Letters To The Editor
By Sandie Biddle, managing editor Editor@CentreCountyGazette.com CCGazette@Hughes.net
I’ve been looking forward to August 5 for months – It’s The Gazette Night at the Spikes game! It’s special because we’ll be able to meet many of our loyal readers in person, and can introduce ourselves to many neighbors who haven’t yet discovered The Gazette. If you can make it to Medlar Field at Lubrano Park this evening for the 7:05 p.m. Spikes vs the Jamestown Jammers game, stop at The Gazette table and say, “hello.” We’ll have free t-shirts, balloons, and some nice prizes to give away during the game. Like the little tykes on the cover, we’re always happy to welcome Gazette fans of all ages. This issue is packed with beautiful photos and upbeat articles about Centre County events and projects. Sam “Motorhead” Stitizer got all revved up about The Last Cruise last weekend, and brings you his photos and observations. You’ll find a photo spread of local farmers’ markets, a colorful model air show event, and reviews of a number of local plays and concerts. Good deeds abound. See the write-up about a new Pink Day event, find out how to help with a senior food drive, or sign up for a charity golf tournament. Perhaps you’d like to adopt a new best friend. There’s a cute pair of canine buddies spotlighted by Pets Come First. Learn what it was like in Vietnam through last weekend’s PA Military Museum reenactment, Vietnam Revisited. Find out about the cultivation and uses for lavender from Amy Debach Confer, get a recycling tip from Amy Shirf, and read our weekly book review from Pat Park. If you’re at a loss for things to do, check out upcoming rummage sales, craft shows, chicken barbecues, seminars, charity walks, club meetings, support groups, and live concerts. We’ve published a taste of what’s in store at the Bellefonte Arts and Crafts Fair August 19 and 20, plus we’re digging for all the info for Ag Progress Days and The Grange Fair for upcoming issues. I also have writers working on articles about a new Catholic school, a kids’ summer “boot camp,” a local stock market game competition for high schoolers, and news of the upcoming school year. Lest we forget – the elephant (uh, Lion) in the room. It will soon be time for Penn State and high-school football. Les and Matt are can’t wait for the first kickoffs. Thanks to all who make The Gazette a true community newspaper – our writers, our readers, our advertisers, our sales and art staff, our volunteer reporters and photographers, and you, the folks who send us your good news. Keep it coming!

Selecting a college is the first adult decision that young people make – and it’s one that carries enormous financial and personal investment. These factors make selecting the right college imperative. According to Heather Ricker-Gilbert, a college admissions consultant who calls Centre County her home, about one in 10 college students use a private consultant to insure that they pick the right school for them. She says in many high schools, guidance counselors see such a high volume of students that individually guiding them through the college process is not feasible. An independent admissions college consultant works one-on-one with a student, listening to their interest, goals, and talents and helping with applications to colleges that meet their financial situation. Ricker-Gilbert began working as a college admissions consultant in 2004, after a long career in higher education that included performing roles as administration and faculty at institutions including Penn State, University of Connecticut, and Eastern Connecticut State University. While working with students both in-person and long distance, she considers her primary goal to help young people start thinking about their futures. The first step for students working with a consultant is to develop a

preliminary list of schools. There are more than 3,000 universities in the United States and Canada. Universities fall into five major categories. Some schools offer intense concentration on selected majors, such as business schools, like Babson College or conservatories, like the Julliard School. Small liberal arts colleges like Allegheny College or Juniata, feature a few vocational majors and low student-to-teacher ratios. Large public universities, such as Penn State or Virginia Tech, offer a wide range of majors and options. Some schools primarily teach comprehensive college masters programs in specific fields such as speech pathology, criminal justice, or nursing. There are also private research universities, like Tufts University. For high school students applying for college, Ricker-Gilbert offers the following advice: Start the process early. Senior year of high school can get busy. As early as sophomore year, students should be looking at colleges. Schools like to know that students are interested, so maintaining contact with a school is imperative. Make an early decision. Applying to a school early lets them know that they are your top choice, which can work to the applicant’s advantage. Plan to have a sound educational experience. College should first and foremost be thought of as academic
Heather Ricker-Gilbert College Consultant and broadening experience. Most of your time and energy should be spent on academics, and you will meet new people and have new experiences along the way. Contact the financial aid office and the internship and career services placement. Many schools offer support in finding an internship. Some colleges, like Connecticut College, provide a stipend for students completing internships. Applying for college should be a fun, self-awareness and self-growth activity, says Ricker-Gilbert. After living in Connecticut, she’s glad be to bring her business back to central PA. “I’m coming back to a community that I know and want to make a contribution to.� For more information on applying for college and Ricker-Gilbert’s consultant service, visit collegegateways.com.

Plastic Plant Containers By Amy Schirf, Centre County Solid Waste Authority
Recycling Tip from CCSWA This February, Lowe’s launched a nationwide Garden Center recycling program to help keep rising mounds of plastic nursery containers out of landfills. During a three-month pilot test in 22 stores, Lowe’s accepted 230,000 pounds of plastic plant containers for reuse or recycling. Lowe’s has expanded the recycling program to all stores in the continental United States – more than 1,700 locations. Acknowledging that plastic nursery containers are not accepted in Centre County’s recycling program, Lowe’s Garden Center recycling program gives consumer’s a responsible recycling option for their plastic plant containers. Lowe’s in State College provides a cart for customers to return plastic plant trays, pots and tags, regardless of their condition or where their plants were purchased. Lowe’s also provides recycling centers in its stores for customers to recycle rechargeable batteries, cell phones, compact fluorescent light bulbs, and plastic shopping bags.

Before I started reading One Hundred Years of Solitude I knew some things about its history. I knew that Gabriel Garcia Marquez had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for it. I knew that he was a South American author and that I had read his Love in the Time of Cholera and had enjoyed that story. I did not know how divided readers were about the book. When I mentioned

that I was finally getting around to reading One Hundred Years of Solitude, half of the people I spoke to said that it was the best thing that they had ever read; the other half hated it. Now I was really intrigued. The years of solitude refer to the isolation of a small village by the name of Macondo somewhere in South America. It is a village of 20 adobe houses settled along a
small river. In the beginning it is so new that things have not been named. Nobody had ever died in Macondo. When the gypsies came, they brought wonderful, magical things to the people in the small village. Soon the village found the world coming to its doors. Now illnesses, distrust, and finally, war find them. The story is told through the family of Jose Arcadio Buendia and his wife Ursula Iguaran. Each of their descendents face the new problems of the new
world – especially the wars. The problem for the reader is that each new member of the family bears the same name as another member of the family. Each person was more than a character in the book; each one also was meant to be a symbol of what was happening in the history of village. I have to admit that I got very confused. This may be a book that takes more than one reading to fully understand. I could appreciate the beautiful, poetic language and even most of the symbolism, but on first reading, I was mainly – well – confused. This may be a book that I need to either attend a class or find great study notes to help me appreciate why it received the Nobel Prize.

How You Can Help Food Drive for Local Seniors In Need Contributed by Comfort Keepers
At least one in nine seniors are at-risk of going hungry due to the inability to obtain sufficient food for their household or having to choose between food and medical care. During August, Comfort Keepers in State College is asking the community to make food donations to the STOP Senior Hunger food drive to help local seniors and raise awareness for this growing epidemic that impacts millions of older Americans trying to remain healthy and independent. “Hunger Action Month is in September, but seniors go hungry all year,” said David Hellyer, owner, of the State College franchise. “We can’t fight every factor affecting hunger, but we can start here in our community by creating awareness about the issue and helping family members become more aware of the signs of hunger and malnutrition.” Hunger can lead to malnutrition and other serious health problems in seniors. In fact, it is estimated that as many as 85 percent of seniors in the care of others are at risk for malnutrition. Malnutrition is the result of the body not absorbing enough nutrients due to inaccessibility. Signs of malnutrition may include sudden weight gain or loss, bruising, or dental difficulties, sudden changes in taste, or a general disinterest in eating. For seniors, malnutrition means the potential for increased hospital stays, increased health complications, early entry into assisted living facilities and premature death. In response to a growing need for awareness about senior hunger, the Comfort Keepers system has launched a nationwide campaign called STOP Senior Hunger to create awareness for the importance of a healthy diet for those 65 and over. This senior nutrition campaign aims to help seniors preserve their independence by providing diet and nutrition information, encouragement and necessities. In the local market, Comfort Keepers in State College has placed food collection bins at the following locations: • Comfort Keepers, 915A Benner Pike, State College • HealthSouth, 550 West College Avenue, Pleasant Gap • Hearthside Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, 450 Waupelani Drive, State College • Coleville Wesleyan Church, 326 Lower Coleville Road, Bellefonte • State College Food Bank, 276 West Hamilton Avenue For more information or if you would like to help on the local STOP Senior Hunger campaign, please contact your local Comfort Keeper office at (814) 861-1600.

VIETNAM Revisited 2011 By Jillian Decker
The weather was incredibly hot and humid, much like a typical day in Vietnam. Last weekend started at a thick and muggy 93 degrees on Saturday, beating the historical average by more than 10 degrees. Sunday did not offer relief from the heat, dropping only to 90 with a sudden summer storm that teased us with cool rain, breaking up the sweltering heat that threatened to suffocate us through our uniforms. Though we were not stationed in Vietnam in the 1960s, we could begin to relate to the soldiers who fought the Viet Cong in these conditions for nearly 20 years. Our camp was set on the grounds of the Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg. For the museum’s fifth annual combat bivouac, “VIETNAM Revisited,” museum volunteers partnered with the re-enactors of the “A” Company, 1/7th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division to recreate a weekend of living history from the days in Vietnam. The reenactment incorporated authentic weapons and equipment handled and demonstrated by a mix of novice and seasoned re-enactors, retired veterans of the Army, Navy, and Marines, and active-duty military volunteers. Acclaimed as one of the best public educational living history events in Central Pennsylvania, VIETNAM Revisited offered an authentic glimpse of how life was in Vietnam for the American troops. The living history exhibit included various displays of genuine Vietnam-era supplies, such as an extensive collection of medical supplies issued by the Red Cross for field Reenactor Allan Beckwith lets nurses and medical tents provided one of the younger visitors by Pete and Bruce Michel. An make the call back to base at army truck outfitted with authenthe endpoint of the patrol. tic and replica weapons and other military equipment supplied by members of the 1/7th Cav. 1st Cavalry Division re-enactors. As part of the Greater Pennsylvania Military Preservation Association, the re-enactors strive Pete Michel firing into the woods at the to foster “learning and Viet Cong who ambushed the patrol.
Volunteers at VIETNAM Revisited, from left to right: Aaron Heiner of Pittsburgh, Pete Michel of Philadelphia, Allan Beckwith of Altoona, Jillian Decker of Stroudsburg, Joseph Horvath of State College, Scott Beall of Huntingdon, John Wagner, Sr. of Altoona, and Bruce Michel of Philadelphia. remembrance for all those who served by working with educators, and re-enactors to create a safe, fulfilling, and academically enriching environment for historic preservation.” Along with the equipment and supplies on display, VIETNAM Revisited allowed visitors to join the re-enactors on patrol through the woods. These patrols were led by armed soldiers, one stationed in the front at “point” to draw the attention of the visitors to any booby-traps the Viet Cong may have placed on the patrol paths, such as trip wires attached to grenades or Punji stake pits hidden in the underbrush. During the patrols, other volunteers donned the garb of the Viet Cong, running through the tree line to get a clear shot at a potential ambush of the American soldiers. Visitors on the patrols often caught brief glimpses of the enemy darting through the trees, unsure if it was their imagination running away with them or the Viet Cong waiting to attack. At the end of the path, near the site of the former Pebble Beach, the soldiers used a field telephone to call back to base with an update on their position and report any sightings of the Viet Cong. The patrol then made their way back to the base by way of a different series of paths through the woods, ever wary of the Viet Cong watching them from the trees. During two information sessions held each afternoon, Joseph Horvath, the Education Director of the Pennsylvania Military Museum, gathered the visitors on the hillside of the bivouac to explain to them the history surrounding the reenactment. He explained the background of the Vietnam War and the United States’ role in the conflict. Horvath then used Pete Michel as a model GI to demonstrate how a typical United States soldier would dress for patrol and the kinds of equipment that he would be carrying. “I am fascinated by the

Re-enacting allows me to bring to the public this look at the Pete Michel and Bruce Michel manning individual and see what the medical tent demonstration. they wore, weapons, equipment, et cetera, and explain to them about it all.” After going over the historical context of the event, a patrol made only of re-enactors and volunteers would make its way into the woods, broadcast over live radio to the “Tactical Operations Center” manned by Colonel Pannebaker who relayed the calls to the visitors on the hillside. Much like in Vietnam, direct contact with the troops in the woods was not possible, so the visitors experienced the patrol action through radio traffic between Michel in the woods and Colonel Pannebaker at the firebase; the visitors could hear and see glimpses of the firefight between the U.S. patrol and the Viet Cong in the distance through the thick underbrush. Within the woods, the re-enactors used genuine weapons to exchange fire between the American squad and the handful of Viet Cong who ran through the trees. In the woods with the patrol, I was hit by several hot casings that flew from the weapons of Pete Michel, Allan Beckwith, and Scott Beall. Though the ammunition used were harmless blanks, the audible and concussive effect of actual rounds being fired made the entire experience incredibly authentic. Several veterans of the Vietnam War stopped to experience the reenactment, taking the time to talk and joke with our volunteers and re-enactors about the realism of the event and to tell us stories about their time in Vietnam. As expressed by Colonel Pannebaker, “To me, this is what re-enacting is all about. Educating and being educated by those who were there.” VIETNAM Revisited is an annual event held at the Pennsylvania Military Museum every July.

“Pink Day� Fundraiser Held at Wheatfield Nursery By Sam Stitzer
POTTER TOWNSHIP – The Central PA Nittany Shop With Heart vendor collective partnered with Wheatfield Nursery to host Pink Day, on Saturday, July 30, as a fundraiser to support The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Wheatfield Nursery, located along route 322 in Potter Township, was the site of this event which ran from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pink Day is a part of the Invincibelle™ Spirit Campaign to raise $1 million for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Invincibelle™ Spirit is a variety of flowering hydrangea plant which begins blooming in late May to early June and continues blooming right up until frost. The flowers emerge a dark, hot pink color and mature to a light dusty pink. For every Invincibelle™ Spirit sold, $1 was donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Wheatfield Nursery also donated 10 percent of their proceeds from the day to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The Pink Day event began Wheatfield Nursery sold Invincibelle at 11 a.m. with competitive demonhydrangeas. strations by members of the Pennsylvania Professional Lumberjack Organization – all wearing pink in support of breast cancer research! Instead of a ribbon cutting, this event opened with a log cutting, via a two-man (or in this case, woman) saw tearing through a ten inch log in a matter of seconds! The lumberjacks (and Jills) gave several other lumberjack demonstrations, includDarlene O’Neal sold handmade soaps ing chopping through thick blocks and body care products. of wood with axes, axe throwing,

and one incredible 40-horsepower chain saw! The chain saw uses an engine from a Suzuki RM125 motorcycle, with an oversize carburetor and a tuned exhaust pipe. Its owner, Chris Cicora, takes the saw and his lumberjack skills to contests and demonstrations all around the country as a member of the Pennsylvania Professional Lumberjack Organization. In operation, the saw is impressive, ripping through huge logs in seconds with an earsplitting roar. I loved it! Several vendors were on site at Pink Day. I spoke to Shawn Markel, of Tomboy Tools. Her line of tools has been feminized by their pink color, but they are high quality, serious tools for the female do-it-yourselfer. Shawn sells the tools in home party format, and conducts workshops, teaching women how to use tools, and spreading the gospel that using tools is not just part of a man’s world anymore! Shawn was donating part of her profits to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Darlene O’Neal represented Soap Sprite, a company which produces natural handmade soaps. Some of the soap was labeled lye soap. Lye soap? You mean that awful smelly stuff my mom made 50 years ago? No, says Darlene. Although some lye is still used in soap making, it is a very precise, scientific process, involving many ingredients. Darlene’s line of soaps includes a wide range of pleasant aromas, and none of them stink like that old soap Mom used to make! Free food and drinks were available thanks to Centre Court Starbucks and Tastefully Simple Representative Cindy Gray of Potters Mills. Later, Dairy Maid Heather Wasson stopped by with free ice cream from the Meyer Dairy in State College. The flavor? Strawberry, because it’s pink, of course! Musical entertainment was provided by an as yet unnamed band from the Lancaster area. They played an eclectic repertoire of vintage rock and blues. The Pink Day event was organized by Melissa Berrier, who is an employee of Wheatfield Nursery, and Cathy Walton of Nittany Shop With Heart. Both were pleased by the turnout for this event, and for the nearly perfect weather. It was an enjoyable event for all, and it helped to raise funds for research that may someday find a cure for breast cancer.

Pirate Parrot Entertains Medlar Field Crowd as Spikes Win By Les Barnhart Photos courtesy of Tim Weight
The famed Pirate Parrot, arguably one of the greatest team mascots landed in Medlar Field at Lubrano Park last Saturday along with several of his friends. The Parrot entertained fans along with his host, Ike the Spike, while the State College Spikes battled and eventually defeated the Lowell Spinners. The Parrot rode his trike out on the field to start the evening before throwing out the first pitch. He spent the rest of the night mugging for photos, harassing umpires, miming “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” and providing the fans an opportunity to see the best professional baseball mascot in Pennsylvania do his thing.

Raise the Jolly Roger By Matt Masullo
I’ll be the first to admit it, I was skeptical writing about the first place Pirates last week. Ask anyone who knows me, and they will admit that I am superstitious. As I was writing about how well the upstart Pirates had been playing as of late, right in the midst of arguably their toughest stretch of the season, they proceed to lose two of four to the Braves, get swept by the Phillies, and dropped the first two games of a three game set to the Chicago Cubs, who are 16.5 games out of first place for those keeping score at home. Just like that, the Bucco’s are back near the .500 mark and 5.5 games out of first place in the NL Central behind the Brewers and Cardinals. Pirates fans can blame the teams latest slide on this sportswriter. Don’t tell the Bucco’s they are reverting to old habits though. Right at the trade deadline, the Pirates designated the $5 million dollar mistake, Lyle Overbay, for assignment, and traded for Derek Lee and Ryan Ludwick. In years past, they would have traded Neil Walker, Andrew McCutchen or Pedro Alvarez for prospects. Overbay was to be the Pirates biggest offseason acquisition. He turned into the biggest offseason blunder. It can be argued that the upgrade at First Base with the signing of Lee is only a band-aid, but
anything was better than the performance they were getting from Overbay. Ludwig sures up the outfield temporarily, until Jose Tabita and Alex Pressley get healthy. The Pirates schedule in the coming month doesn’t get easier. After a four-game home stand with the Cubs, and a three-game home stand with the Padres, the Pirates travel to the defending World Series Champion San Francisco Giants and the NL Central leading Milwaukee Brewers. The remainder of the month consists of two more series with the Cardinals, and one more each with the Brewers, Astros and Reds. If the Pirates are going to be contenders, and not early-to-midseason pretenders, they need to put up strong performances against their NL Central foes. And if somehow, someway the Bucco’s make a comeback; I will have to look at the glass as half-empty, because the second I see it half-full, Pirates fans will be knocking on my door.

Menard Conquers Indy
By Matt Masullo
Paul Menard held off the inaugural Brickyard 400 champ Jeff Gordon in the closing laps to capture the flag at the Brickyard 400 on Sunday. It was Menard’s first career Nascar Sprint Cup Series victory, and only his second career Nascar victory. His other victory came in 2006 in the Nationwide Series. Menard’s victory marked the fourth time this season that the Series featured a new winner, following Trevor Bayne at the Daytona 500, Regan Smith at Darlington and David Ragan at the second Daytona race. Menard’s family has a long history at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, dating back the 1980’s when his father would bring him to the Indianapolis 500 each year. With the win, Menard jumped to 14th spot in the current Chase for the Cup standings. Rounding out the top five behind Menard and Gordon were Regan Smith, Jamie McMurray and Matt Kenseth.
Keystone Wins Pennsylvania Little League Title
Bald Eagle Area Wins VFW Gazette Night at Medlar Area 5 Teener League Title Field Sure to be a Hit! Team Opens Play in State Tournament at 10am on Friday By Les Barnhart Bald Eagle Area came back twice in their last two at-bats last Saturday and pulled out an 8-7 win over host Huntingdon in the final game of the tournament. Dylan Womer’s solo home run in the bottom of the seventh inning served to tie the game before Ryan Dyke reached base after being hit by a pitch. Bryan Greene came on and pinch ran for Dyke and promptly stole second before scoring the game winning run on an RBI single by Bubba Bennett. The win completed an undefeated 9-0 run in the roundrobin tournament. Bald Eagle Area proved they can stay focused as they had already clinched a berth in the state tournament after their 9-6 win over Mount Union on Wednesday secured the VFW Area 5 Teener League title. Logan Reese had three hit in that win to pace the offense while Nate Cleaver got the win on the mound. Bald Eagle Area will open play in the state tournament, being held in Huntingdon, starting at 10am on Friday morning. Good luck, boys!
Team Advances to Mid-Atlantic Regional in Bristol, CN By Les Barnhart STATE COLLEGE- The Keystone 11-12 year old All-Star team may not get to play on ESPN but they will have a chance to visit the Worldwide Leader in Sports as they will head to Bristol, Connecticut this weekend to open play in the Mid-Atlantic Regional. They advanced to Bristol after winning the Pennsylvania Little League title this past weekend in a tournament played in State College. Keystone, a team comprised of players from Clinton County, rolled through the state tournament before suffering a 5-4 loss to West Point in game one of the finals. That loss forced a “winner takes all” second game between the two teams. In that second game, Keystone’s Talon Falls drilled two home runs including a two-run shot in the top of the first inning that gave
his team an early 2-0 lead. West Point scored three in the home half of the inning to take a 3-2 lead. Another home run, this one a three run shot off the bat of Brandon Miller in the second inning, gave the lead back to Keystone and it would be one they would not give back. The second of Falls’ home runs came in the third inning as he launched a solo blast over the left field wall to put his team up 6-3. Keystone would then put the clamps on the potent West Point offense, allowing just one more run throughout the rest of the game as they would post a 6-4 win. Congratulations to the Keystone All-Star team. Good luck in the Bristol, make Pennsylvania proud!!

Black Moshannon Shooting Range Re-Opens Legislators recognize persistence of club officials as reason for agreement
State Reps. Matt Gabler (R-Clearfield/Elk) and Kerry Benninghoff (R-Centre/Mifflin) and U.S. Congressman Glenn “GT” Thompson (R-25th District) are congratulated the Philipsburg Rod and Gun Club on the 10-year lease agreement signed with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) that will allow the club to re-open its shooting range at Black Moshannon State Park. The club, which has been operating on its current site since prior to the establishment of the state park, has been without a lease and unable to operate since 2005. At that time, concerns were raised about the effects of accumulated lead shot on the ground. The club contracted with skilled professionals in the shooting range management field to propose an effective means of mitigating the lead and responsibly managing the local environment for future generations. The members issued the following statement in reaction to the signing: “The return of trap shooting to the range in Black Moshannon State Park marks a great day for the sportsmen and sportswomen in Central Pennsylvania who belong to the historic Philipsburg Rod and Gun Club. It is unfortunate that this 23-acre facility was closed and outdoor enthusiasts were kept from enjoying an activity they love. What’s important is that a plan is in place that will ensure good stewardship of the land on which the range sits while allowing for recreational activity that has been a hallmark of the club for more than 60 years. “It was truly an honor for us to assist the Philipsburg Rod and Gun Club in reaching this goal. We applaud the contributions of Representative Scott Hutchinson, DCNR Secretary Richard Allan, and Senators John Eichelberger and John Wozniak for all the help they have given in bringing this issue to a positive resolution. However, the greatest recognition for this agreement coming together goes to club President Dave Laux and club Secretary Paul Bobby. The perseverance of these gentlemen, from even the simplest paperwork to the impressive list of professionals in the shooting range management field from whom they solicited opinions, has resulted in club members soon being able to again take part in this sport that celebrates our local outdoor heritage.”

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.

Four members of the Mach One Slalom Team reached the U.S.A. Junior Team Trials in Wausau, WI last weekend, but only Ethan Van Horn and Ethan Diefenbach both of Bellefonte were eligible due to age limitations. His sister Evelyn and Chance Blakeslee also of Bellefonte competed to gather experience for future trials. In the two races comprising the trials, Ethan Van Horn placed sixth and seventh place in the kayak class, respectively, with scores of 119 and 123 seconds. This placed him in a tie for sixth place in the team selections at 20.4 percent behind the leader, Michal Smolen of Charlotte, NC. Ethan Diefenbach scored times of 172 and 248 seconds in his two runs to place 24th of all the men’s kayak competitors. Evelyn Van Horn led all the girls in the women’s kayak class at the end of the first day with a 153 second score but slipped to a fifth place score in the second slalom in 170 seconds. Evelyn at 14 years old is only a cadet paddler. When the percentages were calculated, she ended up in fourth place amongst the team listings with a 7.3 percent behind the leader,

The Good Doctor: Laughter is Great Medicine By Pat Park
Stage & Screen
Penn State Centre Stage presented Neil Simon’s The Good Doctor this week and if there ever was ever a show to delight the theatre lover, this is it. Of course with Neil Simon and Anton Chekov given credit as the authors, one would expect the dialogue to be witty and sharp.
The “good doctor” of the title refers to Chekov. As a medical student, Chekov wrote humorous short stories, articles, and comic sketches; today he is better known for his serious plays. Neil Simon has taken some of his lighter works and turned them into an evening of oneact-plays. Eight different plays give the cast of seven a chance to show quite a range in talents. With the help of good wigs, make-up, and costumes each actor was instantly in character. Erik Raymond Johnson was the one constant in the show. As “The Writer” he acted as narrator and kept things moving along; he even gave an alternate ending to several stories. One of the treats for a lover of the theatre is to watch an actor assume a variety of roles. This collection of plays provided a perfect opportunity for the actors to do this and they did it well.
Lance Beilstein was heavily in make-up as older gentlemen and not always recognizable most of the time, but he was a stand-out in The Seduction where he explained that he was an expert at seducing other men’s wives. I really thought that Carrie McNulty was an older actress in her scene as the employer cheating her governess; she went on to be the hardened prostitute and the young actress at her first audition. The Audition was particularly well done except that Ms McNutly spoke so softly in one spot, causing some lines to be lost. At times showing a great sense of physical comedy, Thomas Ellis Riley, Kira Lance Hawkins, Josephine Wilson, and Zack Sudbury were outstanding. As always, Penn State Centre Stage did an impressive job. Credit goes to Robert W. Schneider for directing a smooth, fast-paced show. Scenic Designer, Lino Toyos, and Costume Designer, Adam Coffia, made it a beautiful comedy.
Fat Pig is Big on Talent & Meaning Fat Pig is currently playing on Watching Nicholas in his earlier the Cabaret Stage at Millbrook Playroles this season made this perforhouse and the author, Neil LaBute, mance even more impressive. has a definite point to make.

Gilligan’s Island – the Musical: Inspires a Sea of Laughter & Goodwill Article & photos by Sam Stitzer
A group of recent Penns Valley High School graduates presented Gilligan’s Island – the Musical in the high school auditorium on July 29 to 31. This musical was the brain child of Peter Kistler, a 2010 Penns Valley graduate, and lifelong fan of the Gilligan’s Island TV show. Peter discovered that a musical version of the show had been produced, and the script could be purchased for local productions. He figured it would make a good show for him and his friends to put on as a fundraiser for the Penns Valley HOPE Fund charity. He was right! Peter served as director and portrayed Thurston Howell in the musical. I attended the Sunday afternoon performance, and it was great! These kids have several years of acting and The Professor (Ben Eberly), the Skipper (Drew Gensimore), and Gilligan (Chris Markle) discover Hieroglyphics in a cave. musical experience from their high school days, and it really showed in their performances. Their timing and delivery, so man, Rob Markle did a great job managing the mikes, as well important in comedy, were spot-on throughout the entire as a host of sound effects. Director Peter Kistler said the cast had to “walk a fine performance. The musical’s plot was a composite of several of the old line between copying the old TV show and adding touches Gilligan’s Island episodes. Gilligan discovers some hiero- to make it our own.” They walked that tightrope like the glyphics on a cave wall, and the professor interprets them Flying Wallendas, in perfect balance, never slipping off.

A touch of political Island castaways, musicals like this will be “here for a long, satire surfaces when the professor says the rocket will land long time” in Penns Valley.

The play weaves through several other plot elements, such as a passing hurricane which the castaways think has killed Gilligan, romantic inferences between Gilligan and Mary Ann, and the return of the alien, who provides a device to beam the castaways to Hawaii. But in their celebratory dancing, Gilligan drops the device, and destroys it, emphasizing the truth in the TV theme song lyric “they’re here for a long, long time.” Scattered throughout the play were about 18 Ginger encourages the Skipper to Ginger (Jennifer Montminy) tries seductively songs performed with great skill by the talented pedal a generator to launch a rocket, to get the Professor’s attention. cast, and their accompanying pit orchestra. steadied by Gilligan.

Centre of the Music Scene
Jay T. Vonada Quartet – “JAMMIN’” Article & review by Don Bedell
If you’ve paid any attention to the local music scene lately, you must have heard of the name Jay Vonada. He seems to be everywhere. He has a trio that has played at Zola’s in Downtown State College among other venues, he has a duo called “J-Mac” that has played throughout the area including Bella Sicilia in Centre Hall and Kaarma Indian Cuisine in State College. He’s played with the Zeropoint Big Band that plays monthly at the American Ale House. He was featured at this year’s JazzPA Festival in Bellefonte last month and also leads the Jay T. Vonada Quartet. Vonada is a trombonist and a native of Aaronsburg. He’s a graduate of Penns Valley Area High School and Mansfield University where he studied jazz improvisation and jazz arranging. In 1999, he also won a scholarship to study at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. After college, Vonada continued to perform in the pit orchestra at Penns Valley H.S. from 1999-2001. He also performed for Bald Eagle Area H.S. from 2002-2004, for performances of Singing OnStage. He was with the Valley Jazz Orchestra from 2004-2007, Jazz Innate from 2003-2005 and was lead trombonist with the Keystone Society of Swing Big Band from 2001-2006. He also plays in a trombone quartet called Trombone Chowder, a five trombone and rhythm section jazz group called Slide Zone and a jazz sextet called Liquid Jazz. Whew! Got all that straight? Somehow, Vonada and his bandmates in the Jay T. Vonada Quartet had time to record a debut CD in 2008. The CD entitled
“Jammin’” features piano, bass and drums behind Vonada’s lead trombone. All the compositions and arrangements on the album were done by Vonada himself and were recorded at S.A.S. Studio in Houserville. Jammin’ opens with A Blues, a song that swings and sets the tone for the remaining seven tracks that follow it. I get the picture of being in a smoke-filled, basement jazz club in New York City as Vonada and crew roll the tracks on this CD. The Quartet stays true to form in the bebop tradition of jazz improvisation but offers styles ranging from swing to Latin to funk. The second track, Three Tons, for example opens with a Latin-infused bass line that almost feels like a peppier version of Spanish Harlem before it kicks in to the song’s main theme. Anthracite swings and it swings hard – laying down a groove that never lets up until the song ends. Vonada slows it down for RoseAnn. It’s a song that gives you the feeling that maybe ‘RoseAnn’ is about a love gone cold. Finally the Quartet gets funky closing out the eight-song offering with Funk ‘n Blues. Jammin’ is well recorded and the musicianship is top notch. In addition to Vonada on trombone, the album features Adam Kurland on keyboards, Jacob Hibel on Bass and John Sullivan on drums. All are from the Centre Region and Sullivan is also a Penns Valley graduate. Jammin’ is available when Vonada plays live or you can find it on cdbaby.com.
