Editor’s Prologue

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

Happy Birthday to You!

It’s been two years since we expanded to become The Centre County Gazette; and we couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you – readers, contributors, and advertisers. The Centre County Gazette isn’t about us. It’s about you. Our goal is to provide you with local news that helps you to help your neighbors. Our mission is to honor the good, present useful information, and accentuate the positive.

In that spirit, in the past year, we have What’s Happening and Group Meetings to be your number-one source for finding things to do, places to go, people to help, and groups to join.

The Gazette features new resources through regular columns about pet care, gardening, public speaking, local history, recycling, the arts, and the outdoors. We’ve featured good neighbors in Hometown Heroes, added Save The Date theatre and arts calendar, and had fun creating The Gazette Word Search. Please suggest topics of interest for us to explore in the future. We’re working on a series about local resources for tracing your family tree.

This issue contains a shining example of how The Gazette can serve the community. Last November, we received a request for donations from the County Veterans’ Affairs office so they could purchase a van to transport disabled veterans to medical appointments. We highlighted the request as part of our November 5, 2010 Salute to Veterans issue. Just six weeks later, we received a note from Holly Serface at the VA office that said:

“Believe it or not, thanks to you and everyone else who promoted the van, we have reached the $20,000 mark and the van is paid for. I would like to thank all the veteran service organizations, auxiliaries, clubs, businesses and private donations from everyone in our community to make our van a reality…Sandie, thank you for all your help and advertising for me.”

In this issue, we invite you to the dedication of the new American-made, 12-passenger van that will serve Disabled American Veterans of Centre County. The dedication is Sunday, September 11.

That’s what The Gazette is all about – rallying neighbors, fulfilling needs, making connections, and giving credit where credit is due. We often print articles with the header: How You Can Help. Take a look. Sometimes it’s as simple as “buying local,” donating pet food, or spreading the word. For example, in this issue, all you have to do is get on the Internet and vote daily to help the Bellefonte YMCA get the grant needed to repair their children’s pool.

That’s it. Vote online – and make a difference.

I am honored to have served you for one year as managing editor. I like hearing from you and encourage your suggestions. This is your community newspaper.

In the next issue, we will spotlight 11 exceptional women of Centre County – ladies who give of themselves to make a difference in their communities. (In October, we’ll feature 11 men, so please make your nominations now!)

Rather than toot our own horn with a second anniversary issue, we have chosen to feature Patriots Day as the centerpiece. You’ll find ways to commemorate, contribute, and contemplate the 10th anniversary of the day that tested America’s spirit – and found it strong. Please fly your flag at half staff on Sunday and take a moment to reflect. We will never forget.

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.

Letter to the Editor Be the light at the end of the tunnel

It has been brought to my attention by a very close source, that the working atmosphere at the local State Penal Institution has grown negative by leaps and bounds. Particularly, in the medical department. A turnover rate of nearly 100 nurses over a ten-year period seems a bit excessive. But, who am I?

I am the loving spouse of a woman who, at one time, loved her job. Loved getting up in the early morning hours, bounding out of bed. But, for far too long now, the bounding has changed to a slow, gradual climb from the bed to the shower, with lots of grump in between. I have watched the life be sucked out of this lovely woman who has a heart bigger than the state of Texas.

Now, I know a prison is not usually a place of rewarding experiences. But, a job does not have to be work, per se. The definition of job is a “paid position of regular employment.” Hmm, not so scary or difficult to fathom.

Some jobs can be more rewarding than others, true. But, rewards can come from “the inside” of a person who finds themselves in a less-than-rewarding job. The reward is the self-respect and self-worth one attains from that paid position of regular employment.

Going to work in a prison day after day can be a task. To walk through the gate or solid steel door to your paid position of regular employ and hear it SLAM behind you can bring on butterflies in the stomach or lump in the throat some days. For some, every day.

You are walking into a small city – a city with a very high crime rate in every neighborhood. You walk among, converse with, and spend your next eight to 16 hours with murderers, rapists, child molesters, drug dealers, thieves, you name it.

One who works in such a place has to be a unique individual.

Attributes these exceptional individuals possess are varied – impossible to describe here.

The personal approach is the key to this job. A positive attitude does wonders. You must walk into this institution with the thought, “I want to make a difference today.” If you want to survive in this job, a positive attitude is not only required, but a must.

In a prison setting, “survive” also has a much deeper meaning.

“Survive” to a corrections employee, means no failed marriage, no yelling at your kids because an inmate got the best of you mentally.

“Survive” means you didn’t get beaten or stabbed to death on the range, or in the yard, or inmate dining hall. “Survive” means you walk out of the gate at the end of the day, unscathed.

That being said, the “survival rate” of marriages for corrections employees is very low. The lifespan of a corrections employee is lower than the average person. Stress contributes to shorter lifespan.

Physical, mental, and emotional health are greatly affected.

I think you see my point. To have a prison be your, “paid position of regular employment” is not only a stress-filled position, but on any day, at any time, a deadly one.

With all the negative aspects of this job, the workplace is the last place that should be filled with negative, down-trodden supervisors. The people who work under you are your bread and butter.

The people who work under your supervision are looking for you to lead by example. Be a positive example of how to handle the difficult tasks that lie ahead on a daily basis and do it in a manner that, in more ways than one, MAKES A DIFFERENCE – not only in your the lives of your employees, but the lives of those who are incarcerated.

The nurse, P.A., or doctor may be that one person who makes the difference in an inmate’s life. Their actions and attitude can be the key to an inmate turning a corner in his life. So, why not strive to be a positive influence in the workplace that already has its work cut out for it? Your positive actions and attitude can make all of your staff a better work force on the job, and off.

So, I ask the administration of SCI Rockview to look at the big picture. Why are so many potential “difference-makers” throwing in the towel so quickly in the medical department?

Where is the source of increased negativity among current medical staff? I ask the Superintendent of SCI Rockview look into this matter, and with your decisions perhaps you can make a difference in the lives of your employees, as well as the inmate population, in the long run.

Thank you, Brian Baney

Corrections to 9/2 issue

In an article about the Grange Fair in the September 2 issue, the photo of Mr. John Krebs and his gift of an original hitching post to the Grange Fair Museum was taken by Jaime Brown, not Karen Dabney.

In the article about Pets Come First in the September 2 issue, the article stated that Troy Kleinfelter was hired in 2008. In fact, Troy has been working at the shelter for more than 15 years. Also, the correct phone number for Pets Come First is (814) 359-7150.

We regret any misdirection these errors may have caused.

Two New Eagle Scouts Honored

By Robert Kidders

STATE COLLEGE – An Eagle Scout Awards Ceremony for Zachary T. Stewart and Stephen J. Zimmerer, members of State College Boy Scout Troop 31, recently took place at St Paul’s United Methodist Church in State College.

Zachary, son of Colonel David and Mrs. Jacqueline Stewart, has held multiple positions of responsibility, to include Patrol Leader, Quartermaster, and Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. Zach has earned 26 merit badges, recorded more than 60 days and nights of camping, and provided more than 300 service hours to the community.

For his Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project, Zach worked with Nittany Greyhounds, a dog-rescue organization that has placed more than 1,200 dogs in adoptive homes since it began operation in 1997. Zach helped design and led the construction of a new dog shelter at the Roo Valley Rescue Shelter.

Stephen, son of Dr. Karl Zimmerer and Ms. Medora D. Ebersole, also has served in various positions of responsibility within the Scouts, to include Assistant Patrol Leader, Troop Guise, Troop Instructor, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, and Senior Patrol Leader. During his tenure as a Scout, Stephen has earned 21 merit badges, recorded 53 days and nights of camping, and provided many service hours to our community.

Stephen planned and supervised construction of a pedestrian access trail from Oak Ridge Avenue to Thompson Woods Preserve and the Walnut Spring Lane. The project included trail design, clearing, construction, installation of 56 shrubs along the new trail, and trail mulch.

Presenters at the ceremony included Representative Glenn Thompson, State Representative Scott Conklin, State Representative Kerry Benninghoff, County Commissioner Jon Eich, Marine Corps Representative Dallas Lykens, and State College Elks representative Dr. David Maneval.

Motorists: Be Patient, Obey School Bus Stopping Law Contributed by PennDOT

School buses have returned to Pennsylvania roadways, prompting a reminder from PennDOT for motorists to watch out for buses and students headed to and from school.

“With students distracted by the start of a new school year, it is all too easy for them to make a mistake and dart into traffic,” said PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch, P.E. “So that everyone can make it safely to their destination, motorists are reminded to pay attention to students as they board and exit buses, and to obey traffic laws regarding school buses and school zones.”

Motorists convicted of violating Pennsylvania’s school bus stopping law face a $250 fine, five points on their driving record and a 60-day license suspension.

Under state law, motorists approaching a school bus with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended must stop at least 10 feet from the bus. Motorists approaching from all directions are required to stop. However, drivers who encounter a school bus stopping on the opposite side of a divided highway are not required to stop. Lanes of a divided highway are clearly separated by a divider, such as

concrete barriers or grass medians.

Motorists must also use caution in school zones. Schools are hubs of pedestrian and vehicle traffic, so motorists are required to slow down to the posted speed limit of 15 miles per hour in school zones.

Violations carry a fine and three points on the driver’s record.

For more tips, visit the School Bus Safety link under the Traffic Safety Information Center on PennDOT’s highway safety website at www.DriveSafePA.org.

The Web site also features an animated illustration of the school bus stopping law.

Penns Valley Area Students Go Back to School Positive Behavior & Anti-Bullying Programs Implemented Article & photos by Sam Stitzer CENTRE HALL – It’s back to school time in Penns Valley. The first day of school was on Tuesday, September 6, and the district’s schools welcomed back its returning students, and a brand new class of Kindergarten students going to school for the very first time in their lives.

At about 7:45 a.m. on the corner of James Avenue and Manor Road in Centre Hall, five-year-old Micah Weaver awaited the school bus’s arrival, along with his older sister, Melina, and their parents. This was Micah’s first day of Kindergarten, and he was glad to have his big sister along. Another first-timer at the bus stop was Lauren McMurtrie. Lauren’s parents, Billie Jo and Fred McMurtrie, walked with her across their back yard to the bus stop. The McMurtries felt confident that Lauren will have a good experience this year, since her teacher is Mrs. Fleagle, who was Fred McMurtrie’s Kindergarten teacher back in 1984.

The veteran student at the bus stop was Brianna “Breezy” Knaub, who is entering fourth grade at the Centre Hall-Potter Elementary School. She was a little sad that this will be her final year in that school.

Soon, the bus arrived with amber lights flashing, and the kids lined up and boarded the bus. The Kindergartener’s parents waved goodbye to their youngsters, with that smiling, but almost crying look in their eyes. A short time later, the busses pulled alongside the curb at the school. Kids from Kindergarten through fourth grade poured out of the busses, and ran into the school building, dodging raindrops as they went. They were smiling and laughing, happy to see old friends, and eager to make new ones. It was a scene that was repeated all over Penns Valley.

Carolyn Payne, Principal of Centre Hall-Potter and Miles Township Elementary Schools, reports that those schools are initiating two programs aimed at promoting good behavior to enhance the students’ school experience. One is called Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support.

“This program has specific behavior expectations in different areas of the school: rules for everywhere, hallways, cafeteria, bathrooms, playground, bus dismissal, bus riding as well as performances/field trips. The teachers are going over all the rules and are modeling the appropriate behaviors. These rules will be reviewed over and over. For each area the

students need to be Responsible, Be Respectful and Be Ready”, said Ms. Payne.

The second initiative is the Olweus anti-Bullying program.

Teachers are trained in both of the new initiatives. Training occurred with teams from both buildings in each initiative, and then the rest of the teachers and para-educators received the Olweus Anti-bullying program training during August inservice days. The four rules of Olweus anti-bullying are: we will not bully others; we will Micah Weaver waits for the bus help those who are being with his older sister, Melina, on bullied; we will always try to Micah’s first day of Kindergarten.

Melina is in first grade. include others; if we know that someone is being bullied, we will tell an adult at school or at home. These rules will also be posted in the schools.

The Penns Valley Elementary and Intermediate School is also implementing the Olweus Anti-Bullying program this school year. Principal Kurt Nyquist stated that all PVEI faculty and staff (grades K-6) have been trained in the program. We hope all the Boys arrive at the school and students in the Penns Valley hurry inside area have a great school year.

Centre County PAWS to Host 6th Annual Fur Ball

Practical Pet

the

By Kristina Pydynowski, PAWS Volunteer STATE COLLEGE – Not only is the start of October just around the corner, but also the Centre County PAWS’ 6th Annual Fur Ball that promises to provide wonderful entertainment and dining for couples or friends.

The Fur Ball will be held Saturday, October 1 at the Centre Hills Country Club in State College with cocktails starting at 6:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 7:30 p.m.

Dress is black tie optional with beef, fish, and vegetarian dinner entrees being served.

A country band will provide the perfect setting for dancing after dinner. In addition, silent and live auctions will be held with Fred Metzger of Metzger Animal Hospital acting as one of our auctioneers. Guests can bid on many great items, including a trip to Key West, a trip to Ecuador, a Sharon Teaman cuff, and an autographed Jerome Bettis jersey.

One of the main goals of the Fur Ball is to create an individually named PAWS Endowment Fund that will provide financial support and operational expenses for PAWS.

This year, the fund is being named after Princess, the Centre County Courthouse Canine. Princess has been working with the District Attorney’s office since late December 2009, helping children feel more at ease if they have to testify in court. Too often, these

How You Can Help Donate Cat Food to Food Bank

The food bank at FaithCentre in Bellefonte isn’t just for people. They also have a Pet Food Bank. According to reader, Judy Smith of Bellefonte, the Pet Food Bank seems to have plenty of dog food, but is woefully short

PAGE 5

on cat and kitten food. Judy said, “They need cat supplies, and other contributions for other small animals and birds.” Perhaps you can help! Remember the pets the next time you make a food bank donation.

When dogs turn up with a chronic disease, I often hear that people automatically think that the dog will soon die, or that they will be saddled with huge medical bills and a life of medical emergencies until the dog finally dies of whatever the disease might be. With the wonderful advances in veterinary care, now more than ever, managing chronic disease is definitely a workable situation.

Diabetes in dogs is one of those diseases that is no longer a death sentence.

The onset of diabetes in dogs generally takes place after age five, with the highest incidence in the eight-to-12-year range. And contrary to popular belief, obesity does not generally contribute to the onset of canine diabetes. The exception is in intact females, who are at increased risk of developing an estrogen-associated version of the disease.

Undisputed contributing factors to diabetes include pancreatitis – estimated to be present in about 30 percent of dogs diagnosed with the disease, as well as other endocrine imbalances such as Cushing’s syndrome.

In many cases, though, it’s hard to determine which disease came first.

The most prominent early signs of canine diabetes are an increase in drinking and urination, and an increase in appetite often accompanied by weight loss. If the disease is left untreated, dogs are likely to show weakness, lethargy, loss of appetite and vomiting. One reason that diabetes often goes unnoticed at first is because the dog may still seem happy and frisky. The drinking and urinating excessively will occur for some time before the dog starts to feel poorly.

After diagnosis, leveling blood glucose can be complicated, involving finding the correct type and dose of insulin; determining the proper diet, and establishing regular exercise routines. At minimum, you can expect your dog to spend several days under a vet’s care getting blood tests conducted over 12 or 24 hours that measure the amounts of glucose in the blood and chart the times when it peaks and dips. The results will help in determining

if the insulin is providing long-lasting control rather than short-term relief.

Canine diabetes often mimics human diabetes type 1. This means that you can expect to give your dog insulin shots for the rest of its life – perhaps the most daunting aspect of the disease. Along with the shots, you will need to provide consistent meals – both in terms of ingredients and calories – at the same time each day. To avoid hypoglycemia (a dangerous dip in blood sugar caused by excessive insulin), it’s best to administer shots during meal times.

Exercise is also essential for lowering blood sugar. It’s recommended that diabetic dogs get consistent amounts, and at the same time each day.

Vigilance is the order of the day when caring for a diabetic dog, even after the correct combination of medicine, food, and exercise is established. Hypoglycemia is the greatest worry; if unnoticed, the rapid drop in blood sugar can cause coma, brain damage, or death.

Owners of diabetic dogs will usually have some honey on hand in case they spot the symptoms – wooziness or lethargy, away from home.

Another side effect of canine diabetes is cataracts. They can come on quickly if diabetes is not diagnosed early. Cataracts are easily taken care of with simple surgery and they don’t typically return.

Glucose levels can be monitored in dogs the same way as in humans – using a blood meter or urine test strips. In the end, notwithstanding the shots, regulating diabetes comes down to paying careful attention to your dog’s behavior, watching his diet and providing regular exercise – something we should be doing anyway.

It is rare to find a good crime novel written with great style and intelligence. There have been some, but as I said they are rare. Rosamund Lupton’s Sister: a Novel is an example of how it should be done.

Bee is living in New York when her mother calls to tell her that Tess is missing. Bee arrives in London expecting to scold her younger sister about the importance of telling someone her plans before taking off.

Tess has always been the free spirit of the two, and the more practical Bee feels that she knows and understands her sister extremely well. Thinking that there are no secrets between them, Bee learns that among other things, Tess has hidden the fact that she was pregnant to one of her married professors.

When the police find Tess’s body in an abandoned public restroom and dismiss it as a suicide, Bee knows that they are wrong. This starts her quest to see who would want to kill Tess and why.

The plot has many unexpected turns

and brilliantly leads the reader from suspect to suspect. In the process the reader is treated to side characters with great depth, a study of the relationships that are formed – especially between sisters, and a moral issue that may hit each of us.

I enjoy reading “who-done-its� and love to figure out what is happening along the way. I was often way off base with this one.

This book is so much more than a typical murder mystery. I felt that two things made it stand ahead of the pack:

1. The characterizations are developed

by Lupton extremely well. Not only do we see growth in the main characters, but people that we meet along the way become real.

2. Lupton’s use of the English language is beautiful. She can turn a phase without it ever sounding artificial. This alone would have made me a fan.

Sister: a Novel is a first novel and I eagerly await what Rosamund Lupton writes next.

Group Tours Local Stream Restoration Site

On Monday, August 29, U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson joined representatives from conservation agencies for a site tour of the Sinking Creek Habitat Restoration Project on Bill and Carol Sharpe’s property on Egg Hill Road near Spring Mills.

A log mud sill protects the bank.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2011

Letter to the Editor

by the landowners and overseen and designed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program which included staff from the Foundation for California University of Pennsylvania. A Habitat Forever crew and personnel from Juniata College provided much of the labor with a local contactor setting rock vanes and grading the stream bank. Technical assistance was also provided

by Penn State’s Center for Watershed Stewardship.

The stream was restored by installing nearly 700 feet of mudsill, five rock vanes, two rock cross-vanes and four log vanes. The newly installed structures protect the stream banks, slow erosion, narrow the stream, and provide excellent overhead cover for fish and pockets of deep water for trout.

After the tour the group enjoyed a picnic lunch coordinated by Pheasants Forever and hosted by the Pennsylvania chapter and landowners Bill and Carol Sharpe.

Representatives were on hand from the USFWS, the Pa Game Commission, Pheasants Forever, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, Wildlife for Everyone Endowment Foundation, the PSU Center for Watershed Stewardship, and the Centre County Conservation District.

The in stream and riparian restoration project was completed in cooperation with NRCS’s Chesapeake Bay Watershed Initiative and a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant administered by the Centre County Conservation District and the Wildlife For Everyone Endowment Foundation.

The project was initiated A rock vane directs the water to the center of the stream.

Teaching: A Student’s Point of View

One of the many problems facing students today is the abundance of mediocre teachers. The saddest part is that many of them do, in fact possess the capacity to be good teachers. However, they are either lazy and do not perform their jobs properly or they have developed a warped style of teaching over the years that does not work. Every so often, we receive some insight; some tiny sign that they really can teach, despite what we see in our daily lessons. These teachers do have the power to change: to transform themselves into true educators. The source of this change, however, lies within their students.

Let’s face it: the majority of high school students are relatively pleased whenever they receive a teacher whom generations have glorified as being lazy and teaching an easy class.

Many of us take this unique period of our lives for granted; counting down the days until it is over, focusing on the “more important� things in our lives. The only problem here is that those things are not “more important.� At this stage of our lives, the most important thing is our education. If we go through school with teachers who make their assignments so easy that it is almost impossible to receive a grade lower than an A, we do not truly learn. Moreover, if we do not learn, all of the time we spend in school is pointless. Easy classes are nice, but they will come back to hurt later when required knowledge is not present because time that should have been spent learning was wasted.

In addition to those lazy teachers are the teachers who seem to exist only to make our lives miserable. They do not teach, but they present their students with assignments that are impossible to do without adequate knowledge in the subject matter. Each day, their students leave their class in utter confusion because the teacher plowed through a complicated subject

without checking for understanding. It is the job of a teacher to teach. When a student leaves a class, he should have a greater knowledge of that specific subject. If a student has a question, the teacher should be willing to answer and to explain something as many times as necessary.

However, any good teacher should not need to explain over and over again; a mere repetition from an excellent teacher usually brings understanding. In the words of William Arthur Ward, “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.� An observant student can easily tell the difference.

When the obvious goal of a teacher is to inspire his students and he succeeds in doing so, the students will remember him forever as an amazing teacher who changed their lives for the better. The opposite is also true. When the goal of a teacher seems to be to make his students cry, the students will also remember him forever. Only, in this situation, he will be remembered with dislike and hatred, having made a negative impact on their lives. Nevertheless, any teacher who deeply affects his students will be remembered. The light of such memory, however, depends on the teacher alone.

One thing, however, which does not rely on the teacher alone, is change. A bad teacher will never change unless the students use their voice. For the most part, we are content to complain amongst ourselves and to be glad when it is over. We are content to suffer because it is easier to suffer than to try to bring about change. Unless we act, these teachers continue to be mediocre as years of students suffer from their teaching. Our lack of action not only impairs ourselves, it impairs all of the students succeeding us.

Sincerely, Austin Reading Senior, Bellefonte Area High School

Coburn Crickfest – Conservation and Fun SCAHS Announces 2011 Distinguished Alumnus/Alumna Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

The Penns Valley Conservation Association (PVCA) hosted the ninth annual Crickfest in Coburn Park on Sunday, September 4.

The name, derived from “crick”, a slang term for creek, is appropriate, since Elk Creek and Pine Creek both flow into Penns Creek at Coburn. This event is a celebration of conservation of the environment and watershed, and is a pleasant gathering of citizens of Penns Valley and the surrounding area. The event is growing larger each year.

Crickfest features live music, prepared local foods, and fun and educational activities for the whole family. Several non-profit, conservation-oriented groups had booths set up to inform the public of their goals and activities. Profits from Crickfest help to finance the PVCA’s environmental education program in the Penns Valley Area School District, and other projects. The rural setting of Coburn provided a great display of the natural environment and emphasized the need to preserve it.

PVCA member, Mary Carol Frier, noted that the rubber duck races were a very popular event at Crickfest. Entrants in this event purchased numbered rubber ducks, which were released en masse in a swift flowing section of Penns Creek. Prizes were awarded to the first seven ducks to cross the finish line, about 60 yards downstream. Several heats were run throughout the afternoon, to the delight of the crowd of spectators lined up along the banks of Penns Creek.

The Wader Games was a new event at Crickfest. In these contests, the entrants were clad in hip waders, and competed in a threelegged race. The competitors showed some excellent dexterity in spite of their clumsy “rubber legs!” Winners Greta Haney and Joel Bruening received a two-person polo shirt for a prize.

Following the races, the wader dance contest took place on the grassy field. You

haven’t lived until you’ve seen the Blue Danube Waltz performed by folks wearing hip waders! A tango was next, then Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean finished out the dance trilogy. Brothers Sam and Andy Porter won the dance event, laughing with the crowd all the way!

PVCA board member, George Kelly, explained some of the organization’s watershed activities, especially stream bank fencing, which is done to restrain nearby cattle, and to prevent breakdown and erosion of the stream banks. Once fencing is in place, vegetation and trees are planted, which also help to prevent erosion, and provide nesting cover for songbirds, ducks, pheasants, etc.

The PVCA plans to hold a Renewable Energy and Conservation Fair at the Penns Valley High School on October 22, from noon to 4 p.m. This free event will feature tours of the school district’s new biomass boiler heating plant, and Greg Williams’ 10-kilowatt photovoltaic array in Penn Hall, among others. For more information on the PVCA, visit http:// www.pennsvalley.net/cms/.

The State College Area High School Alumni Association announced this year’s three Distinguished Alumni: #1 – 2011 SCAHSAA Distinguished Alumnus Donald W. Davis – Class of 1939 (Posthumous Designation)

A 1939 State High graduate, he was the son of the late Walter and Laura Davis and brother of Maralyn Davis Mazza of State College.

Davis spent 21 years as president and chief executive of The Stanley Works, transforming it from a tradition-bound tool manufacturer into an international pioneer in do-it-yourself hardware. Under his leadership the company’s work force doubled to nearly 20,000, and its revenue grew from $230 million in 1966 to $1.9 billion in 1989.

Davis served as president of several national trade associations and was a board member of many commercial and charitable endeavors. He endowed several Penn State scholarships and funds, including the Donald W. Davis Symposium in Advertising Ethics and the Don Davis Professorship in Ethics. For 20 years, he taught “Leadership, ethics, and public policy” at Leaders for Manufacturing in MIT’s dual-master’s degree program.

Davis passed away on September 11, 2010, in Chilmark MA. #2 – 2011 SCAHSAA Distinguished Alumna Jean Reist Stark – Class of 1949

A 1949 State High graduate, she is the daughter of the late H. N. and Josephine Reist of State College.

She is a nationally recognized artist who has mastered three ancient and complex jewelry styles: granulation, cloisonné enameling, and loop-in-loop chainmaking.

After attending Penn State, she studied contemporary jewelry at Fashion Institute of Technology (NY), pliqué-a-jour enameling at Arrowmont School of Arts and Craft (TN),

and chasing and repoussé at Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts (CA). She also had private lessons with German master goldsmith Hans Hoerstebrock.

In 1972, she co-founded Kulicke-Stark School of Jewelry Art (NY), the first American school to teach the skills of classical jewelry design, serving there as an instructor as well as at Parsons, The New School of Design (NY), Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts (CA), and Wild Acres Retreat (NC).

She has co-authored and illustrated Classical Loop-in-Loop Chains and their Derivatives. Nicknamed “the guru of granulation”

by Lapidary Journal, she was also recognized

by Ornament magazine as being a “brilliant practitioner of a trio of extraordinary processes.”

Jean Reist Stark currently lives with her husband in Hilton Head NC. #3 – 2011 SCAHSAA Distinguished Alumnus Douglas P. Sweetland – Class of 1992 A 1992 State High graduate, he is the son of David Sweetland and Diane Sweetland, both of State College.

After graduating from State High in 1992, he attended California Institute of the Arts before taking a temporary job in film animation with Pixar. That temporary stint animating on Toy Story started his career, as he later animated on A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Finding Nemo, Boundin’, The Incredibles, and Cars.

He’s served as a directing animator on Monsters, Inc., a supervising animator on Cars and Boundin’, and a storyboard artist on The Incredibles.

In 2008, he made his directorial debut with Presto, the short film that opened for the Pixar feature, WALL•E. Presto was nominated for a 2009 Academy Award.

In 2010, Sweetland left Pixar, his home of 16 years, for the opportunity to direct the feature film adaptation of The Familiars at Sony Pictures Animation.

Sweetland currently resides in Los Angeles CA with his wife and two children.

Social Media Workshop for Non Profits Contributed by Schlow Centre Region Library STATE COLLEGE – The sea of social media can be difficult to navigate, especially for nonprofit administrators with limited resources.

That’s where the Community Information Technology Workshop comes in – this year from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, September 16, at Schlow Centre Region Library. It will feature seminars about how, and why, nonprofit organizations should use social media.

The workshop will include insight from keynote speakers Barb Horne and Robin Smain, as well as a series of hands-on seminars about how to use specific social media tools, including Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Foursquare, MailChimp, and more.

This workshop is not designed for techies. According to Nathaniel Rasmussen, Computer Systems Administrator at Schlow Centre Region Library, and a workshop organizer, it’s designed to help everyone learn – including the technologically challenged.

This is the fifty year for the workshop, sponsored by the Centre County Community Foundation and Schlow Centre Region Library.

It will be held in meeting rooms throughout the library – with major sessions and registration centered in the 1st Floor Downsbrough Community Room and the Betsy Allen Gallery.

Harold Robinson, a graduate student from the College of IST at Penn State and a workshop organizer, hopes attendees come away from the experience with an understanding of how they can use social media to better meet the goals of their non-profit.

“The best outcome from the workshop is that individuals feel empowered to take a hands-on approach to new technology tools as part of carrying out their organization’s mission,” he said.

For more information and to sign up, visit learn.centreconnect.org. The fee is just $7 until Sept. 12; after that it will be $12 at the door.

Your Own Speech Cookie© (No Calories!)

Have you ever been in a situation where someone asks you a question and you have no idea how to respond? Impromptu speaking can be very difficult for many people. Whether it is a job interview, a project update, or just in a conversation, the ability to respond quickly can be very valuable. In reality, most of the questions we answer in our lives do not have rehearsed answers, but we can give a BETTER response if we are more prepared.

Prepared for impromptu speaking? Yes, with a Speech Cookie© – and, NO calories!

The OREO is made up of two cookies with cream in the middle. Keep this in mind as you recall the value of the Speech Cookie.

In many cases we are being asked our OPINION, therefore, the first part of our Speech Cookie OPINION.

Next, the cream to reinforce the OPINION. The “R” in our Speech Cookie is REASON or REASONS to support your opinion.

The second part of the “cream” is EXAMPLE or EXAMPLES to add additional support to your opinion.

Finally, wrap it up by going back to the beginning and stating your OPINION once again. Thus, the Speech Cookie© OREO Method, may look like this: Opinion Reason(s) Example(s) Opinion

Let’s look at an example from a job interview and how the Speech Cookie might help you out of a tough spot. You can’t be prepared for every question you might be asked, but you can be better prepared for any question you might be asked.

Some questions are strange or downright outlandish. It may be asked to gauge your thought process, or how you handle a challenge. Examples, “Why is there fuzz on a tennis ball? Name at least 10 other uses for a pencil?” Yes, these are actual questions taken from lists of potential interview questions.

Using the Speech Cookie OREO method, your answer might sound like this…

Question: If you could be any fruit or vegetable, what would you be and why? (I

personally know at least two people who have been asked this question in an interview.)

Think Speech Cookie…

O – Opinion - I believe that if I could be any fruit or vegetable, I would be a fresh stalk of celery.

R – Reason(s) – A fresh stalk of celery is crisp and a beautiful shade of green with little leaves that resemble funny looking hair on the top. This reminds me that sometimes we have to play life straight and deal with serious situations, but the leafy “hair” reminds me to have fun, don’t take myself too seriously and enjoy life.

E – Example(s) – An example of this attitude is when I am working in a team. We have a goal to achieve or a task to complete which may be serious, but research shows that the more people “play” together with a positive attitude, the level of stress is greatly reduced, which leads to greater production and more cohesiveness in the team.

O – Opinion – That’s why I would choose a fresh stalk of celery.

Obviously, there are other options, but you can see how it can work within the framework of the Speech Cookie OREO Method.

An impromptu question can be asked in many situations. Some situations are simply casual conversation. Whatever the circumstance, the next time you are asked a question, think of the simple four-step structure for greater success. Hmmmm, anyone else hungry for some cookies and milk?

Grange Fair Review – Part 2 Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

CENTRE HALL – There was no sleeping in during the fair for Chris Hosterman and Allan Darr. They were up early every day, serving up hot coffee on the grandstand stage from 6:30 a.m. to 8 a.m. to gatherings of people interested in their project, the Ram Centre Community Center, which is planned for land behind the Penns Valley High School building. The center will house a basketball court, daycare center, senior center, a medical facility, and all-purpose meeting rooms to serve the needs of the entire Penns Valley area.

The coffee gatherings were held to kick off a $4.5 million fundraising campaign. As of Monday, August 29, they had already secured a whopping $227,000 in pledges, and an additional $500,000 in discounts on services from contractors, etc. Never underestimate the power of hot coffee on a cool August morning!

Building plans were on display as Chris and Allan applied their best sales techniques to the interested parties present. They encouraged everyone in the valley to be involved, and stressed that donations are needed now in order to construct the new center, and have it open by next summer. Enthusiasm is running high in Penns Valley for this great project!

At 11 a.m. on Monday, a Grange Fair tradition unfolded in the grandstand area, as a giant ice cream sundae was prepared for a huge crowd of ice-cream-loving kids and adults.

Senator Jake Corman, and Centre County Commissioners, Chris Exarchos and Steve Dershem, built this monster with assistance from Dairy Princess Tanna Shirk, and Sunset Dairy employees. As they have done for many years, Sunset Dairy donated 45 gallons of vanilla ice cream and six gallons of toppings to make the giant sundae. When the ice cream pyramid was finished, Tanna Shirk slathered on the chocolate syrup and cherries, to the delight of the drooling audience (including me!). Then the gooey mix was served, free of charge, to the waiting audience. The smiles on the kids’ faces were no doubt worth all the effort!

Monday night, the Interstate Series Tractor pulls hit the Grange Fairgrounds track with a roar! These are the high

rollers – the custom-built pulling machines powered by big block V-8 car engines (some with two engines), and one with a 1710 cubic inch Allison V-12 aircraft engine (think P-51 Mustang)! Competitors came from several states, and these guys flew down the track with ear-splitting roars! The capacity crowd loved it!

Tuesday morning was a lot quieter, with the only sound being the clang of horseshoes hitting the pin in the Horseshoe Pitching Contest finals. Contestants from age nine to 89 pitched in five age groups. Organizer Alan Turner said there were 43 people pitching, including four juniors (age 16 and under). One of the juniors was Turner’s grandson, 10-year-old Nick Turner, who was already throwing like a pro! This event harks back to America’s horse-powered agrarian society of long ago. It preserves a piece of history, and is just plain fun for all!

Tuesday evening, near the animal barns, the Race Day Show Booth was set up with a line of sprint cars on display, and a free raffle for children up to age 16. Prizes were numerous toys and 30 brand new bicycles! This event was sponsored by Packer Concessions, headed by Allan Packer of Centre Hall.

Cheers, applause, and squeals of delight rang out as winning ticket numbers were called, and lucky kids took home their prizes. Race car drivers were there for race fans to meet, and to get autographed photos of their favorite sprint car drivers.

Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. on the Southside Stage, the Baby King and Queen Contest got under way. This contest is for three-year-old boys and girls, and probably has the highest “cute factor” of all the fair’s events. Master of Ceremonies, Jerry Valeri, of radio station MAJIC 99, interviewed the little ones with great skill. It’s not always easy to get three-year-olds to talk (or to stop talking)! He asked them about their favorite animals and foods at the fair. Horses and hot dogs seemed to be the overwhelming choices. At the contest’s end, Cheyenne Bookmiller, daughter of Glenna and Jon Bookmiller of Milesburg, was crowned queen, and Owen Houts, son of Dave and Rachel Houts of Centre Hall

was named king. The king and queen rode on a float in the Thursday afternoon parade, waving and smiling at the grandstand crowd, who clapped and cheered for them with great enthusiasm. Congratulations, Cheyenne and Owen!

Thursday, September 1 marked the beginning of a new month, and the end of Grange Fair 2011. At 1 p.m., another longstanding fair tradition unfolded. The float parade stepped off just inside Gate #2, and wound its way around the grounds, finishing at the grandstand, where a large crowd cheered the participants on. The parade featured marching bands, cheerleaders, fair officials, floats by local Grange and 4-H groups, fire trucks, and much more. Announcer Mary Ann Haagen introduced each unit as it went by, and the crowd responded with enthusiastic cheers and applause.

Thursday night at 8 p.m., the band Satisfaction took the grandstand stage as the fair’s final act of the year. This group is a Rolling Stones tribute band, performing all the Stones’ hits of the 1960s, as well as a few numbers saluting Chuck Berry and other early rockers. They took us aging Baby Boomers back to our high school days, as the lead singer came off looking, sounding, and even moving much like Mick Jagger in his glory days of the 1960s. It was a fun time of nostalgia and lots of good old rock & roll!

Well, Grange Fair 2011 is history. It’s time to take the remote control for the video of our lives off “pause,” and push the “play” button once again.

Late Thursday night, the voice of Grange Fair committee member, LeDon Young, was heard on the public address speakers, declaring the fair’s end, and thanking everyone for coming. She concluded her speech, saying “Let me be the first to wish you all a very Merry Christmas,” drawing a collective laugh from all points of the fairgrounds. Whoa, LeDon, I think you just hit the “fast forward” button! You better rewind a little!

As told to Brian Baney at the WWII Fly In

H H H H H H H Contribute to Bears That Care

Inside the terminal, I sat down with WWII Veteran, Billy Stover. Bill hails from Aaronsburg. To leave a quiet, humble town that may resemble any town in Germany or France prior to wartime, to confront the rigors and dangers of a world war, was a feat in itself.

Drafted 13 SEP 43 into the Air Force, Billy Stover began his stint serving his country. But, within six weeks, he was transferred to the Army as an infantryman. The powers-that-be decided they needed more troops in the infantry for the, now historic, Battle of the Bulge.

The Battle of the Bulge started on December 16, 1944. Hitler had convinced himself that the alliance between Britain, France, and America in the western sector of Europe was not strong and that a major attack and defeat would break up the alliance. Therefore, he ordered a massive attack against what were primar- Billy Stover, 89 (as of October), of Aaronsburg, displays a ily American forces. American forces were photo of himself in Germany 1943. surprised by the attack, but by the second day, the Germans had already lost ground and were losing.

Hitler’s strategy featured mainly armored vehicles and those heavy tools of death needed fuel, and lots of it – which, Germany just didn’t have. So, in the end, German soldiers ended up trapped and left to their own devices. The attack is formally called the Ardennes Offensive but because the initial attack by the Germans created a bulge in the Allied front line, it has become more commonly known as the Battle of the Bulge.

Thinking he would be flying in planes, Billy Stover now found himself right in the thick of things. Boots on the ground, rifle in hand, and following orders, Billy and his platoon scoured towns and hillsides for the enemy.

Billy found himself mostly on point, which meant he led his platoon as they searched every home, barn, and outbuilding for German soldiers. Some would surrender – helmet and weapons on the ground, hands on their heads. Sometimes, Billy and his fellow troops would be approached by German soldiers claiming they were surrendering.

But, they would not drop their weapons or helmet to the ground.

When these German soldiers were given orders to do so, they refused and had to be shot. One such episode Billy spoke of was when a single German soldier was surrendering, but not dropping his weapons. The German ended up being shot in the foot. The soldier had to be marched back to camp, so the radio man of the platoon, beleaguered by the heavy communication equipment strapped the radio on the German’s back.

Billy spoke of peering through home and storefront windows in France, in search of German soldiers. The French people were so thankful and gracious to the Americans; the troops were given food and drink. But, there were German sympathizers and any building you entered could be your last. You just never knew for sure.

For his service, Billy Stover received the Combat Infantry Badge and the Bronze Star for his combat duties. Billy told me if a man wasn’t scared in the war, there was something wrong with him. Billy said that he was only scared one time – starting the day he stepped off the plane onto enemy territory, ending the day he stepped back onto a plane to come home.

The Flight 93 National Memorial Campaign announced that First National Bank of Pennsylvania contributed $25,000 to support the building of the Flight 93 National Memorial honoring all those lost on September 11, including the 40 heroes on board United Flight 93. Thanks to a two-million-dollar challenge grant from the Board of Directors of the National Park Foundation, the contribution was matched dollar for dollar and resulted in $50,000 for the memorial.

FNB led a fundraising campaign over Memorial Day weekend. Newspapers were delivered in specially designed bags that encouraged people to return the bags to one of the bank’s local offices. For every bag returned, FNB made a donation to the Flight 93 National Memorial Campaign. People from all over Pennsylvania participated, including residents of Centre County.

“We are grateful to First National Bank for helping us to ensure that those lost on September 11, including the 40 heroes of Flight 93, will never be forgotten,â€? said Neil Mulholland, President and CEO of the National Park Foundation, the charitable partner of the Flight 93 National Memorial Campaign.Â

H H H H H H H H H H Military Time Line Presented at Museum United in Prayer 18th thru 21st Centuries on Display A Remembrance by Laurel Sanders* September 11, 2002, exactly one year after 9/11

By Jay Alexander

BOALSBURG – The Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg will host its annual Then & NOW Military History Time Line of Uniforms and Equipment on Saturday and Sunday, September 17 and 18. Re-enactors from the Colonial period to today’s active duty PA National Guard will be encamped on the grounds showcasing the uniforms and equipment of the soldier through 250 years of development.

“With the addition of the Revolutionary War Hessians a couple of years ago, we decided to invite the Austrian Mountain Troops of WWII, known as Gerbirgsjagers, who have supported our Memorial Day Weekend WWII Revisited bivouac. This makes our time line an ‘international affair,’ said museum educator, Joe Horvath. “It’s really a nice end-of-season event that brings together all of our wonderful volunteer reenactors for one last show before the winter.â€? Â

Twenty-first century support will be provided by members of the 112th Infantry Regiment, Pennsylvania National Guard, who plan to attend the two-day event with their “battle rattle� gear and vehicles.

The encampment opens to the public at 10 a.m. each day with a battle dress uniform fashion show and weapons demonstration beginning at 1 p.m. “The fashion show and rifle demo will be presented chronologically beginning with the Colonial period,� Horvath said.

The Pennsylvania Military Museum and 28th Infantry Division Shrine, administered by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, is located on South Atherton Street (Business Route 322) in Boalsburg, three miles east of State College. For more information, call (814) 466-6263 or visit www.pamilmuseum.org.Â

It was noon, September 11, 2002 [in Bremen, Germany.] The bustling sounds of a routine workday in the city were interrupted by the ringing of church bells. Hurried shoppers momentarily slowed their pace. A few stood still. Workers took a moment to pause and reflect. In the schools, teachers called students to pause from their studies, stand behind their desks, and be silent for exactly one minute. Even the occasional passer-by stopped and paused, and then continued on, deep in thought. In a country where the Church has a strong voice in politics but a meager showing in most pews, the momentary emphasis on prayer – both nationally and locally – was unifying and powerful.

One year earlier, people had reacted with shock and sympathy amid news announcements and video footage played on their radios and TV screens. That afternoon had punctuated our lives like a scene of relentless terror in a science fiction film. Now, one year after the tragic event, the genuine outpouring of sorrow, love, and unity continued to be felt all over Europe. It was evident in the media, in churches and synagogues, in our own parish, and among neighbors and friends of all faiths. Those who believed in peace and freedom – among them Germans, Turks, Albanians, French, Croats, Ghanaians, Koreans, British, Austrians, and more - stood united. The pain of America and its people had reached across the Atlantic, and it was shared by many.

Standing still for a moment in remembrance, I prayed fervently that I could forgive the perpetrators who had taken away our collective and individual sense of security and who so clearly continued to harbor deep hate.

I wasn’t sure forgiveness was within me.

Perhaps no matter what kind of an Almighty we envision, arguably the single most important thing we can do is to take time to get to know, and pray for, our neighbors – whoever they are. Regardless of what words we use or how we pray, our prayers shape our thoughts and actions. A year after tragedy struck – and for several years afterward – the ringing of the bells, the ensuing moments of prayer, and the reflective moments of silence reminded people of all faiths that together we are strong, and divided we fall. On that day, one year after 911 changed the world and for many months afterward, people of diverse cultures and faiths chose again to stand together as one people, remembering our similarities and forgetting our differences.

Life on earth has no guarantees, except that it will end. What could be more valuable than prayer to guide the steps that at any given time could very well be our last?

Veterans’ Van Dedication Sunday, September 11

By Sandie Biddle

When Holly Serface first came to The Gazette with a call for donations for a van to transport county veterans to the Altoona VA medical facility, we were pleased to oblige.

We printed her story in the Veterans’ Day issue of The Gazette on November 5.

As director of Centre County Veterans’ Affairs, Holly’s job to raise the $20,000 needed for the county’s portion of the van. She needed to submit these funds to the Disabled American Veterans by February 1, 2011. The DAV would cover the rest of the cost, plus cover gasoline, insurance, and maintenance expenses for the life of the vehicle.

That $20,000 was a large amount of money to the local veterans’ agency, but Holly was sure that people in the community would step up and donate. She was right. I was happy to receive her thank-you note that I printed in the December 17 issue – they had reached the $20,000 mark. Since then the van was ordered and custom built in Kentucky.

The van is here in Bellefonte and will be dedicated Sunday, September 11 at 2 p.m. at the Willowbank Building on Holmes Street, Bellefonte. In addition to Holly, Brian Querry of RSVP will be at the dedication service, as will a representative of the county commissioners.

RSVP is coordinating the volunteer drivers’ schedules and The Community Help Centre is taking the calls from veterans to schedule their transportation.

“The volunteer drivers are trained and licensed by the DAV at the Altoona VA Hospital,� Holly said. “We currently have 10 licensed drivers. If anyone needs an application, they can call me at 355-6812.�

“This was not a one man show,� she said. “So many people helped. It took a community to make this happen. It makes me so proud – as a Centre County resident and veteran – I couldn’t have done it myself.�

Nittany Lions Looking to Reverse the Tide

By Les Barnhart

With all the rain the area has had this past week, a joke about high tides just didn’t seem appropriate but the fact remains that Penn State will entertain the Alabama Crimson Tide this Saturday afternoon with kickoff coming at 3:30pm at Beaver Stadium.

The Tide (1-0) comes in ranked either second or third in the nation, depending on which poll you give credence. Alabama routed Kent State in last weekend in both teams’ openers. The Nittany Lions, ranked 2oth in nation, opened with a win over Indiana State and will be looking to avenge last season’s lopsided loss to the team that many believe will win the SEC again this season.

The Nittany Lions will have their paws full trying to slow down the Tide on defense as they will look to ground their running game led by Trent Richardson. Both teams will face similar situations under center as neither team has determined which of their two starters will ultimately settle in as the starter.

Steelers Head to Lion’s Den in Week 1

By Matt Masullo

To say the Steelers-Ravens rivalry is a heated one is an understatement. It is the best rivalry in the NFL today, hands down. For fans of either team to see that game in Week 1 of the NFL season, which also happens to fall on the ten year anniversary of 9-11, they will get one of the marquee matchups of the season right off the bat.

Dating back to 2001, the Steelers are 14-9 against the Ravens, including a 3-0 postseason record. In the past eight matchups, the Steelers have been in the W column six times. In the past nine meetings, only one game has been decided by more than a touchdown.

This offseason, the teams traded barbs back and forth on Twitter and in the media; Ray Rice question whether Hines Ward would be available for the game after a traffic stop in Georgia, LaMarr Woodley

stating that Joe Flacco would never make it to a Super Bowl as long as he was a Steelers and Casey Hampton recently saying that the Ravens talk too much, and that they need to talk themselves into not liking the Steelers.

The saga continues Sunday September 11, with the winner having bragging rights over their bitter rival. Also, with a win, whoever comes out on top will be in prime position to win the division. Granted, it will only be a week one victory, but let’s be honest, the Browns and Bengals aren’t going to contend in the AFC North.

The game kicks off at 1pm on CBS.

Lions Handle Sycamores to Kick Off 2011

By Matt Masullo

Not even Sycamore legend Larry Bird could have stopped the bleeding on Saturday, as the Penn State Nittany Lions smacked the Indiana State Sycamores to kick of the 125th season of Nittany Lion Football, winning effortlessly, 41-7.

The game got off to a fast start, when Chaz Powell took the game’s opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown, and an early 7-0 lead for the Nittany Lions. With Quarterback Gate 2011 dominating the local headlines as of late, Coach Paterno didn’t allow for either of his two quarterbacks, Rob Bolden and Matt McGloin, to take the game over. Bolden got the nod over McGloin, and looked shaky to say the least. He went 6-12 for 37 yards, while his competition, McGloin went 6-8 for 77 yards. Neither needed to throw the ball to win Saturday, as Silas Redd and the ground game grinded out 48 carries for 245 yards. Redd led all rushers, carrying 12 times for 104 yards and two scores.

Even the Penn State fullbacks got into the action, with Joe Suhey accounting for 29 yards and a score, and Mike Zordich rushing for 15 yards and a score. Uncharacteristically, the fullbacks accounted for 11 of the 48 team rushes. Derek Moye led all receivers with four receptions for 57 yards.

The kicking game was off, with Evan Lewis missing two field goals and a PAT. With Anthony Fera suspended for the start of the season, the kicking game will need to find a kicker ASAP. Freshman Sam Ficken got his kicks in on Saturday after Lewis, a converted receiver failed. Fera could have his suspension lifted in the next week or two, and he would solidify the kicking game upon his return. Regardless of whom the kicker is, kicks inside the 30 yard line need to be converted at the collegiate level a high percentage of the time.

The biggest question after the lopsided victory was who would be the quarterback under center on Saturday September 10 against number two ranked Alabama. Paterno indicated that he would again use a two quarterback system against the Crimson Tide. What the pecking order will be is yet to be seen. Bolden led the team to one score in his six possessions played, while McGloin led three scoring drives during his four possessions.

The Nittany Lions take on the Crimson Tide at 3:30 at Beaver Stadium on September 10, with coverage on ABC.

Vick and the Eagles Head to the Midwest in Week 1

By Matt Masullo

Michael Vick, fresh off of signing his 100 million dollar contract, will head to St. Louis with his Eagles teammates to begin what could be one of the most hyped season openers in team history. Kickoff is set for 1pm on Fox.

Joining Vick and company will be newcomers Nnamdia Asomugha, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Cullen Jenkins, Jason Babin, Steve Smith, Vince Young and Ronnie Brown. Those, in addition to the already talented rosters featuring explosive playmakers DeSean Jackson, LeSean McCoy, Jeremy Maclin and Asante Samuel. Needless to say, the Eagles have a plethora of talent. The

question is, can Andy Reid and company find ways to utilize all of it?

For the Rams, Sam Bradford has established himself as one of the up and comers at the quarterback position in the league.

He leads a Rams offense thin on playmakers. Outside of Bradford, most fans know of Steven Jackson, the Rams do-it-all running back. He totes the rock, catches balls out of the backfield and pass protects as well as any back in the league. Danny Amendola was one of Bradfords favorite targets last year.

Look for the 2nd year quarterback to look his way when he isn’t handing the ball off to Jackson.

Rams Roll Red Raiders

By Gazette Sports Department

The 2011 football season started off with a bang for the Penns Valley Rams. The Rams, featuring a new look spread offense, torched the Red Raiders of Bellefonte 238 yards rushing, knocking off their Centre County rivals 35-10 at Rogers Stadium in Bellefonte.

Quarterback Sam Snyder led the charge for the Rams, rushing for 129 yards and three touchdowns on 11 carries. Austin Auman chipped in with 101 yards and two scores on 11 carries.

Snyder opened up the scoring onslaught for the Rams in the first quarter with a one-yard run, giving the Rams an early 7-0 lead after a successful PAT. Bellefonte would not go quietly though, scoring on its ensuing possession. Jesse Hocker hauled in 25-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Fye to bring the Raiders back. Adam Johnson booted the PAT through the uprights to tie the game up a 7.

In the second quarter, the Rams got touchdown runs from Auman (3 yards) and Snyder (25 yards) to push the score to 21-7 heading into halftime. Snyders score came on a nifty run in which he bowled over a Bellefonte defender at the 10-yard line. After the Snyder touchdown, Auman converted a two point conversion to extend the lead to 14.

In the third quarter, Auman scored from eight yards out to extend the lead even further. Snyder added his third score of the game on a 36-yard run in the fourth quarter, where he eluded several Bellefonte defenders on his way to the end zone, giving the Rams a 35-7 lead. Johnson capped the scoring for Bellefonte in the fourth with a 26-yard field goal.

For Bellefonte, Fye finished his first varsity start going 8-21 for 108 yards and a score. Colin Turner led all Bellefonte rushers with 51 yards, and Doylan Deithrich was the top pass catcher, snagging two balls for 49 yards. Ian Brown led all Rams receivers with two catches for 47 yards and Snyder finished the day 6-13 for 83 yards.

Bellefonte plays host to the Central Dragons on Friday September 9th and Penns Valley plays host to Juniata.

Springfield Township Spoils Home Opener for Eagles

By Les Barnhart

WINGATE- Bald Eagle Area opened their 2011 football season at Alumni Stadium by playing host to the visiting Springfield Township. The Spartans play in District 1 and made the trip from near Philadelphia for what was the opener for both teams. The Spartans used a strong running game and took advantage of early mistakes by the Eagles to prevail 30-14.

The Spartans (1-0) opened the game with a touchdown on their first possession, the first of three touchdowns by Clay Ewell.

The senior running back that ran for more than 1,200 yards last year picked up where he left off as he rumbled for 165 yards on 25 carries.

On their first possession, Bald Eagle Area (0-1) put the ball on the turf on a bad handoff exchange and Springfield Township scooped it up and ran it in from 37 yards out to push the Spartans’ lead to 14-0 before some fans had found their seats.

The Eagles were undaunted despite several missed opportunities in which the Spartan defense stiffened and denied them on several occasions.

Midway through the second quarter, the Eagles offense broke through for their first score of the game when Cole Long connected with Nate Sharkey on an 8-yard touchdown pass coming on a fourth down conversion.

That touchdown would allow the Eagles to cut the

deficit to 14-6 at halftime.

Spri ng f ield To w n s h i p would add a not her touchdown on their first possession of the second half when Ewell tallied his second of three touchdowns to push the lead to 22-6.

Bald Eagle Area jumped back into the fray when Colby Peters blocked and recovered a punt to set up the Eagles’ offense at the Spartan 34. Five plays later Long called his own number on a QB sneak and the Eagles trailed by just a score at 22-14. Springfield Township would put the game away in the fourth quarter when Ewell scored the last of his touchdowns to set the final at 30-14.

The score was not indicative of the actual game as the Eagles hung into against the Spartans but paid for their mistakes including the touchdown coming off the early turnover. The offense lost the turnover battle as they fumbled four times and lost three of them.

Cody Ripka stood out for the Eagles offensive as he had three receptions for 79 yards while rushing for 56 yards on twelve carries.

The schedule doesn’t get any easier this week as Clearfield (1-0) heads into town to face the Eagles. The game is scheduled for a 7pm kickoff on Friday night.

Little Lions Pounded

by State Champs

By Gazette Sports Department

The North Allegheny Tigers were crowned the 2010 PIAA Class AAAA State Champions last season.

En route to that championship, they defeated the State College Little Lions twice.

They got their 2011 title defense off to a great start with a 53-21 victory over the Little Lions last Friday.

The Tigers racked up over 550 total offensive yards in the victory, flexing their muscle early on in the 2011 campaign.

State College appeared to be up to the challenge early in Fridays contest, matching the Tigers opening score (which came by way Mack Leftwhich’s arm –56 yard touchdown pass). Jack Haffner scored from 12 yards out to tie the game up in the first quarter. With the game tied at 7 after the first,

the Little Lions looked to be up to the challenge of the Tigers, but fell apart after in the second quarter.

After three consecutive scores from North Allegheny, Saige Jenco brought back a kickoff 85 yards to put the game within reach for State College.

North Allegheny proved to be too much though, scoring three more times in the third quarter by way of a touchdown run, pass and a punt return. In the fourth quarter, Ryan Goeke scored from 1-yard out to put the last points on the board for the Little Lions.

State College travels to St. Anthony’s in New York on Friday September 9th at 7pm.

Little Lions Travel to NY to Take on St. Anthony’s

By Gazette Sports Department

The Little Lions of State College will stay on the road this week, as they travel Interstate 80 to South Huntingdon New York to take on the St. Anthony’s Friars. The long drive (close to five hours) will give the Little Lions time to prepare themselves to take on the 138th ranked team in the country and the 3rd ranked team in the entire state of New York.

The game will be the Friar’s first game of the season. For State College, they will look to rebound from last week’s 53-21 loss to defending state champ North Allegheny Tigers. Last season, the Friars traveled to Centre County and defeated the Little Lions on the home turf 28-17.

The Friars return 6’3, 230 lb defensive lineman Bryan Rhodes. Last season, he accounted for 10 sacks and 74 total tackles, both of which led his team. He will look to put pressure on Little Lion signal caller Josh Weakland.

Weakland, who threw for 129 yards last week.

The game kicks off at 7pm. Check back next week for the recap of the game.

Red Raiders Hope to Shut Down Central Ground Game

By Gazette Sports Department

After each team dropped their opening games of the season, both the Red Raiders of Bellefonte and the Central Scarlet Dragons hope to put one in the win column this week, as the two clash at Rogers Stadium in Bellefonte at 7pm on September 9th.

Should this year’s game come anywhere close to last year’s contest between the two teams, fans will be in for a treat. Bellefonte’s Matt Watson scored on a long touchdown pass in the waning seconds last year to defeat the Dragons on their home turf.

Both Bellefonte and Central alike had to replace several key players from last year’s rosters. To say that both teams are inexperienced is an understatement. The Scarlet Dragons return only

two starts from last year’s squad, as Bellefonte returned three.

F o r Central, Jarron Knisley is an elusive running back who ran for 118 yards on 17 carries last week versus the Bison of Clearfield. He can score from anywhere on the field, and from either side of the ball. For Bellefonte, keep an eye on sophomore Doylan Deitrich. He led all pass catchers last week with two catches for 49 yards and plays on both sides of the ball.

Check back next week for a recap of the game.

Eagles Entertain Clearfield in Week 2 Action

By Les Barnhart

Bald Eagle Area will look to even their record at 1-1 this Friday night as they welcome a young Clearfield Bison team into Alumni Field. Despite their having a string contingency of sophomores on this year’s team, the Bison went on the road last week and defeated a tough Central team, 27-20.

The Eagles will need to slow down a Boson offense that is led by senior running back Beau Swales. He serves as the team’s cow-bell back while third-year starter Curtis Frye triggers the offense at quarterback.

The game kickoffs at Alumni Stadium in Wingate at 7pm and will be featured as the Game of Week on WBLF 970AM.

Mounties Get Off to Quick Start in Win Against Lions

After having a 2-8 season a year ago, it was key for Philipsburg-Osceola to get off to a good start to their 2011 season. In their season-opening contest against Chestnut Ridge, a team that defeated the Mounties 49-12 last year, P-O made the big plays down the stretch defeating the Lions 41-26 at Memorial Stadium.

The Mountie defense got the tone started early, forcing a three-and out, and after a poor Chestnut Ridge punt, the P-O offense got the ball at the Lions 42-yard line. Three players later, Cody Lee, who amassed for all the yards on the drive, banged into the end zone from two yards out for a 7-0 lead. Philipsburg-Osceola added to their lead a couple minutes later, as after a Chestnut Ridge fumble, quarterback Mike Marcinko found Michael John for a 26-yard touchdown to make it 14-0. Turnovers were the story of the game, as the Mountie defense forced three takeaways, which resulted in twenty P-O points.

Chestnut Ridge would not go away quietly, and midway through the third quarter, the Lions scored a touchdown to tie the game at twenty. The Mounties came right back though, taking the lead for good, as they went on a 78-yard drive, which was keyed by a 45-yard burst by Aaron Mcknight putting the ball deep in Lions territory. A couple of plays later, Marcinko threw his second touchdown pass of the night, this time hitting Parker Watson in the end zone from two yards out to give the Mounties a 27-20 lead.

After a McKnight touchdown to give PhilipsburgOsceola a two-score advantage, Chestnut Ridge put pressure on the Mounties, scoring a touchdown to cut the deficit to eight, 34-26 with 4:35 left to go in the game. The Mounties have struggled trying to finish teams off the last couple of years, but the confidence and maturity of the upperclassman payed off. With Philipsburg-Ocseola trying to run out the clock, Michael John took a handoff and rushed 54-yards for a touchdown that put the game away for good, 41-26.

The Mounties showed great balance offensively in the running game, as Lee (99), McKnight (83), and John (78) all had over 75 yards rushing. Philipsburg-Osceola improves to 1-0 on the season, and will make their first road trip of the season on Friday when they travel to Marion Center. The Stingers are 1-0 on the year, after defeating United 14-2.

P-O Mounties Schedule Correction

With all apologies to our friends in the “Mountie Nation”, a mistake was made in recently released 2011 Football Guide.

Bald Eagle and Bellefonte Tangle in Mountain League Rivalry Soccer Game

Lewistown Kish Slalom–Small But Great Success!

By David Kurtz

A total of 12 paddlers blazed their way through 17 gates for the 2011 version of the Lewistown Kish Slalom. Six paddlers were from Lewistown, which was a first for this race. In previous years we had only one or two paddlers from the local area. For outof-town folks, we had Rich Kulawiec from Baltimore, who raced both K-1 and C-1, and Mark Eschbacher from Philadelphia, who raced open C-1.

Nobody broke 100 seconds in time but Chance Blakeslee of Bellefonte had a better time of 101 seconds for the fastest time of the day. Coach Dave Kurtz of State College had two clean runs but the faster was at the 103-second level. For the second week in a row Kurtz squeaked by Rich Kulawiec by only 1 second! Kulawiec then had a singles canoe run of 133 seconds.

Chance of Bellefonte won the kayak cadet class with a score of 101 seconds. In second place was Kyler Phillips of Bellefonte whose better time was 109 seconds. Kyler had a video camera attached to his forehead so I’ll be interested in seeing how it comes out. In third place was Keegan McChesney of Lewistown in a close 114 seconds.

Newcomer Jaelin Benner of Lewistown took fourth place in a credible 183 seconds.

Jaelin started paddling only 10 days ago.

The winner of the kayak cub cadet class was seven-year old Gabriel Koller of Bellefonte. His score was 149 seconds. In second place was Corey Benner of Lewistown with a 202-second run. Corey also started only 10 days ago. Dakota Fisher of Lewistown had trouble on both his runs, ending up doing a swim on each.

Both the Benner boys showed superior paddling technique for their experience level.

They need only more river running experience to match the paddle technique and they’ll be on the top of the winner’s stand in a short time.

In the woman’s kayak cadet class, Miranda McChesney of Bellefonte was the winner in 214 seconds.

Keegan McChesney also paddled in two additional classes. In singles canoe his better time was 146 seconds. Then he combined with his sister, Olivia, to win the mixed doubles canoe class in 202 seconds.

Finally Mark Eschbacher had a fine run of 136 seconds in an open canoe.

The Mountain League got off to a fast start this week with a rivalry game between Bald Eagle and Bellefonte on the rain-soaked turf in Wingate on Tuesday night. Bellefonte struck quickly in the seventh minute as Tyler Rhodes received a beautiful cross at the eighteen from a corner kick and sent a rocket past an unsuspecting goalkeeper to stake the Red Raiders to an early 1-0 lead.

Fifteen minutes of back and forth culminated with Doug Turner sprinting into open space and beating the Bellefonte keeper for the equalizing goal. One minute later Bald Eagle would take the lead when Daniel Styles struck the ball from thirty yards out beating a shocked Bellefonte defense as the rain stiffened and the spirits of the Red Raiders waned.

The onset of the second half brought heavy bands of rain that chased spectators under “easy ups” but the deluge the Bellefonte defense experienced was the raining down of shots on their goalkeeper as Bald Eagle out shot Bellefonte in the second half 11-3 and 17-6 for the match. Bald Eagle tallied its final goal in the 44th minute as Styles sprinted into space and sent a cross from deep in the corner to a slashing Travis Giedroc who buried it in the net beating the keeper to his left and providing the 3-1 final score.

Both Bellefonte and Bald Eagle tuned up for the match over the Labor Day weekend playing in the Bald Eagle tournament and both teams experienced some success in their first matches of the season. Bellefonte beat Central Cambria 3-0 and lost to Mifflinburg 3-0 while Bald Eagle beat Central Cambria 3-2 and lost to Mifflinburg 3-0. Mifflinburg

Penns Valley played in the Belleville Mennonite Labor Day Classic and the Rams struggled to defend their goal against two aggressive attacking teams. In the first game Belleville Mennonite rode the speed and touch of Andrew Miller and Jung Kim as the two combined for five goals and three assists in a 5-0 shut out of Penns Valley. Coach Scott Case said his defense had trouble staying organized against two highly skilled attackers and the Rams were unable to muster a successful offensive attack. In the second game of the tournament, the Rams managed to tally two scores on a steamy Saturday morning as Kelsen Case and Dalton Ulmanic found the net but the Rams defense suffered a familiar fate as Meadowbrook Christian beat Frankie Randozzo for six goals in a 6-2 victory for the visitors from Union County. Jeff Kerstetter, the reigning Coach of the Year in Class A soccer brought his Halifax side up 322 from Dauphin County and won the tournament with a decisive 5-0 victory over Belleville Mennonite for their second consecutive tournament championship.

Penns Valley Student to Present Jazz Concert Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

Many of us fondly remember the Big Band era of popular music. Being born in 1949, I missed the heyday of this era in the mid-1940s, but as a child, I remember those songs emanating from the old Philco radio in our living room in the 1950s before we got a television. Yes, kids, there was once a world without TV! In those days, the big bands often featured glamorous female vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee, and many others fronting the band, and wailing out the songs that have become jazz band standards over the decades since that golden age. It’s an era long gone, and virtually unknown by younger generations.

Autumn Blaze wails on a torch song at her rehearsal.

On December 3, 2011, at 8 p.m., those golden days will be brought back for one night in the Penns Valley High School auditorium, as Penns Valley High School senior, Autumn Blaze will present a concert titled Autumn Blaze and her Orchestra. The concert, which is Autumn’s senior project, will feature the vocal talent of Autumn Blaze, backed up by a professional 16-piece jazz band, directed by jazz professional, Rick Hirsch. The concert will include a ten-song repertoire of songs specially arranged for Autumn by Mr. Hirsch.

The repertoire will consist of many jazz standards, with a few modern pieces included for the younger audience members. Autumn is keeping the song titles a secret until the concert.

The band has a Penns Valley connection, with trombonists Jay Vonada, a Penns Valley alumnus, and Penns Valley band director, Paul Lescowicz as members.

Proceeds from the concert will benefit the Penns Valley High School dramatic arts and music programs.

Autumn is a veteran of these programs, having participated in many plays and concerts in her years at Penns Valley High School.

On August 18, Autumn and her band got together at the high school auditorium for their only rehearsal

Besides providing some excellent entertainment for people in the area, they hope the concert serves as a platform to launch the musical/stage career which Autumn plans.

This concert promises to be a pleasant night of music and nostalgia for aficionados of the golden age of big bands, and also to serve as a valuable musical history lesson for the younger generation.

The Last Laugh is Ours

By Pat Park

State College Community Theatre is finishing an excellent summer season with Ken Ludwig’s Leading Ladies and they are following that old theatre rule – “always leave them laughing.” The play is full of silliness, mistaken identity, cross dressing, and lots of confusion leading up to the required happy ending. It even includes a four-minute performance of Shakespear’s Twelfth Night. What more could an audience want?

The scenes between Eric J. Lindquist and Rob Arnold are especially well done. As Leo and Jack, they are funny; as Maxine and Stephanie, they are hilarious. It should come as a surprise that the other characters on stage would actually believe that these two guys were women. To be honest, I even found Rob to be very sexy in black velvet.

I wish that Nazli Sarpkaya’s biography had included her past theatre credits. As Meg, she has the opportunity to show her range of acting skills while keeping in mind that she was doing comedy. I especially liked her scene with the red cocktail dress.

She uses it almost as a prop – very well done.

Tom McClary is no stranger to local theatre and this show gives him a chance to be silly. I always appreciate an actor whose lines are crisp and clear.

Michelle V. Siwert, on the other hand, is new to the Boal Barn audiences. She is fresh and energetic, though she may do the worst Marlon Brando voice I have ever heard. (It did get a big laugh).

Eric Kress, Gail Alberini, and Jason Poorman rounded out the cast well. They each had a shining moment in Twelfth Night.

Director Mike Knarr is to be congratulated for the fun bits of business in the play and good use of the arena stage. Costumes were designed by Amy Silverman and she did her usual fantastic job. Opening night needed more dressers at various entrances; too many little details were incomplete (bows, zippers, etc.).

If Ken Ludwig is an unknown play write to you, go see Leading Ladies. You will see why he is considered the contemporary master of complete silly.

Leading Ladies will be at Boal Barn until September the 17th.

I need to add some personal thank yous at the end of this excellent summer season: Amber Daughtry and David Price, the producers for the season, you made my Barn experience a joy. Drew, Meadow Lane Photography as always added so many great pictures. I hope that I get to review a book by you some day.

Special guests, The Strawbs, also formed in the 1960s and quickly made a name for themselves in the English Folk scene. By the early 70’s, this pioneering outfit had pushed the boundaries of the Folk genre, and their ground-breaking succession of albums such as Hero and Heroine and Ghosts earned them a Progressive Rock label in America, alongside Genesis, Yes, and Jethro Tull.

NOTICE

Marty Cattuzzo Author of CountDown

To The Last Day The Final 153 Days of 2011 A.D. Published December 2011.

A true workman who neededth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth, comparing scripture to scripture who has studied to show himself approved! 2 Timothy 2:15 May 21, 2011-October 21, 2011 is a great period for salvation for God’s chosen ones. 153 days = a Great Multitude of Fish which did not break the disciples net. Five months or 153 days of salvation. After Peter drew in the net Jesus then said “Come and Dine.” John 21:12.

Come ye who hunger and thirst. Isaiah 55:1. Today is still the day of SALVATION! Jesus said to “watch and pray.” He is waiting on YOU! Do not delay as His coming is nigh, even unto the door! 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.
