Editor’s Prologue

By Sandie Biddle, Managing editor editor@centrecountygazette.com

I picked my first daffodils yesterday. I gave every one of them to my mom at her nursing home. Some folks need to have faith in spring more than others. I hope it brightened her dreary day.

That’s what daffodils and tulips do for me – give me a fresh, happy feeling of rebirth.

Others may take their cue from the first robin’s song, the smell of a spring rain, planting onion sets, taking down the storm windows, or wading into the creek on the first day of fishing season.

Next Saturday, trout fishermen will line our beautiful creeks and lakes. They’ll camp overnight or leave home at dawn. They’ll go quietly with family or friends, or take a solo pilgrimage to their secret spot. We’ve gathered a few rules, tips, sources, and ideas for the beginner, family, or avid fishermen.

There are many who would like to keep this fact secret: central PA holds some of the finest trout streams in the nation. Though Saturday’s season begins for stocked areas and fishing for sport and food, many of our pristine streams hold rare native trout that are protected, revered, and put gently back into the water all year round.

The rest of this issue is chock full of talented neighbors – young and old. Karen Dabney followed Happy Valley’s Got Talent competition to its exciting end. Penns Valley sixth graders created a world’s fair atmosphere with the help of Lock Haven University Students. Penn State and State College schools sponsored a traditional Native American Powwow at the Mt. Nittany Middle School. Cub Scouts created their own Pinewood Derby cars. There was even a rock band camp that gave birth to new rockers, young and old.

A young photographer held her first gallery showing, young Bellefonte artists are exhibiting their works at the Gamble Mill, and the Bellefonte Museum will host artworks with a canine theme, Artful Dogs. Even our favorite local photographer, Bill Coleman, will be having a sale of his works to benefit the United Way.

There is fresh talent everywhere we look – in our schools, churches, libraries, community buildings, and museums. What’s your talent? How do you express yourself?

You’ll notice that I’ve broken our What’s Happening calendar into categories so you can more quickly locate the type of event you want. All of the entertainment events have migrated to the Save the Date column in the Entertainment section.

Next issue we’ll feature another sure sign of spring. It’s the kickoff of Blue/White Weekend. We’ll also have a special spot for an Easter events’ calendar, both secular and sacred.

Send in your notices.

Remember those who are not able to feel that fresh air or appreciate the promise of sunny days ahead. Take them your flowers, handmade Easter candy, a potted plant, fresh asparagus, or just your own sunny smile.

Letters To The Editor Thank You The State Elks Hoop Shoot Coordinating Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank the State College Elks membership for its role in acting as the host Lodge for the 2011 State Elks Hoop Shoot.

This event was flawless, as usual, thanks in no small regard, to the efforts of the countless volunteers from the State College Elks Lodge.

Many individuals take care of the Friday evening registration process and welcome reception, and those events certainly do not go unnoticed. Our thanks, too, goes to Bob Deak, of Domino’s Pizza. Many volunteers take part in the on-court activities, to include line judges, ball retrievers, and chaperones.

All in all, this is a fantastic week-end for the kids who participate, for the parents and grandparents who accompany the kids, and for the Lodges, as well.

Well done all!

Penns Valley Sixth Graders Hold World’s Fair Day

By Sam Stitzer

On Wednesday, March 30, the sixthgrade students at the Penns Valley Elementary and Intermediate schools held a World’s Fair Day, aka Around the World. For this event, the students traveled “around the world” through seven classrooms, viewing displays and hearing presentations on 13 different countries. Each presentation included components of the country’s literature, geography, fine arts, and food. Countries represented were: Sweden, The United Kingdom, The Republic of Ghana, Australia, Japan, Egypt, Brazil, South Korea, France, Italy, Poland, India, and Mexico.

The presentations were given by senior students in the Elementary Education program at Lock Haven University. There were 27 LHU students involved in making the presentations. They were led by professors Dr. Priya Poehner and Kathy Richards.

The LHU students began preparing for their presentations on the first day of the spring semester. One of their requirements was to meet (or use Skype video conferencing) and interview someone from the country of their presentation. They practiced their presentations for five hours on Monday before

coming to Penns Valley. The students travel to several schools in the central PA area, but this was their first time at Penns Valley. Dr. Poehner worked with PVEI teacher, Angela Homan to arrange the event.

As the sixth-grade students traveled from country to country, they were greeted by impressive displays of posters, artifacts, literature, and they got to sample native foods. Many of the presenters dressed in traditional native costumes. Some student participation projects were also involved.

For example, in the Sweden area, the kids made models of Viking ships from craft sticks and paper, and at the Brazil display, they made woven bracelets. The United Kingdom presenters even gave the students a lesson in Irish step-dancing. Look out, Riverdance, these kids learn fast!

Learning is what school is all about, and the sixth graders at PVEI learned a lot about other countries and cultures during their trip around the world. We thank the students of Lock Haven University and their professors for coming to Penns Valley and helping to make learning a hands-on, fun experience for our sixth graders.

India presenters wore traditional dress.

Italian opera was discussed in the Italy presentation.

Each spring, the Central Intermediate Unit # 10 organizes an elementary reading competition for students in Grades 4-6. Students are given the opportunity to compete against one another, in teams, to see who can correctly answer the most questions about the books they have read. The reading list is available in the fall of each year, and the winner is determined by the cumulative scores in three rounds of competitions.

Winning teams receive first, second, third place and grand prize trophies.

This year, four of the seven teams from the Bald Eagle Area School District received trophies at the reading competition, which was held at the Keystone Central High School on Saturday, March 26. Mountaintop Area teams received First, Second, and Third Place trophies, while the Wingate Elementary team received a Third Place trophy. The Howard Lava Readers, Howard Sugar Babies, and Port Matilda Ever Ready Readers also participated in the Elementary Reading Competition.

Capturing a Dream

By Jasmine J. Suarez

STATE COLLEGE – While most teenagers still dream of what they want in life, 16-year-old Lindsay Cousins has already begun pursuing a dream of her own. Inspired by Cody Goddard’s Dreamer’s Project, she became interested in photography and was later asked by her art teacher at Our Lady of Victory Catholic School, Heather McQueary, to coordinate a photography exhibit of her own.

In February she began her project entitled “Capturing a Dream” where she photographed 27 students – capturing their dreams of what they aspire to be when they grow up.

It allowed her to exercise her creativity and her newfound love of photography. The State College Framing Company Lindsay...Capturing a Dream and Gallery displayed her photos. The “Capturing a Dream” Her photography was displayed at State College exhibit began March 20 and lasted until March 31. Lindsay’s Framing Company and Gallery work was sold when the exhibit ended.

“It was so amazing to have all of my work displayed for everyone to see. It’s kind of nerve wrecking when I think about it but I’m also proud of myself,” says Lindsay.

Now more than ever Lindsay knows that photography will be a part of her life. She’s focusing on schools that will be able to sate her artistic appetite and give her the tools she needs to succeed in the world of photography. She’s aiming for something in commercial photography.

“Although I haven’t been involved in photography Our Lady of Victory church that long, I love it. I took a photography class just OLV teachers with Heather leaders...Fr. Matt Baum and to fill an empty space in my school schedule but I’m McQueary on right Monsignor Lockard glad I did it because I loved it – I took drawing classes

Superintendent Dan Fisher said, “I am pleased and proud that BEA was able to send seven different teams to this competition. Preparing for an event like this takes months of hard work and preparation – whether or not the teams returned a trophy to their schools, they are all winners. The students and coaches represented their schools, Bald Eagle Area, and public education extremely well.”

in the past and drawing can take a lot of effort when since you have to create an image from nothing, but with photography you can capture an image in an instant; I think Lindsay’s “self-portrait,” taken in there’s a lot Savannah, GA, home of Savannah more versatility College of Art and Design, where Lindsay hopes to go to college. with photography,” says Lindsay.

Before photography was introduced to Lindsay however she had an eye for art – she loved to draw, create collages, and express herself in any creative way possible. She’s always known that she wanted to do something with art, she just didn’t know what, and has been embarking on a journey to discover what will ultimately make her happy.

“If I was given another opportunity like this I would take it in a heartbeat,” says Lindsay. “I’m putting together a portfolio because I want to go to art school. I want to go to The Savannah School of Art and Design because I really like what they have to offer. I’m so happy for all of the opportunities that I have been given and I want to continue with what I’m doing now because it makes me happy.”

She established many programs that allow students to exhibit positive social interaction among students with and without disabilities. Her students continue to enjoy icecream making and cooking experiences that incorporate math and reading skills. Recently, she coordinated efforts with fourth- and

Mr. Zimmerman, BHS Class of 1973, is the Band and Choir Director at Bellefonte Middle School. His 34 years of teaching include 26 as the elementary band director with eight years at his current position. He is a member of the Centre Heritage Singers and the Bellefonte Community Band as well as adult leader with Boy Scout Troup 370 of Bellefonte.

who are involved in the show, some counting on the cool million dollars and some for more personal reasons.

Slowly we learn the individual secrets that the producers are scheming to reveal.

Laura and Cassie are mother and daughter. One night Laura woke up to find that her daughter had given birth in her attic bedroom. Laura feels that the time spent together during the filming of the show will help to heal the rift between them.

Abby and Justin are newly weds.

They had met three years earlier through a Christian ministry to “cure� gays. We hear Abby’s voice more than we do Justin’s.

Surprisingly, Justin turns out to be a very major character in the plot.

Juliet and Dallas are ex-child stars.

they were very young. Juliet sees the show as a way to get back her earlier fame. She is afraid that the producers will show the two of them as “bratty child stars who grew up in la-la land.�

Carl and Jeff are brothers who provide some of the comedy relief for the show.

Carl is the father of a son who has gone through a serious illness. He is not willing to allow the producers to make his son’s story part of the drama of the show.

The book has some surprising twists and you do get to know these people. It was easy to like and root for several of them.

I am not familiar with this type of show, but I have wondered from the promotional ads how much the producers maneuver the outcome. Parkhurst may have given us some insight.

Making, Baking, Breaking: Reflections of a Bread Baker How do you make bread?

By Curtis Knepper

My father was hospitalized recently and I bumped into my college mentor visiting Dad. We chewed the fat awhile and the question came up about how I got from working on multi-million dollar engineering projects to working with children. Engineer’s have the expression “Stuff happens.”

Some day I’ll write about how working with special needs children is the perfect training-ground for anyone going into an engineering discipline. The same skill sets are required to manage the personalities but educators have the advantage of being trained to work with the unruly. Oh, how many times in my former life I wish I knew the phrase “One, two, three eyes on me.”

One thing led to another and we ended up talking about teaching bread baking. After patting our waistlines, assurances on my part that bread is healthy eating, have you looked at the recent food pyramid and the government whole grain recommendations for a healthy heart? His real question was, “How do you make bread?”

Simply put, bakers use formulas and cooks have recipes.

Baking is nothing but science. Cooks are free to add and take away as their taste buds dictate but bakers are driven by the biological and chemical reactions that control their process.

The living creatures the baker uses require an appropriate environment to survive. I have log/time graphs that plot the amount of CO2 gas produced against the initial dough temperature, ambient room temperature, dough hydration, and type of yeast. Chester’s response was “I thought you gave up on science.” No, I still love the sciences; it’s the keyboards

and computers that give me brain damage.

I know grandma never followed a recipe or knew about the Maillard reaction. She just put her hands into the dough and knew when it was ready. Undoubtedly, baking is a digital process. The sensory feed back loops are essential to the baker. After 40-plus years of baking, the dough talks to me and tells me what it needs.

Let’s try and answer the original question. The single most important tool that a home baker needs is an inexpensive digital scale. To consistently make high quality product you must start with accurate measurements. The dip and dump method of measurement results in a 20 percent difference in amount of flour going into the product. All modern bread formulas are based upon the amount of flour. The amount of water, salt, and yeast is relative to quantity of flour going into the product. In baker’s math, a French baguette is 100 percent flour, 63 percent water, 2 percent salt, and 1 percent yeast.

No matter if you need three pounds or 50 pounds of dough the ratio of ingredients is essential to the final product.

The only variable the baker controls is the hydration. In wintertime and as the wood burner dries out the air or if you bake in New Mexico, you may need to add 20 percent more water.

When you bake with your granddaughter in North Carolina, you cut back on the water to account for the humidity.

The Artisan Baker controls the fermentation process to build the desired flavor profile, uses oven spring to get the open crumb texture, and baking temperature with steam to make a crust that you hear with each bite. Yes, good bread talks to you with each bite. I want to hear that distinct crunch as the crust crumbles in my mouth. These are techniques you learn but it all maps back to the original formula.

In my experience, the

great cooks that try to bake are marginal bakers at best. Their wonderful creative dishes overshadow the under-baked bland rolls served in restaurants. It’s no wonder you must slather the butter on the rolls for flavor.

Good bread requires no fat. I cringe when people automatically reach for the butter dish with my breads. Maybe I’ll serve an olive oil dip with rosemary and black pepper.

A baker may make an acceptable meal but bread always is the centerpiece of a great meal. Why else is the bread basket always the first thing placed on the table.

The day this was written, there was a two-hour school delay because of snow. There is a special fundraiser for a family in need at our school. I am putting the delay to good use. A batch of Double Chocolate Croissants is proofing on the counter as I write. Today, I unveil to Centre County the ultimate of French cuisine to support this fundraiser. I am so blessed to work at Pleasant Gap Elementary where the slogan “Where Children Come First” is put into action everyday. It is the small school with a great big heart.

In response to my previous article on baking with children, I’ve included a recipe for the potato dough that I use for dinner rolls. This is quite versatile dough. This is a grandma-type of bread that I used for years. I updated the formula to give the equivalent metric measurements.

Besides dinner rolls it makes a great Apricot Cream Cake.

Take about one third of the Potato Refrigerator Dough and roll out into a 15-inch circle. Place over a ring mold, spoon cream cheese filling into the center and lap the edge of the circle over the filling and seal. Let rise for an hour and bake for 30 minutes in 350ºF oven. Remove cake from pan and top with melted apricot jam. Garnish with powder sugar.

Happy Baking!

I’m happy to help anyone with bread baking questions, problems, or just swapping baking stories. I can be reached at moreaboutbread@ gmail.com.

Versatile Potato Roll Recipe 1 pkg active dry yeast (7 grams) 1 ½ cups warm water (105-115 degrees) (375 grams) 2/3 cup sugar (132 grams) 1 ½ tsp salt (10 grams) 2/3 cup shortening (121 grams) 2 eggs (994 grams) 1 cup lukewarm mashed potatoes (250 grams) 7 to 7 ½ cups all-purpose flour (843 to 903 grams)

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl with a teaspoon of sugar and let proof for 5 to 10 minutes. The yeast is active and go to go when it becomes bubbly and foamy.

Remember if you use Instant Dry Yeast, you can skip this step and add the yeast with the dry ingredients.

Stir in sugar, salt, shortening, eggs, potatoes and 4 cups of flour. Mix well until the batter is smooth. In baker’s parlance, you want the flour to be completely hydrated. Hold back one cup of flour. Add the remaining flour one cup at a time until dough is easy to handle. Use just enough flour so that the dough is not sticky to your hands and comes away from the side of the bowl.

Turn the dough onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic – five to 10 minutes. Add the reserved flour a little at time, use just enough so that it does not stick to your hands. The key to a soft roll is using just enough flour to get the job done.

Place dough in greased bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for eight hours. The dough will keep for five day in refrigerator. If you intent to keep the dough for several days degas the dough by punching it down, recover tightly, and return to refrigerator.

When you are ready to bake punch down the dough, divide it into working quantities, shape into rolls, let rise for 45 to 60 minutes, and bake as directed.

Braided Dinner Rolls – Use ⅓ batch of potato dough. Make egg wash by mixing together one egg and one tablespoon water.

Divide dough into 18 parts and roll each part into a rope seven inches long. Lightly flour the ropes and braid three together.

Pinch ends together and tuck under to seal.

Place on lightly oiled or parchment paper line cookie sheet. After rolls have risen, brush with egg wash, and then sprinkle poppy or sesame seeds. Bake 375º for 15 minutes Parker House Rolls – Use ½ batch of potato dough. Divide dough in half and roll each half out into 9 by 13 inch rectangle. Brush with soft butter, cut three-inch circles with biscuit cutter, fold in half and press edges together, place closely together on prepared round baking pan, brush tops with butter, let rise till double, and bake at 400º for 13 to 15 minutes.

Crescent Rolls – Use ½ batch of potato dough. Divide dough in half and roll each half out into 12-inch circle. Brush with soft butter, cut circle into 16 wedges with pizza cutter, roll up into crescents beginning at outer edge, place on prepared baking pan with points down and slight curve to the ends, brush tops with butter, let rise till double, and bake at 400º for 13 to 15 minutes Hamburger Buns – Use ⅓ batch of potato dough. Divide into 12 pieces. Shape into smooth ball and slightly flatten with palm of your hand. Place one inch apart of prepared baking pan, let rise until double. Brush with butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 400º for 13 to 15 minutes.

Other shapes are cloverleaf, layered rolls, single or double knot, or plan round dinner rolls. See The King Arthur Flour Baker’s Companion pages 222 and 223 for good illustrations. *Note: If you don’t have leftover mashed potatoes on hand, microwave a medium peeled, cubed potato in three tablespoons salted water for five minutes. Push through a ricer or strainer.

Penns Valley Biomass Boiler Project Proceeding

By Sam Stitzer

The Penns Valley School District is proceeding with a project to install a biomass boiler to provide heat for the high school, intermediate school, and a maintenance building, all located along state Route 45.

A biomass furnace burns fuels such as wood chips, wood pellets, switch grasses, and other relatively inexpensive, non-petroleum fuels with very high efficiency, producing almost no smoke, and only a small fraction of the emissions produced by comparable oil-fired units. These factors could yield an annual heating cost savings to the district of as much as $150,000 per year, depending on fuel prices. Pumps and underground piping will circulate hot water to heat exchangers in the buildings to provide heat.

Ground was broken last September for the dedicated building to house the boiler and attendant machinery. Construction has proceeded since that time, and the steel support structure for the walls and roof has been erected. A below-ground storage area for the wood chip fuel has been built, and the underground hot-water piping to the school buildings is complete.

Steel structure for the boiler building is complete.

According to Penns Valley Physical Plant Manager, Rob Pacella, the boiler fabrication has been completed, and the unit is sitting at the facility of its manufacturer, Advanced Recycling Equipment, Inc. in Saint Mary’s. It will be delivered and installed after the 12-inch thick concrete slab floor has been poured at the building. Pacella said that the project encountered some delays due to bad weather in recent months, but is on track to be up and running for the 2011-2012 school year.

BELLEFONTE – Bellefonte Museum pays artful tribute to human’s best friend, the dog, through paintings, sculptures, photographs and antiques. The exhibition takes a sweeping look at the dog in art. Since ancient times humans have produced images of their dogs, and prehistoric evidence even suggests the bond between human and dog may be more than 20,000 years old. The Artful Dog exhibition explores a range of work from around the world to demonstrate what is known – that virtually every culture has shared an attachment with the canine species.

The exhibit is April 24 to June 19. The opening reception is Sunday, May 1, 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Museum hours are: Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and by appointment.

This artistic tribute to the pooch is comprised of a vast array of works including ancient Asian antiquities, paintings and prints, bronze and clay sculpture, commercial art, toys, and folk art.

Over the centuries the dog has been valued for its usefulness as a working animal, hunting partner, guard dog, and loving companion. The role of the dog as a true and loyal friend and as a guardian and support system is inarguable.

Gallery of Pet Photos Fund raising event for Centre County PAWS and the museum

In addition to the art collection on exhibition, the museum will display photos of local pets. Everyone is invited to send a photo of his or her pet with a $5 contribution for each photo. Photos become the property of the museum and they will not be returned. Checks should be made out to the Bellefonte Museum and mailed to P.O. Box 125, Bellefonte, PA 16823.

Workers lay steel reinforcing rods for the concrete slab floor.

PennDOT Detours & Delays Clarence Bridge

Work to replace the Clarence Bridge in Centre County began Friday, April 1. The bridge is located on Route 4002 (Clarence Road) in the village of Clarence.

A section of Route 4002 is closed from Clarence, south to Route 144 in Snow Shoe. A detour using Route 144 is be in place. Residents living within the road closure will be able to access their homes.

Project work includes replacing the current bridge with a new, one-span, concrete beam bridge, approach and roadway paving, drainage items, guide rail installation, pavement markings, and miscellaneous construction. PennDOT expects the Clarence Bridge to be open to traffic by mid-July.

This bridge replacement is part of a $1 million contract that also includes

replacement of a smaller bridge between Cattail Road and Route 144. Work on that bridge will begin after the Clarence Bridge is complete. Francis J. Palo, Inc. of Clarion is the contractor on this twobridge project.

Routes 26/220/I-99 near Bellefonte

Concrete pavement repair that began in 2010, returned this week and could cause traffic delays on Route 26/220/I-99 near Bellefonte. The Centre County construction work stretches from the I-80, Bellefonte interchange to the Route 550 interchange. Drivers will encounter closures of the right (travel) lane northbound and southbound.

Roadway saw cutting has begun and should continue through Tuesday, April 12. No weekend work is anticipated.

Motorists should be alert for construction

vehicles entering and exiting construction areas.

All work is weather and schedule dependent. Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. is the contractor on this $2.5 million project. Overall work includes pavement repair, drainage, guiderail upgrades, paving, and miscellaneous construction.

PennDOT expects this project to finish in early September. PennDOT will issue updates on this project as work activity requires.

Millheim Cub Scouts Hold Pinewood Derby

By Sam Stitzer

The Cubs’ cars showed a wide variety of creative designs and finishes.

John Hawkins registers the race cars in the computer.

Dave Dorman uses a template to check a car’s dimensions.

Even Pinewood cars need a pit stop! Russell Selner makes a quick repair.

MILLHEIM – Auto racing – it’s a great sport! Who doesn’t love the speed, the excitement, and the competition? But race cars are extremely expensive, complicated, and dangerous. There must be a simpler way to enjoy four-wheeled competition. Well, it turns out that there is a simple, safe, and enjoyable way for youngsters in our area to enjoy the thrill of racing. It’s the Pinewood Derby, held each year by Cub Scout packs all across America.

Pinewood cars are just seven inches long, and can weigh a maximum of five ounces.

They don’t need engines, brakes, or even steering. The Cubs and their parents work together to carve the racers from a block of pine, then finish and assemble them. The pack gathers once a year to race the cars on a wooden downhill track in what might be called the Grand Prix of gravity.

Cub Scout Pack 88 in Millheim held their annual Pinewood Derby on Sunday, March 20, at the Millheim Fire Hall. Nearly 50 cars were inspected by leader Dave Dorman. Dave checked the cars’ dimensions and weights for conformance to the official Pinewood Derby rules. Once the cars passed inspection, race coordinator, John Hawkins, registered each car and its owner, entering the data in a laptop computer. The computer contained software which chose the cars for each of the three-man heats, and kept track of race times.

The three-lane racetrack, borrowed from the Bellefonte Cub pack, is fitted with electronic sensors to measure and record the cars’ times from start to finish line, and it feeds that data to the computer. This is high-tech stuff! The cars for each heat are chosen by the software in a way that each boy gets to race every other boy at least once. Overall winners are determined by who has the fastest times.

Many heats were run that day with quite a few very close races, which generated a lot of excitement and cheering among the boys and the large group of spectators. When the derby was done, the top three finishers and their cars were: First Place – Richard Markle – Red Candy Coupe

The Cubs looked over their competition.

Second Place – Aiden Dorman – The Shark Third Place – Nicholas Miller – Nick of Time

These boys each received a trophy for their fine efforts. In addition, awards were given out for best paint job, looks most like a race car, most colorful, most unusual shape, and others. This reporter was recruited to be one of the judges for these awards, and I must say it was NOT an easy job! The cars were small, but they were all big in the creativity Richard Markle shows his car, the and skill they showed. It was really tough to Candy Coupe, styled after a 1934 pick winners.

When the Cubs were finished racing, the Ford hot rod. Richard won first place “siblings and adults” class cars took the track. in the derby, as well as the best paint job award.

This class showed the closest finish I have ever seen in any kind of race. In one heat, Korey Selner edged out Wade Auman by an unbelievable .0008 seconds. That’s just eight ten-thousandths of a second! Wow, that’s about as close as you can get! John Hawkins won first place in the adult class.

Get ready……Get set……Go! Russell Selner operates

According to Pack the starting gate for a heat.

Leader Beth Selner, the Millheim pack’s membership has doubled in the past year. She attributed this increase to word of mouth (boys telling their friends what fun they’re having in Cub Scouting), and some displays at various school events. This event was certainly an example of the Cubs, Millheim Pack 88 and leaders pose for a group photo parents and spectators after the race. having fun. Congratulations to Millheim Pack 88 for providing a great afternoon of racing and some great fun for all!

Kids of Military Parents Saluted

By Kulsoom Khan

STATE COLLEGE – Those who serve in the military are greatly respected and honored in this country. However, the third annual “Salute to Military Child Family Fun Fair” on Sunday shifted the focus on children who have parents in the

military, because April is the “Month of the Military Child.”

The event celebrated military families and included games, door prizes, and presentations from organizations that help military kids and families. It was coordinated by Penn State Extension’s “Operation: Military Kids” program in partnership with students from the Penn State Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Management class, “Programming in Recreation and Leisure Services”.

Barbara Stodter was at the fair representing and giving information about U.S. Army Child Youth & School Services located in Carlisle. Stodter is the Instructional Programs Manager and says that the program offers many classes and activities for children whose parents are in the National Guard, reserve, or active duty. This includes art and music classes, homework help after school, sports leagues, and summer camps. Stodter says the organization also does a lot of outreach activities with Operation Military Kids, boys and girls clubs, and 4-H.

“We’re basically reaching out trying to touch all of the children in the community – not just the active-duty kids – because there’s a huge number of Pennsylvanians that are deployed and their kids are just as important as any other military child,” Stoder said.

Diana Brocious was representing Pennsylvania Families Incorporated, a statewide network, which is funded by a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Brocious, who is the project director for PFI, says the organization’s focus is on military children with “special needs.”

“Everything they [those who serve in the military] go through with the deployments and trauma, the injuries – it’s a very unique culture, the military and those children definitely fall into a category of special needs,” she said.

Brocious says that PFI helps families find resources and support groups and also covers issues such as addiction, autism, and mental health. PFI also helps locate support groups for those who have lost parents that were in the military.

Brocious has a personal connection with the work she does, because she has family members and friends who have served in past wars. She says that the project officer for PFI’s grant on the federal level is a gold star mother. “Her son is dead, so you don’t have to go very far [to find someone who relates to this cause] and every one of us in this organization has raised children that have some type of special need, so we understand.”

The Truth about Supplements

Here’s a statistic that will blow your socks off – more than $500 million was spent last year on supplements for dogs and cats.

Industry experts predict even more growth this year, with owners buying vitamins, gels, liquids, and all sorts of soft chews. By law, the FDA has limited oversight over supplements, just the same as with “people” supplements. It pays to be cautious and know what you’re buying and why you’re giving it. Some human supplements can be shared with dogs, but be sure before you do – best to ask the vet.

Here are some of the most common supplements and their advantages.

Joint Enhancers

Glucosamine with Chondroitin (some have MSN as well): The intent here is joint support. This combo helps to repair cartilage and keep it from breaking down. This may be used throughout a dog’s life to keep joints limber as the dog ages. Many veterinarians will prescribe Cosequin and/or Dasuquin because of their pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, guaranteed contents and research on safety. MSM is also beneficial in controlling inflammation and pain and is better used in conjunction with glucosamine and chondroitin. You can share yours with your dog, if the supplement is high-quality to begin with. It has been proven that some humangrade glucosamine supplements do not have the proper dosage and using too little is the same as using none at all. Best to buy a highquality supplement if you’re going to buy it over-the-counter.

Fish Oil

The Omega-3 fatty acids in this oil act as anti-inflammatory agents. They help skin, coat, joints and the heart. A 2007 Cummings School Study found that boxers with heart problems had fewer occurrences of ventricular arrhythmia after taking fish oil for six weeks. Recent studies published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association found that dogs with osteoarthritis experienced reduced pain and greater mobility after eating foods containing high omega-3 fatty acids. This is a proven supplement and one worth doing.

There is the question of mercury-poisoning in large fish used for supplements, and after studies in 2008 by pathology experts, it was determined that the mercury is at safe levels. If you don’t quite trust that, then sardines are an excellent choice because as small fish, they have very small levels (if any) of mercury. Flax seeds or oil are the top source of omega-3s and can be added to your dog’s food very easily, but fish oil is still thought to be the best source. My dogs love sardines and get three a week!

Brewers Yeast (with garlic)

This product promotes healthy skin and coat and can even help control shedding in some dogs. There have been no scientific studies reporting benefits, but veterinarians who recommend this do so because it is a good source of B vitamins that play important roles in maintaining skin and coat health. Most commercial pet foods already provide B vitamins, so this supplement may

not be necessary. Check your dog food bag.

Calcium

The intent with calcium is to maintain bone health, but this supplement is not needed if you’re feeding a complete and balanced commercial food. In some cases such as in large-breed puppies, it can actually be harmful so it’s not recommended. There’s also the issue of the phosphorus/calcium ratio and this is very important. You can’t increase one without the other. Best to leave it alone.

Probiotics

If your dog seems to have chronic stomach upset, intestinal issues or soft stools/ diarrhea, a good probiotic might really help.

Forti Flora is one that the vets use and it provides millions of “good” bacteria for your dog’s gut (ask about it). There are hundreds of other probiotics on the market you could try, but one simple thing you can do is to get a grocery store “super yogurt,” which already has probiotics added to it. Around here, I know Wegmans has a good one, and if you give your dog a dollop on top of his/her food, it might just help keep their gut in order.

Daily Multivitamin

These are meant to maintain overall good health and to fortify the diet. Most high-quality dog foods have balanced blends of vitamins, so likely it’s not necessary. Look at the overall health of your dog. If you see itching or a lack-luster coat or other signs of general unhealthiness, you can try a multivitamin, but you should also consult with your vet.

Antioxidants – My Top Choice

Any of you who read my columns know that I preach this all the time. I totally believe in antioxidants for pets, and for people as well. Vitamins A, E, bioflavinoids, grape seed extract, pine bark, selenium, and zinc, among others, can all help to neutralize free radicals in your pet’s system. There are many products on the market that can help your dog fight off environmental bombardments and internal disease triggers. Just get one!

APRIL 8, 2011

And this is a shameless plug – we sell one in our on-line store at www.nittanygreys.org that I really like. It is called OPC-3 for dogs and cats and it also has glucosamine in it. It’s fairly inexpensive (a 90-day supply for $20) and has all the good stuff your pet needs for a system boost. Check it out on-line. We also have it in our store at the kennel (near Stormstown) so you can get it there too.

If your dog has been diagnosed with cancer or some other debilitating or chronic disease, there are other, symptom-specific supplements you can try. Contact me privately and I’ll be happy to try to help you sort through what might work.

Mount Nittany Middle School Hosts Powwow

By Sam Stitzer

BOALSBURG – Mount Nittany Middle School in Boalsburg was the site for the eighth annual “New Faces of an Ancient People” Traditional Native American Powwow on April 2 and 3. Powwows are celebrations of Native American community and spirituality, featuring drum and dance as well as vendors offering Native American arts and crafts items.

The exact origin of the contemporary powwow has its roots in traditional gatherings and tribal dances for particular situations. As American Indians were moved onto reservations, their dancing was hampered by government regulations and therefore became a powerful symbol of Indian identity. Since the turn of the twentieth century, the Intertribal Powwow has rapidly developed into a form of expression recognizable to American Indians across the continent.

This Powwow was sponsored jointly by Penn State University and the State College Area School

District. Powwow Coordinator was John Sanchez, from the Department of Journalism at Penn State University.

The Powwow draws participants from many U.S. states and some Canadian provinces. People from as far away as New Mexico, Arizona, North and South Dakota, Minnesota, and Canada were represented. Their costumes, called regalia, are all unique, and have great significance to the participating individuals. Some features of the regalia signify tribal origins, such as flowers for the northern tribes and geometric designs for the tribes in the plains and southwestern states.

The highlight of the Powwow is called the Grand Entry, in which all dancers participate (there were 124 of them). The dancers line up in a tradition-specified order and, when the drums are played, dance into the circular arena, entering from the east. An honor guard of U.S. military veterans carrying flags led the Grand Entry. A sacred ceremony, led by master of ceremonies Ron Colombe, from the Lakota Tribe, followed the entry with a prayer and songs.

There are many dance steps with names like Traditional Dance, Fancy Dance, Grass Dance, Jingle Dress Dance,

Colorful jewelry was for sale in the vendors’ area.

Children danced with parents and grandparents.

Snake Dance, and others performed, with each one having its own traditional significance. The dances were a great sight, filled with history, tradition, and brilliant colors, all set to the constant, driving cadence of the tribal drums. At one Tribal drummers/singers warmed point, all the veterans in up before the Grand Entry. the audience were asked to enter the arena and participate in the dance. When they finished, a great swell of applause and cheers broke forth from the large crowd of spectators and participants. More than a few tears were shed as well, in this magnificent tribute to our veterans.

Outside the arena, many vendors of Native American-themed merchandise had set up shop, and were doing a brisk business selling a wide variety of hand-crafted items.

The Powwow was a great celebration of the Native American culture and history, as well as an educational experience for those of us far removed from that culture.

Native Americans are strong, proud people with a great sense of history and Dancers moved in a tradition. They have endured oppression, clockwise circle around but have emerged intact and victorious. We the arena, symbolizing salute the Native Americans, and we thank the endless circle them for giving us a glimpse of their culture of creation. and traditions.

Local Man Completes Marine Basic Training

Brian Fayman, son of Cindy and Rick Fayman of Milesburg, recently completed basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, SC. Brian successfully completed 12 weeks of training designed to challenge new Marine recruits both physically and mentally.

Brian and his fellow recruits began their training each day at 5 a.m., by running three miles and performing calisthenics. In addition to the physical conditioning program, Brian spent numerous hours in classroom and field assignments, which included learning first aid, uniform regulations, combat water survival, marksmanship, hand-to-hand combat and assorted weapons training. They performed close-order drill and operated as a small infantry unit during field training.

Brian also received instructions on the Marine Corps’ core values – honor, courage and commitment, and what the words mean in guiding personal and professional conduct. Brian and fellow recruits ended the training phase with the Crucible, a 54-hour team effort and problem-solving evolution.

After graduation from Parris Island, he was stationed at Fort Geiger, NC for four weeks of combat training and graduated on the March 22. Brian was transferred to Fort Leonard, MO for three months of Military Police training.

Brian was a 2008 Bald Eagle Area graduate and Brian Fayman, USMC was active in BEA basketball and track.

Waiting on a Baby

By Les Barnhart

Life can be funny sometimes and it can be just as equally sad. At any given time on any give day, it can make you laugh or cry perhaps even both. It can also provide you moments that make you step back and realize that life is fragile and should never be taken for granted.

Such a moment occurred for me recently. It happened when my kids and I were at the hospital in anticipation of the birth of my sister-in-law and her husband’s first child. I stepped off the elevator on the same floor that I last visited as an expectant father almost eight years ago. The magic that surrounds the anticipation of a baby is like nothing else I have ever experienced. I had searched my brain while sitting in the waiting room for a word to describe the feeling that I had and came to the conclusion that “magic” was that very word.

As I sat watching my kids doing things that kids do, like sticking their arm in the vending machine and trying to get what is inside on a dare or entertaining the crowd with by getting a drink from the water fountain without using their hands, I stood up and saw a friend of mine walking down the hall.

You see when you step off the elevator at Mount Nittany, a sharp right leads you back to the Maternity Ward while a not so sharp right leads you down the hall to the Oncology Department. Unfortunately, my friend was not there for the same reason we were. Instead he was there to see a loved one who was battling the cruelest of all diseases, cancer.

That was when the moment happened. Here I was,

Contact The Gazette sports department by emailing: sports@centrecountygazette.com regarding your sports story

enjoying all that my life has to offer with two happy and healthy children as well as a saint of a wife that was back with her sister during what was easily her most trying time while others walked by dealing with either themselves or their loved ones battling for their lives. It quickly made me realize and appreciate all that I have been given.

Just like everyone else, I have lost loved ones; I have seen my share of rainy days and the storms that come with them.

I have seen friends and family struggle with their share of obstacles and I too have found myself faced with what seemed like the worst of times. But then again, I can say that I have seen my share of sunny days as well. I married my best friend and together we have two great kids. I know this and I also know from personal experience that as quick as it takes for someone not to stop their vehicle, everything can change. I try my best not to take anything for granted and I consider that life lesson to be one of the most invaluable that I have ever learned.

Perhaps you have had one of these moments in your life.

Perhaps you have and just didn’t recognize it. Either way, don’t wait for life to remind you of all that it has given you or has yet to offer. Tell those that you love just how you feel and tell them every day. Don’t take for granted that you will be given another day to say what should have already been said.

Take the time to make time for loved ones.

Oh, in case you were wondering, they had a baby boy and everyone is doing great! And while Owen may not remember his first football season, his uncle already gave him his first football…now I have to work on keeping him from rooting for those stinkin’ Phillies like his dad. Oh well, at least it’s not the Yankees!

Harvick Mastering Last Lap Success

By Matt Masullo

Kevin Harvick is getting pretty good at timing last second passes to win races. Harvick passed Dale Earnhart Jr. (loser of 99 consecutive races) with just four laps remaining to win the Goody’s Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville on Sunday. Harvick won last week’s Auto Club 400 as well, on a last lap pass of Kyle Busch.

Similar to last week’s race in California, Bush dominated and led the most laps, and relinquished his lead late. This time however, it was Earnhart who took the lead with 20 laps left to the delight of a packed Martinsville crowd. As Busch and Earnahrt raced for the lead, Harvick closed in, and overtook Earnhart with four laps left.

Chambers’ Triple Scores Winning Run for Lady Eagles

By Les Barnhart

WINGATE – The Lady Eagles found themselves staring at a 3-2 deficit as they batted in the bottom of the seventh inning.

With two outs in the inning, the scoreboard still showed the same score but with two runners on and Kelly Chambers striding to the plate.

Chambers, who was enjoying a perfect 3-for-3 day at the plate, made it 4-for-4 when she smacked a triple that would score both Lexi Josefik and Taylor Parsons and give the Lady Eagles a thrilling 4-3 comeback win to improve to 2-0 on the season.

Parsons had three hits in the game as she and Chambers combined for seven of the team’s ten hits. Chambers’ triple was the only extra base hit of the game. The Lady Eagles stubbed their toe repeatedly against Lady Bearcat pitcher Sara Snare. She issued four walks but stranded eleven Lady Eagle base runners over the first six innings.

Megan Dudish (1-0) picked up the win in relief after tossing 1 2/3 hitless innings to close out the game and benefitting from Chambers’ game winning triple. Cassondra Ross had started the game on mound but left trailing after 5 1/3 innings. She struck out four and allowed the three runs on four hits.

Students “Rock Out” at Rock School”

By Don Bedell

STATE COLLEGE – Musicians young and “not so young” got a chance to perform on stage at Café 210 West on Sunday afternoon (4/3) at the culmination of State College’s “Rock School.”

Rock School was started by musician Al Miller. Miller owns Guitarman Studios and teaches guitar lessons locally. He has also been a working musician in the area, now performing with his wife Chrissy in the Top 40 Country band, AC Express.

Rock School allows students to experience the thrill of performing in a rock band on stage with lights and a full sound system.

According to Chrissy Miller, Café 210 has been very supportive hosting the finale to allow the students to perform in front of a live audience.

When the program begins, Al tries to group the students together based on their age and ability. Chrissy says, “It’s a great stepping stone for the young students; musically and emotionally.” They rehearse for eight weeks with their group and the “final exam” is their live performance on stage. Even Centre County Judge Brad Lunsford got into the act. Lunsford, who plays drums in AC Express, also sat in with one of the bands on Sunday.

Victor Romero’s son Ryan was one of the participants. He says it was a positive experience. “We were really impressed with how well Al was able to take these four kids who had never played together and make them sound like a band in such a short time! Ryan had a blast Rock School participants pose with and learned a lot, too.” teacher/owner Al Miller (third from left in
