The heat is on! Boy, is it ever! My greatest fear had been about the violent storms that usually soak the arts festivals, but I should have wished for cool breezes as well. This past week’s weather reminded me of why I moved back home after living in central Florida for 13 years! The superheat didn’t stop tens of thousands of visitors from flocking to the Central PA Festival of the Arts and People’s Choice Festival of Pennsylvania Arts & Crafts. Misters, hoses, pools, cold drinks, and ducking into air-conditioned stores helped folks stay cool enough to attend the festivals in record numbers. I was pleased to have six reporters and photographers roaming with the happy crowds. Sam Stitzer and Karen Dabney took in the Boalsburg fest; Ebun Adewumi, Tiffany Woodall, and Brian Baney wandered the streets of State College. Don Bedell attended both, and as a musician, attended many free concerts. You’ll see their observations, comments, and experiences inside. And, yes, there were other things happening last week besides the arts festivals. Sam attended a huge horse show, marking the debut of a new indoor arena at the Grange Fairgrounds. Pat Park attended two excellent plays – at Millbrook Playhouse and the Boal Barn. Jasmine Suarez reported on the rain gardens that are being constructed at Beaver and Allen as you read this. You’ve been invited to an African drumming event at Schlow on Wednesday and to the JazzPA Summer Festival in Bellefonte this weekend. WWII veterans and collectors are welcomed to a Fly In commemorating the 70th anniversary of that great conflict. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! The Last Cruise and Best of the Best vehicle show is coming up on July 30. The summer fun never ends in Happy Valley! There are good deeds galore, including charitable donations by Downtown Rotary, an Elks scholarship, and a large grant for emergency relief secured by the United Way. There’s always music in the air. Listen for weekly outdoor concerts in Bellefonte, State College, Lemont, Milesburg, and elsewhere around the county. As always, Les and Matt have plenty of sports news this week. This marks the first of our This or That? weekly preference poll on our Web site. Visit www.centrecountygazette.com and click on the This or That? logo on the bottom left side of our home page and mark your choice. Send me your suggestions if you’d like to get some local rivalries going – like Rotary or Kiwanis? Red Raiders or Little Lions? Creamery or Meyer Dairy? This week’s choice is Pirates or Phillies? Stay cool, stay caring, stay thankful. It won’t be long until the last lightening bug blinks off, the last ear of corn is devoured, and the last rose drops its petals. Take a little time to enjoy this beautiful summer with your friends and family. We include many ways to do that in each and every issue.

Centre Count y Schools Engle Earns Eagle Ranking The scouts, leaders and members of the Boy Scout Troop 88 Committee take great pleasure in announcing that having completed the requirements for and having been examined by an Eagle Scout Board of Review on December 26, 2010, Nickelaus Ryan Engle was found worthy of the rank of Eagle Scout. For his Eagle Scout project, Nick designed and created a school mascot mural that is now on display in his school’s gymnasium at Penns Valley Area Senior High School. The project required coordinating the efforts of more than 35 classmates who logged in over 150 man hours. The mural was introduced to the community at an event honoring the seniors of Penns Valley’s Boys Varsity Basketball team, of which Nick was a member. Nick graduated with high honors for both for his academic and artistic talents from Penns Valley Area High School on June 10. He will be continuing his education at Humboldt State University in Arcata, California, where he will major in Environmental Resource Engineering. Nick was presented his Eagle Award at his Eagle Scout Court of Honor on Sunday, July 10 at the Seven Mountains Scout Camp in Spring Mills, Pennsylvania. Along with his parents, Mark and Cyndy Engle of Millheim, guests included State Representative Kerry Benninghoff (171st District), Centre County Commissioner Steven Dershem, Sheriff Denny Nau, Dave Immel of the Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks (Lodge 1600), Carol Clark-Baney of the American Legion Keystone Post 444, and Jack Oakes of the Nittany Leathernecks Detachment #302.
Nick also introduced and honored his mentor, Elody Gyekis, who taught Nick about the value of community mural projects when they first worked together on the Millheim town mural in 2008. Excerpts from Nick’s Scout comments, delivered at the Eagle Court of Honor: “Scouting truly is a brotherhood...as I become older and more comfortable within my leadership roles it then becomes fatherhood...Scouting truly is a developmental process that takes boys and turns them into men...So if scouting truly is more of a brotherhood / fatherhood, my accomplishments are nothing more than all of our accomplishments. I would’ve never become an Eagle Scout without role models such as Cody Blazer or Scoutmasters like Gary Hansen and Don Ross. I would’ve never made it through scouting without fathers like my dad or brothers like Nicky, Ben, Zach and Max. And I wouldn’t have wanted to leave the troop any other way except in the hands of new leaders and scouts such as Bob Fox and Eric Long. “I personally achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, but my troop and family earned it. The Eagle Scout Award and all its glory doesn’t belong to me, it belongs to everyone who made it possible for me. So I thank anyone and everyone who passed me along my pathway to Eagle. I am truly happy I was able to begin, enjoy and conclude this adventure with all of you and now it’s time for me to pass it on. Now it’s time for me to let my brothers take charge of the troop and grow into their own skin.”

BUSINESS BRIEF Do You Have “Hidden� Treasure?
Affordable Housing Townhomes Grand Opening BELLEFONTE – On July 20, representatives of the development team, public officials, and affordable housing advocates celebrated the grand opening of Beaver Heights Townhomes at Beaver Farm Lane, off of Bishop Street in Bellefonte. The development brings an additional 40 affordable housing units to residents of Centre County. Developed by the Centre County Housing Authority and S & A Homes, Beaver Heights provides two-, three-, and four-bedroom townhouse units for families whose median income is less than 60 percent of the area’s median income. Funding was through the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, via American Recovery Act Exchange Funds and the Tax Credit Assistance Program. Randy Holderman, executive director
of the Housing Authority, said, “This project kept people employed while creating jobs, we had over 300 people working on this site and frankly, many of them would not have had a job last year without Beaver Heights.� Beaver Heights rents range from $121 to $687 per month. The units range from 1,000 to 1,500 square feet. A community building will be developed providing common laundry and meeting space. It was developed by a team of local and Pennsylvania firms, such as Penn Terra Engineering, Lefevre Funk Architects, Poole Anderson Construction, and both the Housing Authority and S & A Homes. State Senator Jake Corman and State Representative Kerry Benninghoff supported the development as their continued efforts to promote economic development for the community.
Sleep Inn Has New Look STATE COLLEGE – The newly-renovated Sleep Inn hotel, at 111 Village Drive in State College, now has a new look! The Sleep Inn brand is franchised by Choice Hotels International, Inc. As a newly renovated Sleep Inn, the property features a new design and refreshed style. The design provides a simply stylish and reliable experience that leaves guests feeling well rested. Among some of the design highlights that are featured within the new hotel include: A new lobby design with warm, natural finishes, unique lighting features, and graphic accent wall. • Guestrooms with accent walls, media
boards with flat screen TVs, sleek furniture lines, leaning mirrors, striking zebra-patterned wood finishes, stylish and comfortable bedding, and eye-catching collages of black and white photography. • Spa-like baths feature chic freestanding vanities, modern wall sconces, accent walls, walk-in showers, and bamboo-like tiles. Owned and operated by HFL Corporation, the newly renovated Sleep Inn features 100 newly decorated guestrooms with amenities including 37-inch flat-screen televisions, microwaves, refrigerators and coffee makers. The hotel offers a complimentary deluxe continental breakfast, free high-speed Internet access, and a business center.
STATE COLLEGE – You’ve heard of it happening to someone else – a long-forgotten stamp collection fetches $500, a ring found with a metal detector brings $6,000, or a funny looking old coin turns out to be worth $12,000. It’s happened to the customers of The Keystone State Buyers, coming to State College next month. Stan Brown and Mike Bromwell invite you to bring in your old collectibles, jewelry, old coins and currency, scrap gold or platinum, watches, and small antiques for an
Bear with me. We are about to discuss a book by Neil Gaiman. Critics have used words like droll, original, and audacious to describe Gaiman’s work. I agree with all of that, plus, his plots defy summaries. Anansi Boys is Fat Charlie’s story. Charlie Nancy is engaged to a young lady whose mother cannot stand him; works for the worst boss imaginable, and is not fat. His life is about to change drastically. Fat Charlie’s father had named him Fat 20 years ago and when Fat Charlie’s father named something it stuck. In fact Mr. Nancy had made a habit of doing things that were an embarrassment

appraisal for instant cash. “People don’t want the trouble of finding and going to specific auctions,� Brown said. “Our event gives them a quick and easy way to turn collectibles into cash – which we sell to our worldwide network of dealers, collections, and auction houses.� They will be at Comfort Suites on Friday, August 12 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. No appointment necessary.

to his son over the years. Even his death was in many ways an embarrassment; he fell off a stage while singing at a karaoke night. At the funeral, Fat Charlie learns that his father was actually the trickster god Anansi, the spider god. He also learns, to his surprise, that to summon the brother, that he knew nothing about, all he has to do is ask a spider. The tall, good-looking stranger who appears on his doorstep is nothing like Fat Charlie; he is more like their father. Brother Spider is the very spirit of rebellion. He is able to turn reality to his own whims and he is determined to add some fun to Fat Charlie’s life. He adds a body in a secret safe, trips to other worlds, birds worthy of a Hitchcock film, magic,
and a lost girlfriend. Then the plot gets out of control. Anansi Boys takes the old trickster tales – think Bre’r Rabbit and the Tar Baby – and adds some very modern twists. You will never see spiders in the same way. Neil Gaiman may not be the author for everybody, but if you are willing to suspend your sense of reality, he is a fun author. As outrageous as his characters are, you still like them and want to see them turn out well. Sometimes it takes awhile to be aware of some serious comments hidden in his humor. Gaiman is a true original, worthy to be compared with Douglas Adams and P. G. Wodehouse.

Play Ball!
I have four greyhounds and they take their retirement from racing very seriously, lying around for 23 hours a day just waiting for their next meal. The fastest they move is from the couch to their bowls twice a day. Greyhounds don’t typically play with balls, and they just watch them go by with disdain when I throw them. I find myself chasing the ball and trying to get the dogs interested in it. I’m winded and sweating and the dogs are just watching me perform stupid human tricks (in their eyes). Except for Pinky. She is my tiny blue greyhound who hates men in hats but loves a good chase. When I first got her, she knew nothing about balls but she seemed interested in playing so I decided to teach her how to fetch. My efforts turned into a fun chase game (for her). And, it wasn’t enough that she got the ball – she would run toward the other dogs as if trying to get their attention, ball held high in her mouth like an Olympic prize. So how do I properly get her to bring a ball back and then actually give it to me? Turns out, it’s pretty easy! According to Patricia McConnell, my dog behavior hero and author of The Other End of the Leash, it helps to understand that dogs are just trying to teach you to play their game while you’re trying to teach them yours. Who ends up training

whom first depends on you. Keep in mind that dogs are natural animal trainers, while humans aren’t, so you better be alert when you start trying to teach “fetch� to your new dog. Just a couple of rules will make it a lot easier. If you have a young dog, start by throwing the ball only a short distance away. If you throw it too far, the dog won’t be able to stay focused on it. Don’t throw it very often at first either; just two or three times is enough. Stop before she loses interest in the game. After you throw the ball, wait until she has her mouth on it. Once she does, move away from the ball, clapping and smooching to attract her in your direction. If you walk toward her, you have initiated the chase game, with her in charge. She has the ball, she has your attention, and you’re following her. She will run from you. Turn so that you are facing away from her, clap, smooch, and take some steps away from her so that she’ll follow you. Now you get to be “it� and if you’re lucky, she’ll come all the way to you and drop the ball. More likely, though, she’ll come toward you a few steps and drop the ball a few feet from you. Or, she’ll drop the ball and come to you without it. Another variation on that is to run toward you and then veer off to the other side of the yard. Shape her behavior, so that you get evolutions of the behavior you want. For example, if she comes forward and drops the ball, that’s OK. Walk slowly up to it and throw it again. If she wants to continue the game, she’ll watch carefully and then go get the ball. It won’t be long and she’ll realize that bringing it back keeps you engaged and the game going. You could also throw
a second ball as soon as she drops the first, but next time, try to get her to come a little closer to you by running actively away from her as she approaches. Gradually she’ll come closer and closer. If I run from her, Pinky will actually chase me and push the ball into the back of my legs until I pay attention to her. She’s also been known to nip me in the butt if I don’t comply with her game. Ouch! But what if she brings the ball but won’t let you have it? Don’t pry her mouth open or get angry. Just like children, dogs need to learn that they won’t lose in the long run by giving up the ball, and you’re the one who needs to teach her that. You could bribe her with a treat so she gives you the ball, or you could just wait her out. First and foremost, be sure that whenever she does give it up, you throw it back instantly. Don’t praise her; she doesn’t want your praise, she wants the ball. Give it back to her, quickly. Above all else, remember that it’s no fun to have the ball unless your play partner wants it too. If your dog just won’t stop teasing you with the ball, look away, and pay no more attention to her. Turn and go into the house. It works! Just remember to throw the ball back right away when the dog gives it to you. It won’t be long and your dog will become a world-class fetcher!

Roots of Life: African Work on Routes 26/220/I-99 near Bellefonte Drumming & Dance at Schlow Causing Delays By Wendy Klimeck
STATE COLLEGE – The lively African drumming and dance group, Roots of Life, will give an exciting, vibrant performance at Schlow Centre Region Library on Wednesday, July 27th at 7 p.m. As part of the fun, audience members will be invited to join the action as they learn the steps of a traditional African dance. Founded by Penn State Assistant Professor of Dance Kikora Franklin in autumn 2010, Roots of Life is a performing arts ensemble of middle- and high-school students from the State College Area School District. Franklin’s passion for dance, evident in her work educating Penn State students in a variety of dance forms, also inspires her teaching of traditional African dance to State College Area District students from third-graders up to high school seniors. The creation of a “master� class with about 25 young students has enabled Franklin to work more intensely with this small group, creating productions for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, International Children’s Festival, and other schools in the district. Roots of Life offers a memorable evening of music, creativity, and movement for the whole family! The performance will take place in Schlow’s Downsbrough Community Room and is part of Schlow’s Adult Summer Reading Program: Novel Destinations.

A YOUNG WOMAN’S INSPIRATION: The Ultimate Home Goods Store
JULY 25 – JULY 28
By Tiffany Woodall
STATE COLLEGE – If there’s one thing I learned from perusing the streets of Arts Fest 2011 it’s this: I’ll be using these artists’ work to furnish and decorate my future home. With wall décor, furniture, vases, office adornments, kitchen utensils, garden accessories, and creative textiles, I can gather everything I need to complete an interior makeover. I’d start by purchasing one of Karyn Debrasky’s mixed 2D media designs. Debrasky— a local artist from Bellefonte—uses paper, beads, and other supplies to style colorful, eye-popping wall art. The piece that initially drew me into her tent was a paper-and-bead creation comprising yellows, oranges, and reds that looked like sunset inside a frame. Next on the list would be a clock, and at Arts Fest there’s no shortage of time-tellers. For the basement that I envision as an entertainment area (bar included), I would choose from the funky collection of retro-inspired metal designs by “STEVO” from Atlanta, Georgia. For the family room or kitchen, however, I’d choose a warmer design (the artist of which escapes me) that incorporate feel-good quotes about family and wine. Both would be unique
and a definite talking point in my home. One of the most important purchases would probably be the kitchen collection. There are several talented potters with eclectic dishes to choose from. Who needs Pfaltzgraff when you’ve got Arts Fest? My Penn State pride might lead me toward the navy blue pottery collection stamped with white paw prints, whereas my taste for uniqueness might point me toward textured dishes of various colors. Either way, I’d complement my collection of choice with a set of wooden utensils, carved to cooking perfection. I might even spice things up by adding a melted glass wine bottle turned cutting board. The possibilities are endless! My makeover wouldn’t be complete without furniture, so I’d be certain to buy a few hand-crafted feature pieces. Foreseeing a baby or two in my future, I would be wise to pick out a rocking chair, preferably stained wood, built for comfort. Stools would be a classic addition to the basement bar, just as a coffee table would be a beautiful focal point within the living room. Note to self: bring a truck!
Recycling at Special Events By Amy Schirf, Centre County Solid Waste Authority
Summer is here and full of outdoor fairs, festivals, and other entertaining events which will be full of rides, music, food, drinks, and fun. How about adding recycling into the mix? Setting up special event recycling is quite a relatively painless task. For those involved in an upcoming special event in Centre County or part of planning such an event, I’d like to let you know that incorporating recycling into the mix is as easy as 1-2-3. 1. Contact the Centre County Solid Waste Authority to request special-event recycling containers and to schedule a pick-up time to obtain the bins. 2. Set up the containers at your event to collect desired recyclables. 3. Empty the recyclables at one of the authority’s area drop-off recycling bins and bring the containers back to us – or keep them if you plan to reuse them! It really is as easy as that and there is no charge to borrow and use the special-event containers. Plus, the patrons attending the events will be pleased to see the containers are available for their use and will not have to trek empty bottles and cans home with them.

Art for Everyone at the 2011 People’s Choice Festival Article & most photos by Karen Dabney
BOALSBURG – Before “buying local” became a popular movement, the People’s Choice Festival at the Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg focused exclusively on the promotion of Pennsylvania arts and crafts. Now in its 19th year, the festival showcased the work of more than 160 Pennsylvania artisans from July 14 to 17, and drew more than 60,000 art lovers. Donna Lucas of Lucas Collectables in Waterford has made elaborately costumed dolls from wooden clothespegs for more than 20 years, and has been a People’s Choice artist for 17 years. Each doll is personalized with its own name. Lucas hand-paints their faces, and uses her skill as a licensed hairdresser to style their yarn hair. The arms, legs, and hips are jointed, giving them a surprising range of motion. Lucas said, “I love coming to this show because people have so much interest in my dolls and want to know how they’re made. I design a new doll every year, and people have been collecting them since day one.” Rather than following a single traditional craft, Tim Roth of Pottery and Cane in Greensburg decided to combine three crafts into a single art form. As a teen, he learned caning when he helped his mother replace a rattan caned seat on a chair then learned ceramics and photography as a college student. Later, inspired by his son’s mixed-media statue of ceramics and wood, he “tried combining caning and ceramics, and they went well together.” Roth said the neutral color of the caning looked good with any color, and his ceramic serving trays with caned interiors were lightweight. He used a variety of methods to decorate the ceramic medallions in the centers of the caned interiors, including a gum-bichromate photographic process that dated from the early 1900s. “It does evolve. I’m trying different things.” Neil Gruber of F & S Imagery, based in Ephrata and Lemoyne, displayed framed photographs of Middletown’s Star Barn and other familiar Central Pennsylvania landmarks, atmospheric black-and-white photographs of trains, and images of Europe. Gruber co-owned the business with his son, Matt. “I have stories for all these pictures,” he said. “My photo, Lookout Studio Grand Canyon, won first place in the photography division of the Lancaster County Art Association National Juried Show.” Cynthia Hamady of Sidman created Ukrainian eggs, also known as Pysanky from the Ukrainian verb for “to

write.” The intricate, colorful designs were made by repeated cycles of dying the eggs then drawing wax lines where the artist wanted to retain the color. Hamady said, “Ukrainian girls would write their wishes on the eggs for the coming year for each individual they gave them to, using symbols and colors.” This folk art was part of Hamady’s Slovak heritage. Her great aunt made Pysanky, which inspired Hamady and her sister to learn it from library books. “This is my relaxation from my day job,” she said. Based near New Hope, Lisa Schwartz described her ICIS Jewelry as romantic and whimsical, inspired by nature and gardens. “I’m known for my dragonflies, butterflies, and floral necklaces.” Her patriotic Liberty Bar pin was selected by Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State, for inclusion in her book, Read My Pins. According to Schwartz’s website, she received a White House commission, and her work is in the private collections of several popular stars. Schwartz uses a special enameling process on her brass and copper jewelry to create delicate, translucent colors. She ornaments the enameled metal with pearls, rhinestones, crystals, and beads of metal, glass, and wood. “I have a degree in illustration,” she said. “So for me, this is illustrating in three dimensions.” For her Off Loom Beadweaving jewelry and ornaments, Barb Talijan of Bethlehem uses a needle and nylon thread “to lock beads in place.” She incorporates colorful beads and traditional stitches from all over the world in her work, including an open netting Russian stitch, hexagonal netting from Africa, and stitches from Denmark and Japan. “I have a lot of fun doing it,” she said. Jared Iampietro and Jeff Ammon create tiny landscapes with living plants for their company, Mountainscapes, in Hesston, Huntington County. Inspired by Ammon’s background in landscaping, they arrange miniature and dwarf plants in handcrafted containers of Hypertufa, a porous, lightweight concrete, to create charming mini-gardens approximately two-feet wide. Iampietro said the Mountainscape garden plants require cold winters, so should be kept outdoors. “They are relatively easy, and just need water. These are great for urban gardeners and the handicapped.” Roland Paronish, of Roland Metal Art in Carrolltown, delighted festival goers with his large metal sculptures of animals and aliens, and his humorous steel Nail People,

constructed from railroad spikes. The Nail People portrayed a wide range of human professions, hobbies, family life, including comedic versions of hangovers and other misadventures. The People’s Choice Festival featured art for everyone, created by Pennsylvania craftspeople and artists working in a broad range of media, from leather and basketry to painting and broom-making. The festival provided an excellent opportunity to “buy local.” See more of Karen’s photos from The People’s Choice Festival on our Facebook page.

New Equine Arena Opens in Centre Hall Article & photos by Sam Stitzer
CENTRE HALL – “A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!,” said King Richard III in one of Shakespeare’s famous plays. If the king had dropped by the Grange Fair grounds outside of Centre Hall last week, he would have had no trouble finding a horse! There were 634 of them competing in one of the largest horse shows in the northeastern United States. According to show manager, Rick Shiffler, of the America Quarter Horse Association, there were actually three shows going on simultaneously in Centre Hall, sponsored by The Pennsylvania Quarter Horse Association, the Pennsylvania Youth Quarter Horse Association, and the American Quarter Horse Association, which was holding its Region Five Championships there. Region Five includes the states of New York, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Additionally, competitors from North Carolina, Ohio, Connecticut, and even Canada were in attendance. The show ran for five days, from July 13 through July 17. The main attraction for these equestrians was the brand new indoor arena on the grounds. This structure houses an unobstructed 150’ x 300’ (45,000 square feet) arena, and will have bleachers for more than 500 spectators. The building is not quite completed, but was offered for use for the first time at this show. Grange Fair General Manager, Darlene Confer, said the arena was funded with a $1 million state Redevelopment Assistance Capital grant. Senator Jake Corman was instrumental in attaining the grant money. Construction began in April and is expected to be completed by the end of July. A dedication ceremony for the new arena will be scheduled in the near future. Equestrians at this event competed in several categories
in three outdoor arenas, and the jumping competition was the inaugural event in the new indoor arena. The facility is booked through this summer and fall with shows, and next year, the arena’s schedule from April through October is already filled! This is good news for Darlene Confer and the fair committee. They want to keep this area busy to help pay the bills incurred by the grounds. Water, electricity, sewer, and other bills for this facility are not cheap! Grange Fair officials believe the facility will gain a reputation as a premier equine arena in the state, and allow them to attract more and larger events to the area, giving a boost to the local economy. The Pennsylvania Quarter Horse Association officials have decided to make it their organization’s exclusive show grounds. In addition to equine events, the arena will also be used for dog shows, and similar events.

Festival Week – Now, That’s Entertainment! By Don Bedell
Another Festival Week has come and gone. The tents are down at the PA Military Museum in Boalsburg and the stage is gone from Allen Street in Downtown State College. It seems every year the anticipation builds and builds for Arts Fest and the People’s Choice Festival and then in a flash, it’s behind us. This year, I did what I always intend to do every year, but somehow just can’t find the time. I went out to both festivals with the sole purpose of watching some local bands that I enjoy. We always are fortunate to have a wide array of local, regional and national talent grace the stages in State College and Boalsburg during Festival Week and this year was no exception. I was also personally fortunate

enough to be part of the fun as my band, Your Dad’s Friends, took the stage on Saturday afternoon at the People’s Choice Festival. I saw at least a portion of many bands that played in either State College or Boalsburg last week including Miss Tess & the Bon Ton Parade, Baltimore Red with Wayne Werner, Matt Santry, Eric Himan, the Andy Angel Quartet, and Hybrid Ice. There were three shows from local groups in particular that really “caught my ear.� On Saturday evening, my wife and I went out to the People’s Choice Festival and caught the beginning of the second set from Hybrid Ice. Then, we headed into State College to catch two local bands. The first was Miss Melanie & The Valley Rats. I caught their first set at Zeno’s about a month ago and was thoroughly impressed so I wanted to see them again. If you’ve been around the area for awhile, you may remember Queen Bee & The Blue Hornet Band. Mark Ross and Jack Wilkinson were members of that band and they are also the guitarist and drummer, respectively, for Miss Melanie & The Valley Rats. It’s hard to put words on paper on just how powerful lead vocalist Melanie Morrison’s voice is. She can belt out the blues with a fervor that will send chills down your spine. If you

get the chance, go see this band, you won’t be disappointed. During their set, Miss Melanie made reference to the fact that Mark Ross “rescued her from karaoke obscurity.� If Ross heard her at a karaoke night, and formed the band around her, he made an incredible discovery. They also have a new CD out entitled, Slow Down. After Miss Melanie, local favorites, The Rustlanders, rocked the Allen Street stage with their blend of blues, roots, rock & roll, country and folk. The Rustlanders are a local success story opening for national touring acts and having Don Was produce their latest album. Running the sound for both shows on Saturday night was Tom “Mugsy� Gallagher of Music Mart in State College. His band, Hounds of Soul was playing on Sunday at People’s Choice, so I made my way back to
Boalsburg on Sunday afternoon to catch their set. Hounds of Soul are a classic R&B, funk, soul band with a four-piece horn section. They started off with James Brown’s Too Funky In Here and then rolled through their hour-long set laying down a groove and doing some classics like Joe Cocker’s version of The Letter, Lucretia McEvil from Blood, Sweat & Tears, Sir Duke and Superstition from Stevie Wonder and my personal favorite, Home At Last from Steely Dan. Lead vocalist Sherri Orlofsky and keyboardist/vocalist John Wise kept the crowd up between songs as well. So, Festival Week is behind us for another year. Take advantage of the wonderful entertainment that we get to see (for FREE, I might add) for four days every July.
A Sunny Time Was Had by All Article & photos by Ebun Adewumi
STATE COLLEGE – When the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts started on Wednesday morning it was raining. However that did not deter the thousands who came out to celebrate Kid’s Day. The rain, though, lasted only for a moment as the sun quickly came out and shone for the rest of the day. The start of Arts Fest always means children selling their homemade crafts on the sidewalks of Allen Street. There were swords and wands, jewelry and tie-dyed t-shirts, headbands and even a homemade jump rope toy. A couple of dollars here or there could get you a variety of goods. Zan Dyreson, 8, and her sister Katie, 5, visited their friend Beth, 8, who was selling decorated notebooks and pencils at a booth with her cousins. “Next year we are going to make stuff to sell,� Zan promised. And then there were the ever popular buckets; a favorite of children for years and a way to get cooled off Penn State Jugglers on a scorching summer day. On the Allen Street stage a variety of musically inclined children performed throughout the day keeping the Kids Day theme going. On the stage on Old Main children danced, twirled, and showed off their martial arts skills. After the kids clear out on Wednesday the older artist set up shop downtown and on campus. Holly Sue Fiss of Minneapolis, MN was selling her serigraphs, a type of printmaking. She said she had been selling her art since 1983 but has only been at the Arts Fest three times. “[I am] enjoying the beautiful weather and talking with

The Spirit of Cruisn’ Lives On `In 1986, cruisn’ the block, a right of passage for every State College teenager, became illegal. Some thought that all those cruisers – going east on College and west on Beaver – were keeping folks from coming downtown to shop and dine. Two local disk jockeys, Kevin Nelson and A classic British 1960 Austin Wendy Williams, were doing Healy roadster a live broadcast near the by Mark Bigatel of Centre Hall. Nittany Mall the night the new anti-Crusin’ law was to take effect at midnight. They didn’t exactly see the logic of the new law and while on the air they put out a call for everyone that night to do one “Last Cruise” in downtown State College. They weren’t sure if anyone would take them up on their suggestion. Kevin and Wendy didn’t realize, as they left the mall to head back to the station in State College, that they were the leaders of a line of hundreds of cars of all makes and models that were full of folks that were ready to go Cruisn’. That is how the “Last Cruise” was started – so the spirit of Cruisn’ will live on forever. If you’re not Cruisn’ you’re losin’!

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.

Local Student Honored by Troy Polamalu By Matt Masullo
In May of 2011, Steelers All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu went back to USC to complete his college education. Upon graduation, he wanted to inspire others and award one lucky student with a “Student of the Year” award every year. In its first year of existence, Micah Heckathorne, a 4th grader from Penns Valley Elementary school, was selected as Troy Polamalu’s Student of the Year. Micha’s name was submitted by Sandy Dieterle to be entered into the contest that featured several thousand entries from across the country. Micah, an 11-year-old, was born with life long challenges in-store for his every day life. With the help of his wonderful family and different Early Intervention Agencies, Micah struggled every day to achieve baby steps of improvement. Micah has never given up or into the difficulties that each day brings him. Micah attends a regular education classroom along with a Life Skills classroom. Micah’s teacher, Mrs. Anne Gaddis at the Penns Valley Elementary School, embraces each child in the room and lives and breathes for their successes. Micah enters each day with a smile on his face despite the challenges that he faces. Micah is a huge Steelers fan as well; very fitting for whom the award is named after. He can pick out the Steelers logo on any shirt or item, and when he does it lights up his day.
Micah n e v e r grumbles about his daily tasks that take a significant amount of time to accomplish. He does get grumpy when it’s time for recess or to do an activity that doesn’t include learning. He wants to know and learn everything. This young man has taken his challenges and faced them head-on without a complaint. He can cheer up the saddest person and makes one think how fortunate they are to be able to get through a day without majors concerns. The prize he received for winning this award was a signed Troy Polamalu jersey. In no coincidence, Micha even dressed as the former Defensive Player of the Year this past year for Halloween. Foreshadowing one might say, for the award that he would ultimately win months later. It is stories like these that put things into perspective for each and every one of us. Micah doesn’t complain about the hand that he was dealt; he embraces every challenge that he faces. The Centre County Gazette would like to congratulate Micah on his wonderful achievement. With the perseverance and drive that he has shown throughout his life, he has certainly inspired this writer.

William Roy “Bill� Summers November 4, 1932 – July 3, 2011
William Roy “Bill� Summers, 78 of Bellefonte, entered into the arms of the Lord July 3, 2011 at his residence surrounded by his family. He was born in Akron, Ohio, November 4, 1932; a son of the late Robert Roy and Elizabeth Mae (Keenan) Summers. On November 27, 1965, he married Lois Elaine Weaver at the Milesburg Presbyterian church with Rev. Lowell D. Lee officiating. Together they had two sons, Chris Alan (Maria Macri) of State College and their children Joseph Alan, Sophia Elizabeth, and Ella Mae. Their younger son David Roy lives in Milesburg. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother Earl Lee, sister Carol Ann Robinson and half-sister Vivian Owens. Surviving inlaws include Max Robinson of Milesburg and Barbara Summers of Atwater, OH; He was “Uncle Bill� to Nancy Summers, Jeffrey Summers (Leigh), Susan Bowser (Tim), Patricia Monohan (Sean), Robert Summers (Lisa), Cynthia Robinson Fayman (Richard), Edward Robinson and many other great nieces and nephews who loved their “Uncle Bill.� After graduating from Bellefonte High School in 1952 he owned and operated “Summers Restaurant� in Milesburg until 1956. Thereafter, he was a payroll clerk for the Pennsylvania Highway Department and then moved on to the Penn State Registrar’s and Bursar’s Offices, where he retired.
He was an avid sports fan of Bald Eagle Area, Bellefonte, and Penn State attending countless games and events. He held membership in the Milesburg Baptist Church and served as Sunday School Superintendent and Junior High School Sunday School teacher and sang in the choir for many years. He also was the lead singer for the Spiritones Quartet and travelled with the Tyrone Men’s Chorus, directed by Gib Summers. He was most proud of being named the Bellefonte Jaycees “Outstanding Young Man of the Year� in 1966. Governor Shaffer honored him with the Distinguished Service Award in that year as well. Friends were received from 6 to 8 PM Wednesday, July 6, 2011 and Thursday July 7 from 1 PM until time of service at 2 PM at Mark D. Heintzelman Funeral and Cremation Service P. C., 1034 Benner Pike, State College, PA 16801. Reverend John Walters, Hospice Chaplin for Home Nursing Agency Healthcare will officiate at the service. Burial services will be at Shiloh Cemetery.

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. 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. 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. COURSE: Wheel measured courses. RUN/WALK: starts at the middle school and traverses the perimeter of the town of Bellefonte. BIKE RIDE: consists of 2 loops out Jacksonville Rd around Lyonstown Rd. and back, including a loop through the Parkview development and finishing with short loop through Parkview Heights. ENTRY FEE: $15.00 Pre-Registration per individual event (by August 8th) - $20.00 per individual event (after August 8th and on Race Day) *BONUS: If participating in both events entry fee only $25 total pre-registered , $30 both events after August 8th.

The employee-boss dynamic can be a complicated one, especially when the employee shows the boss up. However, on Sunday when Ryan Newman found himself out in front of his boss and teammate, Tony Stewart, the boss was just as happy as the employee. Newman and Stewart finished 1-2, the same way that they started the race, both qualifying on the front row. The win is Newman’s first win of the season. With the strong finish, it put the teammates in good position to make a push for the Chase field. With only seven races remaining, each and every race up until the deadline surely will come down to the wire. Rounding out the top five were Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano and Jimmie Johnson.

The Mousetrap will Trap Your Imagination By Pat Park
Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap is now playing at Millbrook Playhouse and is worth the trip to Mill Hall. This is one of the best versions that I have seen of this popular play. Stage & The show is exceptionally well Screen directed by Kate Pines; it moves quickly, each character is defined, the humor is actually funny, the timing is good, and the suspense is – yes, suspenseful. If you saw Love, Sex, and the IRS you saw only a portion of the talents of Brett Epstein, Eileen Glenn, Alexander Taylor Mace, Allison Jordon, and Nicholas Wilder. It amazes me that all of them could be playing silly farcical roles while rehearsing more serious roles in a Christie play. Nicholas Wilder got rid of the dress from last week’s… IRS to play Detective Sergeant Trotter this week, a part with more undertones. He did it with conviction! This week Allison Jordon is the masculine Miss Casewell and given an opportunity for a well done dramatic scene at the end of the play. In fact, if I had not seen their names in the program; I would not have recognized them. It also took me a while to identify Alexander Taylor Mace. He does an excellent job of keeping in the background as Major Metcalf. Brett Epstein, once again, almost steals the show. This time he is a very disturbed young man, Christopher Wren, who may enjoy the idea of murder just a little too much. Richard Guido has been in quite a few Millbrook plays over the years and it was good to see him in a role that seemed
to suit him. His Mr. Paravicini is just the right amount of “something rather phony.” The newly weds, Mollie and Giles Ralston, were played by Ali Kresch and David Jackson. It may have been noted that I am a member of the local Ali Kresch fan club. This season she has come into her own as an actress. She and David did such convincing job that several people near me were sure that one of them “did it.” The Mousetrap is one of my favorite plays--in fact I judge all mystery writers against Christie. It was first produced in 1952 in the West End of London and is still going strong; that’s over 24,000 performances. Christie would not allow it to be published in book form in England as long as the plat was running. It has been published in the United States in an anthology under the title Three Blind Mice. Millbrook’s production is fresh and vibrant. Taking a play that has a long history and making it seem new is a tribute to the talents of any group. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee will open on the Main Stage at Millbrook on July 21. Because this is a show of ad-libs, it will be fun to compare it to Boal Barn’s version. Can’t wait!
– and touching. Each actor had a moment to shine in his or her “death monologue.” These moments were particularly poignant. At times, the only wrong note for me was the character of Rubenstein played by Rick Gilmore. Mr. Gilmore did a fine job, but I am not sure how much “comic relief” the show needed. Chris Gallagher was Markowsky, the man who helped the Nazis to round up the Jews to the cattle cars. He was a good balance to show how far a man will go to protect his own family. The sets by Nicki Duvall were well thought out; making it always clear if the action was in the Ghetto or the streets of Warsaw. All in all, the play was well done, from Anne Simon’s directing, to the important lighting design of Celine O. Graae and the costumes of Diane Twomley. With some countries saying that they are going to stop teaching about the Holocaust for fear of offending someone and the swastika showing up in inappropriate places, we need to be reminded of this time in history. It would be dangerous to forget. The Survivor will run until July 31. Into the Woods, the musical by Stephen Sondheim, will open on August the 9.

The Survivor: Lest We Forget The State College Community Theatre opened The Survivor this week at Boal Barn Playhouse. The era is 1940 to 1943 and the place is the Warsaw Ghetto. A group of Jewish teenagers are living with the constant threat of death by the Nazis. They start by banding together to smuggle food into the Ghetto and end by forming the nucleus of the resistance movement. Thanks to a cast that felt the desperate drama that these young people must have lived through, it was worth braving the heat to spend an evening at The Barn. I was amazed when I read how young this cast is. They captured a time and circumstances that, thankfully, they have not experienced. Each member of the cast was surprisingly good, but special credit has to go to Jesse Tyler Moore who played Jacek, the survivor. His passion remained intense throughout the play climaxing with a powerful closing speech. The audience was utterly still at the end of the play, the best compliment an actor can receive. Deb Gilmore as Jacek’s little sister, Hela, gets a chance to show growth in her character. Olivia Lusk and Kaitlyn Warner as Mala and Halina, the Jewish girls living out of the Ghetto and passing as Christians, showed how frustrating it is to live as someone you aren’t. The brave rebels were played by Max Hults, Jeremy Edelstein, Joshua Miller-Day, and Michael O’Neill. Each man showed the acting talents of much more experienced actors. Again, the passion for their characters was very believable

The Board of Supervisors of Halfmoon Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, will receive public comment on the proposed Wastewater Facilities Plan Revision (Sewage Facilities Planning Module for Halfmoon Acres) for the proposed 420 unit, singlefamily residential and agricultural development on a 486 acre tract titled “ H a l f m o o n A c re s . ” T h e proposed development, located in a High Quality watershed, is situated along State Route 550 about 1.6 miles west of Route 322. In accordance with Chapter 71, Administration of the Sewage Facilities Planning Program, Section 71.31(c), the Township is accepting public comment over the next thirty (30) days on the proposed Planning Module. The developer/applicant is proposing to construct a tertiary wastewater treatment facility with 150,000 gallon per day treatment capacity with discharge through a groundwater recharge system. Discharge will not be directed to any surface water of the Commonwealth.
Alter natives considered for this proposal included public sewage service from the University Area Joint Authority, individual on-lot disposal, and an on-site wastewater treatment facility. The project is located outside the identified Regional Growth Boundary and University Area Joint Authority Sewer Service Area, the modification of which to include this property was rejected by the Centre Region member municipalities in 2007. This public notification is being provided because a Water Quality Management Permit will be required from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for the proposed facility. Copies of the Halfmoon Acres Sewage Facilities Planning Module are available for review in the Township Building at 100 Municipal Lane, Port Matilda, PA 16870. Appointments to review the module can be made by calling the Township at (814) 692-9800 during normal office hours. All comments must be submitted in writing to the Township on or before August 21, 2011.
