Editor’s Prologue

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

Butterflies, lightning bugs, flying pigs, miniature aircraft, a cappella music and childlike giggles floating on the summer breeze. It’s the height of summer in Happy Valley – arts festival time – with JazzPA, The Last Cruise, Bellefonte Arts & Crafts Fair, and Grange Fair waiting in the wings.

This issue features arts festival weekend events in State College and Boalsburg – and JazzPA next weekend in Bellefonte. Those are the headliners, but many more small opportunities pepper our calendars to spice up midsummer days and nights.

Sam Stitzer’s been all over – carnivals, Bible schools, parades, a Spikes game, and an “airport” for radio-controlled planes and helicopters. Amy Debach Confer explores the mysteries of fireflies. PSU Master Gardeners invite us to a butterfly garden. Karen Dabney introduces us to a centuries-old way of harmonizing. And Pat Park tells about her Buddy Holly experience more than four decades after a plane crash ended his short career.

Leisure can be educational. Check out the Viet Nam re-enactment at the PA Military Museum, get involved with the Bald Eagle Watershed preservation group, or take your first lesson in canoeing or kayaking. Join an investment club, become a rock hound, or be part of the local writers’ network.

Don’t forget to lend a helping hand. The Red Cross desperately needs your blood donation.

You could sponsor a butterfly as a memorial to a lost loved one; and there’s a Pink Day event in August to raise money for breast cancer research. The Salvation Army could put some of your old clothing and household goods to good use; and the Food Banks are providing for more families than ever.

I’ve been struggling for months to come up with weekly poll questions for our Web site – in place of one that has been there since I became editor. [You’ve made it perfectly clear with your responses that “The Gazette is no place for political news!”]

The other day I had a breakthrough. Let’s make it fun! There are enough serious, thoughtprovoking, policy-making polls out there. So beginning next week, The Gazette poll question will be named This or That? You’ll be asked to make such earth-shaking choices as: Chocolate or Vanilla? Steelers or Eagles? Cats or Dogs? Country or Rock? (Chocolate, Steelers, cats, and rock for me!)

Be well. Invest a little time this week – and enjoy all that our beautiful area has to offer.

Next week, we’ll offer even more ways for you to get involved, learn something new, find inspiration, or be entertained. That’s what your community newspaper is all about.

BUSINESS BRIEF

Physicians Join Mt. Nittany Group

Nittany Creek Bridge Work Starts July 26 on Route 1005 Contributed by PennDOT

WALKER TOWNSHIP – Work to repair the Nittany Creek Bridge will begin Tuesday, July 26 along Route 1005 (Forest Ave.) in Centre County. The bridge spans Nittany Creek in Walker Township, a few miles south of the village of Zion. Work is expected to last for six weeks, into early September. All work is weather-dependent.

A detour using Routes 550 and 26 will be in place as crews from PennDOT Centre County Maintenance work to replace the deck and beams of the existing bridge. Signage will be in place to alert drivers to the closure.

The current bridge was built in 1939 and carries average daily traffic of 738 vehicles. The bridge is currently posted for 14 tons for single vehicles and 26 tons for combination vehicles.

This repair work will allow PennDOT to remove the posting.

PennDOT advises drivers to obey posted speed limits and follow all official detour signs. For more information on roadway construction and maintenance operations, visit PennDOT’s website at www.dot.state.pa.us. Follow PennDOT on Twitter at www.twitter. com/511PAStateCOLL.

First Tractor Run a Great Success Contributed by Pets Come First

On Saturday, July 9, the Grassflat Moose held a Tractor Run to benefit Pets Come First. PCF president Deb Warner’s husband Rick Smith is Governor of the local club. Local members came up with the idea and club manager Brenda Moore made all the arrangements.

Instead of Harleys, there were John Deeres, Kubotas, and Craftsman. Local folks brought their decorated garden tractors to the Moose Club and, for a $10 fee, participated in the 1.5-mile ride around Grassflat.

M & C Garage was a pit stop for refreshments for the one-hour ride. Pets Come First had their table set up with pictures and stories, and t-shirts and coffee mugs for sale. More than $250 was raised for the animals. Everyone had such a great time that the run has been officially voted to be an annual event.

Mount Nittany Physician Group announced the addition of Jennifer Gilbert, DO, to its Pain Management Clinic. Dr. Gilbert will join Medical Director Upendra Thaker, MD, at the Pain Management Clinic to provide care to the community.

Mount Nittany Physician Group is pleased to announce that Rick Pasquariello, MD, is providing primary medical care for adults at its Green Tech Drive office. As an internal medicine physician, Dr. Pasquariello will be a primary care physician to people over the age of 16. The addition of his services will help meet the needs of the growing community.

THE GAZETTE - SERVING CENTRE COUNTY

Local author, J. Kelly Poorman, has given us And A Child ….., a book with a very timely message. Much has been said and been written on bullying in our schools, but Mr. Poorman has written from a personal point of view.

Hank and Edwin meet when Hank steps in to save the new boy, Edwin, from being attacked by three of their classmates. Hank has been a victim in the past and risking his own safety, he stops the fight by telling the bullies that Edwin has serious martial arts skills – much to Edwin’s surprise.

As the two boys become friends, they discover that they have more in common than they realized. Hank is being raised by two fathers and Edwin has two mothers. Their friendship helps them to have the courage to make a stand for all of the students who are considered outcasts, the heavy, the skinny, the nerds, the minorities, and the gay/lesbians. They want the school to be a safe environment for all disenfranchised students.

They also learn about the prejudices against the elderly when they visit Edwin’s father and are responsible for the care of his elderly father. The boys return home to try to start a social group for students who are usually picked on in the halls and after school. It is indeed a case of “And a child will lead them.”

The message of the author is very clear. His characters are well drawn and he has enough of a plot to keep you reading. I did feel that Mr. Poorman deserves a better editor or proofreader.

The small mistakes really bothered me. This is not the complete fault of Mr. Poorman, but he needs to be more aware of them to be taken seriously as an author.

Considering what one hears on the street today, the language of students in the book is far from vulgar, but parents may want to be aware that the gay/ lesbian scene is part of the story.

J. Kelly Poorman is scheduled for a book signing at Barnes and Noble on the 13th of August from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. It would be a good time to learn of his other books.

PS. The “Books, Books, and Other Things You Don’t Need” sale will be July 23 at 128 East Cherry Lane, behind the Undine parking lot. Stop in, if only just to say hello.

FERGUSON TOWNSHIP – On July 23, there will be a community celebration and special dedication of the Snetsinger Butterfly Garden at Tom Tudek Memorial Park hosted by Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Centre County with “Butterfly Bob” Snetsinger, The Tudek Trust, Ferguson Township, and Centre Region Parks and Recreation. The event is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with the special dedication at 10:30 a.m.

It would be hard to describe in a few sentences the wonder and enchantment of The Snetsinger Butterfly Garden. The three-acre enhanced habitat within the Tom Tudek Memorial Park (Ferguson Township) teems with plants, and a rich variety of insect and animal species that together make up the natural diversity of life. The development of this butterfly habitat has been the passion of Dr. Robert Snetsinger, Professor Emeritus of Entomology at Penn State University, popularly known as “Butterfly Bob.” As close friends of the Tudek

family, the project developed as a labor of love in tribute to the loss of Wendy and Bob Snetsinger’s teenage daughter to cancer who, like Tom Tudek, died at age 17. Both their daughter Clare and Tom Tudek were interested in butterflies with Tom and his brother having boyhood butterfly collections.

Dr. Snetsinger’s mission has been to educate the public about the importance of butterfly conservation and ecosystems, many of which are in decline throughout the world. Through his efforts he has encouraged the general public to establish butterfly gardens through the creation of new butterfly friendly habitats and the restoration of neglected waste areas. The Tudek Trust, Center Region Parks and

PAGE 9

Recreation, and Ferguson Township have recently recognized Dr. Snetsinger’s outstanding work and have officially designated the habitat as “The Snetsinger Butterfly Garden at Tom Tudek Memorial Park.” A special dedication will take place at 10:30am at the habitat information kiosk.

Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Center County, in partnership with Dr. “Butterfly Bob” Snetsinger, develop and operate The Snetsinger Butterfly Garden as an educational resource. Master Gardeners provide mentoring in environmental stewardship; promote gardening for biodiversity; develop habitat informational displays; and offer tours, presentations and other educationa l programs.

A butterfly gardener extends an open invitation for many species of wildlife, especially showy butterflies, to visit and take up residency. Park visitors stroll the grounds of the Tom Tudek Memorial Park, taking in the beauty the park has to offer in its scenic walkingpaths, horse pasture, and of course, the wonder of the butterfly garden. Curious onlookers frequently stop to ask questions and marvel at the natural beauty that is the web of life in the meadow habitat.

Located within the larger habitat is The Penn State Extension Master Gardener Pollinator-friendly Demonstration Garden, a garden created as part of a statewide effort to educate the public on planting pollinator-friendly gardens that provide food and habitat for native insects and animals.

July 23rd marks the second annual Wings In the Park celebration, a Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Centre County-planned and -hosted public event located at the Snetsinger Butterfly Garden in the Tom Tudek Memorial Park. The day’s activities include demonstrations and displays, a photography exhibit, tours, family games and hands-on activities, all developed to showcase Butterfly and

Pollinator Friendly Gardening including the importance of bees, bee health, and pollination.

Master Gardeners and “Butterfly Bob” will be on hand to provide guidance on how to establish butterfly and other pollinator-friendly plantings in the home garden.

Highlights of the celebration are the habitat scavenger hunt, pollinator minigolf, and live observation beehive and lifecycle exhibit.

Whether gazing at an American Goldfinch perched on a thistle, a bumble bee harvesting nectar from a coneflower, or an Eastern Black Swallowtail taking wing above the midsummer blossoms, nature lovers of all ages will delight in what this unique habitat has to offer. Also participating in the day’s activities will be the garden community stewards. Community organizations, school groups, and neighborhoods work with Master Gardener mentors to explore environmental stewardship practices through hands-on experience working an area of the habitat. The gardening sessions are always rewarding for all who steward the habitat within this lovely pastoral setting. T h i r t e e n years ago this old field habitat (agricultural weeds) had six resident species of butterflies. Today there are more than 30 resident species of butterflies and the garden has been enriched with more than 100 species of native plants serving as caterpillar hosts and providing nectar for the adult butterflies.

The Snetsinger Butterfly Garden has become a special place for the public and is visited by youth and school groups, garden clubs, photographers, researchers, and thousands of people of all ages each year. Join “Butterfly Bob” Snetsinger and the Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Centre County for a day of fun and adventure sharing the benefits and delights of pollinator friendly gardening while honoring Dr. Snetsinger for his special contribution to our community.

Several church members, headed by Dan Gensimore, organized a very successful fundraising event to help the Coursen family. They realized that many other people in the Penns Valley area were facing similar catastrophic financial crises, and that an ongoing charity could provide the assistance they needed. Thus, the HOPE Fund was born in the fall of 2008.

Since its inception, the HOPE Fund has collected and dispersed nearly $100,000 to more than 30 families in the Penns Valley area. Dan Gensimore and T.J. Coursen worked to establish the fund, and are president and vice president of the board. They and two other members of Grace UMC serve on the 11-member board, along with people from three other denominations. From the beginning, they have sought ways to involve people and organizations from the whole valley.

Preventing Gardening Injuries

By Elaine F. Barch PT, DPT, CHT, CEAS PSU Master Gardener intern

Gardening and yard work are part of a healthful, active lifestyle. With a little planning and forethought most gardening injuries can be prevented. Many people underestimate the time it will take to complete projects and try to squeeze too much work out of their under-prepared bodies. Repetitive strain injuries are the most common injuries sustained while gardening. Flexibility, strength, and endurance are the keys to avoiding injury. Along with preparing a gardening project plan, prepare your body for the task and spend time staging the project with a realistic timetable to allow your body to rebound after use.

The following are tips to cut down on stresses to various parts of your body while gardening.

Hands and wrists and elbows: Avoid sustained tasks while using smaller muscles such as those in the hands and wrists; use a lighter grasp for short periods of time. ) Try to position your wrists in a neutral position (handshake) while working especially if you are digging in hard ground. ) Instead of using thumb-tip pinch (thumb tip to index finger tip), use your whole hand (grasp), or a key-type pinch (thumb pinching the side of your index finger) to cut down the stress at the most vulnerable joint in your hand at the base of your thumb. ) While carrying large pots, instead of grasping with your thumbs, rest the pot on one forearm and steady the pot with your other hand to transfer the work to larger muscles. ) Muscles are strongest in their midrange so keep your elbows bent when using your arms for activities that take strength. ) Use long-handled weeding tools to loosen weeds instead of grasping )

The parade featured numerous marching baton corps, several floats, antique tractors, fire permeated the air, as people stood about ten deep in line at fighting equipment from three counties, and lots more. Tons the French fry stand. These were REAL French fries, hand of candy was dispersed to parade watchers along the route, cut with the skins still on the potatoes. Mmmm, good stuff!

No wonder the line was long! and I even got a Frisbee – Woo-Hoo! I ran into three of my high school classmates there, and

The carnival opened following the parade, and quickly, we had a mini-reunion, where the main topic of conversation the grounds were filled with folks enjoying plenty of good was our pending retirement. Man, we’re getting old! food, games, and the bluegrass sounds of the Brush Mountain

Old, young, or in between, everyone at this event had a Band on the fire company stage. The band’s presence seemed good time enjoying the wonderful small-town tradition of fire especially appropriate for Rebersburg, which sits in the company carnivals, which support the volunteer fire fighters shadow of Brush Mountain. that serve us so well.

I’ve heard that carnivals like this are

Does anyone remember the penny pitch? You used to see them at carnivals and fairs back in the 1950s and ’60s, slowly disappearing across the land, due to lower profitability but I can’t recall seeing one for many years. The Rebersburg (perhaps the sagging economy), but they are alive and well in carnival had one, as well as a dime pitch, which sent many Penns Valley, and we hope they stay around for many years to come. It just wouldn’t seem like summer without firemen’s folks home with a stash of high quality glassware.

The food was great! The enticing aroma of French fries carnivals!

Back: ) When lifting, squat, bend your knees, and keep your back straight while keeping the load to be lifted as close to your body as possible ) Use large powerful muscles like your thighs and buttocks, not small back muscles. (If you bend at the waist to lift you are lifting half your body weight as well as your load.) ) Use long-handled tools as much as possible to avoid bending your back at your waist. ) Keep your work as close to you as possible. (Consider gardening in raised beds.) ) When lifting, tighten your belly muscles so your core (abdomen) is like a strong tube that is reinforced all the way around. ) Keep shoulders and hips in line with each other – do not twist your body especially if you are outside your base of support.

The Dreams Baton Corps came from Pleasant Gap.

Three restored Farmall’s in a row

Shoulders: ) Work with your hands no higher than your eyes, no lower than your belly, and no wider than your shoulders for optimum use. (Adjust the job to you by using a longer tool or by getting a step ladder.) ) Use both arms at once as much as possible. ) If you have to work outside the optimum space, limit the time you sustain the task.

Antique Allis-Chalmers tractor looked good in bright orange.

Customers tried their skills at the penny pitch.

Knees: )Use

long-handled tools when possible and work when the dirt is softer. (Moist dirt is easier to dig than dry compacted soil.) ) Consider using a soft pad to kneel on.

General ideas: ) Alternate

heavy tasks and light tasks. in the shade if possible. ) Use more trips with lighter loads. ) Pace your activities – a number-one strategy for arthritis sufferers. )Use the correct tool for the job. )Never work through pain. If you think you have injured something use ice to prevent further swelling. Most minor injuries resolve in three to 10 days. If an injury lasts for more than three weeks, see your doctor. ) Work

Jazz Festival Returns to Bellefonte

By Don Bedell

BELLEFONTE – The JazzPA Summer Jazz Celebration returns to downtown Bellefonte Friday and Saturday, July 22 and 23.

Music will be emanating from two outdoor stages and from several local establishments as well.

This is the seventh year for the festival which began as the “State College Jazz Festival” in 2005. The event that year was a one-day festival at the South Hills School Band Shell. Now, the event has expanded to two days on multiple stages showcasing local and national jazz talents.

The festival was founded by local saxophonist, the late Joe Allessandro, and was started by Catherine Dupuis. Dupuis is a State High graduate who is now a professional jazz vocalist in New York City. Each year, Dupuis returns to Centre County, along with some of her New York City jazz contemporaries for this one-of-a-kind festival.

This year’s featured artist will be Warren Vaché (see bio) joined by Russ Kassoff, Jay Anderson and Dennis Mackrel at a Saturday evening performance at the American

Philatelic Society at the Match Factory.

Vaché will also give a Master Class from the High Street stage on Saturday afternoon.

Dupuis will perform again with The Friends Band on Saturday afternoon from the High Street stage. New York jazz musicians Kassoff, Anderson, and Mackrel will join local musicians for this show.

In addition to a stage set up on High Street (just above the intersection of Spring Street), music can also be enjoyed at the Tallyrand Park Gazebo.

Various high school and student bands will perform, plus other local jazz and blues groups.

Most events are free except for the concerts at the American Philatelic Society.

CDs from the featured artists will also be on sale throughout the day at the JazzPA Information tables in Tallyrand Park and at the High Street stage.

The Gazette is proud, once again, to be a media sponsor of this wonderful event!

Warren Vaché is a supremely accomplished, versatile and rare performer. He has been astounding audiences worldwide for decades with his superb cornet, trumpet and flugelhorn stylings. Through live performances and recordings, along with stage, screen, radio and television appearances, Warren conveys incredible warmth through his burnished tone and intelligent improvisations. He has performed and recorded with such luminaries as Benny Goodman, Rosemary Clooney, Benny Carter, Hank Jones, Gerry Mulligan, Woody Herman and Bobby Short, among others. He can also be found in the company of such leading contemporaries as Phil Woods, Jon Faddis, Howard Alden, Bill Charlap, Harry Allen and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra: the list is a virtual “ W h o ’ s who” in Jazz, spanning every style in the history of the music.

Clifford Brown, Blue Mitchell and Billy Butterfield - from this group of extraordinary musicians, among others, Warren has coalesced his own inimitable style that defies categorization. Pianist and composer Jim McNeely was heard to say: “Every chorus he plays is like a lesson in the history of the trumpet.”

A guest artist on countless record dates, Warren has recorded over 35 albums under his own name including the award winning “2gether” with Bill Charlap (Nagel-Heyer); and his latest “Don’t Look Back” with the Scottish Ensemble (Arbors).

As a charter member of the Juilliard Program for Jazz Studies, Warren offers the breadth of his experience in the arts which includes acting, performing and music direction for the film by Frank Gilroy The Gig, on stage appearances in Dr. Jazz and music direction for the Richard Burton-Elizabeth Taylor revival of Private Lives. Warren composed and performed the film score for The Luckiest Man In The World and has performed on the soundtrack for numerous films including Money Pays, Biloxi Blues, Simon and The Dain Curse. He also trained actor Richard Geer to play trumpet for his role in the movie The Cotton Club. www. warrenvache.com Russ Kassoff is an accomplished jazz pianist, conductor, composer, orchestrator, and arranger, whose varied talents are much valued and on display in the music world.

In addition to Sinatra, Russ has longstanding associations with Liza Minnelli, Rita Moreno, Debbie Gravitte, Bucky Pizzarelli and Chris Connor among

“I never thought that I would be painting again” Brookline resident and amateur watercolor artist, John Padula hadn’t thought about painting in years; but a watercolor class at The Inn reunited him with his love of the art.

“I’ve even picked up techniques I didn’t know before. It’s wonderful!”

Residents of PineCastle and The Inn at Brookline are some of the busiest people around. Whether trying your hand at painting—like John— or taking in a symphony performance with friends, there’s always plenty to do and so much to share.

Bellefonte Hammers Busch Nabs First Philipsburg to Claim District 5 Kentucky Win Title Sectional Tournament to Begin this Weekend in Camp Hill

By Les Barnhart

The dream of playing in the Little League World Series in Williamsport is still alive for the Bellefonte 11-12 year old all-star team.

While the three game series to determine the District 5 title didn’t start off the way that the team clad in red may have wanted, it certainly ended in a way that would make Babe Ruth smile.

In the first game, Philipsburg’s Logan Williamson pitched his team to a 6-0 win by tossing a no-hitter in front of his home crowd. While it may have disheartened most teams, Bellefonte showed in the second and third games of the series that they aren’t one of those teams as they brought the lumber with them in winning the next two games by a combined score of 24-7.

The second game saw the tables turn as the series returned to Bellefonte. Joey Dellaquilla silenced the Philipsburg bats, allowing just one hit while striking out five in four innings. He would have pitched more but he didn’t have that option as Dylan Crunick and the other Bellefonte hitters scored runs in bunches and ended the game in the fourth inning due to the mercy rule, 10-0, after Crunick drilled a three-run walk off home run.

With the series tied, the teams headed back to Philipsburg for a third and final game. It would be a game that saw the teams hit a combined 29 hits and eight home runs with Bellefonte collecting 15 of the hits and six of the home runs. Bellefonte wasted no time in opening a 3-0 lead in the first but saw

Philipsburg strike for four runs in the bottom of the second off of starter Crunick to take the lead.

Crunick would help himself in the top of the third but stroking his first of two home runs in the game. This one was a solo shot and tied that game at 4-4. Greg Watson followed suit when he connected on a solo home run with two outs in the inning to put Bellefonte back out in front, 5-4.

The biggest blow of the game came in the top of the fourth when three straight batters reached. Alex Horner started it with a walk followed by singles by Hunter Homan and Jon Kerschner to load the bases. Crunick cleared the bases with his second home run of the game and third in two games. Ethan Corman added to the lead with an inside-thepark home run before Watson hit his second home run of the game to build a 11-4 lead.

The fifth inning would see Bellefonte score and again it would come via the long ball as Evan Wincek got into the act with a solo home run. Philipsburg would pick up a run in the fifth inning on a home run to cut the score to 12-5. Bellefonte would add two more insurance runs in the sixth inning before another Philipsburg home run, a two-run shot from Williamson ended the scoring at 14-7.

With the win, Bellefonte advanced to the Regional tournament where they begin play on Saturday, July 16th in Camp Hill.

The Gazette wishes the team all the best in the tournament.

State College Little League Softball Advances to State Tournament

By Les Barnhart

While the words “Little League” will conjure up thoughts of baseball for many people, it’s the softball side of Little League that has State College’s 11-12 year old team looking for a state championship and more.

The team recently claimed the Section 4 title to earn a berth in a tournament that will showcase the best softball that Pennsylvania has to offer in the Little League organization.

State College is a feisty team that while talented also has shown they have heart.

That was on display in the District 5 tournament when they opened with an 8-6 loss to the heavily favored Mifflin County. They bounced back with a 16-6 win over Bald Eagle Area in the consolation bracket to set up a rematch with Mifflin County, needing to defeat them twice to claim the championship. On the road at Mifflin County for the first game, the girls prevailed 8-5 to send the series back to State College for the decisive second game. In that second game, State

College got another great pitching performance from Hannah Shields as she posted a 4-0 shutout to win the District 5 title.

With that win serving as momentum, the girls advanced to the Section 4 tournament which was hosted by Mifflin County.

They opened with a dominant 14-4 win over Marion Center. Marion Center, one of three teams in the tournament, would again defeat Mount Union as they had to open the tournament. That gave Marion Center another shot at State College in the finals, needing to win twice to claim the title.

A second game would not be needed as State College made the best of their three hits in a game that only had four hits combined to post a 4-1 win to secure the championship and advance to the state tournament. Shields was again on the mound for the win in the championship and was again dominant in the circle as she fired a one-hitter while striking out 10.

Bald Eagle Area Little League Softball Meeting The Bald Eagle Area Little League Softball will be holding their regular monthly meeting on SUNDAY, August 14th at the Bald Eagle Area High School cafeteria at 6PM. Regular monthly meetings are held the second Sunday of each month at the Bald Eagle Area High School.

This is an exciting new league and provides a new opportunity for the girls in the Bald Eagle Area School District. Please do what you can to be a part of the league.

Kyle Busch jumped out in front of Jimmie Johnson on the races final restart, and never looked back, winning the inaugural Sprint Cup race at the 1.5 mile Kentucky Motor Speedway. With the win, Busch leaped into the points lead. Along with the Sprint Cup victory, Busch captured the Truck race on Thursday. He now sits a 99 career wins across the sports three way series (Truck/ Nationwide/Spring Cup).

Rounding out the top five were David Reutimann, who got by Johnson in the race’s final three laps, Johnson, Ryan Newman

and Carl Edwards.

With just two months before the Series’ Chase for the Cup playoff, Busch leads Carl Edwards by just four points. They are followed by Kevin Harvick, Kyle’s brother Kurt Busch, Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhart Jr., Ryan Newman and Denny Hamlin. There will also be two Wild Cards to get into the Series playoff.

Bellefonte Defeats State College to Win Clearfield 9-10 Tournament

Penns Valley Residents Open Spikes Game Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

STATE COLLEGE – Several Penns Valley residents were involved in the opening activities at a State College Spikes baseball game on Sunday, July 10. The Spikes took on the Batavia Muckdogs, and left the stadium with an 8-7 win.

On the stadium concourse level, it was Fitness Day, and several fitness-related enterprises had set up displays which outlined their services to the public. Among the participants was TransFitness Personal Training of Spring Mills. TransFitness co-owner, Steve Snyder, was invited to throw out one of the first pitches at the game. When it was Steve’s turn, he wound up and delivered a glove-burning fast ball to the Spikes catcher! Well, I exaggerate a little, but it was a good pitch.

After the baseball teams’ starting lineups were introduced, The Penns Valley Men’s Chorus took their position behind home plate and sang the National Anthem to begin the game. This group, directed by Daniel Warntz, was formed in 1975 to lead the singing for the Centre County Sabbath School Program at the Grange Fair in Centre Hall. Over the years, interest has grown, and today they typically sing at about 30 events per year. Their members come from more than 14 churches in the area. Their harmonious, a cappella version of The Star-Spangled Banner was beautifully sung, and well received by the audience of baseball fans.

Congratulations to the Penns Valley Men’s chorus, and to TransFitness’s Steve Snyder for representing the Penns Valley area so well in their appearance at the Spikes game.

5th annual HERBIE’S HOME “TOWN LOOP” SATURDAY AUGUST 20th, 2011 Bellefonte Middle School, 100 N. School Street, Bellefonte PA

4 MILE RUN/WALK — 8:30 A.M. AND/OR

16 MILE (non-competitive) BIKE RIDE — 10:30 A.M. Jeremy Michael Herbstritt, a 1998 BAHS graduate, was pursuing a graduate degree in Civil Engineering at Virginia Tech when a lone gunman took his life on April 16th, 2007.

Jeremy was a hardworking, ambitious young man with a unique passion for life. He loved life and was full of it. He had a passion for running marathons and other long distance races. He enjoyed nature, kayaking down the Bald Eagle and Juniata Rivers, camping, planting a yearly vegetable garden, studying engineering, teaching, eating “fire in the hole chicken” wings from Bonfatto’s and hot fudge sundaes from the Twin Kiss. He was proud of his family and friends and enjoyed spending time with them and boasting about their accomplishments. Jeremy was certainly talkative. There was never an awkward silence when he was around. He was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. He was always willing to lend a helping hand. If you needed a ride somewhere or a friend to talk to, you could count on him. You would never hear Jeremy complain or make fun of those less fortunate than him. He treated others with respect and dignity. He was a true Christian; not someone who simply attended church on Sundays. He was true to himself and others and certainly someone we all should aspire to be like.

RUN AWARDS: -Overall Top Male & Top Female;

-Awards to top three in the following

Male & Female Age Groups:

(Jeremy’s age group) AMENITIES: T-shirts guaranteed to first 200 and race day (while they last); refreshments, time clock at finish, mile splits, water stops, entertainment, kids’ activities, door prizes & raffle, fun family oriented event, Bellefonte Arts Festival nearby. **BIKE HELMETS REQUIRED & MUST BE PROPERLY SECURED AT ALL TIMES DURING THE RIDE! “For and in consideration of permitting my child and/or ward to participate in Herbie’s Home “Town Loop” run and/or walk and/or watercraft and events, I hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the District, its Board, administrators, employees, agents, the race organizers and directors, the Bellefonte Borough, Spring Township and all other organizations directly or indirectly associated in any way with this race from and against any loss or expense, to include reasonable attorney fees, arising out of my child’s and/or ward’s participation therein.”

Jeremy attended Penn State after high school, obtaining a B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with a minor in Chemistry in 2003. In 2004, he returned to PSU to pursue a second B.S. in Civil Engineering. He graduated with honors and went on to Virginia Tech in 2006 with the intention of pursuing an M.S. and PhD. in Civil Engineering. While at Virginia Tech, he worked as a teaching assistant and conducted valuable research on dams in the Roanoke River.

Danny Warntz directed the Penns Valley Men’s Chorus in a great performance of the National Anthem.

Jeremy’s dreams were shattered on the cool, rainy morning of April 16th. He had intentions that year of finishing a research project he had already started. He had also planned on attending his youngest sister’s high school graduation, going on many weekend kayak and camping trips, attending two good friends’ weddings, persuading his younger brother to major in engineering and running another marathon with his oldest sister. Those dreams were shattered; Jeremy was robbed of the opportunity to become an engineering professor, get married, start a family and to meet his nieces and nephews. We hope that each of you will learn from Jeremy’s example, help us to continue his legacy, and help make this world a better, safer place. We ask each of you to keep his spirit alive through the energy and passion of your daily activities.

We have planned a 4 mile run/walk to begin at 8:30 a.m. and a 16 mile (non-competitive) bike ride at 10:30 a.m. along with fun, family oriented activities that will start and end at the Bellefonte Area Middle School. The 4 mile run/walk course chosen was a route Jeremy traversed frequently through Bellefonte, training for marathons, sharing his passion with his family and simply enjoying the outdoors. We hope to make it an annual event and chose Bellefonte Arts Festival weekend as an added attraction that would benefit both events.

Results from Tournament held at The State College Elks Country Club

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.

Please feel free to contact me at my email address: sports@centrecountygazette.com regarding your sports story as well as a phone number where you can be reached if needed. You can also post your ideas for a story or a recap of your game on the Centre County Sports page on Facebook.

In order to make the Centre County Gazette the paper of the people, I need you, the people to provide the best sports coverage around.

Good luck to all you in your respective sports. Hopefully I will run into you at a sporting event sometime and it will be you I will be covering.

Buddy Holly Comes Alive at Millbrook

Buddy Holly only spent about 18 months as a rock and roll star when, in 1959, he was killed at the age of 22 in a plane crash. His influence has been strong enough that a tribute album has been released this summer and the play The Buddy Holly Story is drawing crowds of rock and roll fans to Millbrook Playhouse.

The story is the old, fairly trite I-want- to- play-my- owntype- of- music- even- if- people- are- not- ready- for- it and, of course, we all know how the story will end. But take heart, this show is all about the music.

James David Larson is Buddy Holly, the slightly nerdy guy with big, black-rimmed glasses and a bigger voice. Larson was a wonderful surprise. He carried the show, the music and the attitude to perfection. His energy was amazing.

That is not to say that the people around him were not equally as impressive. His backup band may not get the individual attention that the “headliners” will receive, but they were good. Drew Bastian and Ryan Denardo deserve a lot of credit, even if their music was a tad better than their acting.

Dan Neufer has a whole career in front of him as The Big Bopper; he doesn’t ever have to play any other part. He walks on stage and I thought, “OK, he looks the part, but

JULY 15, 2011

he’ll never hit the role.” I am very glad to say that I was so wrong. He rocked!

A n t o l y Rodriguez also was right on as Ritchie Valens.

I can personally attest to the fact that he could shake his booty with the best of them. (I had a The Buddy Holly Story runs through Sunday, July 17 at the Millbrook Playhouse. front row seat!).

The thing that I love about following any theatre through a season is getting a chance to see individuals in a wide range of roles.

James David Larson has already shown his versatility in Annie and Buddy. We will get to see yet another side of him in Spelling Bee later this summer.

This is true for so many of the ensemble. One week we see an individual in a walk- on role and the next show has him or her playing a lead. The Buddy Holly Story gives a bunch of these young people a chance to showcase their talents.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee will be on the Main Stage starting July 21 and The Mousetrap started July 14 in the Cabaret. Show time is 7:30 p.m. and adult tickets are $20.

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.
