Editor’s Prologue

A History of Stewardship

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

Last week at this time, I hadn’t been to a baseball game since a boyfriend took me to see the Phillies in the ’70s. I forgot how much fun it is! In fact, my night at the Spikes game was more memorable than the big leagues, for a few good reasons. The Phillies game was bigger than life, a spectacle of big-city proportions. I didn’t know a soul except Ray and his sister.

The Spikes playing at Medlar Field was a hometown, all-American, apple-pie kind of experience – much safer, more intimate, and full of old neighbors and new friends. Medlar Field really impressed me with its bright new gadgets, big screens, and comforts. Easy in, easy out, not a bad seat in the house. Great food, plenty of giveaways, fun stuff for the kids, never a dull moment.

I confess to having thought baseball was boring, lasting a few innings too long. Not any more. Maybe it’s that way on TV, but not in person. The people-watching alone was worth the trip. Having my teenage niece, Abigail, with me made a big difference, too. Seeing it through her eyes, having her picture taken with Ike the Spike, explaining Nookie Monster to me, sharing fresh-squeezed lemonade and cheese fries. You’re never too old to feel like a kid again.

Thank you, Spikes guys, for inviting us to host Gazette Night at the game last Friday. If you’d like to go, games are scheduled through September 2.

There are more traditional central PA experiences before football and back-to- school take over. In this issue, we’ve focused on the children’s educational and fun events at Ag Progress Days. It’s not just tractors, farm animals, and green energy exhibits – though that’s a big attraction – it’s also packed with kids’ activities, 4-H, animals, games, rides, and experiences that could ignite a spark in future farmers.

Next week is the Bellefonte Arts & Crafts Fair. We’ve put the schedule of events in this issue, and will include more information in August 19, the day the event begins.

This issue, Sam Stitzer explores the Penns Valley tradition of community yard sales and a country carnival. Karen Dabney is the author of the first of many Hometown Success Stories, this one featuring a county couple who took late-life unemployment as an inspiration to open an award-winning winery. We also debut new columnist, author, and public speaker Tammy Miller, who will contribute a From the Heart column.

Pets became an accidental theme this issue, with articles and events pouring in from the SPCA, Pets Come First, PAWS, and our own Practical Pet column by Toni Duchi. Find out how you can adopt a cat at Petco this weekend, adopt a dog from Pets Come First, donate feline food to the SPCA, attend a spay-neuter clinic held by PAWS, and determine the value of carbs in your dogs’ food.

Tuesday there will be a chefs’ competition at the Boalsburg Farmers Market, The Odd Couple and Into the Woods is playing this weekend at Millbrook and the Boal Barn, experience Bellefonte Journey, a roaming theatre production, and check out free outdoor concerts in Lemont, Bellefonte, State College, Pennsylvania Furnace, and Milesburg.

The nation’s oldest, and last remaining, fair encampment will take center stage in a few weeks. In the next two issues, we’ll feature the Grange Fair – what’s old, what’s new, and why you should take in this remarkable, old-fashioned county fair experience.

Discover something fun in our own backyard this weekend. You’d be surprised how good this troubled world can look after reminding yourself that it’s the little things that count.

As we reported in the June 3 issue of The Gazette, the Julian Union Cemetery Association is charged with caring for that old burial ground.

However, the association was formed long before 2005.

Wayne Richards, now vice president of the association, comes from a long line of neighbors who have cared for this historic cemetery.

The land was acquired for the cemetery in 1924 and 1945.

The first piece cost just $40. The association was formed in 1950, with the first officers being CM Myers, president; Nora Breon, treasurer; and Nell Green, secretary.

In 1968, they started forming a plan for perpetual care, which was finalized in March of 1970.

Patricia (Myers) Harpster was one of the more recent volunteers. She’s cared for the cemetery since 1981. The first president, CM Myers was her grandfather. Her father Edward “EP” Myers preceded her in helping out.

Like Mrs. Myers, Wayne is following a family tradition of service. His uncle, Smith Richards, volunteered in the same era as EP Myers.

Surely many more unsung heroes will follow them in caring for the final resting places of their beloved ancestors, friends, and neighbors. The association is always happy to receive contributions and welcomes new volunteers.

BUSINESS BRIEF

THE

By Tammy Miller

Speaking in a public forum can be a love/hate relationship – some people love it and others, well, there is a reason that public speaking ranks high among the list of fears.

6. Breathe and Relax – Most presentations do not determine life and death. A clear, relaxed mind is much more effective.

August 7 was Professional Speakers Day, but you do not have to be a professional speaker to have the opportunity to speak in front of an audience. Maybe you are speaking in your workplace, church, a public meeting, or at your child’s school. There are many reasons to share your ideas, information and experiences.

7. Go With the Flow – Situations may arise regarding the equipment, the room, or the audience. Be ready for anything. Control what you can control, but also understand that there are things that you cannot control. Experience will help you deal with those unexpected situations.

The words that you speak are very important, of course, but there are several considerations before you even open your mouth.

This list may help you feel a little more comfortable the next time you are called upon to share a few words: 1. Know Yourself – Who are you and what do you want to talk about?

Believe in what you are saying. The best presentations come from the heart!

2. Know Your Audience – Why are they there? What do they expect to hear? What do they already know about your topic?

3. Practice Your Material – Own it.

Make sure you know what you are talking about and then start talking.

Don’t memorize your presentation.

There is great value in “being fresh” when delivering your information.

4. Know Your Room – Whenever possible, check out the room before you speak to see the layout, equipment, lighting, and sound. Have a contact person in case you have a question.

8. Gain Experience – Speak up every chance you get to add value – in a meeting; with a group of friends; any place you can speak. If you aren’t already a Toastmaster, join a club (www.toastmasters.org). It is a great experience with fantastic feedback, no matter what level of speaking you are doing or would like to do.

9. Have FUN! – Simple stated – life is too short not to have fun! Don’t forget to laugh and remember that you cannot always change the situation, but you can control how you respond.

10. It’s All Just Speech Material. Live your life…Love your life…and talk about it! Life is indeed just speech material!

Tammy Miller is a professional speaker, author, and presentation skills coach in the State College area. She is the author of My Life is Just Speech Material, and So is Yours: A Guide to What to Say and How to Say it, as well as her publications on breast cancer. Find out more about Tammy at: www.tammyspeaks.com.

5. See Yourself as a Success – The mind is extremely powerful as we see ourselves succeeding. Visualize your success.

The people in the audience want to see you succeed. Believe it and you will achieve it.

Do you question if a loved one is safe to continue, or should return to, driving?

Contact us for an assessment to determine if driving is a safe option.

THE GAZETTE - SERVING CENTRE COUNTY

There is something Dickensian about The Book of Ruth by Jane Hamilton. Ruth’s story is about resilience against the worst of odds; think Oliver Twist.

Ruth begins her story when she is around10 years old. That is when her father left in the middle of the night, leaving Ruth, her younger brother, Matt, and her mother, May. She knew that he would be happier picking grapefruit in Texas than living with May in Honey Creek, Illinois.

May shows great love and encouragement to Matt, who grows into the perfect student, graduates from high school, leaves Honey Creek and rarely contacts his family again.

With Ruth, May is mean and not in any way a supportive parent. At one point Ruth says that she feels like a plant that has been put in a pot and nobody remembers to water. The neglect that Ruth experiences at home has the expected affect in her school life. She has hand-me-down clothing that the other girls recognize, no one to see when she needs to start to wear a bra, and, of course, no help with schoolwork, only more responsibilities for housework.

Her lack of confidence has caused the school to put her in the “retarded� class and her one chance to be in a regular

English classroom is a disaster.

Because Ruth is telling her own story, the reader gets insight on how her creative mind works.

We see that her life has little chance of moving beyond its unhappiness, surrounded by narrow minds and cruelty.

Even the marriage that she is so excited about is doomed to end tragically.

Her husband can not keep a job; his days are filled with drinking and drugs. Everything points to a sad ending for Ruth and what had been dreams of a normal life.

Although this sounds like a very depressing book, surprisingly it is just the opposite. Ruth has such a unique way of looking at her world and the fortitude to get through so many horrible things She does meet a few people along the way who

Ruth made me think of all of our fellow classmates or people that we pass on the street that we ignore because they do not fit in our mold of the “right� people.

Those who live in the wrong part of town.

Ruth gives us a view of a person who could have so much and is given so little.

At the end of the book, as Ruth puts together her broken body, spirit, and life, we see what genuine hope looks like.

This is a wonderfully crafted book.

Jane Hamilton has a use of the English language that is fresh and beautiful. This was her first novel and the winner of The Pen/Ernest Hemingway Foundation Award. Ruth will stay with me for a very long time.

Practical Pet

the

By Toni Duchi

Sorting Out the Facts about Carbs

Those of you who follow my columns know that I feed my dogs a high protein, low-carb diet. Dogs don’t need a lot of carbs in their diet, and most low-quality dog kibble contains very high levels of low-quality carbs.

But dogs do need some carbs – they provide quick energy and perform other essential duties in the body. But there are lots of misconceptions about carbohydrates and I get lots of questions about them. Let’s sort out some fact from fiction.

Myth 1: Dogs can’t digest grains unless they are processed.

Fact: Decades of well-documented research have proven that dogs digest grains and carbohydrates quite well. Even though dogs lack salivary amylase, they tend not to chew their food; they’re gulpers, and don’t benefit from an oral digestive enzyme. Dogs, like humans, manufacture potent pancreatic amalyse and other enzymes to digest carbs, with most digestion occurring in the upper GI tract. There’s also a belief that a dog’s stomach is acidic and that dogs retain food in their stomachs longer than people, so a meat based diet is more appropriate. In fact, the pH range of the dog’s stomach is quite similar to that of humans – it ranges from 1.08 to 5.5 in dogs and in humans, it is from 1.0 to 4.0. The main difference is that the dog is actually more alkaline sometimes. Dogs can’t digest cellulose, a single structural carb used by plants to make stalks, seeds, and vegetables, but neither can humans (only some herbivores can). This is why to derive the most benefit from grains and vegetables, we should cook or finely grind them first.

Myth 2: Feeding carbs stresses the pancreas.

Fact: The job of the pancreas is to produce enzymes to digest fats, proteins and starches. During pancreatic inflammation (pancreatitis), those enzymes are released and cause inflammation and damage to the pancreas and surrounding organs and tissues.

To suppress production of the enzymes, vets suggest that you reduce the fat in the dog’s diet and feed high carbs.

Myth 3: Grains cause allergies.

Fact: Dogs can become allergic to certain foods if they have the genetic predisposition to develop food allergies. It has been found that dogs are most commonly allergic to beef, dairy, wheat, egg, chicken, lamb, soy, pork, rabbit, and fish. There have been reports of higher allergies to corn, but this may be because lots of kibbles have a lot of corn fillers now, more than ever before.

In fact though, grains do not constitute the majority of allergy offenders.

Few dog food labels list the food’s carbohydrate content. If it’s not there and you really want to know what it is, you can try calling the pet food manufacturer and asking for the food’s “caloric distribution.” This will tell you the percentage of the calories in the food that are from protein, its fat sources, and its carbohydrates. Don’t be surprised if the company won’t give you the information, though. They are not required to do so.

To roughly calculate the percentage of carbs in a food, look at the guaranteed analysis on the label and subtract the protein, fat, moisture, and ash content form 100 percent. The remainder is an approximate percentage of carbs in the kibble, including crude fiber.

The maximum amount of crude fiber – the portion of the food’s fiber that has no nutritional value – is required on the label. A relatively high crude-fiber percentage might signal low-quality fiber sources (fillers), or indicate an attempt at low-calorie fiber.

There is no reason to avoid carbs unless your dog has a specific issue that requires a low-carb diet. The best diet varies with each individual. Read labels, understand what you’re feeding, and feed the highest quality food you can afford. Pay attention to your dog’s overall condition and let that be your determining factor.

Chefs’ Competition at Boalsburg Farmers Market

By James Eisenstein

Local chefs will prepare two dishes with ingredients obtained from vendors at the Boalsburg Farmers Market as they compete for the “Golden Basket Award.”

The competition will be Tuesday, August 16 beginning at 2:30 p.m. at the market on the Pennsylvania Military Museum grounds.

Chefs will display dishes prepared at the restaurant, bring samples for the public to taste, or prepare them at the market for sampling.

They will also hand out free copies of their recipes.

The “Golden Basket Award” will be presented to the chef who prepares the best dishes as determined by our panel of judges – Patty Satalia from WPSU TV, State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham, Emily Wiley of WPSU’s Local Food Journey, and well-known Italian Chef Grace Pilato The competition

will highlight the variety of fresh, locally produced ingredients available at the market and demonstrate what dishes can be made from them.

According to Market Co-Manager Tony Sapia, “This will be a great opportunity to acquaint the public with the market, to show how local chefs use locally produced ingredients to make fantastic dishes, and to introduce area chefs to our market.”

Music will be provided by Moondog and Sam, and all of the products regularly for sale at the market will be available.

The market is open every Tuesday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Pennsylvania Military Museum on Business Route 322 in Boalsburg, the site of the People’s Choice Arts Festival, with ample and convenient free parking available.

PAWS Hosts Community Spay/Neuter Clinic

Low-income pet owners eligible for reduced-cost spay or neuter Contributed by PAWS

Did you know that just one unspayed female cat and her offspring can produce more than 470,000 cats in just seven years?

An unspayed female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in that same period of time. That’s what makes controlling the Centre County dog/cat population so important! Please help us publicize this event.

Centre County PAWS makes it easier than ever for low-income pet owners to get their dogs and cats spayed or neutered. Dr. John Griffiths of Metzger Animal Hospital and Dr. Mary Ellen Sayre will contribute their services during our community spay and neuter clinic. “So far this year, PAWS has helped Centre County pet owners alter 335 cats and dogs and we look forward adding to those numbers,” says Shelter Supervisor, Lisa Bahr.

PAWS is holding its community spay/ neuter clinic Saturday morning, August 13 at

Centre County PAWS on 1401 Trout Road, State College.

Centre County residents who work fulltime or meet income guidelines are eligible to register up to two of their pets for this clinic.

The cost is $30 for male cats, $40 for female cats and $40 for male dogs. All animals will be vaccinated for rabies unless a current rabies certificate is provided to PAWS. Distemper vaccines are available for $5. Feral cats and female dogs are not eligible for this clinic; however, owners of female dogs may apply for the PAWS Spay/Neuter Assistance Program at www.centrecountypaws.org/spay/voucher. cfm.

Pre-registration is required and residency and income restrictions apply. Proof of low income status is needed. To register a pet for the spay/neuter clinic call (814) 237-8722, ext. 5 or register on-line at www. centrecountypaws.org.

How You Can Help Donations Needed for SNAP

Centre County PAWS is asking for community support to help them reach their goal of raising $15,000 for their Spay Neuter Assistance Program(SNAP) so they can meet the growing need in the Centre County community and help end pet overpopulation.

Stone Valley Pet Lodge is helping PAWS reach their $15,000 goal by matching dollar

for dollar all SNAP donations, up to a total of $7,500, received between now and the end of August!

To support SNAP, donate online at w w w.centrecountypaws.org/donating/ spayneuter.cfm or mail your donation to Centre County PAWS, ATTN: SNAP Program, 1401 Trout Rd., State College, PA 16801.

Cat & Kitten Food Needed

The Centre Hall animal shelter is badly in need of dry cat and dry kitten food. The shelter is full of cats and kittens that need to be fed. The shelter asks for 9-Lives so they can keep the cats on the same diet, which prevents diarrhea and help reduce their stress. Food can be dropped off at the shelter and if they are closed left at the front door.

Saint John’ Episcopal Church, Bellefonte

Rotary Club Contributes to Children’s Library

Photo by Brian Baney History, with permission, from stjohnsepiscopal-bellefonte.org

There has been an Episcopal presence in Bellefonte since 1825, when Episcopalians began meeting in a cabinet-shop, then later at the local Masonic lodge.

As the congregation grew, Bellefonte was designated a regular supply station, supplied from Lewistown until the organization of St. John’s parish in 1836. George W. Natt, the first rector of “St. John’s Protestant Episcopal Church,” was selected as priest in 1838. His memories of being a parish priest in a frontier town make for lively reading.

The first house of worship was built in 1842, behind the Centre County courthouse. The cornerstone of the present church was laid in 1869; it opened on Easter Day, 1871, and was

consecrated by Bishop Howe in 1872. It is a stone edifice, built in Gothic revival style, and is today the last of the churches in Bellefonte to have a spire.

St. John’s and its rectors have been instrumental in establishing other Episcopal churches and missions in the area, notably Lock Haven and State College; it is the “Mother Church” in Centre County. Throughout its nearly 170-year history, St. John’s congregation has included many community leaders. Today, while maintaining its liturgical-centered worship, St. John’s prides itself on its diverse membership and its plans for renewed community outreach and service to Bellefonte and its surrounding area.

Jim’s Cuisine Rises from the Ashes Article & photo by Brian Baney

BELLEFONTE – Like the mythical firebird, the Phoenix, Jim’s Italian Cuisine has risen from the ashes, to soar ever higher.

As you may recall, Jim’s Cuisine, located on Cherry Lane in Bellefonte, suffered major damage from a kitchen fire on February 18. With incredible support from the community, neighbors and family, Jim’s recently re-opened.

I recently stopped in at Jim’s for a brief interview and photo-op. Here are my impressions:

It is 10:15 a.m., or so and the restaurant is a buzz with the staff moving like worker bees in a beehive. Even with all the work in progress, I am greeted with a room full of smiles.

Instantly, before the door even closed behind me, I am being asked how I can be helped – by three employees.

Although, once my camera was spotted, one of the lovely ladies seemed to search for a place to hide. I won’t mention you, Michele!

Imagine, coming to talk to the “Boss” of Italian food in Bellefonte on a Wednesday morning and having to wait in line. As a young lady with a laptop finished her business with Jim at a booth, I was up next. That is how in demand Jim Boscaino’s time is.

Jim Boscaino is not only one of the kindest men you will ever meet, he’s the owner of one of the best Italian Restaurants in Centre County. His demeanor is that of a man determined to succeed. But, Jim Boscaino knows that without faith in God, love and support of family and his community, the success at 204 E. Cherry Lane would not be possible.

After the fire on February 18, many customers were not sure if their favorite eatery would ever open its doors, again.

Here is where Jim’s faith in God, family, and community combined to help “Jim’s” rise from the ashes and once again become the successful business that Bellefonte and Centre County has patronized for generations.

As we spoke, I took down some notes, but soon my pen found a resting place and I sat and listened.

What I learned from listening to Jim and his staff, over half of whom are family, is that success is not determined by

dollars and cents. Jim’s Cuisine is a success and a Bellefonte favorite because of decades of tradition, hard work, and determination by a family who knew the way to peoples’ hearts was not just great food, but through kind, polite, service with a smile – giving the customer a sense of family the minute they walk through the door.

Jim’s description of the support he received after the fire brought emotions to the surface rather quickly. I could see and feel how deeply thankful Jim is for his many blessings his God has bestowed upon him and his family.

As I sat in the booth, watching the busy staff, it was “organized chaos.” Everyone had a job to do and they did it well and without question. It was really a well-oiled machine.

I cannot imagine the miles the hard working staff at Jim’s put on their weary feet on a daily basis. To sit among this crew, you cannot tell who is “family” and who isn’t. That’s how closely the team works together.

During the interview, Jim pointed to a portrait on the restaurant wall – a portrait of his parents, Jim and Helen, who brought their incredible Italian recipes to our community in 1952.

Jim’s parents have passed away, but their presence can be felt in this fine establishment. That presence adds to and solidifies the sense of family among the staff, and I know from experience, it touches the hearts of many of Jim’s loyal customers.

In this world of chain restaurants, less bang-for-yourbuck eateries, Jim’s Cuisine will stand out as the place to go for, not only “real” Italian food, but a place where you will find yourself among friends and family.

As a community, we thank you, Jim Boscaino, Kate Confer, John Young, Michele Lose, Tim Struble, Amber Meixel, Dustin Corl, Earl Shaffer, Alicia Boscaino, Paige Boscaino, Brooke Rockey, Brittany Reese, Mary Summers and Jackie McCloskey for your years of hard work and dedication.

Gregg Township Fire Company Holds Parade & Carnival

Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

SPRING MILLS – The Gregg Township Fire Company held its annual parade and carnival in Spring Mills on August 4 through 6. The parade stepped off at 7 p.m. on Thursday, August 4, winding its way through the village, then uphill for another half mile to the carnival grounds along Route 45. The parade featured majorette corps, floats, antique trucks and tractors, firefighting equipment, and much more.

Besides the normal attractions of food stands, games, and raffle prizes, the carnival in Spring Mills included a kids’ pedal-tractor pull on Saturday night. This event is a 10-year tradition at this carnival, and it’s a real crowd pleaser! About 30 children signed up in categories from age three to 10. The kids all use the same pedal-tractors and weight sled, supplied

by Norm Wenrick, with weights varying according to the puller’s age. Three-year-olds pull just 10 pounds, while the 10-year-olds pull a hefty 100 pounds!

Tom and Heather Boring from Centre Hall were there with their sons, Bruce and Barret. Three-year-old Barret was running his first pedal tractor pull, and his brother, 10-year-old Bruce was in his last pull. Bruce had taken home

trophies the last four years. When it was all over, Bruce had won first place in the 10-year-old group, and little brother Barret took third place among the three-year-olds, following in his big brother’s footsteps. The boys and their parents were very proud!

It wasn’t just boys taking home trophies. In the eightyear-old class, the first three places were all won by girls, and there were many young ladies competing well against the boys in other age categories as well.

A raffle was held for 86 prizes of cash and gift cards from businesses in the Penns Valley area, and ground prizes included 73 donated items. I still didn’t win a darn thing!

Maybe next year.

The carnival grounds were packed with people having a good time, and supporting the Gregg Township Fire Company. It’s great to see so many people from up and down the valley coming out to support their local fire companies in these parades and carnivals that have become longstanding traditions of summer in this area. Congratulations to all who made this event a success.

Bargains Galore along Our Country Roads Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

GEORGES VALLEY – South of Centre Hall, perched between Potters Mills and Spring Mills, is the area known as Georges Valley. Upper and Lower Georges Valley Roads run parallel through the area, on the north and south sides respectively, connected like rungs of a ladder by Reeder Road and Harter Road. Folks living along these thoroughfares brought out their best used merchandise for the Georges Valley Community Yard Sale Days on Friday and Saturday, August 5 and 6.

I visited some of the sales on Saturday, August 6, and everyone said “You should have been here yesterday!” Friday was a brisk sales day for these events, and Saturday’s weather was terrible. Rain fell in every form, from light drizzle to torrential downpour! Still, there were people out shopping for those great yard sale bargains.

I stopped in at the residence of Wanda and Harry Hockenberry on Bible Road. They used to be my neighbors in Centre Hall, where they always held a huge family yard sale.

When they moved to Georges Valley, they took this tradition with them. Their sale filled a double garage, and part of their lawn. An Amish family, who had traveled by horse cart from Spring Mills was making several purchases from the Hockenberry’s.

A few miles down Upper Georges Valley Road, at the home of the late Nevin and Esther Zettle, their daughter, Fawn Houtz was hosting a large sale to dispose of “50 years worth of stuff,” in her words. With a wide variety of items,

this sale drew many customers in spite of the rainy weather.

At the Locust Grove Fellowship Bible Church on Lower Georges Valley Road, Juanita Covalt was selling home baked goods as a fundraiser for the church. Juanita and a friend, Corrine Buckmaster were the founders of the Georges Valley Community Yard Sale Days 10 years ago. Like many similar events, it started small, and grew to be a major community event. Juanita’s parents, the Steigers, were having a sale at their house next door to the church.

On Reeder Road, Marie Shaffer presided over a sale in her garage, safely out of the rain. She had many coffee mugs, and a stack of Harley-Davidson T-shirts. The one saying “Fatboys Rule” went home with me!

A little farther up the road, at the home of Marci Brown, another family yard sale was in progress. This sale featured many housewares, along with Christmas ornaments and stuffed animals. It seems hard to think about Christmas in August, but it will be here before you know it!

Georges Valley didn’t have a monopoly on yard sales on Saturday. The New

Hope Lutheran Church, near Spring Mills was having an indoor yard sale at the church, as a fundraiser for mission projects. Families and vendors gathered in the church social hall, where a crowd of customers browsed. For example, Gary Solt of Bellefonte showed a nice line of hand-crafted wooden items. Gary’s products included wooden chests, serving trays, decorative sleds, and other items, fabricated mainly of oak and walnut. It was all high quality merchandise, exhibiting great craftsmanship.

Jaime Carpenter came up from Belleville with a line of sunglasses, and some ceramic items. She deals in antiques and collectibles, and is associated with the large flea market held in Belleville.

New Hope church members were serving up a delicious array of food, including many home baked goods. A guy could get fat going to these sales! Oh, well, I already got that “Fatboys Rule” shirt!

Sale at the Zettle home was busy in spite of the rain.

Fawn (Zettle) Houtz had “50 years worth of stuff” to sell at her late parents’ home.

Juanita Covalt sells baked goods at the Locust Grove Fellowship Bible Church. Juanita was a co-founder of the Georges Valley Community Yard Sale Days.

Jeff and Helen Frazier had many items for sale at the New Hope Lutheran Church’s indoor yard sale.

Marie Shaffer stayed out of the rain with a garage full of merchandise to sell.

Gary Solt sold hand-crafted wooden items at the New Hope indoor yard sale.

Kids Find Farming Fun at Penn State’s Ag Progress Days Contributed by Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences ROCK SPRINGS – Agriculture is serious business in Pennsylvania, but young people attending Penn State’s Ag Progress Days, set for August 16 to 18 at Rock Springs, can discover that farming also has a fun side.

As one of the nation’s leading agricultural expositions, the event can be an action-packed place for kids. Young people can take part in interactive, science-based exhibits and other activities that combine education and enjoyment.

“Our young visitors will get to learn by doing,” said Mya Rushton, 4-H project development specialist in the College of Agricultural Sciences and coordinator for the Ag Progress Days 4-H Youth Building. “The exhibits will get youth up and moving with a variety of activities designed for hands-on learning, so youth can take the skills learned and apply them in their homes, schools and communities.”

The 4-H Youth Building displays, sponsored by such groups as 4-H, FFA, Pennsylvania Dairy Princess Promotions Services Inc. and several academic departments in the College of Agricultural Sciences, will offer several kid-friendly activities.

Young visitors can look at diseased plants under microscopes, learn about embryology and watch chicks hatch, pet rabbits and learn about spinning their wool, participate in nutrition and fitness activities, check out the world of insects, and pedal go carts around an outdoor track for fun and exercise.

Nearby, the Family Room Building, located on Main Street between West Eighth and West Ninth streets at the Ag Progress Days site, offers several displays dedicated to promoting healthy eating, healthy lifestyles and spending time together as families.

Adjacent to the Family Room building, the Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center exhibit returns this year with opportunities to see live turtles, snakes, amphibians and birds of prey, presented during daily talks and demonstrations.

• Other youth and family-oriented activities at Ag Progress Days: • 4-H Seeing-Eye Puppy Club. Visitors can talk with young people involved in a special 4-H program that socializes puppies being raised to become service dogs and teaches them to be with people. Children can pet and interact with the puppies on Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. in the Equine Arena.

• The Kid’s Climb. Near the Equine Exhibits Building, kids can use ropes and harnesses to safely climb 40-foottall trees just like professional arborists. Climbs are available Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

• A-Maze-N-Corn. Flanking the Crops, Soils and Conservation Tent, a stroll through a one-acre corn maze will provide environmental infotainment for entire families.

The maze is wheelchair and stroller accessible.

• The Farm Safety and Health Quiz Bowl. On Wednesday on West Ninth Street near the College Exhibits Building and Theatre, teams of 4-H and FFA teens will engage in a head-to-head battle of wits, answering farm-safety and health questions in this semifinal quiz bowl event.

Winning teams will advance to the state finals at the Pennsylvania Farm Show in January.

• The Pennsylvania Equine Council’s Learning Station will allow visitors to groom a horse, visit with council members and learn what issues are at the forefront of Pennsylvania’s equine industry.

•

At the 4-H Horse Demonstration, representatives will show the equine skills that young people can develop through Pennsylvania 4-H programs.

• Very young children will enjoy the “Stick Horse Show” (sponsored by the Pennsylvania Equine Council), when they’ll get an opportunity to ride stick horse toys and win ribbons in jumps, barrel racing and other “horsemanship” games.

• At the Destiny Horse Ranch miniature-horse demonstration, kids can see the diminutive animals up close.

Sponsored by Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, Ag Progress Days is held at the Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center at Rock Springs, nine miles southwest of State College on Route 45. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Aug. 16; 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Aug. 17; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 18.

Admission and parking are free.

Free shuttle bus service between the Ag Progress Days site and downtown State College will be available.

For more information, visit the Ag Progress Days website at http://apd. psu.edu. Twitter users can find and share information about the event by using the hashtag #agprogress.

43rd Ag Progress Days August 16 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

August 17 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

August 18 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

More than 400 commercial exhibitors will display the latest goods and services.

A Night with the Spikes

By Sandie Biddle

August 5 was a great opportunity and an inspiring night for members of The Gazette staff. We were proud to host Gazette Night at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park last Friday, and enjoyed every minute of it. We handing out free papers, Gazette T-shirts, Gazette helium balloons, and gave away a number of prizes. Most importantly, we got to make new friends and entice new readers.

I was struck by the all-American, friendly atmosphere at the ballpark – the happy families, silly songs and sound effects, the excitement of the game, and the enticing feelgood foods and refreshments. Hot dogs always taste best at the ballpark! And the fireworks – WOW – my niece and I ooohed and aaahed through the whole magical show. Oh, yeah, and the Spikes won!

Here are a few of the photos from that great night. If you haven’t been to a Spikes game yet, please go.

It’s a wholesome, familyfriendly night to remember.

Luke Barnhart gives it his “all” on the first pitch.

Spikes and Gazette Celebrate Winning Night

By Les Barnhart

(photo provided by Northern Deanery) The Catholic community of the Northern Deanery were also on hand at the August 5 Spikes game. Their group General Manager Don Bedell and volunteer Vicky Baney have a great time purchased more than 200 tickets. Father Neil Dadey, head of drawing names for the many prizes offered by The Centre County Gazette. the Northern Deanery and pastor of St. John’s in Bellefonte and Blessed Kateri in Spring Mills, was very pleased with the turnout. Father Dadey threw out the first pitch and the Catholic Community choir sang The National Anthem and America the Beautiful. Msgr. David Lockard, pastor of Our Lady of Victory Church, and Father Charles Amershek, pastor of Good Shepherd Church, both of State College, were among the many priests in attendance along with two priests from Ghana and one from Poland. Chris Kirkpatrick, co-event sponsor and Director of Marketing for St. John’s and Blessed Kateri, commented that the plan is to have even greater involvement next year from the students of Saint Joseph’s Academy, Our Lady of Victory and St. John’s; Centre County’s three Catholic schools.

Arnie Stott, Sandie Biddle, and Don Bedell present Art Reede of State College with the Grand Prize of a Sony Blue Ray DVD Player from Paul and Tony’s Stereo. Additional prize winners that night included: 1st Inning, Robert Harrington of State College; 2nd Inning, LuAnn Yearick of Centre Hall; 3rd Inning, Sabrina Counsil of Lock Haven; 4th Inning, Jan Toth of Fairchance, PA; 5th Inning, Bobbi Rawson of Port Matilda; and 6th Inning, Leslie Shriver of Julian.

The Philipsburg-Osceola Girl’s Softball State Champs were honored at the game.

It was a beautiful evening for baseball last Friday night at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The Gazette had their night with the Spikes and by the end of the night, even before the fireworks filled the summer sky, smiles filled the stands. Fans left the stadium with a fresh copy of the Gazette, some with a new Gazette tee-shirt and others had their name called as winners of numerous door prizes. Add to that a thrilling Spikes win and it was easy to see why it’s hard to have a bad time at the ballpark.

The evening started off with my kids and I being on the field as they were given the honor to throw out honorary first pitches. After chatting with Father Neil, they both made their delivery to the plate. By the way, Father Neil still has quite an arm on him as well. After some more playful harassment of my son by Ike the Spike we headed back to our seats to watch the action on the field.

After allowing a run on an error and not being able to solve the Jamestown pitching, the Spikes clawed their way back in front and would pull ahead for good to send the crowd home happy. During the top of the fifth inning, Sandie Biddle and I were invited to join Joe Putman, “the voice of the Spikes” in the booth. Putnam, a Bellefonte native, was as always a great listen even if the two amateurs on with him made his job a bit tougher.

Overall the evening was great as it afforded all of us at the Gazette to meet with many of our readers and also provided an opportunity to give a little something back to those who pick us up each week. The State College Spikes were very hospitable and deserve a world of thanks, especially Jason Dambach, Joe Putnam and Steve Jones for giving up his headset for a half inning. There are others that should be thanked and to them I do just that, thank you all.

I look forward to the next time out at the ballpark.

Any time you bring together great food and great friends, you are bound to have a great time.

When Life Hands You a Grape…

Centre County’s Award-Winning Seven Mountains Wine Cellars Article & photos by Karen Dabney

POTTERS MILLS – What could have been a disaster led to a dream come true for Scott and Mary Ann Bubb of Potters Mills. Scott’s employer of 25 years, New Holland in Belleville, shut down. Three months later, Mary Ann joined him in the unemployment line when the dentist who employed her ended his practice. At the age of 50, Scott did not relish the thought of starting over in a new manufacturing company. Instead, he had a better idea.

“We didn’t look at it as a tragedy,” he said. “We looked at it as an opportunity.” He and Mary Ann decided to take Scott’s wine-making hobby to the next level and go professional. In August 2008, they began construction on the Seven Mountains Wine Cellars building. One year later, they opened the business with 4,000 gallons of their Seven Mountains wines.

They advertised locally, and after people tasted the wines, the news spread. “Word of mouth is just so powerful,” Scott said. “Restaurants came and bought six to eight cases at a time. We got into it before we were ready, but now we are.”

The gamble paid off. “It’s been very successful,” Scott said.

They have struggled to keep up with the demand from individual customers and restaurants. Many of their wines sold out before the next year’s wines were ready. After doubling production in their second and third years, their anticipated production for the upcoming fourth year is 20,000 gallons.

When asked about the reason for their rapid growth, Scott said, “We have a quality product. All the awards we’ve won are proof of that.” He said he uses the highest quality ingredients to produce his wines.

Seven Mountains wines are gaining recognition in Pennsylvania and internationally. “Just this year, in the Pennsylvania Farm Show, we entered 10 wines,” Scott said. “Nine of them medaled. Two of them went on to win the Governor’s Cups for best fruit wine and best grape wine. We became the first winery to win both in one year.

“Our semi-dry Riesling won double gold at the Pennsylvania Winery Association. We sent four wines to the Finger Lakes International Competition. Of the four, three of them won medals. Seeing our name on the same list as the big guys made us feel pretty good.” Their Vidal Ice Wine won a silver medal, and their semi-dry Traminette and Cranberry wines took bronze medals.

Scott Bubb said he made his first wine in 1976 so his aunt wouldn’t have to throw away surplus Concord grapes from the bumper crop that year. “I can remember my father and older cousin praising my wine....I didn’t think it was that good, but it inspired me. I’ve been making wine for 36 years, and every year I’m trying to make it better than last year.”

Seven Mountains offers grape wines ranging from dry to sweet, and fruit wines made from peaches, apples, and a variety of berries. The Bubbs sell two Penn State inspired wines, “We Are” Cayuga White, and “We Are” Blueberry.

Scott said, “There’s a wine on our list that will suit everybody’s taste.”

The beautiful L-shaped building has great acoustics due to its pine cathedral ceilings and hickory floors.

Scott said, “We didn’t realize when we were building it that we were building a mini symphony hall.”

When Douglas Meyer, the musical director of the Pennsylvania Centre Orchestra first visited, he recognized the potential, snapped his fingers and said, “We have to have music here.” The orchestra just completed the second season of the Seven Mountains Summer Music Fest at the winery.

The Bubbs host special events at Seven Mountains Wine Cellars, including concerts, Campfire Fridays, and Cork and Stogie Nights on the decks. They also rent the building for special events, and offer tours, wine tastings, and an “Adopt a Barrel” program.

To encourage other amateur winemakers, Seven Mountains Wine Cellars will host the First Annual Central Pennsylvania Regional Wine Conference on Sunday, September 18 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The conference will include two seminars, wine tastings, and a wine judging.

BEA Comes Up Short in Title Game But Not in Heart

By Les Barnhart

In a wild game, Bald Eagle Area dropped a heartbreaking 17-16 nine inning loss to Schuylkill West on Monday evening in the finals of the VFW Teener 15-16 year-old state All-Star tournament held in Huntingdon.

Bald Eagle Area forced the second game after defeating Schuylkill West 2-0 earlier on Monday behind a very strong outing on the mound by Dylan Womer. He allowed just three hits while striking out 13 in the win.

Logan Reese also added a solo home run in the win.

With 33 runs being scored between the two teams, the second game clearly had more offense than in the first of the two games that would determine the VFW state championship. BEA had built a 16-10 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh and needed only three outs. Schuylkill West had other plans as they posted six runs in the inning to tie

and send the game into extra innings.

The teams then went into defensive mode as the game remained scoreless until a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth inning broke the deadlock and gave Schuylkill West the state title.

Logan Reese powered the Bald Eagle Area offense in the loss. He recorded three hits including a third inning grand slam that helped spot BEA a 9-3 lead. Womer added two hits in the second game.

In order for Bald Eagle Area to even reach the finals against Schuylkill West, they had to get through host team, Huntingdon.

That task was made easier thanks to a three home run game by Tyler Dyke in a 15-1 rout.

Congratulations to Bald Eagle Area on a successful postseason. They showed heart and character throughout the tournament, which is something that can’t be measured with trophies or championships.

Pirates’ Ship Taking on Water in Second Half of Season

By Les Barnhart

It’s not unheard of for a team to fade in Major League Baseball’s second half of the season. Whether its injuries, weather, the fact that they have played well over a 100 games, a combination of one or all of those things or perhaps it’s something all together different, teams will fade down the stretch.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are one of those teams experiencing a second half “swoon”.

But what the once division leading Buccos have done since the break isn’t what one would call fading. They went into Atlanta a few weeks back sitting atop the National League Central division. After winning the first game of the series, they dropped the second on a botched call in the 19th inning that gave the Braves the win.

Since that fateful night, some Pirates fans have been singing “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia” as their hopes of ending a decade of futility are fading like newsprint on a dashboard. After winning the fourth and final game of the series in Atlanta to earn a split, the beleaguered Bucs dropped their next ten games before ending the streak with a 5-0 road win over the defending World Champion San Francisco Giants. Of course that was followed up with a shutout loss on Tuesday night to lose 10 of last 11 games.

That losing streak dropped the Pirates from atop the division to 11 games back of Milwaukee heading into Wednesday’s

schedule of games. The race for the Wild Card is equally as bleak as they trail Atlanta by 14 games for that spot.

Not all is lost; the Pirates showed in the first half of the season that they are a better team than has been calling PNC Park home for the past several seasons. They can still recover and finish the season above .500. If that happens, that would be a major step in the right direction in putting the once proud franchise back on the map and out of the cellar.

Meanwhile closer to home…

With the Pirates struggling of late, the hometown State College Spikes have been surging as they enter the All-Star Break. With their win on Tuesday night over Aberdeen, the Spikes had won 9 of their last 11 games and were just four games behind fifth place Batavia and more importantly would be out of the Pinckney Division basement.

The 5-2 win on Tuesday snapped the IronBirds own five-game winning streak and the Spikes looked confident in doing so. They will wrap up their current six game homestand this weekend with three games against the Connecticut Tigers before a few days off for the All-Star Game being held in Lowell.

Get out this weekend and cheer the Spikes on! Remember the Bucs start in Medlar Field.

Despite injury, Keselowski wins at Pocono

By Matt Masullo

Brad Keselowski was injured early last week in a test session in Atlanta when he crashed head-on into barrier wall in Atlanta.

It is not uncommon to wreck during a test session, but Keselowski injured his ankle to the point where he had to compete at Long Pond with a brace on his ankle. Ankle brace or not, Keselowski proved to be too much, as he raced to his second victory of the season.

He didn’t need a relief driver Sunday, but he was aided by an almost two-hour rain delay. With only five races remaining before the Chase for the Cup, Keselowski put himself

in prime position to make it into the Chase as one of the wild cards with the victory.

Rounding out the top five were Kyle Busch, his brother Kurt, Jimmie Johnson and Ryan Newman. As it stands right now, the top ten in points are Carl Edwards, Johnson, the Busch brothers, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Godon, Newman, Tony Stewart and Dale Earnhart Jr.

Coach Paterno back to practice after blindside

By Les Barnhart

Football is a rough sport. Injuries can happen anywhere at any time. Penn State football fans were again reminded of this on Sunday when news broke that their legendary coach, Joe Paterno, was blindsided by wide receiver Devon Smith. The accident occurred during a pass drill at Sunday’s practice.

In the collision with the diminutive and speedy Smith that knocked the 84year old Paterno to the Holuba Hall turf, the coaching legend got back to his feet and finished practice. He would later go to Mount Nittany Medical Center to get checked out and would up spending the night as well as Monday night.

Coach Paterno still held his coaches meeting on Monday morning but so via teleconference. He was released from the hospital on Tuesday with the great news that while he may be relegated to a golf cart at Wednesday’s practice, he would not need surgery for injuries to his right shoulder and pelvis. Aside from the fact that the Nittany Lions open the season in less than a month, hearing that Coach Paterno is on the mend after an incident that could have been much worse once again has this a “Happy Valley”.

We love ya, Coach. Take care of yourself; we have a National Championship to win!

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.

PV Athlete Excels in Keystone State Games

By Marty King

On July 30, Corey King of Centre Hall participated in the Keystone State Games, Track & Field Championship. The event was held at Landis Field at Central Dauphin High School, in Harrisburg. It was open to athletes from Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, and the District of Columbia. The Track events were spread out over three days, Friday, July 29 was for Youth ages nine to14, Saturday, July 30 was for Intermediate (age15 and 16) and Scholastic (age17 and 18), with Sunday, July 31, for Open and Master Athletes.

Corey, an athlete with Penns Valley High School and a third-year varsity sprinter, ran the 100-meter and 200-meter events.

These two events were the top participant draw for the Track portion of the Keystone Games, with 29 sprinters for the 100-meter and 35 for the 200-meter.

“It was hot; you could feel the heat zap your energy leading up to the race,” King commented. Air temperature at the time of the 200-meter event was 90 degrees with a track temperature of over 100 degrees. Corey ran respectable races, placing fifth in both.

The 100-meter wining time was 11.29 seconds by TJ Elliot of Harrisburg. King ran an 11.71. In the 200-meter, again won by

Elliot, Corey had a time of 23.96 seconds, just 0.17 seconds away from s e c o n d place. Elliot won going away with a time of 23.19 seconds.

“ I t was great to compete again, but Corey King of Centre Hall at the with 2½ Keystone Games mont h s since districts, it was hard to be on top of your game,” Corey indicated. Corey is looking forward to a little time off this fall but will be right back at it for a full Indoor Track season starting in January. He will also compete in his final year of Varsity eligibility with Penns Valley High School Outdoor Track & Field, with aspirations and a personal goal of making it to Pennsylvania State Championship in May, 2012. Congratulations to Corey King for his excellent performance in these games.

BRISTOL- The Keystone Little League All-Star team continued their march back home by continuing to win.

After having their game on Tuesday against Maryland postponed until Thursday morning, the team took on Washington DC on Wednesday. With their dominant 17-0 win, they team improved to 3-0 in the tournament and secured a spot in Friday’s semifinal round.

After the dust settled on the field, Keystone had pounded out 18 hits including a two-run home run off the bat of Alex Garbrick in a four-run second inning that provided Keystone pitcher Trevor Nicodemus and early 5-0 lead. Nicodemus was stout on the mound as he picked up the win after allowing one hit while striking out three in his 4 2/3 innings of work.

Cole Reeder and Tyler McCloskey also powered the Keystone offense with each collecting three hits in the lopsided win.

Keystone was scheduled to play Maryland (1-2) on Thursday morning at 9am. The outcome of that game will determine whether they play at 11am or 3pm on Friday in semifinal action. ESPN will broadcast both games so fans can tune in and see these boys fight their way to Williamsport and a berth in the Little League World Series. ESPN3. com will also show the games for those stuck in front of a computer.

You have seen the show on television, watched the movie, now you have the chance to see the live play of Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple at Millbrook Playhouse in Mill Hall.

The cast is full of faces that will be familiar to regular Millbrook patrons.

The two leads are particularly well known. Thom Caska is Oscar Madison, the divorced, sloppy, cigar smoking, sports writer. Marc de la Concha is Felix Ungar, the emotional neat freak who has just been kicked out by his wife. The two actors are talents that can carry a show.

Marc de la Conch has the physical ability and the facial expressions to make any part his own. It does not take long for the audience and Oscar to find out why Felix’s wife could not take any more of him.

The poker buddies were especially noteworthy. If you have not been to Millbrook before, you would not be aware what a group of talented young men they were. In past shows we had seen each of them in very different roles from rock stars to the prince of a small kingdom to a very unusual high school principal.

The performances will take place at various points in town, and some take place simultaneously. The “audience” will come upon performances already in progress and can follow them through town on their way to Bremen Town (Talleyrand Park). Eventually, the travelers – audience and actors – will become part of the Hootenanny in the Park as the afternoon’s festivities come to an end.

You can become part of the performance. You may be asked to solve a character’s problems; learn music, songs, and dances; or read lines or improvise. You can get as involved as you like, or just be a spectator. You could even design your own character. Past Bellefonte Journeys have been The Alice Journeys and A Perfectly Particularly Preposterous Party. The Journeys are designed for all ages and everything is free.

This project is supported by the PA Council on the Arts through Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts.

Into the Woods opened at Boal Barn Tuesday and special recognition has to go to Tom McClary and his production staff for a delightful show. The decision to do the show in modern dress was a brilliant one and costume designer, Joy Elizabeth Downey, defined each character with just the right touch.

Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine have woven several well known fairy tales together to give us the plot for Into the Woods so that the characters can interact with each other as well as giving the audience a chance to see what happens after the â&#x20AC;&#x153;happily ever afterâ&#x20AC;? endings.

Although the cast was a true ensemble, I have to make several comments on individuals. As The Witch, Amy Sclight had some complicated lines and she sailed through them without a stumble. Amy has a strong voice and I would love to hear her sing without amplification.

The Baker and his wife were played by Eric Brinser and Kate Oberholtzer. Both were in good voice and were very believable in their more dramatic scenes. Side note: Bald Eagle students go see Mr. Brinser. You will be impressed.

The Wicked Stepmother and her daughters had the best chance to dress the part.

Played by Susan Kleit, Emily Dennis, and Jessica Blanarik, they were a delight and their wardrobe sharp and edgy.

My favorite spots may have been the duets starring the two Princes. Jason Meyer, Rapunzelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prince, and Michael Tews, Cinderellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prince, were perfect for the parts.

Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overacting hit the right comic note.

Loved his sneakers.

Julia Albertsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cinderella had the proper

layers to her personality; she was not sure if actually marrying a prince would guarantee happiness. Her sweet voice was perfect for Cinderella.

Rachel Reed as Little Red won the audience almost as soon as she stepped on stage. She has an excellent stage voice, clear and precise. There was no doubt in my mind that her new cape would be made of wolf skin.

Jason Myer did double duty as the Wolf and as a result had an outstanding solo, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hello, Little Girlâ&#x20AC;?.

Helen Fleischer deserves to be applauded as Milky White, the cow. Non-speaking roles are difficult. Never once did I see Helen break character; she just kept chewing her cud.

I have enjoyed Stefan Pelikan in past shows, but the part of Jack was perfect for him. Jason Hetler also did double duty. He kept the audience informed of the action as the Narrator for the play and was also the Mysterious Man.

All of the smaller roles had good voices.

Lisa Wasbotten, as Rapunzel, has an exceptional voice. I hope that we get to see more of her.

The evening concluded with scholarships being awarded to Sarah Rafacz and Jessica Blanarik to be used to further their education in the field of drama.

Into the Woods runs until August 20.

Leading Ladies opens September 6.

Mathilde “Mimi” Lee

Wife of Maryland Governor, sixth generation Boal of Boalsburg PA

Mimi Lee, wife of Maryland Governor Blair Lee, III, died on August 9th from congestive heart failure at Laurel Regional Hospital.

Born Mathilde Boal on May 1, 1920, in Washington, DC, “Mimi” Lee was named for her paternal grandmother, who was related to Christopher Columbus. Mrs. Lee’s father, Pierre de Lagarde Boal, was an American diplomat whose assignments included ambassadorships to Nicaragua and Bolivia. Her French mother, Jeanne de Menthon, was a descendant of Bernard de Menthon, the eleventh century saint for whom the Alpine rescue dogs are named.

As a young girl, Mimi Boal lived with her diplomatic parents in ten different countries learning to speak fluent French, English and Spanish. Later, in her 80’s, she took up German “just to keep my mind sharp”, she said.

While her father was stationed in Canada Mimi attended Elmwood High School where she served as a Girl Guide and acquired her first canoe, the beginning of her life-long affinity for the great outdoors.

She was a 1943 graduate of Bryn Mawr College where she earned a cum laude degree in chemistry and, later, worked in South America

as a chemist for the Rockefeller Foundation.

On July 6, 1944 she married Blair Lee III of Silver Spring, scion of a Maryland and Virginia family whose direct ancestors included Richard Henry Lee, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and Frank Blair, a confidant of presidents Jackson and Lincoln.

Unaffected by political or social ambition, Mimi Lee preferred her family and outdoor activities. She was a life-long Girl Scout leader, skier, camper (she hiked the Appalachian Trial), canoeist and swim instructor. “I can’t tell you how many people say to me ‘Oh, your mom taught me how to swim’”, recalls her son, Blair.

She was a champion swimmer who set numerous state and national Senior Olympics records including the breaststroke (age group 75 to 79) and the individual medley (age group 80 to 84). In the US Masters Swimming Nationals she placed first nationally in various events eight times and second twenty times.

Too modest to brag, she gave her gold medals to her grandchildren as toys which is how her children learned of her record-setting wins.

An indefatigable hiker, she climbed the French Pyrenees at age 70 leaving her two 17 year old grandchildren, Jake and Matilda, trailing behind.

When her husband became Maryland’s governor in 1977, Mimi Lee eschewed the Governor’s Mansion preferring the family home in Silver Spring while making weekly

NOTICE

Marty Cattuzzo Author of CountDown

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!
