This week’s theme is decidedly pink – our annual Pink Ribbon feature for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Though breast cancer is the prominent affliction, always remember that all cancers are deadly, devastating, and deserving of our attention. My little sister is a two-time survivor – somewhere in that sea of smiling faces in the Pink Zone survivor photo. Like you, I have many friends and family, male and female, who have fought cancer bravely – some winning, some losing. God bless them all.

Our Pink Ribbon issue offers positive messages – advice about care, resources, support groups, fund raisers, and heart-warming stories. Thank you, in particular, to author Tammy Miller, Kris Peterson at PSU athletic communications, and the experts at Mount Nittany Medical Center for their important contributions.

I see beauty shining everywhere in this issue, despite the gray day. Sam Stitzer’s lineup of classic cars from the Mopars Car Show gleams like a precious gem. Outdoor images from Amy’s Confer’s The Fresh Life and Cindy’s Way’s fall flowers article demonstrate Mother Nature’s gifts to central Pennsylvania. Karen Dabney invites you to a fall arts tour that covers every corner of our county, every art form imaginable. And all those lovely, happy faces – bright-eyed students, proud volunteers, deserving award winners, triumphant athletes, exceptional neighbors with stories to tell – one can’t help but smile with them.

History comes to life inside these pages today. Boalsburg celebrates its anniversary and ties to Christopher Columbus. Cordy Cordiss shares headlines from 1881 in Cordy’s Clippings. The third installment in Karen’s genealogy series offers more insights and resources for tracing your own family history.

And lest you don’t think we can count higher than 10, you’ll find the 11th of the 11 Exceptional Men of 2011, along with a few honorable mentions, in this Gazette. Their omission last week was not intentional, of course. Carl Hill, Gregory Fredericks, John Elinitski, Jr., and Denny Mason have the spotlight to themselves this week. The entire listing can be found on our Web site.

Next week, we give in to childlike frivolity and feature Halloween events, fundraisers, and opportunities that are family-friendly, photogenic, and good, clean fun. One children’s event is church-sponsored, sans scary masks or horror costumes. There will be haunted trails, haunted houses, and even a haunted granary; costume parties, kids’ parades, and a punkin’ chunkin’; and Halloween benefits for Relay for Life, The Red Cross, and local food banks.

This Pink Ribbon issue should remind you of the fragile nature of life, take a “time out” and count your blessings. Consider an evening alone – or with family or a best friend – with cell phones, e-mail, television, video games, and iThingys turned off. Switch off the lights. Have a leisurely candlelit dinner. Play board games or get out a real deck of cards.

Light a fire in the fireplace. Read a book illuminated bathed in lantern light. Enjoy the sounds of silence. Write in a journal or talk about your dreams. It will do your soul good.

Gazette Editorial Policy

October 27th, 2011

I just wanted to let you know that I’m very impressed with the quality of the Gazette and the thorough coverage you give to local news in the region. Being in the Penns Valley area, I see Sam Stitzer everywhere, and I know that if he hears about something interesting going on, he’ll be there and he’ll be genuinely interested in the story. We get national/international news from the Web or NPR and they’re local coverage is scant. We make sure we pick up the Gazette every week locally.

Keep up the good work, you’re what a local newspaper should be!

Second Mile’s Friends Fitness Program Seeks Local Mentors Contributed by The Second Mile

The Second Mile’s Friend Fitness Program is an individualized strength training and mentoring program designed to provide adolescents with positive adult role models as they work to reach personal, academic, and fitness goals. Our mentors are adult volunteers who are interested in supporting the development of a student’s fitness, academic, and personal goals. The program runs year-round and is offered free of cost to student participants. Last year, the Centre Region Friend Fitness Program served dozens of children with the support of its volunteer mentors.

Committed to helping youth develop their inner and outer strength, the Friend Fitness Program meets once or twice weekly at LionHeart Fitness in State College – on Thursday evenings and on Sunday mornings. Teens are paired with committed Friend Fitness mentors, adult volunteers who serve not only as partners for the workouts, but also as consultants for achievement of goals. Mentors offer undivided attention during workouts, focus on the students’ goals, monitor and promote attendance, and recognize and celebrate the adolescents’ accomplishments. The Second Mile provides instruction and continuous training in the workout regimen, interpersonal communication, and adolescent development.

The Friend Fitness Program is one of nine Second Mile programs offered at no cost. For more information about The Second Mile and its programs, call (814) 237-1719.

State College Teacher Receives Agriscience Award

By Jasmine J. Suarez

STATE COLLEGE – Paul Heasley, an agricultural science instructor and Future Farmers of America (FFA) advisor, and recently received the 2011 Christopher Columbus Fellowship of Agriscience Award. Heasley has contributed to Agriculture through many ways as teacher, faculty member, and as administrator of one of the academic units in the College of Agricultural Sciences at Penn State.

The award came from the Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation, a federal agency that promotes sciences and seeks to nurture and recognize ambitious individuals and productive programs. Two years ago, the foundation acknowledged the importance of agriculture – how it helps feed, clothe, and house the population. With support from the American Farm Bureau, the Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation Agriscience Award was established.

Mr. Heasley has been actively engaged in providing students enrolled in the agricultural science program at State College High School with innovative and engaging sciencebased projects. He’s seen them through countless projects that greatly impact agriculture.

“Whenever you tell someone you’re an Ag Teacher, they think of cows, tractors, and corn…we do a lot of that but also Ag science projects. It’s much more than just farming. I teach Ag Sciences at State College high school. We have a program that goes from ninth to 12th grade and we have four career paths because Ag is a pretty big entity. We have plant science, animal science, Ag mechanic, and natural resource. Students can take courses in each of those career paths mixing them as they go along. Another component is FFA, providing leadership,” Heasley said.

One of the many projects that Heasley and his students undertook is collaboration with faculty and staff in the Department of Dairy and Animal Sciences (DAS) at Penn State to investigate the use of glycerin as a feed energy source for Whitetail Deer. With the support and guidance of DAS faculty and staff, along with access to the deer facility maintained by the College of Agricultural Sciences, Mr. Heasley and his students were able

to design and execute an experiential nutritional study to assess the impact of glycerin on deer growth and development.

Heasley grew up in a family involved in education. His mother was a kindergarten teacher and his father an Agriculture professor at Penn State. He was introduced by his father to Ag Sciences early on. “I taught in State College and other areas as well, and for a long time I was always interested in agricultural science and I knew it was what I wanted to teach,” Heasley said.

“The most important reason why I love teaching Ag is that it’s family and community-based…you get to know kids and parents. It’s been a great partnership and collaboration with the college of Ag through Penn State,” said Heasley. “I really feel fortunate to be nominated and selected for this award. I love what I’m doing with the students and I love knowing I can show them something great…the award validates that. It illustrates that if you build great partnerships, people will see that as a worthy cause. I’m most proud of being of being a facilitator in making some high-quality opportunity for our youth here.”

Penns Valley Residents Become Movie Stars Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

Movie stars?

Well, I exaggerate a little, but several Penns Valley residents did get a chance to appear in a promotional film which will soon be seen on local television stations.

Student actors perform dialog for the camera. In response to increasing competition from charter and other non-public schools, the Pennsylvania Association of Rural and Small Schools is sponsoring a series of short promotional spots extolling the values of public education. They selected the Penns Valley High School as a location to shoot the films at no cost to the district.

Penns Valley drama class teacher, Sue Shirey, provided students from her drama, speech, and debate classes to serve as actors in the film. Several Penns Valley residents were

recruited to serve as extras representing a crowd at a school athletic event. The dialog featured students discussing a chemistry class taught by a teacher who “made it fun,” and how the students learned a lot from him.

The spot was filmed on October 6 in the seats of the high school stadium by a professional videographer from a local TV station. Several takes were shot of the dialog, including close-ups of individual

actors, and a final scene where the crowd stands up and cheers as the Penns Valley athletes make a score. The raw footage will be professionally edited and assembled into a finished production, coming soon to a theater, uh, make that a TV, near you. Watch for it to see some of your friends on TV!

Cameraman gave instructions to the actors and extras before filming.

THE GAZETTE - SERVING CENTRE COUNTY

Books by Mitch Albom always make me feel good and have a little faith, a true story is no exception.

Albom has received an unusual request from Albert Lewis, the 82-year-old rabbi from his old hometown congregation.The rabbi would like Albom to deliver his eulogy. Feeling that he should get to know the man better, he is thrown back into the world of faith that he knew as a young man.

The rabbi was known to Albom as someone that he listened to as an audience would listen to a performer, as someone who was a man of God and could be very frightening to a little boy. This man of God surely could see the sins and shortcomings of a young man.

Even meeting with Lewis for the first time, now as an adult, was difficult. Instead of a man who was always seen in a suit or a long robe, a man who was an imposing force, the man who met him at the door

OCTOBER 14, 2011 was in Bermuda shorts, sandals with socks and a short-sleeved shirt.

As Albom is getting to know the rabbi, he gets involved in Detroit with another man, Henry Covington. This man was a reformed drug dealer, a convict, who now preaches to the homeless, the poorest of the poor in a decaying building with a hole in the roof.

Here is the story of two unique men.

Two men of different faiths who use that faith to fight for survival. Lewis is an old, suburbanite man watching the approach of his own death; Covington is an inner-city pastor trying to keep his church and congregation afloat.

In the process, we learn much about faith from Albom and these two men of faith.

As one man faces his death and the other faces a bitter harsh winter, we see the strength of each.

The service, the trappings, and the history may differ in these two places of worship, but as we learn, along with Albom, there is a striking unity among faiths – one that may be needed in today’s world.

11 Exceptional Men of Centre County

Yes, We Know How to Count!

Every photo, article, ad, and caption is a separate piece of the “puzzle” we put together each week to create The Gazette. With hundreds of “pieces” it’s inevitable that some may get lost or misplaced. That’s what happened last week with our 11 Exceptional Men of 2011. Not only did we publish only 10 men, we also missed those I honored in my introduction. My apologies to readers, Carl Hill, and the other exceptional men you see here.

Sandie Biddle Managing Editor

Davidsons Continue History of Service Past Exalted Ruler Richard Davidson kept the Elks traditions alive in his family, by participating in the recent initiation of his son, Thomas, into Bellefonte Elks Lodge # 1094.

Shown here are Thomas on the left, and Past Exalted Ruler Richard Davidson on the right.

Local, District & National Elks Share Common Goals

11 Exceptional Men of 2011 Rev. Carl Hill (Ret.) A Lifetime of …and a few more

By Sandie Biddle

As we learned when profiling the 11 Exceptional Women a few weeks ago, those who give freely are the most humble – often denying that they are doing anything special. But they are. They are role models for all of us.

Asking for these nominations opened the floodgates for The Gazette to find more ways to chime in about unsung local heroes in community service. You’ll see many more in future issues.

Here are a few more nominations that missed deadline or we weren’t able to follow up as completely as we would have liked.

Gregory Fredericks

Anne Fredericks wrote, “I would like to nominate Gregory Fredericks for the 11 exceptional men of 2011.

Greg is not a CEO of a big company or President of the university. He is a very ethical man who is there for anyone who needs his help. He volunteers in many areas in the community – United Way, runs youth cross country meets in the fall, and is the honorary coach for the CVIM marathon challenge, to name a few.

“Ask around our neighborhood and you will hear that Greg has been seen with his snow blower helping those who need him or mowing a lawn if someone is sick or away. He organizes a bulk mulch order for the neighborhood. He will walk a dog for a friend, rake leaves, takes care of a house while someone is away for any length of time. He is a very exceptional man.

John Elnitski, Jr

Bill Fleckenstein of Potter Township made this nomination:

“The recent opening ceremony of the Spring Creek Canyon was a wonderful day for residents of Pennsylvania and especially those in Centre County. It was a long process in which Benner Township took the lead. One person who was there at all of the meetings and keeping the process moving forward for years was Benner Township Supervisor John Elnitski, Jr.

“There are a lot of people who worked very hard to make this happen but it was John who continually reminded residents, ‘Tell me another way that we can do this’ or ‘Bring me someone who has the money and I will gladly talk to them.’

Each time John handed out a dose of reality – that it was important for us to partner with those who had budgets to support and manage this project into the future. He kept the project on track. It became a reality thanks to the leadership of Benner Township and John Elnitski, Jr.” Denny Mason

Marty Roan wrote, “I know I missed the deadline…if not too late, I’d like to nominate Denny Mason from Bellefonte. He is a local attorney, but more importantly is a teener league baseball coach and has been for many years. He is truly a ‘father figure’ for many of the boys. He’s a mentor and teacher – extremely patient, kind, and generous. A truly awesome man!!”

As part of her official duties as the Elks District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler, Verone Hill, of Philipsburg Lodge, visited the Bellefonte Lodge # 1094, with a message from the National Grand Exalted Ruler. Shown here are Ms. Hill and officers from the Bellefonte Elks Lodge, along with visiting dignitary, Jack Harrington, from the Philipsburg Lodge.

Now retired, Hill has made no effort to slow down.

He’d been a Rotarian in many of the towns he served.

Now a vital member of the State College Downtown Rotary Club, he’s been the treasurer since 1995; was there at the first Special Olympics in State College, when the Rotary provided children’s booths and activities; works in the kitchen for the annual spaghetti dinner fundraiser; is active in State College Global Connections; organizes concessions for the Festival of Trees; and helps with local park cleanup days.

The Eastern States Students Exchange (ESSEX) has been a special passion. This is the exchange student program though Rotary International District 7350, which includes part of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia. “I was the Inbound Coordinator, in charge of placing all the students in the district for 10 years,” he said. “My wife Jan and I have hosted 26 or 27 exchange students over the years.”

Patricia Smith, Rotarian and ESSEX volunteer, said, “I met Carl in my role as youth exchange officer for ESSEX… almost 13 years ago. He dedicates much of his time to the youth exchange program playing many roles but I know he also has room for his faith and community. When I think of Carl I think passionate, committed, faithful, helpful and thoughtful. Carl has this special way of bring his many roles within the community, Rotary and church together so that each can help each other.”

The many causes Hill has championed include United Way, Food Bank, Heart Association, Salvation Army, Nittany Valley Symphony, and many more. Wherever he went to preach, he involved in all of the community, not just his congregations. “It’s important to give back of your resources and your time, when you’re able – give back to the community,” he said.

His many commendations include Rotarian of the Year and Grange Citizen of the Year.

“Carl embodies what it means to sacrifice everything for the benefit of others… without even recognizing he has made a sacrifice since he ‘gives his all’ gladly, every single day,” said Laurel Sanders, fellow Rotarian.

“Carl has enough energy for 10 people,” Smith said.

“I am sometimes amazed by what he undertakes. When someone retires they usually take things easy, not Carl. He took on more.”

State College Downtown Rotary Club Celebrates 25 Years Contributed by Laurel Sanders PR Chair, State College Downtown Rotary Club

STATE COLLEGE – On Sunday evening, October 2, one could have heard a pin drop as State College Downtown Rotary Club president Cathy Brown and District Governor Elect Jim Eberly, a charter member of the club, highlighted serious and humorous moments of the club’s 25 years.

Founded on October 13, 1986 as an outgrowth of the State College (Evening) Rotary Club, the Downtown club has given $215,000 in charitable disbursements since its founding and more than $110,000 to the Rotary Foundation as well as supporting numerous local, regional, and international service projects. Four charter members – Charlie Hackett, Joe Geiss, Mark Meckstroth, and Jim Eberly – are still active members along with Brian Christian, who joined the club six months after its founding.

Although the club’s philanthropic focus has changed over time, several organizations have benefited from regular support. Since 1986, $54,000 has been awarded to the State College Area Food Bank; nearly $25,000 has supported vocational scholarships; over $39,000 has supported the Rotary Youth Exchange Program; and $28,000 has assisted the Centre County YMCA.

As club president Cathy stated, “Rotary is alive and well in State College and Rotarians are working hard every day to live the four-way test.” (The test evaluates truthfulness, fairness, the benefit to others, and whether goodwill and

The mood became reflective as DGE Jim Eberly renamed the club’s vocational scholarship the Richard A. Jones Memorial Vocational Scholarship in honor of the late Dick Jones. The program awards two $1,500 scholarships to deserving graduating high school seniors. Dick, a longstanding member, was the club’s president in 1996-97 and a leader in numerous club projects including several youth leadership and scholarship programs.

With the club’s annual spaghetti dinner, dining and entertainment book fundraiser, dictionary project, park cleanups, transport of food from the farmers market to the local food bank, and other service projects, the State College Downtown Rotary Club is indeed alive and well!

PAWS Assists Pet Owners with Low-Cost Spay/ Neuter Program Contributed by Centre County PAWS

Getting your pet spayed or neutered is a “SNAP� thanks to the Spay Neuter Assistance Program offered by Centre County PAWS. Area residents can get their pets altered at very low cost – and in some cases it’s free. PAWS is distributing spay/neuter vouchers which are accepted by all Centre County veterinarians. It’s part of an ambitious effort to reduce the number of unwanted dogs and cats in our area.

PAWS Shelter Supervisor, Lisa Bahr, says the SNAP program means, “anyone who finds a stray cat or who rescues a puppy from a bad situation won’t have to worry about whether they can afford to have that animal altered.�

And because all Centre County veterinarians accept SNAP vouchers, pet owners can have the procedure done by their regular vet.

In the past year, more than 300 dogs and cats have been altered through SNAP. The current voucher giveaway was made possible with assistance from Stone Valley Pet Lodge.

The McAlevy’s Fort business generously offered to match up to $7,500 in donations. PAWS supporters answered the call donating the full amount. That resulted in $15,000 for SNAP.

And that’s a relief for Bahr who says, “spaying and neutering pets means there are fewer kittens and puppies to fill up our waiting lists.�

According to PAWS a single unspayed female cat and her offspring can produce 10,736 cats in just four years. And those are daunting numbers for PAWS which has a noneuthanasia mission. Bahr says “We do not euthanize for space so people who spay or neuter pets really help ease the burden of pet overpopulation in our county.�

People who live or work full-time in Centre County, including students, are eligible for the SNAP vouchers. PAWS operates the voucher program on the “honor� system and asks people to only apply if they cannot otherwise afford the surgery. Those who need assistance with spaying or neutering can get additional information at centrecountypaws.org/ spay/. If you want to support SNAP, please visit centrecountypaws.org/donating/.

Boalsburg Celebrates Birthday with Heritage Festival Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

BOALSBURG – Residents of Boalsburg and folks from all as Christopher Columbus, in full 1490’s period costume. around the area gathered on Sunday, October 9 to celebrate It was a perfect fall day, with brilliant foliage highlighted the Boalsburg Birthday Heritage Festival in the historic and by the warming autumn sun. In the air was a spirit of history, picturesque village on the western tip of Penns Valley. This community, and celebration. We join with all those people event celebrates the founding of Boalsburg in 1808 by the who attended this event in wishing Boalsburg a Happy Boal family, who are descendants of Christopher Columbus. Birthday!

The festival actually began at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 8, with a formal ball in the historic Boal mansion.

The ball featured a visit by Columbus himself, portrayed by Bruce Young, who also appeared at the Sunday afternoon festival in the town square.

There were numerous food and craft vendors on the square, and live music. Tours of the town were given in a tractor-pulled wagon, and the Boalsburg Fire Company rolled out their trucks for informative demonstrations of fire safety.

In the craft area was Cathy Lomartire, from Cate Tails Creations in Bellefonte, with a line of decorative items and jewelry made from beads which she makes from strips of recycled paper. Cathy says that rolling paper beads is a traditional craft that dates back to the early 1900s. In those days, Victorian ladies would gather to make beads, just as they did Craft vendors lined Main Street on a perfect autumn day. for quilting and knitting. They used scraps of wallpaper, rolled on knitting needles to make the beads, then dipped them in paraffin or beeswax to seal them. The beads were strung together to make beaded curtains to separate rooms. Cathy’s process is much the same today. She uses knitting needles, as well as wooden skewers, or toothpicks for the smallest beads.

Her finishing methods have Gloria Brashers displayed the Celebrating Home Cathy Lomartire sold an interesting and unique line been modernized to use line of decorative items. of paper bead jewelry. several coats of Polycrylic urethane varnish instead of wax. She strings the beads to make bracelets and necklaces, often mixed with ceramic or metal beads. The results are beautiful and unique.

“Every bead is different,� she says. Cathy uses paper from old magazines, church bulletins, newspaper, and junk mail.

(Finally, a good use for junk mail!)

Gloria Brashers of State College was across the street, representing Celebrating Home. She sells many attractive decorative items for home and office. On display were numerous fall harvest and Halloween-themed articles of high quality. This was Gloria’s sixth year of appearing at the festival. Gloria’s husband, Bill Brashers, alias Dr. Be, was on the square, performing Christian songs of his own composition. Bill has released CDs of his work. He sounded good!

Fabulous Fall Flowers

By Penn State Master Gardener Cindy Way

When the calendar turns to October most people feel that their flower gardening season has come to an end. While the first frost invariably turns impatiens and begonias into ugly mounds of mush, many perennials are in their glory in the chilly days of autumn. Some of these lovely fall offerings are surprisingly delicate and exotic in appearance.

One fall favorite in this category is the Toad Lily (tricyrtis) that looks like an orchid! Happy in moist soil and partial shade, it has clusters of pale lavender flowers with darker red or pink or purple dots on alternate sides of long stems. It blooms from mid-late September until the first heavy frost. Plants spread rapidly and are easily Toad lilies with orchid-like blooms divided.

Another fragile-looking but tough group of flowers are the autumn-blooming Anemones. The hardy three- to four-foot plants bear prolific dogwood-like blossoms in white, light pink or ruffled dark pink. The seed heads that appear in early November look like white cotton balls and work well in dried flower arrangements.

These plants have a woody root system and do not transplant well, so you will need to purchase a potted plant rather than get a start from a gardening friend.

Some of the more common fall bloomers include the New England and New York asters.

They come in a wide range of colors from white to fushcia to deep blue. These tough easy-care flowers spread rapidly and look lovely with plantings of chrysanthemums. Since asters, like chrysanthemums, tend to get leggy, it is a good idea to pinch them back by half by mid-July to insure sturdy plants that do not flop in the fall. Related to asters, the tall Boltonia Asteroides produce abundant white or pink daisy-like flowers on Mixed fall boarders with pink anemones and four- to five-foot plants and provide an impreswhite boltonia sive display through October.

An easy to grow, quick spreader that bees adore are fall-blooming sedums. Autumn Joy is probably the best known variety with its light pink blossoms and succulent gray-green foliage. The flower heads hold their shape throughout the winter and look quite pretty with a dusting of snow. Large-flowered upright sedums make perfect backdrops for fall-flowering dwarf asters such as the quick spreading deep purple aster, Purple Dome. Both upright and trailing sedums enhance the garden year round with their fleshy foliage in purples, greens, browns and numerous variegated colors.

The “icing on the cake” of the fall garden are the ornamental grasses which come into their glory in the short cool days. The impressive plumed seed heads of the miscanthus grasses add a dramatic height to the fall garden display. On a windy day the swaying and rustling of these grasses adds another pleasurable element to the garden. They make spectacular fall arrangements and can be dried and enjoyed well into the winter.

These tough and lovely fall additions can extend the garden season into mid November and add interest to the winter garden as well.

Car Club Holds Show at Grange Fairgrounds Article and photos by Sam Stitzer

CENTRE HALL – The Mid-State Mopars Car Club held a car show on the Grange Fairgrounds in Centre Hall on Sunday, October 9. The show was rescheduled from a week earlier, due to rainy weather. This turned out to be a good move, as the weather on October 9 was just perfect – sunny and warm, with a light autumn breeze!

The name Mopar originated in 1937, when the Chrysler Corporation coined the name for their auto parts division by combining the words “motor” and “parts.” Since that time, Chrysler’s vehicles have been called Mopars. The Mid-State Mopars are dedicated to the Chrysler marques: Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge, and DeSoto (remember them?). Their show focused on Mopar vehicles, but was not restricted to them.

Actually, the first guy I met was showing a Ford. Joe Williams of State College brought his bright red 1932 Ford three window coupe hot rod to Centre Hall. This beauty is done up in the classic “highboy” style, with the fenderless body sitting atop the frame rails. Power is the venerable 350 Chevy V-8. Joe acquired the little deuce coupe from American Classic Street Rods in Knox, PA.

Nearby sat a black 2010 Dodge Challenger Mopar 10. This limited production beauty is owned by Sarah Pequignet of Milesburg, and is number 28 of just 500 cars made. Sarah has all the documentation for the car, and is justifiably proud of it.

Muscle cars of the 1960s and ’70s were well represented in this show: Jeff Myers of Spring Mills showed a metallic blue 1969 dodge Super Bee which he has owned since 1984. It features a 440 six-pack (three 2-barrel carburetors) engine.

Steve Harpster of Julian showed his bright yellow 1969 Plymouth Road Runner with a 413 V-8. It has been reported that Chrysler paid Warner Brothers $50,000 for the use of the Road Runner name and cartoon character back in 1968.

Bill Overcash from Claysburg showed an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, which featured the aerodynamic nose and airplane-like fins and wing unique to the ’Bird.

Bill drove the car to the show, and it must have turned a lot of heads

Prizes will be awarded following the judging at 11 a.m. October 22. Judging by First National Bank (Port Matilda branch) representative, Way Fruit Farm owner, and local author and “foodie” Ken Hull. Any ties will be broken by a re-taste and then broken by Way Fruit Farm’s own baker (if needed).

Prizes include: • 1st place - $50 gift basket to include Way Fruit Farm apples, goodies and a gift certificate & First National bank goodies • 2nd place - $25 gift basket to include same prizes as above • 3rd place - $25 gift basket to include same prizes as above

All prizes include full bragging rights for the contestants to use until next year’s winner is crowned! Way Fruit Farm hopes you’ll come and join in the fun, if not to bake, then to enjoy seeing the winner crowned!

No purchase necessary, contest open to the general public.

Club founder, Denny Moore (right), waves as Mid-State Mopars President John Runkle presents him with a special award

along the way!

Jim Stewart of Lewistown brought a black 1970 Dodge Challenger convertible, which won the People’s Choice award.

Not all the cars were in the muscle-car category. There were several fine examples of somewhat less muscular, but still very cool Mopars in attendance. A 1965 Chrysler Imperial convertible, a 1963 Dodge 330 station wagon (with a slant 6 engine), a 1964 Dodge Polara hardtop, a 1952 Dodge Meadowbrook sedan, a 1948 Plymouth sedan, and a big-finned 1957 Plymouth Fury were just a few examples present.

Club President, John Runkle and his wife, Betsy, both brought their cars to show.

John had a 1967 Dodge Coronet hardtop, which he bought in 1989. He finally began working on it in 1998, and finished it in 2007. Betsy showed her rare 2001 Dodge Stratus R/T coupe with just 13,000 miles on it.

A special award was presented to Denny Moore, who is the founder of the Mid-State Mopars club, and served as its first president.

He received a plaque and much applause for all his service to the club.

As usual, there were so many nice cars and not enough newsprint to describe them all. The show was a very enjoyable event, and was a great last hurrah for the car show season, as winter approaches. Many thanks go to the Mid-State Mopars for showing this motorhead, and many others, a great time!

See our Facebook page for all of Sam’s photos from the Mopars car show October 9.

Steve Harpster from Julian, brought his bright yellow 1969 Plymouth Road Runner.

Care Navigation Leads the Way for Cancer Patients

By Kristin Sides

Have you ever felt the frustration of trying to coordinate multiple doctors’ appointments? How about trying to find a ride to a doctor’s visit? What about the worry of your medicine not being covered by insurance, or worse yet, not having insurance at all? We all have experienced the occasional stress of juggling the demands of life when it’s time to see a physician. What if instead of making appointments for something routine, you were coordinating appointments for cancer care?

For persons facing a diagnosis of cancer, it can be a very difficult and overwhelming time dealing with all that is involved in diagnosis and treatment. A care navigator can guide patients through the health care system and help work through any obstacles a person with cancer may be experiencing.

The care navigator can provide: • Guidance through the health care system • Help with questions about insurance and patient assistance programs • Help in filling out insurance forms • Information on how to pay for health care if someone does not have insurance or if insurance does not cover recommended treatment • Direction to local resources and support systems • Help coordinating transportation to get to and from treatments and medical appointments • Direction to health care services for further information about your diagnosis and treatment • Information on identifying the right people to answer questions • Emotional support and access to support groups • Help patients keep track of appointments • Assistance in accessing reduced-cost medications

There are many national and local resources for people with cancer and it is the aim of the care navigator to help find and utilize the resources that will be most helpful. The care navigator serves as an advocate, someone to make recommendations and provide support.

People living with cancer should be able to focus their energies on healing and managing the other important areas of their life. A care navigator’s support in getting access to different types of resources can help make that possible.

Mount Nittany Medical Center has two great resources for patients dealing with cancer: Kristin Sides, certified care navigator and Cheri Woll, RN, oncology nurse navigator. For information please call Kristin at (814) 234-6175 or e-mail ksides@mountnittany.org. Kristin and Cheri are happy to talk to anyone with a diagnosis of cancer, even if the patient is getting treatment at another facility.

Skincare Treatment for Cancer Patients

Cancer can take away a woman’s physical strength, but it doesn’t have to lessen her physical beauty.

Camille Brown, licensed aesthetician of the Mount Nittany Physician Group’s Reconstructive & Cosmetic Surgery practice, can design skincare treatments to address women’s individual needs as they go through each step of their cancer recovery, from diagnosis to treatment to survivorship.

Lady Rams Sponsor Pink Out Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

Anyone who has attended any Penns Valley High School sports events has learned to cheer when the Rams players take the field in their familiar blue and white uniforms. However, on Thursday, October 6, the Lady Ram Soccer team took the field wearing not blue, but pink!

The cause for this color change was a “Pink Out” fundraiser for the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition.

Penns Valley junior and soccer team member, Carolyn Darr, organized the event as her senior project. She said she had to get permission from the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) to allow the one-time uniform change, and that a pending rule change will prohibit such changes in future years.

Admission fee proceeds and the receipts from a silent auction and T-shirt sale at this event were donated to the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition. Carolyn made a pink and white blanket for the auction, and took a soccer ball to Penn State, where it was autographed by the members of the PSU Lady Lions Soccer Team. These were two The Penns Valley Lady Rams Soccer team lined up for a photo. fine prizes which fetched some high bids in the auction!

Appropriate for a soccer game, the theme for the Pink Out was Just Kick It, and the Lady Rams did some fancy kicking in their games against the Philipsburg-Osceola Lady Mounties that night.

The Junior Varsity squad beat P-O by a 2-0 score, and the Varsity girls continued the shutout by beating the Mounties 4-0.

Besides the obvious pink uniforms, alert Penns Valley fans noticed that some of the markings on the field were also applied in pink, instead of the usual white. This change was done by Penns Valley resident Dave Neese, following a suggestion by his wife. Dave said he was assisted by Bob Styers, and they wondered how the Varsity football team might react to the pink 50-yard line at their game the next evening!

Oh, well, real men aren’t afraid of pink, especially when Junior Varsity action: Penns it symbolizes the fight against a Valley won 2-0. sinister killer of women. Thanks to the efforts of Carolyn Darr, and many more like her, medical science will one day step up to breast cancer and “just kick it”!

Go Lady Rams!

Carolyn Darr’s mother, Laura, ran the silent auction table.

Is Breast Reconstruction Right for Me?

By Emily A. Peterson, M.D.

Breast reconstruction surgery – and whether to have it done – is a very personal decision. Some women may consult with a plastic/reconstructive surgeon prior to a mastectomy or double mastectomy, while others may choose to wait, or be advised to wait, by their oncologist. Either way, the goal of the surgery is to restore symmetry and a sense of normalcy for the Dr. Emily Peterson is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon for the Mount patient.

Reconstructive surgery Nittany Physician Group. options usually fall into one of two categories. Tissue expansion involves a series of surgeries that stretch the skin and muscle of the chest to allow a breast implant to be placed. This occurs over a period of several months.

The second type of reconstruction is commonly referred to as a “flap” procedure in which donor muscle, skin, and fat from the patient’s abdomen or back are used to reconstruct the breast. Flaps can be utilized for many purposes, ranging from creating an entire breast to the creation of a base for implant placement.

Although each patient is unique, there are a few basic considerations for any woman considering breast reconstruction surgery: 1. What are your expectations for the end result? In other words, what do you hope to accomplish through this procedure? Do you want symmetry so that your clothes look better on you? Or do you want to look as good as possible without your clothes on? Every woman

will have a slightly different goal, so understanding your personal expectations is key.

2. What are your expectations for the process? Typical breast-reconstruction procedures involve more than one surgery to achieve the desired results. Again, each patient will be different so each procedure may differ slightly in its details. Getting as close as possible to your goal is critical.

3. Are you in good health? It’s vital to go over a complete medical history – including your complete history, medical conditions, cancer treatments, and any drug allergies that may affect the course of treatment.

4. Are you worried about more scarring? While we strive for the best aesthetic results possible with all of our procedures, it’s important to remember that there will be some degree of scarring from reconstructive surgeries.

5. Are you worried about the surgery/recovery/healing time? Reconstructive surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. Like any surgical procedure, breast reconstruction does pose some degree of risk. Your surgeon should review the risks to help you weigh the pros and cons. Each patient is different, so recovery times will vary from patient to patient.

Clear, honest communication between doctor and patient is critical to a positive outcome in any reconstructive surgery.

Be sure to discuss with your surgeon all of your concerns so that she or he can help you make the best, and healthiest, choices possible.

Emily A. Peterson, M.D., plastic and reconstructive surgeon, is the first plastic surgeon employed by Mount Nittany Physician Group, a division of Mount Nittany Medical Center in State College. She is a member of several medical organizations including the American Medical Association and the Association of Women Surgeons. To contact her office, go to http://cosmetic. mountnittany.org. or call 814-231-7878.

The Lady Rams won the Varsity game 4-0 under the lights.

State College Rolls Up Carlisle Penns Valley Plays Well but Big Second Half Costs Eagles for 2nd Win of Season Falls at Home to Central Shot at Upending Indians

By Gazette Sports Department

By Les Barnhart

By Les Barnhart

For State College, Jack Haffner has been their catalyst all season long. Friday night’s contest against Carlisle was no different, as the bruising senior running back rushed for 253 yards and three touchdowns in a 38-28 victory over the Thundering Herd. For the season, Haffner has totted the rock 89 times for 732 yards and ten scores.

In a game that appeared to be shaping into slugfest by the end of the first quarter with the score tied at 14, Carlisle struck first with an 80 yard touchdown pass. State College answered with a 93-yard drive, culminating with a two-yard Haffner plunge. The Thundering Herd answered that with a two-yard score of their own, giving them a 14-7 lead. Haffner then broke loose from 65 yards out to tie the game up as the first quarter ended.

In the second quarter, Dan Fry scored from one-yard out and Josh Clothiaux kicked a 31-yard field goal to give State College a 24-14 lead heading into the half. In the third quarter, quarterback Josh Weakland connected with Darian Herncane from 75 yards out to extend the Little Lion lead.

The Thundering Herd scored again from a yard out before Haffner scored from 39 yards away. Carlisle would put one more score on the board in the fourth, but it wouldn’t be enough as the Little Lions defense held the Thundering Herd out of the end zone just enough times on the evening to secure their second victory of the season.

This Friday, State College hosts Lower Dauphin, who are 1-5 on the season. Travis Morrill leads the charge for the Falcons, having rushed for 300 yards and three scores on the season. Josh Palmer also has 205 yards rushing on the season for the Falcons.

SPRING MILLS – The Penns Valley Rams faced the same opponent for the second time in three weeks but unfortunately what most people will see is the results were the same as the Rams again fell to Central last Friday night.

What many won’t see is that the Rams played a very solid game and were on the cusp of making the game much closer than the final score of 21-2 would indicate.

Central (3-3) built a 14-0 halftime lead with a touchdown in each of the first two quarters. The Penns Valley defense, who played well in the loss, forced a bad snap into the endzone but Central’s punter was able to corral it to prevent the Rams from converting it into a touchdown rather than the safety that resulted.

Trailing 14-2 in the fourth quarter, the Rams (1-5) took the ensuing drive and drove from their own 38 to the Dragons’ 9-yard line. On second down from the 9, quarterback Sam Snyder was intercepted at the goal line to end the threat and essentially flip the field as Todd Slick returned the interception to the Rams’ 18 yard line. The Dragons would ice the game with their third and final touchdown two plays later.

It was certainly a different game than the two teams played when then met two weeks ago in Martinsburg when the Dragons won 53-14 as the Rams played with more emotion. Coach Tobias commended his team for doing a better job of tackling and the job done by his special teams unit. He was disappointed with the turnovers and the team’s lack of focus (committing too many penalties). Four of the turnovers came via Snyder interceptions. He ended the game with 138 yards while completing 14 of 31 passes.

Penns Valley travels to Huntington (1-5) to take on a Bearcats team that has suffered consecutive losses to Centre County teams, Bald Eagle Area and Bellefonte. That game will kickoff at 7pm.

WINGATE – Bald Eagle Area entered the night with a chance to even their record on the season as well as advance their position in the highly contested District 6 playoff race. When the teams went to halftime, despite a first half that Coach Jack Tobias would like to have forgotten, the Eagles (2-4) were facing just a 14-7 deficit against a Juniata Indians team that runs their offense behind a wall of humanity that allows them to batter, bruise and wear down opposing defenses.

When the second half opened, the Homecoming crowd and the Eagles quickly realized that the deficit they faced at the break would be as close as they would get as the Indians (4-2) posted a touchdown in the third quarter followed by two more in the fourth quarter en route to defeating Bald Eagle Area 34-7.

The Indians big offensive line pushed the Eagles defense around in the second half and logged 199 of their 296 yards on the ground in the final two quarters. Neil Bodley did most of the damage for Juniata, who ran the ball 48 times, with 126 yards on 18 of those carries. Despite the barrage of running plays, Coach Tobias felt his team was more mentally fatigued than physically after that game.

The Eagles committed twelve penalties for 92 yards in the game. Their touchdown in the second quarter came on the ground as Nate Sharkey rumbled in from 8 yards out to give Bald Eagle Area a 7-6 lead. Cody Ripka led the rushing attack with 50 yards on seven carries. Cole Long threw for 90 yards while completing 10 of 19 passes.

Bald Eagle Area has a daunting task this Friday as they travel to Tyrone to take on John Franco’s high flying Golden Eagles. Tyrone defeated Central Mountain 28-14 last Friday and once again has a team that is primed to make a deep postseason run. Kickoff for the game is scheduled for 7pm.

Bellefonte Nips Huntingdon

By Gazette Sports Department

The Red Raider football team got in the win column this past Friday night at Rogers stadium, defeating Huntingdon 17-12. Bellefonte saw their offense open up behind the play of quarterback Jordan Fye, who led the team in rushing (56) and passing (165) yards.

Bellefonte (1-5) forced Huntingdon (1-5) into a threeand-out to open the game. After a Bearcat punt, the Red Raider offense went to work, going 76 yards on 16 plays for the game’s opening score, a one-yard Fye run. Adam Johnson’s PAT was good, giving the Red Raiders an early 7-0 lead.

Seizing an opportunity, Bellefonte then recovered a surprise onside kick to set them up with prime field position. After driving to the Bearcat ten-yard line, the Red Raiders offense stalled, and was forced to attempt a field goal. Johnson’s kick was blocked and recovered by Bellefonte. Malik Breon recovered for Bellefonte and took the ball into the end zone for what appeared to be a Red Raider score. But an inadvertent whistle stopped the play, and the Raiders were given a second opportunity at the kick. This time Johnson’s kick was true from 25 yards out, giving Bellefonte a 10-0 lead.

Huntingdon returned the ensuing kickoff deep into Bellefonte territory to set up Taylor Garman’s five-yard scamper four plays into their next possession. The PAT was missed wide left, leaving the score at 10-6. That would be the score as the teams went into halftime.

In the third quarter, quarterback Alec Tressler scored from eight yards out, but the two-point conversion attempt failed, giving Huntingdon a 12-10 lead. In the fourth quarter, Bellefonte drove 70 yards for the game winning score, a fouryard pass from Fye to Billy Thompson. Johnson drove his PAT through the uprights, giving Bellefonte a 17-12 lead. The Red Raider defense would hold the Bearcats one more time, and Bellefonte would run the clock out, securing their first win of the 2011 season.

This week, Bellefonte heads to Mifflin County. Two weeks ago, the Huskies hammered Bellefonte 56-11 on their home turf. Tonight, Bellefonte will travel to Mitchell Field in Lewistown. Mifflin County is fresh off a 47-7 loss to Cardinal Mooney of Ohio. In their prior contest against Bellefonte, Mifflin County rushed for 325 yards on 44 carries. Last week against Cardinal Mooney, they only rushed for 26 yards.

David Yale has been gashing defenses all season long, and the Red Raiders will have a tall task in stopping the senior running back that is averaging 8.3 yards per carry.

Mounties Pull Off Upset in Win Against Clearfield

Going into the second half of the season, Philipsburg-Osceola knew that their road was going to get much tougher.

The Mounties went into their contest with Clearfield with a record of 4-1 but knew that their toughest tests were still to come. Well on Friday night, P-O passed their stiffest test to date with flying colors, defeating the previously unbeaten Bison 40-33 in a frenzied homecoming atmosphere at Memorial Stadium.

After Philipsburg-Osceola punted on their first possession, which pinned Clearfield at their own six-yard line, the Mountie defense got the packed house on their feet, as Mike Marcinko intercepted a Bison pass and returned it fifteen yards for a touchdown to give P-O an early 7-0 lead. Clearfield, who came into the contest with a high--powered offense came right back, as Beau Swales scored his first of five touchdowns on the evening, this one a 2-yard scamper that tied the game up at seven midway through the first quarter.

Philipsburg-Osceola scored two minutes later, as Marcinko was flushed out of the pocket, and threw a strike to Michael John, who avoided a Bison defender, and ran into the end zone for a 49-yard touchdown to give the Mounties a 13-7 lead. It would be a game that would have plenty of big plays, and stay close throughout, as after two more Swales touchdown runs, and a touchdown run by John, Clearfield led 21-20, and looked like the Bison might have the lead going into the locker room.

The Mounties went on a late drive however, moving to the Clearfield 20-yard line, where kicker Alex Boumerhi booted a 37-yard field goal, that just cleared the cross bar, to give P-O a 23-21 lead at intermission.

There were not many defensive stops on the night, but the Mounties had the biggest one of the evening, as they made Clearfield go three-and-out on their first offensive series of the second half, which was then converted into another Mountie touchdown, this time a 23-yard scoring play by fullback Cody Lee, to make the score 30-21. After that score, the P-O crowd started feeling the possibility of an upset in the air. But the Bison, like they did for most of the night, came back, getting another touchdown from Swales to make it 30-27. The Mounties blocked the ensuing extra point to maintain the lead to three.

The Mounties were tough to handle all night, and it continued early in the fourth quarter, as with a drive starting at their own 37-yard line, they ran the ball eight straight times, before Marcinko threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Aaron McKnight to make the contest a two-score game at 37-27. The game was still in doubt late in the fourth quarter though, as after a Clearfield touchdown, Boumerhi kicked his second field goal of the game, this time from 32-yards out to give P-O a 40-33 lead with 2:50 remaining in the game. On their final drive, the Bison drove down to the Mountie 10-yard line, but turned the ball

over on downs with under thirty seconds remaining to seal the win for Philipsburg-Osceola, which set off a wild celebration, including the P-O student body flooding the field.

Leading the charge for the Philipsburg-Osceola offense was Michael John, as he rushed the ball for 160 yards on 17 carries, while on the defensive side of the ball, sophomore Curtis Matsko recorded three sacks. It’s the first win for the Mounties against the Bison since 1995, and the first regular season loss for Clearfield since 2009, when Bald Eagle Area defeated the Bison in an early season match-up. The Mounties improve to 5-1 on the season, and are now atop the District Six Double-A playoff standings, and will visit Central on Friday.

Nittany Lions’ Defense Comes Steelers Resemble Their Old Steelers Look to Keep up Big in Win over Hawkeyes Selves, Taking Down Titans Rolling Against Jags

By Les Barnhart

By Matt Masullo

By Matt Masullo

The untrained eye may not have been able to see it but the Nittany Lions and even their legendary coach have had something on their backs for a long time. Not a monkey, but rather a Hawkeye. That Hawkeye had a name and it was Kirk Ferentz, the Iowa head coach that had dealt the Nittany Lions losses in eight of their last nine meetings and nine of last eleven. On Saturday in Beaver Stadium, Penn State knocked off a talented Iowa team and defeated their Big Ten nemesis for the first time since 2007 and second time since 1999.

In the 13-3 win, it was the Nittany Lions’ defense that led the way to victory. Penn State seemingly blitzed on every down and from every position. A notion that was further strengthened after the game with Defensive Coordinator Tom Bradley’s comment, “I think I called every one (blitz) we got in our repertoire”.

The only touchdown of the game was set up by one of those blitzes as Gerald Hodges’ fourth quarter sack and forced fumble was recovered by Nate Stupar. Matt McGloin would connect with tight end Kevin Haplea from the two-yard line to give the Nittany Lions a 13-3 lead that would stand as the final.

As impressive as the Penn State (5-1, 2-0 Big Ten) defense was in holding an explosive Iowa offense to just over half of their passing average as well as forcing three turnovers in the second half, the Nittany Lion offense may have had one of their best games all season. That is outside of the “red zone”. Inside the 20-yard line, the offense again sputtered, posting touchdowns on just one of the four opportunities in the game. Expanding that frustration, they have now scored one touchdown in nine trips inside the “red zone” in their two Big Ten games.

The offense ran the ball well with 240 yards rushing as a team but really looked strong in the second half as it appeared the Nittany Lion offense line wore down the Iowa (3-2, 0-1 Big Ten) defense. In the second half, they rushed for 154 rushing yards alone. At times, they gouged the Hawkeyes with big runs led by Silas Redd’s 142 yards on 28 carries.

That running game allowed the Nittany Lions to not only control the line of scrimmage but also the game as they held a nearly twelve minute advantage in time of possession.

Penn State’s defense allowed just a second quarter field goal and held an opponent out of the endzone for the first time since they shut out Minnesota, 20-0, in 2009. Next up for the Nittany Lions is a Homecoming game against Purdue this weekend. The Boilermakers (3-2) come into Beaver Stadium on the heels of a 45-17 win over Minnesota last weekend. They have lost their last four to the Nittany Lions and in the midst of an eleven quarter streak against the Lions that has seen them fail to score an offensive touchdown. The game is scheduled for a noon kickoff on Saturday.

Who needs James Harrison, Casey Hampton, Aaron Smith and Rashard Mendenhall? Clearly not this past weekend’s Pittsburgh Steeler team. Harrison, Hampton, Smith and Mendenhall did not see action this past weekend, all being held out because of injuries sustained against the Houston Texans. Ben Roethlisberger led his team to a convincing 38-17 victory on Sunday at Heinz field, tossing five touchdowns and throwing for 228 yards.

In a game that the Steelers desperately needed to win, they held the Titans offense to just 17 points. After a 21-yard run on his first carry of the day, the Steelers held Titans star running back Chris Johnson to just 51 yards on 14 carries. The black and gold came out and played with a fire that had yet to be seen this season. Linebacker LaMarr Woodley picked off Matt Hasselbeck once and sacked him 1.5 times on the day.

On the offensive side of the ball, Roethlisberger played like the Big Ben of old. Hines Ward caught two touchdowns, Mike Wallace got loose in the Titans secondary for a long score, Heath Miller caught a red zone touchdown, and fullback/tight end David Johnson even got in the action, catching a one-yard touchdown.

Issac Redman filled in for Mendenhall, but left with an injury that paved the way for Jonathan Dwyer to rush for a career high 107 yards on 11 carries, with a majority of his yards coming by way of a 76-yard scurry up the right sideline.

On special teams, punter Daniel Sepulvada even got in on the action, completing a 33-yard pass on a fake punt to Ryan Mundy.

This week, the Steelers host the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars are struggling early this season under rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert. For Jags coach Jack Del Rio to keep his job longer than week six this season, the Jags will need a solid performance against a Steelers team that may be finding its former self.

The Steelers play host to the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend at Heinz Field, and they will likely do so with another change to their offensive line. Last week, recently re-signed tackle Max Starks suited up with the first team, playing left tackle after being cut earlier in the pre-season. Starks was reportedly weighed in at close to 400 pounds when he was cut, but is listed “generously” at 345 pounds on the Steelers website. This week, rookie second round pick Marcus Gilbert appears to be a scratch after re-injuring his shoulder in Sunday’s victory over the Titans. That means Jonathan Scott could likely get the start at right tackle. That is, if Chris Kemoeatu isn’t healthy enough to play. If he is, look for Trai Essex to get the start on the right side for the black and gold. Trying to predict each weeks starting offensive line is like trying to predict what the winning lottery numbers are going to be.

Last week, the offensive line kept Ben Roethlisberger clean for the most part, as they only gave up one sack to one of the more dominating defenses early on this season. They also paved the way for Issac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer to rush for nearly 160 yards. Redman may be a scratch this week with Rashard Mendenhall coming back from a hamstring injury.

The Steelers have been a banged up bunch as of late, but their inspired play last week gave Steelers fans hope that they don’t already have one foot in the hole. Facing a Jaguars team with a rookie quarterback and a head coach who is on the hot seat more than Rush Limbaugh always helps. If the Steelers are to have success, they will need to shut down the human bowling ball, Maurice Jones-Drew.

Jones-Drew is hard to find sometimes, as he stands slightly taller than a circus midget. However, he runs the ball possessed and is rarely taken down by first contact.

Kickoff is slated for 1 PM with coverage on CBS.

Eagles Searching for Identity Eagles Continue Early Season Struggles

By Matt Masullo

The Philadelphia Eagles have been prone to turnovers as of late. If they look to turn their season around, they will need to “turn over” a new leaf as they take on the Washington Redskins this weekend.

Surprisingly, the Eagles turn the ball over more times than they take it away, with Michael Vick tossing seven interceptions and losing one fumble. The Eagles defense has been run through and thrown on all season long, and in order for them to compete in the NFC East, they will need to find an answer on the defensive side of the ball. The Eagles have given up over 700 yards in rushing yardage through five weeks, and rank near the bottom of the league in rush yards against. They are ranked in the middle of the pack in total defense though.

Facing a Redskins team that ranks in the middle of the pack in terms of rushing yards, and at the bottom in total offense, this could be the week the Eagles make a statement defensively. The Eagles are -10 in take-aways, ranking at the bottom of the NFC. The Redskins have a -1 take-away ratio, meaning that they have turned the ball over one more time than they have taken it away.

For the Redskins, Rex Grossman has been rejuvenated by the coaching of Mike Shanahan. In his ninth year out of the University of Florida, Grossman has had his share of critics over the years. He did help lead a Bears team to the Super Bowl in 2006, but was still run into the ground like a rail road spike. This season, he is guiding a ball control offense that features several relative no-name players such as Tim Hightower, Ryan Torain and Fred Davis.

Coverage begins at 1 PM on Fox.

Happy Valley to Become “Urban Valley”?

By Matt Masullo

The Philadelphia Eagles defense continues its early season struggles, as they surrendered nearly 200 all-purpose yards to Bills running back Fred Jackson in a 31-24 loss this past Sunday. The Bills defense also intercepted Michael Vick four times on the day and turned one into a touchdown when Nick Barnett rumbled into the end zone from 31 yards out in the second quarter. His second interception came in the fourth quarter, and closed the door on a potential Eagles comeback.

The Eagles talented roster has yet to jell this season. With a team of skill players that resembles a fantasy football roster, the Eagles can’t seem to figure things out. Offensively, they are moving the football, as Vick tossed for 315 yards and added 90 yards on five carries. Seldom used Jason Avant led the team in catches (9) and yards (139) with the likes of DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin at Vicks disposal. Their problems reside on the defensive side of the ball, as long-time offensive line coach Juan Castillo took over as the defensive coordinator this season.

In the fourth quarter with time winding down and a chance to get the ball back, Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick coaxed Eagles defensive end Juqua Parker to jump offside on a fourth-and-inches, allowing for the Bills to bleed the clock out.

For the Bills, Fitzpatrick was an efficient 21-27 on the day, throwing for 193 yards and a touchdown. He was also intercepted once. Jackson led the Bills in rushing, carrying 26 times for 111 yards and also hauled in six passes for 85 yards.

This week, the Eagles get back to work in their division, as they travel to the first place Washington Redskins. Should the Eagles falter yet again, they would find themselves four games back of the first place Redskins.

By Matt Masullo

In the past week, the college football rumor mill has been filled with chatter that former Florida Gator head coach Urban Meyer is reportedly “very interested” in succeeding Nittany Lion coach and college football icon Joe Paterno as the head football coach at Penn State University. Rumors run rampid each and every year, so one has to temper their expectations. Sometimes though, when there is smoke, there is fire.

Meyer, who now works at ESPN as a college football analyst, was reportedly seen meeting with Penn State president Graham Spanier and Athletic Director Tim Curley while on campus earlier this season. Though he could have just been exchanging pleasantries, it would make sense that he would be gauging Penn State’s interest in the two-time National Champion coach should he opt to toss his hat back in the coaching ring. He was also on campus last week covering the Iowa game for ESPN, wearing, you guessed it, blue and white.

JoePa, who is in the last year of his contract, has stated numerous times that he’d like to coach “another 4-5 years”. That was, of course, before he was injured on the sideline earlier this pre-season.

That injury has forced coach Paterno to coaching from the press box for a majority of the time this season.

There are several things to factor into the decision of bringing Meyer to Happy Valley. Number one, he recently walked away from a national powerhouse in Florida due to health concerns and for a desire to spend more time with his family. When would he want to walk away again? On that note, Meyer’s youngest daughter, who is a standout high school volleyball player, is reportedly interested in coming to Penn State. In case you hadn’t noticed, Penn State has a pretty good Women’s Volleyball team. They win, a lot; just like Meyer.

The cost in signing a coach with the clout that Meyer has will come with a steep price. Or will it? Meyer made millions of dollars while coaching at Florida as one of the highest paid coaches in the country. He doesn’t need the money to survive. It has been reported numerous times over the years that Penn State will not pay top dollar to bring in a coach to succeed coach Paterno. They did bring in a top notch coach in Cael Sanderson to turn the wrestling program around and that panned out pretty well (2010 National Champions). It’s not out of the realm of possibility that the University and its boosters foot the bill to bring in a coach like Meyer.

Meyer, an avid Paterno admirer and friend, doesn’t want to be known as the guy who pushed Paterno out of town. If the administration were to handle things properly (stop laughing, I know I’m reaching here), they could allow for Paterno to hand pick his successor; a “king-maker” so-to-speak. Paterno and Meyer have a good relationship, and if Paterno were to hand pick Meyer to lead the Nittany Lions into the future, how could the University say no to the man who they can attribute most of its national attention to?

Recruiting at Penn State has historically been more of a regional thing than a national thing. Imagine the recruits that Meyer would bring in; good bye Virginia, hello Florida! Meyers name alone would draw the interest of the four and five start recruits that teams like LSU, Alabama, Ohio State, etc. get on an annual basis. Nothing against the regional recruiting base, because there have been some great players who have come through Penn State from the surrounding states, but there are players who can play the game of football outside of the east coast.

This is all just very wishful thinking on this writers end. As a Paterno fan and admirer, I would hope that coach Paterno gets to choose how he exits the program that he built. Bobby Bowden was run out

of Florida State, and he, like Paterno, was an institution. I think that all Penn State fans can agree that “another 4-5 years” of coach Paterno would only hamstring the University from moving forward, and becoming the national power that it ultimately can become.

This could all be speculation, and with Meyer, he may just crave the attention. He may want yet another challenge. He has won at each school where he was a head coach (Bowling Green: 17-6 in two seasons, Utah: 22-2 in two seasons and Florida: 65-15 in six seasons with two national championships). While he was winning at Florida, the SEC was and still is, the upper echelon of college football conferences. To think he couldn’t succeed in the Big Ten is insane. Meyer is considered one of the most accomplished practitioners of the spread offense, but tends to build his teams on the defensive side of the ball. He also preaches special teams play like Billy Graham preaches the Gospel.

Meyer also has two things in his back pocket that Penn State has not seen for some time: he coached a Heisman Trophy winner in Tim Tebow in 2007 (Penn State’s last Heisman Trophy winner was John Cappelletti in 1973) and he has also coached a number one overall draft choice in the NFL draft in Alex Smith in 2005 (Penn State’s last number one overall draft choice was Ki-Jana Carter in 1995). Those can be two sticking points for incoming recruits, to see that Meyer markets his players in a light that the NFL takes notice will bring in some of the big-time recruits that Penn State has lacked in years past.

If Urban Meyer were to come to Happy Valley, this writer would welcome him with open arms. If you read further into the rumor mill, you would see that he has also been linked to Ohio State (he is a native of Ohio). Here’s to hoping those rumors are false, and that the Penn State rumors are true.

Bellefonte’s Own Gator Wrangler

PSU Karate Club Gathers for Promotions

Mountain League Soccer Teams Battle For Playoff Spots

According to Gary Wilt of Bellefonte, here’s how you catch a gator. You start with a fishing rod and treble hook.

You throw the line across the back of the gator and pull it toward you ’til you feel the gator. Then you set the hook and the fight is on. When you get the gator within 15 feet of the boat, you throw a larger treble hook with parachute cord line, set the hook, and the fight is on again! After the gator gets tired, bring him along side the boat and shoot him with a bang stick – a single-shot, 45-caliber gun mounted on a six-foot pole. Then you tape his mouth shut (for obvious reasons) and load him in the boat and head off to the processor. The meat can be eaten and the hide made into many items.

This is the second year that Gary has taken a vacation in Florida to catch gators.

UNIVERSITY PARK – The equinox occurs twice a year – a time of seasonal transition, a time of passage. In Japan, the Nijūshi sekki (二十四節気) calendar divides the year into 24 seasonal periods. The fall equinox is Shūbun (秋分).

Members of the Penn State Karate Club gather twice yearly around the vernal and autumnal equinox periods for a special time of training and recognition. On October 1, students welcomed returning alumni to the dojo (道場), their Karate training hall.

Student progress in the Okinawan martial art of Isshin Ryu Karate was evaluated by Black Belt instructors. Transitions in rank are marked, just as the seasonal changes are, with changes in belt color during a promotion ceremony. On the journey to Black Belt, students will grow from beginner level to intermediate to advanced, passing through 10 belt levels.

Teams in the Mountain League are battling for playoff positions as the season completes its sixth week and heads to conclusion in the next ten days. Mountain League teams play at all three levels in the PIAA playoff brackets and are seeded within the brackets based on a power-rating system developed by the PIAA. When the playoffs start Central Mountain moves to the AAA bracket, Bald Eagle, Bellefonte, Philipsburg, and Juniata move to the AA bracket, and Penns Valley is the lone Mountain League team in the A playoff bracket.

Using the unofficial power ratings, if the playoffs were to start this week, Central Mountain would be the #4 seed in AAA and would play a rematch against State College, a game that the Little Lions dominated in a 7-0 win several weeks ago. In class AA, Philipsburg Osceola, Juniata, Bald Eagle, and Bellefonte would earn playoff spots and would be seeded in that order with PO earning a #2 seed. Penns Valley would earn a #4 seed in the A bracket and would face a rematch with Belleville Mennonite, a game won by BM on Labor Day weekend 5-2.

The final playoff seedings will be earned on the field of play and there was plenty of action this week on the pitch. In an important rivalry game and one that will go a long way in determining playoff positions, Bald Eagle met Bellefonte in a rare night game in Rogers Stadium. The two teams sparred early as the offenses looked for holes in the defensive third of the field, but the defenders were up to the challenge as the game was scoreless at the half. Bald Eagle had several opportunities but could not finish a shot. As the second half waned the pace picked up and in the 66th minute Bald Eagle’s Brandon Gettig beat the Red Raiders defense and keeper Shane Kaschalk for the game winner. Five minutes later Doug Turner grabbed an insurance goal for the Eagles as he finished a shot off a heel-touch assist from Dan Styles.

The game staked Bald Eagle to an improved power rating for playoff seeding.

Bald Eagle played another important game on Saturday hosting Philipsburg and earning a hard fought 1-1 tie in double overtime. Bald Eagle featured a stellar defensive performance as they shut down the high-flying Mounties offense that averages four goals per game. The Mounties tuned up for the Bald Eagle match with an interesting win over Penns Valley. The scoreboard showed a 3-0 Mounties win but it was a ten-minute period that left the Rams wondering what might have been on a warm afternoon in Philipsburg. Mounties defender Taylor Golembowski has a huge thrown in that is equal to a corner kick when played into the offensive third of the field and twice the Rams had no answer to the Golembowski throw-in that netted two goals for the Mounties in less than five minutes. Alex Boumerhi completed the 3-goal victory margin with an insurance goal from 12 yards out beating Frankie Randazzo and killing the Rams chances for a comeback victory.

On Tuesday night Penns Valley played AAA Mifflin County at home and managed to keep the game scoreless late into the second half with a lineup comprised of six freshman and sophomores. In the 62nd minute the Huskies broke through the Rams defense for the game winner and Justin Lewis earned a hat trick in the games waning moments for the 4-0 victory. In other action Clearfield earned its first victory of the season beating Huntingdon 1-0 capping a tough week for the Bearcats as Bellefonte had the better of their match against the Bearcats earning a 2-1 victory.

Dickerson Slalom Festival in Kayak

By David Kurtz

Three members of the Mach One Slalom Team entered the Dickerson, MD Slalom Festival recently and came up on the podium.

Junior Paddler, Ethan Van Horn of Bellefonte, paddled to a bronze medal with a 91-second run in the Kayak class for juniors. Winner of this event was Simon Ranagan of Bethesda, MD with an 80-second score. Second place went to Michael Rudnitsky of Bethesda with an 88-second score.

In the Cadet Women’s Kayak class Evy Van Horn of Bellefonte took second place in 114 seconds. Sarah Mosier of State College took third in a respectful 120 seconds. Winner of this class was Eliza Malakoff with a 110-second run.

The race course at Dickerson is unusual in that it is a simple concrete trough with some “gum drop” obstacles placed in various locations. The current is fast and strong. The site is often used for top level races such as national championships and has some similar characteristics to the National Slalom course in Charlotte, NC.

B.E.A. Winter 2011-2012 Sports Physicals & Bonfilio and Allen Serve up Recertifications First Win for St. Joseph’s

By Les Barnhart

In the eyes of some it was just a Junior Varsity volleyball game but for St. Joseph’s Catholic Academy, it was much bigger. On Monday night, SJCA posted their first win in school history in any sport when they defeated Bellefonte in a best-of-three match.

Bellefonte took the first set before SJCA came back to win the second. Kinsley Bonfilio led the attack in the third set as she tore off an 11- point serve streak. SJCA ended the match and in process made school history as Maggie Allen’s serving closed it out.

Students needing a physical for basketball, wrestling, cheerleading, or indoor track & field, should report to the cafeteria on Thursday, November 3, 2011 at 3:15 pm. Physicals will be on a first come, first serve basis.

Nittany Valley Shakespeare Festival A Moon for the Misbegotten

By Eugene O’Neill The State Theatre October 14-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.

Dinner theatre, Play by Play October 17 The University Club On Monday, October 17, the University Club will host the second installment of Play By Play, Pam Monk’s new dinnertheatre series. Presented in the style of oldfashioned radio theatre, the family-friendly series is an irreverent but loving spoof of the region’s “football culture.” Tickets include a gourmet “tailgate-style” dinner prepared by The Sustainable Kitchen and are on sale at www.pamelapolis.com/.
