Good afternoon. It is unfortunate that we even have to take time to make a post like this. However, we are looking for information related to the vandalism at our VFW field. If anyone has any information as to who would have spent time ruining home plate, ripping out bases and throwing them on top of the dug out, breaking brooms, spilling field dry, digging holes etc., please let us know. A handful of men put a lot of work into taking care of this field and a lot of girls depend on using it for their softball season.
We are very disappointed. Please reach out if anyone knows who might have spent some time here in the last 24 hours. Port Allegany Youth Baseball Association

This weekend, Hamilton-Gibson Productions presents Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, the Broadway hit by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, first mounted in New York in 1982 after being developed in the UK throughout the 1970s. Interestingly, it was also during this time that the first productions of the musical Jesus Christ Superstar (also by Lloyd Webber and Rice) were being mounted, another show with biblical roots where the story is told completely through music, and dubbed a “rock opera”. Joseph tells the classic bible tale of jealousy, betrayal and reconciliation all through music, but because of the show’s unique variety of musical genres it is impossible to give one overall descriptor to its musical style.
MoreTwo new PA Wilds Conservation Shops have opened this year in the Pennsylvania Wilds. Operated by the nonprofit PA Wilds Center for Entrepreneurship (PA Wilds Center), these mission-driven gift shops help improve market access for rural entrepreneurs by sourcing 90 percent of their inventory from rural makers and businesses in the 13-county PA Wilds region, while also accomplishing other mission points.
In Tioga County, the PA Wilds Center has transitioned from a mobile Conservation Shop that it has operated for the last few years at Leonard Harrison State Park, at the PA Grand Canyon, to a permanent brick-and-mortar store. In Forest County, another store has opened within an historic train depot in Marienville, along the nearly 74-mile Knox and Kane Rail Trail.

MoreImpatient
by
Pastor B.J. Knefley
Impatient, who me? Never. Well almost never. Okay, maybe a lot. You would think that I would have developed patience over my lifetime, but I haven’t. For some things I can be very patient, while others, not so much. Why? What is the cause of our impatience? Why do some suffer from it more than others. Is there a healthy balance?
Surprisingly, impatience and anxiety go hand in hand. We might not view it as such, but it is. Jesus told us to be anxious for nothing but that doesn’t stop us, does it? I’ve often wondered if impatience and anxiety have more to do with being self-absorbed with what we want, when we want it, and how it makes us feel when things don’t go our way.
We live in a very ME focused society. What’s in it for me is often the filter that we use before we agree to do many things. To die to yourself is not a norm. After all, if I die to myself then what’s in it for me? No, we want what we want when we want it and dying to yourself doesn’t fit into that plan.
Instant gratification is all about impatience. Our society is dotted with fast food, instant coffee, and oatmeal just to name a few. What happened to the day when we’d sit around a meal, talk, and otherwise savor the moment of relationship. Instead, we’re interrupted with text messages, email notifications and phone calls that we just must take. Just the other day I was with someone whose phone was constantly chirping while we were trying to have a meal together. Is it any wonder why we all seem to be bothered by impatience when our world is constantly vying for our attention?
Admittedly I struggle with impatience. That, along with other idiosyncrasies, I struggle with the idea of letting Christ reign in my thoughts and actions. It’s a battle that I must die to daily and that’s the point. The only time that I have the power to overcome the impatience that plagues my life is right now, in this moment. Think about it.

Emporium Knights of Columbus Supports Dickinson Center
ST. MARYS, Pa (June 24, 2024)– The Emporium Knights of Columbus Council 990 and the Emporium Christabelle Club recently donated to Dickinson Center, Inc., a Journey Health System affiliate, for their “Building for Tomorrow” campaign supporting the St. Marys’ building project. Thanks to the collective generosity of individuals, foundations, businesses, and organizations like the Emporium Knights of Columbus and Christabelle Club, Dickinson has achieved 87% of its fundraising goal, reaching $1,301,021. However, they still aim to reach their $1.5 million goal, with $198,979 left to secure. Dickinson and the campaign committee extend their hopes that others will join in supporting their cause, recognizing that every contribution brings them closer to their objective.
“The generosity and commitment of the Emporium Knights of Columbus and Christabelle Club to the community are truly commendable,” said Tana Smith, Journey Health System’s Director of Institutional Advancement. “As a native of Emporium, this donation holds special significance for me, reflecting my father’s long-standing dedication to the Christabelle Club and Emporium Knights of Columbus. It also embodies the close-knit support and hometown spirit that make Emporium and our surrounding communities so incredible.”
