Aiming fora good time!

Women sign up for a day of learning at

Chicks in the Sticks.Page 2

The trio known as Selah has been committed to Christian ministry through music for 20 years. The group’s songs have sold in the millions, they have pro-duced a gold-certified album (which means the album sold over 500,000 units) and eight number-one singles.

The group’s signature hits include “You Raise Me Up” and “Wonderful, Merciful Savior.”

The trio is composed of Todd Smith, Allan Hall and Amy Perry. They have appeared at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium and the Grand Ole Opry, all the while carrying a message of hope and healing.

Selah will be appearing Saturday and Sunday at the Barrow-Civic Theatre in Franklin, where they will be singing songs old and new.

Selah’s newest recording is “Unbreakable.” A centerpiece of the album and its lead single, “I Got Saved,” lit a personal fire in Smith such as he had not felt since first hearing “You Raise Me Up.” He agreed to do anything necessary to get it on the record.

Smith said, “There’s such a power in the lyric. It reminded me of when I accepted Jesus as a 5-year-old in a small town church in Michigan, of that day and of all He’s brought me through since.” The lyrics say, in part,

“I’m undone by the mercy of Jesus / I’m undone by the goodness of the Lord

“I’m restored and made right / He got

a hold of my life“I’ve got Jesus / How could I want

more?”The ballad “Broken Ladders” struck a

similar chord with Perry upon her first hearing. The song’s message continues to serve as a powerful reminder of her worth in Christ each time she sings it.

“All You ever wanted was my heart / My heart, my simple heart

“To You that’s all that really matters.”Perry said, “The first time I heard it, I

just wept and wept in my car. I’ve spent a lot of years feeling not good enough,

Many people feel “the call of the coun-try,” including those who are tied down to a suburban style of living. Chicks in the Sticks is an annual program that brings an opportunity for women from all walks of life not only to experience the countryside for a while, but to learn skills appropriate to country living.

The program is sponsored by the Friends of Oil Creek State Park, and it is designed to introduce women to unfamil-iar, high-interest outdoor skills.

Chicks in the Sticks will be a full day of outdoor workshops for women ages 18 and older. It will be held Saturday, June 15, at Oil Creek State Park near the office in Petroleum Centre, and it will be held rain or shine. Participants are encouraged to watch the weather and dress appropriately.

The workshops will be hands-on, and the participants will produce an item, be introduced to a skill, or get materials that they can take home from each class.

Twenty-one workshops will be offered. The workshops will include many activi-ties such as basic kayaking, cycling, archery, modern fur taking, adventure foods, and back packing. Terrarium

building, painting a bird nest, pottery, leather working, making an alcohol micro-stove from a pop can, and the art of wood burning are examples of work-shops where women will have the oppor-tunity of making an item to take home.

Participants will also be able to choose workshops where they will learn about such things as the medicinal uses of herbs, bee keeping, bird identification, how to identify invasive species, and fly casting/fly fishing.

“Come Forest Bathing” is a workshop about using your senses to take in the sights, sounds, smells and tastes that sur-round you in the forest.

The day will consist of each woman choosing four workshops: two in the morning and two in the afternoon. All workshops will be presented by trained instructors. All materials and equipment will be provided. Participants may also take their own equipment.

In addition to the classes and lunch, there will be a 50/50 raffle, Chinese auc-tion and items for sale from Friends of Oil Creek State Park.

Registration is necessary, and will close on June 7. The cost is $45, which

will include a catered lunch with drink, a T-shirt, all materials for the classes, and a bag with goodies.

Creek’s website at friendsocsp.org and click on Chicks in the Sticks. For ques-tions people may email Christine Owens at: cowens8284@gmail.com, or call 677-0050.

not pretty enough, and over time I’d got-ten to a place of nothing being good enough, trying to meet the impossible fake-perfect standards of Instagram and Pinterest, expectations no woman could ever achieve. ‘Broken Ladders’ broke open something inside me, allowing me to let those impossible standards go, to lay those insecurities at His feet so He can do His work in me.”

“People of the Cross,” a poignant song about the persecuted Church, is particularly important to Smith. He co-wrote the song as a response to the mur-der of 21 Egyptian Christians at the hands of ISIS, and as a reminder to pray for those who suffer for their faith.

“Jesus, we will be faithful ‘til you meet us / Give us Your courage as we finish

“We want to hear ‘well done’ / We are the people of the cross.”

The new album is a mixture of new selections along with beloved hymns and standards, from the African-influenced “This Little Light of Mine” (a tribute to Smith’s missionary heritage) to the clas-sic “Got Any Rivers” to the gospel med-ley of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot/I’ll Fly Away.”

“Unbreakable” concludes with a bene-diction of Hope: “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.”

Hall said, “Hymns have always been foundational to what we do and who we are. We sang ‘It Is Well With My Soul’ at a youth conference one time and were congratulated by a teenager afterward for

writing such a ‘cool song.’ I explained to him where the song came from, showed him a hymnal and told him it was chock-full of other really ‘cool songs.’ Parents are always telling us, ‘the only way our kids know these hymns is because we sing along in the car with you.’ If we’ve played a small part in keeping hymns alive for future generations, I feel like we’ve accomplished a dream.”

Saturday’s performance will open at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday’s performance at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $25-$30 and may be obtained by calling the theater at 437-3440.

The theater is located at 1223 Liberty St., Franklin.

New art gallery to openGallery BC, the newest art gallery in

northwestern Pennsylvania, announces its grand opening, which will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. today.

The gallery will feature the paintings of Oil City resident artists, Margaret Brostrom and George Cooley. The two artists came to Oil City nearly 10 years ago through Oil City’s artist relocation program; Bostrom from San Francisco and Cooley from Boston. The artists have been producing their art in Oil City and exhibiting at a variety of venues in and out of the area.

Brostrom and Cooley have been awarded several state grants to organize community art projects in Oil City. Both artists are involved in Oil City art and community organizations, including their own organization, Art Inside.

It seemed a natural progression for the two artists to open their residence as a gallery. The house is a Colonial Revival building situated in the historic South Side on what used to be known as

“Millionaires Row.”The gallery dedicates 900 square feet

of the first floor to the exclusive display of Brostrom’s and Cooley’s art. The rooms were emptied and repainted, gal-lery lighting installed, and paintings hung, to provide open spaces showing their paintings in the best conditions for the viewer.

The grand opening is a free event with beverages and hors d’oeuvres.

Gallery BC is located at 109 W. Second St. in Oil City.

The gallery will also be open Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. Thereafter, the gal-lery will be open by appointment. Questions may be directed to (814) 428-3826 or Info@Gallery-BC.com.

Bridal display and tea setA Victorian tea is planned for Saturday

to mark the opening of a bridal display spanning the ages at the Venango County Historical Society, 307 S. Park St., Franklin. The tea will be held at 2 p.m., and will feature food and settings remi-

niscent of an era when the Egbert-Mullins-Koos house (the property now housing the Venango County Historical Society) was the center of many social functions.

The wedding exhibit will display dresses, photographs, and other artifacts and will feature a number of Venango County brides. One such is Elizabeth Bostwick, who married in 1888 and whose gown will be on display.

Another bride to be featured will be her youngest daughter, Elizabeth Mullins, who married on Dec. 8, 1923. Her wed-ding reception was held in the Park Street home that now houses the histori-cal society.

Reservations are required for the tea and may be made by calling 432-8260. The cost is $20 for the tea and tour.

Wildcatter Festival at vanished oil boomtown

This major event of the summer sea-son will feature living history demonstra-tions of 1860s life, including blacksmiths and coopers, open fire cooking, spinning, weaving, and more. Re-enactors from the 63rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry will provide insight into the Civil War. Walking tours, a movie, and museum guides will tell the story of Pithole City, the early oil industry, and the people who over 150 years ago made the Pithole Creek Valley and the surrounding hills known around the world.

The Wildcatter Festival will include activities for the entire family. Children can play games from the 1860s and enjoy a history based on-site scavenger hunt. Stories of the Oil Region will be shared by local storyteller Bill Stumpf.

Dwight Proper will demonstrate the then popular gambling game of Three Card Monte.

The Pittsburgh area-based band The Acoustic Shadows of the Blue and Gray will provide period music once so loved by the people of Pithole.

Honorary Pithole business leases will be for sale and the museum store will feature a selection of books and souve-nirs. Hamburgers, hot dogs, popcorn, and soft drinks will be available for pur-chase.

Special admission prices are $8 for adults (18+ years), $5 for youth (5-17 years) and free for children 4 years and younger.

Groups can take advantage of the event’s special group admission rate: purchase two adult tickets for $20 and receive three youth tickets free. Visitors are encouraged to take chairs and blan-kets for lawn seating.

Cook Forest French & Indian War Encampment

During the weekend of June 8-9, Cook Forest State park will host a series of living history events depicting life during the French and Indian War.

Highlights of this full two-day encampment sponsored by the Sawmill Center for the Arts include woodland natives, cannon and musket firing, cook-ing, primitive skills, 18th century surgi-cal techniques, blacksmithing, tinsmith-ing, pottery, children’s games, sutler camp, renown living historians, French & Indian War artisans, and live tactical engagements.

Lighthouse tours to begin June 8 in TionestaThe Tionesta Lions Club has set the

dates for 2019 Sherman Memorial Lighthouse tours as the second Saturday of the month in June, July, August, September and October. Self-guided tours of the six-story structure will be held from 1 to 4 p.m.

The Sherman Memorial Lighthouse has become a popular destination in north-western Pennsylvania. Privately owned by the Sherman Family, the lighthouse is open to the public on the dates given above, under the guidance of the Tionesta Lions Club.

All six floors and the basement can be accessed by the 76 spiral stairs. Admission will cost $5 for adults and $2 for children ages 13 to 18. Children age 12 and young-er will be admitted free of charge.

The towering 75-foot-tall creation gives a scenic view of the Allegheny River. The star on the top of the lantern

rooms is 100 feet above the island’s sur-face. The lantern room atop the timber frame tower is of aluminum and glass, and is 12 feet in diameter and 20 feet high, with an observation deck with guardrails around the outside.

The tower’s foundation is octagon shaped, of solid reinforced concrete, 2 feet thick and 18 feet in diameter. There is a basement within the foundation walls. The interior of the lighthouse is replete with inlaid hardwood floors and natural finish on laminated timber col-umns.

The lighthouse is located on Lighthouse Island along the Allegheny River at Tionesta. Directional signs are posted to help visitors find the site.

Information about private tours is avail-able by contacting Jim McGuire at (814) 755-3672 or jrmcguire@verizon.net.

Nice Selection of Annuals & Perennials Remaining

Students set for Dance-O-RamaThomas School of Dance will present

its 45th annual Dance-O-Rama in the Oil City High School Auditorium at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday.

The dance students will perform rou-tines in Pre-School Expression, Tap, Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Lyrical, Pre-Pointe and Pointe.

Each year the students, whose ages range from 3 to 18, attend weekly dance classes that begin in September.

Many hours of work are involved in order to advance the students to the point where they can produce a recital as pol-ished as that to be performed on Saturday.

This year’s show will be a celebration of 45 years of performing dance.

It will open with a combined group tap dance set to “42nd Street,” a longtime favorite of the teaching staff.

Throughout the show the dancers will perform to some of the favorite songs from past shows as well as a variety of

new and current songs. All of the students will return to the

stage at the end of the show for the cho-reographed finale.

Sherry Thomas is the owner and artis-tic director of Thomas School of Dance.

The teaching staff is made up of Kelly McClelland, Kelly Zerbe, Shannon Brancato, Kenzie Brancato and Alyssa Schiffer.

Layla Hollis is a student teacher. The staff is completed by student

assistants Carley Gulnac, Lillie Heise, Gracie Hollis, Lizzy Hoovler, Bailee Plowman, Kaela Schwab, Ava Shouey and Alex Webster.

The price of admission is $7, and tick-ets will be available at the door.

For more information about the show or dance classes, people may call Sherry Thomas at 676-2226.

The young dancers who will per-form include, from left, standing: Mila Siembida, Josephine Earp, Lucy Shaffer, Rayna Antrilli; front: Malia Kauffman

Dancers from Thomas School of Dance will perform “Dance-O-Rama” at 1 and 7 p.m. Saturday.From left are Rylyn Boozell, Anna Shaffer and Ellie Morrow.

Oil Region Indie Music Festival set for Oil CityThe 12th annual Oil Region Indie

Music Festival will be held Saturday, June 8, in Oil City, and will showcase an array of local and regional rock, punk, folk and indie musicians and songwriters.

The one-day festival is set to begin at 2 p.m. on Seneca Street and along Pipeline Alley in Oil City. Bands and singers will be performing at three loca-tions: in Seneca Street, opposite the Transit Building, in Pipeline Alley and outside the Venango Museum.

The lineup of performers will include Lawson Bloom, Justin Parson, Abigail Foster’s Photosymthesis Machine and Mitch Littler as well as an array of other talented artists.

Hip and Handmade Market will line

Seneca Street with over 20 vendors fea-turing a variety of handmade items from local crafters and artisans.

There will be no charge for the event. Attendees may take lawn chairs or blan-kets.

The festival is designed to celebrate the region’s wealth of artistic talent as well as create broader performances and networking opportunities for local and regional musicians, artists and their audi-ences.

The Oil Region Indie Music Festival is sponsored in part by the Oil City Arts Council.

For additional information regarding the festival, people may visit the Oil Region Indie Music Festival Facebook page.

A Drum Circle was held in front of Venango Museum during last year’s Indie Music festival, and the event will be held again this year.
