Tobin said Jacob McClellan went back into his home, and found his wife dying in the bedroom. “She was dead when emergency personnel arrived,” Tobin said, and her husband was taken to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W.Va.,

for treatment of his wounds. Tobin said that he was able to survive his injuries. According to Tobin, Jacob McClellan was able to provide little as far as a physical description of the suspect in his wife’s shooting death. Police immediately began to recognize some similarities to another homicide in the county, which occurred Nov. 21, 2008. “We also had a homicide Please see Cases, Page A2

Additionally, Tobin said that both suspects were in the scrap metal business, which is a cash-on-hand operation making them targets, and both were shot with a small caliber weapon.

Snoops Here comes the summer Hey, it’s ofďŹ cially summertime! Ah, can’t you feel it in the air? The weather is warm and sunny, the sky is blue and the birds are singing‌and of course, there are sightings everywhere of Greene County’s ofďŹ cial ower, the orange construction cones! You just know it’s the summer season in Greene County when you spend half the day stuck in trafďŹ c, wasting much of your gas while muttering a few curse words under your breath as you stare at the lovely sign that reads “Left Lane Closed Ahead.â€? Ain’t summer great? Seriously, I know that summer has only been ofďŹ cially in full bloom for just a couple of days, but I admit that all the construction, trafďŹ c and big truck sightings are already making me crazy. The gas and oil industry in Greene County continues to cause many county roads to be driven on all day and all night by an endless convoy of loud 18-wheel monstrosities that pollute the country air with diesel fumes and destroy the roads. Even in the small and rural area where I live, the narrow road in front of my house – a patch of pavement that I can fondly recall hardly ever having much trafďŹ c on it – continues to be a noisy, hectic expressway for humongous trucks from various coal, oil, gas, water and sewage companies that travel at all hours of the day and night. And sometimes these truckers, as well as other drivers, seem to think that my road (which carries a posted speed limit of 25 to 35 mph and is barely wide enough for two lanes of trafďŹ c) is the Autobahn. Between the speeding and reckless drivers, the noise and pollution from trucks, and now the ongoing construction of patching up the road as a result of this recent chaos, the once tranquil country setting of my home has turned into a big, fat headache for my wife and me. And don’t even get me started on the construction ďŹ asco that is going on in certain parts of Waynesburg. It’s bad enough that every day I have to deal with a ridiculous amount of trafďŹ c caused by the never-ending convoy of those 18-wheelers, but now, thanks to ongoing construction projects in several areas that will probably never end, there are staggeringly long lines of vehicles coming from different directions at all hours of the day. Ugh. Okay, now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, I am not going to complain any more in this column, because I am celebrating. The construction and trafďŹ c issues notwithstanding, the beginning of summer is absolutely my favorite time of the year. After months of suffering from the wintertime blues and feeling like a slug this past spring, I greatly anticipate these summer months because they make me feel better. What I love the most is that the days are longer and there are plenty of fun things to do. (Note to my wife: “Fun thingsâ€? does NOT include

mowing grass, planting owers, gardening or whacking weeds. Just thought you should know.) And speaking of summer fun, I am excited about performing my annual ritual during the ďŹ rst few days of summer: Putting together a long list of all the things I want to do and the places I want to go this summer. This makes me feel like a giddy teenager all over again because it makes me feel like I am planning “The Summer of Steve.â€? And the best part is, I get to include my son in many of these exciting endeavors. Let’s look at the list so far: Kennywood Park? Check. Sandcastle Water Park? Well, I’ll have to lose a few pounds before I even attempt to get my rear end in a bathing suit, but okay, check. We are also going to be hitting some fun local recreation spots, such as the Foundation Coal Aquatic Center (depending, of course, on the weight loss thing I mentioned before), Ohiopyle and one of my favorite hangouts, the Skyview Drive-In. (Buttered popcorn and two icks in the cool summer night breeze? I’m sure that’s what heaven is like.) There will also be plenty of fun fairs and festivals to attend here this summer, such as Rain Day and the Jacktown and Greene County Fairs. (By the way, be sure to check out the Messenger each week for complete coverage of the many local events being offered this summer.) What else is on the list? Okay, there’s my wife’s birthday and our 20th wedding anniversary to celebrate this summer, not to mention a number of terriďŹ c concerts, Pittsburgh Pirate baseball games, and my current favorite summertime activity, the Washington Wild Things games. I have to confess, I am a Wild Things junkie. I have already attended a few games this season and I just absolutely love the whole experience. The prices are cheap, the seats are great, the staff is friendly and the activities that are held throughout the game are very entertaining. Oh, and every now and then you might ďŹ nd yourself watching a great ballgame. Major kudos need to be given to the organization for making just about every minute of each game a ton of fun for family members of all ages. Hands down, going to a Wild Things game with your wife or hubby, your friends or family, or heck, even by yourself (as I have done) can be a really fun experience, and I guarantee you won’t ďŹ nd a better value for your dollar. If you have not attended a game at Consol Energy Park this season, then I suggest you get your butts there. For more info about the Wild Things and the 2013 season, check out their website at www.washingtonwildthings. com. So, yes, I am thrilled that summertime is ofďŹ cially here and I can’t wait to enjoy it.

If it’s in your computer, the feds have it The government’s massive and indiscriminate collection of electronic information is a genie that is not going back in the bottle. Recently came the revelation that the National Security Agency, described by The Washington Post as “the largest and most technologically sophisticated spying organization in the nation and possibly the world,â€? was gathering Americans’ phone records, who they called, how long they talked and any special “identiďŹ ers.â€? To actually listen to the conversations, though, the NSA needed a warrant from a special and secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance court, which hardly inspired great conďŹ dence since the court had apparently been routinely rubber-stamping three-month extensions of the warrant for seven years. Congressional oversight did not seem especially harsh, either, because at a hearing on the program several lawmakers seemed intent on determining, that whomever else NSA was listening to, members of Congress were not among them.

NATURE’S CORNER Same Old, Same Old By Ken W. Dufalla

Living in this area for over 65 years, I have come to notice certain patterns that occur in our water ways. One thing that has been very noticeable over the past 50 years is the problem of rain water drainage from the Mather Dump. Time and time again, it seems every time there is a heavy rain in and around Mather, Ten Mile Creek turn a gray color from the dump to the Mon River. Over the years, when I was with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, I had to investigate the cause of this water problem, as well as the ďŹ sh kills that sometimes took place during this grey water discharge. Each time, the investigation led to runoff from the Mather dump as being the point source. At that time, the dump was controlled by the Morgan Township Supervisors. No ďŹ nes were levied, time passed, and the problem continued. Eventually, the dump was turned over to the county, thus relieving the supervisors of any responsibility. This was a good thing because the county could then apply for grants and begin the process of dealing with the problem. On May 23, 2013, the problem raised its ugly head again and Ten Mile once again turned gray (same old, same old situation). With this problem reoccurring, I went back to my notes and data on the history of the Mather Dump. The following details are in this documentation. This information was sent to me by our former state representative H. Wm. DeWeese, who was very cooperative in the investigation at that time (2006-2007). The data is based on the Greene County Industrial Development Authority (GCIDA) and the funds received by the county to correct the

The disclosures are likely to prompt congressional scrutiny but not reform or even strict oversight.

The obvious question in the public mind: What else don’t we know? The answer was not long in coming – the next day, in fact. The NSA and the FBI, under a program called PRISM, were tapping directly into the servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies, vacuuming up audio and video chats, emails, photos, documents and connection logs. The companies were Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, YouTube, PalTalk, AOL, Skype and Apple. If the disclaimers by some of their corporate spokesmen are accurate, a number of these companies might not even have known they were under the wholesale surveillance of government spooks, although that is hard to believe. The point of the program is to identify and intercept terrorist networks and their plots. The program began under President George W. Bush. But as even President Barack Obama’s friends have pointed out, the program has been “embraced and expanded,â€? as one account put it, under the erstwhile civil libertarian. The law, intelligence ofďŹ cials were at pains to explain, does not allow the targeting of any citizen or other person living within the U.S.

problem. I received this data on July 10, 2006. In 1996, Morgan Township received $16,500 to undertake/complete an environmental assessment of the problem with the dump. In 2001, GCIDA received $1,726,850 for the Mather Gob Pile as Phase 1 (of 3 phases) from the “Growing Greener� funds. In 2001, GCIDA received $48,750 in additional funds as Phase II environmental assessment for the dump. In 2003, GCIDA received $2,971,394 for the Mather Gob pile as Phase II of Growing Greener funds. In 2004, the county received $75,000 for a county-wide Day Camp/Mather Design/ Aqua Community Center feasibility site. In 2004, GCIDA received $50,000 for a Mather Recreation Facility master site plan for Evergreene Technology Park. In 2004, GCIDA received $50,000 for an environmental assessment of potential development of a Mather Recreation Center. On January 18, 2007 at 9:15 a.m., an E-mail was sent from Tom Andrews to DeWeese and two other politicians dealing with the Mather Dump and requesting additional funds. GCIDA applied for another $5,000,000 from Growing Greener funds for the Mather Dump. At that time, according to Robbie Matesic of Greene County Economic Development, she hoped the work would be completed within the year. In 2006 and 2007 both Rep. DeWeese and Sen. Barry Stout each gave an additional $250,000 as a mini-grant to the GCIDA to assure the Mather Dump project would meet its completion date of June 30, 2007 (Application Number 7015984). This grant money was signed for by Richard L. Noftzger and Cassandra J. Bryan (Federal I.D.# 25-1801179). The CEO of GCIDA at that time was Joseph Simatic, and the contact person was Robbie Matesic, acting executive director. In the Sen. Stout

agreement and grant totaling $250,000, expenses and payment schedules were provided in detail. The scope of work therein was as follows: In March 2007, $75,000 for 30 percent of work completion; in April 2007, $75,000 with 60 percent of work completion; and ďŹ nally, in May 2007, $100,000 upon 100 percent of work completion. In 2006, an additional grant of $5,000,000 was requested for the Mather dump cleanup. The grant requested $250,000 for administration, $40,814 for contractual, $1,709,186 for construction and $3,000,000 for “other.â€? To my knowledge, this grant was denied since over $ 4.9 million was spent on the project previously, with little to no results. This brings us back to the problem with Ten Mile Creek. On May 23, 2013, the Electronic Conductivity (EC) of the stream increased (557 to 883) in a week, while the total dissolved solids (TDS) nearly doubled (272 to 444). This was totally different to what has happened in the past. On all previous occasions, when there was a marked increase in water ow, the EC and TDS both dropped signiďŹ cantly. The water’s appearance was a distinct gray color – the color of which I was all too familiar. Several members of the Citizens Water Monitoring program of the Izaak Walton League of America (IWLA), Greene County, were notiďŹ ed of the problem. The IWLA undertook an investigation and was able to pinpoint the source of the problem – it was the Mather Dump. The organization was greatly concerned about this runoff, since it ran directly through the IWLA’s Trout stocked area. One would think that after $4.9 million was spent to clean the dump, the problem would be solved. One thing that stands out in all of this is that matting was to be placed Please see Nature, Page A4

Flag Day ceremonies held in Greene County By Cindy Lee Cumpston, for the Greene County Messenger

On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress approved the design of a national ag and in 1949 President Harry Truman signed into law legislation designating that date as the national Flag Day. Prior to when President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation in 1916 establishing a national Flag Day on June 14, many localities and a few states had been holding Flag Day celebrations. Many communities, like Carmichaels, held special services honoring the 236th birthday of “Old Gloryâ€? and the 238th birthday of the United States Army, both of which are June 14. The Carmichaels Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3491 held a combined ceremony on Friday in honor of both events. Senior Vice Commander Dan Speelman conducted the changing of the ag ceremony performed annually on Flag Day retiring the ag which has been in service at the Post for the past year and raising a new replacement ag. Bill Hess presented a very informative history of the birth of the U.S. Army on June 14, 1775 Hess said when the American Revolution broke out; the revolutionaries ďŹ elded an amateur force of colonial troops, cobbled together from various New England militia companies. The American volunteers had no uniďŹ ed chain of command and were led, equipped, armed, paid for, and supported by the colonies from which they were raised. In the spring of 1775, these volunteers were about to confront Britain’s seasoned professionals near Boston, Massachusetts. The Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia, reportedly, at John Adams’ request, voted to “adoptâ€? the Boston troops on June 14 and voted $2,000,000 to support the forces around Boston. Congress directed ten companies of expert riemen from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia to march to Boston to support the New England militia. George Washington

Rachel Rohanna to compete at U.S. Women’s Open By Jim Downey, for the Greene County Messenger

Rachel Rohanna has done her fair share of driving this week, all in preparation for her second U.S. Women’s Open. Most of the driving, however, has been on the open road, not on a range. The week started with a junket from Decatur, Ill., to Dayton, Ohio, back home to Waynesburg. After a short stay at home, the Waynesburg Central graduate was on her way to relatives in Rutherford, N.J., which then led to the shortest/longest trek of the week to date, Long Island, N.Y., through New York City. “We went through New York at 8 a.m. It took 2½ hours to go 30 miles,” said Rohanna. A return trip back to Waynesburg closed the sojourn, all by Tuesday night. “I’ll have daily one-hour trips to Nemacolin, and then a 9-hour trip, I think, to New York on Sunday,” said Rohanna. Rohanna can only hope she does less driving on the 6,819-yard layout at Sebonack Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y., when play gets underway next Thursday. The first leg of the journey was after Rohanna secured her best professional finish to date, tying for 29th in the Symetra Tour’s Decatur-Forsyth Classic on June 14-16. She won $834 after finishing at 2-under 214 (73-68-73), the most money she’s won with her first sub-par finish professionally. “That was a big one, for sure,” Rohanna said of her play in Illinois. “It was a good week for me. I’m happy with that. “I was just ‘purring’ it. It’s good to know that I’m still hitting the ball well.” Rohanna enters the Open with a lot of confidence in her play tee-to-green. “My ball striking, I’m hitting my drives well. I’m confident with every club in my hand,” explained Rohanna. “I’m just striping it. It’s just a great feeling. At this level everyone is a great ball striker. I’m just trying to get those putts to fall.” Trying to get those putts to fall led to the New Jersey/

isn’t easy. “Right now, I’m feeling great.” Kestner, a West Virginia native, personally made the trip worthwhile, as well. “He was so nice. He teaches PGA players. He broke everything down,” added Rohanna. The final leg of her weeklong journey will be to Long Island to play Sebonack, built in 2006. The course is links-style, designed by Tom Doak and Jack Nicklaus. The card plays 6,819 yards (subject to change by the USGA) at par-72 (35-37). Rohanna’s first Open was at the Broadmoor in the thin air of mile-high Colorado two years ago. This time around she’ll be playing at sea level. “I don’t play links-style courses too often. The courses play to your creativity. I really enjoy that,” said Rohanna. “There will be a lot of bump and runs. I have a feeling the greens will be undulating. I really like undulating greens.” And, of course, the famed rough favored by the USGA. “Tee shots are the biggest thing. The fairways are tight and there is no primary cut. Roll off the fairway right into seven inches of rough,” said Rohanna. Rohanna had a different approach as she prepared for her second Open. “It’s knowing when to back off some shots and take a different club. There are a lot of bogeys out there. Not just for me, but for everyone. You just need to shake it off,” said Rohanna. “I can’t go for those miracle shots. Bump it out and take my medicine. I reminded my caddie (her uncle Richard Schwartz) of that. “It tests your patience. When they say par, (the USGA) doesn’t expect you to go under.” Rohanna also spoke of the difference of playing as a professional as opposed to as an amateur.

Copperheads look to defend FCBL title By Adam Brewer, for the Greene County Messenger

The Fayette County Baseball League is once again in the full swing this summer, and Carmichaels looks to defend its league championship in 2013. Last year, the Copperheads posted 24 victories and breezed past the opposition in the postseason en route to their ninth FCBL title. The nine titles tie the record in the modern era for the league. Going into last year’s playoffs, Carmichael was the top seed and swept Caleigh’s in the semifinals, and then took care of business in the championship series by beating Mitch’s Bail Bonds in five games. Despite the hugely successful season in 2012, everyone on the team knows that this is different season and that they cannot take anything for granted. One of those people looking forward to the challenges of repeating is veteran manager Dickie Krause. “It’s very hard to repeat in this league,” Krause said. “We have won the title several times, but it’s a challenge to go back-to-back. You got to have guys that don’t go

on vacation at the end of the season and you have to remain healthy in the playoffs. You got to have breaks in a season.” Krause also commented on the make-up of the squad as compared to last year’s title team. “As names and faces change in our line-up from year-to-year, our approach has stayed the same,” Krause said. “The new guys we have added this year have done a nice job of fitting in and producing for us right away. We got a great bunch of guys that work really hard and truly love the game of baseball. This might be the youngest team that I have had for awhile.” The top four teams will qualify for the postseason this year, and both the semifinal and championship rounds will be a best-of-five series. And like any other league

or season, Krause stated that whoever has the hottest pitching down the stretch will be successful in the playoffs. “Pitching is key in this league,” Krause said. “It has been like that for years. We have really seen some good arms at the beginning of the season. Dunbar has gotten a lot better, Mill Run has some younger arms going for them and Mitch’s and Belmont will always challenge you. Perryopolis (Company G) is new to the league this year, and they seem pretty tough. With this league being wooden bat and the growing depth around the league, anybody can beat anybody.” Offensively, the Copperheads will be led by some veteran players this year in JW Kayla, Chuck Gasti, Eric Holt, Scott VanSickle and Please see FCBL, Page B2

deserves Copperheads roll to 10-0 win Huntington credit for Pirates’ By Adam Brewer, for the Greene County Messenger

CARMICHAELS — In a rematch of last year’s Fayette County Baseball League championship series, the Copperheads of Carmichaels got the better of the play against Mitch’s Bail Bonds Wednesday evening with a dominant 10-0 victory at home. “I saw a lot of good things today,â€? Copperheads skipper Dickie Krause said. “I was a little bit worried because we haven’t been on the ďŹ eld for a week. I thought we might be a little rusty, but our guys came to play and they were prepared tonight. These guys take this league pretty serious and they know how to play the game.â€? The Copperheads (10-0) pounded out 12 hits, played error-free defense and had a solid pitching outing from Waynesburg University product, J. Jay Paskert. Paskert allowed just two hits and a walk in the second with four strikeouts in the complete game win. “This was Paskert’s second start of the season for us,â€? Krause said. “He was off for about four weeks from school before his ďŹ rst start, and even though he had the velocity of his fastball, he didn’t have the control. Tonight, he had great control and his pitch count was about 80 (pitches). He was very efďŹ cient in the game.â€? After allowing a

walk in the second inning, Paskert retired 10 straight batters before Andy Greene smacked a one-out double in the sixth for Mitch’s Bail Bonds. Carmichaels, who scored at least one run in each of the ďŹ rst ďŹ ve innings, got things started off in the bottom of the opening frame by loading the bases with no outs. Eric Holt lifted a sacriďŹ ce y to make it 1-0 early on in the contest. In the second inning, Scott VanSickle laced a RBI double that got past the visitors’ third basemen, followed by

a two-run single from Chuck Gasti to make it 4-0. The Copperheads’ Ron Nopwasky had a two-run single in the third, while Holt collected his second RBI of the game with a runproducing single in the fourth to make it 7-0. In the ďŹ fth, Carmichaels sent eight batters to the plate and added three more runs to its lead, courtesy of a bases-loaded walk to VanSickle and RBI singles by Tyler Delval and Seth Krall. “I really like our lineup,â€?

I can do well and should do well. There is no added pressure whatsoever.â€? In the U.S. Open last week at Merion, the USGA creatively grouped players for the ďŹ rst two rounds. Rohanna is looking forward to any grouping, with one caveat. “Who I play with really doesn’t bother me too much. I played on the guys team in high school with so many distractions,â€? said Rohanna, adding, “Slow

Joby Lapkowicz will resume his duties of closer and dependable reliever for the Copperheads, as well. “I think every year I have been involved in this league, I have appreciated it more,â€? Krause said. “I appreciate the game, I appreciate the guys that play on all of the teams and I appreciate the fans of this league. I love this atmosphere. It really means a lot to me to be in this league, and I just want to continue to see this league grow and ourish over the next couple of years.â€?

‘My Bike’ program gives freedom to 6 children By Cindy Lee Cumpston, for the Greene County Messenger

WAYNESBURG – Six Greene County children were beneďŹ ciaries Wednesday of the mission of Variety the Children’s Charity to help children with mental and physical disabilities to realize the freedom of accessibility. Variety CEO Charlie LaVallee was on hand as ďŹ ve special needs children received an adaptive bike through Variety’s “My Bikeâ€? program that was generously sponsored by the Greene County Memorial Hospital Foundation, and the sixth child received her adaptive bike sponsored by generosity of the employees of First Federal Savings and Loan of Greene County. The “My Bikeâ€? Program, which was launched in November, was created to provide adaptive bikes to children with disabilities, so they too can enjoy the freedom of riding a bike. Since the program began, more than 300 children with disabilities have received an adaptive bike throughout Variety’s 10-county service area.

Town and Country Garden Club holds Flower Show By Cindy Lee Cumpston, for the Greene County Messenger

CARMICHAELS – The Town and Country Garden Club on Saturday held its “Memories of Grandmaâ€? Flower Show at the American Legion in Carmichaels. The club is a member of the National Garden Clubs, Inc. (NGC) and sponsored the Standard Flower Show as a NGC member club. The term “Standard Flower Showâ€? is the ofďŹ cial title of a ower show conforming to standards established by NGC. As outlined by the NGC, the purposes of a Standard Flower Show are to educate club members and the viewing public, to stimulate interest in horticulture and oral design, to provide an outlet for creative expression, and to convey to the community the objectives of NGC. Fresh plant material must be emphasized throughout the show and the schedule must be written with specific wording that includes all essential details of the show. The show must include a Horticulture Division and a Design Division. It must be judged by a panel or panels of NGC approved judges, and it must be judged by the NGC Standard System of Awarding. The show, which was open and free to the public,

The NGC standard system of awarding which gives ďŹ rst, second, third, and honorable mention in each class was used by the panel of nine judges. All exhibits, whether horticultural or artistic, were to have an emphasis on fresh plant material, although dried plant material was acceptable where appropriate. No artiďŹ cial plant material

Children’s Bible Ministries offers summer camp By Cindy Lee Cumpston, for the Greene County Messenger

CARMICHAELS – Children’s Bible Ministries (CBM), founded in 1935, began as a national organization primarily focusing on teaching Bible lessons to elementary school students. Today the ministry has expanded to include camping and outreaches to all ages. In 1970 CBM began its work in Southwestern Pennsylvania (SWPA) offering Released Time Bible classes, Mailbox Club Bible lessons and summer camping. CBM of SWPA offers religious instruction classes for one hour per week at off of school property locations and at no cost to the public to area students currently reaching 700 public school students on a weekly basis. Missionaries and volunteers teach character based Bible lessons and encourage Bible memorization in these weekly classes which run from September through April. They have also offered quality Christian camping experiences to thousands of boys and girls renting various camps to host their summer camp for the ďŹ rst 39 years. In 2007 all that changed when CONSOL Energy decided to donate a former mine portal to the organization. Judy Virgili, CBM executive director said,

Question: Would you be willing to pay more in taxes to improve Greene County’s roads and bridges? Pia Crouse

Amanda Pattison

Jefferson

Morris Township

Yes, our roads are some of the worst roads in the state and I think we definitely need to have the roads and the bridges ďŹ xed.

Yeah, I guess. The roads need redone because of all the gas drillers who have destroyed all the roads.

No, because I think the taxes are high enough. They should have the money they need to do the roads in Greene County.

April Kennedy

Carol Carter

Waynesburg

“

Yes, because we actually really need roads fixed in Greene County. There are so many roads that need ďŹ xed that it is not funny. I have lived in Greene County all my life and I have seen some rough roads.

Each week, the Messenger will ask the people who live and/or work in Greene County their thoughts and opinions on different topics.

Bowlby Library announces upcoming events The Eva K. Bowlby Public Library in Waynesburg recently announced the following upcoming events. I Beginning June 24, the library will be operating on its summer business hours: Mondays, 12-7 p.m.; Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 10 a.m.-7 p.m.; and Fridays and Saturdays 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. I The library will be closed Thursday, July 4, for Independence Day. I The Bowlby Library is offering a Summer Reading Program for kids ages 6-12 and the theme this year is “Dig Into Reading!� Children enrolled in our Summer Reading Clubs will experience a different

had an interest in the store, and Dad asked me to make a decision about taking over. I ended up buying it that year and have been here ever since.� Like their father before them, Stockdale’s two children, Thea and Brad, worked in the store since childhood helping out by stocking the shelves and manning the cash register. Stockdale’s wife, Karen, kept the books, and took care of billing, inventory orders and paper work. “I couldn’t have done it without her,� Stockdale said. When asked how things had changed over the years, he said he tried to maintain the structure of the original building but did add on two sections; one for his feed inventory, another for additional food items. “The only thing that’s permanent is change,� he said. “Since I took over, the concept of the general store remained the same, but the products and the companies that made them changed, and we adapted to it.� The biggest impact that he remembers is the completion of Interstate 79 in the area in 1966. The new thoroughfare doubled the store’s gasoline sales, but, because people had easier access to other

theme every Wednesday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. In conjunction with the reading clubs, the Family Literacy Department is enrolling children in their “Dig Into Learning� program where the concentration will be on social studies, science and math skills. Elementary aged kids will be exploring topics such as: Wild about Worms, Dynamic Dinosaurs, Marvelous Mummies, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Rock & Roll, and Underground. Children will also be able to participate in a special challenge program called “Gnome, Sweet Gnome.� All the summer fun begins Monday, July 8. A free lunch and movie will also be provided for children every

markets, the store’s inside sales declined. “We were once what I consider a superette with a whole line of groceries,� he said. “We used to cut a full line of meat, but scaled back to a deli concept selling lunch meat and cheese soon after the interstate was completed.� During Stockdale’s ownership, the store employed eight to ten people plus his wife and children. Over the last 30 years, he became a Purina agent, selling food for dogs, cats, horses, goats, cattle and sheep. The store’s line of work boots also expanded to include the Rocky and Wolverine brands. Besides selling a gamut of general store goods, the store also became a meeting place for area residents and politicians alike. Archie Trader, Chuck Morris, Dave Coder and Tim Solobay come in frequently, and Stockdale considers Pam Snyder a good friend. Bill DeWeese held town meetings in the store, and Representative Tim Murphy recently scheduled a town meeting there as well. The store has also had its share of luminaries that include former Governor Ed Rendell and Chelsea Clinton, who stopped in twice. Now 66, Stockdale went through a bout with cancer last year. Following an operation, he said his perspective changed. “Running a store takes a lot of time,� he

Wednesday during the Summer Reading Program. Summer Reading Clubs are as follows: Young adults (ages 13-18), Wednesdays at 4 p.m.; school age children, Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. for ages 6-8 years and Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. for ages 9-12 years; preschool, Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. for ages 3-4 years and Tuesdays at 1:30 p.m. for ages 4-5 years; Toddler Share, Tuesdays at 5 p.m. for ages 18-35 months and Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. for ages 18-35 months; Stories Under the Moon, Wednesday at 5 p.m. for ages 3-6 years; and Baby Lapsit, Thursdays at 1 p.m. for ages birth-12 months. School aged children have

said. “After the operation, I began wanting to spend more time with my family and let someone else take the store into the future. Deciding to sell the store was a hard decision. Giving it up after all these years was hard; it’s like losing a best friend.â€? Since relinquishing control of the store on May 1, he said he’s enjoying his time off, seeing more of his family, including his granddaughter, Emma, who lives in nearby Washington. He’s also been asked by Coen Oil to serve as a consultant and goes down to the store early each morning to visit friends and employees, about 80 percent of whom have been retained by the new management. One of the employees, Mary DiBuono of Ruff Creek, has been a clerk at the store for the past ďŹ ve years. “Nothing major has changed since the new owners took over,â€? she said. “We’re still trying to keep the general store concept going.â€? Ruff Creek native, David Phillips, the store’s new general manager, said Stockdale gave him his ďŹ rst job at the age of 13 when the store’s gas station went full service. He worked there until he graduated from Waynesburg High School in 1987 and enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania at Edinboro, where he majored in communications and computer science.

the option of staying all day and alternating between Dig Into Reading program and the Dig Into Learning programming in the Family Literacy Department. Teens can participate in the “Beneath The Surface� program, and adults can participate in the “Groundbreaking Reads� program. To register for any summer reading program, call 724-627-9776. I The Bowlby Book Club will be meeting on Tuesday, July 16 at 5 p.m. The book discussion will be “Murder in Greene� by local author John Dorean. New members are welcome and encouraged to attend. For more information, call 724-627-9776.

Following graduation, Phillips worked as a land surveyor, then segued into restaurant management in the Pittsburgh area. His last job before moving back to Ruff Creek last fall was food and beverage manager for the Montour Heights Country Club in Moon. Currently overseeing eight employees, including himself, Phillips said the store is in a good location at the juncture of Routes 19 and 221 and serves both local residents and trafďŹ c off the Interstate. “Luckily, Coen Oil is owned by two men originally from Greene County who recognize the history here,â€? he said. “While there will be some changes, like sprucing up the

interior and exterior of the building, the changes won’t happen overnight.� Phillips believes that managing the store is a good opportunity. “Because I’ve known Raymond (Stockdale) all my life, this position means a lot to me, and I’m looking forward to carrying on the store’s tradition,� he said.. From his home in Ruff Creek, the now retired Stockdale has nothing but good words for the new owners. “I think Coen Oil will do a good job running the store,� he said. “We’ve sold their products since 1961, and I grew up knowing the owners of the company. I feel the store will be a good part of their organization.�
