“The Music Man” To Be Presented at Keystone High School

Keystone High School wel-comes everyone to come andenjoy a fantastic night of en-tertainment April 24th thruthe 26th as they present “TheMusic Man” beginning at 7:30pm.

Admission is only $5.00.The play encompasses over

seventy nine students partici-pating as cast members.TheMusic Man Synopsis:

The play is set mainly in thelittle town of River City, Iowa,in 1912, but the openingscene is on a moving train inwhich the dialogue of travel-ling salesmen and the musicalbackground beautifully simu-late the bouncy rhythm of thejogging train. Aboard thistrain the salesmen are discuss-ing the selling powers of oneHarold Hill, without realizingthat he is also one of the pas-sengers. Harold Hill gets offat River City and comes to thecentre of the town. There anold crony, MarcellusWashburn, tells him he willnever be able to work hisracket in this town: HaroldHill’s racket is to go fromtown to town and influenceits citizens to start a boys’band; then to abscond withthe money the townspeoplegive him for the purchase ofinstruments and uniforms.Marcellus further informsHarold that the main obstaclein River City is the town librar-ian/music teacher, Marian

Paroo, a “stuckup” sort of girl,who can becounted uponto see rightt h r o u g hHarold’s chica-nery. Un-d a u n t e d ,Harold Hill pro-ceeds to arousethe town’s en-thusiasm forstarting a boys’band by point-ing out the cor-rupt influence on their chil-dren of the local poolparlour (“Trouble”). WhenMarion Paroo appears,Harold tries to win her overwith his charm, but shebrushes him off rudely. ButMarian is a soft and sentimen-tal girl, as she reveals byspeaking to the stars(“Goodnight, My omeone”).

Inside the gymnasium ofMadison High School a patri-otic tableau is being given;Mayor Shinn follows with anaddress. Harold Hill demandsthe attention of the audienceand starts once again to ex-pound his ideas about a boys’band until the kids becomeinfected with his enthusiasm(“Seventy-Six Trombones”).Later the same evening,Harold Hill goes to the libraryto win Marian over to hiscause. He tries to impress herby telling her he is a “profes-sor” of music, a graduate of

the Gary, Indiana Univer-sity, in the gold medal classof 1905. But Marian tellshim in no uncertain termsthat he cannot mesmerizeor hoodwink her the wayhe had done the rest of thetownspeople. Thusbrushed off unceremoni-ously, Harold consoles him-self with the idea that, afterall, he has no possible inter-est in . . . continued on A-3

© 2012 CCS - Prepared as a public service to promote better dental health.From the office of: DR. DOMENICK DeFRANCISIS2016 Chicora Road, Chicora, PA 724-445-2558.

Not only does the buildupof the sticky, bacteria-ladenmaterial known as "plaque"increase the incidence of de-cayed tooth enamel, it alsopromotes "gingivitis" (in-flammation of the gums).When these sticky depositsof bacteria, mucus, foodparticles, and other irritantsaccumulate around the baseof the teeth, they exert atoxic effect that causes thegums to become irritated,red, and swollen, and tobleed more easily. Thesesymptoms are all signs ofgum disease. Left untreated,

gingivitis can develop intothe more serious conditioncalled "periodontitis," in-flammation of the mem-branes around the base ofthe teeth, which can lead toerosion of the bone holdingteeth in place and resultanttooth loss. To avert these po-tential problems, brush andfloss daily.

P.S. Because plaque col-lects on teeth on a daily ba-sis, it is necessary to brushand floss at least twice dailyto rid teeth of this potentiallyharmful material.

Tony Rossi, Director of Communications, The Christophers

Kerry Weber’s adventurouspursuit of practicing mercyhas made her life anything butboring. She volunteered withthe Special Olympics in col-lege and taught special edu-cation at a Navajo reservationthrough the Mercy VolunteerCorps after college. It was theidea of practicing all sevencorporal works of mercyover the 40 days of Lent, how-ever, that led her to write“Mercy in the City: How toFeed the Hungry, Give Drinkto the Thirsty, Visit the Impris-oned, and Keep Your DayJob.”

During an interview on“Christopher Closeup,” We-ber explained her approachto living out her faith: “I thinkthat being Catholic [involves]trying to deal with people inthe margins, reaching out topeople and trying to includethem in the body of Christ andthe larger Christian commu-nity.”

Lent’s focus on givingsomething up or adopting anew spiritual practice canpush us out of our comfortzones, which is one of the rea-sons Weber is fond of the sea-son. She calls it “a deliberatetime to build your relation-ship with Christ and otherpeople in a supportive com-munity.” That doesn’t meanLent is a joyride. Weber ad-mits that fasting can make hercrabby. But it also causes herto say, “If I’m hungry for oneday and this is how crabby Iget, imagine if I was hungryevery day…That discomfortforces you to think about whyyou’re doing what you’re do-ing” and hopefully move for-ward prayerfully.

Weber learned an impor-tant lesson about the home-less while volunteering at theSt. Francis Breadline in Man-hattan, which hands out sand-wiches and drinks everymorning at 7. She said, “Itended to look at people whoare homeless as either Christfigures or criminals. It was,‘Oh, they are Jesus’ or ‘I’d bet-ter stay away because I don’twant to get attacked.’ But it

was like interacting with anygroup of people. They areexamples of Christ, like ev-erybody else. But they are alsojust people, like everybodyelse, who have good days andbad days.”

The ability to look beyondthe surface to see people’s hu-manity also came into playwhen Weber visited SanQuentin State Prison to writea feature for “America” maga-zine, where she serves as man-aging editor. She was sur-prised at how normal theprisoners seemed.

She explained, “When Iwent in, I didn’t know any ofthe crimes of the men that Ispoke with. When I left, Icouldn’t help but look upsome of these things, and itwas such a strange discon-nect to think these peoplethat I spoke with were reallynice and welcoming in thiscontext. They have doneother things that are truly hor-rific. To reconcile those twothings takes some work…Idon’t think any of us are in-herently evil. A different up-bringing or a different set ofcircumstances, and we couldbe people who are in prison. Ithink the line between that isa lot thinner than mostpeople think.”

Weber is heartened that herbook is already inspiringother works of mercy. Shesaid, “I got a nice email from apriest who said he talkedabout the book in his homily.Two of his parish secretariescame in the next day and saidthey cleaned out their closetsand are donating all theseclothes because they were in-spired. It’s nice to hear thosethings, to feel like we’re all inthis together, that we’re build-ing a more merciful worldthrough the little actions thatwe do in our daily lives.”

Pitt has made the NCAA tournament 11 of the past 12 years.The team that has eliminated the Panthers 7 out of the 11times has advanced to the Final Four.

After 3 games Gregory Polanco can’t get to Pittsburgh quickenough.

I am not sure if I like the new baseball replay or not. Insteadof the always popular manager umpire arguments we nowget the manager asking for a replay.

Miguel Cabrera’s new contract pays him 98 cents per sec-ond 24/7.

Arkansas may have the smartest move of the year whenthey hired Jimmy Dykes to be their women’s basketball coach.Dykes has worked as an analyst for ESPN for years and if youlisten to his work you would know he knows everything thereis to know about the game. I doubt he ever makes a wrongmove or that his team ever loses a game. I truly believe hisbest work as an analyst was at the Nathan’s Hot Dog eatingcompetition where he was the pit reporter.

Thought of the week: Some people dream ofsuccess….others stay awake to achieve it.

Well, folks, the wait is almost over. This Saturday is theopening day of trout season in this part of the state. Inother parts, of course, the season is already in, but aroundhere, we always seem to get the short end of the stick,whether it’s deer hunting or trout fishing. Anyway, itseems, in some ways, that it’s been no time since wewere getting ready to hunt deer. In other ways, consid-ering the winter we had, it seems like ages ago. Anyway,trout time is upon us.

As much as I love trout season, there are a couple ofthings that sort of bug me. One of them is “Kids Only”areas. Now, don’t get me wrong. I think that it is greatto encourage youngsters to fish. I just don’t know aboutthe idea of doing it in Fish and Boat Commission troutwaters. After all, who buys a license to pay for thosefish? Not allowing them to fish for them, even for a fewdays, just does not seem right. It should be noted, aswell, that I have long been an advocate of junior fishinglicenses, starting at age twelve, just like hunting licenses. I personally know of people who have used a kid to getan extra limit for themselves.

With all of that said, I think it is great when privateorganizations buy trout and allow kids to fish for themexclusively. American Legion Post 488, in Brady’s Bend,does this every year, and the kids have a great time. ThePost pays for the fish, and the kids have the fun. Also, inour area, Denny Steiner, of Steiner’s Outdoors and More,does the same thing. Hats off to these folks. What theydo shows true dedication to the idea of kids having fish-ing fun.

Another thing that sticks in my craw is the notion of“Artificial Lures Only” areas. Last year, Bub and I, whoare ardent bait fishermen, travelled to a place we used tofish as kids. Much to our dismay, the area was labeled forartificial lures only. Imagine our disappointment. Again,it is just not fair. Those who fish there should pay more. It’s a real shame that Pennsylvania hunting and fishinghave started to cater to special interests at the expense ofus all.

Anyway, now to the actual fishing. When it comes totrout, I have two favorite baits. Those would be redworms and salmon eggs. I have caught trout on meal-worms and maggots, but the aforementioned two are myold standbys. A lot of anglers I know are really loyal tosalted minnows, but, try as I might, I just can’t seem tofish them properly. I am envious of those who can.

A lot of trout anglers are really into catch and release. Considering where I fish, I am not among them. I thinkthat it is doubtful that stocked trout survive the winter. Therefore, I find nothing wrong with keeping them. Asfar as I am concerned, there is no better breakfast than acouple of trout filets with eggs and home fries. Further,along that line, smoked trout is one of my favorite foods. As far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with keepinga fish to eat. How is that different from keeping a pheas-ant , grouse or deer?

Anyway, here’s hoping that everyone has a great open-ing day. I’ll probably fall into the creek, as iI am knownto do, but, despite that, I hope that I come home withsome delicious filets to eat.

Mike’s Commentary: Mike’s Commentary: Mike’s Commentary: Mike’s Commentary: Mike’s Commentary: The largest regular season crowd inPNC history, the first opening day walk-off homerun for thePirates since 1965 and the longest game ever played in Pitts-burgh at 5hours and 55 minutes and we are only in the 1st

week of the season. I know it is early, but, one thing thatseems glaringly obvious is that the Pirates need to improveoffensively. Their pitching staff has to be darn near perfectfor the Bucs to have a realistic chance of winning. With thatbeing said, if the Pirates can win 2 games in every 3 gameseries as they did against the Cubs, it will be a good year.

—Because of ongoing physical issues, Tiger Woods willmiss the Masters tournament. Whatever will CBS do? Here is anovel idea…..cover the guys that are actually in the tourna-ment and toward the top of the leaderboard.

Rep. Mike Kelly IntroducesInternet Stewardship Act of 2014

Bill would keep Internet freefrom foreign crack-downs

WASHINGTON — U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA) – a member of the House Ways and Means Commit-tee – issued the following statement today after introduc-ing H.R. 4367, the Internet Stewardship Act of 2014,which would prevent the Department of Commerce’sNational Telecommunications and Information Adminis-tration (NTIA) from ever surrendering critical functions ofthe Internet – currently stewarded by the United States –to any other body without explicit congressional approvalthrough the enactment of legislation signed by the presi-dent.

“The Obama administration’s plan to give up U.S. stew-ardship over vital functions of the Internet is extremelytroubling. Whether the administration acknowledges itor not, America has strong interests in ensuring that free-dom of speech and freedom of commerce are protectedon the Internet, for the benefit of American citizens aswell as for people worldwide.

“Since the 1990s, American protection of the Internethas provided reliability and certainty to Internet users –from individuals to businesses – in every corner of theglobe. The Internet Stewardship Act of 2014 would pre-serve this successful model from ever being changed un-less the president persuades Congress that it is the righttime to act through legislation. The power and reach ofthe Internet are far too important to liberty to ever besurrendered to forces that could potentially use theirpower to limit the Internet’s reach and suppress the freeflow of ideas.”

NOTE: The introduction of this legislation comes afterthe NTIA announced on March 14, 2014, that it intendsto relinquish control of the Internet Corporation for As-signed Names and Numbers (ICANN) on September 30,2015. The NTIA declared its intent “to transition keyInternet domain name functions to the globalmultistakeholder community” and that as “the first step,”ICANN must now “convene global stakeholders to de-velop a proposal to transition the current role played byNTIA.” According to leading media expert GordonCrovitz, writing in The Wall Street Journal, “Russia, Chinaand other authoritarian governments have already beenworking to redesign the Internet more to their liking, andnow they will no doubt leap to fill the power vacuumcaused by America's unilateral retreat.”

The first of three eagletshatched Friday inside a Pitts-burgh nest as the magicalmoment was captured by acamera and live streamed toviewers online. Then on Sun-day, a second egg hatched,bringing the count at the nestto two adults, two eaglets andone egg. The third egghatched on Wednesday, April2, 2014

Typically, bald-eagle eggsfollow a 35-day incubationperiod, meaning the first ofthe eggs to hatch at the Pitts-burgh nest came a little laterthan expected, while the sec-ond hatched a little early. Thethird egg was laid on Feb. 25,which would place it onschedule to hatch April 2,which it did.

Plans continue to livestream footage from the nestaround the clock through thenesting attempt taking placealong the Monongahela Riverin the Hays section of Pitts-burgh. The live stream can beviewed on the home page ofthe Pennsylvania GameCommission’s website,www.pgc.state.pa.us. Scrolldown the page and click the“play” icon to view.

The live stream offers arare, real-time look at naturein action. The live stream, a

Pennsylvania’s Most Famed Bald-EagleNest Has Three New Stars.

joint effort between the GameCommission andPixController Inc., launchedin late December and hasbeen open to 24-hour view-ing for the past several weeks.

There have been some in-teresting moments along theway.

On Feb. 26, for instance, araccoon paid a late-night visitto the nest, causing the nest-ing female to pop up to de-fend her eggs, flapping herwings and scaring the rac-coon off.

Just more than a monthlater, the three hatchingsshare the rank of the most sig-nificant highlight to date.

While nest-watchers alwaysare welcome online, thoseventuring afield for a firsthandlook at nesting bald eagles arereminded to keep their dis-tance.

While the bald eagle nolonger is listed as an endan-gered or threatened speciesin Pennsylvania, it continuesto be protected by federallaw, which among otherthings establishes a buffer toensure people stay at least660 feet from a nest.

Some eagles are more toler-ant than others when it comesto human activity. But any ac-tion that could flush an adult

eagle from the nest is a threatto successful hatching of eggsand fledging of eaglets. Keep-ing your distance is one wayto increase the chances ofnest success.

Guidelines on how to moresafely view bald eagle nestsare available on the “BaldEagle Watching in Pennsylva-nia” page under the “Wildlife”and “Watchable Wildlife” tabsat the Game Commission’shome page.

The bald-eagle nest livestream is the first of two livestreams soon to be availableto view at the GameCommission’s website.

A camera recently was in-stalled at a NorthamptonCounty site where ospreyhave nested for several years.Game Commission officialsbelieve an osprey nesting at-tempt, like that of the Hayseagles, holds the potential formany fascinating momentsthat, with any luck, would in-clude the hatching and fledg-ing of young.

After such a long and real winter it is predictable we are allseeing tell tale signs of spring. The warm rain proceeded byseveral days of sun, creates magically appearing carpets ofgreen as grass ends it hibernation. The browns and grays thathave haunted us these last days of March, are changing beforeour eyes, as if a giant paint brush is dabbing color on the land-scape, or the master computer is doing a photo shopmakeover.

Down river the ice reluc-tantly melts still piled inplaces along the banks, nearbridges, and stranded on is-land outposts dirty and fur-long. Daffodils emergereaching skyward and bytime this is printed will beopen with sunny yellowblooms.

Driving along back roads another sign of spring activity isapparent. Near Sligo off Walker Farm Road EQT Inc. subcon-tractor crews are preparing for the hydraulic fracturing of therecently drilled Royal Hueywell. A centralized waterimpoundment has beenbuilt to provide fresh wateras needed for the operation.A giant vinyl lined tanklooking like an oversizedswimming pool sits in themiddle of an earthendammed structure. Watertrucks are bringing in water and filling the tank. A crew is ex-tending an eight inch plastic pipeline fusing joints of each sec-tion so there are no mechanical connections that might possi-bly leak. The road has a fresh limestone coat and mulched and

seeded berms now line thesteep incline approaching thesite. Unofficially the“fracking” will begin soon. Onthe other side of the AlleghenyRiver in Allegheny Townshipon Sandy Point Road, a servicerig has been moved in at theEdgeMarc Energy Cratty wellsite. This too could be a signalthat development work in-cluding fracturing this wellcould begin soon. There is nolarge water impoundment areaon site. Each company has itsown methodology and theymay be planning to utilize thelarge rectangular metal por-table tank trailers to store wa-ter. The industry is claimingthey have greatly improvedwater management, reusingwater from one “frack” job tothe next. Contaminated watercan be recovered, treated, andrecycled back to a “frack” site.The former Franklin Brineplant is being retrofitted to beable to treat and restore waterback to the service contractor.The Altela CAES Water Treat-ment facility adjacent to thePiney Creek Power Plant inPiney Township is ready forthe spring rush of trucks withsophisticated technology totreat and recycle water back tothe “fracker”.

As always with the change ofseasons many things demandones attention, but certainlymore drive bys to follow. Re-turning to fresh green carpetsand the warming weatherchange also portends thethoughts of cutting the grass.Almost immediately thesespring musings are supplantedwith concerns of will the oldtrusty lawn boy start. Beyondthat one can look forward tothoughts while mowing, wel-come Spring.

Thoughts About The Signs of Spring

Alligators from the grassymarsh of the St. Johns River &Lake Poinsett, FL.

Knowing how The Progress News readers like seeingwildlife photos, I thought I would share these vacationphotos with you.

While visiting our daughter in Cape Canaveral FL, wedecided to take an air boat ride to see the alligators, andother wild life along the St. Johns River & Lake Poinsett inCocoa FL. The tour boat captain said our tour was one ofhis best sightings of alligators. In this one spot alone therewere seven out sunning themselves. (4 seen in photoabove) We also saw wild horses, cattle,birds and a turtle.

At Merritt Island National WildlifeRefuge, Titusville FL, we saw many birds,Manatees, an eagle, a Roseate Spoonbilland this ham of a pelican at the Cape.Dave Staab, editor
