Editor’s Prologue

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

Mark your preference: www.centrecountygazette.com

Last week’s issue featuring 11 Exceptional Women of 2011 was just the beginning. I’ve continued to receive worthy nominations which I will pursue and feature in future issues. Speaking of nominations, September 30 is the deadline to nominate a good neighbor for 11 Exceptional Men of 2011. We’ve already received glowing recommendations for a pastor, war hero, judge, and all-around great guy.

Last weekend, with no home Penn State game, was packed with events all over the county – so many that we couldn’t attend them all. However, we made it to the Benner Township Fall Festival, Then & NOW exhibit at the Military Museum in Boalsburg, Spring Mills Community Yard Sales, Snow Shoe fall festival and car show, Bellefonte croquet tournament, the gourmet dinner at the Lemont Granary, State College ladies roller derby, Circ de Soliel, Acoustic Brew concert series opening, and a bunch of high school sporting events. Whew! Thanks, writers, for your dogged pursuit of good news.

We’re featuring fall planting and landscaping in this issue. Our master gardeners from Penn State contributed a great article (as always) on planting trees and shrubs.

I was also fortunate enough to be able to ask a local expert about fall gardening and maintenance. His answers will help all of us greet spring with better blooms and sturdier stems.

Hometown Heroes is back after a short hiatus. See Brian Bassett’s feature on Lance and Ellen (?) Shaner, a well-known philanthropic couple, who, most recently, gave generously to Mt Nittany Medical Center’s new cancer center.

Check out the ever-growing list of events in What’s Happening and Save the Date calendars. We’re moving into the season for fall festivals, hayrides, and Halloween, with a focus on the harvest and kids’ events.

Next week we’ll focus on seniors and the elderly – from education and outings to retirement communities and estate issues. These days, we can expect two or three decades of retirement, so we’ll try to cover issues that appeal to active seniors, the elderly, and caregivers.

He cares.

He’s humble.

He works hard.

He’s always ready to lend a hand.

IT’S TIME TO HONOR HIM

11 Exceptional Men of 2011 Do you know a Centre County man who helps others, donates his time, or goes that extra mile to make others’ lives better? He could be a teacher, medical professional, public servant, business owner, charity worker, coach, or volunteer.

What counts is that he unselfishly makes a difference in his world.

Send your nomination to Sandie Biddle.

Deadline is Friday, September 30.

Send his name, contact information, reason for nomination, and your contact information.

Centre Count y Schools Charter School Picnic a Success

Centre Region Friend Program Kickoff Sunday

STATE COLLEGE – Young Scholars of Central PA Charter School (YSCP) in State College hosted an open house and picnic at the start of school for about 300 students and their family members. Pictured are Yeoh-Hee serving her daughter Sara who is in second grade. To the right is Frank Ayata, the school’s business manager who helped with the event.

YSCP, the largest charter school in State College, focuses on a multi-cultural education for students in kindergarten to eighth grade. Free after-school clubs also focus on international themes. More info is available at www.yscp.org.

Contributed by The Second Mile

The Centre Region Friend Program will kick-off its year of recreational and educational activities on Sunday September 25. With 10 exciting events throughout the school year, such as Harvest Hoedown, Carnival, and Healthy Adventures Day, the Friend Program provides an opportunity for schoolaged youth to connect with positive adult role models.

The program pairs collegiate volunteers with K through 6th grade students to participate in fun activities. In order to promote the development of healthy self-esteem and personal responsibility, College Friend and Young Friend pairs also work together on goals targeting academic and social success.

The Centre Region Friend Program serves kids from both Centre and Mifflin counties. In addition, Friend operates in Blair, Chester, Clinton, Delaware, Lancaster, and Montgomery Counties as well as the Lehigh Valley. Last year, the program served more than 500 at-risk youth throughout the state. If you feel the Friend Program would be a good fit for someone you know and would like to more information, contact your school counselor or The Second Mile.

The Second Mile provides nine prevention, early intervention, and community-based programs and services free of charge to more than 100,000 Pennsylvania children annually. For more information, contact The Second Mile at (814) 237-1719 or visit www.thesecondmile.org.

Practical Pet

the

By Toni Duchi

Protect Your Pets from Wild Animals

We live in a rural area – duh! But more and more, I hear of people’s animals being hurt by wild animals. One of the main reasons for this is the continuous expansion of commercial and residential developments. Most animals have a natural migration pattern, and we disrupt it with construction, trails, and new neighborhoods. It’s inevitable that our pets will be in the path of some animal’s migration route – sooner or later there will be a confrontation.

While simply trapping and relocating the animals seems like a quick fix, it really isn’t because it doesn’t remove the underlying reason the animal was there in the first place. Another will just move in. Education is a better solution.

First, look around the outside of your home. If you see any small holes or openings near foundations or steps, seal them up. A hole the size of a tennis ball is ample for most small animals, even raccoons. Openings in porches and sheds, or stacked woodpiles provide an ideal refuge for animals. Sink any boards at least six inches below the soil so that animals cannot dig underneath.

Raccoons, opossums, and squirrels, the top three offenders of pet attacks, can easily scale the side of a house and enter through chimneys, vents, and holes in awnings. These animals are stronger than you think and can rip through most small holes, making them large enough to enter. If your fireplace doesn’t have a screen on the top, check it for nests.

Once inside attics, animals make nests.

Traditional traps are usually not effective, so a private trapping service might be needed.

Look around your yard. Animals are attracted to a garden that is not adequately fenced and offers something they like to eat. If fencing your yard is not an option, at least keep food at a minimum. Remove bird feeders, pick up fallen fruit or nuts, and keep your garbage cans either inside or tightly closed.

If you have a skunk trapped inside a window well, the best way to get him out is to put a tree branch or board down into it and allow the skunk to climb its own way out.

If you see an animal hole and don’t know what the animal is inside, sprinkle some flour around the hole and then look at the tracks the next day. That will at least tell you what you’re dealing with.

Your goal should be to drive all the animals away from your yard. Even if the animals are not causing any problems, they will draw larger animals such as coyotes to your property. One way to drive animals away is to place rags that are soaked in ammonia or mothballs around holes, garbage cans, and any area you feel is frequented by wild animals. Be sure to put the ammonia on the rags and not on the ground as the chemical may damage plants or soil.

Don’t allow your dog (or cat) to attempt to drive the animal away. Even the smallest scratch from a wild animal can transfer disease. Never attempt to confront an animal that does not immediately run away when you are present and making noise. If an animal looks sick or injured, call the authorities.

Here’s a short list of things you can do to help prevent issues with wild animals.

• Obviously, install a fence if you can.

• Be sure your pet is properly vaccinated, especially for rabies, as most wild animals that are aggressive are usually rabid.

• Keep a proper first aid kit on hand in case of an attack.

• Keep an I.D. on your dog in case he runs when injured.

• When walking your dog, keep pepper spray with you in case of a confrontation with a wild animal.

• Keep your yard trimmed back, mowed down, and pick up loose fruit or nuts from trees.

• Feed your pets inside. Even the smell of old food can bring an animal to your property.

• Seal crawl spaces around your house.

• Put up a motion detector light – that will sometimes drive away animals that prefer the dark for foraging.

• Remove your bird feeder. They can attract not only small animals, but also bears.

• Notify the authorities if you see an animal acting strangely.

These simple things can keep your dog and cat safe, especially as the weather gets colder and food gets more scarce in the woods.

Hometown Heroes

Lance & Ellen Shaner Generous Community Supporters

By Brian E. Bassett

Lance and Ellen Shaner have resided in the State College area for more than 18 years.

Throughout that time they have generously supported charities, including Centre Volunteers in Medicine, Easter Seals, and The Second Mile. Lance has also led the way in fundraising for the Centre County United Way, State College Family YMCA, and numerous Penn State campaigns.

The Shaners emerged as strong supporters of Mount Nittany Medical Center’s new cancer center.

The Mount Nittany Medical Center Board of Trustees announced September 8, 2011 – following a September 7 building dedication – that Lance and Ellen made a substantial gift to the Medical Center’s comprehensive Cancer Center now under construction. It will be named, “The Lance and Ellen Shaner Cancer Center at Mount Nittany Medical Center.”

“The Lance and Ellen Shaner Cancer Center gives the medical center the opportunity to provide dedicated dignified space where patients and families can access the broad continuum of services that they need,” explained Steve Brown, president and CEO of Mount Nittany Health System [during the building dedication]. “We are exceedingly grateful to Lance and Ellen Shaner for recognizing our desire to move cancer treatment and support services together – in one facility – to support cancer patients’ unique healthcare needs.”

The Shaner Cancer Center will provide

the community with radiation and medical oncology services, examination space, and more than 20 private chemotherapy suites.

Special amenities provided will include a large resource room for patients and families; space for integrative rehabilitation services and nutritional consultations; private, quiet waiting areas as well as public waiting areas; and a dedicated pharmacy.

Cancer Center construction should be completed before the end of 2012 – at which time a community open house will be announced.

To note additional community support, the Shaners established a generous endowment to support travel, lodging, medical, and pharmaceutical co-pays – and other treatment-related needs for cancer patients receiving care at the Cancer Center. Their families will also receive consideration.

“These gifts demonstrate our continued commitment to the Centre Region and our desire to make a significant contribution to fighting a disease that takes such a significant toll on families,” explained Lance Shaner.

He dedicated the day to his father, Alyn, who succumbed to cancer 17 years ago, and to his friend J.B. Griffin, who died one month ago.

“The Cancer Center at Mount Nittany will be a phenomenal resource for patients and families, and we are humbled and excited for what it will mean now and for generations to come,” concluded Shaner.

David Baldacci can usually be found on the New York Times bestseller list, but he has become so prolific that some of his books have lost their edge. Deliver Us From Evil, last year’s bestseller, has come out in paperback and it is a thriller in true Baldacci style.

Reggie Campion is an agent with a secret vigilante group. This is a group that tracks and kills Nazi fugitives who have been living comfortably since the war.

Reggie is very good at what she does.

The mysterious Shaw is also a member of a secret group that hunts down the bad guys, the ones who are a danger to the world today. Shaw is also extremely good at his job.

Although they do not know it, they are both involved with a man named Evan Waller.

Reggie wants to find him to make him pay for his war crimes; Shaw wants to stop him from providing materials to terrorist groups who would have the ability to cause the deaths of millions of people.

The three of them arrive in Provence;

Reggie is not as cruel, but she does have a secret agenda of her own and is willing to go to extremes to carry her plans to the end.

She wants her victims to know why she is killing them.

Shaw, as the anti-hero, plays a little

more by the book, but is still ruthless when he has a job to do. Being a part of a branch of our government, he also has unlimited resources.

The three of them make for a suspense story worthy of Hitchcock at his best. It is full of remarkable characters, death-defying action, plot twists, and a final scene that will cause you to hold your breath for several pages – all of the things that I want a Baldacci book to do.

The book stands on its own, but Shaw’s previous relationship with one of the minor characters plays a part in the plot. Shaw was first introduced by Baldacci in The Whole Truth, which you may want to read as a companion book. Just don’t blame me if they get you hooked on David Baldacci.

A Dinner for History Article and photos by Jasmine J. Suarez LEMONT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The eighth annual Granary Gourmet Dinner was served Saturday (9/17), catered by Tom Everly of Keystone Yankee Catering. The dinner is a fund raiser for the renovation and restoration of the Thompson Grain Elevator and Coal Sheds. The dinner was not only a way to raise money for historic preservation, it is also a way to show off the buildings.Â

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tom always comes up with a new menu of recipes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to fix, and people attend since they love to eat his cooking,â&#x20AC;? said Sue Smith, the president of the Lemont Village Association (LVA).

The restoration of the buildings, built in 1885, from run-down, fallingapart ruins to amazing historic structures demonstrates to the community that the history of Lemont is important and old architecture should be preserved.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people have come to all eight dinners because they know the food will be excellent and the company will be terrific. Also, the fact that people

are willing to come for a fancy dinner in a building without a bathroom and with no heat is a great attraction,â&#x20AC;? said Sue.Â

The dinner is just one of the many fundraising events. In the past 13 years the community has raised and spent more than $400,000 on the buildings.

When the LVA bought the property in 1993 the buildings were literally falling down and the village green was a mess of gravel roads and oil tanks. Both the grain elevator and coal sheds have been renovated with the funds raised and the village green was created.

A former classroom is being renovated by volunteers guided by PVCC Youth Pastor, Tim Shutes. Boy Scout, Drew Hurd is overseeing the work days as his Eagle Scout project.

Autumn Starts Early in Benner Township

By Jillian Decker

No doubt we all felt the recent drop in temperature that let us know that autumn was on its way. The people of Benner Township embraced the change of seasons at their 13th annual Fall Festival held on Saturday, September 17. Vendors from across Centre County gathered at the Buffalo Run Community Park to offer their goods at the festival, saying that the brisk, sunny day was a welcome change from the heavy rains the event has faced the past

This schedule of events was displayed and outlined the activities planned throughout the day.

few years. The vendors at this year’s festival ranged from local entrepreneurs to community volunteers to professional sales associates – intermingling to provide visitors with their array of produce, flowers, baked goods, quilts, jewelry, and other crafted wares.

Visitors were met at the entrance to the Buffalo Run Park by the Shuey’s Market flower and produce stand, a four-year veteran of the festival manned by Benner Township local Connie Shuey. The Fall Festival was host not only to vendors but also to several events for visitors and community members.

Just past the small farmer’s market, a sign was posted with the day’s events, starting with a scavenger hunt at 10:30 a.m. followed shortly by pumpkin stacking and pumpkin seed blowing.

Later in the afternoon visitors were invited to participate in the 1 p.m. pumpkin decorating contest and the 3 p.m. pumpkin float.

The day was enlivened by the musical talents of Bill “Dr. BE” Brashers, a resident of State College and Penn State doctoral alumnus of Organizational Psychology. Dr. BE’s Jeannette Long wife, Gloria Brashers, manned posed with her “Celebrating Home” booth, her signature boasting home goods and decbirdhouse gourds, the orations for the season as well keystone of her as copies of her husband’s first annual booth. recording, Spiritual Storm. The couple has been coming to the Fall Festival for five years, just a fraction of Gloria’s 29 years in house wares and design.

Alongside the “Celebrating Home” booth was Pleasant Gap local Sharon Hicks, owner and creator of “Sharon’s Soaps-nStuff.” Another five-year veteran of the

Benner Township Fall Festival, Sharon offered a wide selection of handcrafted soaps, including old-fashioned lye, glycerin, sea salt, olive oil, and a variety of goats’ milk soaps, each with a carefully blended, custom scent. Other crafts included screen print tees, handmade jewelry, knit bags, and custom woodworking. Crafter Jeannette Long of Bellefonte offered wild catnip toys, metalwork jewelry, and her signature birdhouse gourds.

Nestled among the crafters was the Buffalo Run Valley Churches’ food stall, The Benner Township Fall Festival is held annually which offered a variety of treats from sodas at Buffalo Run Community Park in Bellefonte. and homemade brownies to cookies and fresh-cooked hot dogs. Manned by Buffalo Run resident Peggy Shuffstall, the booth charged no fees for their refreshments.

Rather, an optional donation could be made to benefit the Fillmore Valley Food Bank, a cause supported by the members of the Buffalo Run, Fillmore Valley, and Valley View Churches of Pastor Dwayne Bardo of Benner Township.

Snow Shoe Hosts Fall Festival & Car Show Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

SNOW SHOE – The Snow Shoe Annual Fall Festival and Car Show was held at Snow Shoe Park on Saturday, September 17. This annual event featured a car show, craft and flea market vendors, food stands, and live music from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. by Near Heaven, Joyful Noise, and The Silver Eagle Band.

The Mountaintop Pool Association also held a kids’ Fun Run during the festival. Money raised by the association’s Fun Run will go toward repairing and refurbishing the swimming pool so it can be reopened next summer.

Of course, being a car lover, I headed for the car show area of the park, where a nice array of antiques, classics, muscle cars, sports cars, and trucks was gathering in spite of the chilly weather. I met Vince Humenay from Morrisdale who showed a spotless white 1965 Thunderbird convertible.

This ragtop features a top which folds down, then retracts into the trunk of the car, giving a smooth look from windshield to tail. The convertible Birds of this vintage are rarely seen. Vince found the car in Millheim, needing only some touch up to be a show quality machine. It has a 390 V-8, a swing-away steering wheel, and factory air conditioning.

Mark Warrender of Bellefonte brought a 1930 Ford Model AA flatbed truck in green and black. This truck used the same four-cylinder engine as the Model A automobiles, but with much lower gearing to provide the torque required for hauling heavy loads. Mark found the truck in North Dakota, where it was used as a working truck until 1977. Mark has the complete history of the truck, including a North Dakota title issued in 1939, and a license plate from 1930, which he keeps mounted on the front bumper.

Mark retained the original hand crank starter, but

lover!

One of the coolest vehicles in the show had no engine. It was a 1966 Schwinn Fastback bicycle owned by Jeff Hodgson of Clarence. Jeff restored the Fastback to original condition, and equipped it with an original Schwinn speedometer, headlight, and under-seat carry bag. He displayed it with some vintage ad posters, warranty card, and owner’s manual. The bike features hi-rise handlebars, a white banana seat, and five-speed derailleur gears. Jeff estimated the bike’s value at around $2,000. It’s a great nostalgia piece for those of us who rode bikes like that in the 1960s!

Home-grown vegetables and flowers filled this booth.

Nittany Valley Writers Network Hosts Freelance Writing Talk Article & photo by Karen Dabney

STATE COLLEGE – On Tuesday, September 12, the Nittany Valley Writers Network kicked off their 2011-2012 season with “Tips for Starting a Freelance Career,” presented by local freelance writer Sue Poremba. Two dozen writers gathered in the Schlow Centre Region Library Community Room to hear her Sue Poremba inspiring, informative talk.

Poremba spoke about the benefits and challenges of a freelance writing career. She liked not having to deal with difficult coworkers, the freedom to dress as she pleased, the flexible hours, and having control over how much she earned. She also listed less desirable aspects: no paid leave, no income unless she worked, difficulty getting paid, the need to market herself, and the challenges of dealing with editors and interviewees. Poremba has health insurance through her husband’s employer but many freelancers must obtain their own insurance.

“Freelancing is a wonderful job,” she said, “but I have to regulate myself. I don’t get to put a few hours in, then take the rest of the day off....It’s a lot of hard work. I don’t like marketing [myself] but that’s how you get most of the work.”

Poremba began freelancing part time in 2000 while working full time at Penn State. In 2005, she found out that she and her coworkers were being laid off due to a lack of funding. Her husband encouraged her to try doing what she loved instead of seeking another job. She has worked successfully as a full time freelance writer for six years.

“I tend to write non-fiction for trade magazines, business to business,” Poremba said. She writes for glossy print publications and web publications, including paid blogging. She has also published two books, The Phillies Fan’s Little Book of Wisdom, and 29 Things to Know About Catholicism.

Poremba has a degree in English and her previous jobs had a writing component. She said this level of experience wasn’t necessary. “You don’t need a writing background.

Editors want to know you have the talent to write, will do the job, and be able to write intelligently.”

Joining a freelance online support group, Freelance Success, has helped her career and connected her with a community of other writers. They told her not to worry if the Writers Market said don’t e-mail or send simultaneous queries to a certain publication. She now e-mails almost everyone.

Her online colleagues showed her how to write an LOI, a letter of introduction or inquiry, as a tool to seek new work, focusing on how her skills match the publication’s needs. She e-mails many prospective markets at the same time and gets one response for every five she sends.

Poremba said she never just writes something and sends it off. There are many unscrupulous editors who will steal writers’ ideas and sources instead of paying them.

She talked about developing a platform. With freelance writing, a platform is created when the writer specializes in certain areas and publishes enough that people recognize the writer’s name. “You become a go-to person they want to work with.”

Poremba said that editors notice if you’re a jack of all trades, and prefer a specialized writer who knows the editor’s subject well enough to discuss it and suggest ideas. In the last two years, her platform gave her 75 percent of her writing jobs.

To find writing markets, Poremba conducts Google searches for publications in her areas of interest. She said that diversity is important, rather than working for one client, one industry, or one type of publication.

Poremba listed the qualities needed for success in this career. Freelance writers must be self-motivated and meet deadlines. They need to be able to work alone, and to interview people they don’t know. It is necessary to juggle multiple tasks and assignments. She usually works on five to 10 assignments per day, and has been known to do five interviews in a day on different topics. “It’s a job and you have to treat it like a job.”

“Writers can make a liveable salary,” Poremba said.

“Writing can be very lucrative. You can make a six figure salary but it’s a lot of hard work.” She said she knows many writers who provide the sole income for their families.

Upcoming Nittany Valley Writers Network meetings include talks on “Fictional Autobiography” by Hülya Yilmaz, Ph.D on October 11, and “Poetry, Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Creative Non-Fiction” by Heather Jordan, Ph.D.

Membership is free and open to writers of all genres and levels. The Nittany Valley Writers Network hosts speakers at Schlow Library, 211 S. Allen Street, State College on most second Tuesdays at 7 p.m. The group also holds monthly breakfasts and evening socials.

This was echoed by Manning, who stated that “Looking ahead [in the Time Line], we see how much better dressed we were… If there was a way for war to be elegant, [the Hessians] were it.”

From the Hessians, the Time Line jumped into the mid-19th century, with two groups of re-enactors portraying the Union Army of the Civil War.

Fall Planting & Landscaping Autumn Is an Ideal Time to Plant Trees and Shrubs

FALL Expert Q& A Answers from the Experts at Fox Hill Gardens

By Sandie Biddle & John Allegar

An avid flower gardener and sole tender of about two acres of lawn and pond, I am learning many gardening and landscaping tips the hard way. This year, I’ve asked expert landscaper, John Allegar, some questions about fall planting and outdoor maintenance that I hope you will find useful. I certainly will!

Here’s John’s answer when asked about fall planting, “You can and should plant in fall!

Early September to soil freeze-up is ideal, as late as late December some years. A common misconception is the notion that it’s too cold after first frost, but in reality trees and shrubs respond to transplanting better when it is cool and they are top-growth dormant. Truth be told, it’s probably the best time to plant, with the possible exceptions being broad-leafed evergreens such as Rhododendron or Holly planted in somewhat wind-exposed areas.

By Suzanne Grieb, Master Gardener

We have had good success with November or December Rhododendron plantings in a more sheltered forest area.

Many people think that spring, the time of new growth, is the best time for planting trees and shrubs. However, cooler temperatures and an abundance of rainfall make autumn a great time to plant. Soil temperatures are warmer in the fall, and trees and shrubs planted then are also less likely to suffer from pests and diseases.

Trees and shrubs must be planted early enough in the fall for the plants to develop a good root system. Although roots continue to grow in soil as cold as 40 degrees, soil temperatures above 55 degrees at a soil depth of six inches are optimum. In our area, conditions are usually good for planting until the middle or the end of October.

For best results, select balled-and-burlapped or container-grown plants instead of barerooted plants. (Bare-rooted plants should be put into the soil in late winter or early spring while the plants are still dormant.) The hole for the plant should be two to three times wider than and just as deep as the root ball. Once the hole is the right size, dig the shovel into the hole a few times to loosen the bottom of the hole. This will make it easier for the roots to spread.

Just before planting, be sure to remove all wires, tags, and twine from the roots. If the roots are encased in burlap, you can either remove it or allow it to stay in place to decompose naturally. If you keep the burlap on, do cut it back from the top of the root ball so that it doesn’t wick moisture away from the roots.

If the plant has been grown in a container and the roots are tangled when you remove the plant from the pot, you can either try to untangle the roots or cut them using a saw or a sturdy knife to make two cuts into the bottom of the root ball. When placing the plant into the soil, set it securely in the hole and make sure to completely back-fill the soil around the plant.

Avoid planting large trees or shrubs in the fall. Large plants can be tricky to transplant anytime of the year, but they are even more sensitive when foliage is present.

Newly-planted trees and shrubs need adequate water – about an inch each week. Trees and shrubs require a lot of water, particularly when they are trying to establish good roots.

Continue watering even after deciduous plants have lost their leaves, and don’t stop until the ground freezes solid.

Consider wrapping the trunks of young trees with burlap in late November. This will help prevent damage to the bark and will help to avoid frost cracks, scalding from the sun, and animal damage. The wrap should then be removed in March.

It is also a good idea to apply a two- to four-inch layer of compost or straw in late November or early December after the plants go dormant and the soil cools below 40 degrees.

This will help alleviate newly-planted trees and shrubs, particularly those will shallow root systems, from heaving out of the ground by alternate freezing and thawing of the soil.

A few additional hints for successful planting: Do not amend the soil or add compost to the planting hole. If the soil directly surrounding the roots is more nutrient rich than the soil around the plant, the roots may grow in circles instead of branching out making the plant much less stable in the ground.

Do not apply fertilizer in the fall to a newly-planted tree. This would encourage the foliage to grow, weakening the plant and taking away energy from the establishing root system. Wait until the spring to fertilize.

Finally, do not attempt to prune the newly-planted tree or shrub. Pruning encourages new growth, having the same result as applying fertilizer in the fall.

Above all, do some research before you plant any tree or shrub into your landscape. Make sure that your planting location meets the growing conditions required by the plant. If a plant requires full sun, do not attempt to plant it in a shady location. Always pay attention to the mature size of the plant. Make sure you leave enough space around the plant to allow for good air circulation and expansion.

Note that there are also some species of plants that are more susceptible than others to winter damage and are best planted in the spring. Among them are magnolia, dogwood, red maple, Japanese maple, birch, poplar, cherry, plum. Again, do some research before you select your plants.

Some attention now to the fall landscape will pay big dividends next spring. Take a walk around your property and take note of areas that could benefit from the addition of a new or replacement tree or shrub. Visit local garden centers and nurseries to see what plants are still available; some are even running end-of-season sales. Then get outside and do some fall planting. There will be time enough from December until early March to hibernate!

Can any flowering plants be brought inside?

Generally not unless they have a tuber like begonias and can go dormant. If you have a heated green house, most annual flowers can survive, though may not flower well in December or January. A very sunny window may allow success with shade-tolerant annuals such as impatiens or begonias.

Q:

Should any bulbs be lifted in this climate?

A:

You should lift and store (in a cool, dark, dry space) Canna, Dahlia, Caladium, and other tender perennial bulbs that are not hardy to the colder areas of zone 6

Q:

How can I tell when can I stop mowing the lawn?

A:

Mowing height should be reduced with cooler temperatures and more soil moisture through September and October ultimately to two to three inches. A fall fertilizer (typically lower nitrogen) is recommended to promote fall root growth, and cleanup of all tree leaves or other material is recommended. After the early part of October, turfgrass growth rate is markedly reduced; a final mowing is normally about early to mid-November, depending on November temperatures.

Steelers Bounce Back Nittany Lions Escape Temple (of dome) with a Hard Fought Win with Shutout of Seahawks

By Les Barnhart

It has been said in many ways.

“Just win baby” is the mantra made famous by the velour sweat suit sporting owner of the Oakland Raiders, Al Davis. My neighbor reminded me that winning ugly is a lot better than losing pretty. And the coaches classic line, “winning may not be everything but losing gets you fired”. But perhaps the line that best sums up the outcome of the Penn State-Temple game on Saturday is one that often comes from Coach Paterno; “you are not as good as you think you are when you win or as bad as you think you are when you lose”.

While the Nittany Lions didn’t lose the game to the Owls in Philadelphia last Saturday, they seemingly did everything they could to do to blemish Coach Paterno’s now 28-0 record against Bill Cosby’s alma mater.

In a game that was about as far from perfect as a game could get, the Nittany Lions leaned on their defense to survive until Michael Zordich bowled into the endzone with 2:42 left to play and gave Penn State their first lead of the game. The defense forced four turnovers in the game including Michael Mauti’s interception of Mike Gerardi with 8:46 to play that set up Zordich’s score.

Temple (3-1) took a 7-0 lead just past the midway point of the opening quarter and held that lead until Penn State tied the game with just under five minutes left to play before halftime. Silas Redd knotted the game with a 17 yard rushing touchdown that seemed to breathe life into a Nittany Lion team that saw its special teams units take the field 21 times in the game.

Of those trips, missed field goals as well as a blocked punt and field goal served as lowlights for the Nittany Lions.

The Owls added a field goal just before halftime to take a lead into halftime (10-7) for the second time in as many games with Penn State. Last season, Temple had the Nittany Lions on the ropes in Beaver Stadium before losing some of that steam in the second half and watching their chance to upend the top football program in Pennsylvania.

The Nittany Lion defense played a good game against a team that Paterno gave credit as being one of the best that he has faced in his storied career in Happy Valley. The Owls were ready to play and refused to give up even after Zordich’s score. Temple looked to have one more drive in their bid to upset the Lions and add a huge building block in the Owls football program. That drive was extended thanks to a personal foul call against Drew Astorino but the defense would again stand up against the Owls and Sean Stanley ended the drive when he sacked Gerardi on Penn State’s 40 yard line.

Penn State has Eastern Michigan coming into town this Saturday and with it, a final “walkthrough” before opening Big Ten play against Indiana. The rotation at quarterback may continue and most likely will this week as neither Rob Bolden nor Matt McGloin has asserted themselves as the starter. Both have struggled at times and both have shown they can play at the levels most have expected. Unfortunately, the Eagles will present little challenge to Penn State and if they do, perhaps the Temple scare didn’t do what many fans hoped it would have done.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

By Matt Masullo

The Pittsburgh Steelers got the bitter taste out of their mouth after last week’s 35-7 at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens with a 24-0 shutout victory over the Seattle Seahawks in their 2011 home opener at Heniz Field.

The Steelers got a scare in the second quarter when Ben Roethlisberger got hit low on a questionable hit to his knee and found himself lying on the Heinz Field turf. He would leave the game momentarily, but return to throw a two-yard touchdown to Mike Wallace in the route. He was an efficient 22-30 on the day for 298 yards. Rashard Mendenhall led all rushers with 66 yards and a touchdown and Mike Wallace caught eight balls for 126 yards and the

two-yard touchdown grab.

The game was dominated from start to finish by the Steelers and their aging defense. They held Tavaris Jackson to just 159 yards passing and kept Marshawn Lynch under twenty yards rushing on the day.

Next week, the Steelers face the Indianapolis Colts on NBC in Sunday Night Football.

The Colts are 0-2 for the first time since Peyton Manning’s rookie season in 1998.

Falcons Spoil Vicks Return

By Matt Masullo

On a night when most of America thought that Michael Vick and the Eagles would waltz through the Georgia Dome on their journey to the Super Bowl, Matt Ryan and company stunned the most hyped team in the league with a 35-31 victory. The Eagles lost Vick in the third quarter to a concussion when he was spun into an Eagles offensive lineman. Backup Mike Kafka came off the bench and almost led the Birds to a comeback victory in the waning seconds, only to have a last ditch effort pass knocked down as time expired.

The buildup leading to this game made for one of the biggest regular season contests for the Falcons since Vick was in town. His replacement, Matt Ryan, put the Falcons on his back and guided them to a huge victory. The win marked Ryan’s 21st career home victory, extending his record in the Georgia Dome to 21-4. Ryan threw for 194 yards and four scores

to go along with two interceptions. Future Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez hauled in two of Ryan’s four scores. For the Eagles, Jeremy Maclin shook off his pre-season ailment to catch 13 passes for 171 yards and two scores. Vick finished his night early, tossing for 242 yards, two scores and one pick. He also ran for 25 yards on six carries.

Next week, the Eagles host the Giants in their 2011 home opener at the Linc in Philadelphia. Although they may be without the services of Mike Vick, Eagles fans have to be happy about the play of Mike Kafka. Had Maclin not dropped a pass over the middle late I nthe fourth quarter, the Eagles could have been in an easier situation to go for the win, as opposed to throwing a Hail Mary as time expired.

Red Raiders Shutout

by Golden Eagles

By Gazette Sports Department

On a night when Tyrone was coming off of their first regular season home loss in nearly a decade, they bounced back in grand fashion against the Bellefonte Red Raiders, routing them 51-0 at Gray Field. The Golden Eagles dominated from start to finish, limiting the Red Raiders to more offensive plays than yards gained (42 plays – 38 yards).

Bellefonte opened the game up on the receiving end of the kickoff. They converted a fourth down near midfield and appeared to be on their way on their first possession. After their next three offensive plays, the faced another fourth and short situation, but opted to punt and put the defense on the field, and that was all she wrote.

The Golden Eagles moved effortlessly down the field, with Akron-bound Steve Franco scoring on a quarterback sneak to give Tyrone a 7-0 lead. It was one of the few times that a PAT would be converted, as the Gold Eagles missed five PAT attempts. On Bellefonte’s ensuing possession, quarterback Jordan Fye would be picked off by Charles Wilson-Adams and taken back 41 yards for the score.

Franco would hit Nick Patton on a 43-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter and Hayden Zook on a 44-yard pass in the third quarter on his way to throwing for 151 yards on only six completions. Running back Christian Getz led all rushers with 143 yards on 17 carries. He also scored on a 9-yard run in the second quarter.

Bellefonte struggled to move the ball offensively after their first possession, while on defense, they couldn’t stop the Golden Eagles. Offensively, Fye was 7-12 for 25 yards and the one interception. Alex Kaltenbach led all rushers with 11 yards on four carries.

The Red Raiders (0-3) travel to Juniata this coming Friday.

Red Raiders Get Juniata in Week 4

By Gazette Sports Department

The Red Raider football team will look to get their offense in sync this week as they travel down route 322 to take on the Juniata Indians.

The Indians are coming off of two one-point games in the same week (29-28 victory over Penns Valley on Monday & 35-34 loss to Philipsburg Osceola on Friday). The Red Raiders, however, are coming off of two games that were not so close. In their last two games, the Red Raiders have been outscored 92-6.

In both games for Bellefonte, their offense has looked out of sync. Last week against Tyrone, they ran more offense plays than they had total yards (42 plays vs. 38 total yards). On the defensive side of the ball, the Red Raiders will need to focus on stopping the run. After being gouged on the ground in the last two weeks, they face a team that averages nearly 240 yards rushing per game in Juniata.

The Indians are led by fullback Cody Saner’s 273 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Neil Bodley also has four scores in addition to his 151 yards rushing on the season. Quarterback Colton Shertzer hasn’t had to pass much, as he only has 30 passing attempts through the first three games of the season. In 30 attempts, he has seven completions for 125 yards to go with one touchdown and two interceptions.

Bellefonte will be looking to find some sort of consistency on the ground. Colin Turner and Alex Kaltenbach lead the way on the ground for the Red Raiders, but each has yet to eclipse the 100 yard rushing mark on the season.

Kickoff is set for 7pm in Mifflintown.

Rams Get Stampeded in Clearfield

By Les Barnhart

HYDE – The Rams ran into a buzz saw last Friday night when they faced off with a potent Clearfield Bison team. The Bison offense, led by running back Beau Swales, amassed more than 500 yards of offense against a Rams team that held their own despite playing the much bigger school. Swales led the scoring attack in the 55-14 win with his three touchdown performance.

Clearfield (3-0) used a quick strike attack through the game and had built a 14-0 lead before Penns Valley (1-2) found their way into the endzone to cut the score in half at 14-7. On the scoring drive, quarterback Sam Snyder capped off an impressive seven play, 90 yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run.

Snyder led the Rams rushing attack with 79 yards on nine carries against the Bison defense. He also led the Rams on their final scoring drive of the game in the third quarter when he tossed a 4-yard touchdown pass to Austin Auman to cut into what was at that point a massive deficit at 48-14. The touchdown for Penns Valley ended a run of five straight Clearfield touchdowns.

Luke Weaver led the Penns Valley receivers by hauling in three receptions for 58 yards while Taylor Collison had five grabs for 18 yards. Snyder ended the game completing 14 of 21 passes for 98 yards with the touchdown and an early interception.

The Rams will again be on the road this Friday as they head to Martinsburg to face off with a Central (1-2) team that looks to match up with Coach Marty Tobias’ team.

Eagles Post First Win of Season with Shutout of Wildcats

By Les Barnhart

Playing a team in which you have never seen before is never easy. Last Friday night in Wingate, Bald Eagle Area did just that when they welcomed the Halifax Wildcats onto the turf of Alumni Stadium. The Eagles defense faced off against a potent Wildcat offense and posted a 21-0 shutout to deliver Bald Eagle Area (1-2) their first win of the season.

The Eagles scored on their first possession of the game after taking the opening kickoff and driving 52 yards on eight plays.

The drive was capped by a 5-yard touchdown run by Cody Ripka to give the home crowd a 7-0 lead.

Halifax (0-3) put the Eagles defense to the test in the ensuing drive as the Wildcats drove the ball to the Eagles’ 16 yard line where they faced a 4th and 8 situation. Before the Wildcats could run a play, they were flagged twice for delay of game which pushed them back to the Eagles’ 26 and set up a 4th and 18. When they finally did get the play off, quarterback Robert Moretz was stopped cold for a loss which resulted in the Eagles taking over on offense.

The score would remain 7-0 at the half but that almost wasn’t the case as the Wildcats again drove inside the Eagles’ red zone, reaching the 17 before again turning the ball over on downs when a 4th and 2 conversion attempt was snuffed out by the Eagles defense.

Anytime a team can shut out their opponent, the defense did a solid job and Friday night was no different as the Eagles held the Halifax offense to just 158 yards.

Cole Long, the Eagles’ quarterback, gave his defense a little more breathing room as he pushed the lead to 14-0 with his short touchdown run mid-way through the third quarter. He would add his second touchdown of the game as the Eagles pushed the lead to 21-0 after he ran it in from 13 yards out to cap a 55 yard drive early in the fourth quarter.

The Eagles’ defense then clamped down on the Wildcats.

The bid for the shutout wasn’t without some late drama as on the final play of the game, Halifax running back Dan Habenthal appeared to haul in a touchdown catch but the officials would rule him out of the endzone to bring the game to an end and preserve the Eagles shutout.

Eagles Face Rival Mounties in First Road Game of the Season

By Les Barnhart

Bald Eagle Area leaves the friendly confines of Alumni Stadium and takes to the road for the first time this Friday when the head up the mountain to Philipsburg. The Mounties (2-1) and Eagles (1-2) is a classic Centre County matchup and with both teams coming into the game off of a win should set the stage for another installment in a long history of memorable games.

Philipsburg-Osceola posted a thrilling 35-34 win in double overtime last Friday over Juniata. The Indians also went into overtime with Penns Valley in week two. The Mounties opened their season with an impressive home win over Chestnut Ridge (0-3), 41-26 before losing on the road in week two to Marion Center (2-1), 27-13.

The Mounties always play well at home and the Eagles will come in looking to slow down a rushing attack that is averaging 201 yards per game. Michael John leads the Mounties rushing attack.

The Eagles have been outscored 79-49 through the first three games while the Mounties are scoring 30 points per game.

On defense however, Philipsburg-Osceola has allowed 87 points in three games (29 per game).

The game kicks off at 7pm and is featured as the WBLF 970AM “Game of the Week”.

Rams on the Road Looking to Slay the Dragons

By Les Barnhart

Coach Marty Tobias and his Ram football team will be on the road again this Friday night as they head to Martinsburg to battle Central. That is never an easy trip to make but the Rams look to match up with a Dragons team that has not scored a point in the third quarter though three games and comes in off a 34-24 loss to Central Mountain last week.

The Rams (1-2) will be playing their third road game in four games while their opponent plays in front of their home crowd for the third time in four games. Both teams have faced and defeated Bellefonte on the road as well as losing to Clearfield. Central played Clearfield closer, at least on the scoreboard as they fell 27-20 in their home opener.

The teams appear even matched with their offensive attacks.

The Rams, behind Sam Snyder, are throwing the ball at an average of 193 yards per game while adding 138 rushing yards.

Central is a run-first offense and do so at an average of 149.3 yards per game while adding a little over a 100 yards through the air. The Dragons are led by Jarron Knisely, who averages 96-7 yards rushing per game. Penns Valley has scored 31.5 points per game while Central has scored an average of 28.3 points per game through the first three games of the season.

Little Lions Can’t Hold on Against Crusaders

By Gazette Sports Department

Father Judge Crusaders quarterback Rob Daniels first pass of the night went for a 21-yard touchdown; unfortunately, it went the other way as State College linebacker Brian Laskowski snagged the ball and took it in for the score giving the Little Lions an early 7-0 lead. The Crusaders would bounce back late in the first half though, and control the second half, as they knocked off the Little Lions 34-24.

On a night when the Little Lions got some inspired play from senior fullback/linebacker Jack Haffner, State College couldn’t hold onto the early momentum that they had built up by capitalizing on several Father Judge miscues. Haffner rushed for 129 yards and scored two touchdowns, in addition to picking of another Daniels pass to setup his own one-yard plunge in the second quarter.

Leading 21-7 late in the first half, the Crusaders took possession at their own 33 yard line, and went 67 yards on seven plays, with Matt Smalley scoring from four yards out to make the game a one score contest. In the third quarter, the Philadelphia Catholic League powerhouse came out swinging, with Smalley scoring from five yards out, and Daniels connecting with John Landis from 46 yards out to give the Crusaders 28-21 lead. In the fourth, the Little Lions got a Josh Clothiaux 38-yard field goal to cut the lead to four, but Daniels would put the final nail in the coffin with a one yard scamper with just over one minute remaining in regulation.

The Crusaders were led by running back Ramon Quinones 118 yards rushing to go along with Smalley’s 52 for a lethal one-two punch.

State College (0-2) will face 3-0 Cumberland Valley Friday September 23 at Memorial Field.

Little Lions Face State Ranked Cumberland Valley

By Gazette Sports Department

The State College Little Lions will be searching for their first win of the season at home this week as they take on the fourth ranked Cumberland Valley Eagles. For the Little Lions, a win against a state ranked opponent would go a long way, as the meat of the Mid-Penn schedule is on tap in the coming weeks for State College.

The Eagles boast a stout rushing attack, averaging a little over 200 yards per game. They currently have three rushers with over 100 yards rushing on the season, while quarterback Ben Fernback has four rushing touchdowns on the season to go along with his 223 yards passing and two passing touchdowns. Tyler Hartzel leads a defense that has only given up 12 points on the season. His two sacks lead the team.

For the Little Lions, it will be critical for them to get on the board early. Last week, State College had a 14 point lead late in the first half, only to have it slip away in the second half. Josh Weakland is coming off of a sub-par performance against Father Judge, and will need to lead a more efficient in the passing attack for the Little Lions to get in the win column.

Kickoff is slated for 7pm at Memorial Field in State College.

Steelers Hit Primetime

Eagles Face G-Men in Home Opener

By Matt Masullo

Results from State College Elks Charity Golf Tournament

By Matt Masullo

The Pittsburgh Steelers will head to Indianapolis on Sunday night to take on Kerry Collins and the Colts. I didn’t stutter, I did say Kerry Collins. Peyton Manning has yet to play a down this season, and the likelihood of that happening is very slim if you read all of the injury reports that are out there. Collins hasn’t fared well as of late, struggling to find a rhythm with his receivers and get up to speed with the Colts complex offense.

The Steelers, however, appeared to be clicking last week against the Seahawks. With the exception of their offensive line play, the Steelers looked to be back to their old selves last weekend, no pun intended. Ben Roethlisberger left the game for a few snaps after a questionable hit to his knee, but returned to lead his team for a score and finished the day tossing for nearly 300 yards.

Sunday night’s game looked like an intriguing early season matchup when the schedules were released last spring, but the absence of Manning may leave fans wanting more.

The Colts went from one of the upper echelon teams in the league to a bottom feeder with the injury to the face of their franchise. People that complain about Commissioner Roger Goodell’s rules on protecting quarterbacks need to look no further than former Penn State coach Jim Caldwell’s team.

When Manning went down, they found themselves scrambling to find a signal caller because of the lack of confidence in the quarterbacks on their roster. They even talked about placing a call to the “F” word this offseason when Manning went down. By the “F” word, I mean Favre.

Sunday night’s meeting will be another opportunity for the Steelers to get on track versus a struggling Colt team.

Should the Steelers come out and lay an egg against the winless Colts, Coach Mike Tomlin may only be in his weekly press conference for five minutes, as he and his staff search for answers.

Tune into NBC Sunday night at 8:20 to see Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth call the game. Odds are Collinsworth will have nothing good to say about the Steelers, and why should he? He was a member of the Cincinnati Bengals during his playing days.

With Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson banged up, the Eagles may have a tall task in hosting the New York Football Giants on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. Vick was concussed after he was thrown into an offensive lineman and Jackson injured his wrist in a heartbreaking loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night. Neither has been ruled out for Sunday as of press time, but both could be game time decisions. For the Eagles to keep pace with the Washington Redskins (yes, I just said that), they will need to knock off their NFC East rival Giants.

For the Giants, they are coming off of a sloppy victory against the St. Louis Rams on Monday night. They have had their share of the injury bug as well this season, with a handful of their defensive backs lost for a significant amount of time. Eli Manning’s top target, Hakeem Nicks is also banged up, but he has played through the first two games of the season with some nagging aches and pains. Couple that with several Giant defenders faking injuries to slow down the Rams hurry-up offense, and the Giants could be in trouble this week.

Coming off of a career game where he hauled in 13 pass for 171 yards and two touchdowns, Jeremy Maclin appears to be back at full strength after a scary offseason where he found himself at several different doctors’ offices who were trying to evaluate what was ailing him. Maclin and Jackson are two of the most explosive receivers in football when healthy, and can stretch a defense like no one else in the league. Throw in LeSean McCoy’s big play ability and the Eagles field an offensive team that most fantasy football owners would drool over.

The game boils down to who lines up under center for the Birds. If it is Michael Vick, you know what you are getting; a phenomenal athlete who can beat you with his legs or his arm. Should Mike Kafka get the start for the Eagles, the Giants don’t have much game film on him to prepare, so he could catch them off guard. For the record, he is NOT owned in 99% of fantasy leagues across the country.

The game will be televised by Fox at 1pm on Sunday.

Stewart Takes Round 1 of the Chase

By Matt Masullo

Like he has done at least one time in each of the previous 12 seasons, Tony Stewart captured the checkered flag Monday in the rain delayed Geico 400. The win came in the first race in the Chase for the Cup playoff, and puts Stewart right in the thick of things. Next week, the Sprint Cup Series heads to New Hampshire, where Stewart and teammate Ryan Newman finished 1-2 in July with Newman winning. Things appear to be looking up for the pessimistic Stewart, who ruled himself out as a contender for the race after the playoff field

was set last week.

Kevin Harvick was runner-up to Stewart, with Dale Earnhart Jr, Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski rounding out the top five. With the win, Stewart pulled to within seven points of Cup leader Harvick.

Heading into this weekend, the top five in points are only separated by 13 points.

Conference play heats up in the Mountain League

The Mountain League moved into the thick of conference play this week as teams’ battle for conference supremacy. Although it is early it appears that Philipsburg Osceola will challenge Central Mountain for the Allegheny Division crown and the Nittany Division is a three-team race between Juniata, Bald Eagle, and Bellefonte.

Penns Valley and their youthful Rams appear to be a year away from challenging for the top spot in the division.

Penns Valley started the week jumping out to a 1-0 lead over Bellefonte at the 7:07 mark as Jake Lundy tucked a shot behind the Bellefonte keeper for the Rams first lead of the season. In the 22nd minute Jordan Newman got the equalizer for Bellefonte and nine minutes later Newman assisted on the Red Raiders go ahead goal to stake Bellefonte to a 2-1 halftime lead. In the second half both teams battled back and forth and Bellefonte held off a barrage of Penns Valley shots to grab the Mountain League victory. The Rams out shot the Red Raiders 26-14. Both Scott Case and Scott Martz were impressed with their team’s efforts and they both commented that the game was a classic soccer match that could have gone either way. On

Saturday the Rams traveled to Juniata with four starters sidelined with injuries and Juniata delivered a dominant performance in blanking the Rams 5-0.

Penns Valley wrapped up their sequence of three straight conference tilts with an away game in Wingate against Bald Eagle. The two rivals battled to a scoreless tie at the half but seven minutes into the second half Dan Styles received a beautiful through ball and buried it in the net beating a leaping Frankie Randazzo for the go ahead goal and a 1-0 lead. Minutes later Styles slashed through the Penns Valley defense and beat Randazzo again for a 2-0 lead and the Eagles finished the scoring in the 80th minute to grab a 3-0 win against the boys from Spring Mills. Bald Eagle out shot the Rams 23-2 as the Rams weathered an intense attacking Bald Eagle team in the second half. Coach Jason Bair was pleased with his teams’ effort and is thrilled that his team continues to improve every week. Penns Valley Coach Scott Case noted that he had eight freshmen and sophomore’s on the field at the end of the game and the future is bright for his team.

Marion Walker Little League Accepting Nominations Nominations are now being accepted for all board positions for Marion Walker Little League. Interested persons should contact Jay Mathieu before September 30, 2011.

STATE COLLEGE – When Viktor White began shooting Olympic air rifle with Tussey Mountain 4-H Rifle Club, he never imagined that two years later he’d be wearing a shooting jacket with the letters U.S.A. on the back. White has been invited to compete with the US team at the 2011 International Paralympic Committee Shooting World Cup. The event will be held in October at Fort Benning, GA.

White, who has cerebral palsy and shoots from a wheelchair, will be competing with the US contingent against shooters from more than 20 nations. While not currently seeded to qualify for the 2012 London games, his goal at the World Cup is clear – to shoot a personal best in both the offhand and prone events, and hopefully achieve an MQS, or Minimum Qualifying Score, for the United States, which would allow Team U.S.A. to be allocated more competition slots in London.

“For now, that’s the best way I can help our team. It definitely gives me a huge motivation to do my best,” he said.

After competing successfully in NRA sectional and regional matches for his first two seasons, White was chosen to attend a fall training camp at the Olympic Shooting Center in Colorado Springs.

His next stop was the 2011 USA Shooting National Championships in July, where he made it to the final rounds in the Paralympic division. Shortly afterwards he received his invitation to compete for the United States in the World Cup.

“It’s a huge honor to be representing my country. It was always my dream to compete internationally; I just never thought I’d be getting the chance to do it this soon.” Shooters typically train for seven to 10 years before competing at the international level. White, a senior in high school, has gotten off to a quick start, but he knows there is still plenty of hard work ahead of him.

“It’s a long haul to get to the Paralympics. There’s a lot of stiff competition out there. The World Cup will be an awesome opportunity to get experience shooting at the Olympic level,” Viktor said.

He plans to add small-bore rifle to his competition schedule next year, and hopes to eventually qualify for the US National Team. “I really enjoy shooting. I’ve met some great people in this sport, and I hope to continue competing for a long time,” he said.

When he’s not on the practice range, White can often be found at the State College YMCA, where he swims and works out regularly in the gym. He is also active with Boy Scout Troop 32 in State College, and Squadron 338 of the Civil Air Patrol, PA 5th Wing.

Heavy rains in September forced the cancellation of two of the Penn Cup Slaloms, the Little Lehigh (they had eight feet of water higher than usual – 1,000 cubic feet where the usual flow is 50 CFS) and the Fiddlers Elbow Slalom near Hummelstown where they had floods that covered the bridge at the site (on top of the bridge was one house roof plus a big tree) and the Harrisburg club thought it inappropriate to have a slalom there in the face of all that devastation.

So Mach One is stepping up and hosting a slalom at our own Sunnyside Paddling Park this weekend, September 24 and 25. We figure it will be a relatively small crowd so we decided on having two courses, on Saturday afternoon and on Sunday morning.

We’ll have ribbon prizes plus a door prize drawing on Sunday after the race. The drawing will feature equipment items, mostly used but in good condition. The flow on Spring Creek is currently at 275 CFS which makes a pretty easy course.

Some of our own very actively training kids will also not be there; they’ll be competing at the Dickerson, MD slalom this weekend. That opens the door for more places than usual.

We’ll have two-year youth classes, etc. so everyone could end up with a prize and a place.

I encourage kids and adults who haven’t joined us to enter this event. Entry fees are only $5 per class on Saturday and another $5 per class on Sunday. Those who are not USACK members will need to either become members (all our Mach One active members need to be active USACK members) or pay an event fee of $5. There is a $5 discount for donating one or more door prizes.

Our fleet of boats with corresponding paddles, etc. is available for free use for this event.

What can be said about Cirque du Soleil that has not already been said? They are really shows that make you aware that you have been holding your breath as the performers execute amazing feats on the ground and in the air. Cirque du Soleil: Quidam at the Bryce Jordan Centre is a great example of the art of the European circus, no animals, but human bodies doing what looks like the impossible.

The music, the costumes, and the stage itself add to the magic. From the moment that the figure without a head and carrying a large umbrella enters, it is apparent that something different is going to happen.

The story is very loosely that of a lonely, young girl who is taken into a world of imagination, hope, and fun. In that

world she finds high-flying acrobats, impossible physical feats, beautiful balancing acts of strength, clowns, and a touch of the burlesque.

I found that I had stopped breathing during several of the aerial acts. My comfort level with heights is nonexistent and so I am very impressed with people who can perform gymnastic tricks overhead. One of the first acts was titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aerial Hoopsâ&#x20AC;? and it was truly â&#x20AC;&#x153;ballet in the sky.â&#x20AC;? The costumes and the grace of the three people were beautiful.

The other extreme was a vaudevillian act involving a lot of audience participation. Four members of the audience were â&#x20AC;&#x153;directedâ&#x20AC;? through the filming of a silent movie. As they were asked to act out parts that became more and more outrageous, they became more and more comfortable and the results were very funny. This act must change with each show and must be fun for all involved.

Cirque du Soleil is a mind-boggling event. What really is impressive is that most of the acts take place on a revolving stage. I can not imagine trying to do a balancing or juggling act â&#x20AC;&#x201C; let alone jump rope â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on a stage that is not still.

If you missed this one, hope that Brice Jordon does it again. By the way, there was not a bad seat in the house. It is directed for the entire audience.

The British are Coming! The British are Coming!

By Don Bedell

Wednesday night (9/28) will be a very special night at the State Theatre. Legendary British band, The Zombies,are currently on their 50th Anniversary Tour. The tour once again reunites original members Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent and will make a stop in State College.

The Zombies formed in 1961 led by Argent on piano and Blunstone on vocals. They scored three Top Ten hits in the U.S. with She’s Not There and Tell Her No in 1964, and Time Of The Season in 1969. Ironically, the band had broken up in 1968 prior to Time Of The Season hitting the U.S. charts.

Their reunion tour has been embraced by audiences and features new material and a repertoire

that draws heavily upon the Zombies catalog and solo hits.

Special guests for this show will be the Acoustic Strawbs.

The show starts at 8 p.m. on Wednesday night at The State Theatre, Downtown State College.

Tickets were still available at the time of the writing of this article.

The Strawbs formed in England in 1964 as the “Strawberry Hill Boys” playing bluegrass guitar tunings and Rick playing piano. But, Rick...said ‘What are those chords?’ And I played music.

November 11: L’Illusioniste (The Illusionist)

by Sylvain Chomet – As the follow-up to 2003’s The Triplets of Belleville, the animated film is set in the early 1960s and focuses on a middle-aged, slightly stoop-shouldered magician who makes a devoted teenage friend, Alice, a poor cleaning girl who follows him to Edinburgh. The two form a touching father-daughter bond. Though neither the magician nor his young charge speak each other’s language, The Illusionist shows the ways people understand each other nonverbally.

The State Theatre The State Theatre presents The Zombies, with special guests, The Strawbs at 8 p.m.

Wednesday, September 28. Tickets are $48 Gold Circle, $42 Orchestra, $36 Balcony.

Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone have reunited after three decades under the name of their former group, The Zombies. Their much anticipated reunion will showcase new material and a stage repertoire that draws upon their catalogue of Zombies and solo hits. Special guests, The Strawbs, also formed in the 1960s and quickly made a name for themselves in the English Folk scene. By the early ’70s, 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.

Acoustic Brew Hosts Old-Time Musician Frank Fairfield Article and photo by Karen Dabney

Hailing from California, Frank Fairfield brought his unique style of solo old-time music to Lemont on Saturday, September 17 as the first event in this season’s Acoustic Brew Concert Series. He played to a packed hall of enthusiastic folk music lovers in the Center for Well-Being, 123 Mount Nittany Road.

Frank Fairfield’s rough and rustic playing style and high, reedy voice would be right at home on a Smithsonian Folkways album. He plays a battered-looking guitar, fiddle, and banjo that look like survivors of times past. He says he picked them for their character. In appearance, Fairfield, who is in his 20s, also reminds one of the past, with his parted and slicked-down hair, mustache, high waist pants, button-down shirt, and conservatively styled suit coat.

An ardent collector of old 78 rpm vinyl albums, Fairfield plays traditional American old-time, blues, and Eastern European dance tunes, along with songs he wrote. He performed as a street musician in Los Angeles, and was the opening act for the 2009 Fleet Foxes tour. Fairfield recorded a self-titled solo album of traditional songs for Tompkins Square Records, and an album of music from around the world selected from his 78s collection. In his latest release, Out on the Open West, Fairfield performed his own compositions, accompanied by Willie Watson of Old Crow Medicine Show and other guest musicians. In addition to CDs and MP3s, his albums are available on vinyl.

The intimate size and excellent acoustics of the concert hall suited Fairfield’s style.

His rough-edged voice rose in volume then softened until the audience leaned forward to hear the stories he sang. Many of his songs addressed the harsh side of life: booze addiction, murder, stealing, death, and heartbreak.

When he introduced Railroad Bill, he said, “We feel the same things when we sing sad songs of murder and death, songs we sing about bad men and rascals. Sometimes we want to root for the bad guys.”

He played some “out of favor” old-time jigs, mazurkas, and polkas, inspired by the diverse settlers in his home state of Texas, and also played the Boll Weevil, a song he likened to a rascal song. “You can’t do anything about it no matter what you throw at it. This little bug’s gonna get you.”

He rested the fiddle on his left forearm to play it, rather than on his shoulder. When asked why, he said, “It just gradually drifted down. It felt confining up there.”

His passionate style of playing seemed

intentionally rough and unrefined, emphasizing percussive effects and the whims of the artist. He played his instruments with gusto, sawing the bow across the fiddle until the catgut flew, and tapping or stomping his foot as a rhythmic accompaniment. While strumming or bowing, he plucked the strings, adding loud, percussive notes to his music.

Twelve year old Helen Karp of Millheim sat right in front of the stage. “It was amazing!” she said. “I’m a fiddle player – it was like a deep passion to be close to that playing, and see it and learn from it....His fingers were just blurs. Especially on the banjo, his fingers were just flying!”

“It was spectacular!” said her mother, Joan Karp. “The mazurka (Polish dance music) he played I could have listened to all night. I only regret that we didn’t get up and dance....That’s what’s great about this little venue. You get to be there, so close.”

The audience gave Fairfield a standing ovation.

The Acoustic Brew is a non-profit, volunteer-run concert series of folk and acoustic music performances. Upcoming shows at the Center for Well-Being include bluegrass band Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen on October 22, singer-songwriter Mary Gauthier on November 5, and folk musicians Doug and Telisha Williams on November 19. The Acoustic Brew is working to finalize a December 7 concert with songwriter and instrumentalist Darrell Scott at WPSU Studios in the Outreach Building in Innovation Park. Shows begin at 7:30 p.m., and ticket prices range from $16 to $19. Students with IDs receive a $2 discount.

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 Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come and Dine.â&#x20AC;? John 21:12.

Come ye who hunger and thirst. Isaiah 55:1. Today is still the day of SALVATION! Jesus said to â&#x20AC;&#x153;watch and pray.â&#x20AC;? 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.
