Editor’s Prologue

Letters To The Editor

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

Jag Owners’ Identity

There were many small victories to celebrate in Happy Valley this past week.

Tiffany Woodall reported the Down Syndrome Buddy Walk, where $38,000 was raised for Down syndrome. Sam Stitzer attended a presentation at the Old Fort American Legion where an astounding $24,000 was donated to Penns Valley HOPE and EMT funds. A loyal friend of State College, Bill Welch, was memorialized by the dedication of Mayor Welch Plaza in front of the municipal building. Years of planning and grants came to fruition with the opening of a new trail through Spring Creek Canyon – a recreational treasure for all to enjoy. Residents of Aaronsburg opened their doors, and their hearts, to visitors to their Dutch Fall Festival, featuring yard sales and fabulous fresh-baked goodies, including the historical museum’s famous apple dumplings. (There are still 700 left, on sale tomorrow – Saturday, October 8, from 10 a.m. ’til noon.)

All these events took place outdoors in the midst of drizzles, downpours, sprinkles, and gully washers. Nothing deters our neighbors from their appointed good deeds!

Karen offers Part Two of her genealogy series in this issue, focusing on the PA Room at the Centre County Historical Museum in Bellefonte – a treasure trove of family history, events, and timelines. Karen also introduces us to a local artist who creates stunning paintings of the real and surreal – in vivid color and startling clarity.

With a little help from my friends, literally, The Gazette is proud to present 11 Exceptional Men of 2011, plus three more who were nominated and deserved recognition. Thanks, Brian Bassett, Tammy Miller, and Sam Stitzer for helping me track down and chronicle the deeds of these humble, big-hearted neighbors. They care for abandoned pets, raise money for the hungry, volunteer for hurricane relief, inspire parishioners, host exchange students, coach kids’ teams, and comfort victims of crime.

We will continue to feature more exceptional Centre County citizens in The Gazette, lauding them as Hometown Heroes and in other ways.

When times are tough, and they are, we turn first to one another. Neighbor helping neighbor. Independent, interdependent – giving simply because we care.

That’s the American way.

Next week, it’s our Pink Ribbon issue, with fundraisers, medical news, charities, events, and inspiration for those with breast cancer and those who love them.

In the article about the 11th Annual Milesburg Apple Harvest Festival and Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Show, there was mention of a spectacular 1963 Jaguar (also featured on our front cover). Here’s what Dave Bagley, the owner wrote, us: “The story in this week’s Centre County Gazette about the 1963 JAG owned by Dave and Barb Bosley of Milesburg – the last name is Bagley. If it cannot be corrected, no big deal. Thank you for all of the coverage you folks do.” – Dave Bagley Well, Dave and Barb, it is a big deal to us! Thank you for reading The Gazette and for preserving a very fine bit of hot-rod history.

“One was a 1963 Jaguar XKE roadster owned

by Dave and Barb Bagley. This rare, black beauty featured Jag’s dual overhead cam, six-cylinder engine with triple carburetors, the “flipnose” front end, and a tan leather interior. The XKE, with its long nose and sweeping curves is considered to be one of the most beautiful cars ever made, and its design was way ahead of its time in the 1960s.”

Centre Count y Schools Penns Valley Students Invited to Compete

The Penns Valley Conservation Association invites the public to its Renewable Energy and Conservation Fair on October 22. The Penns Valley Area School District will host the fair in the Penns Valley Area High School cafeteria from noon to 4 p.m.

The fair will start at noon with the presentation of the school district-wide renewable energy and conservation art exhibition winners. Prizes will be awarded for each of four grade divisions: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12 and the entries will be on display.

Any media, two or three-dimensional art entries are now being solicited by Kathleen Galligan, Environmental Educator in the Penns Valley School District. The exhibition is open to all students in the Penns Valley area. Contact Kathleen Galligan by e-mail: kgalligan@pennsvalley.org for details.

The entries will showcase the artists’ perceptions of renewable energy – its forms, its values, and its social qualities.

Meet the Penns Valley Stock Market Game Team

Recently, Allan Darr, ProAct, LTD’s President and CEO and Brian Griffith, Penns Valley School District Superintendent, met with the students who are participating in the Centre County Gazette Stock Market Game Challenge from EconomicsPennsylvania.

The students playing in this special competition are 12th grade students Austin Auman and Derek Dashem and 11th grade student, Scott Johnson. Each of these young men expects to major in business in college and currently play football for Penns Valley.

Teacher, Mrs. Jane Brooker, shared, “The Stock Market Game will help these students in their pursuit of business, and two of the students played the game previously in the Gifted Program under the leadership of Penns Valley teacher, Eric Weaver. This The Penns Valley team joins their superintendent is my 10th and a game sponsor in this picture, L to R: Brian year at PVHS Griffith, Superintendent of Penns Valley School District; Austin Auman, Scott Johnson and Derek and 15th year Dashem - Penns Valley High School students; and overall teaching. sponsor Allan Darr, president and CEO of ProAct LTD The SMG is an amazing experience for students. A few of my students are now trading on the stock market and doing well.”

Mrs. Brooker has an MBA in Business from University of Findlay and the students are part of her Introduction to Business Class.

Mr. Brian Griffith shared, “Penns Valley is one the highest-performing school districts in the state, when measured against student achievement. We have been recognized as one top 50 most improved school districts. In addition, one of our school buildings has been recognized as one of the top 25 performers for three consecutive years. Our district once again made AYP in all schools, subgroups and grade spans.” The AYP is Adequate Yearly Progress on the PSSA testing required for all PA students.

Mr. Allan Darr is the president and CEO of ProAct, LTD and his company develops and manufacturers unique medical devices for very specific procedures to improve successful outcomes. Their minimally invasive surgery products are distributed by large medical device companies globally. ProAct celebrates its 22nd year in this field.

The Gazette along with four local businesses joined to support five local schools in sponsorship of the Centre County Gazette Stock Market Game Challenge from EconomicsPennsylvania. One team of three to five high school students will represent each school in local competition. They are Bald Eagle, Bellefonte, Penns Valley, and State College High Schools, along with Central Pennsylvania Institute for Science and Technology (CPI).

Each team is given $100,000 in hypothetical money and invests in the stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. The team with the most money at the end wins. The top three teams will be listed in the newspaper each week during the game, which begins on October 19 and will finish on December 16.

A recognition event will be held at CPI on December 20.

This program is being provided by the Gazette and local businesses, Fulton Bank, ProAct LTD, Lion Country KIA, and Videon Central, Inc.

Tom Mertz, President of Lion Country KIA added, “What a great learning experience.”

going LOCAL! an Adventure Eaters Guide

By Ken Hull

Greetings, Even though I have a second book now with 64 new places for you to explore and enjoy, sometimes it’s nice to revisit a place from the original book. Since this place has moved locations, taken on a new partner, put on a whole new look and vibe, and sports a new and improved menu, it just seemed like a great idea anyhow.

It’s a wellknown fact that I’m a “self-proclaimed beer snob.” I wasn’t always that way as you can read in my first book, but with age comes wisdom, and wisdom will always order a small-batch craft brewed beer over a big-batch crap-brewed beer anytime (yeah, I wrote crap not craft). And now that we’re living in an age of amazingly well crafted and awesome tasting beers, why drink anything else. Not only that, but when you’re fortunate enough to have those types of beers brewed right here in Happy Valley, well, wisdom not only prevails, but moves to town!

Actually since book one, there are now three breweries/ brewpubs here with a fourth looking to join. As if life weren’t sweet enough in central PA. But as stated, I’m going to revisit one of my originals, and the patriarch – the one that started it all – Otto’s Pub & Brewery.

Otto’s is a fantastic place. Yeah, I try and divide my time between there, Elk Creek Café + Aleworks, and The Brewery at The Gamble Mill, but I have to admit, Otto’s is my first love.

And now that they’ve transformed themselves from awesome to awesomer, I thought I’d let you know with an update.

This past year, Otto’s moved into their new digs in the old Quaker Steak & Lube place just a stones-throw from the old location on North Atherton Street. Here Charlie Schnable, head brewer and co-owner, can expand his palette of brewing

Well, that’s the way it goes when you’re not restricted by corporate rules; independent business owners and creative spirits can seek to bring you their best. At Otto’s Pub & Brewery, that is the main ingredient to a feast of drinking and eating goodness. Stop in, you’ll see and taste what I mean.

arts, his culinary cohorts can refine their menu offerings, live music can be enjoyed again, brewing memorabilia can be displayed, a new partner can take the place to new and exciting heights. Also more customers can be seated, and said customers have lots more places to park!

As in book one, I refer to Charlie as much an artist as I do a genius scientist – a savant if you will. No one can bring such common ingredients together with such uncommon results.

Brewing beer is pretty basic, but brewing like this is complex and requires creativity and a command of the process. Don’t believe me? Stop in at his place and order the Beer Sampler and you’ll find out just how different beers can be. And, in the hands of a master, simple and pure ingredients can become a work of art flowing from a glass.

The new Otto’s has also sought to be creative with their menu by using more and more locally sourced ingredients as well as adding a really cool pizza oven. The cuisine is American Bistro and caters to the discerning adult palate as well as the even more discerning (fussy) kid’s palate.

Because of the much larger building, things that were wanted, or needed at the old place can happen here. Live music now graces the pub and local performers, like my friend Scott Mangene, can sing and play in one section while in others, folks can sit and chat with just the din of conversation in the background.

Pennsylvania has a rich history of brewing beer. At one time there were hundreds of independent breweries throughout the commonwealth. Otto’s takes much pride in featuring memorabilia from some of these breweries. Ads, beer trays, logos, etc, have been painstakingly reproduced in large format images and are hanging from the ceiling. It’s really fun to walk around and see all the different ones – and they’re even different from front to back. Glass cases house valuable pieces, with one case displaying a very rare ceramic beer service.

A confession here, the aforementioned improvements (beer excluded) were not Charlie’s doing – he’s an artist – he’s most happy in his “studio” making beer. The “new” Otto’s is the result of Charlie’s new partner (who also happens to be his father-in-law) Roger Garthwaite. Roger is actually very creative too when it comes to marketing and business savvy, and has taken Otto’s to the place it is now and most likely will

If you only know Steve Martin from the late 1970s as that “wild and crazy” guy, you are missing much of his talent.

Martin started his professional career as a writer for television shows, most notably The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, and is now an award-winning author of magazine articles, movie scripts, and best-selling books. Born Standing Up—a comic’s life

tells of his early days in comedy, how it started and how and why it ended.

By 1978, Steve Martin was the biggest concert draw in stand-up history. In 1981, he stopped doing stand-up completely.

In Born Standing Up, Martin tells of starting his career at age 10 selling guidebooks at Disneyland, the newly opened theme park. His fascination with magic grew when he worked at the Disney Magic Shop and he gives credit to the pros who taught him the secrets of performing magic.

From there he went to the Bird Cage Theatre at Knott’s Berry Farm where he performed his magic/ comedy act a dozen times a week. Working there he honed his act with a dedication to excellence. This early training has lasted him throughout his career.

The work, sacrifice, discipline, and originality paid off and as his fame grew, the isolation and loneliness also grew. The traveling took its toll on his relationships with his family and friends until he finally decided, at the top of his fame, to stop.

Martin tells his story in an almost selfdeprecating way. Rarely do we get a look into his deepest emotions and for some reason that seems to work. The book never becomes a tell-all gossipy account of the people around him. It does take us backstage to learn more about the heavy irreverence of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and the new voice that was Saturday Night Live.

As a result, not only do we get a glimpse of the rise of one of the most inventive of comics, but a glimpse into the time of free love and protests against the war in Vietnam – and all told by a talented author.

The membership campaign will feature member testimonials – their reasons for being members.

The page also has a means for members to submit names of prospective members, who will then be contacted by CBICC staff.

Boalsburg Weekend Celebrates Beginnings But Without 1776 Captain David Boal BOALSBURG – Nobody throws a birthday party quite like Boalsburg. The historic Pennsylvania village will celebrate the heritage not only of its own birthday of October 1808 but also of the beginning of America itself in October 1492, thanks to Boalsburg’s unique-in-the-nation connection with Christopher Columbus in the Columbus Chapel at the Boal Mansion Museum.

Boalsburg’s big weekend October 8 - 10 will feature an elegant champagne ball Saturday at the Boal Mansion, and a colorful afternoon festival Sunday in the village with free wagon tours of the historic village, music by local music masters John “JT Blues” Thompson, traditionalist Bruce Young, harmonica expert Richard Sleigh, and rocker Chris Lee; food, crafts and even a BMX bike stunt show for the youngsters. The weekend concludes on Monday morning with the traditional invitation-only religious service in the internationally-renowned Columbus Chapel.

Boalsburg’s Columbus Chapel was inherited and imported to Boalsburg in 1909 by descendants of the famous explorer in the Boal family. The centuries-old Spanish chapel contains fine art, the Admiral’s Desk of Christopher Columbus, and two pieces of the True Cross of Jesus. It is America’s strongest connection with Christopher Columbus whose world-cha nging voyage of discovery opened the door from the Old World to the New World in October 1492.

The public is The Sunday festival in Boalsburg will include the Dialed Action Sports Team BMX Stunt Show, invited to share shown here performing before Amish children last in the festivities, Memorial Day at the Boal Mansion in Boalsburg. which will include

historical re-enactors bringing the heritage to life at both Saturday’s and Sunday’s events.

But one person has been booted from the event – Revolutionary War Captain David Boal.

Once thought to be the first generation of the Boal family of Boalsburg, recent research from primary sources has pruned him from the Boal family tree.

Even though he did exist, he is no longer associated with Boalsburg’s history.

Fortunately, there was Christopher Columbus (Bruce Young) and another David Boal, also a the pioneer David Boal (his descendant, pioneer, the one who built Alan Boal of Pittsburgh) will speak at a the 1804 tavern around fancy ball Saturday and a colorful festival Sunday on the Boalsburg Heritage which the village of BoalsBirthday Weekend of October 8-10. burg was established in 1809, and whose seven generations of descendants have had a hand in shaping today’s community. His descendants include a founder of Penn State University and of the nearby 28th division Shrine, site of the Boal Troop of World War I fame.

Seventh-generation Boal family member, Boal Mansion Museum CEO Christopher Lee, will oversee the events. He is a founder of the heritage movement in Boalsburg which has rescued the village from its neglected status in the 1960s to its national renown as a top example of a typical Pennsylvania village with a unique identity as the birthplace of Memorial Day and the home of the Columbus Chapel.

The Columbus Ball takes place at the Boal Mansion at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 8, and features contra-dancing to the Bruce Young band, portrait photography by Eric Smith, champagne and fine food from over a dozen Centre Region restaurants. Tickets are $100 and are available by contacting office@boalmuseum.com or calling (814) 466-9266.

The Boalsburg Birthday Heritage Festival is all free,

including the wagon rides, and takes place in the Boalsburg square at Church and Main Streets on Sunday, October 9, from noon to 4 p.m. The Monday religious service is by invitation due to space constraints of the historic Columbus Chapel.

For details, visit http://boalmuseum.com or contact (814) 466-9266, office@boalmuseum.com or the Facebook.com page: Columbus Chapel and Boal Mansion Museum.

Local music masters performing at the Boalsburg Heritage Birthday Festival include the award-winning bluesman John “JT Blues” Thompson (shown here), blues harmonica expert Richard Sleigh, traditional music and folklorist Bruce Young, and rocker Chris Lee, president of the Central PA Musicians Association.

Guests at the Boalsburg Heritage Birthday Festival on October 9 enjoy a free guided wagon ride through the historic Boalsburg village and down to the Boal Mansion and Columbus Chapel to celebrate Boalsburg’s and America’s beginnings.

Energy cost and availability is critical to homes, businesses and communities. This multi-faceted fair will give the public a comprehensive look at the latest renewable energy and energy conservation technology in one afternoon. Vendors of solar, geothermal, biomass and energy conservation products will demonstrate their products. Financial institutions will promote financial incentives to own renewable energy.

The Fair will start at noon with the presentation of the school district-wide renewable energy and conservation art exhibition winners.

Attendees will see working renewable energy facilities.

Bus tours will leave the cafeteria at 12:45 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. and return to the fair. Bus stops are: the new Penns Valley Area School District’s biomass-fired heating plant, a longstanding solar photovoltaic array, and a combination solar photo and thermal array. Owners of these facilities will be available to answer questions.

At 2 p.m., Frank Migneco, Senior Energy Analyst, of SEDA Council of Governments, will give a keynote discussion on the latest renewable-energy technologies and incentives. SEDA COG’s Energy Resource Center provides a region-wide resource for renewable energy implementation.

The Penns Valley Conservation Association and Penns Valley Learning Garden will describe and demonstrate how clean, abundant water and locally produced food conserve energy and foster business success.

The association’s mission is to serve “as a steward for the natural and cultural communities in the Upper Penns Creek watershed.” They seek to preserve and honor the agricultural roots of Penns Valley by protecting and conserving its waters, farmlands, forests, and rural heritage. They are organizing this event in order to help area residents understand the power of renewable energy.

Wet Weather Can’t Stop the Dutch Fall Festival Apple Dumplings Left – Come & Get ‘Em Oct. 8!

Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

AARONSBURG – The folks of Aaronsburg celebrated the Haines Township Dutch Fall Festival on October 1 and 2.

This event, a combination of craft fair, folk festival, and yard sales, went on in spite of the cold, rainy weather on both days.

Vendors lined the sidewalks along Route 45 with booths filled with a wide variety of hand-crafted items and food products.

On the festival grounds, many food stands were serving up homemade soup, baked goods, fresh cider, and homemade bread, fresh from the ovens on the grounds.

In a garage on West Street, behind the Penns Valley Area Historical Museum, the museum board members were selling their famous apple dumplings. Board members and volunteers had gathered weeks before the festival to make 1,500 dumplings, which were stored in freezers till Saturday. Sales were slow in the bad weather, so the board will have a leftover dumpling sale on Saturday, October 8, from 10 a.m. till noon to sell the nearly 700 remaining dumplings.

Live music was featured throughout the festival. Jazz trombonist, Jay Vonada was belting out jazzy interpretations on Saturday morning to an appreciative crowd. Jay is a Penns Valley High School alumnus from Aaronsburg. The Penns Valley Men’s Chorus performed on Sunday.

The streets, alleys, and yards of Aaronsburg were the scene of many yard sales during the festival. This attracted bargain hunters, with items of all descriptions being offered for sale at bargain prices.

In the vendor area, I spoke to Keith and Beth Hackenberg, and Stacey Martin, from Mifflinburg, who are the proprietors of a store called Totally Nuts. Their shop sells German roasted peanuts, cashews, pecans, and almonds covered with a tasty sugar-and-spice coating. Stacey and the Hackenbergs are from Mifflinburg, and have taken their booth to 190 events in one year! They offered me samples of each kind of nut, and they were delicious!

Farther up the street along Aaron’s Square was Photographer Dennis Keefer, from Muncy. Dennis specializes in photos of rural scenes featuring flowers, streams, Jazz trombonist Jay Vonada played in the old barns, mills, covered bridges, and entertainment tent. other items of rural beauty. His photos were very professionally done, and attractive. Of course, his collection contained a nice photo of the Calvin Neff round barn near Centre Hall.

It dawned on me that the enjoyment of this event was not weatherdependent. It was a celebration of community spirit, of greeting neighbors and old friends, and welcoming visitors to the town. I heard many folks joking about the bad weather (What else can you do about it?), and they’ll probably Beth Hackenberg, Stacey Martin, talk about it for years to come. and Keith Hackenberg sold German The spirit of this event can’t be roasted nuts in their booth. killed by a little rain A customer looked at natural honey and jelly products for sale. and cold, and that’s a good thing.

Spring Creek Canyon Land Dedicated New trail open to the public

Zumbathon for Pets Come First

By Ebun Adewumi

BENNER TOWNSHIP – On the afternoon of Friday, September 30 at 2 p.m., the multi-partnered Spring Creek Canyon Cooperate Management group held a public dedication ceremony of 1,800 acres land recently acquired from the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. The ceremony was held next to the Benner Spring State Fish Hatchery, on Shiloh Road.

Previously part of the Department of Corrections’ Rockview State Correctional Institution, much of the 1,800-acre property had been closed to the public. In 2005, Pennsylvania considered the re-allocation of some land within the State Correctional Facilities at Rockview. In March 2006, 135 acres were transferred to the Centre County Industrial Development Corporation. Other local conservational organizations wanted to protect the land and waters known as Spring Creek Canyon.

To that end, a Benner Township obtained a grant from the Department of Conservation and National Resources.

The Spring Creek Canyon Conservation Strategy was born.

The strategy provided the framework for ecological protection and restoration and cultural preservation with goals of public access, recreation, and conservation education.

On July 9, 2010 Senator Jake Corman, and State Representatives Kerry Benninghoff and Mike Hanna co-sponsored House Bill 1890, known as Act 55, which authorized certain

parcels of land, 1,827 acres total, to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, Pennsylvania State University, and Benner Township.

A 4.4-mile main trail is now open to the public. It will provide access to many previously unseen views of Spring Creek, as well as recreational opportunities such as fishing, hiking, and biking.

See our Facebook page for more photos from the Spring Creek Canyon dedication. (photos by Brian Baney)

National Pit Bull Awareness Day Celebration The people-loving, people-pleasing breed Contributed by Happy Paws Happy Homes

STATE COLLEGE – National Pit Bull Awareness Day will be celebrated in State College, on October 22. The event will showcase the true spirit and wonderful personality of the Pit Bull breeds that have been a beloved symbol of Americana.

The fun-filled afternoon will feature dog ambassadors, games, dog massages, kid-friendly activities, great giveaways, educational materials, and much more! Everyone is invited to attend this free family friendly event from noon to 4 p.m. – to be held at the gazebo in front of the State College PETCO (Colonnade Way off of N. Atherton St.).

Today, the Pit Bull is a beloved animal that is used in a variety of helping functions in society including police dogs, search dogs, therapy dogs, and farm dogs. Unfortunately, many people misunderstand the Pit Bull and fall victim to believing the stereotypes. This event will help the public to understand the true breeds classified as Pit Bulls and what amazing dogs they are.

Pit Bull Awareness Day educates the public on the “real” Pit Bull breeds which are people-loving, people-pleasing breeds of dog. “Pit Bull” is a generic term often used to describe all dogs with similar traits and characteristics. The term “Pit Bull” encompasses American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, and Staffordshire Bull Terriers.

Happy Paws Happy Homes is an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 status non-profit organization, based in Tyrone, that serves as a liaison between rescues, shelters, and the public. We work with and for dogs that need to find their forever homes.

Happy Paws Happy Homes promotes spay/neuter and the adoption option. We offer financial assistance to families who are unable to afford to have their pets spayed or neutered.

There are 45 cats and dogs for every person born.

Only 1 out of 10 dogs born ever get a home.

Only 1 out of 12 cats born ever find a home.

800 dogs & cats are KILLED each HOUR in the U.S., because there are not enough homes for them.

Judge Brad Lunsford

A Life of Public Service

By Sandie Biddle

Judge Lunsford’s nominator said, “I nominate Judge Brad Lunsford as one of the good men of the county – he has brought so much common sense and practical wisdom to the job, I admire him immensely.�

Bradley J. Lunsford was born and raised in Clearfield.

He received a BS in Public Service from Penn State and his Law degree from Duquesne University in 1989, after which, he moved to State College. He’s served as Assistant Public Defender, Assistant Prosecutor, in private practice, and as Centre Region District Court Judge for 10 years. He became a judge in the Centre County Court of Common Pleas in 2005.

He’s a professor at Penn State and also a musician – a drummer for the band AC Express. His professional passions are law and music. “Susan and I also enjoy cooking and traveling and our children are our greatest joy. Ryan (13) and Madison (11) are both budding musicians as well,� he said.

When asked about his accomplishments, he said, “I am especially pleased with our progress on DUI Court. I

am inspired by the participants’ commitment to recovery ‌This program is showing great success in reducing recidivism and saving lives.

“I am also thrilled with the success of the Courthouse Canine program. The idea came to me [while working out] at the Bellefonte YMCA. We were watching CNN and saw a short human interest piece about the success of a similar program in San Diego. With the help of Victim Advocate Faith Burger, we were able to create this program in less than six months. We were the first in Pennsylvania and only the second on the east coast. The program is geared mainly to helping young crime victims navigate the system. The service that Princess offers cannot be measured.�

He’s a member of the State College Elks. Lodge President in 1999, he’s now chair of the Drug Awareness and Youth Activities committees – educating on the dangers of drug and alcohol use while recognizing youth for achievements and good citizenship.

“My current goal is to make sure that any child who wants to play a musical instrument has that opportunity.

The theory is that learning a musical instrument makes kids smarter and is much better than idle time or computer and video games,� he said

The two awards that mean most to Judge Lunsford are the Ron Haring award for service to Leadership Centre County and the National Association for Community Leadership, Distinguished Leadership Award for service to the community.

“The first award I ever received was the State College

Police Department’s O.F. Brown Memorial Award for good citizenship,� he said. “That meant a lot to me as well.�

“I didn’t get into public service for awards and accolades,� he said. “DUI Court came about through a team effort. The canine program was also a team effort. I have been very fortunate throughout the years to have great people around me. I couldn’t do this job without their support, hard work, and expertise.�

His favorite quote is from Alex Haley: “If you see a turtle on top of a fence post, you know he had a lot of help getting there.� “That quote pretty much sums it all up for me,� he said.

Ron Pifer

Years of Mentoring Rewarded

By Brian E. Bassett

Ron Pifer grew up in Bellefonte, graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 1962, and went on to the University of Wisconsin-Superior in 1963 when offered a fellowship while working on his master’s degree, during which he would coach the wrestling team.

“I received a call from Superior-WI and was asked to coach the wrestling team,” Pifer recalled. “Several PA kids were on that team … and all graduated from there.”

The 1963 Yellowjacket team was among the best-ever at UW-Superior. The team’s second-place WSUC finish was behind the only conference champion, River Falls State College, conference-title winners the previous year. Conference play was followed by the NAIA National Meet, where the Yellowjackets placed fifth – the highest finish of any Yellowjacket wrestling team in history.

As an ROTC commissioned officer, Pifer received a deferment and joined the service from 1963 to1966.

He was head-wrestling coach at State College Area H.S. from 1966 until 1976, after which took a head-wrestling coach position at West Point.

“I came back to SCAHS as assistant principal in1980 – mainly so my kids could wrestle in Central PA,” Pifer explained.

Pifer is proud to have been a two-time PA state champ at the 138 to154 pound class; a three-time all-American at PSU; and, of course, of this induction into the Superior College Hall of Fame.

Even more special to him was to watch his own sons wrestle. Scott won a state title, runner up in PA, and qualified for the NCAA event with IA. Jeff was fifth in PA, and in 1986 qualified for the PA State Tournament.

Coach Pifer’s son, Scott, drove him to WI, Saturday, October 1, for the Hall of Fame Induction Banquet.

“Mr. Pifer is loved for his enthusiasm and dedication to young people,” said. Robin Bastress, SCAHS graduate and former colleague. “What a wonderful honor to have him featured in this way … and with a team he coached 48 years ago!”

John is not the only one doing the volunteering. This couple works side by side helping victims of floods and hurricanes. They’ve made seven trips to the Gulf Coast since Katrina and weekly trips to Mechanicsburg to volunteer in the Mission Warehouse. “We still make a trip every couple of weeks with donations of items that we collect from our area,” she said.

Donations anyone?

“All of this, from beginning to end, is done voluntarily and gladly. He is happiest when he is busy helping others,” she concluded.

Thank you John – and Kay – for being such kind and giving people.

Colonel Gerald F. Russell A True Leader in Life

By Brian E. Bassett

Colonel Gerald F. Russell USMC (Ret.) found his way to State College shortly after retiring from the marines in 1967. Ever since relocating in Centre County, he has been an avid area volunteer.

He is known throughout Centre County and state-wide for his involvement with the Pennsylvania Special Olympics, Centre County Toys for Tots, United Way Day of Caring, and myriad other programs that benefit the community.

“In my opinion, Colonel Gerry Russell should be honored for exceptional service for every year he’s lived in the State College area,” stated Greg Johnson, fellow retired marine and member of the Nittany Leathernecks. “He is a community-volunteer leader and as such has motivated many to do things for the community. A typical marine – he leads by example.”

Col. Russell is a distinguished, decorated WWII combat veteran who served at Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. He commanded a combat battalion in Korea, and a regiment at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The Penn State College of Education benefitted from Russell’s efforts and abilities when he served as assistant vice provost.

The Navy League of Central PA, in partnership with the Nittany Leathernecks Detachment of the Marine Corps League, will honor Colonel Russell during a banquet at the State College Elks Club next week, on Thursday, October 13.

Russell will be the inaugural recipient of the Navy League of Central PA’s LT Michael P. Murphy Distinguished Citizen Award. This award is given to a non-active duty person whose character, distinguished military or civilian service and stature draw a wholesome comparison to the qualities the Central PA Council of the Navy League endorses.

Guest speaker for the event will be General James T. Conway, USMC (Ret.).

For ticket information visit www.navyleague-centralpa. org or call John Groenveld at (814) 863-9896.

Gerald “Gerry” Lyons

Caring for and Giving to Pets, Vets & “Family”

By Brian E. Bassett

Gerry Lyons, a lifelong Bellefonte resident, opened Lyons Kennels in 1959 and is proud to provide full-service boarding and grooming for dogs and cats; including pet supplies and high-quality pet foods. Visit: www.lyonskennels.com or call (814) 355-5964 to learn more.

Lyons goes out of his way to provide shelter for stray animals, and then does his best to match them with correct families and find them homes.

When families are in crisis he often takes care of their pets as long as possible.

The business provides facilities to Nittany Beagle Rescue, Pets Come First, the local SPCA, and Centre County PAWS while simultaneously helping them to find homes for unfortunate animals.

Gerry gives freely to schools. He supports reading programs, donates level-appropriate books to school libraries to help struggling readers; and once donated playground equipment in honor of an outstanding teacher.

He prefers to donate cash, thereby preserving his anonymity.

Some of Lyons’ favorite causes include family, veterans, scouting (he is an Eagle Scout), and animals. His “family” is anyone he knows.

“He never seeks the limelight nor will you see his name associated with his fund raisers but he is the driving force working in the background,” said Curtis Knepper, long-time friend and business associate. “Gerry will stop any local politician or businessman and put the squeeze on him to donate to his current cause.”

Red Raiders Run Over

by Huskies

State College Shuts Out Harrisburg

Bellefonte has been susceptible to giving up the big play all season long, and Friday’s contest with Mifflin County was no different. The Huskies rolled up 384 yards of total offense, with 324 coming by way of the ground, as the Huskies rolled the Raiders 56-11. The Huskies scored on three plays of over 40 yards and avoided an early scare to stop the Red Raiders attempt of getting in the win column this season.

The Huskies took the opening kickoff, and ran the ball down the field almost effortlessly in their opening possession; with Harry Lowber scoring from five yards out to give the Huskies an early 7-0 lead. After fullback David Yale (21 carries, 192 yards and 2 touchdowns) scored from 41 yards out to give the Huskies an early 14-0 lead, the Red Raiders got a spark.

Billy Thompson took the ensuing kickoff deep into Huskies territory to set the Bellefonte offense up with great field position. Four plays later, the Red Raiders were in the end zone by way of a seven-yard Jordan Fye scamper. Opting to go for two, Fye then found Tyler Haslet to cut the Huskies lead to six points, making the score 14-8. Bellefonte then stunned the Huskies with an onside kick off the foot of kicker Adam Johnson, with sophomore Doylan Deitrich recovering, giving the Red Raiders great field position yet again. However, the Huskies defense would hold, with Lowber making an acrobatic one-handed catch in the back of the end zone to thwart the Red Raider threat.

From that point on, the Huskies dominated. They scored 35 unanswered points, coming by way of a 62-yard punt return, a safety, two touchdown runs, and a 59-yard pass. Bellefonte got its final three points from Johnson, who knocked home a 33-yard field goal. Mifflin County would add one more score to make the final score 56-11.

This week, 0-5 Bellefonte hosts 1-4 Huntingdon. The Bearcats are coming off of a 35-0 loss to Bald Eagle, where they gave up five rushing touchdowns. That may just be with the doctor ordered for a Bellefonte team who has seen struggles in the scoring department. Bellefonte is averaging a little over five points per game this year. For the Bearcats, they may again be without the services of leading rusher Houston Riley, who missed last week’s game.

Kickoff is set for 7 PM at Rogers Stadium Friday night.

The Little Lions defense had seen their opponents score a combined total of 132 points in their three losses. At some point, enough was enough, and the Little Lions came out and shut out their Mid-Penn foe Harrisburg Cougars 28-0. On the night, they held the athletic Harrisburg offense to under 60 yards of total offense.

For State College, senior Jack Haffner added 196 rushing yards and three touchdowns to his already impressive numbers on the season, as he accounted for nearly 80% of the team’s total offensive yards.

The Little Lions scored twice in a 90 second span right before halftime, as quarterback Josh Weakland hit Dan Fry with a 14-yard touchdown pass with just under two minutes reaming in the half. Haffner then scored on an eight-yard run with 30 seconds left to give State College a 14-0 lead.

In the third quarter, Haffner ripped off a 59-yard run, where he outran the Cougars defense to extend the Little Lion lead. In the fourth quarter, he put the game away with a ten-yard run, making the score 28-0.

The win gives the Little Lions a 1-3 record on the season.

This week, they will make the trip down route 322 again as they head to Carlisle to take on the 3-2 Thundering Herd, who are fresh off of a 35-27 win over Susquehanna Township.

Carlisle senior running back Hunter Robb leads all Thundering Herd rushers with 132 yards rushing and one touchdown on the year. For the Little Lions, Jack Haffner has rushed for over 125 yards in three consecutive games. In order for the Little Lions to come home with a win, they may need another big night from Haffner.

Kickoff is set for 7 PM in Carlisle.

Nittany Lions Win Big Ten Opener in Less than Impressive Fashion

By Les Barnhart

BLOOMINGTON, Ind – Penn State opened their Big Ten schedule with a 16-10 road win over the Indiana Hoosiers last Saturday afternoon.

Despite the Nittany Lions winning their conference opener for just the second time in their last six games, the offense again struggled against a team that they should have buried early in the game and cruised to an easy victory.

Instead, on a day in which the offense averaged 5-4 yards per play in amassing 464 yards against a leaky at best Indiana defense, they needed a 22-yard field goal with just less than three minutes to play before halftime to draw even at 3-3.

The offense had their opportunities but, as they have this season, lacked execution or focus, perhaps both as they failed to close drives with points. The opening drive looked to be the start of a good afternoon but Silas Redd’s touchdown run was nullified by a holding call and on the next play, Rob Bolden’s pass was tipped and intercepted. In the third quarter, Redd would fumble at the Hoosiers’ 2-yard line on a drive that would have provided much needed breathing room for a defense that has not been afforded much of that this season.

For the third week in a row, the defense was solid if not impressive. They did allow 184 yards rushing but did force two turnovers. The defense allowed just the ten points with the lone touchdown coming in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter. The defense, despite not having D’Anton Lynn and Michael Mauti, played a good game and simply needed the offense to put points on the board.

The lone Penn State touchdown came near the end of the third quarter when Matt McGloin hooked up with Derek Moye for a 74-yard touchdown that extended the lead to 13-3.

Moye ended the game with 158 yards on just six catches to lead the Nittany Lion offense. Redd carried the ball 29 times for 129 yards (4.4 avg). The quarterback rotation was again employed and again it was with mixed results as McGloin went 10 of 22 for 204 with the long touchdown to Moye.

Bolden was less impressive with a 6 of 14 for 67 yards and an interception game.

Penn State has reached the point of their schedule where they will need to show just what kind of team they are as the soft portion of the schedule ended with Indiana. This weekend they entertain an Iowa team that has defeated the Nittany Lions three straight times and eight of the last nine times the teams have faced.

The Hawkeyes (3-1) will bring into Beaver Stadium a no-huddle attack that proved successful in their last game two weeks ago. Quarterback James Vandenberg triggers an offense that has just one proven running back, sophomore Marcus Coker, but has a talented corps of receivers led by senior Marvin McNutt. Junior Keenan Davis and redshirt freshman Kevonte Martin-Manley (he of the leaping, game winner touchdown catch over Pitt) round out the three talented wide outs.

Vanderburg has thrown 10 touchdown passes this season while being intercepted just once. He is an accurate passer, having completed 62.8% of his passes and along with his talented receivers should pose a challenge to the Nittany Lions defense.

The game kicks off at 3:30pm from Beaver Stadium on Saturday afternoon and fans of the Nittany Lions will once again hold their collective breath as to which Penn State team shows up. If this team wants to entertain thoughts of staying in the hunt for a Big Ten championship, this is a game they should and must win.

Steelers Lose More than Just a Game in Houston

By Matt Masullo

For a team that has had one of the statistically best defenses of this generation, to give up 155 yards to a running back (Arian Foster) who is fresh off of a hamstring injury is concerning to say the least. The Steelers were outplayed and outmanned all day in Houston, as the Texans defeated the Steelers 17-10.

The Steelers even had the luxury of not playing against one the league’s most dynamic wide receivers for an entire game when Texans All-Pro wide out Andre Johnson went down with a hamstring injury. For Texans fans, the injury was a scary one, as Johnson went down without any contact and immediately grabbed for the back of his right knee. Following the injury, the Steelers had an opportunity to put points on the board before the half ended, but a Shaun Suisham field goal attempt would be blocked as the teams headed into the locker room with the Texans leading, 10-0.

The Steelers would rally to tie the game at ten in the second half with a three-yard Rashard Mendenhall touchdown run and a 26-yard Suisham field goal. However, Foster would rip off a 42-yard touchdown run with just over 12 minutes remaining to ice the game.

For the Steelers, they would see Ben Roethlisberger walk out of the locker room following the game in a walking boot with a sprained foot, Rahsard Mendenhall gimping with a tweaked hamstring, and James Harrison leave the game with an eye injury. Roethlisberger will lumber through the injury as he always tends to do, but the Black and Yellow will see James Harrison miss “several games”. Rashard Mendenhall is also likely to miss this week, with Issac “RedZone” Redman taking a majority of Mendenhall’s snaps.

This week, the Steelers host Tennessee to take on the 3-1 upstart Titans.

Banged up Steelers Face Up-tempo Titans

By Matt Masullo

For the Pittsburgh Steelers, last Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans was a worst case scenario. Ben Roethlisberger was injured, as were Rashard Mendenhall and James Harrison. Mendenhall and Harrison will both miss this weekend’s game, with Harrison likely to miss upwards of two more games at least with a broken orbital bone. Mendenhall’s hamstring may be iffy as well, as hamstring injuries to running backs are a touchy subject to begin with. For Big Ben, he plays through pain seemingly every week, so his sprained foot is nothing new to him. The fact that he is hurt this early into the season is concerning though. Oh, and they lost the game by the way, falling to 2-2 on the season.

For the Titans, Matt Hasselbeck has resurrected his career in Tennessee. Right now, he is leading the charge on a team that finds itself tied for first place in the AFC South. The Titans are off to a fast start, and that fast start doesn’t necessarily include their fastest player, Chris Johnson. Fresh off of a big payday prior to this season, 4.24 has been slow to start this season. His longest run of the season is 25 yards, and he finally cracked the century mark last week, rushing for 101 yards last week against the porous Cleveland Brown defense.

This week’s matchup at the big ketchup bottle could be a make or break for both teams. For the Steelers, who sit tied for last in the AFC North, a win with a banged up team would be great for team morale. For the Titans, defeating last year’s AFC Champs would be a huge step in moving forward in the AFC South.

Eagles Can’t Hold on Late

By Matt Masullo

Michael Vick took the first offensive snap and the last offensive snap for the Eagles. However, that didn’t equate to victory for the Eagles, as they blew a 20-point lead early in the third quarter, only to see the 49ers come back to knock them off at home, 24-23.

Eagles rookie kicker Alex Henery missed field goals from 39 and 33 yards in the fourth quarter that would have put the game away. He did connect on three field goals on the afternoon (32, 32 and 33 yards), as the Eagles offense sputtered in the red zone all afternoon. At one point, running back Ronnie Brown found himself being tackled near the goal line, and turned and tried to throw the ball to someone.

The 49ers recovered and kept the Eagles from putting points on the board. On the other side of the field, was former Eagles kicker David Akers nailed a 37-yard field goal and was successful on his three PAT tries in his homecoming to Philadelphia.

The 49ers found themselves down 23-3 in the third quarter before Alex Smith found Josh Morgan from 30 yards out. Following that score, Smith connected with tight end Vernon Davis from nine-yards out to make the score 23-17.

Then Henery would miss the first of his two failed field goal attempts. In the fourth quarter, Frank Gore scored from 12 yards out to give the 49ers their first and only lead of the afternoon.

The Eagles had a last ditch effort derailed when Jeremy Maclin fumbled after catching a quick screen from Vick and taking the ball up the 49ers sideline before being chased down by defensive lineman Justin Smith.

This week, the Eagles take on one of the more surprising stories early this NFL season in the Buffalo Bills. “NOBODY, CIRCLES THE WAGONS, LIKE THE BUFFALO BILLS!”

Eagles Need to Circle the Wagons at Buffalo

By Matt Masullo

The Buffalo Bills were an afterthought at the beginning of this football season, the Philadelphia Eagles were the talk of the country. How the tables have turned. The Bills are tied for first in the AFC East (I did say tied for first, that wasn’t a typo).

The Eagles are bringing up the rear in the NFC East, a division that they have historically dominated over the past decade.

The Eagles have several hurdles to leap over before taking control of the division yet again. They need to find an offensive line to protect Michael Vick, they need to find a group of linebackers that like to tackle and they need to find a secondary that can make up for the front seven’s mistakes.

LeSean McCoy has been a bright spot this season, but other than that, the most hyped team in the league has yet to live up to their billing.

The Bills are led by a crew of relative no-names. Harvard grad Ryan Fitzpatrick quarterbacks an offense that features up-and-coming wide receiver Steve Johnson and running backs Fred Jackson and speedster C.J. Spiller. They have surprised the league and are taking the AFC East by storm, in a division that the Patriots and Jets have owned as of late.

For the Bills to take another step towards proving they are contenders versus pretenders, the need to knock off the Eagles at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The Eagles need to find a way to win; someway, somehow. They blew a 20-point lead at home last week. Should they blow another big lead, Andy Reid, the longest tenured coach in the NFL, could find himself on the hot-seat early in this 2011 season.

Coverage begins at 1 PM on Fox.

Bald Eagle and Penns Valley Streaking in Mountain League Soccer

Bald Eagle and Penns Valley pushed their unbeaten streak to a combined six wins this week as the Rams forged their first two game winning streak in more than a year and a half and the Eagles pushed their winning streak to four straight with convincing wins over Tyrone and Clearfield.

Bald Eagle caught Huntingdon in the 78th minute to grab a 2-1 victory over the Bearcats. Doug Turner took a feed from LJ Flood and earned the game winner fifteen minutes after Danny Styles staked the Eagles to a 1-0 from the penalty spot. Bald Eagle rounded out the week in convincing fashion with a 4-0 shutout of Clearfield. Doug Turner scored twice and Danny Styles and Eric Henderson each netted goals in the Eagles dominant performance.

The Penns Valley Rams had an undefeated week besting Clearfield in a steady downpour and controlling their match against the Bearcats from Huntingdon. The Rams, as is their want, gave up an early goal to Clearfield and earned the equalizer tying the game at 1-1 when Martin Black placed a penalty kick right in the middle of the goal as the Bison keeper dove left in the penalty kick guessing game. As it turned out, this game would feature an unusual statistic for a soccer match.

The referee’s whistled a total of four penalty kicks and Penns Valley scored on both of their spot attempts while the Bison beat Frankie Randazzo on one attempt and pushed a second attempt wide of the net. The game was played in a steady downpour and as the second half ensued, the field reminded spectators of their favorite duck hunting blind, but felt like an ice skating rink to the slipping and sliding players. In the end the Rams managed to retrieve 5 balls from the Bison net in earning the sloppy 5-2 victory.

Penns Valley controlled the possession game against Huntingdon and Caleb Luse staked the Rams to a 1-0 lead eight minutes into the second half off of an assist from Morten Andersen. Twenty minutes later the Rams Martin Black earned the game winner when he took a feed from Ryan Riegel and tucked an agonizing ball just inside the far post.

Ben Hsiung made it interesting for the Bearcats in the 75th minute as he beat Frankie Randazzo to pull one goal back for the visitors. In the final five minutes, Rams defenders Brian Markle and Dalton Ulmanic were able to hold their defensive line against a frantic Bearcats team as they desperately tried to earn the equalizer. Penns Valley outshot Huntingdon 9-2.

Bellefonte played a tight game against Philipsburg on a slippery home field Tuesday afternoon coming up short 1-0 to the Mounties. In a tight marking game that went back and forth for eighty minutes, Philipsburg broke through on a short throw-in to Alex Boumerhi who dropped the ball back to Alex Golemboski. Golemboski ripped a shot from 25 yards out beating Jacob Mann, the Red Raiders goalkeeper, as his outstretched fingers tried to push the ball over the net. The lone Philipsburg goal would hold up in a shut out victory for the Mounties and goalkeeper Jay Prentice who managed six saves on fifteen shots. Bellefonte had fifteen shots and Mann eradicated 13 Mounties shots. Coach Scott Martz was pleased with his teams defensive effort in closing down a high scoring Mounties team that averages more than three goals per game.

The Red Raiders found the win column against Tyrone as Tyler Rhoads scored twice in the Red Raiders 4-1 victory over the Golden Eagles. Paul Harrison and Jordan Newman had unassisted goals for the home team. Bellefonte had their Saturday match washed away by the steady rain that plagued the area.

In a battle of AAA schools Central Mountain and Mifflin County played 100 minutes and no winner emerged from a 1-1 tie. Central Mountain and Juniata also had games postponed due to weather and the games will be made up in the coming weeks.

Baseball Postseason Opens Without Red Sox and Braves

By Les Barnhart

With all the talk about both college and NFL football filling the radio airwaves, television coverage and morning water cooler talks, some may have missed the opening of the Major League Baseball postseason. That may be the case for some fans whose teams didn’t have a chance to make a run for the Fall Classic but for the eight teams that ultimately made the postseason as well as the two that didn’t, this is their time of year.

The two teams that didn’t make the playoffs, the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves, stole some of the spotlight upon the opening of the four postseason series. Both teams completed epic collapses with losses in their regular season finales to also lose what seemed a month prior to be a sure spot in the eight-team playoff field.

While the Braves toyed with the National League East lead early in the season, they trailed the eventual division winning Philadelphia Phillies throughout the second half of the season. They did however take command of the Wild Card race and held a 10.5 game lead in that race on August 25th.

The Red Sox and Braves had a September that no one wants to remember but few will soon forget. Each found ways to lose games and their Wild Card leads to the point where their postseason lives came down to the 162nd game of the season. The Red Sox posted a 7-20 record in September while the Braves weren’t much better with a 9-18 record in the month.

Meanwhile, the teams chasing them, the St. Louis Cardinals and Tampa Bay Rays, took advantage of the collapse.

The Cardinals played lights out down the stretch by winning 23 of their final 31 games including a win in their final game while the Braves were being swept at home by the Phillies.

The Rays went 17-10 in September to catch the Red Sox and with an extra inning walk-off home run against the Yankees, they moved past Boston to win the American League Wild Card.

Terry Francona ultimately took the blame, justified or not, for a Red Sox late season collapse that is already being hailed as one of the biggest in sports history. Francona led the Red Sox to World Series titles in both 2004 and 2007 and with his eight years at the helm was the most tenured manager in franchise history. That meant little to those looking for answers in the second straight non-postseason finish. Francona cited his difficulty “making an impact on players” as the reason why he and the team agreed not to pick up the option years on the manager’s contract.

Both teams will likely spend the offseason trying to repair and rebuild their teams for another run next season.

They are both proud and storied franchises with fans that will not stand for this type of play. The teams know this and will be ready when Spring Training opens next season. Each will have something to prove and in divisions which feature the Yankees and Phillies, respectively, they will certainly have their work cut out for them.

Note: The two teams that won the Wild Card titles both opened their respective series with the Rays picking up a win over Texas while the Cardinals lost to the Phillies. The Rangers closed out their best of five series, 3-1, on Tuesday. The Cardinals also lost on Tuesday and trail in their series 2-1.

Spirit and Beauty Meet in Veronica Winters’ Art

By Karen Dabney

Walking into Veronica Winters’ State College home and studio is like stepping into feast of light and color. Her oil paintings and colored pencil drawings grace the walls and delight the viewer.

A Moon for the Misbegotten By Eugene O’Neill The State Theatre October 6-October 16, evening & matinee A Moon for the Misbegotten is a play about finding peace – not the peace at the bottom of a whiskey bottle found by Harry Hope and company, but peace rooted in human kinship of the closest kind. It is a play about forgiveness and self-forgiveness. And it is a play about the close of life, though no one dies in it and there is no violence whatsoever in its conclusion. It feels like an autumnal play, a play which looks toward death without fear or bitterness. This play is tragedy concluding in a tone of reconciliation and lyrical sadness. Tickets are $20; $18 students & seniors.
