# Ted’s Thoughts

Sunday Afternoon at the Club / Swap Meet and Program

On Sunday July18 we will be starting up again our Swap Meet activity along with a special program. It

starts at 2:00 pm and runs through for or longer to facilitate the swap activity. If you want to register for a

table at the swap meet contact me at [email protected]. Only members of the club are

permitted to have a table at the Swap Meet. The program is on Defensive Pistol by our own Jim McCarthy,

please the detail below. We will have coffee and cake available for those in attendance.

Jim McCarthy is a former U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 4 Helicopter Pilot with 16 years active and

reserve Army service to include two combat tours in Vietnam as an Assault Helicopter Pilot flying troop

ships, guns ships and scout helicopters. He has extensive weapons experience both in the Military and in

his later 23 years as an FBI Special Agent. He was also for several years cross deputized as a Maricopa

County, Arizona Deputy Sheriff while assigned to the FBI’s Phoenix Field Office. He is an NRA Pistol

Instructor and Range Safety Officer. He has over 52 years of experience handling firearms.

Swap Market (SW) via our Club Web Page

We are setting up a special section of the web page to facilitate and enhance communication within the

club. Scott Riggins a new club member will manage this new segment. It is somewhat like a section of the

newsletter where we provided space for communication on firearms and similar items for sale. Most likely

communication by email or other will create a post of items for sale or items of interest for purchase.

Posting will only be available by club members. Look for more information on this item in our July

newsletter.

Championing Youth at our Club

As I am writing, there are four youths from our membership traveling to New Mexico to attend the NRA

shooting camp at the Whittington Center. At our July monthly meeting, we will have a report from their

participation and activity. The program is called the “Taylor Grant”. The Taylor Grant also provides support

training on youth shooting programs provided by the CMP. The Taylor Grant is named after our current

and long-term president, George Taylor. The grant provides support by covering 50% of the cost for the

camp / training and for travel expenses.

Construction Activity

Work on the indoor range new backstop is under construction. Chuck Augustine and Jon Stonestreet are

managing the project. The new backstop will allow us to shoot jacketed pistol ammo. Prior to this

construction, we were only able to shoot lead projectile round indoors.

Work is also in progress on an additional trap range. The new range is scheduled for completion by

yearend for planned use starting in 2022. The Manual Trap Range was relocated recently to accommodate

the new range. Parking for the newly relocated manual range is now accessible via the garage roadway

and the Archery Range.

# Meet Your Legislators

SENATOR CAMERA BARTOLOTTA

• District 46

• Beaver, Greene, and Washington Counties

Committee Assignments

• Beaver, Greene, and Washington Counties

• Committee Assignments

• Labor & Industry, Chair

• Intergovernmental Operations

• Local Government

• Rules & Executive Nominations

• Transportation

• Veterans Affairs & Emergency Preparedness

Senator Bartolotta brings an entrepreneurial spirit and a wealth of real-world experience to her job

representing residents of Beaver, Greene and Washington counties. A longtime resident of Monongahela,

she was elected to her first term representing the 46th Senatorial District in 2014 and was re-elected in

2018. She currently serves as part of the Senate Republican Leadership team as Majority Caucus

Administrator.

During her time in the Senate, Camera has authored many new laws, including measures to help judges

keep the most dangerous domestic violence offenders behind bars; relocate victims of domestic violence

who live in public housing; improve the availability of job training programs throughout the state; provide

additional resources to support fire and EMS companies impacted by COVID-19; protect Pennsylvania’s

fresh water supplies by ensuring the safe use of treated mine water in oil and gas operations; authorize

the operation of Transportation Network Companies like Uber and Lyft in all 67 counties; strengthen

penalties for motorists who injure workers and emergency responders in construction zones; and

strengthen and improve the state’s School Bus Stop Arm Camera Law. She also introduced a proposed

amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution to limit the future growth in state government spending and

protect taxpayers.

Camera also led efforts in the Senate to help more Pennsylvanians benefit from the state’s Clean Slate law

and allow homeless individuals to receive free photo identification – breaking down major barriers to

employment and financial independence.

In the Senate, Camera’s committee assignments reflect the main concerns of the communities she

represents, including the need for quality, family-sustaining jobs and smaller government. She currently

serves as Chair of the Senate Labor and Industry Committee, which is responsible for considering a wide

Page 7: June 2021 Edition

range of issues pertaining to both employers and employees, including Worker’s Compensation,

Unemployment Compensation, workplace safety, building codes and workforce development. In this

capacity, she led the Senate’s efforts to hold the Wolf Administration accountable for flaws in the state’s

Unemployment Compensation system that led to delayed payments to hundreds of thousands of

Pennsylvanians during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Camera also co-chairs the Senate Gas and Oil Caucus, a bipartisan legislative body that focuses on issues

impacting the gas and oil industry with the goal of promoting policies resulting in a positive future for

constituents, the business community and state economy. She also co-founded the bipartisan Criminal

Justice Reform Caucus to focus on ways to help promote safer communities, reduce prison costs, reduce

recidivism and ensure better outcomes for individuals who are part of the criminal justice system. In

addition, utilizing her experience as an actor, director and producer, she founded the Film Industry Caucus,

a bicameral group working to support research and analysis of the role that Pennsylvania’s film industry

plays in economic development, job creation and revenue enhancement.

Prior to being elected to the Senate, she opened the first quick-lube business in the Mon Valley, Duke of

Oil, which provided quality, affordable service from 1988 to 2019. She produced “La Dolce Vita,” a cooking

and lifestyle show that aired on WPXI-TV and PCNC.

Camera is an active member of the community she has called home for more than three decades. She is a

Rotarian, a member of her local Elks Club and several chambers of commerce. She was appointed to the

PA Commission for Women and the Workforce Development board by Governor Wolf. She also serves on

the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Pittsburgh Film Office Board of Trustees, the

Pittsburgh Ballet Board of Trustees, the University of Pittsburgh Institute of Politics Board of Fellows, and

the Pennsylvania Prison Society Board.

Family is a great source of pride in Camera’s life and motivates her civic engagement. Her daughter, Devin,

is an award-winning news reporter and anchor in New Orleans. Her son, Dante, is a United States Marine

reservist.

SENATOR DEVLIN ROBINSON

• District 37

• Allegheny and Washington Counties

Committee Assignments

• Law & Justice, Vice Chair

• Appropriations

• Community, Economic & Recreational Development

• Game & Fisheries

• Labor & Industry

• Local Government

Senator Robinson was elected in November 2020 to serve residents of the 37th State Senatorial District, which

includes parts of Allegheny and Washington counties in southwestern Pennsylvania, including Bethel Park, Jefferson

Hills, Mount Lebanon, Peters, Pleasant Hills, South Park, and Upper St. Clair.

His top priorities as state Senator include reducing crushing taxes and regulatory overreach that have stifled

economic opportunity and holding the line on spending and taxes. He also is committed to full, fair and consistent

funding for school districts and supports reforming Pennsylvania’s public pension system.

A native of southwestern Pennsylvania, Robinson was raised in the working-class Brookline neighborhood of

Pittsburgh and attended Central Catholic High School. After graduation, he joined the United States Marine Corps –

continuing a family tradition of military service dating back four generations.

Following the 9/11 attacks, Robinson requested assignment to the infantry, ensuring him a spot on the front lines.

He served one combat tour in Afghanistan and two in Iraq, where as an infantryman in Nasiriyah (“ambush alley”)

Devlin’s unit fought door-to-door to rescue Army POW Jessica Lynch. He also later served in Fallujah.

Upon his honorable discharge, Devlin returned home to Pittsburgh and founded his own company, Veterans Medical

Technology. Under the GI Bill, Devlin earned a business degree from Robert Morris University and an MBA from the

University of Pittsburgh’s Katz School of Business.

A resident of Bridgeville PA, Robinson is active in several philanthropic groups – including the Semper Fi Odyssey,

Bridgeville/South Fayette International Rotary, Knights of Columbus, Ancient Order of the Hibernians, Peters

Township VFW, Bridgeville American Legion, Bethel Park Marine Corps League, and St. Barbara Catholic Church.

Robinson volunteers with numerous veterans’ organizations in and around the 37th District and is the PA State

Commander for the Italian American War Veterans.

# America’s Rifle Challenge

ARC CLINIC & BASIC MATCH 2021

This article’s purpose is to share a better understanding of what the America’s Rifle Challenge Program

(ARC) is about – both in words and pictures.

Purpose: lets owners of America’s most popular new rifle platform

develop and showcase their AR skills. The AR Challenge offers opportunities

to learn, further develop, or even test out your skills in competition.

Safety: NRA Certified Range Safety Officers are there to insure the

safe operation for all ARC events.

Instruction: Basic shooting skills are demonstrated, dry fire practiced, and then applied in a live fire

mode. Match protocols are introduced via a competition model with all participants progressing at a

comfortable pace. This Clinic & Basic Match is the first step in a journey to develop more advanced skills,

confidence with their AR, and a greater appreciation of the shooting sports.

Page 11: June 2021 Edition

New Skills & New Thrills: All ARC events are designed around defensive shooting skills. This Action

Shooting Program provides many different flavors to a diverse shooting menu: paper, steel, and motion

targets placed at distances from 7 yards out to 100 yards and includes multiple reloads and the use of

barricade structures.

Competition and Camaraderie: DMSC is just a great place for like-minded members to get

together and enjoy the shooting sports. Club members have taken the time to attend NRA Training

Classes and become Instructors and Certified Range Safety Officers to both instruct and safely conduct

shooting events. The ARC atmosphere contains good times, challenging opportunities, and some just

plain FUN! (Oh Yeah – donuts only add to this mix ).

Special Thanks to RSO and Club Member Rick Cadotte for providing these great pictures!

DMSC High Power continues to roll along with another great shooting weather day for the third match on

the season. Nine competitors took advantage of that weather to come and enjoy the new electronic

scoring system. Congrats to Jim Madar with the top score of 456-8x. A hearty welcome to newcomer,

Justin Tiano – hope to see you more often. Our next match will be on Sunday July 11th – All are

Welcome!

One Caveat – we can only accommodate 10 shooters per relay with the electronic targeting system –

assignment will be on a fist come - first served basis.
