Editor’s Prologue

Letters To The Editor

By Sandie Biddle, Managing editor editor@centrecountygazette.com

First things, first. Go Steelers! Though never a rabid football fan, the Steelers and the Nittany Lions can get me fired up. I hope you have a great Super Bowl Sunday – even if, non-fans, some of you get out of the line of fire and have a party of your own. Les has contributed pregame info, Centre County-style, in this issue.

We present you with an eclectic group of events and opportunities this issue – from minigolf in the halls of a State College hotel to a huge spaghetti dinner in Spring Mills – from a Penn State robot that can explore ancient weaponry to a children’s celebration of kazoo day – from the preservation of a brook trout stream to a glittering view of a local bridal show.

Brian E. Bassett uncovered another Hometown Hero, a 40-year ski patrol volunteer who’d just been surprised with a tribute party January 30. Jasmine Suarez soaked up the atmosphere at the United Way banquet. Don Bedell’s wife, Lori, managed to get a “ringside” seat for the Obama visit. Sam Stitzer stayed busy covering Eagle Scouts and events in Penns Valley.

From the world kick-off of the Bon Jovi tour to dozens of little tykes doing good deeds at St. John the Evangelist school in Bellefonte, we continue to spotlight what’s lively and wholesome about living in Centre County.

Do you have a romantic story about you and your sweetie? You have until Tuesday to write me. Check out the ways you and a loved one can celebrate Valentine’s Day in my special calendar of events. There are church suppers from plain to fancy, a Valentine’s crafts fair, a Valentine’s Massacre match of local roller derby gals, a free concert by the State College Municipal Band, a romantic movie night with Casablanca playing at the State Theatre, wine and chocolate tastings, and an awesome exhibition by the Harlem Globetrotters. Whatever your mood, your age, or your time in love – we have a suggestion to warm up next Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

As I continue to hone and ponder the real essence of The Gazette, I have come to the conclusion that this certainly isn’t a normal newspaper. In fact, I don’t think I’d call it a newspaper.

It’s more of a magazine, a good-news paper, a chronicle of the life in our hometowns. Readers have called it “the peoples’ paper” and a “looking glass” of central PA. Whatever you call it, call it yours.

While perusing the latest edition [1/28], I was stopped in my tracks. Literally. The candid photos of winter/family fun at Black Moshannon piqued my interest as I spent many summer months as a child trekking through the park, yet never considered visiting the park this time of year – until now!

The photos of the young gymnast were incredible...very good story, too. Bottom line, The Gazette is truly delivering to all its readers’ senses through its choice of photos, community events coverage, and articles, as well as its advertisers.

Although I am an avid visitor to Centre and a PSU Alum, I have gained some greater insight on the residents, businesses, and organizations of Centre County. The Gazette is a first-class publication and a superb “looking glass” into the region!

Thank you!

Sincerely, Nicole Fedeli-Turiano Hollidaysburg

A Call for Support I’m glad we have organizations like the Lions, Rotary, and Kiwanis clubs around the world helping people in local, state, and international communities whom we don’t even know personally. That’s why I support these organizations and am proud to be a supporter even though I am a man of meager means.

There is no political agenda when it comes to helping others in distress and need due to economic and social deprivation. There, but for the grace of God, go all of us. Some business and industry help to raise money as well as individual citizens to support those in distress and need.

What if you were born a Haitian today in distress or anyone of the numerous people around the world in need in rural and urban America, Africa, India, and many other countries? What would you do to help the poor and disenfranchised in the world?

The state association encourages all local chapters, like the Centre County Chapter of School Retirees, to annually present the Lauretta Woodson Recognition Award – given to one teacher and one support person within a school district who has exhibited creativity, initiative, or productivity relevant to the learning process and growth of children. The recipients are presented with a medallion, certificate, and pin provided by PASR and a small monetary gift courtesy of the members of CCASR.

The 2010 award recipients in Centre County are employed by the State College Area School District and were presented with their awards at the Monday, January 24 school board meeting by CCASR Education Support Committee member Mary Noll. Those recognized were John Kovalchik, music teacher at Mt. Nittany Middle School, and Mary Jenn Dorman, executive assistant to the superintendent and board secretary.

In recommending Kovalchik for this recognition it was stated that, “The success of the music program is a testament to the talent, character and respect he has demonstrated and instilled in students, from elementary to post graduation. …he teaches professionalism and citizenship which builds the self esteem needed for their future.”

Ms. Dorman was described as having “played an important role from the classroom to administration. She defines excellent customer service, and is incredibly positive, polite, and effectively handles her duties for the Superintendent’s office and the Board of School Directors, thus allowing all others to focus on educating the whole child.”

Hometown Heroes Jack Winter: Cool, Calm and Collected

By Brian E. Bassett

Dedication, professionalism, and commitment certainly apply to Jack Winter when describing his 41 years with the Penn State Outing Club Ski Patrol at Tussey Mountain, (formerly Skimont Ski Area). The PSOC was formed by Penn State Outing Club advisors and instructors in 1962 and kept its original name ever since, even though it is not a Pennsylvania State University organization.

Winter unknowingly helped to arrange his own tribute and surprise party Sunday, January 30 at Tussey Mountain Lodge and Restaurant. He even called and invited people to attend.

“The party came as a complete surprise, and was a humbling experience,” Jack said, because he had already received an award from the ski patrol and Tussey Mountain. In recognition of 40-years volunteer service to the PSOC Ski Patrol in Tussey Mountain Ski Area he was given two, wood-framed plaques engraved with gold letters on green background – one for display at home and one in the ski patrol building. He also received the first-andonly Tussey Mountain Lifetime Ski Pass.

The evening was supposed to begin as a roast. Due to a lack of roasting material, it evolved into time spent recognizing Jack for a job well done – in particular, for his efforts to ensure that the first-aid area was always clean and neat, and that the patrollers continued to fulfill their patrol responsibilities.

One gag gift, a whistle, was dubbed the “Jack Winter Award.” Jack was gently chided for blowing a whistle, in

ack Winter, at PSU Altoona, Alumni Council, mid-2000s years past, when he was in charge and people’s attention wandered.

After dinner, those who wished to speak stepped up to the microphone and fondly praised Jack for his contributions to the ski patrol. Winter admitted that he was a bit embarrassed when lauded for his leadership and training expertise in skiing, tobogganing, and first aid.

“We are a club patrol,” Jack pointed out. “As a club patrol, when Skimont wasn’t functioning, we were able to patrol as an affiliate at Black Moshannon

L to R - Patrollers Doug Reddy, Reedsville; Jack Winter, Boalsburg; and Jon Eckess, Pleasant Gap

while maintaining our club status and name. We continue to exist as the PSOC Ski Patrol regardless of which ski area we happen to serve.”

A ski-patrol member’s duties are: 1. to serve the skiing public; 2. to serve area management; and 3. to promote safety and accident prevention.

To become a ski patroller you must, at the very minimum: 1. complete a 60-hour ski course and pass a written and practical test; 2. complete a CPR course and pass a written and practical test; 3. ski at an intermediate level; and 4. learn how to bring an injured skier down the mountain using a fiberglass toboggan. Mandatory, yearly training and testing is required to maintain ski-patrol certification.

The ski-patrol uniform includes a readily identifiable red jacket with a big white cross on the back and a smaller one on the front, over the heart.

Jack considers receiving the National Ski Patrol Award, a general award for excellence, to be one of his greatest achievements in 1975/76. He was given a unique patch embroidered with the number 5235, specifically made for him to sew on his jacket. In the center of the patch is a white cross, making it easily recognizable by fellow patrollers as a National Award. Winter initially felt that this award may have been premature – but looking back over the years, believes to have been vindicated by his service as patrol director at Tussey Mountain for seven years, section chief of five ski areas, and regional director of 17 ski areas – including Seven Springs and Blue Knob, and encompassing 30,000 square miles of territory down to western Md. “I don’t think anyone can have a better thing done for them than to have their peers congratulate them for a job well done,” Winter concluded. “Even so, all I did, I did because it needed to be done and it was what I was supposed to do. I’m honored to receive this recognition.”

The relationship between sisters can be complicated. What can draw them close can sometimes be the same thing that tears them apart. Susan Rebecca White explores these conflicts between two sisters, Ruthie and Julia, in A Soft Place to Land.

Ruthie was in seventh grade and Julia was a sophomore in high school when their parents were killed in a plane crash.

The girls’ parents expected to live forever or at least until the girls were grown. As a re-

sult, following their parents’ death, the girls are separated.

Ruthie goes to live across the country in San Francisco with her father’s sister and her husband. Julia goes to live with her natural father who does not know her and a stepmother who does not want her.

In San Francisco Ruthie is raised by an aunt and uncle who accept and love her. She has the opportunities to meet people and to try foods and adventures that were not possible back in Atlanta.

When it is time for college, she fits in with the campus crowd at Berkeley.

Things are almost the complete opposite for Julia.

Her stepmother is very strict and not prepared to have her husband’s daughter to another woman in the house. Julia’s grief causes so much resentment and anger that she ends up in a facility run by her stepmother’s fundamentalist church.

The devotion and loyalty between the two sisters is challenged again and again. Julia can not help but be jealous of Ruthie’s lifestyle and an incident during her visit to Berkeley causes Ruthie to feel

betrayed.

The author, Susan Rebecca White, seems to understand the dynamics of fam-

ily life, whether it is stepparents or an aunt and uncle who are able to raise a child on love alone. She is able to break through the stereotypes that you would expect and she gives us flawed humans that we can care about.

White uses three different plane accidents to help us keep track of time and to move the story along. The first, of course, is the plane accident that killed the girls’ parents, but the Twin Tower incident and the crashing of US Airways Flight 1549 into the Hudson River also play a part. This adds much to the “ real feel� of the story.

I enjoyed this book. It is a story that women who have a sister will be able to relate to and women who never had one wish that they did.

Before the Aisle, the Bridal Show

By Kulsoom Khan

STATE COLLEGE – Brides and grooms-to-be along with family members came to the 2011 Central PA Bridal Expo at Celebration Hall on Sunday afternoon (1/30). The elaborate show featured a variety of vendors and representatives from local businesses to cover every aspect of wedding planning including formal wear, florists, caterers, photographers, entertainment, and reception accommodations.

The expo was co-sponsored by Simply Elegant Gowns, State College Magazine, Magnum Broadcasting, NittanyWeddings. com, Celebration Hall & Hoag’s Catering, the C. Barton McCann School of Art, and Always a Party Rentals. All three rooms used for the show were jam packed with potential customers and vendors as well with creative displays of elegant wedding cakes, colorful flower arrangements, delicious appetizer samples, and models showing off breath-taking wedding gowns.

Jerica Holtzinger was one of those beautiful models and was representing Simply Elegant Gowns. It was her first time modeling a gown. “It’s tiring, but it’s good getting to talk to people and promote business for Simply Elegant. They’re really great to work with,� she says about the experience. Holtzinger bought her own wedding dress from Simply Elegant and says they have exceptional customer service. “They’ve helped me every step of the way, everything I needed they’ve been able to do for me.�

Even though popular culture depicts brides to be the center of a wedding, grooms were not left out at the expo.

Robert Steinbach was there representing Connections Tuxedos and has been attending the event for many years. He thought the new vanue (Celebration Hall) was a great asset for the show.

“It’s worked out great,� he says. “I think we’re busier today than we’ve been and I think it’s real positive.� He also thinks that Connections Tuxedos is an affordable option for grooms in the midst of this recession with specials such as the rent-onetuxedo, get-another-half-off deal.

Erica Mowrer, the owner/designer of Mowrer’s Flowers was attending the expo for the first time and was enjoying talking to potential customers. “There’s been a lot of people coming through – a steady flow of people all day and I think there’s a lot of interest in the work I’ve been doing, There are a lot of brides that seem to be looking for the right price and especially in this economy, they’re looking for someone who can help them out on a budget, so I’m excited to work with brides to put a picture to use of what they have imagined for their wedding,� she says.

Deborah Schafer of Bridal Make-up Artistry held a series of make-up workshops to show women how to do their make-up for the big day. “We help them mainly to get their bridal party on the same page,� she says. “They could have a wacky cousin that

wears purple glitter eye shadow and they don’t have the heart to tell her that wouldn’t be appropriate for their wedding, but we can do that diplomatically – get them all looking good and photographing well.

We always tell the brides those pictures are going to be around for at least 50 years – it’s something to think about.�

Young entrepreneur, Nicole Swanger, was there to promote her unique wedding cakes through Cakes By Nicole. Swanger has been making wedding cakes for about six or seven years and says business has been going quite well since she first started working out of her home. She also says that the cakes are threedimensional and are sometimes in the shapes of objects such as a purse. “We kind of try to do different stuff – like not just the big tier wedding cake,� says Swanger. “We try to go Floral display by Daniel outside the box a little Vaughn Designs bit.�

From the overwhelming turnout and the excited smiles on all the vendors and sponsors’ faces, it was easy to see that the 2011 Central PA Bridal Expo was a great success!

Kazoo Day at Schlow Library

Centre Country Meets Shaner Challenge, Raises Money for CVIM

By Kulsoom Khan

STATE COLLEGE – The Eighth Annual Friends & Family Campaign to benefit Centre Volunteers in Medicine has come to a close. The campaign, which raises funds to support uninsured and underinsured Centre County friends and neighbors, kicked off prior to Thanksgiving and ran until year end.

Once again, Lance and Ellen Shaner challenged the community to donate funds with the offer of matching the first $50,000 raised, a tradition that began in 2005. Once the donations were $2 Million Rasied totaled and all gifts counted, more than $2 million was raised to sup- to benefit port Centre Volunteers in Medicine with their mission: To provide Centre Volunteers medical and dental services as well in Medicine as case management services and medical assistance to Centre County residents who are without insurance coverage.

Cheryl White, Executive Director for CVIM said, “CVIM and Centre County is very fortunate to have the support of Lance and Ellen Shaner. Not only is it a tremendous gift to our campaign, but it also allows others to feel great about doubling their donation to CVIM.”

STATE COLLEGE – When it comes to music and musical instruments, the kazoo may not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, it’s been around for a long time. The kazoo was first produced in the United States in 1852 and was co-invented by two men, Alabama West and Thaddeus Von Klegg. It was then used in popular music in the late 1800s through the 1900s and had a significant influence on the Jazz and Blues genres.

In honor of National Kazoo Day, Schlow Library held a Kazoo Festival on Saturday, January 29. Children and parents both attended to join in the fun and were provided with colorful, plastic kazoos. The majority of the program consisted of playing and singing some old favorite children’s songs such as The Farmer and the Dell, Wheels on the Bus, John Jacob Jingle Heimer

Schmidt, and London Bridge. She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain was done twice, the regular version and a really fast version as well.

Almost every song brought an enthusiastic and excited response from the children, inspiring them to get up off the floor, stand up, and clap. In addition to songs, the kazoos were played as sound effects to help tell a story about getting into a car and going to McDonald’s. The kazoo sound helped illustrate the “vroom vroom” sound of a car engine. There was also a story told about going to the circus and seeing all the circus animals. The monkey and elephant noises were illustrated with the kazoo.

Toward the later part of the program, classic nursery rhymes such as the Itsy Bitsy Spider and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star were performed. There was also a suggestion box, where children could pick a song or another activity to do that was written on pieces of paper, so the event concluded from something

drawn from the box, which happened to be the ever-popular Chicken Dance.

Both parents and children got up and danced for this cute finale. Who knew that one could have so much fun with such a tiny and simple instrument?

Saturday was Kazoo Day for the kids at Schlow Library.

Robots Explore the Past

Ski Patrol Members Recognized BOALSBURG – Penn State mechanical engineering students recently completed the design, construction and testing of 21st century technology that will be used to understand the manufacturing principals of the distant past. The Radial Measuring Device (RMD) is designed to image the inside surface of artillery tubes providing researchers with data on the construction of those Renaissance weapons of war. The RMD successfully scanned a naval artillery tube on its inaugural test run with a real artifact at the Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg. Under a summer 2011 grant from the British Academy, part of the PSU team will travel to museums in Paris, Copenhagen, and Berlin in an attempt to unlock the secrets of design from the 15th century, when artillery was just becoming a potent force on the battlefield.

The Thursday Night Duty Section of the Tussey Mountain Ski Patrol recently recognized two veteran patrollers in an evening awards ceremony atop Tussey Mountain.

Ben Gotwalt, PSU student and recent transfer from Ski Roundtop, and longtime Tussey patroller Jon Eckess of Pleasant Gap were inducted into the coveted “Combat Crew” class of the volunteer mountain rescue organization. The Tussey Mountain Ski Patrol provides search-and-rescue services for the outdoor recreational public as well as promoting skier safety and outdoor safety awareness.

The Democratic Watchman – April 10, 1868

NEW HOTEL: Mr. Bush has purchased the lots lying between the race and Spring Creek, north of High Street and we understand he intends to erect a fine hotel upon it. Mr. Bush has done a great deal for Bellefonte and while he has accumulated a fortune for himself, he has done it in such a way as to make money for every property owner in town. He deserves great credit for the energy and ability he has manifested.

The Democratic Watchman – April 30, 1869

BUSH HOUSE – D. G. Bush, Prop’r.

– Bellefonte – This large and beautiful new hotel is now open for the accommodation of the traveling public and summer boarders. The house contains one hundred rooms which are being furnished in elegant style.

It is convenient to the depot and is reached without any extra expense or trouble. The table will always be furnished with the best the market affords. No trouble or expense will be

spared to make its guests comfortable. Ample stabling is provided, attended by careful and attentive hostlers.

The Democratic Watchman – June 11, 1869

Philipsburg, this county, has a population of 1,738.

The Democratic Watchman – January 28, 1870

One of the finest audiences ever assembled in Bellefonte gathered at Reynolds’s Beautiful Hall on Tuesday evening, to greet Horace Greeley. The elite of Bellefonte were present and among the male portion of the crowd, we noticed an equal number of Republicans and Democrats. The ladies turned out strong and the array of handsome faces and beautiful dresses was really exhilarating.

Horace Greeley was much pleased with his reception and treatment at the Bush House by Mr. Rikard. He was furnished with the best the house afforded, done up in the best style and left with the most favor-

able impressions of that establishment and its good looking and popular proprietor.

Centre Reporter (Centre Hall Newspaper) – February 3, 1876

BOARD WALKS NEEDED – The Centre Reporter has this to say, more board walks are badly needed in this place. From Reeseman’s to Sloat’s the mud can’t be beat.

Likewise from the post office to the lower end of town. It costs but $5 to $6 to lay a boardwalk across a lot. Who will be the first?

Centre Reporter – March 20, 1876

THE HORNS for the new Centre Hall Band have arrived and now look out for the walls of Jericho. There is excellent band material here. Jerome Spiegelmeyer, Dr. Jacobs, Fred Meyer, Gust Wolf and L. Meyer have belonged to other bands thus giving the organization the advantage of experienced “blowers.”

Centre Reporter – March 28, 1878

Hurray for Churchville. It has received a post office and is now called Tusseyville, with S.M. Swartz as Post Master Random Bellefonte Facts:

John Dunlop’s brother-in-law, James Harries, was the surveyor who laid out the town of Bellefonte in 1795, which was then known as “Big Spring.”

Bellefonte’s first post office was established in 1798.

Centre County was formed on February 13, 1800 and the County Courthouse was erected in 1805.

The four Valentine brothers and Jacob Thomas took over Dunlop’s iron works after his death.

In 1857, bituminous coal was discovered at Snow Shoe and brought to Bellefonte in 1892 by the Allegheny and Bald Eagle Railroad.

Eagle Scout Candidate Holds Child I.D. Session

By Sam Stitzer

SPRING MILLS – Toby Smoyer of rural Spring Mills is a junior at Penns Valley High School, and a member of Boy Scout Troop 88 of Millheim. He’s been involved in scouting from Cub Scouts, through Webelos, and on to Boy Scouts, and now aspires to attain the scouts’ highest rank, that of Eagle Scout. Among the Eagle Scout requirements is the completion of a publicservice project which benefits his community.

For his project, Toby chose to organize and conduct a Child I.D. session at the Old Gregg School Community Center in Spring Mills on Saturday, January 29. The Child I.D program provides materials to record a child’s fingerprints and other descriptive information, which is kept by parents in a pamphlet which can be given to law enforcement personnel in the event of a child’s disappearance. Thanks to modern technology, fingerprints can be scanned into computers and sent to law enforcement agencies nationwide (or worldwide) in a matter of minutes via the InToby Smoyer helps ternet. This can save valuable a girl record her time in their efforts to locate a fingerprints. missing child.

Toby’s mother, Terri, said that Toby got the idea for this project from an episode of the NCIS television show last year. The episode involved a boy whose fingerprints unexpectedly matched a set of prints on a national database of abducted children. The NCIS investigators then went about finding the boy’s biological parents, and determining how, when, and by whom he had been abducted. Toby discovered that the State College Police Department offers child identification packets to the public.

He figured that offering these packets and conducting a fingerprinting session in the Penns Valley area would make a good Eagle Scout project. Last September, when Toby began organizing the event, he found great cooperation at several turns. The State College Police donated the child identification packets free of charge, and Robin Bastress, the director of

Golfing for a Cause

By Ebun Adewumi

STATE COLLEGE – The first green ended up in the elevator, another green traversed a swimming pool, and yet another green was two stories high. This clearly was not just any minigolf course; this golf course was inside a hotel. Made up of 18 holes, complete with different pars, the State College Comfort Inn and Suites hosted the Kiwanis fourth annual miniature golf fundraiser. The Kiwanis Club of State College sets up the fundraiser to raise money for the Park Forest Day Nursery and other youth events in State College. The event was held Sunday January 30 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The idea for the hotel miniature golf course came from Kiwanis member and the Comfort Inn manager. She thought the idea would be a welcome relief during the winter months when not much is going on. Last year the golf course saw 170 participants; a number the club was hoping to surpass this year.

Sponsors of the fundraiser included Stitch Your Art Out, Jerry and Jane Wettstone, First National Bank, Center County Recycling, Kiwanis Aktion Club, Northwest Bank, Registering to play Paul and Kathryn Mackes, Balfurd’s Cleaners, Ann and Bob Graves, Penn State Circle K, Walk’s Service Center, Penn State Golf Courses, and Comfort Suites.

the Old Gregg School Community Center, donated the use of a room at no charge. He also obtained refreshments and door prize donations from several local merchants.

Present at the Child I.D. event were several members of Troop 88, their assistant Scoutmasters Kevin Smoyer (Toby’s dad) and Russell Norton, and two officers from the State College Police Department, Greg Koehle and Eric Lesher. Officer Koehle, who is the department’s Community Relations Officer, said he was glad to donate the I.D. packets for

Toby’s project, and that the department also makes these materials available at several events in Centre County, such as the 4th Fest, Law Enforcement Day, and others. The officers pointed out that fingerprints are a lifetime identification tool, since even as a child grows, his or her fingerprints will never change.

At the Child I.D. session, Toby Smoyer led children and parents through the fingerprinting process, and gave parents instructions regarding pertinent information to include in the pamphlets, such as recent photos, the child’s height, weight, hair color, eye color, etc. The parents left with their child identification packets, and with a little more peace of mind, knowing that if the unthinkable happens, they will have a helpful and valuable tool to give to law enforcement personnel – help in their race against time if attempting to locate a missing child.

Congratulations to Toby Smoyer and Troop 88 on conducting this Child I.D. session.

HOPE Fund Holds Spaghetti Dinner

By Sam Stitzer

CENTRE HALL – The Penns Valley HOPE Fund held an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner at the Centre Hall-Potter Elementary School cafeteria on Saturday, January 29 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Penns Valley HOPE Fund is a charity that helps residents in the Penns Valley area who are facing medical emergencies or personal disasters. The HOPE Fund has assisted more than 20 families in Penns Valley, and has dispersed more than $78,000 since its beginning in August of 2008.

HOPE Fund board of director’s member and meal organizer, Dan Gensimore, said the event served about 700 meals, and “it was a lot of fun, but hard work.” Dan’s crew consisted of many volunteers from local churches and the community.

Members of the Penns Valley girls’ softball and basketball teams served (pun intended) as the wait staff to keep things moving smoothly. Soccer team members set the many tables used for the meal. A tour of the kitchen found about a dozen people cooking sauce, spaghetti, and breadsticks, as well as preparing salads and desserts. Most of the food for this meal was donated by local merchants, and the remainder is purchased locally. The desserts were made by local residents, and two large cakes were baked by Culinary Arts students at the CPI school in Pleasant Gap.

At the 4 p.m. start time, the school lobby was already filled with people waiting to get in. They soon filled the cafeteria, and enjoyed a delicious meal.

In addition to the meal, live entertainment was featured, including the Contemporary Christian music group Glorified, the Brush Mountain String Band, and the Covalts gospel-singing family from Penns Valley. Behind the stage, in the school gymnasium, was a sitting area for folks to watch the entertainment before and after their meal, and in the other half of the gym, supervised activities for children were going on. This was a lively area!

In the lobby, Suzie and Dean Johnson were selling 50-50 raffle tickets and promoting the “HOPE 100” program. They would like to get 100 people to donate $500 per year to the HOPE Fund. In exchange for their donation, the donors would be admitted free to any HOPE Fund activities for the entire year. Suzie said that even though it was only January, they were already one-quarter of the way to their goal!

People from all over Penns Valley and the surrounding area were seen enjoying a great meal, socializing with friends and family, and finding relief from wintertime cabin fever.

They left the school filled in more than one way. Of course, their stomachs were filled with great food, but their hearts were filled with the satisfaction of knowing they had helped to support a charity that helps people through catastrophic times. Dan Gensimore and the HOPE Fund board would like to thank everyone who participated in this event for their hard work and generosity.

UNIVERSITY PARK – Imagine a candlelit room, roses, delicious food, and a sophisticated atmosphere that only adds to the regal air of all the attendees. It’s the Centre County United Way Campaign Celebration that took place at the Penn Stater Conference Center on January 31.

The event began with a sophisticated reception that included mingling with others and tasting a delicious assortment of food, and went into the program where Ted McDowell, the campaign chairman, presented a moving speech and awarded other members for their stunning efforts in Centre County United Way. More than 200 people attended, including journalists snapping photos, community members, donors, and

other friends of Centre County.

The Centre County United Way is a volunteer-driven organization. Their mission is to improve lives by prioritizing, mobilizing, and creating constant positive changes in community conditions. During the campaign celebration, Ted McDowell revealed that the amount raised for 2010 was a staggering $2,165,992. He also introduced Christian Brady as the 2011 Penn State Campaign chair and passed the torch to Scott Lamb and Hugh Mose, who will be leading the 2011 campaign.

The Centre County United Way has been a tremendous help to the community and the surrounding residents as it continues forward with fundraising and campaigning. Centre County United Way funds 40 health and human service organizations throughout the county and doesn’t plan on stopping there.

As Ted McDowell stated in his speech at the 2010 campaign celebration, “We’re hoping to hit our goal of $2.2 million as we still receive checks from our donors,” he says. “We’re all looking forward to contributing to our community and we couldn’t have done it without the hard work of everyone who contributes and participates.”

Super Bowl History of the Green Bay Packers

Steelers Super Bowl History

By Les Barnhart

If the NFL had a Mount Rushmore of NFL franchises, the Green Bay Packers would certainly be one of the first faces put up. They are an iconic franchise that traces its roots back to 1896 but it wasn’t until 1919 when Earl “Curly� Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun founded the franchise and made it official.

Since that time, the Green Bay Packers have won twelve league championships (more than any other team in the NFL) including nine NFL Championships prior to the Super Bowl era and three Super Bowl victories in 1967 (Super Bowl I), 1968 (Super Bowl II) and 1996 (Super Bowl XXXI).

The arrival of end Don Hutson from Alabama in 1935 gave Lambeau and the Packers the most-feared and dynamic offensive weapon in the game. Credited with inventing pass patterns, Hutson would lead the league in receptions eight seasons and spur the Packers to NFL championships in 1936, 1939 and 1944. An iron man, Hutson also led the league in interceptions in 1940. Hutson claimed 18 NFL records when he retired in 1945, many of which still stand. In 1951, his number 14 was the first to be retired by the Packers, and he was inducted as a charter member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963.

In 1960, the Packers, led by Paul Hornung’s 176 points, won the NFL West title and played in the NFL Championship against the Philadelphia Eagles at Philadelphia. In a see-saw game, the Packers trailed the Eagles by four points late in the game, when Chuck Bednarik tackled Jim Taylor just nine yards short of the goal line as time ran out. They claimed that they did not “lose� that game; they were simply behind in the score when time ran out on them.

The Packers returned to the NFL Championship game the following season and faced the New York Giants in the first league title game to be played in Green Bay. The Packers scored 24 second-quarter points, including a championship-record 19 by Paul Hornung, on special “loan� from the Army (one touchdown, four extra-points and three field goals), powering the Packers to a 37–0 rout of the Giants, their first NFL Championship since 1944. It was in 1961 that Green Bay became known as “Titletown.�

The Packers stormed back in the 1962 season, jumping out to a 10–0 start, on their way to a 13–1 season. This consistent level of success would lead to Lombardi’s Packers becoming one of the most prominent teams of their era, and even to their being featured as the face of the NFL on the cover of Time on December 21, 1962, as part of the magazine’s cover story on “The Sport of the ‘60s�.

Shortly after Time’s article, the Packers faced the Giants in a much more brutal championship game than the previous year, but the Packers prevailed on the surprising foot of Jerry Kramer and the determined running of Jim Taylor. The Packers defeated the Giants in New York, 16–7.

The Packers returned to the championship game in 1965 following a two-year absence, when they defeated the Colts in a playoff for the Western Conference title. That game would be remembered for Don Chandler’s controversial tying field goal in which the ball allegedly went wide right, but the officials signaled “good.� The 13–10 overtime win earned the Packers a trip to the NFL Championship game, where Hornung and Taylor ran through the defending champion Cleveland Browns, helping the Packers win, 23–12, to earn their third NFL Championship under Lombardi and ninth overall.

The 1966 season saw the Packers led by an MVP season from quarterback Bart Starr. The

Packers went 12–2, and in the NFL Championship, with the Packers leading 34–27, the Dallas Cowboys had the ball on the Packers’ two-yard line, threatening to tie the ballgame.

But on fourth down, the Packers’ Tom Brown intercepted Don Meredith’s pass in the end zone to preserve their victory in against Dallas. The Packers went on to win Super Bowl I 35–10 over the Kansas City Chiefs.

The 1967 season was the last one for Vince Lombardi as the Packers’ head coach.

The NFL Championship game, a rematch of the 1966 contest against Dallas, is better known as the Ice Bowl, due to the brutally cold conditions at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Still the coldest NFL game ever played, the Ice Bowl remains one of the most famous football games (college or professional) in the history of the sport. With 16 seconds left, Bart Starr’s touchdown on a quarterback sneak brought the Packers a 21–17 victory and their third straight NFL Championship – a feat no other team has matched since. The Packers then won Super Bowl II with a 33–14 victory over the Oakland Raiders.

After the death of Vince Lombardi in September 1970, the Super Bowl trophy was renamed the Vince Lombardi Trophy, in recognition of his and his team’s, accomplishments. Lambeau Field has had a street address of 1265 Lombardi Avenue since 1968, when Green Bay renamed Highland Avenue in honor of the coach.

In Super Bowl XXXI Green Bay defeated the New England Patriots 35–21 to win their 12th world championship, which is still an NFL record. Desmond Howard was named MVP of the game for his kickoff return for a touchdown that ended the Patriots bid for a comeback. A 2007 panel of football experts at ESPN ranked the 1996 Packers the 6thgreatest team to ever play in the Super Bowl.

The following year the Packers won their second consecutive NFC championship, returning to the Super Bowl as an 11½ point favorite, defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 21–7 and San Francisco 49ers 23–10 in the playoffs. The Packers ended up losing to John Elway and the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXXII, by the score of 31–24.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the most storied franchises in all of professional sports. This weekend, they will be looking to win their unparalleled seventh Lombardi Trophy. Here is a look back at their Super Bowl History: Super Bowl IX – Steelers 16, Vikings 6

In their first Super Bowl appearance, the AFC Champions stifled the Vikings offense throughout the game. The Steelers gained 333 yards of total offense, 158 of those yards came from Franco Harris’s 34 carries. Harris was named the game’s Most Valuable Player with his performance.

Super Bowl X – Steelers 21, Cowboys 17

The Steelers Cowboys rivalry played out for the first time in the post season, as they both were vying to tie the Green Bay Packers and Miami Dolphins, having won two Super Bowl titles. Lynn Swann caught a 64-yard Terry Bradshaw touchdown pass, and the Steel Curtin ended the Cowboys chances of walking away with the Lombardi Trophy on a last second interception from Roger Staubach in the end zone with no time on the clock.

Swann would be named the game’s Most Valuable Player.

Super Bowl XIII – Steelers 35, Cowboys 31

Terry Bradshaw threw for 318 yards and four touchdowns as the Steelers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 35-31. Bradshaw’s career high for passing yards would earn him Most Valuable Player for the game. John Stallworth caught two of Bradshaws touchdowns in the first half. He also threw touchdowns to Lynn Swann and Rocky Bleier during the game.

Franco Harris added the fifth score on a 22 run in the fourth quarter.

Super Bowl XIV – Steelers 31, Rams 19

Terry Bradshaw would win his second Super Bowl MVP, throwing for 309 yards on 14 completions as the Steelers won their record fourth Super Bowl ring. Bradshaw would be picked off three times, but the Steelers held on with a late Franco Harris touchdown run sealing the victory.

Be my valentine

Super Bowl XXX – Cowboys 27, Steelers 17

Neil O’Donnell, meet Larry Brown.

Larry Brown stole the show, as he picked off O’Donnell twice. Brown was named the Most Valuable Player for reading O’Donnell’s eyes all night long. He was then rewarded with a nice fat contract in the offseason from the Oakland Raiders. The Steelers/Cowboys rivalry seemed to be coming to the forefront as it did in the 70’s. But alas, the Steelers would not see Super Sunday until 2006, as the Cowboys were capping off their run as “Team of the 90’s�.

Super Bowl XL – Steelers 21, Seahawks 10

Jerome Bettis drove the Bus to Detroit, his hometown, for what would be the final stop in an illustrious career. The Steelers fifth Super Bowl victory tied them with the Cowboys and the 49ers for most Super Bowl victories all time. Willie Parker ripped off a 75-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter to give the Steelers a 14-3 lead. Later in the quarter, Ken Whisenhunt would reach into his bag of tricks, as Antwan Randle El would throw a 43-yard touchdown pass to game MVP Hines Ward.

Super Bowl XLII – Steelers 27, Cardinals 23

The Steelers entered rare air in Tampa, winning their record sixth Super Bowl Trophy. Pittsburgh’s James Harrison recorded the longest play (in yardage and time elapsed) in Super Bowl history, as he intercepted a Kurt Warner pass in the end zone and returned it 100 yards for the score. With 2:37 left in regulation, Larry Fitzgerald caught a slant and split the Steelers defense and raced 64 yards for the go-ahead score. Not one to be outdone, Santonio Holmes would catch a six-yard Ben Roethlisberger touchdown pass with 35 seconds remaining. Holmes uses some fancy footwork in the back corner of the end zone, catching Big Ben’s last ditch effort to avoid the upset to the Cardinals. Holmes would go on to be named the game’s MVP, becoming only the sixth wide receiver in league history to win the award.

SUPER Keys to Packers Claiming the Ultimate Piece of “Cheese�

By Les Barnhart

The Green Bay Packers, a Wild Card team from the NFC, was installed early as a slight favorite over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV. In order for the Packers to claim their thirteenth championship (nine came before the Super Bowl came to be) and their first since 1996, they will have to deal with a team that looks very much like the team they face every day in practice. Here are a few keys that may provide the Packers their fourth “Vince�.

1. Finding rhythm on offense: The Packers will need to try and find some balance against the NFL’s top ranked defense that allowed just 207.5 yards per game. The Steelers are very strong against the run as they allow just 52.5 yards per game and undoubtedly will try and make the Packers offense one dimensional. Aaron Rodgers is the triggerman on an offense that ranked fourth in the NFL this season (369.0 yards per game) and they have been every effective in their three playoff wins; all on the road. The Packers, as effective as their passing offense is at (251 yards per game), has a running game that ranked second to Pittsburgh’s 118.5 YPG with 118.0 per game.

2. BJ Raji against the center of Steelers’ line: With question marks surrounding whether the St e e l e r s’ rookie P r o B ow l center Maurkice Pouncey will be lining up over the ball on Sunday, the Packers’ nose tackle BJ Raji has the potential to be a HUGE factor. Not because he is in fact a big man, but because he is as disruptive in the center of the line as anyone in the league. Even with Pouncey at full strength, Raji would command a double-team. Now with Pouncey perhaps dealing with was reported by NFL Network as possibly a broken bone in his left ankle, his effectiveness has to be a concern even if he does play. If he doesn’t, back-up center Doug Legursky will have a daunting task in front of him‌on almost ev-

ery snap.

3. Keep Rodgers upright: The Steelers will get after Rodgers all night. With Harrison, Polamalu and Taylor coming from every direction on blitzes (and those are the ones you see), the Packers offensive line will have their hands full on every passing down. Should the Steelers neutralize the Packers’ running game; you can count on that pressure being amped up even more. Rodgers missed a few games this season with a concussion and despite being a mobile quarterback he stands behind a line that has allowed 43 sacks this season as well as 78 hits on the quarterback this season.

That isn’t something that is lost on the Steelers defense.

4. Pressure and contain Big Ben/ avoid the “ground and pound�: The Packers know how dangerous Big Ben can be in or out of the pocket. He does a very good job of extending plays and picking up effective yards using his feet. Clay Matthews and the Packers defense will need to keep pressure on him and force him to his left instead of the right where he is the most dangerous. The Packers also need to force stops on the field and avoid the long drives that allow the Steelers to get the running game going.

That is where they “ground and pound� their opponents and wear them down.

5.

Strength against strength-Packers passing game v. Steelers defense: Strip all the other stuff away and what it boils down to is what teams do best.

The Packers throw the ball as well as anyone in the league while the Steelers play defense better than anyone. The Steelers pass offense ranks second in the league and allows just 155 yards per game. If the Green Bay line can provide Rodgers the protection he will need, he will complete passes, but what happens after the catch is going to be critical.

The Steelers tackle well and hit like sledgehammers. Which side is more successful may very well be the ones that stand on the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium floor hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

By Matt Masullo

SUPER

BOW L

Green Bay’s Path to Super Bowl XLV a “Wild� One

Steeler Season Wrap-up

By Les Barnhart

The Green Bay Packers were picked by several prognosticators in the preseason to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. The Packers road to the Super Bowl was not an easy one. They lost the division to rival Chicago and had to settle for a Wild Card spot in the playoffs. That meant they would be playing all their games on the road including a rematch in the NFC Championship game that would have them head back to Chicago.

The season opened with a 27-20 road win at Philadelphia that in the process made Michael Vick a starter again in the City of Brotherly Love after Kevin Kolb was knocked out of the game. Despite their first win in Philly since 1962, the Packers suffered a loss as starting running back; Ryan Grant injured his ankle and was lost for the season.

It was back home for week two as the Pack opened their home schedule with a 34-7 win over Buffalo. Week three had them back on the road as they traveled to Chicago in a game that would leave just one team undefeated in the division. The Bears used two late field goals from Robbie Gould to post a 20-17 win as the Packers slipped to 2-1.

Green Bay returned home for another division opponent in week four as Detroit came to town. The Packers defense prevented the Lions from coming back late as they held on for a 28-26 win.

On two occasions during the season, the Packers had two-game losing streaks. The first of those came in weeks five and six against non-playoff teams. The first of those was a 16-13 loss on the road at Washington followed by a rare home loss to Miami, 23-20, in week six.

Brett Favre and the Vikings came to town in week seven in a game that amounted to a must win for Green Bay. The Packers picked off Favre three times on a Sunday night game while Rodgers tossed two touchdowns in the 28-24 win.

The win over the Vikings started a four game winning streak for the Packers. That streak included a 9-0 road win over the New York Jets in week 8 and a 45-7 dismantling of Dallas on another Sunday night game and a 31-3 throttling of their old friend, Brett Favre, in Minnesota.

Their winning streak ended with a tough road loss at Atlanta, 20-17, to drop their re-

cord to 7-4. They rebounded with a 34-16 win at home over San Francisco before losing 7-3 at Detroit in week 14.

The scoreboard showed one loss for the Packers that day but it was the loss of Rodgers to a concussion near the end of the first half that would help result in their second two-game losing streak. That second loss came the following week as Matt Flynn filled in for Rodgers and almost pulled an upset at New England but fell short, 31-27.

The loss to the Patriots on Sunday night in week 15 is the last loss the Packers have suffered. They ended the season with two home wins over the Giants (45-17) and picked up a season split with a 10-3 win over the rival Bears in the regular season finale to give the Packers a 10-6 record.

The win over the Bears would prove to be the win that got the Packers into the playoffs after they secured one of the two Wild Card spots. They opened the postseason against the same team they opened the regular season with, Philadelphia, and did so with similar results as Tramon Williams picked off Michael Vick in the endzone with 36 seconds remaining to preserve the 21-6 victory.

Green Bay then advanced to the NFC Divisional Round where they would travel to Atlanta to face a Falcons team that many believed would advance to the Super Bowl. The Packers used 28 second quarter points including a 70-yard interception returned for a score

by Tramon Williams. They would never look back and would cruise to a 48-21 win.

Next up was a third game against their rival and number two seeded Chicago Bears in the NFC Championship Game. The game was played in Chicago on the frozen tundra of Soldier Field and game temperature of a balmy 20 degrees. The Packers scored touchdowns in the first two quarters and led 14-0 at halftime. The second half opened with the Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler on the sideline with an apparent injury. Caleb Hanie, the Bears’ third-string QB, led the Bears back but an interception returned 18 yards for a touchdown by BJ Raji in the fourth quarter (the Packers only second half points) proved to be the difference in the 21-14 win that sent Green Bay to the Super Bowl for the first time since they lost to Denver and John Elway in Super Bowl XXXII (1997).

Entering the season, experts predicted the Steelers to finish third in the AFC North behind the Ravens and the Bengals. Most of the pessimism came from the fact that the Steelers would enter the season without their franchise quarterback for the first four games of the season due to a suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. When Ben Roethlisberger took the helm after a Week 5 bye, if they were 2-2, Steeler Nation would be ecstatic.

With Dennis Dixon at the helm in Week 1 versus the Atlanta Falcons, the Steelers defeated the eventual number one seed in the NFC in overtime, 15-9. It wasn’t pretty, but on the second play of overtime, Rashard Mendenhall ripped off a 50-yard touchdown run to send those in attendance at Heinz field into an uproar. Dixon would start in Week 2 vs. the Titans, but give way to Charlie Batch after injuring his knee. Dixon would spend the remainder of the season on IR with the knee injury joining recently signed Byron Leftwich.

Batch played in the next two games vs. the Buccaneers and Ravens, and had it not been for a T.J. Houshmandzadeh touchdown reception with less than a minute remaining in the first Ravens game, Pittsburgh could have been 4-0 without the man who led them to two Super Bowl victories in the past six years. The Steelers weathered the storm like they often tend to do, and headed to the bye week at 3-1.

When Big Ben came back in Week 6, he threw three touchdown passes to defeat the Browns, 28-10. So much for him coming out rusty having not played since the preseason.

After a close victory versus the Dolphins in Miami, Pittsburgh dropped its second game of the season to the defending Super Bowl Champ New Orleans Saints. They exchanged wins and losses over the next two weeks to the Bengals and the Patriots. The Patriots shredded the Steeler defense at Heinz Field, defeating the black and yellow 39-26.

The beat down from the Patriots sparked a nice run for the Steelers, destroying the

Raiders (35-3), edging out the sneaky Buffalo Bills in OT (19-16), and using their big play capabilities on defense to defeat their rival Baltimore Ravens (13-10). Roethlisberger played the game on a bum foot and was the recipient of a broken nose thanks to Haloti Ngata.

The Steelers used their Pistol offense most of the game to eliminate Ben dropping back to pass or to handoff. Eventual NFL Defensive Player of the Year Troy Polamalu would turn the tides late in the game, as he had a sack/ fumble on Joe Flacco that led to an eventual Issac Redman touchdown reception.

Carson Palmer and the Bengals were on the docket in Week 14, and brought a turnover machine with them to the Burgh’.

Polamalu and LaMarr Woodley would both return interceptions for touchdowns in a 23-7 rout of their division foes, who were predicted to finish ahead of them back in early September. In Week 15, the Jets came to town and defeated the Steelers 22-17. Roethlisberger did have two shots at the end zone in the waning minutes, but backup tight end Matt Spaeth would have both passes go through his hands.

That would be the last loss on the season, as they would go on to defeat the Panthers (27-3) and Browns (41-9). At 12-4, they clinched the number two seed in the AFC, and received a first round bye in the playoffs.

In the Divisional Playoffs, they would face a rubber match versus the hated Ravens. In an atypical high scoring affair, the Steelers upended the Ravens 31-24. The Jets came back to Pittsburgh for the AFC Championship game, and would end up falling just short as the Steelers got 121 yards from Rashard Mendenhall in the 24-19 victory.

A long season with many ups and downs has led Pittsburgh to the Promised Land for the third time since 2005. It would put an exclamation point on one of the most storied seasons in franchise history. Should they come away victorious Sunday, many will use the word “Dynasty� thanks in part to their recent six year run. One might also use the words “Americas Team�, fitting, being that the game is being played in Dallas.

Centre County teams look to advance in District 6 Duals

By Les Barnhart

The directions that you get from a GPS or the internet wouldn’t have you go through Tyrone to get to Hershey but they don’t know how wrestling works. Three Centre County teams will be looking to get to Tyrone this Saturday hoping that will lead them to Hershey the following weekend. Unlike the Class AA, where the top two teams advance to Hershey, the Class AAA title is very much a sought after title as only the champion moves on represent District 6 wrestling.

The District 6 Duals will culminate this Saturday at the Tyrone High School with the semifinals getting underway at 5pm and the finals following at 645pm. One of three Centre County schools will be wrestling on Saturday in Tyrone but which one still remains a mystery.

State College and Bellefonte will get together to settle their differences on the mat at some point before Saturday. Bald Eagle Area also has a trip to Altoona looming as the two teams meet again on the Resilite.

Weather, always a tough foe, again caused weather issues for the teams this week. The teams were originally scheduled to wrestle on Wednesday night but Bellefonte and State College had moved their match to Tuesday and then storms forced closure of the schools on Tuesday.

Bald Eagle Area (5-3) and Altoona (10-5) already faced once this season and the Eagles prevailed 52-27 on January 4th. The winner of that match will advance to the semifinal round on Saturday and will face the topseeded and undefeated Westmont Hilltop (11-0). They made the move from Class AA to AAA and have done so seemingly with little difficulty. In their closest match this season, they won 39-31 at Penn Cambria on January 11th. Westmont Hilltop has dominated in their last four dual meets, having scored 60+ points in each while allowing no more than 9 points to their opponents.

The three-time defending District 6 Duals champions, Central Mountain (10-1) come in as the second seed in a season that was supposed to be a season in which they were “rebuilding”. Their only loss came to host Cedar Cliff at The Cedar Cliff Duals on January 8th. The winner of the Bellefonte-State College match would meet the Wildcats in the semifinals on Saturday.

Central Mountain and Bellefonte met in the first dual meet of the season on December 14th and the Wildcats won easily, 55-12. In the wrestling world, early December is a long time ago.

Spotlight proves to be too bright for Nittany Lions

By Les Barnhart

UNIVERSITY PARK – The Nittany Lions wrestling team seemed to have it all last Sunday before their monumental matchup with the Iowa Hawkeyes in Rec Hall.

The buildup to the first match all seemed to point towards Penn State bringing the Hawkeyes’ winning streak to an end at 72 in the same building in which the storied program had their last road loss on February 4th, 2007.

On Sunday, it didn’t take long for Iowa to show that despite the Nittany Lions undefeated record, Penn State is still not on the level they need to be to be considered o n e of the elite programs in the nation. The Hawkeyes (10-0-1) opened with Matt McDonough, ranked second in the nation at 125-lbs, pinning Nate Morgan in 4:16. That was followed up by #10 ranked Tony Ramos making a takedown and an escape stand up against Andrew Long’s two escapes in a 3-2 win to give Iowa an early 9-0 lead. Long was ranked fifth prior to the loss.

It looked like the Nittany Lions (13-1) would turn the momentum back in favor of the home crowd, all clad in white, when Andrew Alton head locked Montel Marion to his back early in the first period for a five-point move. Alton seemed to have his opponent pinned if only briefly. Undaunted, Marion mounted a comeback and recorded what would stand as the winning points on a takedown with: 15 to upset the #5 ranked Alton, 11-9.

The fans seemed to get back into the match even if the Nittany Lion grapplers didn’t as Frank Molinaro got Penn State on the board at 149-lbs where he defeated Mark Ballweg, 10-3, to cut the dual meet score to 12-3. David Taylor continued what looked like a comeback when at 157-lbs, he majored Derek St. John, 12-4, and sliced the score to 12-7 and brought life back into Rec Hall.

Iowa squeezed a little of that life out of the Lions and their faithful when Aaron Jensen picked up a 6-2 decision over

freshman Jake Kemmerer to push the score to 15-7 with five bouts to go.

Penn State got those points back at 174-lbs when freshman and second ranked Ed Ruth used four takedowns to defeat Ethen Lofthouse, 10-3. That brought the Nittany Lions back to within five points with Quentin Wright taking the mat against #16 ranked Grant Gambrall.

In their bout, Wright showed signs that he still has not recovered completely from the shoulder injury he suffered earlier in the season. Gambrall collected three takedowns while wrestling a very defensive match against Wright. That approach paid big dividends for Iowa wrestlers on Sunday as they used a less than aggressive approach that was rarely called by the referee working the center of the mat.

Wright came up short in a disappointing 8-3 loss to the sixteenth ranked Iowa sophomore. That pushed the dual meet score to 18-10 and meant that the Nittany Lions would need wins from both Justin Ortega at 197-lbs and Cameron Wade at heavyweight.

The Nittany Lions’ bid to end Iowa’s winning streak ended when Luke Lofthouse majored Ortega, 17-6, and put the dual meet out of reach at 22-10. Wade picked up a 1-0 win over Blake Raising at heavyweight to set the final score at 22-13 in favor of Iowa as their winning streak reached 73 straight.

The loss dropped the Lions from the top spot in the nation but they didn’t slide far as they sit third in the updated USA Today/NWCA rankings. Iowa, with the win, jumped to the second spot while Cornell reassumed the top spot they lost after dropping a 17-15 decision to Lehigh on January 20th.

The Nittany Lions have four more key Big Ten dual meets to close out the season including a trip to East Lansing tonight against Michigan State followed by a visit to Ann Arbor on Sunday to battle the #13 ranked Wolverines.

Eagles avenge early season loss to Raiders

By Matt Masullo

Rivalry games are always exciting, especially at the high school level; Bellefonte versus Bald Eagle is no different. After a tie ball game at the end of the first quarter, Bald Eagle never looked back, upending their archrival Red Raiders of Bellefonte 79-71. The Eagles, who lost to the Raiders 68-62 early in the season, got a big night from senior Justin Taylor who was returning from a two game absence due to an ankle injury. Taylor scored a game high 24 points before fouling out with 6:38 remaining in the game.

In the first quarter, the game could have been confused for a two-on-two tournament, as Taylor (11 points) and Tyler Bennett (12 points) accounted for all of the Eagles scoring. The Raiders were also a two-man show for the most part, with Zach Moerschbacher scoring 10 and John Kowalchuk adding 9. Those two accounted for all but four of the Raiders 23 points in the quarter. Heading to the second quarter, it appeared that both teams left their defenses on their respective benches.

That’s when the Eagles went with a youth movement, playing with two freshmen (Ryan Dyke and Bryan

Greene) and two sophomores (starter Dennis Fisher and Clayton Cingle). The four underclassmen proved to be defensive specialists, holding the Raiders in check during the second quarter. The Eagles went to the locker room with a 44-38 lead, although at one point, had as much as a twelve-point lead over Bellefonte.

In the second half, the Raiders fought back on numerous occasions, cutting the deficit to one point thanks in part to a three-point Corey Strouse play with just under six minutes remaining in regulation. They also got some inspired play from Jason Jarvis, who was returning from an injury of his own.

Bellefonte was in the double bonus late in the game, but several missed free throws doomed a dinged up Raider squad, who were missing senior Robbie Proper.

The Eagles proved to be too much down the stretch though. Adding to Taylors 24 points were Bennett’s 17, Fisher’s 12 and Cingle’s 12 points. The Raiders were lead by Moerschbacher’s 21 points. Kowalchuk scored 18, and Jarvis and Strouse added 13 and 11 respectively in the loss.
