Editor’s Prologue By Sandie Biddle, managing editor Editor@CentreCountyGazette.com CCGazette@Hughes.net

It’s nice to think back to the humble beginning of what turns out to be a big event – the tiny seed that grows into a mighty tree. My first memories of the arts festivals are pleasant ones. My mother and her two sisters heard about the first State College arts festival and each came up with crafts to create and sell there. It was a rare treat to see mom and favorite aunts in pretty long dresses, selling to small crowds along the “wall” on College Avenue. I was 13 years old and have been to dozens of arts festivals since. Then when I was working at the CDT in the early ’90s, I was in the front lobby when an artsy-looking fellow named George Marion came in with his little dog tucked under his arm and a story to tell. He had organized a small arts festival in Boalsburg for local artists and would like to buy an ad. He said it would be “the peoples’ choice.” Later on, I was privileged to be part of the small Peoples’ Choice committee for a few years. This is issue is dedicated to the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts and the Peoples’ Choice Festival of Pennsylvania Arts & Crafts, together bringing hundreds of thousands of visitors to State College and Boalsburg starting mid-week. Each festival has its own personality and highlights. You’ll find both schedules in the middle of this issue of The Gazette and more in next week’s. Stott Publications also wrote, designed, and published the Peoples’ Choice Festival Guide that’s free at newsstands all over central Pennsylvania. Also in this issue, read about many more lively entertainment opportunities to spice up your life in the next few weeks – funny plays, classic movies, kids productions, intimate classical concerts, dance theatre, musicals, and free outdoor concerts. There are plenty of things to keep the kids busy, too – library programs, Bible school, day camps, Children’s Day on July 13 at the State College festival, and Character Day on July 16 at Peoples’ Choice. Sam brought us news of a unique Fourth of July parade in the tiny town of Colyer – not a marching band in sight, but plenty of tractors and silly floats. I never dreamed of converting a boat on a trailer into a parade float. What fun! And as Sam wrote, “If you ever have foreign visitors who don’t get what America is all about, I suggest you take them over to Colyer on the Fourth of July. They’ll see smiling, laughing, happy people enjoying and celebrating the freedoms that form the very heart of this nation.” Enjoy the events of the next few weeks, and the out-of-town friends and relatives who will inevitably drop in for a visit during the arts festivals. Start your Christmas shopping. Dump the diet for a few days. Get up and sway to the music. Our time on this earth is all too short to ignore opportunities for joy. And there are plenty of those opportunities in Happy Valley.

Letters To The Editor Dear Centre County Residents: In the midst of the current justified concern over the rate of incarceration and the cost of that incarceration for inmates in Pennsylvania, it is important to keep in mind the efforts of Centre County in avoiding unnecessary incarceration. Since 1989, the Centre County Court has made a concerted effort to identify those cases which are appropriate for “in-home detention” and do not require full incarceration. The In-Home Detention Program requires that the sentenced individual wear a monitor “bracelet” on his or her ankle so that the courts can determine the location of the individual at all times. They are permitted to be away from their home only for educational, religious, and employment reasons. Not only does this save space in the Centre County Correctional facility, but it permits sentenced individuals to maintain their employment and to maintain contact with their families and their communities. One of our goals is to keep in mind that individuals sentenced to the Centre County Correctiona l Facility will eventua lly be released and our community has an interest in seeing them resume a lawful and productive life. Our experience has demonstrated that interrupting that life to the least extent possible, generally assures a more successful reintroduction to that life. Since 2000, 1,489 people have been sentenced to in-home detention, serving a total of 106,405 days (29l.5 years!) on the In-Home Detention Program. Not only has this resulted in a better eventua l outcome for those individuals and their communities, but at a cost of $68.96/day, it has also saved the taxpayers of Centre County approximately $7,337,688.80 in days not served in the Centre County Correctional Facility. It is important to note that to be sentenced to the In-Home Detention Program, the Defendant must agree to pay all costs associated with the program, so that the cost to the County and its taxpayers, is $0. This has been the case since its inception 22 years ago! Centre County continues to look for appropriate opportunities to expand its options for sentencing defendants. Incarceration continues to be an important component of that list, but as our success has shown, it is not always the most attractive option. Thoma s King Kistler, Judge

Griffin Earns Eagle Award By Robert Kidder

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A court of honor for the presentation of the Eagle Scout Award was recently held at the Knights of Columbus Hall in State College, for Aron Griffin, of State college Boy Scout Troop 83. The son of Karen and Mark Griffin of State College, Aron served Troop 83 as a Patrol Leader and Troop Scribe. He is a senior at State College Area High School. Aron has attended numerous scout camps and high adventure camps in Florida, New Hampshire, and New Mexico. During his scouting activities, he earned 22 merit badges, is a member of the order of the arrow and serves as an adult leader in the troop.

By Toni Duchi

Don’t Forget Those Ears! Ear cleaning is just as critical as teeth cleaning for your dog. Ear maintenance prevents infections and parasites from setting in and helps prevent minor issues from developing into chronic problems. Often caused by bacteria, yeast, and mites, ear infections are common in dogs because of their deep ear canals, which trap moisture, dirt, and ear wax. Left untreated, these infections can spread throughout the ear, leading to deafness and deep-seated infections that require long-term therapy. Get down there and smell your dog’s ears. You’ll know immediately if there is a problem. Look in the canal. If you see a dark black/brown residue, it’s time for a good cleaning. Regular ear cleaning can save dogs from needless suffering. Yeast infections and outbreaks of ear mites are painful and uncomfortable and dogs can cause damage to their ears by scratching. A common symptom is shaking of the head, and if bad enough, the problem can cause damage to small blood vessels, creating sores or hematomas. Canine ear infections are the number-one reason for vet visits. According to the Veterinary Pet Insurance Company, in 2009, more than 68,000 claims were received for ear-related vet bills, with an average cost of $100 per trip. Good ear maintenance should always be a priority, and owners on tight budgets should be particularly diligent if they want to prevent needless veterinary expenses. It’s not that different from teeth cleaning – bad teeth can cause all sorts of problems elsewhere in the body – problems that are expensive to diagnose and treat later. Spending a little up front can often prevent huge vet bills later. A good ear wash or cleaner is a great investment. The key to preventing ear infections is to keep the ears clean, but also dry, with no oily residue left behind. There are many products that can do this, some are liquids, some are cleaning pads. Some rely on a foaming or bubbling action, others are pre-moistened cotton wipes. Bio-Groom’s gentle Ear-Care Cleaner and Ear Wax Remover helps dissolve and clean away build-ups without leaving the ear sticky or gummy. Ear Care Cleaner pads are the same formula, containing eucalyptus oil, boric and salicylic acids, and exfoliants. Zymox Enzymatic Ear Cleanser is a no-fuss foaming cleaner that gently eliminates dirt, wax, fungus and bacteria – the

common causes of infection that result in smelly, red, and tender ears. This product does its job without stinging, gently reacting with the gunk in the ears without harsh chemicals or detergents. Another good product called Earoxide, is a cleansing solution with carbamide peroxide and glycerin, and, again, a simple squirt in is all that’s necessary. The product does all the work and the less you have to stick your fingers in his ears, the better you, and he, will like it. Your dog will feel a fizzing within his ear which will cause him to shake his head. This dislodges the debris and allows it to flow (or fly) out. Just get out of the way! Ear wipes can be very effective, if your dog will allow you to use them. Clean Ears Wipes use green tea, aloe vera, lemon, and marigold for a gentle and natural clean. Many people prefer herbal products, and although these products may not work as fast as the others with detergents or chemicals, the result is the same. Another all-natural ear wash is by Cain & Able – All Natural Ear Cleanser, which eliminates moisture, wax, and dirt using essential oils and extracts such as lavender, eucalyptus, tea tree, citronella, and willow bark, which all work together to reduce inflammation and sooth and disinfect the ear, while the aloe vera soothes and moisturizes the skin. Dogs have an L-shaped inner ear that easily traps water and debris at the lower end of the ear canal, especially those breeds with long ear flaps, those that spend a lot of time in the water, or dogs prone to allergies. For these dogs, a product that not only is an antimicrobial and antiseptic cleanser but also one that provides a protective moisture barrier is a good choice. Nutri-Vet Sport Ear Wash with Aloe Vera is made especially for active dogs that spend a lot of time in the water and it can be used every day. With a little preventive maintenance, your dog’s ears will serve him for many years to come, and your pocketbook will thank you too!

STEVE COLE - Owner 1160 Old 220 Rd. Bellefonte, PA 16823

Helping to keep the book shelves organized at the Faith Center is a dangerous volunteer job for me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least if you listen to my husband Jim. He has pointed out that it is the most expensive volunteer job that I have ever had. He may be right. My Brother Was An Only Child by Jack Douglas may prove Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point. I first read the book in 1959 while attending a lecture in college on something or another. I forget. I do remember laughing out loud

and causing a bit of a disturbance. So, seeing it again was like meeting an old friend unexpectedly and, of course, I had to take it home with me. You may need some background on the book, and the author, since it never became a leader on any best seller list. Jack Douglas was a comedy writer in early television. Among his employers was Jack Parr (to those of you much younger than I, Jack Parr was the host of the Tonight Show back in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s). Parr has written the introduction to the book in what might

not be the most flattering of introductions. Parr says that while some writers are loaded with honor and integrity, leaving out honor and integrity, he has often seen Douglas loaded; he blames that on the evils of an expense account. In the book itself, the chapter titles give no help what-so-ever in understanding what will be found inside and sometimes the chapter titles are as funny as the chapters themselves. For example: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Story of Wine or Brown Feet, Why Are You Blue?â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hand It Is Much Better to Have Fingers Than Toesâ&#x20AC;?, or the chapter titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Put the

Cobra Back in the Basket, Mother â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ll Be No Show Tonight,â&#x20AC;? this chapter is not about mothers or cobras, by the way. Chapter sixteen is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Famous Bastardsâ&#x20AC;?. To quote it in its entirety: â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the use â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you all know who you are.)â&#x20AC;? The complete book is just silly, but now you have an idea of what made me LOL in my younger days. There have been quite a few nonsense books since 1959, but Jack Douglas was an early pioneer in the field.

P.S. Book Clearance by Command of Husband at end of month. Watch the Gazette for details.

How You Can Help Red Cross Blood Services Provide July Donors a Cool Treat

All blood types needed; O+, O-, A- and B- in high demand Pssst. Here’s a real scoop. During July individuals who present to donate blood or platelets in the 100-county American Red Cross Blood Services, Greater Alleghenies Region, will receive a free coupon for a cool summertime treat, while supplies last. “As temperatures increase, donor turnout tends to decrease, so we have partnered with several vendors across our service area to thank those who make time to donate blood during July. July is National Ice Cream Month so this is a timely treat for those who come out to donate blood this month,” stated Lisa Hart, Donor Resources director.

“Currently individuals of all blood types are urgently needed to donate blood, especially those with O-positive, O-negative, A-negative and B-negative blood types,” she added. “Blood supplies are critically low in these blood types, which are of concern before a holiday weekend.” Galliker Dairy Company is a major sponsor of the July ice cream promotion, providing coupons for pints of ice cream at blood drives held in Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Centre, Huntingdon, Indiana, and Somerset counties. See this week’s blood drive locations near the back of this issue.

Bridge Replacement Project Shifts to Roadway Portion CLARENCE – PennDOT has begun the roadway portion of a Centre County bridge replacement project next week. Crews are now removing pavement from the roadway on Route 4002 (Clarence Road) near the village of Clarence. Work will be done at the intersection of Route 4002 and township Route 606 (Tennessee Road) to remove the existing pavement as crews prepare to pave the roadway the following week. Motorists traveling in this area will experience extended delays and are asked to

plan their travel accordingly. Flaggers will be in place. Because the nature of this project will not allow for travel by trucks and large vehicles, these types of vehicles should find alternate routes. Overall work on this project includes the removal of two bridges, installation of a new box beam bridge and box culvert. All work is weather dependent. Francis J. Palo Inc. of Clarion is the contractor on this $1 million project. PennDOT expects to complete the entire project in late November.

Colyer Celebrates the 4th with Parade & Picnic Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

COLYER – The small village of Colyer, in Potter Township, Chevy pickup truck, owned by Ray Bryant of Potters Mills. held its annual Fourth of July parade and picnic on Monday, With some swimming pool noodles and Styrofoam, Ray July 4. This tradition dates back 15 years to 1996, when transformed his truck into a likeness of Tow Mater, the some local men got together to compare and admire each tow truck character in the animated Cars movies.

130-year-old Church Bell Awaits New Belfry Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

AARONSBURG – In 1881, the newly constructed Emanuel Evangelical Church opened in Aaronsburg at 114 West Plum Street. The church served its congregation until 1967, when the building became the Aaronsburg Library. Earlier this year, the library moved to more spacious quarters in the Millheim Borough Building (the former East Penns Valley High School), and was renamed the East Penns Valley Branch Library. The old church, jointly owned by the boards of the library and the Penns Valley Historical Museum, is now up for sale, but a clause in the original deed forbids its sale with the bell still in its belfry. To remedy this situation, the board members contracted Nevin Stitzer Crane Service to remove the bell at 6 p.m. on the evening of June 27. Preparation for the bell’s removal seemed like a fairly simple task; just remove the pulley and unbolt the bell support from the belfry floor. However, when the volunteer workers entered the belfry, it was obvious that the bell would not fit through the opening in the belfry’s front wall. The problem was

solved by enlarging the opening with a power saw. In a somewhat ironic note, at exactly 6 p.m., the bell of the Aaronsburg United Church of Christ about a block away rang, as it does every hour, and the crane truck rolled down Plum Street to the old church/library building. Veteran crane operator, Kevin Stitzer, lowered the hydraulic supports to steady the truck, and hoisted the crane hook up to the belfry, where Chris Houser and Corry Dillon attached it to the bell with a sling. In one fluid motion, the bell was lifted up and out of the belfry, and gently lowered to the ground. The process was repeated for the bell support and pulley. The whole process took about ten minutes. I bet it took a lot longer to put the bell up there in 1881! After the crane left, Chris Houser and Correy Dillon performed the grunt work of loading the bell onto a utility trailer – not an easy task, as the cast-iron bell and support weigh several hundred pounds. The bell was hauled two blocks to the Penns Valley Historical Museum property, where it was unloaded and put

into the museum barn. Plans for the bell’s future are not completely firmed up Belfry opening yet, but was enlarged to mu seu m get the bell out. b o a r d members are considering having the bell sandA gentle landing. blasted a n d restored to its original condition, and displayed somewhere on the museum grounds, and perhaps rung on special occasions.

Arts Fest 2011: Artwork, Books, Music & More By Ebun Adewumi

STATE COLLEGE – The 44th Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts begins on Wednesday July 13 with Children and Youth Day and continues from Thursday, July 14 through Sunday, July 17. Dubbed Arts Fest by those who know it best, it will bring more than 125,000 people to downtown State College and the University Park campus. It features not only paintings, pictures, and crafts for sale by various artists but sand sculptures, musical groups, and theatrical performances.

Children’s Day

Children and Youth Day kicks off Arts Fest every year with local children ages eight to 18 selling their homemade crafts, games, and other “artsy” wares. The sidewalk sale is held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on South Atherton Street. Other activities and performances for children are a musical theater workshop with the Penn State NU Musical Theater group, a nationally known juggling act called The Gizmo Guys, sand sculptures by Brad Goll, and the perennial favorite: The Children and Youth Day Grand Procession. The Grand Procession starts at 4 p.m. on Old Main Lawn with the distribution of props at 3:15 p.m. Kids can be in control of various sized puppets, a variety of masks, drums, and banners. The march ends at Sidney Friedman Park next to Memorial Football Field. After children’s day, the rest of the Fest features an array of performances and events that appeal to the 18-and-over crowd. Main

event locations are Allen Street, the State College Presbyterian Church, the Sidney Friedman Park, the Festival Shell on Old Main Lawn, Schwab Auditorium, the Citizens Bank Downtown Theatre, and the State Theatre.

Thursday, July 14

On Thursday some events include a husband-and-wife Americana style band called Naked Blue, a Celtic band called Lanie’s, the Dirk Quinn band that calls its style “unique and progressive – one that sits somewhere between jazz, funk, and rock”, and a musical theatre performance of The Giver.

Friday, July 15

On Friday, events include a sing-along with members of local band Family Brew. Family Brew, who has been performing in State College for more than 20 years, features folk, rock, country, and audience participation. Other events are the Essence of Joy Alumni singers, Penn State student Chris Good on the guitar, and indie-rock band, The Long Afternoon.

Saturday, July 16

Saturday features more performances, and also the return of BookFestPA. In its second year, BookFestPA 2011 goes beyond last year’s event. Holding events at three locations downtown and on campus, authors will talk about their work, sign books, and greet

A Homegrown, Family-Friendly Arts Festival Affordable, friendly & fun BOALSBURG – It’s nearly 20 years since a handful of volunteers got together to create a homegrown arts festival. In 1993, there were 50 vendors, a couple food stands, and a few live bands. Now it’s one of the largest and most family-friendly arts festivals in central Pennsylvania – attracting more than 110,000 visitors over a four-day period last year. This year the People’s Choice Festival of Pennsylvania Arts & Crafts features more than 170 artists, nearly two dozen food vendors, and more than 30 acts on the two stages. Set in a huge circle around the edges of the Pennsylvania Military Museum grounds in Boalsburg, just three miles east of Penn State and State College, this circle of artists reveals wideopen green spaces for the children to frolic – with the children’s tents and activities in the middle. In addition, there are two large entertainment tents, which each seat about 400, a cluster of youth tents in the middle, emergency medical tent, two large dining tents, four drink booths, and four rest areas. The site is so spacious, no matter how large the crowd, visitors feel free and unfettered. Many even bring babies in strollers and their pets (on leashes, of course). One of the things that make Peoples Choice a little different from most arts festivals – all the artists, entertainers, and food vendors are from Pennsylvania. The selection of arts and food are chosen to suit the budgets of growing families. Artisans display a selection of toys, jewelry, wearables, pottery, art, and home decorations from practical to decorative. Have your caricature done, buy baskets for organizing, get a new belt, a pretty necklace, a few lawn ornaments, and pictures for your wall. There are artisans who offer handcrafted treasures from fiber, glass, wood, precious metals and gems, leather,

metal, and mixed media. Many central Pennsylvanians start their Christmas shopping at People’s Choice. There are youth art activities and exhibits in the middle of the circle as well. The food is nearly as much an attraction as the art. There are more than 20 food vendors on the south side of the circle, with two big dining tents in which to spread out. There’s traditional “fair food” like funnel cakes, fresh hot French fries, hot sausage sandwiches, and blooming onions. Try more exotic fare, like haluski, pierogies, gyros, Hungarian pastries, crepes, pizza, and Polish water ice. The People’s Choice Festival is an incorporated non-profit organization. The festival rents the property from the Friends of the Pennsylvania Military Museum, who also provides the for-fee parking. Free shuttle golf carts are available to help visitors move around the festival grounds. Admission is free. People’s Choice Festival is open Thursday, July 14 through Saturday, July 16 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, July 17 from noon to 5 p.m. The festival is three miles east of State College on U.S. Business Route 322 (South Atherton Street) in the historic village of Boalsburg, birthplace of Memorial Day. Beautiful, affordable fine art, an outdoor buffet of tasty treats, and the happy sounds of music and children playing – that’s what makes People’s Choice Festival of Pennsylvania Arts & Crafts one of the most pleasurable summer events in the region. Let’s raise a cup of fresh-squeezed lemonade and toast 19 years of this fantastic homegrown Pennsylvania event!

fans. Featuring plenty of local customers and nationally known authors alike, all events are free. Authors include bestseller Lisa Scottline, Tamar Myers, Nancy Martin, and former State College native Lindsay Eland. Events start at 10 a.m. and run until 5 p.m. at Schlow Library, State College Presbyterian Church, and the Hintz Family Alumni Center.

Sunday, July 17

Start off Sunday with the Sue Crowe Memorial 36th Annual Arts Festival Races. The 10K and 5K races begin at 8:30 a.m. at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. Registration fee is $18 before July 13; $20 after that. Race-day registration is available from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. Later in the morning, at 11 a.m., there will be a Kids’ Fun Run – a quarter-mile race for kids aged five through eight, and half-mile race for kids ages nine through 12. Sunday is also highlighted with a variety of performances to kick off the last day of Arts Fest including the return of Arts Fest favorite reggae band, The Earthtones. While many events are free, some performances require the purchase of an Arts Fest button. The button, $10, is for sale at many locations around town and at the Fest. A button for children aged six through 12 will also be on sale for $5. The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts has many sponsors, some which include StateCollege.com, East Highlands Neighborhood Trash Crew, Penn State Alumni Association, and the Downtown State College Improvement District.

It’s part of the Nittany Valley Shakespeare Festival’s New Plays series. Merlin is getting old. He and Nimue are the last of the great sorcerers, and Merlin hankers for a taste of humanity. He is only half human, and a missing element in his life is the emotion and human frailty he has witnessed over the centuries. He gives in to that sentimentality and devises a spell that makes him grow backward and be re-born as fully human. Arthur is his last attempt to overcome evil in the world, and as Arthur grows into his place in history, Merlin seeks only the comfort of a normal human existence. In

Bellefonte Win Over SC American Twice as Nice Southern Tier Champs Meet Philipsburg-Osceola for District 5 Title By Les Barnhart BELLEFONTE – Bellefonte got a superb pitching performance from Dylan Crunick and a clutch hit from Ethan Corman in the sixth inning to defeat State College American, 3-2 on Tuesday night to capture the District 5 Southern Tier crown in 11-12 year old Little League Baseball. The game was a rematch from the second round game in which Bellefonte also prevailed in a much high scoring affair, 12-11. On Tuesday, Crunick was stellar on the mound as he limited American to just one hit while striking out nine in the complete game win. He also accounted for scoring the winning run in the sixth inning. With the game tied in the bottom of the

sixth inning, Crunick walked with one out. He then proceeded to steal both second and third base. With two outs, Corman stepped to the plate and knocked him in from third base with an RBI single that gave Bellefonte the win and Southern Tier title. They will meet Philipsburg-Osceola for the District 5 championship in a best-ofthree series that starts on Friday at 6pm in Philipsburg. They advanced to the championship by defeating Tri County, 4-1, to win the Northern Tier. The second game will be played in Bellefonte on Saturday at 6pm. Should the teams split the first two games, the third and decisive game will be played back in Philipsburg.

Ragan Captures the Flag By Matt Masullo

David Ragan had a shot at winning the Daytona 500 earlier this year, but a late-race mistake cost him what would have been the biggest victory of his life. On Saturday night, Ragan kept his cool, and won his first career Nascar Spring Cup Series race, winning the Coke Zero 400. On the final restart, Ragan found his teammate Matt Kenseth on his bumper pushing him to victory lane. Unlike in the Daytona 500, he didn’t jump the gun early (he was

black flagged in February on a restart for passing too early before the green flag d ropp e d). Joey Lagano, Kasey Kahne and Kyle Busch rounded out the top 5.

Wortman Shines in Disney By Matt Masullo

Bellefonte’s Leo Wortman, wrestling in the 140 lb weight class with the Keystone Brawler Blaze, went 10-1, capturing a silver medal and being named an All-American in the AAU Disney Duels that wrapped up on June 28th. The four day tournament featured top wrestlers from around the country competing on regional teams. Wortman’s lone defeat came at the hands of Sean Duloc, wrestling with the New Tampa Wrestling Club. Of his ten victories, five came by way of falls. W 2-0 OT – Leo Wortman (KBB) over David Evans (Team Missouri Storm Select) W 12-7 – Leo Wortman (KBB) over Tony Parks (Team Iowa) W 4-1 – Leo Wortman (KBB) over Colton Payne (Ohio DYT) L Fall – Sean Duloc (New Tampa Wrestling Club) over Leo Wortman (KBB) W Fall (1:10) – Leo Wortman (KBB) over Mark Bedard (Arrichon Black) W Fall (4:14) – Leo Wortman (KBB) over Griffin Hieb (Team South Dakota Blue) W 7-5 – Leo Wortman (KBB) over Taylor Grenawalt (Siberia Freeze) W Fall (4:51) – Leo Wortman (KBB) over Alex Parascuk (South Florida Lightning) W Fall – Leo Wortman (KBB) over Thomas Disanti (Turks Head Knights) W Fall (3:08) – Leo Wortman (KBB) over Emmanuel Morkentone (Young Guns) W 3-2 – Leo Wortman (KBB) over Kelvin Dixon (NC Dream Team Blue)

Centre County Baseball League All-Star Game Unionville’s Cole and Jabco Power American to Win Marion Walker Repeats as Southern Tier Champs By Les Barnhart

CLARENCE – The American squad defeated National in the Centre County Baseball’s All-Star Game, 12-7, last Sunday in a game played at the historic field in Clarence. The Home of the Mounties was the backdrop for a game that featured a combined thirty hits by the two teams. Leading the 19-hit attack for American was Unionville’s Dan Cole and Derek Jabco. Both Cole and Jabco helped power American to an 8-0 lead after a five-run fourth inning. A.J. Robinson picked up the win on the mound while Todd Orndorf took the loss for National.

Fort Bellefonte Makes Memories and Happy Campers By Les Barnhart

The joy of camping is that you don’t really have to go far to get away. While some will travel farther than others, there is simply no rule for how far from your house you must stray. Some can find that escape in their backyard while others including myself need to be away from the house so as to be pulled back into the normal duties one faces in a given summer weekend. One favorite spot of both my friends and family is almost in our backyard. The KOA, which is also located on Jacksonville Road may get all the internet hits and have the Interstate signs but its Fort Bellefonte that offers something it’s bigger commercial neighbor doesn’t that makes it a favorite for those looking to get away from the “real” world. The first thing you will notice when you enter the front office is that the owners, no matter what time you roll into the campground, they always greet you with a genuine smile and even remember your name. They do things the old fashioned way with paper and pen rather than clicks of a keyboard. Its refreshing and even a bit nostalgic to drive off the paved road and into place that makes you feel like you are nestled in a patch of secluded woods rather than less than ten minutes from a grocery store and gas stations. The Fort offers spacious sites for everyone. Whether you have a motorhome, a travel trailer or prefer to pop a tent, they have space for you. Don’t have any of those but still want to get away into the outdoors? They also have cabins on the campground that you can rent. With nearly 90 sites available, you are bound to find something that fits your needs. Plus they offer what everyone wants to hear at a campsite…”pullthru sites”. In addition to all the room that campers are afforded at their sites, the Fort offers other amenities that are lost on

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.

some. They have a playground with a basketball and volleyball courts. They also have miniature golf as well as shuffleboard to really hit the way back button. There is a shower room and they sell ice and ice cream as well as refill propane onsite. Now, that may not have the wow factor that other campgrounds can offer but where the Fort makes up for it is being able to sit, walk or ride bikes without feeling like you are in someone elses space in doing so. Quiet mornings listening to the birds chirp or the cows moo allow for those moments of escape from the busy world many of us find ourselves in at times. They offer a shower house as well as laundry facilities onsite. In addition they have nature trails, modern restrooms and each site has its own picnic table and a fire ring. I would call Fort Bellefonte our favorite “home away from home” and I think that those who have stayed there would agree that its further proof that you don’t have to go far to get away. If you haven’t yet found this hidden gem, do yourself and your family a favor and head out to the Fort. Give Evelyn or Mike a call at the office (814-355-9820) to plan your getaway.

Feeder Summer Kayak Slalom, Bethesda, MD By David Kurtz

Chauncey (Chance) Blakeslee of Bellefonte came up with the only gold medal earned by Mach One paddlers at the summer 2011 version of the Feeder Slalom in Bethesda, MD last weekend, but other members of the Mach One Slalom Team did superbly well, too. Chance’s score of 106 seconds was 3 seconds faster than Jordan Sherman’s score. Sherman lives nearby in Germantown, MD and had bettered him in previous races. Chance’s class was the kayak singles in the cadet age group. Also scoring well in that group was Kyler Phillips of Bellefonte with a 131 second time to take third place. Ethan Van Horn of Bellefonte scored very well in his continuing trials with Simon

Ranagan of Bethesda, MD but remained with a silver medal by 4 seconds with a score of 87 seconds to Ranagan’s 83. Van Horn’s sister, Evelyn, also earned a silver medal but in the cadet women’s kayak class with a score of 107 seconds. In this effort she was beaten by Eliza Malakoff of Bethesda who scored only a single second faster, 106 seconds. In this class Sarah Mosier earned a bronze medal with a score of 114 seconds. In the kayak cub cadet class nine year old Alden Henrie of Snow Shoe showed a respectable score of 148 to take fourth place. Ethan Diefenbach of Bellefonte had a score of 105 seconds to take 9th place in the extremely competitive kayak junior-16 class.

Weekly Entertainment Love, Sex & The IRS at Millbrook Cabaret

Stage & Screen Love, Sex, and the IRS opened at the Millbrook Playhouse on June 30 and my cheeks still hurt from laughing. If any of the subjects mentioned in the title appeal to you, go to see it. Lesile and Jon, two guys trying to make it as musicians, share an apartment in New York City. To save money on their taxes, Jon has been filing them as a married couple and when the IRS comes to investigate the only sensible thing to do is have Lesile become the “little woman.” Girlfriends, landlords, and mothers show up to complicate things. Nichola s Wilder gets a chance to strut the stage

in drag and an uglier woman has never been seen at Millbrook. The combination of his costuming and his reluctance to wear high heels and make-up is perfect. His roommate Jon, played by Alexander Taylor Mace, is believable as the instigator of this ridicules solution. He is the perfect foil for the silliness of the other cast members. Ted Cockley is back again this year as the beer-swilling landlord. I have often wondered how his parishioners feel about his playing the wild and wacky parts that he seems to carry off so well. Vivian, Jon’s mother, is bravely played by Eileen Glenn. Somehow she manages to keep a certain amount of dignity in the middle of all of the confusion. A complement to Ms Glen – even though I have seen her in shows in the past, I did not recognize the actress in this role. That, my friends, is talent. The girl fiends, Kate and Connie, were equally convincing. Allison Jordon, Kate is on stage through most of the

play and adds her own comedic touch as she tries to hold the boys in line. Connie, played by Monica Bradley, was a delightful surprise. She was the best touch of “New York” in the show. I wish she were going to be in another play this season; I would like to check what was personality and what was acting. Brett Epstein almost stole the show as the IRS man. His character gets to go through a wide range of acting opportunities. You have no idea how “still” this man can be. You have to see it to believe it. Patrick Carroll rounds out the cast, providing the surprise ending. Love, Sex, and the IRS runs through July 10. It is in their Cabaret, so don’t forget to take snacks and beverage of choice. Buddy, The Buddy Holly Story started July 7 on the Main Stage.

be uploaded onto the Punk Rock Sock Hop’s facebook page where the attendees can tag themselves and take the pictures to do with as they please after the event. The State College Area Rollers roller derby team will also be on hand. You can meet the Rollers and they will have a table set up where you can learn more about joining the team or becoming a ref. You can also pick up some Rollers merchandise to help them fund their endeavors. And, if that wasn’t enough already, “Bee-Bop” will be bringing her Hula Hoop Intermission Performance to the evening’s festivities. In addition to the bands, “DJ Junior” will be spinning vintage tunes. And, when I say “spinning,” I mean “spinning.” DJ Junior spins 45 rpm records of vintage 50s and 60s Rock & Roll, Jump Blues, Rockabilly and Garage Rock. If you’re wondering what a record is, you might be too young. The Punk Rock Sock Hop starts jumping at 8pm. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door. The event is for persons 21 and older.

A SOCK HOP FOR A GOOD CAUSE STATE COLLEGE – The “Punk Rock Sock Hop” is coming to The Arena in State College tonight (7/8). The event will feature six area bands and a DJ playing a mix of Punk Rock, Rock & Roll, Psychobilly, Gutterbilly or Rockabilly done in a vintage Sock Hop format. Cover charge for the event will go to the bands and the State College Area Food Bank. So, just what is a “Punk Rock Sock Hop?” According to event organizer Veronica Barnett, it’s a “vintage “dance party” with a mix of Punk/Rock-nRoll/Psychobilly/Gutterbilly or Rockabilly bands playing for us to hop about to.” The term “Sock Hop” came about in the 1950’s because high school dancers were required to remove their shoes in order to protect the varnished floors of high school gymnasiums. Attendees are encouraged to dress in vintage Sock Hop style as there will be a 50s Costume Contest with a chance to win one of three prizes. In addition, there will be a photo booth with a backdrop and an assortment of photo props. All the photos taken will
