Letters To The Editor
By Sandie Biddle, managing editor Editor@CentreCountyGazette.com CCGazette@Hughes.net
If you’ve any interest in WWII, there’s an event tomorrow (Saturday, August 20) that you’ll really enjoy. A group of volunteers is putting together a WWII 70th anniversary exhibit at the annual Fly In at the Mid-State Airport near Philipsburg and Black Moshannon State Park. I was honored to donate my mom’s complete WAC uniform for the exhibit. Mom preserved everything, including her brown leather Army-issue purse and red hankerchief embroidered with Camp Robinson, Arkansas. Veterans and their families have donated clothing, photos, firearms, vehicles, planes, and memorabilia. There will even be a few WWII vets there to share their stories, including Bellefonte’s own Lt. Col. Bob Barraclough. The Fly In is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ag Progress has come and gone, Bellefonte Arts & Crafts Fair is this weekend, and they’ll be moving into The Grange Fair before our next issue comes out. Summer is going out with its usual fanfare in Happy Valley. But that’s not all that’s going on in our neighborhoods. Read about historic projects in Boalsburg, kids’ boot camp, poker run for breast cancer, memorial car show, plays, concerts, and interesting fund raisers, from rummage sales to golf tournaments. There are many ways to learn and contribute in the coming months, including CPR classes, gardening classes, hospice training, researching your family tree, learning about early American tools, and attending a senior citizens police academy. Do you know a special Centre County woman who is worthy of long-deserved praise? Please nominate her for Top 11 Women in 2011, a new feature coming up September 19. (Yep, the guys get their turn, too, on October 7.) She could be a business owner, charity worker, teacher, politician, pastor, counselor, or volunteer – someone who goes above and beyond, who gives freely of herself to the betterment of others’ lives. Perhaps she is retiring or recently passed away. Or she’s still out there tirelessly championing her causes. Please e-mail me her name, contact information, and your reason for nominating her. We’ll spotlight 11 of these exceptional neighbors in the September 19 issue. You’ll get a taste of Grange Fair in this issue, and plenty more in the next two, as two of our writers are camping right in the middle of the action, and more of our reporters and photographers are anxious to get out there for their favorite fair events. Then, September 2nd, it’s Labor Day and our Football Preview, which Les and Matt are feverishly, cheerfully working on. “Where did the summer go?” my sister just asked me. It’s not quite gone, yet! Jump in there and picnic, camp, golf, swim, sightsee, and celebrate with us. It’s not too late to make another summer memory.
Basic Journalism Lesson First, I want to thank you for running the article on the show, Into the Woods (page 21 of the 8/12 issue). Unfortunately, the spelling of my daughter’s first name was incorrect. Her name is Leia, not Lisa. Thank you, Thor Wasbot ten Assistant Dean, Student Media/Online Senior Lecturer, Communications (Journalism) College of Communications The Pennsylvania State University ED: Both of us learned the “spell my name right” tenet of journalism and public relations early in our careers. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always happen. Mea culpa. Leia Wasbotten was wonderful as Rapunzel in the Boal Barn production. As this young star continues to shine, no doubt we we’ ll write about Leia again.

The Gazette, along with four local businesses, has joined to support five local schools by sponsoring the Centre County Gazette Stock Market Game Challenge from EconomicsPennsylvania. One team of three to five high school students will represent each school in a special local competition of the Stock Market Game. The schools are Bald Eagle, Bellefonte, Penns Valley and State College High Schools, along with Central Pennsylvania Institute for Science and Technology (CPI). Each team is given $100,000 in hypothetical money and invests in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. The team with the most money at the end wins. The top four teams will be listed here each week during the game, which is October 19 through December 16. Free training will be provided to the teachers on September 21 at Penn State University’s Smeal School of Business. A recognition event will be held at CPI at the conclusion of the game. MaryAnn Volders, Director of Secondary Education, from CPI commented, “We are excited to be part of the game, and we look forward to being competitive with the other schools”. This program is sponsored by The Gazette and local businesses, Fulton Bank, ProAct LTD, Lion Country KIA, and Videon Central, Inc. Tom Mertz, President of Lion Country KIA commented, “What a great learning experience!” The Stock Market Game is open to teachers and students in grades four through 12. It is a ten-week, on-line simulation that offers players the opportunity to invest a hypothetical $100,000 in stocks, bonds and mutual funds – designed to increase students’ understanding of the economy, markets, corporations, long-term investment options, and more. Through seminars, workshops, course offerings, and other instructional resources, EconomicsPennsylvania aids educators in teaching students how to become productive members of the labor force, responsible and informed voters, prudent savers and investors, knowledgeable consumers, and life-long decision makers. These attributes of an economically-literate citizenry are imperative to the success and well-being of our state and nation.

Centre Count y Schools PA Military Museum – Boot Camp for Kids, Part One By Jillian Decker
BOALSBURG – Plastic toy soldiers, G.I. Joe, and Captain America. What childhood is complete without dreams of serving their country? Thanks to the Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg, kids can experience their fantasy at a unique day camp run by a team of “drill sergeants” of prior service soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. Two weeks ago, 31 “recruits,” ages eight to 13, gathered at 0900 on a Saturday morning to begin their day of training. Volunteers with previous military experience and from Boy Scout Troop 59 of Port Matilda manned the in-processing to divide the children into platoons. Throughout the day, the kids were put through instruction in marching and military courtesy, orienteering, and physical training. After a lunch break in the One of the drill instructors explains the training exercises, the quarter-mile run through the muddy woods, to her stillclean platoon.
Volunteer drill instructors oversee their platoon completing the crawl through the “big black tube,” the wire crawl, and the balance beam. afternoon, the platoons participated in a competition to put what they had learned to the test before the graduation and awards ceremony at the end of the day. According to Museum Educator Joseph Horvath of State College, the kids “had no clue as to what was in store for them. This wasn’t a camp with “Buffy” and “Chad” as counselors… The point of boot camp is to break the individual out of the self-centered mindset they had for most of their lives
and rework the individual into a smart, capable, disciplined team player.” True boot camp for the Navy or Marine Corps generally runs for 10 to 13 weeks, with certain branches, such as the Navy Hospital Corpsmen, receiving up to an additional seven weeks of specialized training. Horvath reflects that while the museum’s six-hour day camp barely achieved “one tenth of one percent of that goal, hopefully the kids received a taste of what it is like to be judged as a team and not an individual kid.” Reflects Colton Betlyon, one of the recruits of the camp, when he “saw all of the Drill Instructors,” he realized that the boot camp was not going to be what he was expecting At in-processing, the children were issued an “I survived BOOT CAMP” t-shirt and a uniform cover, or hat, donated by Sergeant Grit Marine Specialties at grunt.com. After being processed into two platoons, the kids began their first round of training at 0930. They must have realized that training wasn’t going to be a picnic when they were told that, rain or shine, they were going to be crawling and scrambling through the mud for six hours. Despite the rain, the first round of training consisted of a crawl through the “big black tube,” the wire crawl, the balance beam, the body drag, and the ammo carry.
State College resident Deb Baier of the Marine Corps and one of the trainers for the day explains that she “had the most fun watching the recruits go through the PT course in all the mud from the unending rain we had that day.” The wire crawl was down and dirty as the children slipped and slid through the thick mud, only to come out at the balance beam that was slick from the rain. According to PT instructor Ron Lenox of State College, “the kids really seemed to love this and one platoon asked if they could crawl through the tube and do the wire crawl a second time!” The kids got even dirtier as they trudged through the muddy body drag and the ammo carry. Horvath reflected, “The rain really added an element of seriousness to the event. I don’t think the kids realized that we would be doing all those activities in the rain. Fortunately, our prior service USN and USMC and civilians conducted their duties without hesitation throughout some really good downpours.” As added by one of the parents and a former soldier in the United States Army, “If it’s not raining, you’re not training.” Read Part Two of Kids’ Boot Camp in the August 26 issue of The Gazette.
The two platoons line up in preparation to face off in the “Kandahar Run Combat Challenge” across the museum field as one of the drill instructors explains the competition.
“Family Values” and a Day at the Millheim Pool An opinion piece by Abby Minor
It isn’t very pleasant to be told that you are “making families uncomfortable.” You think, dear God, am I terrifying young children? Am I transgressing deep moral boundaries, tearing down the social scaffolding upon which our culture is already hanging by a thin thread? Am I doing something so abhorrent, so unpalatable that my fellow citizens have asked a public employee to let me know that families, yes, poor, innocent families are feeling uncomfortable with my behavior? You look around and find that the issue, on this lovely afternoon at the Millheim Pool, is that you are hugging your boyfriend. Yes, hugging. In the water. And families are uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that they have asked the pool manager to stop you. Stop you from laughing, talking, and most of all, stop you from hugging. Of course this is the kind of experience that could get you, at least it certainly got me, thinking about what our culture fears and how, often, those fears are projected onto the wrong subjects. I had to wonder, after being told that I was “making families uncomfortable,” whose definitions of “family” and what litmus test for “discomfort” were at play here. If I am “making families uncomfortable,” I thought, do I stand in opposition to “the family” and what it “values”? Who and what, I wondered, constitutes a family, and who speaks for them? And why when we speak of “family values” aren’t we ever simply speaking of love and affection? “Family” and “values” have become code words for particular political, social, and economic perspectives that have little to do with what many actual families value. To invoke “the family” in defense of a particular social view or political platform is a rotten trick. It implies that anyone who doesn’t share that view or support that platform cannot claim to care about or for families. It pretends to stand for “everyone” while really it stands for only one group of people. Whose beliefs are we defending when we talk about “family values” and whose are we ignoring? Is pacifism a family value? Equity? Feminism? Social and environmental justice? What if your family felt uncomfortable with the military posters in your borough building? Why can we say
that unmarried or young or gay people touching each other in public “makes families uncomfortable,” but not that war does, not that inequality does? I understand that many families, many people, are concerned about how our culture conceives of sex, gender, and the body. What we and our children learn about sex and love is often confusing and contradictory. Anyone who has had even an ounce of contact with the mainstream media has been exposed to the concepts of sex as currency, violence as sexual, and women’s bodies as an appropriate medium through which to advertise potato chips. How any of this is more comfortable than the sight of a nearly-thirty-year-old couple hugging is a mystery to me. How Katy Perry’s saucy promise that she and the rest of her “California Girls” with “Sun-kissed skin so hot we’ll melt your popsicle” which was broadcasting loudly while my boyfriend and I left the pool doesn’t make families uncomfortable is also a mystery. Are any families uncomfortable with the child-size string bikinis that they dress their children in to go swimming, or with the Confederate flag hanging from a residential building on Main Street in Millheim which they walk past on their way to the pool, or when they and their children hear slurs in public? Since when are families, and while we’re at it humans, more comfortable with all of these things than they are with hugging? As far as I know, neither pop songs nor string-bikinis nor hugging are banned from borough property, and I suppose all of us will continue to pay taxes in support of our public institutions and continue to occasionally feel uncomfortable with our fellow citizens’ behavior in those places. Living in a community means, or should mean, understanding that our own discomforts and our neighbor’s discomforts might not be the same. It means recognizing that our personal rules and standards are neither the law of the land nor the law of any particular God. If the worst we suffer is discomfort, at a time when so much of what is happening in Pennsylvania merits outrage, I’d say we’re doing pretty well. And if, as you certainly should be, you are worried about what your children think of gender, sex, and the body, I offer
you this: throw out your television and don’t go to the movies. Teach your daughters that they are worth more than the shape and size of their bodies and the attention they receive from men. Teach your sons that their sense of self should not derive from the power they can wield over women. Encourage your family to think well and to be on the alert for opportunities to re-consider their beliefs. I am not writing to defend the appropriateness of couples hugging in public pools. What I am saying is this: Yes, it is a problem that our culture is obsessed by youth, sex, and power and is saturated with images that powerfully convey those obsessions. Many families (and the rest of us – it is still unclear to me which of us are not members of a family) are aware of this problem. But to suspect the public embrace of a mature couple as the culprit while barely-clothed children play in the pool to strains of Disney-crafted pop stars singing about New York clubbing exploits is a misreading of reality that makes me uncomfortable. And finally: two people hugging is not a threat or a challenge to families. Two people hugging IS a family.

Starting Aug. 29, PennDOT will be making repairs on Route 322 bridges over Puddintown Road, Slab Cabin Run, and Puddintown Bike Trail. The work is expected to last about one month. Work will take place during daylight hours and is weather dependent. There will be no impacts to traffic on Route 322 but drivers will encounter flaggers and an alternating traffic pattern on Route 3012 (Puddintown Road). The Puddintown and College Township Bike Trails may also be impacted during some phases of the bridge repair work. During those times, hikers and bikers on the paths may be delayed as work takes place. Signs will be in place to alert hikers and bikers to the trail impacts. Any equipment on the bike paths will be removed each day by 3 p.m. Patience from hikers and bikers on the paths is appreciated.
Shingles
By Amy Schirf, Centre County Solid Waste Authority
Recycling Tip from CCSWA The Centre County Solid Waste Authority has recently begun an asphalt roofing shingle recycling program. Shingles are accepted at the Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Transfer Station during regular business hours (8 a.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201C;4 p.m. Monday-Saturday). The Authority will accept shingles, nails and tar paper only. Any other material will make the shingles unacceptable for recycling, including any organic material.

Tina Fey is funny â&#x20AC;&#x201C; oh, we already know that. We also know of her involvement with Saturday Night Live as a writer, for her impersonation of Sarah Palin, and for being the power behind 30 Rock.

was the start of her interest in show business. After college, she worked with The Second City, an improvisation theatre based in Chicago. The Second City has become famous as a training ground for other actors such as John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Catherine Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara, Stephen Colbert, and on and on. Along with her description of her time there, Ms Fey also gives the rules of Improvisation. These rules are the basics for shows like SNL and explain why it must be nerve wracking
for the actor, but so much fun for the audience. Bits and pieces of her personal life are told with honesty. She tells of her honeymoon on a cruise that turned almost fatal, her adventures as a mother with an unsuccessful try at breast feeding, her halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty, and why she likes Williamsport, Pennsylvania (it is half way between her home and that of her in-laws, making it a good place for holiday meetings. Being a woman in a male-dominated industry has always been a â&#x20AC;&#x153;good story.â&#x20AC;? Under the humor,
this book reminds us that all sexual bias has not been eliminated. It was surprising that female executives still fight the battles of prejudice that we fought in the 1950s. Again, even these stories are told with a light touch. Bossypants is the type of â&#x20AC;&#x153;showbizâ&#x20AC;? autobiography that I enjoy. I am not interested in who slept with whom or other bits of gossip. What I want is insight into character: I want the story of how the person managed to be come successful, no matter what the field of endeavor. If you are not a fan of SNL or 30 Rock, you will still enjoy reading about a woman who enjoys fame, seems to stay very grounded, and can give lessons on management skills.

The second exhibit, Dr. Calvin P.W. Fisher Sword, showcases a recent Civil War-era gift to the Boalsburg Heritage Museum, the ornate dress sword of Dr. Calvin Peter William Fisher, who served as an assistant surgeon in the 148th Pa Volunteers Regiment. The regiment’s commander, General James A. Beaver, who later became the 20th governor of Pennsylvania and an acting president of Penn State, awarded the ceremonial sword to Fisher for his military service. Evans said the sword was given to the museum by Fisher’s great grandsons in North Carolina, who stated that they wanted it to come home. The Flags of Our Union exhibit offered a diverse sampling of designs used by the states for American flags, from the collection of Boalsburg resident Jim Sorenson. Prior to a June 24, 1912 Executive Order by President Taft that standardized the appearance of U.S. flags, individual states had the right to customize American flags. The most unusual flag on display was a 33-star flag from Oregon in 1859, just prior to the Civil War. The stars were arranged in a Medallion or Double Wreath Pattern, with two concentric circles of stars, four stars in the corners, and a larger star in the center representing Oregon. The next exhibit, Pennsylvania Folk Art, will open on September 1. The show will feature the colorful, decorative folk art painting of Mary Rogowski, quilts by Boalsburg residents, and coverlets and Fraktur from the BHM collection. The Boalsburg Heritage Museum, 304 East Main Street, Boalsburg, is open on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. or by appointment. For information, visit www. boalsburgheritagemuseum.org or call (814) 466-3035.

History Repeats Itself in Boalsburg Looking for descendents of three MemorialDay ladies By Susan Evans
BOALSBURG – So much of life is timing. Just as it was on a particular day in 1864 when three women – Sophie Keller, Emma Hunter, and Elizabeth Myers – found themselves on the same mission as they walked to the small cemetery in Boalsburg to lay flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers. The two teenagers and middle-aged woman shared a vision that would define Boalsburg forever and create a tradition that our country celebrates to this day. And now that sort of mission is being repeated in Boalsburg. A small group of passionate history buffs – Bob Hazelton, Cathy Horner, and Susan Evans, along with genealogist Nancy Taylor – are looking to complete the rest of the story, as they search for clues about the ancestry of these iconic Boalsburg women. Early last spring their worlds collided as they were each on their own paths of discovery about the different ladies. Bob Hazelton had already been researching the women with plans for a history presentation as he’s done in the past with the histories of Scotia, Spring Creek Canyon, and the lost mining town, Erbtown. He was actively collaborating with Nancy Taylor from the Family History Center on Whitehall Road in State College. Cathy Horner and Susan Evans were both volunteers at the Centre County Library and Historical Museum in Bellefonte when they came across a cache of handwritten letters sent to and from the Keller family during the period of the Civil War. The Boalsburg Heritage Museum currently has some of the original letters on display along with the other 50-some transcribed letters for visitors to read. (See Karen Dabney’s article on this page.) Cathy and Bob knew each other from the Centre County Historical Society and offered to bring everyone together to share

information. Several phone calls later a “meeting of the minds” took place which resulted in an instant bond of interest. In the words of Bob Hazelton, “Our collective heads were spinning!” This shared labor of love is a major undertaking requiring weekly meetings, individual detective work and many trips to the library. The discoveries offer fascinating narrative to a story that already had the makings of a great legend. This group is attempting to gain accurate historical data to the story outline and also to make real-world connection to the families involved. For instance, we know that the Keller family still owns the family home on E. Main Street in Boalsburg and that the Myers family descendants have a thriving lineage in Spring Mills. Emma Hunter Stuart’s legacy is well-documented in Penn State’s Special Collections Library at Pattee but we want to know more about how she lived the remainder of her life. Both she and Sophie Keller grew up to become active citizens who paved ways for women in the early 20th century. So, we’re looking for anyone out there who is either a Myers-Keller-Hunter descendant with any photos, or interested parties who might have other pertinent details about the women. This information will be shaped into a future history presentation and a possible publication through the Centre County Historical Society. Please call me, Susan Evans, (814) 466-6565 or e-mail sae21251@ gmail. com if you have further information.

Rhoneymeade Arboretum Receives New Statue Article & photos by Sam Stitzer
The Rhoneymeade Arboretum, Sculpture Garden, and Labyrinth is the new home of a bronze statue titled “Gruppo Uno.” According to Rhoneymeade owner, Richard Morgan, this iconic statue was cast in bronze in 1971 by the late artist Sigrid Christensen (1942-2005). It was cast in Italy, and passed through several hands before finding a home at the J. Orvis Keller Building on the campus of Penn State University, where it has stood for 30 years. PSU decided it was time for Gruppo Uno to move on, and contacted Rhoneymeade personnel, asking if they would like to have the statue, Gruppo Uno stands in a sylvan setting at and perform some refurbishment on it. Rhoneymeade. They jumped at the chance to obtain this work of art. According to Rhoneymead caretaker, Jimmy Lesher, Sigrid Christensen’s family and friends, and Jan Muhlert, Director of Palmer Museum of Art, have agreed that Rhoneymeade is a very suitable new location for Sigrid’s piece. A reception to welcome the new addition was held at Rhoneymeade on Saturday, August 13. Gruppo Uno means “one group”, and depicts several human forms cast as one piece, sharing several appendages. At the reception, Mr. Morgan, two other visitors, and myself debated the meaning of this abstract piece, postulating that it symbolizes the eternal bonds of motherhood and siblings. I guess the beauty of abstract art is that there is no “right”
answer as meaning. Gruppo Uno evokes different feelings and opinions from different viewers. Cynics might say it resembles a genetic experiment gone horribly wrong, but nonetheless, it is a work of the sculptor’s art with a unique beauty. We welcome this great addition to the Rhoneymeade family of artwork on display. Rhoneymeade is located on Rimmey Road, just off route 45 in Potter Township. Rhoneymeade got its name from Leonard Rhone, the Grange Master who founded the Granger’s Picnic, which became the Grange Fair. Rhone finished building the brick farmhouse which still stands there, and gave it the name Rhoneymeade. Current landowner, Richard Morgan, is a retired professor of molecular biology with a passion for works of art, plants, and natural beauty. Rhoneymeade is open free of charge to the public on the second Sunday of each month from April through October. For more information, visit www.rhoneymeade-usa.org.

Car Show Honors Memory of Sam Boob Article & photos by Sam Stitzer
The second annual Sam Boob Memorial Cruise-In Car Show was held in the parking lot of the Penns Valley High School on Saturday, August 13. The show was organized by Sam Boob, Sr. to honor the memory of his son, Samuel Sherman “Sammy” Boob, who was slain two years ago. This show attracted about 32 cars and motorcycles on a day dotted with scattered rainstorms. Sam Boob, Sr. said he was “pleased with the turnout, considering the weather.” The rain held off for the most part, but folks ran for cover when one short-lived downpour hit the show! Since the Boob family and friends are Chevy fans, it was not surprising that nearly half the vehicles in attendance carried the Chevy nameplate. There were many Chevelles, Camaros, Corvettes, and even some vintage Chevy pickups being shown. Some nice Fords, a handful of Chrysler products, and two VW-based dune buggies rounded out the show. A Berry Mini-T4 dune buggy was shown by Jim Bennett of Port Matilda. Most dune buggy bodies require a shortened Volkswagen Beetle chassis, but the T4 uses a full length VW chassis, making it a true four-seater. Jim built the buggy, styled like a Model T Ford, and fitted it up with a 1,600cc engine. Jim also owns another buggy and a Beetle sedan. He transports the T4 buggy in an enclosed trailer, which doubles as the buggy’s garage, since, as Jim says, “I’m running out of
garage space!” A bright red 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle hardtop owned by Dallas Immel caught spectators’ eyes, even on a dreary day. Dallas rebuilt the Chevelle and dropped in a Chevy 454 engine bored out to 461 cubic inches. This beast puts over 500 horsepower to the ground for impressive performance! Brian Myers of Centre Hall rolled in with his blue and white 1982 Camaro coupe. Brian has it set up for serious racing with a Chevy 454 engine bored out to 468 cubic inches, and two 4-barrel carburetors. I asked Brian if he raced the car, and he said he tried, but with all that horsepower, it keeps breaking gears in the rear end. Once he gets some stronger gears, the competition better look out! Shawn McCauley of Howard brought his 1989 Ford Ranger 4WD pickup. It features a high lift and huge tires, and neat hand-painted murals on the hood and both sides. The murals, done by Gary “The Painter” Lamey, show Clydesdale horses pulling the Budweiser beer wagon past a sunset. The colors go perfectly with the brown and gold color scheme of the truck. Shawn also has the names of his kids painted on the truck. It’s a beauty! One of only three motorcycles in the show was Andrew Wian, of Millheim’s 2002 Harley Soft Tail. It’s done up in a nice deep blue and pearl-white flame paint scheme, and has
tall, chrome “ape hanger” handlebars. Andrew said I should sit on it and see how those bars feel. When I did, I felt like I was hanging on the Jungle Gym at the school playground! I guess that’s why they call those bars ape hangers! Not my cup of tea, but it’s a gorgeous bike! The food stand at this show was doing a brisk business around noon. I got the best chili dog and the coldest soda I ever had at a car show! In addition to the food, T-shirts and other items were being sold, and raffle prizes were being awarded throughout the day. Part of the proceeds from the show was donated to the Penns Valley HOPE Fund charity. This show was an enjoyable and successful event, especially considering the less than desirable weather of the day. It served as a fitting memorial to Sammy Boob by celebrating the cars he loved. I think he would be proud. Please see our Facebook page for all the photos from the Sam Boob Memorial Car Show.

Bikers Got Revved Up for Cancer Society Fundraiser Article & photos by Sam Stitzer BELLEFONTE – The Restek Relay for Life Team sponsored the third annual Revved Up for Fun Motorcycle Poker Run on Saturday, August 13. This event is held as a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Heather Bierly and Heather Little are the co-captains of the 15-member team, which raises between $6,000 and $8,000 annually from this poker run. The bike riders pay a registration fee and sign up at the Restek facility near Bellefonte. In a poker run, each rider draws a playing card at the registration desk, then another card at each of four stops along the nearly 80-mile route. The rider with the best poker hand at the end of the ride wins $100. After they returned to Restek, the riders all enjoyed a lunch prepared by Clem’s Barbecue. After lunch, drawings were held for merchandise prizes, including a 32-inch Sony Bravia flat screen TV set! Heather Bierly said that about 65 people had pre-registered for the run, and they have had as many as 150 walk-ins (ride-ins?) in past years. She believed that the weather, with rain threatening, may have limited attendance a bit this year. Nonetheless, the Restek parking lot was a sea of chrome and rumbling exhausts, as riders departed at about 10:30 a.m.
Riders leave the Restek parking lot to begin their 80-mile Poker Run.
Raffle prizes included this Sony Bravia TV.
They enjoyed a scenic ride through the parallel mountain-valley topography of Centre County, rolling through Bald Eagle, Nittany, Brush, and Penns Valleys, and back to Bellefonte, dodging showers along the way, but comforted by the camaraderie and the satisfaction of knowing they were supporting the American Cancer Society.
Riders each took a card from this table to begin their Poker Run.
Registration area was busy before the ride.

CENTRE HALL – A brand new indoor horse show arena on the Grange Fairgrounds in Centre Hall was officially opened at a ceremony on Monday, August 15. The arena provides an area of 150’ by 300’ (45,000 square feet) of covered space for equine events, and is the only one of its kind in the state. It features bleacher seating for 500 spectators. The arena is already booked for events this fall, and well into next year, with inquiries coming in almost daily. The ceremony opened with the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag, and remarks by longtime Fair Committee President, Joe Hartle. Fair Manager, Darlene Confer stepped up to the podium and gave many thanks Grange Fair Manager, to all the people who were involved Darlene Confer thanks in making the arena’s construction all who made the new possible. Senator Jake Corman was arena possible. instrumental in obtaining a $1 million state grant, which was matched with Grange Fair real estate and services. She noted that the new facility combines agriculture and tourism – the number one and two industries of Pennsylvania, and it will provide a boost to the local economy, with trickle down effects on restaurants, hotels, feed stores, and other businesses. Representative Kerry Rita McMullen, president of Benninghoff addresses both the Pennsylvania Quarter Horse the crowd. Association and the Penn Ag Industries Association’s horse council, said “It is the only covered arena (in the state) that can boast not only a premier riding facility for horses, and also the beautiful amenities that you have for exhibitors and spectators.” The association was the first group to use the new arena at its show in July, and Ms. McMullen thanked the Senator Jake Corman Grange Fair hosts for their hospitality. called the arena “a The Pennsylvania Quarter Horse Assofantastic investment” ciation has now made this arena their for the state. exclusive home for all their quarter

Representative Kerry Benninghoff remarked that he “won’t miss the phone calls (from Darlene Confer) asking if the money came yet”, drawing laughter from the crowd. Senator Jake Corman addressed the crowd of onlookers, saying that “We call it a grant, but it’s an investment.” He credited Darlene Confer’s persistence for getting the grant approved in a timely manner. The entire project took just eight months from start to finish, which is unheard of for a project of this magnitude. Darlene Confer began working on the mounds of paperwork for the state grant in December, 2010, reportedly even spending Christmas Eve in the fair office! Her efforts paid off with the new arena being completed in record time. Following the speeches, a ribbon cutting was done by Senator Corman, surrounded by Grange Fair officials and dignitaries to officially open the new arena. A reception finished out the day’s activities. The building was erected by B & D Builders, of Lancaster, PA. Ben Esh, of B & D is Amish, and said that his firm employs about 80 percent Amish workers. The electrical work was sub-contracted out, since, as Ben joked, “The Amish aren’t very good with electricity.” The new arena is a beautiful structure inside and out. Its green roof blends well with the surrounding pastoral land, and features five copper-topped cupolas, giving it the look of a very biiig barn! We welcome this new addition to Penns Valley, and we congratulate the Grange Fair management, and all involved in making a dream come true!

Master Gardeners to at Fair with Help & Presentations Contributed by Penn State Extension
The Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Centre County will be very busy at the Grange Fair this year. In addition to manning their usual booth in the 4-H and Youth Building where they will be answering horticultural questions and offering literature to help homeowners and gardeners, they also will be giving talks on a wide range of gardening subjects. They love to talk â&#x20AC;&#x153;gardeningâ&#x20AC;? so stop by and tell them about your gardening successes as well as your problems. Saturday, August 27 will be Master Gardener HOTLINE DAY at the booth when members who are specially trained to work the Centre County Master Gardener HOTLINE will be present. The public is invited to discuss plant or garden problems with members of the HOTLINE that day from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. The Master Gardeners operate the HOTLINE (814) 355-4897 from 9 a.m. until noon every Monday and Wednesday from May through the end of September. This year the Master Gardeners will be presenting talks and demonstrations on a variety of horticultural subjects including planning and maintaining a home orchard, growing gourds for birdhouses, floral arranging, and cheapskate gardening ideas. All of the Master Gardener presentations will be held under the roof at Gate #2. Two presentations from last year will be repeated and expanded upon this year. Effie Zuck and Lisa Zander-Campbell will present â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elegant Decorating from Your Gardenâ&#x20AC;? on August 28 at 3 p.m. and August 30 at 4 p.m. Effie Zuck is well known in Central Pennsylvania for her creativity in both fresh and dried floral arrangements. If
you are looking for new ideas on flower arranging as well as information concerning the care and harvesting of your flowers, this presentation is for you. The other talk to be repeated is the humorous â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cheapskate Gardeningâ&#x20AC;? by two overly thrifty Master Gardeners, Norm Knaub and Larry Campbell. If you caught their talks last year you already know that they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;experts in being cheap.â&#x20AC;? In addition to entertaining you they will suggest ways for you to garden without spending â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of bucks.â&#x20AC;? Look for them August 31 at 1 p.m. and again at 3 p.m. New this year: a series of three talks on fruit trees and home orchards by Robert Gleim. These presentations will be held in succession beginning at 1 p.m. on Monday, August 29. Another new topic you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growing Gourds for Birdhousesâ&#x20AC;? by Kathy Kiefer, held at 4 p.m. on Monday, August 29 and repeated at 6 p.m. that evening. In addition, Cindy Way will present demonstrations on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Simple Flower Arrangements with Fall Blooming Perennialsâ&#x20AC;? at 1 p.m. August 28 and again at 2 p.m. August 30.

All presentations will be held under the roof of Gate #2 unless otherwise announced.
Entertainment on Tap for this Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grange Fair By Don Bedell
There plenty of entertainment on the schedule at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grange Fair. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the opportunity to see a big name band from the past or even to â&#x20AC;&#x153;catch a rising star.â&#x20AC;? Just a few years back, Miranda Lambert played the Grange Fair and now she is the darling of Nashville, a huge country star and the wife of Blake Shelton! And, who can ever forget that Garth Brooks played the Grange Fair back in 1996 right before he made it big. Things get kicked off at the Grandstand on Thursday night (8/25) with a good old-fashioned â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sock Hopâ&#x20AC;? sponsored by the folks at WOWY, 97.1FM. Grant Armstrong, Cody and Nick Bazoo will be on hand to spin your Sock Hop favorites. According to Nick Bazoo, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play great music from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s, and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s with tons of great memories! Come dressed accordingly. There will be prizes for the best dressed, best dancer, hula hoop contest, trivia and more. There will also be a neat-o juke box and popcorn machine to add to the fun.â&#x20AC;? So, put on your dancing shoes â&#x20AC;Ś (and get out your Poodle Skirt!). On Friday (8/26), things kick into full gear with entertainment starting at noon. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment on three stages; Jubilee Grove, the Southside Stage, and of course, at the Grandstand. Grandstand entertainment on Friday night features Jim Ed Brown and Helen Cornelius. Brown is a country singer who Jim Ed Brown

The Grange Fair began 136 years ago when Leonard Rhone urged his Progress Grange to join their sister subordinate Granges in having a “pic-nik” to which they would invite their neighbors and introduce the Grange Organization and the benefits of membership in such a fraternity. Since then, it’s grown into a real family tradition with some campers coming back generation after generation. Tent sites are passed down to family members as prized possessions. The size of the fair has grown to include 950 tents, 1300 RVs, hundreds of concessions, more than 7,000 exhibit items, amusement rides, livestock, tractor pulling and much more! The fair features numerous exhibits, sale items, and competition exhibits featuring the most talented artists, craftsmen, cooks, and bakers around.

Keystone Heading to Year of Firsts Continues Little League World Series with Ambrose By Les Barnhart It’s not often that a team playing in the Little L e a g u e World Series, held in Williamsport, can consider their games a “home” game but such is the case with the team from Keystone. With players calling Clinton County home, they and their fans live as close as thirty minutes from the Little League headquarters where they will open play on Friday night as they battle fifteen other teams for the right to call themselves World Champions. Keystone became the first Pennsylvania team to reach the World Series since 2005 and will look to give the home state their first World Series crown since Levittown in 1960. The team has a chance to give Clinton County their second World Series title with the first coming in 1948 when Lock Haven sat atop the Little League world. The last hurdle to Williamsport took two days to clear as the finals of the MidAtlantic Regional which started on Sunday was suspended after three innings before being completed on Monday. The persistent rain on Sunday halted play after the three complete innings with the score deadlocked at 0-0. Keystone had yet to have a hit in their three trips to the plate.
By Matt Masullo
When play resumed on Monday, both teams faced different pitchers due to Little League pitch restrictions. After a scoreless top of the fourth, Keystone got the boost their were looking for as with one out, Talon Falls was hit by a pitch which was followed by a Landon Breon single to give Keystone their first hit of the game. The first hit was followed closely by the second as catcher Wyatt Koch hammered a three-run home run over scoreboard in centerfield. Breon had started play on Monday on the mound but allowed a two-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to draw the game within one run. Tyler McCloskey would come in and record the final out of the fifth then add an insurance run with a solo home run in the home half of the inning. Later in the inning a single by Alex Garbrick plated another run to give McCloskey a three run lead as he went back to the mound to record the final three outs that would send Keystone back home for the World Series. The boys open play at 8pm on Friday night against the Great Lakes Region champion, a team from LaGrange, Kentucky. Their game was moved from 5pm to the 8pm start to account for what is expected to be a very large “home” crowd. While tickets are always free, those unable to make to Williamsport can watch the game on ESPN.

It had only taken Marcos Ambrose 105 starts to grab his first Nascar Sprint Cup Series checkered flag, but in the process, he would miss his daughters first day of school. He did it, by defeating last weeks winner, Brad Keselowski, and Kyle Busch in a two lap dash. To say that he is familiar with Watkins Glen would be an understatement. In three Sprint Cup races that he entered, he has two third place finishes and
The Jolly Roger Rises After a Brief Stint on the DL By Matt Masullo
In the past week, the Pirates held true with what they have been good at this season, losing three straight to the first places Brewers, and taking two of three from the second place Cardinals. The Pirates also finished off a series win over the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants. They also made a few rosters moves; optioning former first round pick Pedro Alvarez to Class AAA Indianapolis and recalling Jose Tabita from his stint in the disabled list. It’s funny how the Pirates planned to build around Alvarez, and only seem to be successful this season when he is in the minors. Hopefully, he can figure out his swing (which is helping his batting average remain under the Mendoza Line), or the Bucco’s may be forced to move on without him. The bullpen and pitching staff in general have been on the upswing this past week, helping the Pirates to multiple victories. In their three losses to the Brewers, they lost by a combined seven runs, losing two games by one run apiece. In the two one run losses, Pirates pitchers were on their games. However, like they tend to do, the Pirates

offense stayed in the dugout. The Pirates also have surpassed last years win total with their recent series win over the Cardinals. Standing 13 games out of first place, and still not figuring out the Brewers, it appears highly unlikely that the Pirates are making a run at a division title now, or even a Wild Card birth. Finishing in third place, or even making a miraculous run down the stretch and overtaking the Cardinals for second would be a monumental victory for the Pirates. That could lead to an exciting offseason the Bucco Nation. Free Agents wanting to come to Pittsburgh, and NOT play for the Steelers, having 20,000 plus fans in attendance each home game and maybe, just maybe, making a run at the Division next year.

We are writing this letter to show our appreciation for your support. Repeatedly, we have been inspired by and grateful for the number of people who have volunteered their time, participated in Herbie’s Hometown Loop, and come out for our pre-race pasta dinner all in memory of Jeremy. Funds raised from Herbie’s Hometown Loop continue to be used to fund an annual $1000 scholarship awarded to a Bellefonte Area High School senior intending to pursue science and/or engineering at the collegiate level, and to help build a community track facility for Bellefonte. Plans for the track facility expect to progress throughout the upcoming year. We sincerely appreciate all your support and look forward to seeing you at our future events in memory of Jeremy. Herbie’s Hometown Loop takes place this year on August 20 beginning at 8:30am at the Bellefonte Area Middle School. The Herbstritt Family

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.

Misbehavin’ is Fun!
8/19 8/20 8/21 8/24 8/25
By Pat Park
The joint is certainly jumpin’ at Millbrook Playhouse in Mill Hall. An energetic cast of five, plus piano player, is on the Cabaret Stage in Ain’t Misbehavin’ and I defy anyone to sit without tapping a toe through the evening. The secret to a successful show, especially a musical, is for the audience to feel that the people on stage are having fun. On opening night it was hard to tell who was having more fun, the cast or the people out front. The piano set the mood at the very beginning of the show. Eric Walton is listed as the music director and I presume that he was the man at the piano; if so, I could have listened to him all night. Ah, but then the singers started to come on stage and the action and the music never stopped. Kathryn Allison has a voice to raise the rafters. Her range and control is what I want when I grow up. Her Mean to Me was the blues the way they should be sung. Brand Hanks is smooth and sophisticated with a baritone voice that could charm any man, woman, or child – at least I can speak for the women. He also proved that he could work the audience in his solo, Your Feets Too Big. The picture with this review shows one side of Solomon Kee. Not to take away from the fact that the man has a great voice, the man can move. One of the hardest numbers in the show is Viper and he nailed it. Housso Semon is also very talented and very nice to look at, what my grandson would call “eye candy.” She dances, sings, and looks good. What more does she need! Amelia Lang Wallace has almost grown up on the Millbrook stage. This is her sixth season and she has grown very nicely. I hope we see more of her. She sang and danced with the best of them. Costumes are a personal love of mine and so I have to mention the fantastic period costumes in the show. Beautiful. Since the show is all music credit goes to Randy Davis the director/ choreographer for making use of not only all of the stage but parts of the audience as well.

To The Last Day The Final 153 Days of 2011 A.D. Published December 2011. A true workman who neededth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth, comparing scripture to scripture who has studied to show himself approved! 2 Timothy 2:15 May 21, 2011-October 21, 2011 is a great period for salvation for God’s chosen ones. 153 days = a Great Multitude of Fish which did not break the disciples net. Five months or 153 days of salvation. After Peter drew in the net Jesus then said “Come and Dine.” John 21:12. Come ye who hunger and thirst. Isaiah 55:1. Today is still the day of SALVATION! Jesus said to “watch and pray.” He is waiting on YOU! Do not delay as His coming is nigh, even unto the door! For more information please go to www.studies. com and or You Tube and type in 2011studies. There you will find the answers you may have well been searching for.
