McQuaide Blasko Attorneys Challenge Centre County Givers STATE COLLEGE – On January 12, James Horne, managing partner in the McQuaide Blasko Law Firm, announced that McQuaide Blasko is issuing a challenge to the Centre County community. For every dollar donated to Centre County United Way from now until January 31, McQuaide Blasko will match the total donation amount up to $10,000. This challenge comes after the United Way announced a projected campaign shortfall of $100,000. “When we heard the news that Centre County United Way was in jeopardy of not meeting the $2.2 million goal, we knew we had to do something to help,” Horne stated. “We understand how important the 40 United Way partner agencies are to our community and to those who need their help.” Horne felt there was an opportunity to step up and be a part of the solution. “We want to do more than write a check. We want to encourage our neighbors to give as well. What better way to do this than by matching the community’s efforts with our own corporate gift.”

Donors recognized at Bald Eagle Area

Centre County United Way supports 40 health and human service agencies that provide services to one in three county residents each year. Without United Way funding these agencies will need to make changes in programming that will impact everyone in Centre County. Fewer children will be matched with Big Brothers or Big Sisters. Fewer families will be given help with childcare, employment training, legal assistance, and literacy skills. Those who are most in need will go without. Those directly involved with the Centre County United Way campaign are confident that with the support of companies like McQuaide Blasko and the entire community they will reach this year’s goal. “To witness the generosity of McQuaide Blasko is overwhelming but not surprising,” Ted McDowell, 2010 Campaign Chair, commented. “This is a group of people who care about our community and who consistently find creative ways to demonstrate that care.” The United Way Campaign continues through the end of January.

WINGATE – A donor recognition ceremony was held at the Bald Eagle Middle-High School on January 6, prior to the BEA vs. Penns Valley Girls Basketball game. Members of the Bald Eagle Area Board of Education and Administration were on-hand to recognize recent donations made to the school district. BEA players and fans will always know the score in its new main gymnasium, thanks to two local businesses. The district recognized Manager Kerry O’Hara for First National Bank’s donation of an 8-foot x 12-foot electronic scoreboard, and Eric Summey and Stacey Summey Tressler of Eagle Towing and Recovery/Eagle Valley Equestrian Center for their donation of

a 12-foot x 18-foot electronic LED scoreboard. This large scoreboard, donated by the Summey family, lists points and fouls per player, and includes a full-color video display. A plaque recognizing the late Wendy Walker Summey, a 1975 graduate of the Bald Eagle High School and generous scholastic supporter of the district, will be displayed in the trophy case located outside the main gymnasium. Karen Urbanik, representing Eagle Ambassadors, was recognized for the alumni foundation’s donation of an eight-foot DuMor steel bench that has been installed in the lobby of the new gymnasium. The group also donated $200 to each of the school’s five libraries.

Pictured at the recognition ceremony held January 6 at BEA are, L-R, Manager Kerry O’Hara, representing First National Bank; Stacey Summey Tressler and Eric Summey, representing Eagle Towing and Recovery/Eagle Valley Equestrian Center; Board of Education members Theresa Peters, Tom Bowes, Jeff Turner, and John Rougeux; Superintendent Dan Fisher; Karen Urbanik, representing Eagle Ambassadors; and Athletic Director Doug Dyke.

Jeffrey Duclos Earns Eagle Scout Award STATE COLLEGE – An Eagle Scout Award Ceremony was recently performed for Jeffrey E. Duclos, of Boy Scout Troop 31, of State College. Jeff is the son of Keith and Barbara Duclos, and is a senior at State College Area High School. Jeff earned 34 merit badges, completed three God and Country Programs, and attended the World Scout Jamboree in Chelmsford, England. Presenters at Jeff’s Eagle Scout Award Ceremony were David Maneval for the State College Elks, U. S. Representative Glenn Thompson, State Representative Scott Conklin, Centre County Commissioner Steve Dershem, Marine Corps League Dallas Lykens, and James E. West National Eagle

Scout Association representative Raymond J. Vanden Berghe, Sr. For his Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project, Jeff coordinated the sorting, and organizing of the contents of more than 70 boxes of documents, records, and objects that had been stored in multiple locations of the St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, of which Jeff is a member. Through this project, the church was able to dispose of a great many items. Jeff then organized, recorded, and restored the remaining items. In addition, Jeff organized work crews to do brush and leaf removal at the Old Pine Hall Cemetery in Ferguson Township, totaling more than 200 points in these combined projects.

The lead article in the Democratic Watchman of January 24, 1861, was titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Universal Gloom,â&#x20AC;? and read, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The gloom that shrouds the whole country is unrelieved by a ray of light. If we look to the Senate, that august assemblage of American wisdom, we find it powerless in this hour of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need. More powerless still is the House of Representatives.

As for local problems, the main ones seemed to be roaming livestock.

(this is a cattle disease, and in local humans probably was yellow fever) were carrying off adults and children around the county. A petition was raised in Bellefonte protesting the decision to close the post office at 7 p.m. instead of the previous 8 p.m., and even to extend the hours to allow for distribution of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh mail arriving on the 8:16 train from Tyrone.

By Pat Park Sometimes, if we are lucky, we meet a person in a book who stays in our memories long after the final page. Author Chris Cleave has provided such a person in the title character of his novel Little Bee. Little Bee escaped a dangerous situation in Nigeria and has spend three years in an immigration detention center in England. The only English people she knows are Charlie and Sarah Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rourke. They had

met briefly on a beach back in Nigeria under horrific conditions. After leaving the center, she goes to their home and arrives just before Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral. She stays to help the widow and her young son, Charlie, Jr. The events that had taken place on that beach back in Nigeria and the fact that Little Bee is an illegal immigrant cast a shadow over everything that these two women do. Partly because of the past and partly because they need each other, Little Bee and Sarah form a close attachment.

Little Bee has been busy learning how to be British so that in a tight spot, she simply thinks of what the Queen would say or do. She also finds that people pay attention if she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153; There is an old proverb in my country.â&#x20AC;? Some of these are so obviously false that we have to admire her ability to think fast. Much of the advance advertising promised that this would be a funny book. It is, at times. Many of the situations in the book are far from humorous. Little Bee has been a witness to the hor-

ror caused by the big oil companies in her country. The British people who become part of her new life are morally flawed It is Little Bee and her fresh outlook that lighten the story. Her trying to decide how she would explain life in England to her girlfriends back home give an interesting new view point on everything from topless models to the taste of tea. To tell more about the plot of the book would make this review a â&#x20AC;&#x153;spoilerâ&#x20AC;? and I would like you to go along with the surprises. I will admit that the ending was not to my liking at all, but it is one reason that Little Bee would make an excellent choice for a book group. Little Bee herself though is the best reason for anyone to read this book.

Preserving Your Independence

By Jeff Fleming, Esq.

As we get older, it often seems that time accelerates. It seems the children were in diapers just yesterday. But, now they’ve left home and they have kids of their own. Where does the time go? Aging is a normal part of life. The infant becomes a toddler. Later the teenager becomes an adult (thankfully). Unfortunately, as we age later in life we are no longer as able-bodied as when we were teenagers. Gradually, we all get more aches and pains. But, what would happen if something serious were to occur? Let’s take a look at Betty’s situation. Betty is 66 and has worked hard all her life. Betty and her husband, George, retired a few years ago. George died after only a year in retirement. Betty and George had a wonderful life together and raised two children, Alice and Mark. Not a day goes by that Betty does not miss George terribly. However, she has decided to live life fully and has had an active, fulfilling life. She travels and she spends a lot of time with friends and family—especially her adorable grandchildren. She was visiting Alice and the grandchildren in the Northeast when she had difficulty walking and talking. She was having a stroke. She was rushed to the hospital. After a week in the hospital, her condition stabilized and the doctors sent her to a nursing home for recuperation, which they expected to take three years. Not only does Betty have a lot of hard work ahead of her, much of her life savings will be wiped out by the nursing home bills. Betty thought she had it covered with Medicare. But Medicare only covers the first 100 days of a nursing home stay. And there is a big daily co-payment after the first twenty days. After 100 days, she has to pay it all. Betty wants to be close to Alice and the grandkids during her recuperation. Unfortunately, the average nursing home in that area costs well over $8,000 per month. The total stay will be over $280,000, even after Medicare pays its portion. Over a quarter of a million dollars! This will wipe out most of Betty’s lifetime of savings and cause her to become financially dependent on her children. Instead of being able to help with her grandchildren’s future, she’ll be a financial burden on her children. There must be a better way! Well, there is. Betty could have planned ahead by gifting her money into a Medicaid Income Only Trust. The income of the trust would have been available to Betty, but the assets themselves would not be considered available to pay the nursing home expenses and would not have to be used up. As a result, Betty would have qualified for Medicaid. While she needed the nursing home assistance, the income she received from the trust would go toward her “share of cost” for the nursing home. But, the principal of the trust would remain intact and could go to Betty’s children or grandchildren at her death. Unfortunately, this strategy does not work if you wait until the last minute. Medicaid has a fiveyear look-back for gifting. Any gifts made within that five-year period are totaled and divided by the average monthly nursing home cost to determine the “penalty period.” Betty would be ineligible for Medicaid during the penalty period. If Betty had planned ahead, she could have preserved her independence, avoided being a financial burden on her children, and helped with her grandchildren’s future. And, she would have had the exact same care! Avoid Betty’s fate. Eat healthily and exercise, but also plan to protect your independence and your family’s future. A qualified estate planning and elder law attorney can help you plan to preserve your financial independence. Attorney Fleming is a member of the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys and has been engaged in the practice of law for the last twenty years. For more information, call 814-943-5500.

Where to goâ&#x20AC;ŚWhat to doâ&#x20AC;Ś PA Room of the Centre County Library & Historical Museum By Judy Hazel BELLEFONTE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; What do you know about your ancestors? Where did they come from, what did they do? Last season on TV, two shows followed celebrities as they delved into their family trees; thus, raising viewersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interest in their own genealogy research. Where should you start? If your â&#x20AC;&#x153;rootsâ&#x20AC;? passed through Centre County or the surrounding areas, a visit to the Pennsylvania (PA) Room is a must. The PA Room is located in the big stone house of the Centre County Library & Historical Museum at the corner of Allegheny and Howard Streets in Bellefonte. Within this building, a wealth of family history information is available: from indexes of Centre County marriage records and newspaper obituaries to a book collection of cemetery records and census and tax assessment records, plus much, much more. Lining the walls within the room, one can browse the many books featuring local and regional info to Pennsylvania info by counties. The amount of information can be overwhelming (but finding your family information can be fun). Last year, according to Kitty Wunderly, PA Room Supervisor & curator, researchers came from all over the U.S., including South Dakota, California, Texas, and Florida. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start researching using the name of a great-grandfather. Find the name in the card catalogue. Here, more than 250,000 cards index the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spangler Collection.â&#x20AC;? Adelle Fink Spangler was a local researcher whose records are found in 176 bound notebooks and 20 bound scrapbooks dating until about 1942. A search in the catalogue for great-grandfather Horace Greeley Rogers tells where to search next: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bk 26 p 4 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 7.â&#x20AC;?

A search for a marriage record in the indexed marriages on the computer lists: 03/11/1887, book 2, 128. Downstairs in the bowels of the stonewalled basement, a fascinating array of organized old books and records can be found. With the assistance of a PA Room Curator or volunteer, a large, tattered Book 2 of marriage licenses is pulled off the shelf. There on page Visit the Centre County Library & Historical Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 128: Horace G.

Documentation from the 1940s to the 1970s can be found in the J. Marvin Lee Genealogical Collection of notebooks with family group names. You can spend hours doing research. Just be sure to write down your findings and keep organized records. A family tree chart and sheets of family group records (listing all children of the parents) is a good start to your organization. What special moment in someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research does Ms. Wunderly recall? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone once burst into tears when they opened a cemetery book. Everything in (research) is new and they were astonished to find â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;theirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; information,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Something Brewing at The Gamble Mill

By Sandie Biddle BELLEFONTE – After owning The Gamble Mill for about three years, the Fonash.Kendeffy Restaurant Group (also owners of Zola, Alto, and Dos Locos) decided they’d like to start their own microbrewery. It took another year to get the proper legislation, equipment, brew master, and recipes. The Bellefonte icon started pouring its own custom beers this fall. The brewery is in the former Amber Room. Assembly began in early 2010. They use a 3.5 barrel (105 gallon) steam-fired brewhouse and four 7 barrel (210 gallon) fermenting vessels. They use a wide variety of grains including many different kinds of malted barley (Pale Malt, Pilsner Malt, Marris Otter, Crystal Malt, Chocolate Malt, Roasted Barley, etc.) as well as Rye, Oats Wheat, and Corn. In addition, use a wide variety of hops (Cascade, Ahtanum, Czech Saaz, Hallertau, Columbus and more) and a variety of yeast strains from Belgium and The United States. A unique ingredient is the Bellefonte water they use as a base for all their beers. They develop all their own recipes, which include the combination of different ingredients, specific temperatures at different parts of the process, filtration through a plate, and frame filter (or not). They also hope to progress to barrel aging and wild fermentations.

Right now there are six brews on tap: HB 48 Session golden ale, named for the House Bill that allowed them to open the brewery; J. Rose Pale Ale; Lame Devil Farmhouse Ale, a Belgian white ale; Pig Iron IPA, an India pale ale; Bush House Brown Ale; and the slightly spiced seasonal offering, Buffalo Run Winter Ale. As named, the sixth seasonal beer will change with the seasons. The names are tied to Bellefonte’s history. Head Brewer, Mike Smith, is a native of State College. Shortly after earning a bachelor’s degree from Penn State, Mike began brewing at home, developing a passion for hand-crafted beers – taking it far beyond a hobby. He is a graduate of the American Brewer’s Guild’s Intensive Brewing Science and Engineering program. His internship after graduation at Dogfish Head Craft Brewery turned into a full-time brewer’s position. After two-and-a-half years at Dogfish Head, Mike accepted an offer from the Ithaca Beer Company where he brewed for three years. He’s happy to be back home, brewing beer for his neighbors at the Gamble Mill Brewery. Expect to see some of Mike’s beers on tap in other Centre County establishments soon, including Zenos in State College and Kellys in Boalsburg.

AcousticSheep Helps You Sleep By Sandie Biddle BELLEFONTE – As a young family practice medical doctor, Wei-Shin Lai was awakened often with patient calls. “After that, it was hard for me to get back to sleep,” she said. “My husband suggested that I could listen to relaxing music. But I didn’t want to bother him.” She tried ear buds, which were never comfortable for her, and headphones, which were too bulky to allow sleeping on her side. She and her husband looked online for more comfortable headphones and couldn’t find any that would allow sound sleeping. They’d always wanted to have their own business, so as AcousticSheep, Ltd, they created SleepPhones. “We made the first 500 ourselves, my husband doing soldering and assembly, me cutting and sewing the fabrics,” she said. Not long after that, they moved from Connecticut

Assembly and shipping is done from the couple’s basement in Bellefonte. They have developed a second product, called RunPhones. Runners liked the comfort of SleepPhones and found them to be a good alternative to ear buds. The next expansion will be retail sales. After developing packaging, they will offer SleepPhones and RunPhones at local specialty retailers. Right now they’re available on their Web site, sleepphones.com, and through Amazon and Think Geek. Wei-Shin Lai is a doctor at Penn State’s student health center. Her husband and business partner, Jason Wolfe, is a computer games inventor at Educational Gaming Commons. One can only Wei-Shin Lai, MD and husband Jason imagine what this creative couple will Wolfe, both Penn State employees, are come up with next. the founders of AcousticSheep, Ltd.

Tasty Treats from Centre County By Portia T. Webb Quite a few specialty food products are made in Centre County. The vendors and distribution centers are almost in our backyards and we sometimes overlook their simplistic appeal. These familiar desserts and condiments were birthed right here in Centre County. These delectables are offered in their home stores, specialty markets, via the Web. Shipments of these yummies are made world-wide, in some cases. Herlocher Foods, Inc. 415 East Calder Way State College, PA 16801 (814) 237-0134 In 1978, State College’s Train Station restaurant offered dipping mustard. The popularity grew and so did customer demand. Long after the Train Station closed, the mustard lives on. Herlocher Foods now creates dipping mustard with a spicy hot taste. According to administrative asistant, Linda Weaver, the mustard’s flavor will change with age. Good with bologna and cheese, vegetables, shrimp, and egg rolls; the condiment contains no preservatives and boasts only pure, fresh ingredients. Several local supermarkets carry

the mustard including the widely popular McLanahan’s Downtown Market, Walmart stores and Sam’s Club all in State College. Produced in Tipton by Del Grosso Foods, Inc. the mustard is now offered in 51 supermarket chains available in the mid-Atlantic, midwest and southern states. The mustard comes in 8 oz. and 14.5 oz sizes. They also produce Herlocher’s Salsa. In the spirit of game season, any tailgater will recognize PSU’s Nittany Lion logo on a Herlocher’s mustard jar. Herlocher is licensed to label its mustard with National Collegiate Athletic Association logos. The Diner Grilled Stickies 126 W.

sweet tooth. The Diner State College serves up this tradition with a pat of butter and grilled to warm the tummy. At the restaurant the sticky buns are not grilled with nuts due to potential allergens. Diner Maitre D’ Deb Garbrick has been a fan of the sticky buns for eight years and likes them “hot off the grill with ice-cream – A la mode!” Of recent, the Diner launched a “Grilled Sticky Fundraisers” program. Through sell-

ing sticky buns your organization can expect profit on a product loved worldwide. Chocolate Madness 134 W.

Box 433 Bellefonte, PA 16823 (814) 355-0215 e-mail: piperspeck@hotmail.com Janet Robinson began the business in 1998 due to her interest in growing hot

peppers and tomatoes. The Piper’s Peck also sells chocolate sauces and fudge. Robinson currently grows most of the ingredients. She incorporates these into selections of: condiments and jellies. “Hot peppers like really good soil, are very prolific and grow very well,” said Robinson of her home grown additives. Not hailing from the country, she decided to buy a small farm land property as a site for the business’ kitchen. “I didn’t grow up on a farm but I’ve always been interested in planting,” said Robinson whose interest flourished to meet epicurean tastes. “People can stop by, but there is no store on the property.” Robinson encourages locals to stop by the farm to avoid shipping costs. She is also willing to deliver her produce. Out-of-state shipments have gone as far as California and Arizona. The most popular product is the Raspberry Chipotle preserves. Robinson describes the combination as jam and a “kick” of hot peppers. The product idea came to her as a suggestion from a customer at a farmer’s market. “It’s good with cream cheese and crackers, and great melted as a dip with shrimp!” said Robinson.

Made in Centre County, USA Penns Valley Company Makes Gourmet Soup Mixes By Sam Stitzer PENN HALL – This time of year there are few things more refreshing than coming in from the cold winds and snow of winter than sitting down to a hot bowl of homemade soup. I mean real soup, like our mothers and grandmothers made from scratch years ago. It turns out that some of the best soup you can buy is manufactured right here in Penns Valley. Cooke Tavern Soups, located in Penn Hall, just east of Spring Mills is the home of a fine line of gourmet soup mixes designed for busy people who want to serve a great pot of homemade soup without the fuss of starting from scratch. Greg and Mary Kay Williams own and operate Cooke Tavern Soups, where the soup mixes are packaged and distributed. The soup mixes originated with Greg’s mother, Mary Ellen Williams, who used her own recipes to make soup mixes beginning in 1994. She sold the soup mixes at craft fairs and similar venues until 2000, when she and her

Greg and Mary Kay Williams with their Cooke Tavern Soups at a recent craft fair husband retired and turned the business over to Greg and Mary Kay, who have expanded the business over the last decade. They now sell their products to gourmet food stores in Pennsylvania, nationwide, and internationally to Canada, Switzerland, Australia, and as far away as Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. Much of their soup stays close to home, since one of their major customers is the Tait Farm near Boalsburg. They also market their products on the company’s Internet Web site. Greg Williams’s background is in mechanical engineering, with years of experience in the electrical connector industry, but he always wanted to own a business. When

his parents wanted to give up the soup business, Greg jumped at the chance. Cooke Tavern soup mixes are hand packaged using only high-quality air- and freeze-dried vegetables, herbs, and spices, free from preservatives and artificial flavoring. The freeze-drying process is said to preserve flavor and nutrients better than canning or Greg poses with a display of soup mixes in just freezing.

The solar array can produce up to 10 kilowatts on peak sunshine days, which means that Greg actually feeds power back into Allegheny Power’s grid for credit! The heat for the plant is provided by a geothermal system. Cooke Tavern Soups are packaged in Greg’s wife, Mary Kay, performs the lower level of the Williams’ barn.

Made in Centre County, USA Tait Farm Produces Many Food Products

Article & photos by Sam Stitzer BOALSBURG – The Tait Farm, located along route 322 just east of Boalsburg, was literally a “mom and pop” farm, having been purchased by Marian and Elton Tait in 1950. They both graduated from Penn State University, Class of 1937, Marian in Home Economics and Elton from the College of Agriculture. Elton worked for the Agricultural Extension at Penn State for 39 years. In addition to raising their three children (Sandy, David and John) on the farm, over the years they also raised sheep, chickens, hogs, horses, and Bassett hounds, The Tait Farm store near Boalsburg as well as growing Christmas trees.

Made in Centre County, USA Otto’s Brews up Local Favorites By Don Bedell STATE COLLEGE – After eight years in their original location in State College, Otto’s Pub & Brewery reopened in November in their new location, just down the street, at 2235 North Atherton. Partner Roger Garthwaite spent 25 years at Penn State before changing direction and becoming involved with Otto’s. He says that consistency is what keeps them going, and growing. “We’re here in our new location because Charlie can make good beer consistently.” Charlie Schnable is the Head Brew Master at Otto’s. One of Garthwaite’s goals with the new location was to expand the brewing operation. Soon, Otto’s will be able to offer 12-ounce bottles, which means that six-packs and cases will be available on site and at retailers. Garthwaite says, “Our immediate goal was to satisfy the need right here in the Centre Region by expanding our beers on tap and

adding 12-ounce bottles.” Otto’s doesn’t have any immediate plans to expand outside of PA. “There’s a lot of unmet territory right here,” Garthwaite adds. Otto’s standard varieties include Apricot Wheat which is an American Wheat Ale with the aroma and flavor of apricot. Otto’s strongest offering, at 9.2% ABV, is Double D IPA, an Imperial India Pale Ale. Very malty and crisp, Red Mo Ale is an American red ale. If you like floral aroma and assertive hops, try Slab Cabin IPA, a classic American IPA. Otto’s

also features Spruce Creek Lager and if you like a darker variety beer that’s smooth and creamy, they also feature Black Mo Stout, which is a

dry, Irish-style stout. One other brew that Otto’s currently offers is only available on Friday afternoons. It’s called “Firkin’ Fridays.” Firkin’ is a British-style cask of ale that is conditioned in the cask and gravity-poured for a real ale taste. Garthwaite says that Otto’s will be able to offer 12-ounce bottles in six-packs and cases in the first quarter of this year. Apricot Wheat, Red Mo, Slab Cabin, and Double D will be the first four varieties offered in 12-ounce bottles. The next phase of expansion in the second quarter of this year will be additional beer varieties including lagers that typically take more fermentation time. Otto’s has also updated their Web site. More information can be found at ottospubandbrewery.com.

Bonfatto’s: Feel The Flavors! BELLEFONTE – In 1919 Sicilian immigrates, Guy and Pauline Bonfatto, opened a grocery and produce store in downtown Bellefonte. Bonfatto’s began to evolve from a grocery and produce shop to a destination for prepared ready-to-eat foods and in 1970, the family launched a full restaurant. The business prospered under the leadership of Francis and John Bonfatto. In January 1990, David Letterman, grandson of Guy and Pauline, became the third generation to enter the business. In July 1999, David and his wife Sherri became full owners. The hard-working couple’s first order of business: the launching of Bonfatto’s Restaurant and Lounge (Bonfattos.com), which opened in November 2000 on Bishop Street in Bellefonte and featured everything from American-Italian dishes to the renowned and trademarked Bonanza Subs. The idea was to provide a modern, family-friendly atmosphere and menu that would satisfy a wide range of tastes. Over the years, Bonfatto’s Restaurant & Lounge has received many awards for their Bonanza Subs, wings, and pizza. And with Bonfatto’s PickUp Window, Bonfatto’s offered customers the option to order by phone and pick up their meals without getting out of their vehicles – which is especially convenient in the cold winter months. And in recent history, David has made his own new innovation to the family business – a fabulous bottled line of award-winning

Bonfatto’s Wing Sauces & Marinades available at the restaurant, in specialty-food stores and online at FeelTheFlavors.com! Although the business has changed over the 90+ years, one thing remains – the commitment to quality, customer service and community support.

What’s Brewing in Millheim By Sandie Biddle MILLHEIM – Tim Yarrington not only brews beer, he knows how to construct a brewery. A happy confluence of opportunities made Tim Yarrington a multi-talented consultant to the beer brewing industry. Now the Brew Master at Penn’s Valley’s Elk Creek Café + Aleworks, Yarrington started out with a BS from Penn State, and completed a nine-month course in the Master Brewers Program at University of California – Davis in 1995. He also had construction experience. His first job out of brew school was a start-up brewery, Long Valley Pub and Brewery in New Jersey. There he combined his beer brewing and construction talents to build the brewery from the ground up. After eight years with the company, he was lured away by a start-up brewery on Times Square, Manhattan. He helped construct the brewery. “The beer got great reviews, but…” he said with a rueful laugh. Management problems closed the brewery three years later. Yarrington even helped dismantle the brewery and send the equipment to Sydney, Australia. He hopes to “visit” his old brew tools someday. Now Yarrington was experienced enough to become a freelance consultant in the construction and launch of microbreweries. He was quite successful, but the work kept him away from his family for long periods of time. Besides, he didn’t get to brew beer anymore – one of his favorite pastimes. When hired by Tom Bowser, owner and brainchild of Elk Creek Café + Aleworks in

Millheim, he found himself coming full circle back to central Pennsylvania. After opening the aleworks in December of 2007, he agreed to stay as Elk Creek’s Master Brewer. He couldn’t be happier. His single-batch brewing system, yielding 8 barrels (250 gallons) of brew at a time, allows him to fine-tune his recipes and enjoy the subtle differences from batch to batch. In addition to six standard brews, ranging from an American wheat ale to a robust Porter, he

also offers two ever-changing seasonal brews. Besides at Elk Creek Café, this beer is also on tap in State College and Lewisburg. His plans for the future include expanding the brewery’s capacity so he can offer even more volume and variety.

Made in Centre County, USA Homegrown Wine By Ebun Adewumi Anyone who is a great fan of wine knows the best places in the country, and the world, to find wineries and their vineyards. But even some of the most avid wine connoisseurs don’t realize that there are a couple wineries right here in our own backyard – the Mount Nittany Vineyard and Winery and Seven Mountain Wine Cellars. The Mount Nittany Vineyard and Winery is on the mountain in Centre Hall. When you drive through the scenic wooded road to it, coming upon it seems almost like a dream. In the months that the grapes are on the vine you see 65 acres of juicy ripe fruit. The winery opened for business in 1990 by amateur winemakers Joe and Betty Carroll after they purchased the land in 1983 and planted their first grapes. Many changes have been made since the land was first purchased. The newest addition, more than 10 years ago, added a banquet room that is used for events like conferences and wine tastings. Just because snow has covered the vineyard doesn’t mean the winery is closed. Monday is the only day they don’t have tasting hours. They also hold special wine tasting events throughout the winter months, too. Seven Mountain Wine Cellars is located farther out of town in Spring Mills. This winery is fairly new, opening its doors in August 2009. Scott Bubb, owner, is a Mifflin County native and still lives close by the southern part of the county. Winemaking had been a part of

Seven Mountains Wine Cellar Scott’s life since 1976. He made his first wine from Concord grapes that he picked from his Aunt Sylvia’s back yard. It wasn’t too bad, but since that day, he has had a strong passion, almost an obsession, with trying to produce the highest quality wine that he possibly can. His father said, “If the job isn’t worth doing right, it’s not worth doing at all.” Bubb has lived by that advice for many years. He has earned awards at both regional and national wine competitions and is currently ranked 12th on the American Wine Societies list of the top 50 Amateur Winemakers in the United States. The next time you are looking for something to do locally, don’t forget that these wineries offer a unique way to spend a day.

Philadelphia makes quick exit while Steelers get to work after bye By Les Barnhart

The NFL playoffs opened last week with several upsets including the Green Bay Packers going into Philadelphia and knocking off Michael Vick and the third seeded NFC East champion Eagles, 21-16. The Packers made the postseason as a Wild Card team but will now move on to face off against the top seeded Atlanta Falcons this Saturday night at 8pm. In the other NFC matchup, an upset even bigger than the Packers over the Eagles, the Seattle Seahawks upended the defending World Champion New Orleans, 41-36. The Seahawks entered the playoffs as the NFC West champions but also had the worst record of any playoff team at 7-9 and still hosted the playoff game as the Saints were the other Wild Card team. Seattle now moves on to face the second seeded Chicago Bears this Sunday at 1pm. The AFC opening weekend also saw at least a mild upset as the New York Jets used a field goal as time expired to defeat

the Indianapolis Colts, 17-16. With the loss, both the Colts and Saints, who played in the Super Bowl last year saw their seasons come to an end much earlier than each would have liked. The Jets now face the unenviable task of traveling to New England to try and derail a Patriots team that looks the team that will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl in February. The Patriots as a result of being the top seed in the AFC did not play last week. The Steelers also had the opportunity to rest their players and watch their opponent as well as the other games. Pittsburgh opponent this weekend is quite a familiar one in the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens and Steelers split their regular season meetings this year and will meet in the playoffs for the first time since 2009 when the teams battled for the AFC title in a game played in Pittsburgh, the site of Saturday’s game. The Steelers hold a 12-5 advantage over the Ravens in Pittsburgh. Baltimore, a Wild Card team, advanced to this game after a 30-7 drubbing of the Kansas City Chiefs last week in a game in which the Ravens defense forced five turnovers.

The Red Raiders defeated the Warriors of Indian Valley on Friday night, 46-38. Bellefonte used a big 2nd quarter to grab the upper hand, and never looked back. Robbie Proper and Jason Jarvis each accounted for 15 of points of the Raiders points. Seth Wagner led the Warriors in scoring, dropping 15 of his own.

Bellefonte dropped its record to 5-5 with a 51-38 loss to Central Mountain (4-5) Monday night. The game was closer than the score indicated, as the Raiders made it a six point game in the 4th quarter. The Wildcats proved to be too much down the stretch, hitting several clutch free throws. Behind Cole Renninger’s game high 16 points, Central Mountain pulled away late. Robbie Proper led the Raiders in scoring with 15 points.

Nittany Lions dominant in winning Virginia Duals

By Les Barnhart The top seeded Nittany Lion wrestling team opened the two day Virginia Duals last Friday with a dominant win over VMI. In the 42-3 win, Penn State lost only one match and seemed to set the tone not only for the second match of the day but for the following day as well. In the second match, Penn State dropped Edinboro 37-12 and only two Nittany Lions lost in that match. One of the victorious Penn State grapplers was Andrew Long. The transfer from Iowa State saw his first action as a member of the Nittany Lions and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint.

Long picked up a fall in 2:44 against VMI and followed that up with a 17-1 win against Edinboro. As a team, the Lions remained hot on Saturday as they handed Kent State a 27-15 loss to open the day. That would set the stage for the finals in what could be a preview of the Big Ten finals as Penn State would face off against Michigan and ultimately defeat the Wolverines, 24-12, to win their first Virginia Duals title since 1991. The Nittany Lions improved their season dual meet record to 11-0 after the four wins at the Duals.

threw for a career high 363 yards and two interceptions. With TV timeouts hamstringing Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort to move quickly, they were not to be shut out on the highlight reel. On their second possession of the 2nd quarter, facing 1st and 10 from their own 7-yard line, Thomas hit Jeff Maehl for an 81-yard strike, which set up an eight yard screen pass to James three plays later. The point after attempt featured an Option play between the holder and the kicker Rob Beard, which was good. The win for Auburn gave the SEC a perfect 7-0 record in BCS title games. The conference has been dominant for the last five years in title games. Dating back to 2006, the National Champs have come from the SEC, with Florida winning in 06â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and 08â&#x20AC;&#x2122;, LSU winning in 07â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Alabama winning last year.

The Penns Valley Rams wrestling team picked up three dual meet wins last Saturday after competing in the Coudersport Tournament. Overall in the tournament, the team went 3-2 to improve their season dual meet record to 4-3. The wins came over Coudersport (55-18), Sheffield (48-28) and Curwensville by criteria (the match ended tied 42-42). Leading the Rams in the tournament was Matt Swartz with two falls at 171-lbs. Maverick Swartz (HWT) and Cole Confer at 135-lbs also had two falls. Neil Hosterman had three wins at 152-lbs including two falls but it was Ryan Baker that enjoyed the most success in the tournament. Baker picked up four wins in the five matches including three falls and a decision at 160-lbs.

Premier talent on each team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; check. Scoreless first half - check. The odds makers in Vegas set the over/under on this anticipated slugfest at 73 points and if you took the under you were smarter than most as Auburn defeated Oregon 22-19 on a last second field goal to cap off a 14-0 season. The win also earned them the BCS National Championship. The victory gave Auburn its first National Championship since 1957. Auburn was lead by true freshman Michael Dyer, who was named Offensive Player of the Game. That in itself would be considered by most a huge feat being that Auburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense also features Heisman Trophy Winner Cam Newton (329 all purpose yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions). Dyer finished the night with 143 yards rushing. 37 of those yards came on the games most controversial play. On 1st and 10 late in the 4th quarter, Dyer dashed of the right end and was wrapped up by an Oregon defender, but alas his knee never hit the ground. The spinning tackle attempt left everyone frozen, including Dyer. Hearing fellow players and coaches urging him to keep running, he took off up the Auburn sideline before being tackled after the amazing 37-yard run. Three plays later, Dyer had Auburn setup with a 1st and Goal at the 1-yard line after a 16-yard run. It would be from there that Wes Byrum would put the dagger in the Ducks with a 19-yard chip shot field goal. Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-octane offense, which is predicated on a fast paced, no huddle environment, never seemed to get fully in sync. Doak Walker Award winner LaMichael James was held to just 49 yards on 13 carries although he did catch two Darron

Lady Eagles keep on pressuring… and winning! By Les Barnhart

WINGATE- The Lady Eagles’ basketball team kept up their pressure defense against visiting Saltsburg and it again resulted in a lopsided 76-33 win last Friday night. Bald Eagle Area’s defense, which forced 39 turnovers against Penns Valley the night before, had 27 steals in the win on Friday night. Bald Eagle Area again used a balanced offensive attack with Anne Hoover just missing a double-double with 15 points and 9 rebounds. Abby Gettig hit for double digit scoring with 10 for the Lady Eagles. With a game well in hand late, the Lady Eagles surprised some people when head coach Brandy Preslovich reinserted her starters to close out the game despite getting production from her bench.

Outdoor Christmas Training Camp Report By Dave Kurtz

Christmas Training Camp — Mach One Team

Day 1, December 28, 2010 BELLEFONTE – Rachel Eirmann, Chance Blakeslee, Sarah Mosier, Kyler Phillips, Keegan McChesney, Jonathon Eirmann and Coaches Robbie Fulton and David Kurtz met this morning for a little paddling exercise at the Sunnyside Paddling Park in Bellefonte on the first day of the annual four-day Christmas camp. It was a brisk 22 degrees with a bit of wind, gusting to maybe 40 miles per hour at times. After a lot of careful dressing with appropriate clothes the group held a morning practice of conditioning. The afternoon, now warmed to 32 degrees, found our doing a technical workout at the top of the course. Robbie carried a watch and clipboard and timed a large number of runs. Chance had the best times with Sarah close by. Chance’s best time of 10 attempts was 22.4 seconds. Sarah had five timed runs with a best of 25.9 seconds. The younger Kyler also had five timed runs with a best of 88 seconds (there were one or more 50-second penalties factored in) while Coach Kurtz’s best was 26.0 seconds. Day 2, December 29, 2010 The day started at 32 degrees and the group did a number of one-on-one sprints. For this exercise there were six pairs of gates such that the paddler starting on the river right did the six right-side gates and the other paddler did the six left-side gates. Each pair did a run from each side.

Ram grapplers fall short against visiting Hollidaysburg

By Les Barnhart SPRING MILLS- The Penns Valley Rams came up short in their tilt on the mat with the Hollidaysburg Golden Tigers. The Rams won three bouts in the meet by forfeit but could win of the final three bouts that were contested and that proved to be the difference in the 32-31 loss last Thursday night. The Rams (1-2) saw Cole Confer (130-lbs), Joey McNitt (135) and Seth Decker (140) receive forfeits while Logan Confer picked up a major decision at 145-lbs. At 152-lbs, Neil Hosterman recorded a first period fall at the 1:52 mark. Matt Swartz was also victorious for the Rams as he picked up a decision at 171-lbs.

Rams shake off setback with road win at Tyrone

By Les Barnhart The Penns Valley Rams suffered their first setback on Saturday when undefeated Greenwood (10-0) took it to them, 61-29. The Rams rebounded nicely on Monday night as they traveled to Tyrone and got back on the winning track with a 46-36 win behind a game-high 17 points from Kevin Montminy. Collin Smith added 10 points in the win as the Rams improved to 9-1 on the season

Blakeslee raced against Mosier four times, edging her each time but either very close or distant. Kurtz raced Phillips two times and Mosier two times edging Kyler twice and splitting with Sarah. The activity was really exciting and well spent with a promise of doing this again when the weather gets warmer in the spring. The group then did the cruise from Sunnyside down to Milesburg, only this time it was a downriver race. Fulton had a head start of 90 seconds and then there was a mass start of the others. The final times were Robbie Fulton, 18:40, Chance Blakeslee, 21:00, Dave Kurtz, 21:37, Sarah Mosier, 22:17, and Kyler Phillips, 23:07 minutes. After lunch team race training was held where the four boats of Robbie, Chance, Sarah and Kyler started at the top and went to gate 26 in a series of upstream gates. In each case the task was to try to have simultaneous gate-ins and gate-outs with interleaving of the boats. Sometimes there were crashes but not serious. They did a total of six runs, each person leading at least once. Day 3, December 30, 2010 The plan for this day was to find a river away from Sunnyside that had water, flow, and some excitement – yet be close to home. The Red Mo was a best hope and if it were warm enough it would have enabled some cranberry picking. The group bundled up and took off for the Route 53 bridge north of Moshannon town where the gage was. The temp here was 25 and a bit cold. The level looked runnable with the gage covered by ice but estimated to be 0.5. Robbie and I looked at the water and upstream, pondered, and then decided it was a “no go”... Too many rocks mid stream and enough ice along the shore for rescue purposes gave a risk too high for young kids. So it was back to home base and the group paddled from Home Base at Sunnyside to Dowdy’s Hole on the

Bald Eagle. Highlight on the trip was found in Milesburg. Chance paddled a little upstream on the Bald Eagle where ice covered the whole stream. It was about 1.5 inches thick. Sarah and Dave spent their time ramming onto the edge to break off pieces, some as large as a square meter. The paddle was long as usual. It was a total of seven miles of conditioning. One blue heron was seen but boats scraped a bit in numerous places at the 165 cubic-feet-per-second flow. Kyler did well in his family’s Dirigo recreational boat, getting stopped broadside on only one drop but still making good lines and having good control throughout. Day 4, December 31, 2010 The day dawned cold but quickly warmed up as the group, now slightly smaller convened on the last day of paddling activities in 2010. Keegan was able to join with Chance and Sarah as Coach Robbie led the way for some nice stroking experiences – keeping the paddle nearly vertical, always leaning forward, and placing the catch well forward. After some practice some one-onone sprints were held. Here Chance and Keegan were virtually the same speed and Sarah and Coach Kurtz also matched each other. The group shifted to back paddling. Here the body is still leaning forward to keep the stern above water and the paddle moving to the vertical after catching speed. Then they raced the one-on-ones. Again each person in the pair matched the other. This is going to be great next year as the kids will be matching and competing together as they gain skill and strength. Video observations will be done this spring so the kids can better see themselves and how they can improve. The camp was a huge success for those who participated. They learned how to dress in cold weather to be able to enjoy getting out in weather 95 percent of our population couldn’t handle. The first indoor paddling/rolling session will be January 16 at Penn State’s Natatorium – only weeks away.

Bellefonte Bash Gymnastics Invitational The Bellefonte Gymnastics Booster Club hosted the 3rd Annual Bellefonte Bash Gymnastics Invitational on Saturday, January 08, 2011 at the Bellefonte Area Middle School with 13 high schools from District VI and IX represented. During the competition, the freshmen compete against other freshmen; sophomores against sophomores; and so on. The individual invitational allows gymnasts in the districts who do not have High School varsity gymnastics programs to compete with High Schools who do have Varsity Teams. It also allows the gymnasts to earn scores to qualify into the PA Classic Individual State Championship Invitational in February. Bellefonte dominated the individual places taking 15 of the 20 first place spots. Senior Kylie Purnell finished first on bars and the floor exercise. She earned a 9.0 on floor and had her highest scores of the season on both of her first place finished events. Junior Cydnie Fredericks finished in first on every event except vault where she placed second. She had her highest allaround score of her career earning a 34.2. The sophomore class was the smallest of the four grade levels, but that didn’t matter to Kiersten Dove, sophomore, who took first place on vault,

The freshmen trio of Taylor Sinclair, Haley Sinclair, and Cortney Fredericks wrapped up the top 3 spots in the All-Around respectively, while Taylor won the bars, beam and all-around, Haley the vault and floor, while Cortney finished second on bars, floor, and in the all-around. The invitational allowed for all gymnasts to compete from every school and did not limit the line-up to the top 5 competitors per school; therefore Bellefonte had some great first time performances from some of their underclassmen. Freshman Katie Matsko competed all-around for the first time and place in the top 5 on vault. First year sophomore Mikayla Eckley finished fourth in her two events, vault and beam. Junior, Miranda Boatman had her highest score of her career on bars with a score of 7.1 and performed consistently finishing in the top 5 on 4 of 5 events. The Red Raider Gymnasts will travel to St. Marys on Wednesday, January 12, 2011. The meet will begin at 6 pm.

Just rolling along life’s path, Billy Stover, still has it By Les Barnhart Billy Stover has seen plenty of bowling lanes, especially the ones at the Millheim Lanes. Then again, at 88 years old, he has seen plenty of things. Mr. Stover, who has been bowling in the Millheim Lanes Men’s Senior League for over 25 years, made his first appearance in the Monday Mixed League at the Lanes and rolled a very impressive 233 in his debut. He is the oldest bowler in the league and

stands as the last living member of his original team. The 233 is above his current average of 128 but he is hoping to continue in the Mixed League with equally impressive results. Even if Mr. Stover is unable to reach that number again on the lanes, he will keep on rolling and will be sharing his stories with his other pals, something he very much enjoys. Congratulations again, Billy. Keep on rolling!

Lady Eagles apply pressure to Lady Rams in win By Les Barnhart WINGATE- The Lady Eagles used a pressure defense to force 30 Penns Valley turnovers and a balanced offensive attack to pull away for a 53-37 home win last Thursday night. Bald Eagle Area improved to 8-0 while the Lady Rams, despite getting a game-high 17 points from Cassie Hazel and 12 rebounds

from Krista Rupert, saw their record slip to 3-6. Anne Hoover recorded a double-double with 14 points and 14 rebounds in the win for Bald Eagle Area. Brittany Butterworth and Abby Gettig each added 12 points for the Lady Eagles.

Rams down Eagles on hardwood in Centre County battle

By Les Barnhart SPRING MILLS- The Rams kept their season rolling and their perfect record intact (9-0) last Friday night after beating Bald Eagle Area 68-55 behind the duo of Collin Smith and Kevin Montminy. Montminy, who was honored prior to the game for reaching the 1,000 point milestone had to resign himself to the second leading scorer with 18 points in the win over the Eagles as Smith found his touch from behind the three-point line. Of his game-high 20 points, 18 came from behind the arch. Sam Snyder added 10 points for the Rams. The Eagles were led offensively by Dennis Fisher as he ended the game with 10 points. The loss dropped the Eagles to 2-8 on the season under head coach Bill Butterworth.

Bald Eagle Area dominant in win over Juniata

By Les Barnhart WINGATE- The Eagles’ basketball team cruised to a seemingly easy win at home over Juniata last Wednesday night with Justin Taylor and Ty Bennett leading the team in scoring with 11 each in the lopsided 52-31 win. The Eagles quickly built a lead and pushed that to a double digit halftime lead. Dennis Fisher had 10 rebounds in the win for Bald Eagle Area as they notched just their second win of the season to improve to 2-7 on the season. In the Junior Varsity game, the Eagles also prevailed to improve their record to 3-4 with Ryan Dyke pacing the offense with 10 points in the 44-37 win.

Once Upon A Mattress Opens January 19 By Elizabeth Heidt, Drama Advisor BELLEFONTE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Once Upon a Mattress, the musical adaptation of the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fairytale The Princess and the Pea, hits the stage of Bellefonte Area High School this January 19 to 22. Under the guidance of stage director Marilyn Knoffsinger, vocal director Louise Victor, orchestra director Jay Zimmerman, and choreographer Caitlin Osborn, this performance is one you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very fortunate to have an artistic staff and cast who meet the challenges of a musical and provide us with a lovely production,â&#x20AC;? says Knoffsinger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, we only need an audience to make us feel complete!â&#x20AC;? This will be the first musical performed at the BAHS theatre since the 2007 building renovation, and the faculty and staff couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being involved in a musical is so enjoyable because it brings all the artistic disciplines together: singing, acting, dancing, and musicians. All are equally important and when blended together make for fine entertainment,â&#x20AC;? says Zimmerman. Students from Knoffsingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technical theatre classes have been busy building and painting the set since Septem-

ber while several advanced students are serving in the role of designers. With the recent edition of costumes from the Utah Shakespeare Festival, the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appearance is as impressive as its acting. Cast members include Lauren Dabiero as Princess Winnifred, Brandon Lengyel as Prince Dauntless, Marissa Weaver as Lady Larkin, Steven Bone as Sir Harry, Melissa Hilder as Queen Aggravain, and Jake Van Bramer as King Sextimus. Once Upon a Mattress tells the tale of a kingdom in turmoil. Before the knights and ladies of the land are free to wed, Prince Dauntless must first find the perfect princess to marry. With a mother whose main goal is to impede all marriage proposals, Dauntlessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; task is daunting indeed. When a princess from the swamp arrives at the castle, the lives of the royal family are turned upside down. Hilarity ensues. Tickets for the show will be available at the door for $7 per adult, $5 per student, and $3 per child twelve and under. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so thankful for the support of local businesses,â&#x20AC;? says senior Lauren Dabiero. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without their help, this show would not be possible.â&#x20AC;?

Lady Larkin (Marissa Weaver) and Sir Harry (Steven Bone) celebrate the prospect of their marriage in the Bellefonte High production of Once Upon a Mattress.

Voice Theatre: Under Milk Wood By Pat Park Blind Captain Cat, Polly Garter, and the other residents of the fictional town of Llareggub made their annual visit to The State Theatre on December 31. The characters from Dylan Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Under Milk Wood have become as familiar to some of us as if we, too, had spent some real time, at least a night and a day, in this Welsh town. Written originally as a radio play, Under Milk Wood depends on the actors to bring the characters and their actions to life through voice alone. On a bare stage except for seven chairs and seven actors, the town of Llareggub came alive. The playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program was not as accurate as I would have liked, so forgive me if I get some of the actors and their characters wrong. Each actor did such an impressive job that I would not want to overlook anyone of them. Kristine Allen played many roles, but the two that showed her abilities were the contrast between Polly Garter with her many babies from many lovers and Gossamer Beynon, who dreams of illicit love. Polly Garter is a favorite of mine and Ms Allen did not disappoint. According to the program, John Austin is new to playing multiple voice theatre but it was easy to catch the variations in his characters. I liked his Nogood Boyo. I hope that we see more of him in local theaters. Bob Barton has the most beautiful speaking voice and we knew that his parts would all be good. I was pleased with his Mr. Pugh, the man who dreams of poisoning his wife. This is another favorite character of mine. He adds just the right amount of humor.

ATTENTION LOCAL MUSICIANS!!! HAVE A NEW CD COMING OUT? DID YOU JUST CELEBRATE A MILESTONE ANNIVERSARY IN THE BAND?

Because Caitlin Osborne was Mrs. Pugh, among many other characters, she has to be mentioned next to Mr. Pugh. Caitlin made it easy to understand why Mr. Pugh would buy a book about the great poison cases in history and the people who got away with them. Ms Osborne showed great variety in her parts, going from Mrs. Pugh to Lily Smalls, the hired girl. John Churchill had the job of narrating the action both during the night as the residents slept and of helping us to hear their dreams as well as explaining their actions during the following day. Mr. Churchillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acting credits made him an excellent choice for the role. Oz Osborne is another experienced actor from whom we have come to expect great things. When his Cherry Owens and his wife laugh over his drunken antics, the laughter is contagious. We could understand how she could love both of her husbands, the drunk Mr. Owens and the sober Mr. Owens. Julia Laplante had the difficult job of doing the subtle sound effects as well as reading several characters. She deserves credit for being the sultry, wife number two to Dai Bread. Director Susan Riddiford Shedd gets a standing ovation of her own for putting such a talented cast and crew together. I overheard an audience member say that this was even better than last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. It makes us eager to see what will happen next year. Note to those of you who are not familiar with Dylan Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sense of humor: Llareggub spelled backwards is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bugger allâ&#x20AC;?. Thank you to cast, crew, and board for keeping such a gem of a theatre experience alive. Just send your band information -- however big or small the news is -- to The Gazette! We will start a new feature called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Centre of the Music Sceneâ&#x20AC;? which will feature information about the local band scene in Centre County. Â Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s country, rock, bluegrass, folk, jazz, rap -- whatever -- let us know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening! Â We might even do a full-length feature about it!
