Ag Progress Days Draws Crowds to Rock Springs Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

ROCK SPRINGS – Ag Progress Days, Pennsylvania’s largest outdoor agricultural exposition, was held on August 16 to 18, at the Rock Springs site west of Pine Grove Mills on Route 45. This event features the latest technology and research exhibits, educational programs, and guided tours. In its 36th year at this established site, it’s one of only three agricultural exhibitions in the country that’s sponsored by a major university. The exhibits showcase the latest in Penn State research, as well as provide information on agricultural management practices and changing regulations in the agricultural industry.

The Rock Springs site features more than 80 acres for crops and machinery demonstrations, and 55 acres for indoor and outdoor exhibits.

I dropped in on Thursday, August 18, and found a huge crowd of people taking in the sights and sounds. In the commercial exhibits area, the buzzword was: Solar. Several firms were represented whose specialty was selling and installing solar electric (photovoltaic) panels and systems on homes and commercial buildings to generate electric power from the sun.

I spoke with David Force of Bellefonte, who represented Sun Directed. David showed me one of his solar

electric systems, and explained its operation. The solar panels produce direct current (DC), which flows through an inverter which converts it to 120-volt, 60-cycle alternating current (AC). It is called a gridtied system, which produces electricity as long as the power grid is working. If it produces more power than the customer is using, it feeds the excess back into the grid for credit, thus lowering the customer’s electric bill. David gave an example of a home where husband and wife are both at work during the day, the electric meter might actually run backwards! Force said, regarding solar electricity, “It’s not only good, it’s right.”

In one of the exhibit tents, Kirsten Dubbs, an Extension Educator with Penn State University, was supervising the 4-H Equine Skill-athon for 4-H Horse Program members from all over the state. The girls competed in three age divisions; junior, intermediate, and senior, representing ages from 8 to 18 years. They were taking a written test in Hippology as Pennsylvania’s Dairy Princess hands out I observed. Questions were posed in various milk samples in an exhibit tent. horse-related subjects, such as horse feeds, anatomy, veterinary equipment, and several others. Winners are awarded savings bonds and other prizes.

In the shade of some large trees on the southeast corner of the grounds, a group of YMCA Camp kids were putting on arborist’s harnesses, and pulling themselves up a rope about

15 feet to ring a bell. They were instructed and supervised by Penn State arborist and Professor Jim Savage, and a crew of students. Some of the kids went up slowly, and others seemed to fly up the ropes, but all came down smiling. It looked like fun!

There were rows and rows of tractors and implements on display, including a nice group of antiques. This display really highlighted the name Ag Progress, since it showed how far agricultural technology has advanced in recent decades. The Pasto Agricultural Museum on the grounds underscored this feeling of progress with its displays of horse-drawn antique equipment. One machine used a horse treadmill for power, and one even used a dog treadmill, which must have kept Rover slim and trim!

I enjoyed my visit to Ag Progress Days, and I received a great appreciation for the agriculture industry and the people involved in it at all levels. It was also good to see that my alma mater, Penn State University, has not forgotten its roots as the Farmer’s High School, as it was known long ago.

Congratulations to all who helped make this exposition a premiere event here in Centre County.

Centre County TRIAD – Citizens Police Academy for Seniors

By Brian E. Bassett

Senior citizens will gather from 8 a.m. to noon at various locations in the State College area Monday, September 12 through Friday, September 16 to attend the TRIAD Citizens Police Academy. Information presented during this free program will be of great value to senior citizens who wish to stay safe in their homes – and in their communities.

“This program will be presented in a oneon-one atmosphere to ensure the best-possible learning environment,” emphasized Helen Evans, contact person for the annual event.

Evans can be reached at (814) 237-8932.

TRIAD is not an acronym. The name was adopted in 1988 to represent the joining of three groups – the sheriff’s department, local police chiefs, and area seniors – to address and realize a common goal.

TRIAD holds regular one-hour meetings each second Thursday of the month during which attendees enjoy a one-hour presentation that is dedicated to a single subject.

Most meetings are held at the Lifelink Building – the new ambulance building on Puddintown Road; others are held at the

Patton Township borough building.

Subject matter covered at recent-past meetings included: identity theft; health care; how to keep your home safe from fire and fire-causing electrical concerns in the home; game-control officer responsibilities followed by a question and answer session; RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program); a tour through the Centre County Correctional Facility (to be held again, in October, 2011); explanation of different departments in the Pennsylvania State Police; and EMT (Emergency Medical Technicians) – who they are and what they do.

Senior Safety Program – Monday

through Friday, September 12 through 16 • Monday – State College Borough building: Overall view of the criminal justice system by Judge Brad Lunsford; Domestic violence by Detective Deirdre Fishel; Identity theft by FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) Agent Steve Collins.

Historic Schoolhouse on the Move – Again!

Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

REBERSBURG – The historic one-room Gramley Schoolhouse in Rebersburg was moved on August 17, and oddly enough, this was not the first move for this structure. The school was originally constructed in 1838, and was located on Back Road, east of Rebersburg. It was located on land that had been the Gramley family farm, and thus became known as the Gramley School. It was part of the Miles Township “Two Mile” school plan, where a school was located every two miles along Brush Valley Road (Route 192), so no student would have to walk more than one mile to school.

The school was used for eight grades until 1921, when it was closed. The building sat vacant until 1924, when it was disassembled

and moved to Town Lane Road in Rebersburg, south of the Miles Township High School, across from the cemetery. It reopened in the fall of 1924, with two grades occupying its classroom. In its latter years, the Gramley building saw duty as a gymnasium, a storage room, and as a kindergarten classroom.

The high school became an elementary school, and was expanded southward to within about 12 feet of the old Gramley building. This proximity is what prompted the most recent move. The Penns Valley School District’s insurance carrier determined that the old wooden structure posed a fire hazard being so close to the new school, and raised the district’s insurance premiums accordingly.

Rather than tear down the Gramley school and lose an important piece of local history, a citizens committee, under the arms of the township supervisors, was formed and raised the funds ($26,000) to move the school about 200 feet south to a parcel of township land. In 2009, the district agreed to sell the Gramley building to the township for one dollar. The committee plans to make the school into a museum.

GIFT CERTIFICATES

To make the move, the committee contracted the Earl Miller & Sons House Moving Company, located in Everett. This firm is headed by 81-year-old Earl Miller, who employs his two sons and a grandson.

To move the 30-ton building, the Millers first knocked holes in the building’s foundation, and slid huge steel I-beams lengthwise under the building. Next, two longer beams were placed sideways under the structure. Rollers were placed between the sets of I-beams and the building was pulled sideways off its foundation. The long beams were removed and two sets of dolly wheels were placed under the back end of the remaining beams, and a fifthwheel hitch was bolted to the front. Earl Miller hooked his Freightliner tractor to the hitch, effectively turning the building into a giant tractor trailer. He backed the building into the grassy field behind the parking lot, then drove it forward and downhill to the newly constructed foundation. The building was rolled onto the new foundation to complete the move.

The actual move only took a few minutes, but preparations went on for a day and a half.

Watching the preparations became a spectator sport for the citizens of Rebersburg, with a crowd of nearly two dozen people watching at times. Many of the watchers were retirees with memories of attending the Gramley School decades ago. Citizens Committee member and local historian, Vonnie Henninger recalled attending fourth and fifth grades at the school in the 1950s. “There was no plumbing, no toilets,” she remarked.

The students used the toilets in the adjacent high school, and also went there for lunches, which were prepared in Millheim, and driven to Rebersburg.

Vonnie told of a day in 1947 when school teacher Myles Breon passed out at his desk, and died from a sudden heart attack. Student Tommy Rishel, who sat in the front row and witnessed this calamity from just a few feet away, reportedly jumped from his seat, shot back the aisle, out the door, and ran all the way home at full speed to get his mother! By the time help arrived, it was too late to save Mr. Breon.

Another spectator, Barbara Abbott, remembers helping with one of the school’s last kindergarten classes in 1996, when her

The school moves forward to the new site.

The school arrives safely at its new foundation. daughter attended there. Many other nostalgic stories circulated among the group, and everyone there was glad to see the old school being preserved. I heartily agree with them!

Moving the school building is just the first step in this project. Much refurbishing and painting need to be done, and the citizens committee is looking for Gramley School memorabilia to include in the school’s reincarnation as a museum.

Working on the building will be included in the Centre County United Way’s Day of Caring on October 6. For more information, call Vonnie Henninger at 814-349-8960.

The movers (L to R): Earl, Roy, Matthew, and Randy Miller took pride in a job well done.

Editor’s Prologue

Letters To The Editor

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

Thanks for YourSupport

By now, many of our readers are snuggled into their “homes away from home� at The Grange Fair. It’s a tradition handed down from generation to generation – an extended community reunion held once each year for the past 136 years. I daresay there are a few camping families who are ancestors of the original Grangers. We’ve extended our usual free Gazette distribution to include The Grange Fair – this week’s issue – packed with all the schedules and some inside information about where to go and what to see.

Writers Sam Stitzer and Amy Debach Confer will be at the fair every day. Brian Baney, photographer extraordinaire, will be creating a photo album with his candid impressions. We’ll be happy to share their observations with you in the September 2 issue.

But that’s not all you’ll find in the September 2 issue. It’s not only our Labor Day weekend issue, but also the big Football Preview Guide, as Penn State takes on Indiana the following day – and high school football gears up.

In the midst of these monumental events, a smaller event of great importance took place at the Mid-State Airport near Black Moshannon Park last Saturday (8/20). Brian Baney felt privileged to attend the WWII Fly In & 70th Anniversary, taking far more priceless pictures than we were able to print in this issue. Please read his article and see a few of the photos inside – the rest of the photos are on our Facebook page. Brian brought us so many fine stories from the dozen or so WWII vets that attended, we’ve saved one for the September 9 Patriot Day feature. Thank you to Shawn Kirk and all the volunteers who gathered these priceless displays and mementoes, and for the care with which they were displayed. The last time my mom’s WAC uniform looked that good was when she wore it with pride in 1945.

Also in this issue, there are ways for you to get involved in your communities. The Mountaintop Pool was closed this year for the first time in decades. The pool association is confident that they can recruit volunteers and donations to reopen next summer. Perhaps you can help.

Also, Brian Bassett outlined the upcoming TRIAD Senior Police Academy to be held in the Centre Region from September 12 to 16. It’s a program to educate and empower seniors to remain safe in their homes and communities. Join them!

Those of you who enjoy theatre and music were faced with “an embarrassment of riches� these past few weeks. Read about Menopause, the Musical, Shakespeare in the Park, folk legend Steve Earle’s performance, and this weekend’s children’s production of Charlotte’s Web at the Boal Barn. It’s also the last weekend for Lemont’s Friday Concerts on the Green; this one starting with a pot-luck picnic at 6 p.m.!  You have two more summer weekends to reconnect with relatives, nap in your hammock, and spend quality time with your family. Have a picnic. Ride the Ferris wheel. Chuckle with The Taming of the Shrew. Take the kids to Charlotte’s Web. Have a hot sausage sandwich – heck, have two! You deserve it. As I write this, I sincerely hope that this weekend is flooded with a deluge of fond memories - and not from Hurricane Irene.

Be safe.

She cares.

She’s humble.

She gives of herself freely.

She has helped so many neighbors.

IT’S TIME TO HONOR HER Nominate your good neighbor as one of the

Top 11 Centre County Women of 2011

Do you know a Centre County woman who helps others, donates her time, or goes that extra mile to make others’ lives better? She could be a teacher, medical professional, government worker, business owner, charity worker, or volunteer. What counts is that she unselfishly makes a difference in her world.

Not Very Funny To the Editor, I was surprised to find out the Gazette would run an article on Rhoneymeadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent proud acquisition of Sigrid Christensenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sculpture, Gruppo Uno. Doubt arose about whether or not a weekly could appropriately cover the bittersweet relocation of an abstruse sculpture from PSU to Rhoneymeade Sculpture Garden. Doubt was confirmed when I read, crestfallen, the belittling caption under the front coverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image of the bronze, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wonder if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ticklish?â&#x20AC;?

While some readers may have come to expect glib, reductive captions to lure them into reading further, I have not. The relocation of Sigridâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sculpture to Rhoneymeade is supposed to begin healing wounds between Sigrid (a beleaguered artist who suffered tragedies), her family, and Penn State. As a serious Professor of Art, Sigrid would surely have been pleased with critical analysis of her sculpture. Instead, a silly caption, undeservedly, adds insult to injury. I was truly embarrassed.

If I was a family member, I would be hurt. Please treat more serious enterprises differently.

James Lesher Rhoneymeade Garden Manager President, Rhoneymeade Inc. ED: One of an editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-standing traditions is to create headlines and teasers to entice readers. When I saw that photo, I was â&#x20AC;&#x153; inspired â&#x20AC;? to write that playful caption. I should have resisted the urge. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter that I meant well. It matters that you, and perhaps others, were offended . Please accept my apology. Sam Stitzer, author of the article, had nothing to do with my front-page teaser. I hope you felt he reported the statue relocation with the proper respect. Thank you for melding nature and sculpture on your beautiful property â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and graciously sharing it with your neighbors.

Catholic High School Option for Centre Country Students

BOALSBURG – After the first half of their PT training, the kids were allowed to clean up a bit for “chow call” at 1200. Though some of the children ate packed lunches prepared for them at home, most of the recruits were provided with Meals-Ready-

BOALSBURG – Centre County will soon have a new high school. Saint Joseph’s Catholic Academy is set to open for 2011/2012 school year for students in grades 9 and 10. Located in Boalsburg, SJCA will be in the old Boalsburg Elementary/ Harris Township High School which is currently being renovated for the Catholic high school.

Although the high school will only be open for ninth and 10th grades this school year, the school hopes to enroll juniors for fall 2012 and then seniors in fall 2013. SJCA also hopes to enroll 150 to 200 students in the beginning, eventually up to 500 once all four grades have been added.

To date 38 students have enrolled. While students are expected to attend school-sponsored mass and other special services, SJCA is open to all students regardless of faith.

Last August the Board of Trustees for Saint Joseph hired Dr. Doug Bleggie, a former Associate Professor of Education at St. Francis University, as their principal and CEO. Dr. Bleggie has also served as an English teacher, a high school principal, a Superintendent of Schools, and an adjunct professor at Wilkes University.

“The leadership ability and vast educational background that Dr. Bleggi has will be a tremendous asset for the academy,” said St. Joseph’s Board of Trustees VP Robert Shearer, “We are truly blessed to have someone with

Here, the recruits lined up in the museum parking lot as they were taught the proper way to hold a rifle while standing at attention and while marching in time with the other members of their platoon. Baier commented that “At the end of the day, they really did a good job in marching. I was impressed with their seriousness of the weapon as well.”

In fact, the arms and marching session was the favorite of several of the children, many of whom were awe-struck at being able to handle such realistic weapons.

While State College currently has another catholic school, Our Lady of Victory Catholic School, OLVCS only goes up to the 8th grade.

Tuition for the upcoming school year is $6,500 a year and that covers all student costs – textbooks and instructional supplies, library fees, student parking, etc. – except fees to participate in PIAA athletics. Tuition assistance is available. Tuition payments can be made annually, biannually, quarterly or monthly over a 10- or 12-month period.

Saint Joseph’s first day of school is August 30 and will follow the same Academic calendar as Our Lady of Victory.

The 2011 version of AMERICAN CASINO GUIDE by Steve Bourie is now available. If you are traveling anywhere in the United States and enjoy visiting the local gambling establishments, you need this book.

Although the guide is full of good advice, the biggest section is a state-bystate breakdown of the gambling laws and traditions as well as the location and facts on each casino in that particular

state. Besides explaining the types of gaming and the size of the casino floor, the guide lists how many rooms are available and their price range.

It provides information on RV parking, restaurants, prices at the buffet, minimum age, and if liquor is served. The phone number and Web site are also included.

The first quarter of the book is a collection of articles written by gambling experts. Covering a large range of subjects such as including the best bets in a casino (craps and blackjack, if played properly), how to take advantage of the comp system, and how to pick a machine, you’ll get the inside scoop directly from those in-the-know. There are also chapters explaining how to play various games and

how to tell if your gambling is becoming a problem.

The chapter that shocked me was the one on the Las Vegas resort fees. Casino hotels in Vegas now charge an extra fee to cover the use of things that were once included like the swimming pool, parking, free wifi, etc. This was a heads-up as a reminder to ask questions, because the fees can come as a surprise after reservations are made.

The last quarter of the book is full of coupons. That’s right – coupons! These coupons are good for everything from a free day of car rental to free drinks or appetizers. To be honest, most of the “freebies” already come with membership in the casino’s slot club, but I did find several that I will be using.

To those of you who rarely go to a casino, let me get a word in about slot

clubs. This is a club with no fee for joining or dues once you are a member. All that is required of you is to stop by the promotion booth in any casino, show ID, and sign up.

The casino then can follow your playing and reward you. It is the only way to get treated to the free rooms, meals, and cash that are offered as promotions (also known as “comps”).

AMERICAN CASINO GUIDE is a good resource for the occasional gambler as well as the seasoned one. I get one about every five years, but so many states are now adding facilities, that it is hard to keep up. I would hate to be driving through Oklahoma and miss a fun place just off the highway! Now, thanks to the handy Guide, I won’t miss a thing!

P.S. - The 2012 edition will be out in January.

How You Can Help Mountaintop Pool Closed, Seeks Help to Reopen Article & Photos by Sam Stitzer

SNOW SHOE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Up in the northern tier of Centre County, high atop Snow Shoe Mountain, lies the borough of Snow Shoe. This town and the neighboring villages of Moshannon, Clarence, and Pine Glen make up what is known as the Mountaintop area. Back in 1968, the Mountaintop Swimming Pool was constructed in Snow Shoe; it opened in 1969. The pool has been a staple of recreation for citizens of the Mountaintop area for more than four decades, drawing large crowds of people enjoying the aquatic recreation.

This summer, for the first time in its history, the Mountaintop Pool did not open for business. The pool is in need of maintenance and a general refurbishing, and the funding and volunteer labor is just not there this year. Following his predecessor Bruce Houck, Pool Association member, Raymond Wozniak has done all the maintenance on the pool for the last 15 years, taking care of the annual draining and filling of the pool, patching cracks and holes in the

walls, rewiring pumps, monitoring chemicals, and other tasks, all on a voluntary basis. The job has become too much for one man with no funding.

The Pool Association members emphatically stated that they are not giving up on their pool. They are determined to reopen next summer. The association members are all residents of the area, and have fond memories of good times there. Amanda Yost remembers that on opening day, years ago, a line of people waiting to buy pool memberships would stretch from the pool entrance to the tennis courts, about 100 feet away. Ali Snyder shares that same memory of standing in line, eagerly waiting to get in.

Memberships have declined in recent years, perhaps due to many other activities competing for familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time. Still, the need is there. Pool Association President, Tom Taylor, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want a safe place for kids to come during the day and Mom and Dad know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be safe while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have healthy fun.â&#x20AC;? Taylor also stated the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to the community, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to turn any kid away because he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to pay.â&#x20AC;?

The Pool Association is planning several fundraising events this fall, beginning with a Fun Run for kids at the Snow Shoe Borough Fall Festival on September 17. This festival will also feature a carnival and a car Graffiti-adorned rafters in bath house show some show. On October 1, they of the poolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.

On October 22, a benefit dance will be held in the Snow Shoe Fire Hall. These events are open to all, and the proceeds will benefit the pool associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts.

The Pool Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s positive attitude was summed up nicely by school nurse and association member Ali Snyder, who said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hard working, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re passionate, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do it!â&#x20AC;?

Monetary donations are needed, and the association members disclosed that an anonymous donor has agreed to match donations up to $8,000. For more information or to make a donation, the Pool Association can be contacted at mountaintoppool @hotmail.com, or the Mountaintop Pool Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page. Donations can also be mailed to P.O.Box 9, Snow Shoe, PA 16874.

Weekly Entertainment

Want a Change? Go see Menopause!

The State Theater, which has gone through changes of its own during its lifetime, was the perfect setting for Menopause,The Musical. Patti Gardner, Margot Moreland, Carolynne Warren, and Fredena J. Williams comfortably carried a two-hour program without intermission.

With tremendous humor, they led the audience through the normal cycle of a woman’s life using songs such as Chain of Life and My Guy with lyrics altered to suit the menopause theme.

Near the finale, Fredena Willaims brought down the house with her rendition of Tina Turner’s New Attitude.

There were solos as well as quartets and hilarious stand-up comedy that showcased the talents of these four seasoned entertainers. Although the audience was predominantly female, the men attending slowly gave in to the music and humor of the program.

I’d recommend Menopause, The Musical to women of all ages and men who wish to gain insight into the complexities of the women in their lives. The ultimate message we left with was: Don’t take life too seriously! Laugh at yourself!

guitars, but at the end, he rocked with an electric guitar.

His wife, Allison Moorer, has an independent career as a recording artist. In the concert, she sang some lead vocals, and her sweet, clear voice complimented and contrasted with Earle’s on their duets and in backup vocals. Also a multiinstrumentalist, Moorer played keyboard, guitar, accordion, and tambourine.

Earle’s devotion to Moorer was tenderly expressed as he sung his sweet romantic ballad, Every Part of Me, “I love you with all my heart, all my soul, every part of me.”

Earle said he co-wrote Days are Never Long Enough with Moorer, “specifically so we’d have a song to sing together for a long time.” They faced each other, singing into the same mic, voicing the love that radiated between them.

Earle prefaced his song, City of Immigrants, by stating his belief that “immigration is the lifeblood of our country. It’s made us who we are.” He also sang Dixieland, a view the Civil War through the eyes of an Irish immigrant who joined the Yankees.

Earle expressed his concern about the effects of strip mining on the people and land as voiced by an elderly man in The Mountain.

Additional members of the band included Will Rigby on drums; Kelley Looney on bass and guitar; Chris Masterson on electric guitar, electric guitar, mandolin, and pedal steel; and Eleanor Whitmore on fiddle, guitar, and mandolin. Masterson and Whitmore also perform together as The Mastersons, and have recorded a CD together.

Moorer, Looney and Masterson sang lead vocals on a few songs, and provided backup vocals along with Whitmore.

Earle sang many of his other popular tunes, including Heaven or Hell, Guitar Town, Molly-O, Someday, I am a Wanderer, and My Old Friend the Blues. A strong supporter of the post-Katrina recovery of New Orleans, which he says is the musical heart of America, Earle played a street musician in the HBO production about it, Treme, and wrote a song, This City, for the show.

The crowd gave the band three standing ovations, winning two encore performances – six songs including the fan favorites, Hillbilly Highway, featured in the movie Brokeback Mountain, and The Devil’s Right Hand.

Referring to the State Theatre, Earle asked the audience, “Do you realize how lucky you are to have this place?”

STATE COLLEGE – On Monday, August 22, acoustic recording artist Steve Earle, three-time winner of the Grammy Award for contemporary folk album, brought his music and message to The State Theatre’s sold-out crowd of fans and local musicians. Earle, his wife and fellow musician Allison Moorer, and their electric live band, the Dukes (and Duchesses), are touring North America to promote his 14th studio album and first novel. Both are titled I’ ll Never Get Out of This World Alive, after a Hank Williams song.

Like Williams, Earle became an addict, but his story had a happier outcome. Now recovered and married to the lovely, gifted Moorer, the couple has a 16-month-old son and a determination to share their progressive message through their songs to help bring positive change to the world.

Introducing his song, Jerusalem, Earle said the country of Israel was “the size of this theater, and all of these people are fighting about how to worship the same God.” He said that people asked him why he kept pushing for peace when it was a lost cause, and he told them, “I am a recovering heroin addict, and I can’t afford to believe in a hopeless case or a lost cause. So I’m going to keep singing this song until I die or it comes true.”

Earle’s sound is flavored with the country music of his Texas roots, but goes beyond them to embrace elements of blues, folk, rock, bluegrass, a touch of Irish music, and even a sea shanty.

His gravely, roughedged voice fits the music he sings: love songs, difficulties of the common folk, and stories about environmental and social issues. For most of the concert, he played acoustic instruments, mandolin, banjo, bouzouki, harmonica, and a conPhoto by Don Bedell See our Facebook page for all of Don’s photos stantly changing variety of acoustic from the Steve Earle concert

Picnicking with “Shakespeare in the Park” More performances Aug. 26-28

By Karen Dabney

What could be more perfect on a beautiful summer evening than a picnic in the park with kids playing, teens throwing Frisbees, and a free outdoor play? The Nittany Valley Shakespeare Festival, now in its fourth year, is offering free performances of Shakespeare’s comedy, The Taming of the Shrew, in Centre Region parks for theater lovers of all ages. The hour-long abbreviated version of the play is ideal for younger audiences and for those new to Shakespeare.

The NVSF opened their Shakespeare in the Park performances last weekend at Juniata College and at Orchard Park in State College.

This coming weekend, they will stage plays at Sidney Friedman Parklet in State College (formerly Central Parklet) at 6 p.m. on Friday, August 26 and Saturday, August 27. For those who prefer a theater setting, The NVSF will perform “Shakespeare in a Box: The Taming of the Shrew” at the State Theatre on Sunday, August 28 at 1 p.m., with a ticket price of $10.00.

Sunam Ellis, who played the heroine Katherine, said, “This is the first show my husband can bring my kids to and have a picnic. They’re more than happy sitting in the grass watching mom act.”

Director Charles Dumas, professor of theater at Penn State, said in a written statement that that making the comedy accessible to today’s audiences was difficult. “The very idea of taming anyone is abhorrent to our sensibilities....Yet with good actors a different story may be effectively conveyed. Kate’s journey is not one of submission (to her husband) but one of reconciling, and she chooses to take it because of her growing love. Through that love, she tames the tamer and transforms the transformer.”

Ellis agreed. “We’re trying to convey that it’s about love and not obedience....I tried to convey Kate’s underlying pain and hurt of being an older sister of an adored younger sister. She isn’t willing to settle for just any guy.”

Gordon Robinson played the hero, Petruchio, who won Kate’s love by unconventional means and calmed her fiery rebelliousness. To make the play work for modern audiences, he said that changes were added to make Kate more of Petruchio’s equal. “It’s a tricky show to do.”

The casual outdoor setting helps dispel a commonly held notion of Shakespeare as highbrow entertainment for the elite, and restored this entertaining comedy to its original intent, accessible theater for the masses. The audience at Orchard Park laughed and clapped, and both children and adults went up to the actors after the play, sharing their delight.

All of the actors’ performances were enjoyable. Especially noteworthy were the wonderfully expressive facial expressions of the shrewish Katherine, and those of Hortensio

Katherine’s sweet younger sister Bianca was played by Julia Laplante, and her father Baptista was performed by Chris Hults.

Bianca’s suitors, the elderly Gremio, Petruchio’s friend Hortensio, and Lucentio, were played by Daren Donofrio, Will Snyder, and Max Hults, respectively. Jo Dumas performed the roles of the lusty widow and the servant woman.

The Nittany Valley Shakespeare Festival’s artistic director, Susan Riddiford Shedd, founded the NVSF a few years after the State College Shakespeare Festival’s director Charles Dumas moved to Philadelphia and his troupe disbanded. She said that she had directed As You Like It for Dumas years ago, and this year he is directing her summer Shakespeare series.

“I am an actor trained mostly in the classics,” Shedd stated, “and wanted to make sure the community I now call home had a Shakespeare Festival....We have made great strides just this past year with the addition of the new play series, Camp Bill! After School, along with our traditional New Year reading of Under Milkwood and free summer series.”

“Each person working with the Festival does so on a volunteer basis and contributes everything from snacks, to props, to carpooling.... Everyone pitches in to make it all come together.”

History of The Grange Fair

Since then, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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!

GRANGE FAIR â&#x20AC;&#x201C; MOVING IN (photos by Sam Stitzer)

George Traxler, from Aaronsburg, begins assembling his tent porch, with assistance from his son, David. The Traxlers have tented at the fair for eight years. Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend, Sarah Stockhausen (not in photo) is from Delaware, and is attending her first Grange Fair.

Paul and Barbara Mark, of Spring Mills dry out their tentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carpet.

They put the carpet in on Sunday, but the tent was flooded later that day in a heavy rainstorm.

George Traxlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s porch is more like half a house! It contains two sets of bunk beds for his five children and three foster children. A large tarp will cover the entire tent and porch. It breaks down into several small sections for transport in Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck.

Ron Fomich, of Centre Hall, hangs a string of decorative lights on his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tent. Ron and his wife, Glenda, have tented at this location since 1974. Glendaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather, Lester Rossman obtained the tent site back in the 1930s, and it has been handed down through the family.

How fancy can you get? Kurt Breon, of Millheim made a partition complete with wainscoting, wall sconces, and a fake fireplace for his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tent. A lighted ceiling fan completes the look. Years ago, Kurt and his family tented in several other tents when their occupants could not attend the fair. He got a permanent space 10 years ago.

Retired Penns Valley school teacher, Milford â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peteâ&#x20AC;? Buchanan hangs a banner support on his tent porch. His granddaughter, Lexi Buchanan, visiting from Maryland, waits to hang the banner. Mr. Buchanan has been tenting at the fair for 40 years. He taught at Penns Valley High School for 37 years.

Penns Valley Group Plans Community Center Fundraising Campaign Kicks off at Grange Fair

By Sam Stitzer

A group of Penns Valley area residents hopes to break ground on a 52,000-squarefoot community center, to be called the Ram Community Centre, in October of this year. They hope to have raised $1.5 million of the $5 million construction cost by that time. If all goes according to plan, the new center will open in June of 2012. The committee behind this huge endeavor is headed

by Chris Hosterman, a 1968 Penns Valley graduate and lifelong resident, who served on the Penns Valley school board in the 1990s.

The original idea was conceived in 2007, when committee members proposed adding a field house, mainly for the school, but which would also be open to the community. In January 2010, they expanded their plans to include a much larger facility with an indoor running track, basketball court, competition swimming pool, therapy pool, large wrestling room, sauna, locker rooms and a catering kitchen.

A fiscal reality check caused the committee to downsize their plans earlier this year to a two-story design which would house a basketball gym, a cardio and weightlifting room, a trainers’ room, four multipurpose rooms, locker rooms and showers on the first floor. The YMCA of Centre County has agreed to lease and run this recreation space.

The second floor would have several tenants, including a child-care center, a senior center, and a 10,000-square-foot medical facility.

A private fundraising campaign will

pay for the construction of the building, estimated to be about $5 million. The annual cost of operating the facility will be covered by businesses and organizations that lease space. Committee member Alan Darr pointed out that “It’s not a school facility, and is not funded by local tax dollars, nor is it a place just for a bunch of jocks. It’s truly a community center.”

The facility would be on Penns Valley Area School District land, next to the high school along Route 45, in Penn Township. Plans for the facility would allow for the Ram Centre leaders to possibly add a small swimming pool in the future. In July, The Penns Valley Area school board approved a 30-year lease of property for the center, starting at the rate of $8,800 a year, with annual increases based on the rate of inflation.

The fundraising campaign will kick off at the Grange Fair, with coffee gatherings in the grandstand every morning (Friday, August 26 to Thursday, September. 1) from 6:30 a.m. to 8 a.m. Committee members will be present to provide details about the Ram Centre to the public, and to answer any questions they may have.

The Ram Centre promises to be a valuable asset to the Penns Valley community, providing much needed space for athletic and social events in the area. For more information, go to http://pvramcentre.org/ or call Chris Hosterman at (814) 880-7957.

Keystone Enjoying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home Busch Edges Johnson Fieldâ&#x20AC;? Advantage in at Michigan Williamsport

By Matt Masullo

By Les Barnhart

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what the sport may be, playing at home is always a plus. While the team from Keystone Little League isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t technically playing at â&#x20AC;&#x153;homeâ&#x20AC;?, being less than an hour from home makes them by default, the home team. The fans have turned out to support the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Blue Machineâ&#x20AC;? as they have rebounded from the opening loss to La Grange, Photo by Jesse Lane Photography Kentucky in a game that was a prelude to the excitement that this team of young men would bring to before a crowd of more than 32,000 at the diamond in their following three games. Lamade Stadium, the Pennsylvania crowd

With their 7-5 win over Warner Robins was silenced if not a bit stunned after their (Georgia), Keystone entered their game last â&#x20AC;&#x153;boys in blueâ&#x20AC;? fell behind 3-0 heading to night needing one more win to advance to the bottom of the first inning. Only a night the United States Championship Game on before, Keystone had routed Louisiana 10-0 Saturday. Win that game and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a spot in the in just four innings and for a brief moment; World Series Championship game against the thought crossed some minds that perhaps the same could happen to Keystone. That the winner of the International bracket.

In their win over Georgia, played thought lasted about as long as it took for the commercials to run in between the top and bottom of the inning as Keystone wasted no time in striking for six runs of their own to take a lead they would not give back.

Georgia trimmed the lead to 7-5 following a two-run home run by Jake Fromm in the top of the fourth inning. Tyler McCloskey once again came on late to shut the lid.

He was called on to relieve Ethan Watkins in the fifth inning. McCloskey came on in a bases loaded situation with two outs but struck out Logan Fink to end the threat and preserve the two run lead. Watkins had come on to relief starter, Trebor Nicodemus.

McCloskey stayed on for the sixth to face the heart of the Georgia lineup. After getting an important out that would mean he would face Fromm, their most dangerous hitter, with no one on. That would mean a home run would only cut the lead in half.

McCloskey would get Fromm to fly out to center field after the hitter fouled off several pitches. With two outs, Georgia would get two runners on courtesy of a walk and a base Carson and Kaden Kline have enjoyed rooting hit. McCloskey would rally and induce a their favorite home team on in the Little League WorldSeries. groundout back to him for the final out.

A Quest and an Obsession: Bellefonte Teener League Frey Wins Nittany Pro-Am Two Friends Hit the Road to Hold Registrations and Tournament for Happy Valley Tryouts

By Les Barnhart

Trip Is Part of Their Mission to See a Game at Every College Football Stadium in the Country

Since 2008, Jarrett Singer and Al Botta have been on a rather unorthodox quest: to watch a college football game in every Division I-A football stadium in the country. They’ve started the website CollegeFootballQuest.com to keep fans updated on their progress, and this year one of their stops will be Happy Valley, to watch the Nittany Lions take on the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday, September 10. This time, they’re bringing a Winnebago and, Botta says slyly, “that could change everything.”

Though their quest didn’t officially get underway until a few years ago, Singer says the seed of the idea was planted even earlier, in his senior year at the University of Florida when he enrolled in a course called Coaching Football. “It was not the easy ‘A’ that it sounds like,” Singer says. “You had to do a lot of work building a playbook and scouting an opponent. I learned a lot and as a result my ideal seat in the stadium is the first row of the upper deck in the middle of the end zone, where I can better see critical plays develop.”

Since then, they’ve had an opportunity to see a lot of those critical plays develop. In the first year of their quest, at a game in DeKalb, Illinois, between the Central Michigan Chippewa’s and the Northern Illinois Huskies, Singer and Botta watched as Northern Illinois battled back from a twenty-four point deficit to force overtime, only to throw an interception and lose. “Exciting games like that keep us on the Quest,” Botta says.

The local food doesn’t hurt, either. In each city, Singer and Botta seek out the eateries that students and fans flock to, especially those that give their diners food challenges.

“The competitive spirit takes over,” Singer says to explain the weight they inevitably pick up on game weekends. When it comes to the best local restaurant they’ve found, though, there isn’t any competition. Both agree that Cagle Steaks in Lubbock, Texas, stands head and shoulders above the rest.

“Once we own a private plane, we’ll probably go back to Lubbock for dinner often,” Botta says with a grin.

And even their sports experiences are not always limited to college football. When they visited Yager Stadium in Oxford, Ohio, to watch Miami of Ohio play the Ohio Bobcats, they also found time to stop in at Goggin Ice Center to watch the Redhawks take on the Northern Michigan Wildcats. Singer cites that hockey game as one of his most interesting experiences during the Quest. “I had never before been to a game at the college level, despite my love for the sport,” he says.

The Quest has given them an opportunity see a lot of things about America’s college towns they might have otherwise missed. They cite touring West Point, being in Austin, Texas, on game day, and tailgating with Hawkeye fans in Iowa City as just some of the highlights of their journey thus far.

And what do their families think of the Quest? Botta doesn’t hesitate. “My wife is very, very supportive. She thinks I’m crazy, but she’s supportive,” he says. “She’s probably right,” Singer chimes in.

Signups for the 2012 Bellefonte Teener League season will be held at the Bellefonte Teener League field from 6:00PM to 7:30PM on both Wednesday September 7, 2011 and Thursday September 8, 2011.

Tryouts for new players will be held at the Governors Park baseball field. There will be two sessions. The first session is Saturday September 10, 2011 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon. The second is Sunday September 11, 2011 from 12:00 Noon to 2:00 PM. We prefer players to attend both sessions of tryouts. If a player cannot attend either tryout session, the league must be notified when the player signs up.

NITTANY CC – Scott Frey fired a 67 to win the Individual Pro tournament as part of the 2011 Nittany Pro-Am Tournament held on August 17th. The 5-under round shot by Frey was two strokes better than second place Andy Fisher (69).

Jack Brennan shot a 2-under 70 to take third place.

The final three spots were tight with Pat Terpak’s level par round good enough to take fourth place while Josh Herb (73) was one stroke better than Rick Grubb (74) to edge him out for fifth place.

Scott Frey serves as the PGA Professional at the Nittany County Club course. Congratulations, Scott!

Herb Leads Team to Win at Nittany Team Pro-Am

By Les Barnhart

NITTANY CC – Josh Herb exacted some revenge in the 2011 Nittany Pro-Am when he guided his foursome including Charlie Doland and Matt and Joel Gumm to an eight stroke win over Scott Frey’s team. Herb finished six strokes back of Frey in the individual pro tournament. As a team they finished with a 159.

Frey’s foursome consisted of Greg Kight, Bill Sieg, Jr and Nate Frey. They shot a 167 on the day. They held a three stroke advantage over the third place team of Andy Fisher, Gary Doland, Jim Berkey and Chuck Colyer. Fisher had finished two back of Frey in second place in the individual pro tournament.

In fourth place with a 173 was the team captained by Jack Brennan, who finished third in the individual pro tournament (three back of Frey). On Brennan’s team was Jim Smith, John Cattoni and Dave Pfaff.

Finishing tied for fifth with a 175 were the teams of Rich Grubb and Dayne Young. Grubb’s team consisted of Jessie Reichert, Tom Crater and Marlin Bowersox. Young’s team was comprised of Bud and Tom McCartney as well as Darryl Early.

Skill prizes were awarded for closest to pin on four holes.

On #4, John Catoni knocked one to 9’ 8 ½” from the pin.

Tom Crater was closer than that on the 17th when he spun one up to 4’1”. Jack Brennan was closer at the 8th hole when he rolled one up to 3’6” from the pin. None of those were better than Sean Kaczynski’s pin seeker than left him with a kick-in putt of 1’8” on the 13th hole.

AUGUST 26, 2011

Attention

Local Sports Fans, Parents and Athletes!! Just a reminder that with the all the sports going on in the county, it’s especially important that I get the input of all of you as I am bound to miss many of those who are deserving of recognition in their respective sports. No sport should go unnoticed or worse yet, unplayed. You can even submit your own name and deny it to your friends and teammates.

Please feel free to contact me at my email address: sports@centrecountygazette. com regarding your sports story as well as a phone number where you can be reached if needed. You can also post your ideas for a story or a recap of your game on the Centre County Sports page on Facebook.

In order to make the Centre County Gazette the paper of the people, I need you, the people to provide the best sports coverage around.

Good luck to all you in your respective sports. Hopefully I will run into you at a sporting event sometime and it will be you I will be covering.

— Les Barnhart, Sports Editor
