The Magnificent Monarch Butterfly will be the subject of a pro-gram at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 13, at the Jennings Environmental Center.

Kimberly Vensel, also known as the Butler Butterfly Lady, is a Butler County photographer who also happens to have a passion for the monarch butterfly. She has been raising monarchs for eight years and has successfully raised and released more than 3,000 mon-arch butterflies to date. She has taught thousands about the importance of mon-archs through her educational presenta-tions and will be teaching about the amaz-ing transformation of monarchs — from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly — during the program.

She will talk about why monarch butter-flies have fascinated scientists and non-sci-entists for decades. Topics will include their seemingly-impossible migration, why they choose the same location every year, how they get their and how they fly that far.

Refreshments will be served after the talk. There is no charge and the program is open to the public. This is one of Bartramian Audubon Society’s regular monthly programs, but people do not need to be a member to attend.

Bartramian Audubon Society is the chapter of the National Audubon Society serving Butler, Lawrence, Mercer and Venango counties.

The Jennings Environmental Education Center is located on Route 528, west of Route 8, approximately five miles south of Slippery Rock. There is a free, lighted parking lot.

Patagonia is topic of program on Wednesday
