Editor’s Prologue

By Sandie Biddle, Managing editor editor@centrecountygazette.com ccgazette@hughes.net

Summer’s in full swing in my rural neighborhood. My niece is done with school, the last few peonies are in a vase in my bedroom, and the novelty of riding my mower around is wearing off. Nights air that’s soft and warm as a favorite blanket, lightening bugs decorating maples and black walnut trees, and always a pot of fresh-brewed iced tea in the fridge.

You’ll see many more signs of the season in today’s issue of The Gazette. Summer theatre has begun at the Boal Barn, concerts have started to ring out from Tussey Mountain Amphitheatre, and there are a number of charity walks, runs, and rides scheduled. The grand daddy of walks, to me, are the Relays for Life. This issue features Bellefonte’s Relay. There are two more coming up. The Moshannon Relay is June 18 and Centre Hall is June 25. Show your support and encourage these walkers as they stride toward the cure.

The Historic Bellefonte Cruise is roaring into town next weekend, and boy, are we ready!

The Gazette, and our sister publication The Auto Connection, are proud media sponsors. We’re giving you a taste of the action in this issue – and lots more info and incentives in the June 17 Gazette.

Don’t miss the summer concert series that begin this weekend. Take a lawn chair, a loved one, and snacks. The music is free! Lemont’s concerts start tonight, June 10, and Fridays throughout the summer. Bellefonte’s Concerts at the Gazebo start Sunday, as does the summer series at South Hills School of Business and Technology. The Bellefonte Community Band (of which star Penns Valley correspondent, Sam Stitizer, is a member) has a full schedule for the summer as well.

Father’s Day is next weekend, and how I wish I could celebrate it one more time with my dad. 2006 was the last time I saw his contented smile as we gathered around the grill and made a picnic feast big enough to feed a small village. I will never forget when, a few decades ago, I told him what a positive influence he was to me as I was growing up, how much he taught me by his example – of honesty, hard work, open mindedness, and living happily in the moment. He was astounded. “Why didn’t you ever tell me this before?� he asked. I thought he knew. If you haven’t told your dad what he means to you yet, don’t wait. I’m glad I didn’t.

Next weekend will be filled with hot rods, hogs, speedsters, coupes, and automotive masterpieces with two and four wheels, plus oldies music, good food, and good neighbors. See you at the Bellefonte Cruise, but not before you pick up another issue of The Gazette for the inside scoop.

Stay cool. Stay compassionate. Stay contented. Life is good, when we care about – and take care of – one another.

Understanding Pet Food Labels, Part II

By Allison Brown

Last week we learned about FDA regulations, the front label, information label, and daily nutrient amounts. This week we’ll conclude with the guaranteed analysis, feeding guidelines, ingredients list, and expiration date.

The guaranteed analysis portion of the label provides the nutrient composition of the diet. In other words, it is a scientific breakdown of the food in its current form.

It is NOT an analysis of the ingredients before they are processed. It is an analysis of quantity not the quality of ingredients. It must include information on the minimum percentage of crude protein and crude fat as well as the maximum percentage of crude fiber and moisture. Protein, fat, fiber, and moisture are the only nutrients the manufacturer must include in the guaranteed analysis, though others are often provided. It is not uncommon to find analysis for things like calcium, phosphorus, taurine, ash, glucosamine, and some vitamins; depending on what the manufacturer feels is important to convey to its customers, or what the manufacturer feels is a selling point.

The feeding guidelines tell a pet owner approximately how much to feed based on their pet’s weight and life stage. One difference between high- and low-quality pet foods is the digestibility of the product.

Digestibility is the amount of the nutrients in the food the animals is able to break down and absorb within its digestive tract. With a more digestible food, the animal is able to more efficiently use the nutrients provided, therefore needing to be fed less.

By comparing the amount required to be fed per day and the price of the food, you may sometimes find that a more expensive food (on a weight basis) is actually cheaper than a more economical food when daily food costs are calculated. An example of this would be comparing a grain-free dog or cat food with a food that has grains in it. Grain-free foods tend to be more expensive, but if you look at the feeding guidelines, you will notice that the feeding recommendations in cups for a grain-free food are lower than a food with grain in it. That is because grains are not as easily utilized by dogs and cats that have a lower digestibility.

The ingredient list provides an account of the ingredients in the product from highest to lowest weight. The weight includes moisture content; sometimes it is difficult to determine which one contributes more to the diet on a dry matter basis. For example, if all the ingredients were to be dried out in an oven until completely dry, it is likely that the order of the first five ingredients would vary.

Whole meat products like beef or chicken are high in moisture, and even if listed first

may actually contribute a lower nutrient concentration than a low-moisture ingredient like a meat meal or soybean meal. Therefore, it is important to analyze the top ingredients together rather than putting more priority in one top ingredient over another. When evaluating an ingredient list, look for a meat-based protein source such as whole meat or a meat meal. Whole meat is required to contain only meat, while meat meals contain ground and dehydrated meat, and meat byproduct meals contain ground and rendered meat and other animal parts like internal organs, chicken heads, feet and intestine.

The manufacturer’s name and address provides a means to easily contact the manufacturer to obtain answers to questions. The manufacturer will most likely not provide information about specific amounts of each ingredient that are included in the diet, as that is part of their secret formula, but they should provide information about nutrient composition and other dietary concerns. If a manufacturer is unwilling to provide information regarding their product, in my book, it is grounds for suspicion and even validates switching foods.

Lastly, one additional item to look for on the pet food label is the expiration date. It is usually on the bottom of cans and bags, or located near the UPC code. Pet food itself does not expire. At the time of production, diets are nutritionally complete and balanced as required by the AAFCO; although, over time some nutrients will start to break down.

This is particularly true for water soluble vitamins such as B and C. The expiration date is intended to ensure that the diet is still nutritionally complete when the diet is purchased.

The information on pet food labels is important and can be very useful when determining the best food choice for your pet’s needs. The next time you are buying food for your pet, take the time to look at the label, compare foods and ask your pet store sales person any questions that you may have.

New Study Reveals Trends in Dog Deaths

A new study by researchers at the University of Georgia is providing a comprehensive look at causes of death in more than eighty breeds of dogs.

Dog owners and vets typically rely on a mix of evidence to assess which breeds are at risk of dying from various conditions, but now, evidence is actually backing up – or disputing – those opinions.

This current study, published in the current edition of the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, is extensive enough that it could be used to create breed-specific health maintenance programs and is a jumping off point for further research exploring the genetic underpinnings of disease in dogs.

Dr. Kate Creevy, an assistant professor in the UGA College of Veterinary Medicine, examined the deaths of more than 75,000 dogs over a 20-year period. They classified the deaths by organ system and disease process and further analyzed that data by breed, age, and average body mass. Eighty-two breeds are represented in the study.

Some interesting patterns emerged.

Results indicated that young dogs (two years or younger) most often died of trauma, congenital disease, or infectious diseases.

Older dogs, on the other hand, died overwhelmingly of cancer; however, the frequency of cancer peaked in the group that included 10-year-old dogs and then declined with age.

Looking at breed size, large dogs died more commonly of musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal causes, whereas small dogs died more commonly of endocrine causes. Cancer was a cause of death more frequently in large dogs. Small breeds had an increased risk of death associated with metabolic processes (such as diabetes or Cushings Disease).

In analyzing specific breeds, researchers mostly validated veterinarians’ opinions, such as Dachshunds have a high percentage of death attributable to neurologic disease and Golden Retrievers and Boxers have the highest percentage of deaths from cancer (almost 50 percent). Respiratory disease was the most common cause of death in Bulldogs, and Chihuahuas and Maltese (and other toy breeds) died largely of cardiovascular disease.

Cardiovascular disease was also often found to be the cause of death for Fox Terriers, not a breed typically associated such heart problems. Afghan Hounds and Vizslas in the study most often died of respiratory disease.

Although cancer generally was the most

common patho-physiologic process resulting in death in the study population, there were a few breeds less likely to die of this disease, including several toy breeds such as Pekingese, Pomeranian, and Toy Poodle, and the larger breeds Australian Heeler and the Treeing Walker Coonhound.

Researchers point out that because the building blocks of the dog genome and the human genome are the same, understanding the genetic basis of disease in dogs can inform human medicine. If specific genes are found to play a significant role in Cushing’s disease in dogs, for example, scientists can assess whether the same process occurs in humans with the disease, with the ultimate goal of creating new strategies for early diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

Another question that might be able to be addressed with studies like this is the question of why, in the mammal world, large mammals tend to live longer than small ones.

For instance, an elephant lives longer than a mouse, but why do large dog breeds live fewer years than small breeds? Dogs are the opposite of almost all other mammals and it’s quite an interesting mystery.

For the average dog owner, if you love Goldens, you’re still likely to get one. If you know that this breed is prone to cancer, then take the right steps to help your dog fight off cancer cells. Feed a good diet and give your dog an immune boosting supplement.

Heart issues are somewhat harder to deal with, but one thing you can do is be sure that your toy breed is not overweight and gets enough exercise. I know they’re supposed to be lap dogs, but they’re still animals that need exercise and the right diet to stay healthy. Many of the diseases represented in the study can be prevented – diabetes, heart disease, and other gastrointestinal diseases are preventable. Educate yourself, know the warning signs, and start today to help your dog be healthier.

If you’d like specific information about immune boosting supplements or proper diet, contact me directly. I’ll be happy to help you find products that suit your dog.

Second Mile Names Featured Professional Partners Contributed by The Second Mile

Perhaps they might be named the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swooshesâ&#x20AC;? after the Nike logo because they â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just do it.â&#x20AC;? Jennifer and Matt Ishler have been supporting Second Mile program efforts for over a decade. They have participated in The Second Mileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early intervention and prevention programs including Summer Challenge, Leadership Institute, and the Friend Program.

The Second Mile is fortunate to have attracted the interest of the Ishlers. Many campers, Young Friends, and other program participants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as Penn State staff and students â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have been truly blessed by their contact with Jennifer and Matt. Due to their incredible enthusiasm and dedication to helping others, it is a pleasure to recognize Matt and Jennifer Ishler as The Second Mileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Featured Professional Partners!

Their commitment to The Second Mile seems to be a product of their broad

Joanne Harris is an author who can be a hit or a miss; some of her books I have really enjoyed and others have been just average. One that I did enjoy was Chocolat and I have to admit that I even enjoyed the movie. The movie was different from the book, but it did star Johnny Depp.

Her latest book is titled The Girl with No Shadow and it continues the story of Vianne Rocher. Though the book could stand on its own, it is best read as a sequel.

Vianne has always allowed the wind to dictate her every move. She had left the small French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes and arrived in Paris, thinking that she, her daughter Anouk, and baby Rossette can lose themselves in the crowded streets.

She takes on the new identity of widowed Yanne Charbonneau and again opens a chocolate shop.

This time, though, she tries to fit in.

She has warned Anouk not to do anything that would appear odd. It seems that each of the three have magical powers and are aware that every action causes a reaction.

There is a price to be paid, whether a person is a witch or not.

But this time when the wind blows, it brings Zozie de lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Alba into their lives.

Zozie is charming and charismatic. She embodies all of the brightness and joy of life that Vianne was trying to leave behind.

Soon Zozie has worked her way into the chocolate shop and into the life of Vianne and her preadolescent daughter Anouk.

Zozie also has powers, maybe even stronger than Vianne had had in the past. Vianne only sees Zozie as a friend who has helped her build her business and become the new confidant for Anouk. She does not see that this wind was a very evil wind and that Zozie will tear

her comfortable world to shreds.

As I said, this book can stand on its own, but there is more depth to the story if you know what happened to Vianne in Lansquenet-sous-tannes. The book Chocolatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ending and the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ending are different, so read the book before seeing the movie. (Then if you are also a Johnny Depp fan, by all means rent the Academy Award-nominated movie.)

I enjoyed The Girl with No Shadow, but do not think that this is a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book because of the magic involved. This is a classic tale of good vs. evil for adults. It is so easy to champion Vianne as she tries to live a normal life, doing what is best for her children. Ms. Harris has a hit with The Girl with No Shadow.

THE GAZETTE - SERVING CENTRE COUNTY

By Kitty Wunderly Centre County Library & Historical Museum

The word “staycation” – finding fun at home or close to it – may be new, but the idea certainly isn’t. For reasons of time, money, or preference, many people have found local enjoyment, in small doses, to be a good way to relax with friends and family.

One longtime fun spot for Centre Countians was Hecla Park, at Mingoville, about eight miles east of Bellefonte off Rte. 64.

According to local author Joyce Adgate’s engrossing history of Walker Township (published in 2000), a picnic grove was in use by the 1870s near the iron works called Mount Hecla Furnace, in the area then known as Strunktown.

The Central Pennsylvania Railroad was incorporated on May 11, 1889, to connect Unionville with the New York Central line at Mill Hall, running by way of Bellefonte and the Nittany Valley. The new railroad opened in December 1893, and the following summer the operators bought a 27-acre site at Strunktown, including the old picnic grove, on which to create a recreational area. These types of mini-resorts were known as “train parks,” near rail lines that would conveniently transport visitors to and from the park. The railroad companies would offer special excursions to the parks, beyond the regular train schedules.

Hecla Park, as the new area was named, was 18.1 miles by train from Mill Hall and 9.2 from Bellefonte. The site was praised in an article in Bellefonte’s Democratic Watchman newspaper of July 13, 1894: “A new and what promises to be a very popular resort for picnickers will soon be opened on the line of the new Central Railroad of Pennsylvania in the vicinity of Hecla furnace.” Assets of the site were listed, including good drinking water, a large dam enabling boating and bathing, a covered dance pavilion, well-equipped kitchen, and easy access by train.

The formal opening was Thursday, August 9, 1894, on the occasion of the annual Logan Steam Fire Engine Co. Picnic. A band would supply music, the Logan steamer would be brought from Bellefonte so that all could “see a high-class fire engine in operation,” and proceeds from the day’s events would help the Logans pay the balance on their engine (some needs never change!). “All you will need is to put on your hat and go,” the Watchman advised. “The firemen will do the rest.”

Over time, a baseball field, croquet grounds, tennis courts, a dance hall-roller rink, a swimming pool, and bicycle and greyhound-racing tracks were added to the Hecla Park amenities. Special events over the years included balloon ascensions; performances at the Hecla Pavilion by Glenn Miller, the Dorsey brothers, Artie Shaw, Guy Lombardo, and Duke Ellington; and, less notably, a huge Ku Klux Klan rally in 1925.

Amusement rides, arcade games, and a miniature golf course were added in the 1950s-60s, but attendance suffered when other, larger parks elsewhere drew the crowds. Some surviving summer cabins and, I believe, a skating rink – along with echoes of the laughter from many good times over the years – are all that survive today of Hecla Park.

Featured Photos

The photo postcard of the islands in Hecla Lake was mailed from the Mingoville post office on August 6, 1909.

The sender wrote that he was “attending the reform reunion, am having a fine time wish you where hear.”

The second photo postcard is undated, but the safe boating authorities may want to use it as an example of what not to do, between overloading, lack of life jackets, and perching on the prow!

150 Years Ago

The Centre Guards under Col. Andrew Gregg Jr. left Bellefonte for Harrisburg in early June 1861, bound for battlefields of the Civil War. Even as the farewell ceremony was being held in the court house, the Milesburg Home Guards, led by Capt. Miles Green, marched into the assembly with some new recruits for the Centre Guards.

A dinner was provided at two of the hotels near the court house, and then the new recruits were given “a substantial flannel shirt and a havelock.” A havelock is a piece of cloth to hang from the back of a hat and protect the neck from sunburn, and seems useful for soldiers heading south at the start of summer, the flannel shirts perhaps a little less so.

The same newspaper, Democratic Watchman of June 13, 1861, printed a letter from a soldier in Washington, D.C., who reported that, “I am living luxuriously, at present, on the top of a very respectable fence & fare sumptuously on three granite biscuits a day and a glass of water weakened with brandy. A high private in the twenty second regiment has promised to let me have one of his square pocket handkerchiefs for a sheet the first rainy night, and I never go to bed on my comfortable window brush without thinking how many poor creatures there are in this world who have to sleep on hair mattresses and feather beds all their lives.” Soldiers’ humor in the face of hardship has always been there!

An advertisement in the Watchman of June 27 promoted Iron City College in Pittsburgh, “the most popular and successful Commercial School in the country,” with tuition of $35 a year, equal to about $894 in today’s dollars. Graduates of Iron City supposedly were finding bookkeeping jobs paying $2,000 a year – about $51,100 today. Many Penn State graduates today would be happy to do as well (and to have paid that kind of tuition!).

100 Years Ago

Two “aeroplane” flights were scheduled for the Moose picnic at Hecla Park on the Fourth of July 1911, according to advance publicity in the June 30th State College Times. Warren J. Baumann in a Curtiss plane would thrill the crowd, who would also be enjoying baseball games of Jersey Shore vs. Lock Haven and Williamsport vs. Philipsburg. The day would close with a fireworks display.

The first reunion of the Houser clan took place in June 1911 at Dreese’s grove in Peru, with 250 in attendance.

Speeches were made detailing the history of the family in the

county, “having come from sturdy pioneer stock.”

Graduation was held at the Pennsylvania State College, which had a student body of 1,808 for 1911: 400 more than in the previous year, and more than double the number of five years earlier. The faculty numbered 169.

50 Years Ago

Hearings were taking place in Washington, D.C., in June 1961 on the proposed Blanchard Dam. A representative of the Centre County Commissioners was to attend the hearing before the House Appropriations Committee, to voice protests from residents and organizations in Howard and the Bald Eagle area.

The absence of parking facilities at the post office in Pleasant Gap was drawing the ire of patrons, according to the June 5, 1961, Centre Daily Times. The property owner (who leased the facility to the post office) was arranging to add parking at the back of the building for visitors and the Highway Post Office buses. The absence of the post office itself has been drawing ire today.

A 1961 Hillman Husky station wagon, with “two tone finish, heater, defroster, and electric wipers” could be yours for only $1,685 from Weiser Imported Cars in State College.

Also available: tires for $16.88 each, batteries for $8.95, and heavy duty oil for 23 cents a quart, “in your container.”

Relay for Life Surpasses Goal Article & photos by Brian Baney

BELLEFONTE – The Bellefonte Relay for Life held its annual walk-a-thon Friday June 3 through Saturday, June 4 at Governor’s Park.

The 24-hour event, with a goal to raise $69,000 this year, has surpassed that amount by $400+, and still counting. A very successful year to say the least, with the team from Port Supports raising a whopping $11,414.98, followed by Tara’s Angels at $6,427.33.

A good percentage of the money donated stays local and goes to programs such as; Road to Recovery (a service that provides rides to cancer treatments), Hope Lodge (like a Ronald McDonald House), Look Good, Feel Better (how to deal with skin changes, hair loss from chemo treatments), and financial support for the patients themselves.

The weather was spectacular for the most part. A thunderstorm rolled through late Saturday afternoon, but, otherwise, walkers and campers were treated to a beautiful weekend. The Ultimate D.J. , Ken Yeaney, provided the tunes that helped walkers keep pace, handed out prizes to raffle winners and knowing Ken, probably told a semi-good to terrible joke, here and there.

This annual event brings together volunteers, cancer survivors, family members of the survivors, as well as family members of those taken by cancer.

Twenty-five teams, made up of eight to 15 members were on the roster this year. Also, 129 cancer-survivors registered for the relay. Unfortunately, not all could attend. That number alone tells us that our communities have been hard hit by this terrible disease.

The Opening Ceremony began at 6 p.m. Friday evening.

Air brushed tattoos, relay races for the kids, a salon and color lounge, FOR MEN ONLY, was provided by Locks of Love. Teams and team captains were introduced during the costume parade. The traditional lighting of the luminaries by the team representatives and the survivor’s Celebration Lap were touching events for all involved.

The Luminaria Ceremony began at 8:30 with speaker State Representative Kerry Benninghoff. Kerry and wife Michelle lost their very dear daughter, Ryleigh, to brain cancer at just seven years old on December 31, 2010, after a brave twoand-a-half year battle.

There was not a dry eye to be found in Governor’s Park that night. Kerry and Michelle’s experience, unfortunately, is not a rare one.

more rare. Bellefonte’s Relay for Life Chairperson, Pam Royer, and her team of Gail Miller, Amy Maney, Gail Lucas, Daria Rockey, Kerry O’Hara, Jackie Thompson, Carrie Walker, Even the kids had a great experience, Ken Maney, Shane walking for a purpose.

Royer, Stacie Blair, Tammy Whitehill, Mary O’Neill, Sam Benz, and Cecil Houser give of their time, effort and of their huge, tender hearts to a cause that one day will help rid the world of cancer.

Port Support’s, a team established by the Port Matilda Elementary School faculty, raised the most money, again this year. Port Support’s co-captains Mary O’Neill, a cancer survivor herself, Carrie Sharkey, and Amy Maney lead the way for members Jen and Tim Houser, Elaina Howell, Sarah Stere, Jen Gilbert, Robin Chaisson, Liz Franks, Megan O’Brien, Jennifer Simonetti, Ken Maney, Sharon Grupp, and Mary Grupp. Tim Houser is yet another survivor of cancer.

Bellefonte’s Relay for Life could not do what they do without the sponsorships they receive each year. For 2011, Relay for Life received sponsorship from Mount Nittany Medical Center, University Orthopedics Center, and CocaCola Refreshments. Pam Royer, all the committee members and the many volunteers would like to express their deep appreciation to each of these sponsors.

Relay for Life, is yet another example of how the people of Centre County give back to their communities and to those in need.

The story of this great organization cannot end until this dreaded disease, that has touched so many lives in our community, is eradicated.

This cannot be accomplished without YOU. If cancer has touched your life in one way or another, contact Relay for Life, or the American Cancer Society and ask what you can do to help or what they can do to help you. Go to www.cancer. org and www.RelayForLife.org or call 1-800-ACS-2345.

One day, with your help, we can say Cancer is a curable disease and WILL NOT claim another loved one in our lifetime.

A Two-Wheeled Dream Comes True

By Sam Stitzer

POTTER TOWNSHIP â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Fred Waltz, like so many of us who call ourselves motorheads, always dreamed of building a custom motorcycle. It was one of those things he put on his list of things he would do â&#x20AC;&#x153;someday.â&#x20AC;?

But, you know how things go; work, kids, a mortgage, and the things we call life pushed Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream farther and farther down the list of priorities.

Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream got an unexpected boost in priority a few years ago when Fred suffered a heart attack. Fred survived intact, but decided to retire. Shortly after his retirement, Penny, Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife of 40 years, told him it was time to build his dream bike. Fred agreed,

Fred Waltz astride the Death Dealer bike with his wife, Penny. and began searching for just the right bike to be the platform for his custom machine.

He finally found and purchased a 2009 Harley-Davidson Rocker-C model in Greensboro, North Carolina, and trailered it to his Potter Township home.

Fred began running through a shopping list of custom parts and modifications for the Rocker: The wheels were specially made items from Metal Motorsports in California. They were machined from solid billets of aluminum with a sinister-looking spike pattern on each spoke. The handlebars were made by a company in Florida. Fred replaced the factory telescopic front fork with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;springerâ&#x20AC;? design, which features exposed coil springs on the top of the forks. A custom seat, exhaust pipes, and many more custom parts went into Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique creation. A beautiful cherry red paint job, featuring airbrushed murals in the style of famed comic book artist Frank Frazetta, was skillfully applied by Lonnie

Thomas.

Probably the most unique and eye catching feature of Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bike, named Death Dealer, is the shiny black coating applied to all the chrome parts. The coating is called Black-Ti. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ti, as in titanium. Black-Ti is a titanium-based coating that actually embeds itself into the molecular structure of the base metal it covers. It produces a glossy, transparent surface which resists abrasion and heat. It is often used for railings and fittings on high-end yachts, since it easily resists the corrosive effects of salt water. The coating gives the bike a somewhat sinister, but elegant look

With the help of his friend, Zeke Buchanan, Fred assembled the Death Dealer with all its custom parts. From start to finish, the project took two years to complete. It was completed in April of this year, and just two days later Fred was awarded the first place trophy in the Modified Harley class at the Sturgis Road Show in Harrisburg. Fred and Penny are justifiably proud of this win, since that show features high-level competition from all over the northeastern U.S. Fred has since shown the bike in Johnstown, Rhinebeck, NY, Hagerstown, MD, and at the Grange Fair Car Show in Centre Hall on May 21.

Having owned Japanese bikes all my life, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a real Harley fan, but I would ride the Death Dealer in a heartbeat!

The trouble is that Fred almost certainly would not let me ride it. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even ride it. It has been ridden just 11 miles since the Waltzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bought it in 2009.

Fred Waltz at left with his first place trophy at the Sturgis Road Show.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have other bikes to ride; this one is for show,â&#x20AC;? said Fred, as he showed me photos of the Death Dealerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stable mates. Fred and Penny wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let me divulge the finished cost of this bike, but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say it was not cheap! But what price is too high for finally realizing a lifelong dream? I would say it was worth every cent, and I think the Waltzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s would agree.

Local Farriers Hold Competition & Clinic

By Sam Stitzer

FERGUSON TOWNSHIP – “Under a spreading chestnut tree, the village smithy stands. The smith, a mighty man is he, with large and sinewy hands, and the muscles of his brawny arms are strong as iron bands.” So begins the poem The Farrier hammers a red hot Village Blacksmith horseshoe.

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. He describes a man engaged in a profession long defunct in today’s world, right? Well, not exactly. In rural areas of our nation, including Centre County, the blacksmith, more properly called a farrier, can still earn a living making horseshoes, especially in areas with a significant Amish population.

Two farriers from the Penns Valley area, along with eight others from Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, and Virginia, gathered at the bright red barn of the Jodon farm along Route 45 in near Pine Grove Mills on Saturday, June 4, for a farriers’ competition and clinic. Tom Siegenthaler and Randy Rider joined their blacksmithing coworkers in a unique contest of skill, organized

by Chris Diehl of the Pennsylvania Professional Farriers Association. In this event, each farrier is required to make a set of four horseshoes in one hour. They were issued templates with the outline of an actual horse hoof, and required to

make the shoes to fit. This may not seem like a difficult task until you realize that they did not begin with pre-stamped horseshoes and just modify them to fit. They start with straight pieces of steel bar stock, about a foot long, and have to form them into horseshoes matching the templates, including all the nail holes, and tabs bent at 90 degrees to help keep the shoes from sliding off the horse’s hooves.

Walking into the Jodon’s barn was like stepping into Longfellow’s poem. Intense heat radiated from the farriers’ forges, some fueled by propane gas, and others by coke, as in steelmaking blast furnaces. The orange glowing steel was quickly plucked from the forges, and hammered into shape over large steel anvils. The cycle of into the forge for more heating, then out to the anvil for more forming was repeated many times over. When finished, the horseshoes were immersed in a tub of cold water, yielding loud hissing sounds and clouds of steam rising to the rafters. A late afternoon thunderstorm passed through the area, and the sounds of thunder and steel on steel hammering made it seem like the hammer-wielding Norse god, Thor, the Thunderer would appear at any moment!

The farriers competed in three classes: novice, intermediate, and open. They were judged

by Ben Mangan from the American Farriers Association, who awarded prizes based on workmanship, appearance, and fit to the horse hoof templates. Veteran farrier, Tom Siegenthaler, took home a batch of blue ribbons in the intermediate class, along with several items donated by manufacturers of farrier supplies and equipment. Randy Rider was close behind Tom, with

Antique Machinery Show Harvests Spring Crowd Photos and article by Sam Stitzer

PENNS CAVE – The Nittany Antique Machinery Association (NAMA) held its annual spring show on June 2 to 5 at Penns Cave. NAMA was formed in 1975, and held its first show at Penns Cave farm in September of that year. The autumn show has grown to be one of the largest of its kind east of the Mississippi. The spring show, held annually on the first weekend after Memorial Day is a somewhat smaller version of the fall show, and features free admission for spectators.

The show featured rows and rows of antique tractors and farm machinery, hit and miss engines, antique tractor pulls, parades, food vendors, and a huge flea market. A large building was filled with die-cast toy tractors, trucks, and farm machinery, aimed at collectors of these miniature items. Flea market vendors presented just about everything imaginable for sale. Machinery, tools, furniture, housewares, and collectibles were seen, and one vendor had a drop (fuel) tank from an F-4 Phantom fighter jet which could be yours for a measly $1,000!

This show was all about remembering and honoring the past. Each machine is a piece of history on wheels, harkening back

An oxen-powered covered wagon showed how pioneers traveled across America. to a time and lifestyle so different from today. Much nostalgia was brought on by the sight, sound, and even the smell of the old machines. The older folks in attendance relived their good old days, and the younger ones received an education and some valuable insight into how their ancestors lived. It was a true celebration of the history of rural America.

These intricate wooden carvings were made with a chain saw.

The Classic Car, Truck & Motorcycle Show

By Dave Provan

Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love affair with automobiles, trucks and motorcycles is very real. Classic cars invoke the senses of sight, smell, and sound, as well as touch. These senses in turn trigger memories of all sorts and then emotion follows. Memories of that first car, that first date, the prom and on and on â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lifetime of memories and a flood of emotion.

There should be 300 to 500 vehicles for Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open Cruise, from all over Central PA. For the car show, they expect 300 to 350 cars and trucks and another 100 to 150 motorcycles. They come from PA and surrounding states, as far away as Ohio, Maryland, Georgia, Texas, and Virginia

The entire process of the Open Cruise, Sock Hop, Car Show, Awards and then the Closed Participant Cruise is a string of events that meld together in a very beautiful setting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Victorian Bellefonte. It is a beautiful

The First Bellefonte Cruise

Twenty-three years ago, Jack Houser, a local business man, got a committee together and started a one-day cruise and car show. The first meeting was at Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house and that started the ball rolling for the first cruise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Historic Bellefonte Cruise

He did it because it was a Bellefonte tradition from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s to cruise around the town in the evenings. (Eventually a police ordinance stopped that practice of evening and Saturday cruising.) People would come from miles around to cruise around Bellefonte, it was THE activity it was THE recreation and Jack and his friends were doing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;remember whenâ&#x20AC;? thing and came up with a way to sanction a cruise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least once a year

Today, that old tradition lives on in the Bellefonte Cruise, a family-oriented gathering on Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fun, food, and all classes of cars, trucks and cycles.

Lady Little Lions Suffer Heartbreaking Loss in PIAA Opener

By Les Barnhart GR EENSBURG – For nine innings on Monday afternoon, nothing but zeros went up on the scoreboard for both State College (11-10) and their opponent, District 7 champion Latrobe. With neither team able to solve the opposing pitcher, the game looked like a duel that would end with the first team blinking.

That blink came in the form of a rule that has many people frustrated. International rule in softball requires that any game that is tied after nine innings will have the tenth and subsequent innings start with a runner at second base. Such was the case on Monday when after the ninth inning ended, the Lady

Little Lions opened the tenth inning with a runner standing on second base.

While State College was unable to score their runner, Latrobe (16-4) did just that in the bottom of the tenth inning when Alexa Larkin scored on a single by Carm Moffa to give Latrobe a 1-0 win. Larkin also did her part on the mound as she came on in relief in the fifth and pitched no-hit ball over the final six innings while striking out twelve along the way.

Haley Shaw (11-8) was the hard luck loser on the mound as she scattered nine hits and stranding eleven base runners in going the distance. She struck out three and did not issue a walk in 9 1/3 innings.

Keslelowski Stretches Tank, Wins at Kansas

By Matt Masullo

For the second consecutive week, fuel played a huge part in the outcome of a race, and again, Dale Earnhart Jr. was on the wrong side of things. Brad Keselowski stretched his final tank of gas to win the STP 400 at the Kansas Speedway, extending the most popular driver in Nascar’s winless streak to 106 races.

Keselowski led the last nine laps to eek out the win, his second in the last 66 races.

Earnhart made a late push, but ultimately

couldn’t catch up to Keseloski. With his second place finish, Earnhart jumped to third place in the point’s race, behind Carl Edwards and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson.

Rounding out the top five were Denny Hamlin, Jeff Gordon and the aforementioned Edwards. This week, the Sprint Cup Series comes to Pennsylvania for the Gillette Fusion Proglide 500 at Pocono Raceyway.

Pirates Take Cole with 1st Pick in MLB Draft

By Matt Masullo

Credit the Pirates. In the past, they may have taken the safe route with the prospect that had a solid season, or selected a player based on who their agent was. Not this year, not these Pirates. Selecting first overall for the fourth time in franchise history, the Pirates drafted UCLA starting pitcher Gerrit Cole with the first pick in the First Year Player Draft Monday night. Cole, a junior, is 6-8 this season, with a 3.31 ERA. He is second on UCLA’s career strikeout list with 376. Cole, who has a fastball that averages in the mid 90’s and occasionally touches 100 mph, is the prospect who Pirates General Manager Neil Huntingdon coveted the most. Cole is also represented by super-agent Scott Boras, who also represents Pedro Alverez. When Alverez was drafted in 2008, contract negotiations got tense with Huntington. “Our focus is selecting the player that we believe is going to be the best for the organization two, four, six, eight, ten years from now,” Huntington said. “Gerrit has the makings of three aboveaverage major league pitches.”

Cole joins Bryan Bullington (who?????), Kris Benson and Jeff King as the Pirates number one overall picks in franchise history.

In the past ten years, Cole is the sixth pitcher drafted by the Pirates in the first round of the major league draft. Last year, the Buccos selected Jameson Taillon out of The Woodlands High School in Texas with the second

overall pick in the draft.

C o l e isn’t going to be a savior that turns a franchise around like a Stephen Strasburg or Ken Griffey Junior, but he could be a big piece to the puzzle. On a pitching staff that lacks an elite arm at the top of the rotation, Cole could foreseeable join Charlie Morton, Taillon, Stetson Allie (2010 second round pick) and a Brad Lincoln or James McDonald in two-three years to give the Pirates a formidable pitching staff. The selection of Cole also gives hope to Andrew McCuthcen, Neil Walker, Pedro Alverez and the Jose Tabita that the future of the franchise looks bright.

Sure, the Pirates aren’t playing .500 baseball at the moment, but they are showing that they are willing to make moves in the draft that can ultimately help the franchise out in the near future. With Strasburg getting a $7.5 million signing bonus and 2010 first overall pick Bryce Harper (Nationals) getting $6.25 million, the organization knows they have to take some calculated risks to bring the franchise back to where it was in the early 90’s in the days of Bonds, Bonilla and Van Slyke. You know, back in the days when people ACTUALLY knew some of the players on the roster.

Bryan Durkin-Dr. Hugh Rogers Golf Tournament

The Bryan Durkin-Dr. Hugh Rogers Golf Tournament will be held on Saturday, July 23, 2011, at the Nittany Country Club in Mingoville, Pa. The event is a 4 person scramble format with a shotgun start at 8:00 a.m. at the country club.

Proceeds benefit the Bryan Durkin and Dr. Hugh Rogers Memorial Scholarship funds and the Bellefonte High School Football Program.

The tournament was previously known as the Bryan Durkin Memorial Red Raider Open Golf Tournament and had been in existence since 1993. Bryan was an outstanding defensive end for the Red Raiders from 1984-1986. In 1992 he was tragically killed in an automobile accident the night before the tournament and had planned to play in the tournament that year. Several years ago the Bellefonte Football Program wanted to recognize also the contributions of the Rogers family to Bellefonte athletics and added the name of Dr. Rogers to the tournament. Dr. Rogers and his father were team doctors for Bellefonte athletes for 75 years.

Cost of the Tournament is $80.00 per golfer and includes greens fees, cart, prizes, on course refreshments and a post tournament luncheon. Applications are available from Duffy Besch (dbesch@basd.net), John Wetzler (coach1122@yahoo. com), the Bellefonte Area High School, or at the pro shop at the Nittany Country Club.

So you aren’t a golfer but you want to show your support of Bellefonte Red Raider football? Step up and be a sponsor.

Several sponsor packages (see below) are available for a truly worthwhile cause. Come on! Be a part of it. Come out and see the coaches and let them know you appreciate their hard work and dedication.

Bellefonte YMCA Gymnastics Team Strong Girls & a Strong Season

By Mary Abbott

BELLEFONTE – The gym at the Bellefonte branch of the Centre County YMCA stands empty. The men who meet there on their lunch break to play basketball are headed back to the office. The gym is quiet and cavernous. But an amazing transformation is about to take place.

Two dedicated coaches open closets on either side of the gym and begin to remove equipment. The closets are not that big and it’s a little like watching a troupe of clowns climb out of a teeny little car. Five balance beams are wheeled out and moved into place. An enormous vault also needs to be rolled to its accustomed spot. A set of uneven bars needs to be bolted into the floor to ensure that it won’t wobble. And finally the mats – big mats, small mats, rolled

Team picture taken at the 2010 Grange Fair mats, flat mats, mats filled with foam, and mats filled with air – blanket almost the entire floor.

Less than a half an hour has passed since the gym was empty, but now it is anything but. And it’s about to become less so, because here come the girls! As young as five and all the way up to seniors in high school, some driving as long as an hour to get here, the girls arrive ready to begin practice.

They are the Bellefonte YMCA Gymnastics Team!

Lady Raiders Keep Rolling, Advance in PIAA Playoffs

By Matt Masullo

In a battle of the last two PIAA Class AAA state champions, the Lady Raiders of Bellefonte persevered to top the Lady Blue Devils of GreencastleAntrim, 5-2 in the opening round of the PIAA state playoffs.

In the top of the first inning, Lady Raider pitcher Raychel DeArmitt looked shaky, giving up a leadoff single.

She followed that with a strikeout (one of her six on the day) before giving up back-to-back singles, the second of which was an RBI single off the bat of Jenna Crunkleton. An errant throw to the plate put runners on second and third with one out, leaving DeArmitt in a precarious situation. She settled down, striking out the next two batters, stranding two Lady Blue Devils in scoring position. In the top of the second, DeArmitt again got into trouble, giving up a leadoff double, but ultimately kept the run from scoring, striking out two more Lady Blue Devils in the inning.

In the third inning, DeArmitt got dinged again, giving up a leadoff single, followed by an RBI triple down the right field line off of the bat of Rachel Kline, giving Greencastle-Antrim a 2-0 lead. As she did all day, DeArmitt kept her cool, stranding yet another runner

in scoring position to end the inning.

In the fourth, she began matching what her counterpart had been doing all game to that point.

The Lady Blue Devils, who won the 2009 state title, sent ace Autum Appleby to the circle to face one of the hottest hitting teams in the state in Bellefonte.

Through four innings of play, she was perfect, retiring 12 straight batters. In the fifth inning, she slipped up, and the Lady Raiders took advantage.

After striking out cleanup hitter Jessica Gmerk, Appleby hit Chrissy Tressler with a pitch, giving Bellefonte its first base runner of the evening.

After a Vanessa Cooper strike out, Devon Etters roped an RBI double to left field, which scored courtesy runner Alicia Allen. That brought DeArmitt to the plate, who struck out in her previous at-bat. She would get some revenge and help her own cause, knocking an RBI double of her own to tie the game at two heading to the sixth inning.

The Lady Blue Devils went 1-2-3 in the top half of the inning, bringing the heart of the Bellefonte lineup to the plate in the bottom of the sixth. Hannah Cooper led the inning off with a double to center field and Jillian Musser

Battle, an All-American selection who led the Nittany Lions to the Big Ten Tournament championship game and an NCAA Tournament appearance in March, will also be participating in an on-field event during the game, and will sign free autographs and take pictures between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. on the ballpark’s main concourse.

-FEAR THE DEER-

followed with a walk. After two failed bunt attempts, Erica DeVinney blasted a two-run triple to right-center field.

She would score on a Gmerek sacrifice fly on batter later. Bellefonte threatened again, with runners on second and third following a Tressler single and Vanessa Cooper’s double, but went quietly after a pop up to first base and a 6-3 put-out off the bat of DeArmitt.

Heading to the seventh, the Lady Raiders held an ace in their hand, senior pitcher Alexandra Stathes. DeArmitt retired the first two batters before giving up a triple. That brought Bellefonte Coach Greg Kohlehepp to the mound, bringing in Stathes to close the game out. She would strike out the final batter of the game, giving Bellefonte the win.

With the win, the Lady Raiders will face a familiar foe in Ambridge, who defeated Ft. LeBoeuff earlier Monday evening. Last year, Bellefonte defeated Ambridge 5-4 in the opening round of the state playoffs. The game will be played Thursday June 9 at Mount Aloysius College in Cresson at 12:00 pm. Check back next week for full coverage of the Lady Raiders run in the 2011 PIAA playoffs.

Tussey Mountain’s Summer Concerts Kick Off with Rusted Root

By Karen Dabney BOALSBURG – Renowned Pittsburgh band, Rusted Root, brought their exciting, innovative, ever-evolving sound to the Tussey Mountain Amphitheater in Boalsburg on Friday, June 3, to kick off the 2011 outdoor summer concert series. State College-based acoustic band, Table Ten, opened for them.

Formed in 1990, Rusted Root combined alternative music, rock, pop, jam band, and world music into their own signature sound. Their 1994 breakthrough album, When I Woke, contained the hit single, Send Me on My Way, which has been featured in films and TV shows. The song’s instrumental version in the 2011 Enterprise Rent-a-Car commercial is readily familiar to most people, and has won Rusted Root new fans.

The band toured during the 1990s then took a break to explore other musical opportunities. They came together again and recorded Stereo Rodeo in 2009, their first studio album since Welcome to My Party in 2002.

Their concert at Tussey Mountain Amphitheater featured new original music, along with some old Rusted Root favorites and cover tunes. Guitarist and lead vocalist Michael Glabicki greeted the audience with, “It’s good to be back. Where’ve you guys been?”

Glabicki wrote or co-wrote many of the band’s songs.

The other current members included Liz Berlin on percussion, penny whistle, and washboard; Patrick Norman on bass and percussion; Colter Harper on electric guitar and penny whistle; Dirk Miller on acoustic and electric guitar; and Preach Freedom on drums. In addition to the standard drum kit, the band’s distinctive percussion included world drums and rhythms from African, the Middle East, and Latin America.

The entire band contributed to the band’s complex vocal harmonies. In some songs the vocals were musical syllables used to create a rhythmic, atmospheric effect that ranged from a cutting edge, dissonant, modern sound to ancient echoes of indigenous peoples.

Driving, from the Stereo Rodeo CD, layered this type of

vocal expression over intricately interwoven, complex rhythms and melodies, creating the effect of an improv jam session.

Bringing in a traditional American instrument, Berlin played a washboard during Dance in the Middle, from the same CD, a syncopated tune with a compelling beat that got the audience moving.

The band played the only cover on their new album, Elvis Presley’s Suspicious Minds, giving the familiar song an intriguing, innovative feeling by adding Latin rhythms played on a hand-held drum.

Table Ten, an acoustic trio, opened for

No Rusted Root Root with original tunes, and alternative, Concert would be folk, and pop covers. Percussionist complete without Send Antonio Parisi played world rhythms on Me on My Way. This early bongo drums and cymbals song was a catchy, upbeat, (photo by Brian Baney) enchanting example of the band’s interest in syncopated African rhythms. The tune and harmonies sounded similar to music by the popular American New Wave Band, the Talking Heads. Glabicki’s vocals also shared stylistic similarities with the lead singer of Talking Heads, David Byrne.

Rusted Root’s music is characterized by diversity and experimentation. Their Stereo Rodeo CD marks a new direction, but the ethnic influences and emphasis on rhythm remain strong focuses.

Opening for Rusted Root, Table Ten consisted of Josh Corcoran on acoustic guitar, Jared Stillman on bass, and Antonio Parisi on percussion. They played original tunes, and alternative, folk rock, and pop covers with a difference.

Instead of using a drum kit, Parisi played world rhythms on bongo drums and cymbals. The unusual percussion was a natural match for Paul Simon’s Call Me Al, but gave a new, updated flavor to Run Around Sue, and Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison Blues.

Corcoran announced that Table Ten will release their first EP next month.

The next concert at Tussey Mountain Amphitheater will feature the Nittany Valley Symphony performing Sunset Symphony, a summer pops concert, on June 24 at 7:30 p.m.

The Amphitheater hosts family-friendly movies, and WingFest competitions that feature local bands. For more information on upcoming events, contact the Tussey Mountain Amphitheater, (800) 733-2754 or tusseymountain.com..

No Sex, Please is a Crowd Pleaser

By Pat Park

BOALSBURG – State College Community Theatre has another fun play happening at Boal Barn. The title, No Sex Please, We’re British and the fact that there are seven doors on stage should give the audience a good idea that they are about to see a farce. As the program says, “Farces love doors.”

The actors did a brilliant job of keeping the energy high on stage. Everyone moved at a speed that had me worried about the set – lava lamps and all. If you are old enough to remember the music used at the end of Benny Hill’s show as everyone chased each other around the English country side, you have an idea of the pace of the show.

The set, lava lamps and all, placed the time perfectly. Even more impressive was the costuming. White go-go boots, Nehru jackets, and ugly plaid trousers were all back in style. It was 1973 all over again. Gene Deible and Joy Elizabeth Downey did their homework well. The only tech problem was with the sound system. Some lines were lost, but the actors covered well.

Casting a show that calls for this type of pacing can be tricky, especially for a community group. Everyone on stage held their own with unbelievable energy.

Shaun T. McMurtrie and Sunam Ellis as the newly married Peter and Frances Hunter were definitely the stars of the show. The chemistry between was believable. As their friend Brian, William Daniel Daup was a joy. His body movements added to the frantic pacing of the show. I don’t think that he walked anyplace; he more or less bounced from place to place – even across the furniture.

Mercer Bristow is becoming one of my favorite local

actors. As Superintendent Vernon Paul, he showed how to underplay a man with a strong love of liquor. I hope that we see more of Mr. Bristow this summer.

The more mature lovers, Eleanor Hunter and Leslie Bromhead, Bonnie Spetzer and Charlie Wilson, were also believable. In fact I was surprised that the extra bedroom was needed when Eleanor already had one.

Amy Farkas and Katie Carriero as the two “professional girls” had fun with their roles. It is worth the price of a ticket just to see the flashing lights – and no, I won’t explain, you have to see them for yourself. Speaking of these two girls, Rod Egan must be much stronger than he looks. Rod has to carry one of the other cast members in some interesting holds – again, you have to see for yourself.

If you are a fan of actors frantically running around a stage, in and out of slamming doors, and in situations that are just plain silly, in other words if you love a good farce, go see No Sex Please, We’re British at Boal Barn.

Next up at Boal Barn will be The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. It will run from June No Sex Please, We’re British! is playing 28 to July 9. Show time is through June 18 at the Boal Barn Theatre.

To The Last Day The Final 153 Days of 2011 A.D. Published December 2011.

A true workman who neededth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth, comparing scripture to scripture who has studied to show himself approved! 2 Timothy 2:15 May 21, 2011-October 21, 2011 is a great period for salvation for God’s chosen ones. 153 days = a Great Multitude of Fish which did not break the disciples net. Five months or 153 days of salvation. After Peter drew in the net Jesus then said “Come and Dine.” John 21:12.

Come ye who hunger and thirst. Isaiah 55:1. Today is still the day of SALVATION! Jesus said to “watch and pray.” He is waiting on YOU! Do not delay as His coming is nigh, even unto the door! For more information please go to www.studies. com and or You Tube and type in 2011studies. There you will find the answers you may have well been searching for.
