Editor’s Prologue By Sandie Biddle, managing editor Editor@CentreCountyGazette.com CCGazette@Hughes.net
Ready for The Last Cruise tomorrow? It’s the 25th annual Last Cruise, Saturday, July 30, starting with the 5-K race and vehicle show at the PA Military Museum in Boalsburg, and wrapping up with The Last Cruise and Best of the Best competition in downtown State College. Should be a dazzling display of chrome, glass, polish, and pizzazz. I worked at WRSC with Kevin Nelson and Wendy Williams long before they came up with the cruise idea in 1986 – shows you what a fine old vintage I am! Great idea, guys! I wish I had my ’76 Caddy Deville running and spiffed up. I could load up a dozen of my friends and cruise with you. (But only if I had a ton of dough – premium gas at about 8 miles per gallon – yikes!) Though Sam snapped the bank sign in Centre Hall registering 107 degrees, life went on almost as usual last week. Bible schools took in hundreds of vacationing kids, treating them to arts, crafts, song, and inspiration. Though there was a bit of panting, the big dog show at Grange fairgrounds went off without a whimper. Progress was made on the downtown Rain Garden – and the Snetsinger Butterfly Garden was christened. Pat Park is in theatre heaven, with more summer productions to tell you about at Millbrook and Boal Barn. Karen Dabney enjoyed a fine evening of wine and chamber music thanks to PCO and Seven Mountains Winery. There’s another one of those performances this Sunday. Take in free alfresco folk and big band concerts in Lemont, Bellefonte, and State College; Friday night classic movies and Dweezil Zappa playing his dad’s best on Sunday at The State; and an alumni performance of Gilligan’s Island, the Musical, at Penns Valley High. Can you say cultural diversity? Though short on school news, we have a lot of kids’ news in this issue – awards, scholarships, donations, and accomplishments. Won’t be long until we report on what the new school year will bring. But there are three events that must take place before it’s back-to-school time! Next up is the Bellefonte Arts & Crafts Fair, followed by Ag Progress Days, and then the Grange Fair and Encampment. We’ll let you know about all three, so you can pick and choose your favorite activities at these Centre County end-of-summer traditions. Get online and vote for your preference in This or That? Last week’s was a no brainer. Pirates beat out the Phillies 100 percent. Speaking of ball teams, how about those State College Spikes? Have you been to see them yet? Join us for Gazette night at the Spikes game next Friday, August 5 at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. We’ll have prizes, t-shirts, and a bunch of us will be there to meet you, including sports dudes Les Barnhart and Matt Masullo, the entertaining Don Bedell, and I’ll be there, too. We’ll close the evening with fireworks, a personal favorite. Let’s hear it for the home team!

Letters To The Editor In Opposition of Home Health Co-Pay Recent budget proposals surrounding the debt ceiling compromise have recommended imposing co-pays ($150-$300 for every 60 days of care) on Medicare home health services as a way to limit Medicare home health expenditures. The home health industry is already facing over $40 billion in cuts as a result of the Affordable Care Act, and any further cuts will mean that patients lose home health services, and will be forced into expensive, institutionalized care. While policies to curb inappropriate and fraudulent home health spending are in the interest of taxpayers, patients, home health providers and the Medicare program, there are serious concerns that imposing co-payments as a way to reduce spending could have unintended and detrimental impacts on access to care for our rural region and our most vulnerable seniors and the disabled. Proposals to shift the burden of costs for healthcare to Medicare beneficiaries who are already reeling from the economic downturn and other rising costs are short-sighted, risk the health and wellness of Medicare beneficiaries, and place a further financial burden on them and their families. By definition, Medicare beneficiaries must meet strict eligibility requirements – a physician referral and being “homebound” – in order to quality for home health services. Even if safeguards are put in place to protect the sickest, poorest or most vulnerable Medicare beneficiaries, co-pays will still disproportionately affect the poorest and oldest citizens because: • 47 percent of Medicare beneficiaries live on incomes below 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level, under $30,000 per year, Kaiser Family Foundation, Medicare Chartbook, 2010; • 64 percent of home health users are age 75 or older; Medicare & Medicaid Statistical Supplement, 2010. Without access to appropriate and timely home healthcare, patients may end up back in the hospital or another institutional setting at much greater costs to themselves, their families, Medicare, and to the already burgeoning Medicaid program in Pennsylvania. The cost of home health services is significantly less expensive according to Medicare & Medicaid Statistical Supplement, 2009. Average costs include: • Skilled Nursing Facility: $350 per day • Hospital: $1,805 per day • Home Health Agency: $41 per day While we agree it is important that we all do our part to promote fiscal responsibility, we cannot overlook the need to preserve the quality of our healthcare services. Now is the time to focus on prevention and better care coordination to reduce costly re-hospitalizations and ER visits. With 60 percent of Pennsylvanians suffering from chronic illness and the state’s Cost Containment figure at $4 billion in charges for avoidable re-hospitalizations, these figures alone are a flashpoint. What industry is best suited and poised to manage this population, and in the most cost-effective manner? If it’s not home and community-based providers like us then who is it? Please contact your Congressmen today and ask them to reject a short-sighted proposal to impose a co-payment on the Medicare home health benefit. Sincerely, Robert R. Packer President/CEO, Home Nursing Agency Healthcare

“Putting on the Dog” at The Grange Fairgrounds Article & Photos by Sam Stitzer
CENTRE HALL – The Nita-Nee Kennel Club, in conjunction with the Chambersburg Kennel Club, hosted a dog show on the Grange Fairgrounds on July 21 through 24. Show Chairman, Carol Brown, of the Nita-Nee Kennel Club said that there were actually four separate shows held. Each day was a show in itself, and dogs could be entered in any or all of the four shows. About 1,000 dogs of 124 breeds were being judged continuously in eight separate show rings, and obedience judging was held inside the blue building on the grounds. Ms. Brown is an experienced and well-traveled dog show judge, having judged many shows around the country, and overseas. I thought 1,000 dogs was a lot until Ms. Brown called it a “small show.” She once attended a world class show with 86,000 dogs in 100 show rings! She said that a 1,200 dog show is considered a medium-size show in this area. The logistics of organizing even a small show is a formidable task. Ms. Brown said that judges are sometimes booked two or three years in advance. A Kennel Club rule requires different judges be used for judging best of breed, best in group, and best of show categories. “It’s not just a beauty contest”, says Carol Brown. The dogs are judged in the context of their particular breed. Working dogs, for example are judged not just on their appearance, but also on the work they were bred to do. The toy dogs are
judged more on their looks. “Lots of their [toy dog] judging is done by picking the dog up and just looking at the head”, says Ms. Brown. The judging is a process of elimination. The winners in each breed go on to be judged in one of seven groups (sporting dogs, hunting dogs, toy dogs, etc.). The seven group winners go to the best of show judging. The best of show winner is the one dog that is undefeated. I guess that’s where the phrase “top dog” comes from. With the thermometer hovering near three-digit temperatures, I asked Carol how the dogs handled the heat. She said that the dog owners carry plenty of ice, and most of them have air-conditioned RV’s to stay in. They also use portable cooling fans, and “wet coats,” which are filled with cold water to cool the dogs down, and there were a couple misters on the grounds, spraying a fine mist of water for cooling dogs and humans! Yes, I tried one, and it felt great, but next time I’ll remember to remove my glasses! A raffle was held to raise funds to donate pet food to the Faith Centre Pet Food Bank. The Nita-Nee club recently purchased $800 worth of pet food to donate to the Pet Food Bank. In spite of the heat, this show was an enjoyable event for dog lovers from near and far. Congratulations to the Nita-Nee Kennel Club, and the Chambersburg Kennel Club for “putting on the dog” in Centre Hall.

Over the years my experience with book groups has been good; several have been the basis of lasting friendships; I also am fond of Jane Austin’s books. Now it would make sense that a book by Karen Joy Fowler titled The Jane Austin Book Club would catch my eye. Sometimes a book sounds better than it actually is. Five women and one man have formed a book group to discuss Jane Austin’s novels. Each person has his or her favorite book and is able to identify with at least one character from the books. During the six months that they meet we get to know them and their relationships with each other. The problem was that I really did not care to get to know any of them better. The plot deals more about the characters as they grew up and their dysfunctional families than we may have needed.

A Beagle and her owner strut their stuff for the judges.
In the middle of telling us about the lies that were told to children, Fowler randomly throws in a section from one of Jane Austin’s books or, even more confusingly, a section written during the Regency Period by an obscure author. I am sure that Fowler had a point to make with these quotes, but I was just lost, with no idea of where she was going with them. The book has no real plot, no real character development, and no poetic language; these are the things that I look for in a book. By now you are probably asking why I actually finished the book. (I sometimes wondered that myself.) Two things kept me going: One, I wanted to see if things got better, and two, I wanted to warn you to avoid what looked like a good read. The Jane Austin Book Club has been on bestseller lists and has been made into a movie. It was a case of feeling was I missing something or was it a case of the complimentary comments on the jacket being misleading? I have come to a conclusion – it is the latter. There are too many good books waiting for us to waste our time on this one. You may want to skip this one.

The Democratic Watchman Newspaper – July 25, 1879 JOURNEYING OVERLAND: Mr. B. K. JAMISON, banker on Third and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, was in Bellefonte last week and stopped with his family at the Brockerhoff House. He was traveling in his own carriage from Lewistown to the Delaware Water Gap, having had his team and vehicle shipped to the former place from Philadelphia. From Lewistown he drove at once to this place. Mr. J. and family travel with great comfort and convenience, their wagon having been constructed expressly for such journeying as this. On Thursday of last week, the JAMISON party, accompanied by Governor CURTIN, Judge ORVIS, General BEAVER and a party of ladies and gentlemen went to Snow Shoe City, over the switchback railroad where they took in a liberal supply of the good things of the Chingleclamouch House, afterwards paying a visit to the coal mines. From here Mr. JAMISON proceeded leisurely to Lock Haven and Williamsport. The Democratic Watchman – April 9, 1880 Captain John GILLILAND, of Moshannon, gave us a call on Wednesday.

Rain Gardens Use Storm Runoff in Beautiful Ways
PAGE 9
Four Students Graduate from School of Clinical Laboratory Science
Article & photos by Jasmine J. Suarez
Contributed by Mt. Nittany Medical Center
STATE COLLEGE – Within the Community Room of the Schlow Library, business owners and inquiring citizens alike attended the open house on July 6 to discuss the borough’s plans to add two rain gardens to the community. Aborist Alan Sam and other officials met individually with businesses and property owners to provide any information and answer any questions they may have about this planned project. “We specifically invited business and property owners from downtown, but we also put out a general invitation for any curious community members as well,” Sam said. The rain gardens are a way of addressing the urban storm water runoff downtown. There’s so much room between sidewalks and roadways that the runoff is going unchecked into the storm sewer system which eventually affects the water in the streams. The rain gardens will clean the water before it reaches those streams and minimize the peak flow that goes into those streams. “There are different ways to do this, like through hardscaping, engineering and design, building storm sewer systems – or you can try a more passive route like the rain gardens which will purify the rain water naturally.” Sam said. The rain gardens are going to be about 50 feet long and six feet wide – and again show that State College is a leader when it comes to protecting the environment. The project will hopefully educate the masses and give them background information on how to keep their water clean. The project will begin soon and both rain gardens will be complete within four to five weeks. You’ll see them on both side of South Allen Street where it intersects with Beaver Avenue. The rain gardens are scientifically designed. A special soil mix will allow percolation of rain water; the soil will act as nature’s sieve through which only clean water can pass once the filtering process is done. There will also be various types of perennial plants such as black-eyed Susans, blue fescue, lilyturf, dragon’s blood sedum, and cardinal flowers. “The funding behind the project is coming out of the boroughs general funding, and this is certainly worth it, considering it’s going to allow us to have cleaner water. The project is a great addition to the community and I’m excited about it.”
STATE COLLEGE – Four biotechnology students from The Pennsylvania State University have fulfilled the requirements for graduation from the Mount Nittany Medical Center School of Clinical Laboratory Science. Sue Kurilla, Wilkes Barre, Stacie Wolfe, Hollidaysburg, Sarah Hightower, Strafford, VA, and Rachel Brick, Princeton Junction, NJ, completed 30 credits and 11 months of laboratory experience at the medical center. Certification from the medical center and the completion of their bachelor degree from Penn State makes them eligible to take the national
registry exam, according to Meg Pruss, program director. Clinical Laboratory Scientists (CLS), also known as Medical Technologists, work in all areas of the clinical laboratory including microbiology, chemistry, immunology/ serology, hematology, molecular diagnostics, and immunohematology (blood banking). Opportunities for jobs are excellent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The profession will need 149,000 new CLS to fill expected vacancies and new positions by the year 2014. The medical center hired one of this year’s graduates, Stacie Wolfe. She passed her registry exam and began working in the laboratory in July. Describing her experience at the school, she said, “I liked the small class size, and the hands-on lab experience.” Wolfe says analyzing the specimens in the lab each day is always fascinating. “There is such a wide range of lab results for different disease states. It’s interesting to see how the body reacts to disease.” Graduates Kurilla and Hightower have also passed the registry exam and are seeking employment near their hometowns. Brick will be going to graduate school for viral research at the University of Pittsburgh. (From L to R): Sue Kurilla; Stacie Wolfe; Elle Morgan, health writer and communications coordinator at Mount Nittany; Sarah Hightower; Rachel Brick. Mount Nittany Medical Center honors four biotechnology students from The Pennsylvania State University for fulfilling the requirements for graduation from the Mount Nittany Medical Center of Clinical Laboratory Science.

WWII Veterans & Memorabilia Featured at Fly-In Contributed by Thomas Kirk
PHILIPSBURG – Mid State Community Airport, Philipsburg (near Black Moshannon State Park) is hosting a World War II 70th anniversary recognition event at their annual Fly-In on Saturday, August 20. Event organizers are seeking to get in contact now with any WWII veterans interested in attending and participating by sharing their experiences in the war. Any WWII personal pictures, memorabilia, clothing or uniforms, and equipment WWII veterans wish to bring for display is also appreciated. Event organizers are also seeking any authentic or reproduction WWII era planes and vehicles, (along with any uniforms/clothing and equipment) for indoor or outdoor display from anyone wishing to help us in honoring these veterans. Volunteers are also needed and any WWII “reenactors” would be most welcome to participate in this event. Contact Shawn Kirk (814) 345-5023 or e-mail tmsk3@verizon. net for more information and/or to enlist to help.
Mr. Kirk wrote down the story of a WWII vet who flew a P-38 Lightning fighter in the south Pacific...and also copied more than 60 of his wartime photos to a computer file. It’s one of the many fine exhibits that will be on display at the Fly-In.
Justice for Valerie: Valerie’s Law Created Centre County mom gets justice By Ebun Adewumi
HARRISBURG – On July 25 Andi Heidt-Biddle was there to witness justice for her daughter when a bill was signed in Harrisburg that will link boating under the influence with driving under the influence. The proposed law will allow ad DUI conviction to be used to determine the sentencing for a conviction of BUI, boating under the influence. On July 10, 2009 12-year-old Valerie Heidt was killed in a boating accident by a man who was driving his boat drunk on the West Branch of the Susquehanna River near Lock Haven. In July 2010, John E. Englert II, the man who was driving the boat that killed her, who had been convicted of drunk driving three times prior, was sentenced to jail for five to 11 years. If the accident had been on land, his sentence
would have been twice as long, but in Pennsylvania a DUI on water is not the same as a DUI on land. Pennsylvania law states that a person can spend a maximum of seven years in prison for Englert’s offense because a DUI and BUI didn’t correlate. Senator John Wozniak and state Representatives Kerry Benninghoff and Mike Hanna wanted to change that. “This law is about bringing parity to the system,” Benninghoff said. “The families of the victims don’t care whether the incident happened on water or on land. Their suffering is no less one way or the other. The law now reflects the fact that driving under the influence, whether it’s in a car or boat, is unacceptable. If we can prevent just one family from suffering the loss felt by Andi Heidt, this law will be well worth it.”
Approved legislation would make DUI in any vehicle the same as a vehicular DUI. It would also increase prison time for DUI crimes that kill children under the age of 15.

Wings in the Park By Jasmine J. Suarez
STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Saturday, July 23 marked the second annual Wings in the Park at Tudek Park and the dedication of the Snetsinger Butterfly Garden. The event provided an opportunity to share the benefits of pollinator-friendly gardening with the community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in a fun and creative atmosphere. Located within the larger habitat is The Penn State Extension Master Gardener Pollinator-Friendly Demonstration Garden, where Penn State Extension Master Gardeners are taking action to protect pollinators by planting pollinator-friendly gardens and providing education for the gardening public. The original concept for the celebration was inspired by the park visitors, who frequently stop to ask for information about providing food and habitat for native insects and animals. There were several exhibits, games and demonstrations. Some highlights were the habitat scavenger hunt, Shutterbug Booth, and live observation beehive and life-cycle exhibit. For the Shutterbug Booth, participants would dress up as pollinators or flowers, create mini scenes, and have their picture taken. It was an educational experience within a theatre context. For the scavenger hunt, participants were given a list of tasks to complete, or plants within the habitat to discover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The love of our natural world begins with the joy of discovery, and the scavenger hunt was developed as a way to introduce families to Snetsinger Butterfly Garden and what this unique habitat has to offer,â&#x20AC;? said Pam Ford who serves as team organizer for a group of Penn State Extension Master Gardeners. In addition to the Wings in the Park event, it was also the dedication of the Snetsinger Butterfly Garden, in honor of Dr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Butterfly Bobâ&#x20AC;? Snetsinger. The Tudek Trust, Ferguson Township, and Centre Region Parks and Recreation recognized Dr. Snetsingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstanding work, officially designating the habitat as The Snetsinger Butterfly Garden at Tom Tudek Memorial Park. Snetsinger is the inspiration behind the entire three-acre butterfly habitat. His mission is to educate the public about the importance of butterfly conservation and ecosystems, many of which are endangered throughout the world. Through his efforts he has encouraged the general public to establish butterfly-friendly habitats. Today more than 30 Master Gardeners work with Bob to maintain the garden as an educational resource for the community. Sixteen years ago this old field habitat had six resident species of butterflies. Today there are more than resident species, 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether age eight or 80, my greatest thrill is watching someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face light up with the joy of discovery [as in discovering a swallowtail caterpillar on the fennel]. I am continually inspired by Butterfly Bob and
my colleagues, the Master Gardeners who work with him,â&#x20AC;? Pam said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their enthusiasm and pursuit of fresh and interesting ways to educate the public is positive and exciting. The Snetsinger Butterfly Garden has become a special place for the public and is visited by youth and school groups, gardeners, photographers, researchers and thousands of people of all ages each year.â&#x20AC;? Working with Bob, a team of Master Gardeners develops educational displays. Still others work with community stewards, mentor satellite gardens, give tours of the native plantings, collect data, or provide photography for the exhibits. A group of Master Gardeners maintain the Penn State Extension Master Gardener Pollinator-Friendly Demonstration Garden as a research and educational resource, and provide presentations and events focused on protecting our pollinators. Going forward, Penn State Extension Master Gardeners are leading an effort to develop a large platform deck that will enhance the observation of butterfly species and other pollinators as well as birds and wildlife essential to the health of the habitat. The deck will serve as an outdoor classroom space for Penn State Extension Master Gardener educational programming and provide opportunities for special events, visual and performing arts programs related to the habitat, and Wings in the Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the center of all this activity is Dr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Butterfly Bobâ&#x20AC;? Snetsinger, and like a pebble in a pond, the ripples have extended far and wide into the community. Community members, our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;community stewardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; working in their planting areas, are not just learning about environmental stewardship practices, but through their efforts, they are demonstrating to the community that they too, can create a pollinator friendly environment in their own back yard,â&#x20AC;? Pam said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Schools, organizations, and neighborhoods receive educational programming and additional resources to develop new pollinator friendly gardens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;satelliteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gardens of the Snetsinger Butterfly Garden. As one example, just this spring, more than 200 first- and second-grade students and instructional staff at Easterly Parkway Elementary School participated in a project that developed an on-site butterfly habitat that would provide students observation opportunities corresponding to the life cycle unit. On Easterly Parkway planting day, Bob came out to the school and delighted the children with a display of Monarch butterflies. The excitement never ends.â&#x20AC;?

25th Anniversary of The Last Cruise
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 Wendy Williams, were doing a live broadcast near the 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. In addition to the Cruise, the Best of the Best Car Show and a 5-K run have been added to the day’s events, to benefit the Centre County Youth Service Bureau. Kevin Nelson will emcee the event again this year. Be sure to thank him for this great tradition.
Cruise Ordinance Lifted for July 30 Contributed by the State College Borough Police
The “Last Cruise” will be held on Saturday, July 30, 2011 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in downtown State College. Although the State College Borough “Cruising Ordinance” will not be enforced during this time, officers will continue to enforce vehicle code violations including speeding, red light and stop sign violations, and driving too fast for conditions violations. Officers will also take enforcement action for drivers doing “burn outs” and for operating a vehicle in a careless or reckless manner.

Centre Hall Churches Hold Vacation Bible School Article & photos by Sam Stitzer
CENTRE HALL – During the week of July 18 to 22, the Centre Hall Council of Churches sponsored a Vacation Bible School at Grace United Methodist Church in Centre Hall. About 65 children from age three through sixth grade participated in the VBS. The Council of Churches consists of members from St. Luke’s Lutheran, Trinity United Church of Christ, and Grace United Methodist churches. Their program’s theme was “Sonsurf Beach Bash,” and it appropriately began with a kickoff party at the Millheim swimming pool on Sunday, July 17. Each weekday evening began with dinner in the church social hall, and then the kids rotated through different activity areas, including music, crafts, and bible stories. The children were divided into age groups which were named the turtles, the sea lions, the soaring seagulls, and the fabulous fish. The adult leaders were telling Bible stories in the church Sunday School rooms, which were equipped with cooling fans to combat the stifling heat of the week. Crafts were moved to the basement social hall, which was a little cooler. Also in the social hall were the age nine through sixth grade students working on a mural to be a backdrop for a skit performed on the VBS program’s final night. The liveliest place was the sanctuary,

where the kids were singing and making motions to new songs they had learned. The sounds of ocean waves and sea gulls were playing through speakers to set the beach mood as the children entered, and in the sweltering heat, everyone probably wished there was a real beach there! In spite of the heat, the kids were having a great time, and learning valuable lessons in life. VBS coordinators Kathy Coursen, Linda Hosterman, and Laura Romig were pleased at the turnout, and were very grateful for the adult volunteers who took time out from busy lives to serve as leaders and helpers. It was refreshing to see these folks helping to organize and conduct this great program. We salute them, and we thank them very much for their efforts.

“Football’s Back” NFL Owners and Players Union Reach Agreement to End Lengthy Lockout By Les Barnhart Christmas is July has been used for sales gimmicks, fun at Minor League Baseball parks and countless other things. It’s generally a fun reminder of a holiday that finds most people in a great and festive mood. Nevermore has Christmas in July been viewed at as a time for celebration than last Monday when NFL fans were treated to the words… ”Football’s back”. After a lengthy lockout that spanned several months, the NFL owners and the NFL Players Union burnt more midnight oil to finally reach an agreement that brought an end to a fight. It was a fight that was ugly at times with both sides firing barbs at the other but in the end both NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the head of the NFL Players Association, DeMaurice Smith uttering the words that so many fans simply wanted to hear…”Football’s back”. The drawn out legal battle provided fans a ray of hope in April when the NFL owners lifted the lockout for several days while the league held their annual draft. That was short lived as the doors were again locked after the conclusion of the draft and fans were again left wondering what they would do on Sunday’s this fall. While both sides will claim victory, clearly it was the fans that won out in the end. They have football back and for so many, they couldn’t be happier. The fans were clearly on the mind of a man that certainly won the respect and admiration of fans that generally hate his team. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft
was hailed by Indianapolis Colts’ center Jeff Saturday as “a man who helped save football”. Kraft worked diligently to help get this agreement in place, all the while dealing with his wife’s battle with cancer. Despite his wife’s passing last Wednesday, Kraft was present on Monday when the agreement was announced. When he spoke, the first thing he did was offer an apology to the fans. With the current agreement being accepted, NFL fans will have ten years of labor rest so they along with the league can get back to the business of football. The regular season will open as scheduled in September but before that happens, the teams will hold a condensed training camp with coaches trying to get their work done with the players they have. All of the teams will have opened their respective training camps by the weekend but the fun may comes from the frantic signing of free agents, rookie draft picks as well as undrafted rookies. Roster cuts and player trades will also add spice to a process that normally lasts months rather than the days or weeks that teams and players will be afforded this season. It all shapes up to an interesting season that should have as much preseason drama as some postseasons have provided in past seasons. No matter if that is the case or not, two things are for sure. The first thing is Sunday’s in the fall will once again be filled with football and the reason for that is simple…”Football’s back”.

Raise the Jolly Roger By Matt Masullo Brace yourself Pirates fans, the Bucco’s are in the hunt for NL Central crwon at the end of July. Their inspired play, surprising pitching and clutch hitting has vaulted the Pirates into the national spotlight. This past Monday, the Pirates played the Braves on ESPN, their first appearance on the World Wide Leader since 2004. They won that raindelayed contest 3-1. Usually, the Pirates are in the national spotlight in late July because they are trading their up and coming players to the likes of the Yankees and Red Sox. Not this year, not these Bucco’s. This year, there are rumors that the Pirates will by buyers at the trade deadline (July 31) as opposed sellers, as they have been in the past. The Pirates could use a big bat to add to the lineup, even with the recent recall of Pedro Alvarez from Class AAA Indianapolis. They also need a catcher who can contribute offensively with Ryan Doumit and Chris Snyder still on the disabled list. Michael
McKenry has been solid behind the dish, but he is hitting .253 in a spot where the Bucco’s could use some pop. The Pirates had three All-Star selections this past July (Closer Joel Hanrahan, Center Fielder Andrew McCutchen and Starting Pitcher Kevin Corriea), the most since 1990, when Bobby Bonilla, Neil Heaton and Barry Bonds were selected to the team. For a team that Las Vegas predicted to win 65 games this year, the Pirates certainly have shocked most baseball experts this season so far. With a little over two months left in the season and the NL Central as wide open as it has been in years past, the Pirates could be making a late season run for a playoff spot.

Durkin-Rogers Golf Tournament a Success By: Gazette Staff Reporters
The 2011 Bryan Durkin-Dr. Hugh Rogers Golf Tournament was held this past Saturday, July 23, at Nittany Country Club in Mingoville.

Dr. Rogers and his father were team doctors for Bellefonte athletes for 75 years. The tournament was run by the Red Raider Football Team’s coaching staff and booster club, and benefits the Bryan Durkin and Dr. Hugh Rogers Memorial Scholarships, as well as the Bellefonte Football Program. The tournament has been in existence for nineteen years. The winning team, who traveled from West Virginia to play, finished the tournament with a score of 57. Members of the winning team were Chris Vari, John Patterson, TJ Katz and Steve Muha. Coming in second place, were John Curtin, Drew Curtin, Mike Braniff and Rick Smally.

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. 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.

Elks Ladies Raise Funds for “Rally for the Cure”

Bartley Records First Ace of Career; Course Yields Sixth of the Year From Scott Frey, PGA Professional at NCC
Gary Bartley recorded Nittany Country Clubs sixth Hole-in-One of the 2011 golf season on Wednesday July 20th, 2011. Gary aced the 125 yard 8th hole. It was his first ever Hole-in-One. Witnessed by Bucky Quici, John Wetzler, and Denny Taylor.
After more than a week of rain, the warm sunshine was a welcome partner to help the Elks Ladies’ Leagues “tee it up” against breast cancer. On Tuesday, May 10, 2011, thirty-four women played in a “Rally for the Cure” scramble and raised $1,411—our largest total ever. Since 2001, the Elks ladies’ leagues have raised $8,164 in the fight against breast cancer and have provided women information about the importance of early detection. “Rally for the Cure” is sponsored in partnership with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Conde Nast Publications (Golf Digest, SELF, Bon Appetit and Architectural Digest magazine), volunteer Ambassadors and rally participants. Together we can make a difference. The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1982 by Nancy Brinker to honor the memory of her sister, Susan Komen, who died of breast cancer at the age of 36. “Rally for the Cure”, established in 1996, brings breast cancer awareness to women golfers. Each year, breast cancer is the leading cause of death for women ages 35-54 and this disease also accounts for more than 75% of all cancer deaths of 55 years of age and older. Early detection is the key in the fight to eradicate breast cancer as a lifethreatening disease. Since 1996, Rally for the Cure has generated over $60 million for
Susan G. Komen for the Cure—the largest source of non-profit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world. The evening’s scramble was won by Ginny Hosterman, Sally Shirk and Marian Williams. Brenda Wagner won the Closestto-the-Pin contest on Hole 18 sponsored by “Rally for the Cure” and received a Cleveland Hybrid 4i for her efforts of 8 feet 9 ½ inches. The following women were also contest winners: Closest-to-the-pin #10—Kathy Knechtel; Longest Putt #12—Penny Blasko; Closest-to-the-Wavy Line #14—Bev Vender; Longest Drive #13 and #15—Ginny Hosterman and Longest Putt #16—Pam Wild. We wish to thank all of our individual and corporate sponsors—Aaron Palen, The Basket Full, Brenda Wagner, Connie Schroeder, Elks County Club, Fairways and Greens, Fike Brothers Carpeting, Geisinger Breast Center, George’s Floral Boutique, Geri Stonebraker, Granite Landscaping, Grove Printing, Irvings Bagels, Kathy Knechtel, Kate Belden, Laurie Eckenroth, Lewistown Hospital, Linda Knepp, Louise Shope, Ronnie Lyons, Seven Mountains Winery, Squire Brown, The Original Italian Pizza— Burnham, and Woodring’s Floral Gardens. Special thanks to all of the women golfers as well as to Aaron Palen and his staff for their help to make this event a success.
Nittany Country Club Tournament Results By Les Barnhart
The Nittany County Club held their Member-Member tournaments on the weekend of July 16th and 17th. In the Ladies Division, the team of MJ Boldin and Sally Fletcher shot a combined 259 and were twenty shots clear of second place Karen Workman and Kay Zinsner (279) to win the gross tournament. The net title went to Barb Doland and Linda Workman after they fired a 213 to defeat Carol Colyer and Sally Kennedy (219) by six strokes. The Men’s Division was a highly contested tournament as evidenced by the top three spots in the gross scoring being separated by just five strokes. The top spot went to Tim Glunt and Scott Gray with their score of 220. That was four better than the 224 fired by Jeff Burris and Bill Luther. Just one back
of them was Ray Andrews and Brad Fritchman (225). Behind them it was bottled up as three teams finished in a tie for fourth with a score of 234. Those teams were Ron Benton and Don Richards, Bill Workman and Tim Workman was the second and the third team deadlocked in fourth was Todd Fredericks and Rick Knepp. In the net scoring race it was even tighter with the top four spots being separated by just five strokes as well. Bill Kennedy and Frank Wagner took the title with a 200 while Hank Haranin and Jack Stover finished in second, just two back (202). Third place went to Ryan Mattern and Dave McKinley with a 203 followed by Joe Beigle and Frank Webster as they fired a 205.

Bald Eagle Area Little League Softball Meeting
By: Tim Kessling
After last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1-24 performance by the Unionville Cardinals, the team rebounded this summer and proved themselves worthy of being part of Central PAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s County League Baseball League once again. In a roller coaster ride of emotions our fate was determined in the last three games of the season and we were knocked out of the playoffs in dramatic fashion. Even though the season is over I am proud to say that the Unionville Cardinals are back and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to be a part of it. Now that baseball is over and peak construction has finally passed, it is time once again to get back into the groove of things and start a six month regiment of training. If there is one thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned over the last year it is that fighting takes up a lot of time. It has been a rough few months due to work, baseball, and injuries. However, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to be back and enjoyed Monday and Wednesday this past week at the new training facility. My first day back on Monday showed me how quickly you can get out of shape. It was great to see the guys and they were even happier to see me back. It seemed like an eternity since I had seen them and it was great to catch up. Even though I was playing baseball and thought it was keeping me somewhat in shape, I was wrong. My speed seemed to be slower and endurance also proved to be an issue. From the moment I showed up until the moment that I left I was dripping like I had just got out of a swimming pool. Byron and Jason still have not discovered the wonderful invention of air conditioning and refuse to use it no matter how bad we sweat. In my absence over the past few weeks Byron and Jason have come up with a clever way to make the fighters cut weight. The guys who are trying to cut weight before a fight, or just to get in shape, wear sweat suits with wind suits underneath. This keeps the body
constantly hungry for oxygen and makes you sweat much faster while keeping the heat in. On top of wearing this they are put on a bike or row machine for 15 minutes and are also required to wear a gas mask. The purpose of the gas mask is to thin the air and make the body work harder. It is almost equivalent to working in a high altitude environment. After going through our warm-ups and learning some new techniques to add to the arsenal it was time to box. Boxing proved to be a key element in which it is important to keep up with. After a few minutes my hands started to sag and later proved to be a problem. Quickly I received my first welcome back black eye and ended the night with a bang. After being heckled at work for two days I then went back to training on Wednesday to receive my second black eye, and I now look like a raccoon. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty obvious that my shoulders need some work and I need to learn to protect a little better. However, it is great to be back and am looking forward to another six months of training and telling the readers all about it. I apologize for the recent gap in articles to those who were following and should be running them constantly now.

“Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale; a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this tropic port aboard this tiny ship.” Unless you’ve been living on a desert isle for the last 45 years, you’ll recognize these lyrics to the theme song of the Gilligan’s Island TV show. This iconic sitcom series aired from 1964 to 1967 on the CBS television network, and in syndicated reruns for the last four decades. Generations of Americans have grown up watching the antics of Gilligan, the Skipper, and all the comedic castaways. The series was created by the late Sherwood Schwartz (who also gave us The Brady Bunch), and featured Bob Denver, Alan Hale, Jr., Jim Backus, Natalie Schafer, Tina Louise, Russell Johnson and Dawn Wells portraying the somewhat oddball group of shipwrecked castaways from the “three-hour tour.” Among the millions of kids who grew up on Gilligan’s Island reruns is Peter Kistler, of Potter Township. He began watching the show when he was three years old. Peter is a 2010 graduate of Penns Valley High School, where he participated in many drama class plays and school musicals. Last September, he discovered (on the Internet) that a script for a musical version of Gilligan’s Island was available, and could be purchased for local productions. This gave him the idea of producing a version of the musical here in Penns Valley, as a fund-raising event for the Penns Valley HOPE Fund charity. Peter gathered some of his friends with similar musical and acting experience together, and they decided to go for it! They built the sets for the show, and have been rehearsing since May of this year. This weekend (July 29 to 31), Peter’s idea will become reality as Gilligan’s Island – the Musical will be presented to the public at the Penns Valley High School auditorium. There will be three performances: Friday and Saturday nights at 7 p.m., and Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. Ticket prices are Adults $8; senior citizens and student age 18 and under $5; and children age 5 and under free. All proceeds benefit the Penns Valley HOPE Fund. Gilligan’s Island – the Musical was written by Hope and Laurence Juber, and features many song-and-dance numbers, as well as lots of the typical comedic dialog that the original show was famous for. In one scene, for example, the professor is explaining some ancient Hieroglyphics found in a cave on the island. He says that the ancients had no alphabet. Gilligan’s response is “If we had no alphabet now, I would have passed English.” Yeah, it’s silly humor, but that’s what made the show great. In its day, it provided its audience with an escape from the world of the Vietnam War, race riots, hippies, and the cultural upheaval of the 1960s. Gilligan’s Island – the

Gilligan and the Skipper talk in their hammocks. Musical promises today’s audiences the same kind of enjoyable escapism, all set to music. Several of the original episodes featured visitors to the island, who inevitably left without sending help to rescue the castaways, usually due to some kind of foul-up by Gilligan. The musical follows suit with a visitor from a place far, far away, and that’s all I can tell you! Musical numbers in the show will be accompanied by a pit orchestra composed of Penns Valley students and graduates. The cast is as follows: Gilligan – Chris Markle The Skipper – Drew Gensimore Mr. Howell – Peter Kistler Mrs. Howell – Lydia Snyder Ginger – Jennifer Montminy The Professor – Ben Eberly Mary Ann – Melissa Bierly Gilligan’s Island – the Musical promises to be a lighthearted and enjoyable time for its audience, so come down to the Penns Valley High School auditorium, where “You’re sure to get a smile, from seven stranded castaways, here on Gilligan’s Isle!”

Seven Mountains Summer Music Fest in Potters Mills Article & photos by Karen Dabney
POTTERS MILLS – This year, the second annual Seven Mountains Summer Music Fest has expanded to two concerts instead of one. On July 24, the Amadeus Quartet performed music by J.C. Bach, Schubert, and Mozart at the Seven Mountains Wine Cellars in Potters Mills. The next concert, on Sunday, July 31, will feature harpists Ruth Hunter and Anne Sullivan playing classical works by Debussy, J.S. Bach, Satie, and other composers. The musical groups are ensembles of the Pennsylvania Centre Orchestra. Douglas Meyer, the Pennsylvania Centre Orchestra musical director, said the idea for the music festival was inspired by his first visit to the wine cellars. “I saw the wood ceiling and floor, snapped my fingers, and said we have to have music here.” Meyer said the irregular L-shape and the wood surfaces “work really well for chamber music. You can hear everything everywhere.” “We’re happy to have the summer festival here,” said Scott Bubb, co-owner of the Seven Mountains Wine Cellars. “There’s
The Amadeus Quartet played in the new Seven Mountains Wine Cellars Building, which is less than two years old and has fine acoustics. nothing that goes together better than this type of music and a good glass of wine.” Glasses of Seven Mountains’ award-winning wines were available for purchase during the concert. The Amadeus Quartet drew a sold-out crowd of 82, according to Patricia Roeber, vice president of the orchestra’s board. James Lyon, the PCO’s concertmaster and professor of violin at Penn State University, led the quartet, which also consisted of his wife and principal cellist for the PCO, Carol Lyon; his son, 17-year-old violist Nicolas Lyon; and Timothy Hurtz, professor of oboe at Penn State University, oboist with The Pennsylvania Quintet, and principle oboist for the PCO. The first piece was the Quartet in B flat by Johann Christian Bach (1735-1782). James Lyon said, “His music is seen as an important transition from the high baroque associated with his father [Johann Sebastian Bach] and the full-fledged classicism of Mozart....He was interested in beautiful melodies, cleaner lines, and a less dense framework.” Lyon said J.C. Bach did not employ the Baroque technique of counterpoint, the use of two contrasting, interwoven melodies. The Bach quartet, a work in two movements, focused on a very challenging but beautiful oboe part supported by the violin, viola, and cello. The music was bright, optimistic, uplifting and sweet, reminiscent of the promise of spring with a touch of pensiveness and longing to provide emotional

The second piece, the String Trio in B flat D.471 by Franz Schubert (1797-1828), was a one movement work written for the cello, viola, and violin. Lyon said Schubert’s work was written primarily in the style of the early Romantic Period but had Classical elements. The Schubert trio had a greater range of dynamics, and more passion and drama than the Bach piece. Schubert included some less melodious passages, including moments bordering on dissonance. The String Trio in B flat moved beyond the predominant happiness of the J.C. Bach piece to explore a wider range of emotions. According to Hurtz, the Quartet in F, K 370 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was written when the composer “took time off from his regular gig to go to Munich.” Mozart liked the playing of Frederic Ramm, the first oboe of the Munich Orchestra, and wrote this oboe quartet for him around 1781. “The music just flows and reflects his sense of humor,” said Hurtz. “He made the oboe player play many high ups [high notes, pushing the limits of the instrument]. Mozart either liked him or wanted to make him work.” During the performance, Hurtz played with visible concentration and effort. The music was beautiful. Contrary to custom, the audience applauded him and the other members of the quartet after the first movement for their successful performance. Hurtz described the very short second movement as “so beautifully written, so perfect that it’s complete at that length and doesn’t need more.” In the middle of the last movement, he said, Mozart decided to “get wacky” and use two time signatures at the same time. “At one point I play the oboe in 2/2 time and the strings continue in 6/8 time.” Hurtz did not know of another instance of this technical innovation in music prior to Mozart. The Amadeus Quartet played a memorable evening of music, enhanced by the excellent acoustics and intimate size of the venue. The next concert will be held at 5:30 p.m. on July 31 in the Seven Mountains Wine Cellars, located on Decker Valley Road, off US Route 322 in Potters Mills. Harpists Hunter and Sullivan will play J. S. Bach’s French Suite No. 6, Claude Debussy’s Clair de Lune, and works by Jean Philippe Rameau, Cesar Franck, Erik Satie, and Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.

Cast Spells â&#x20AC;&#x153;Successâ&#x20AC;? at Millbrook By Pat Park
Stage & Screen
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is currently playing at Millbrook Playhouse and it is full of talent. This is the second time this summer that I have seen Spelling Bee and I am not sure how I feel about the play itself, but I am positive about its
ability to showcase talent. The plot is simple; 11 middle school students have gathered to compete in a spelling bee. The audience gets a chance to get to know quite a bit about them as the contest progresses. The unique thing about the play is that it depends on the cast to be able to improvise freely. In fact four of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;contestantsâ&#x20AC;? are randomly chosen from the audience, requiring the hostess of the Bee to use some very original biography material about them. Many of the cast members have been regulars at Millbrook and it was fun to see a different side to some of them. Space does not allow for me to go into the details that they deserve. Moderating the Bee were realtor Rona Lisa Perretti, played by Jamie Beth Weist, and Vice Principal Douglas Panch, played by Jon Erkert. The two of them were responsible for most of the ad libs required by the show. The student contests were David Raposo, Allyssa Schmitt, James David Larson, Marc de la Concha, Stephanie Mieko Cohen, and Eleanor McCormick. If you think that you have seen any of this group before, wait until you see them in this
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee runs through July 31 at the Millbrook Playhouse. show. Brandon Hanks had the fun job of not only playing Mitch Mahoney, the man doing community service, but several of the fathers. The details that each actor brought to his role made each adolescent stand out. I am sure that much of the credit for the freshness of this production goes to Dax Valdes, the director and choreographer. The season is almost to an end so I should not be surprised what these people are capable of. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee will run until July 31. Following it on the Main Stage will be The Odd Couple. Fat Pig opened July 28 on the Cabaret Stage. The final show will be Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Misbhavinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the Cabaret.

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.
